THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS.—The strict enforcement of the regulations regarding the exit and entrance of employes and others having business with the Treasury department causes general dissatisfaction. The rules governing the Watch say that no one shall be admitt'd to the building after 2 p.m. unless specially authorized by pass, and then they are compelled to enter at the isth-street entrance. Bank messengers, messen- gers from other departments, employes of the White House and newspaper reporters, when mak- ing their last trip through the department, must ‘0 round to the 15th-street entrance to be admitted. he rules governing the employes say that the office honrs are from 9 a. m. until 3:30 p.m., yet in the rules of the watch office hours are construed to last only until 2 p.m., and this ruling ig adhered to, The same rules govern exit from the building, One of the controllers of the Treasury attempted to pass throuzh the west door Monday afternoon, but was prevented. Inucrr DIstix.eRies CarTvRED.—Information has been received at the internal revenue bureau of the capture by Collector J. W. Patilipsof an Ilicit distillery of W. 'T. Ford, in Pickett county, Tenn., near the Kentucky line, consisting of copper still and worm, 6) gallons capacity, 30 Inash tubs, 2,000 gallons apple pomace; also, the distillery of’ Wm. Conaisen, in Fentress county, 120 gallons y, 700 gallons pomace and 60 gallons brandy. For want of transportation the sUlls were destroyed. The owners escaped to Kentucky. SAILING UNDER Fatse Corors.—Atter Mr. Chap- man was nominated for Congress in the conven- tion at Marlboro’, Md., yesterday, he made a speech in which he sald the departments at Wash- ington were filed with persons who claimed to be residents of Maryland, but who upon Inve: ton were found to be from Massachusetts or other New England state. e ELECTION FURLOvGUS.—Leaves of absence cover- ing a week have been granted such employes of the departments who reside in Ohio to ge 2ome and vote at the state election tobe held nest uesday. A majority of such employes will leave the city this wee!

J, Dabney and Assistant Paymaster J, R Mar- Un, have been ordered to examination for promo- tion. The resignation of Naval Cadet Clarence Martin has been accepted, to take effect from 3d October, 1883, and he has been detached from the Alllanc? and’ granted leave until that date. The resignation of Naval Carlet Thos, P. Patterson has been accepted from the 30th inst. Masor J. W. Powe, director of the U.S. geo- logical surveys, 1s planning to proceed to Arizona in a few days to take the fleld in connection with one of his surveying parties. His health will, it 1s hoped, be much improved by a season of out-door work. THe YeLtow FEV Tue Star Rovre SERvick.—One feature of last year’s financial showing of the Post Office depart- ment fs that there remains #,,000,090 of the appro- prlation for star service unexpended. When Gen, rady subinitted the estimates for the year he wanted $8,260,000, but Congress only allowed $7,900,- 000. As two millions of this sum remains unex- pended, {t 1s apparent that under the new manage- Ment the star service cost $2,860,000 less than Brady’s estimate. Aw IsporTaNt PaTeNT Dgciston.—The Patent Opice Gazette publishes an important decision of Judge Nixton, of the district court of New Jersey in regard to the duration of the term of a United States patent, the decision having been adopted by the Patent Office. He holds tirst, that section 4887 of the Revised Statutes requires’ the commis- sloner of patents, when issuing the United States patent to so limit it as to expire witu the foreign patent bearing the shortest term; that the fling of the application in the United States Patent Office does not relieve the patent from the limita- tion imposed by foreign patents granted subse- quent thereto, but, previous to the grant of the nited States decision of a late commissioner in ex parte Mann; that the date of a Canadian patent ts to be deter: igsue and not of its deliy- the term of the domestic patent is lim- ited to the time of the foreign patent in force when the domestic patent was granted, and 1s not pro- Jonged by any subsequent extension of the foreign patent. Mr. BLAIN®’s ILLNESS.—Press dispatches yester- day reported that ex-Secretary Blaine, who has for some time been the guestof Mrs, J. Bigelow Lawrence at York Harbor, Me., had been quite {lL On Saturday, Dr. Hawkes, of York, was called in, and Dr. Wentworth, of Kittery, was summoned on the day following. “The crisis was considered past on Sunday nicht, and Monday the patient was more comfortable. Yesterday he was much bet- ter, and it is expected that he will be out in a few days. Mr. Blaine telegraphed to Mrs. Blaine last night that he had been si Gar Ale fever, which he ascribed to malaria, but that he was better, and expected to reach home this week. SECRETARY FoLcEr’s Svuccessor.