Bins 70 BE INVITED FOR FILLING PoTOMAC FLATS Gen Wright said to a Srar reporter this morn- Ing that Major Hiins has been instructed to re- advertise for pro) for filing about six acres of the Potomac flats near Easby’s point. The for- mer bids were too exhorbitant ard were rejected, and since then a number ef bids have been re- ceived, the lowest of which is satisfactory to the government, being eight or nine cents per cubic yard below the most reasonable of those rejected. As these bids were not made in accordance with advertisement, however, they will not be con- sidered, but the bidders will have an opportunity to bid again when the work is auvertis Enaivger Conrs Cuaxces—The following changes in the engineer corps are ordered: Caps. Wm. H. Bixby, relieved trom duty at Willet’s Point, N. ¥., and ordered. to New York to com- lete ‘the report of his investigations in Europe in 1881-'62; 1st Lieut. Dan C. Kingman, re- leved from duty as engineer officer, department of the Platte, and ordered. to Willet’s Point, N. Y., for duty; ist Lieut.

Spencer has been ordered to proceed from Fort Bayard, New Mexico, to Willev’s Point, N. ¥., and report in per- son to the commanding officer Of the enginer bat- talion for duty. THE Cask OF COMMANDER’ EASTMAN.—AS pre- dicted in yesterday’s Stan the naval medical board recommended that Commander T. J. East- man appear before the retiring board. Secretary Chandler approvea the recommendation, and Commander Eastman to-day was examined for retirement at the Navy department. There is no doubt, nor has there been alnce the PrestJent disapproved the findings of the former examin- ing boards, but that Commander Eastman will be placed upon the retired list. When this case 1s finally disposed of Commander Nelson will be ordered up for exemination for promotion. , PREVENTION OF PAUPER IMMIGRATION.—The principal subject considered at the Cabinet meet- ing yesterday was the alleged shipment of pauper immigrants to this country from Ireland by the British authorities, ‘The Secretary of the ‘Treasury subsequently telegraphed instraictions to the collectors of cnstoms at New York, to co- operate with the commissioners of immigration at that port to prevent the landing of all immt- grants found to be paupers within the meaning of the law. In the event that such pauper tmmi- grants may have already Iauded. as 1s reported to be the case with the large number shipped oa the steamship Farnessia, the collector is instructed to take all practicablé measures to have them re- shipped to the port from wuenco they came, THERE were forty-six, instead of forty-four, rev- enue districts abolished in the recent order. The transfer will probably not be completed before August 1. The change will savo $200,000. Army PRromorions.—The retirement of Capt. D.

SECRETARY LINCOLN ON GEN, CROOK.—Secretary Lincotn stated to a Srar reporter that he thought that Gen, Crook would arrive here the last of this week or the first of next week. “Gen. Crook,” he continue 13 a man that has been working hard, and he needs rest, and therefore I telegraphed him not to hasten, but to make the trip leisurely, as there was no necessity of his being here before Secretary Teller’s return to the city.” In answer to a question as to the reported placing of the captured Indians on the San Carlos reserva- ton, the Secrotary sat “That is all a mistake, fort be | hed Gen. Crook explicitly not_ to re- turn the Indians to the reservation, and I don’t think he has disobeyed orders.” Tue Case OF Tuomas OcHILTREE, formerly United States marshal in Texas, 1s stfll under con- sideration In the office of the solicitor of the treas- ury.

MR, WILBUR, OF NEW YORK, TESTIFIES THAT MR. HILL. WANTED PAY FOR SETTLING AN OLD CLATM. ‘The Hill investigating committee resumed its session at 11 o'clock, and J. M. Wilbur, ot New York, took the stand, and was questioned by Mr. Coleman. Witness had an account against the United States for putting in illuminated tiling for the New York post office, and presented his account to Mr, Hill in person in March, 1877. Mr. Hill, who looked it over, said 1t wasall right, but added that he ought to have something for settling such an old account. Ho said he would refer the Matter to Mr. Gannon (an employe of his office). He called Mr. Gannon, who took witness into an- other room and told him they ought to have 10 per cent for settling the claim. Witness neither as- sented nor dissented, but said nothing. Subse- quently witness caliéd on the Secretary, and found the claim bad been disallowed. ‘itness afterwards called Mr, Hill’s attention to Gannon’s Connection with contracts, and afterwards, upon advice, Assistant Secretary ’ Mc- Cormick’s attention to Mr. _Gannon’s ise, ani asa result Gannon was removed. Wit- ness believed that both Hill and Gannon made ad- verse reports upon his (Wilbur’s) claim. Mr. Hill Teporied to the Secretary that his (witness’) claim Was not worthy of consideration. subsequently Secretary French reported in favor of sending the claim to the Court of Claims, and afterwards Sec- retary Sherman reported in favor of sending it to Con, ‘as it Involved an appropriation of above $5,000. The matter was afterwards favorably con- sidered by Congressional committees. Mr. Hill appeared before the Senate committee and opposed the claim. Tne clatm is still unpatd. On cross-examination Mr. Thomas dsked: “How have you supported yourself during the past six years?” Objection to the question led to a prolonged dls- cussion as to its propriety and admissibility, and the question was changed to “what business have you been engaged in?” ‘Witness for the past three years had been en- gaged upon a farm in Fairfax county, Virginia, as superintendent. A protracted cross-examination ensued, the intent of which appeared to be to ex- tract an admission that witness’ claim was ainst Bartlett, Robbins & Co., and not against the government. Ques.—Why did you not make a record of this conversation which you alleged to have had with Mr. Hill in whtch you say he asked for 10 per cent? Ans.—Well, I thought it was rather a strange roceeding on the part of a government official, it I was o stranger in Washington at that time, and I did not know but that 1t was the cus- tom ‘with officials here. Witness said further, that he had no secret of the matter, but had told a great many people that Mr. Hill had asked him for 10