—The belief among the quid nuncs now Is that Secretary Fol- ger’s resignation will be in the hands of the Presi- dent in aday or two, and that his successor will be appointed upon the return of the President to New York. The triends of Assistant Secretary New now fecl confident that he ts to be Judge Fol- ger’s successor, and are strengthened in that con- fidence through advices received in this city within the past thirty-six hours. THe ALABAMA Cour oF CLAIMS.—The Alabama court of claims held their first sesston thismorning at their rooms on H street, between 14th and 15th. ‘The three judges, Wells, Harlan and French, oc- cupied seats on a'raised ‘platform behind a high desk. There were a large number of lawyers present, representing the clatmants, who are prin- clpalty from the New England states. The session ‘was devoted to hearing arguments from the coun- selin regard to changing rules adopted by the court upon its organization, requiring sults for damages arising from rebel ctulsers to be made in the names of the various owners of cargoes. AS many of these are dead or in distant parts of the country, the counsel desire such a modification of the rules as will permit the suits to be brought in ‘the name of the ship’s husband, Mr. Brewster CaMgron HeRe.-—Mr. Brewster Cameron arrived in this city last night, and was in his office at the Department of Justice this po When questioned ag to the time when he would make his report in regard to the star route jury, Mr. Cameron declined to make any statement, saying the matter was now undergoli investigation by the Attorney General, and he dic not think {t proper to say anything at this time. Although Mr. Cameron, in the absence of the At- torney General, declines to make any statement for the public touching the charge of Foreman Dickson, of the star route jury, itis known that he has made a statement which will throw the burden of proot pon Mr. Dickson. In short, this 1s a denial of all and singular the eee at forth in Dickson’s affidayit. “The policy of the De- partment of Justice will be to pi in g manner Which will sega give the one who made the chi an amp! he pate A to prove it if he can. ‘Mr. Bowen 1s still in Philadelphia, put is ex- pected to be here very soon.

COMPLETION OF THE SURVEY. A Tunnel Line Adopted—How the Work Can Be Do: Major Lydecker, Lieut. Greene and Lieut. Hoxie have completed the surveys of the proposed ex- tension and enlargement of the Potomac or Wash- ington water-works, and will submit the same to the bureau of engineers Of the army in a day or two. As soon as these can be gone over and adopted the necessary steps will be taken to se- cure the condemnation of the land, invite propo- sals and inaugurate the work before the present year ends. Through the plan as agreed on the improvement can be prosecuted in winter as much as it can be in summer, thus shortening the timein Piich It can be completed Yery materially. | ‘The late Major Twining thought that the increased supply of water could be furnished in the mains of the cities of Washington and West Washington In the course of eighteen months; but itis thought that it will take a longer time than that. In fact, it 1s the intention of those having it in charge to prosecute the work with as mtich vigor as} 1s ossible consistent with the magnitude of the un- fertak ing. THE TUNNEL LINE. The engineers have finally decided to connect the lower or distributing reservoir back of West Washington with the proposed new reservoir om the hill back of Howard University with a tunnel. Tuey find that the cost will be no greater than a surface condult, which will call for very deep and expensive excavations and for an expensive super- structure across Rock creek on which to lay the water mains, The tunnel will be sunk down to bed-rock and gounder Rock creek. One advan- tage of this is the fact that it can be worked in every season, and day and night if necessary. This tuntiel has been located ina straight line, running: back of Glenwood cemetery, from the lower reser- voir to the new one, and Will have a road bed on it covering the dimensions requlred under the act of Congress. HOW THE WORK GaN BE PROSECUTED. One of the best features of this great work is that all portions of it can be prosecuted at the same time: 1st. The dam at the Great Falls can be raised and extended, if need be, while the tunnel 1s being made. 2i. The condemnation of the many acres of the lan! tor the reser voir north of the city can be made and the.work entered upon there and completed in advance of the tunnel. 8d. The connection of the new reservoir can be made with the mains of the city without waiting for the completion of the tunnel or reservoir. It is understood that the onicers of the work do not think it essent present, to extend the dain at the Great Fails, but work will be entered upon the other portions at no, very distant day. The appropriation, fortunately, is sufficient to meet every requirement on every hand, and under the control of Major Lydecker and Livuts. Greene and Hoxie the earliest and best re- Sults may be anticipated. —— a Affairs in West Washington. A SERIOUS AssavLT.—Andrew J. Arlington, a foreman at Libbey’s lumber yard, was fined $20'or 6) days in jail by Judge Snell this morning for making a brutal assault.on Win. Moody, of V1 ginia. “Moody’s head was terribly cut, and his clothes were completely saturated with blood. He walked to the stand with some difficulty and stated that he remembered nothing of the assault, Mr. Rebert Libbey testified that Mr. Moody came to the lumber yard yesterday and asked for Arling- ton, saying he wanted to lick him. He walked down the yard and met Arlington and appeared to be very drunk. Hestruck at Arlington twice with- out striking him, when Arlington picked up a brick and knocked him down. ‘The defendant tes- tiled that he met Moody last Sunday night ata lady's house in the 1st ward, and he Insulted wit- ness and drew a knife on him. Moody was charged by Arlington with making threats of violence to him, and this case was dismissed. ‘THe ScreNce oF Cuanrry.—An informal meeting ‘was held last evening at the residence of Rev. John 8. Lindsay, in Georgetown, for the consider- ation of the best methods for improving the con- dition of the poor. ‘There are indications that a leaven of dissatisfaction is at work with the past inadequate means and applignces to meet a grow- ing evil. This conference polnted to the “Associ. ated Charitles” agaffording some solution. Among the thirty gentlemen an Tepresentative citizens of Georgetown, who Wer® present were Hon. Jostah Dent, Mr. F. L. Moore, and the Rev. Mr. Howe, Stuart, Baker and Lindsay, of George- town, and the Rev. Floridus Steele, member of the central board of the Washington assoclation. Dr, Lindsay in a few brief words welcomed the guests and nominated Mr. Dent as chairman, who stated the object of the meeting, with which his former Position tn the city government and as president of the central board gave him pecullar opportunt- ties for acquaintance, and with which work he expressed his sinceré sympathy. Mr. John H. Voorhees was then appointed secretary, and the chairman called upon Mr. Moore, the president of the Georgetown division, and the clergymen pres- ent, who, with their wide experience, made prac- tical suggestions and put knotty questions which occur in the every-day experience of those whose sentiment of benevolence leads them to rel.evo present suffering without constdering ultimate re- Sults. ‘The discussion elicited matter for profound Teflection, and the conference was regarded as highly satisfactory in diffusing a wide knowledge of the working of this association and awakening a further spirit of inquiry. ‘The necessity an feasibility of starting a work-room for women, connected with a day nursery, where worthy mothers can leave their children while they are engaged In dally labor, was discussed, and suitl- clent encouragement Was guaranteed ‘to develop future plans. ‘THE FAMILY OF MRS. MARGARET WixsmrP Por- SONED.—Mrs. Margaret J. Winship, a well known lady in this city, living at 1252 2th street, pur- chased Saturday some salted sheep tongues trom George T.

There was @ large attendance of members pres- ‘ent, and matters of importance were considered. A combination pool and billtard table arrived on last Monday from J. G.

R atan THE OCTOBER REGATTA, Sport on the River To-Day. SCENES ABOUT THE BOAT HOUSES—INTEREST TAKEN IN THR REGATTA—FINAL ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR THE RACES THIS AFTRRNOON. ‘To-day has been anticipated with unusual inter- est by the District boating men. There have been more important races held on tha Potomac, and there have been larger crowds of spectators, but never before has there been a regatta in which Such lively interest has been shown among the lovers of aquatic sports. This is purely a local af- fair, and our home clubs are matched against each other for the championship. ‘THE SCENES ON THE RIVER last evening were very lively. All the crews se lected to contest if the races were out for a final pull before drawing up to the starting line this afternoon. Many pleasure boats were filtting in every direction, their occupants anxious to get a view of the different crews when well under way. A number of single scullers were also on the water testing the relative speed of the different crews, but the scullers who expected to row to-day took a rest before the final struggle. Parker Page at- {acted 9 good deal of attention by his fast. scull- ing and his easy style of pulling, and his friends are confident that he will be successful in Satur- day’s race. Taylor, the Potomac trainer, was flit- ung about tn the “Lord Dufferin,” and Ellis Ward, the Columbia trainer, had out two of ‘his substl- tutes in a pair oared. Kennedy and Faulkner, two well-known oarsmen, were carefully watching the different crews, but keeping very quiet as to their opinions on tHe result. ‘The Rappahannock of Fredericksburg, went out for a practice pull from the Potomac house, and create. quite a favor- able impression. Their style has Improved very much since the Fredericksburg regatta on the 4th of July. The crews did not take very long pulls, and were safely housed before dark. The scenes at the different houses were very lively. TH2 BETTING. Everyboty had favorites, and not only talked about them but readily backed them when oppor- tunity offered. The betting on the senior race was slightly in favor of the Columbias. In the light weight race the Potomacs were greatly the favorites, the general Impression beng that their crew fs the prettiest four that pulls on the river. Not much was sald about the junior race, for the Analostans are an unknown quantity, and little has been seen of their crew. It was generaily thought that the struegle between Morgan and McKinney, of the Potomacs, for the senlor single Tace, would be very hot, and each contestant had irleuds in great numbers. TO-DAY ON THE RIVER. “A perfect day for a boat race,” was the remark frequently made by boating men this morning. ‘There was but little fear of rain and it was hoped that the cloudy weather would continue. About eleven o'clock, however, the clouds were dispelled and the sun shonebrightly. Little knots of enthusiastic boating men were eagerly but quietly discussing the chances for the day at an early hour in ali the boat houses, The large num- ber of spectators did not begin to assemble until the hour appointed for the first race grew near, Holtzman’s barge was anchored off the point of Analostan Island, Just at the finishing line, and made a capital grand stand from which a splendid view of the finish of the races was obtained. ‘Those anxious to see the boats as they shot across the line had seats on the barge reserved. The Analostan boat house was another place from which a fine view of the races could be obtained, and the members of this club were very generous with their cards of invitation. The other two boat houses were too far from the finishing line, which was directly off the G-street_ wharf, to be patronized to any extent. Easby's Point and the wharves near G-street were filled with a crowd of enthusiastic spectators. The tug Kate was en- gaged by the committee to follow the races, and Only the referee, judges, timekeepers, members of the press and the six members of the Rappahan- nock club, who are here, were allowed upon it. ‘The t lenry C, Winship was also engaged for the atternooa, and the donors ot, the ‘various prizes and a few prominent guests were invited to passengers upon it. GETTING READY FOR THE RACES. Abouf half-past eleven o’clock the float, which Was brought from the Coiumbla landing for the purpose, was towed down the river, having on It the Columbia shell carefully covered, and was anchored at the starting point. The Columbias thought it advisable to use the same shell for the three crews, and the plan. was that the men should change places at this float. The Potomacs also preferred that their men should not row down to the start, and before the hour for the Traces a large scow was towed down from their house with their shells upon it THE COURSE IN GOOD CONDITION. . Areporter of THe Star rowed over the course this morning, and found everything in perfect con- dition for successful races, Not a répple disturbed the smooth surface of the water. The general impression was that to-day’s regatta would prove one of the most satisfactory in the-annals of boat- ing on the Potomac, None of the petty quarrelii and bickering among the different clubs, whic! has heretofore characterized our local boat races, has as yet made its ‘appearance, and itis sincerely hoped that the hatchet has been buried forever, and that to-day’s regatta will be the forerunner of a series of Potomac regattas that will be equal in interest to any in the country. A DELAY. ‘There was some delay in starting the tug-boats down the river, but about 1:20 the Kate with the referee and members of the press and the judges steamed down the river, followed by the Win- ship with about thirty invited guests on board. The referee was Mr. H. C. Watts, of the Undine Club, of Baltimore. The time keeper tor the Potomacs was Mr. P. T. Dodge, and the jud; onthe boat Mr. L. T. Carpenter; judge at the finish, Mr. J. D. Doy! The time keeper for the Columbias was Mr. Robert Leding; judge on the boat, Mr. J. H. Gordon, and atthe finish, L.C.Chew. Time-keeper for the Analostans was Mr. Samuel Maddox, and judges Mr. H. C. McKenney and L. J. Hatch. The tide was running out, and as there was considerable current still in the river it was -not expected that very fast time would be made in the various races. THE FIRST RACE. The first race for junior singles was called at 1:37, The only starter in this race was Smith, of the Columbias. Henderson, of the same club, who was entered, concluded to save himself for the ight | weight | race.

They also warn all appli- cants who engage in or who may continue in the business after the expiration of their licenses, no- tifying them that they do so at their peril, as in all cases where the application shall for any rea- son fail they will be prosecuted under existing laws, and the money deposited for license will be held to pay any fine which the court may im upon trial It has been customary for applicants to commence or continue the selling of liquor upon the filing of application, and thus get the advan- tage of several months business with no license, pending the action of the board upon their appli: cations. ‘This is to be prevented in the future.
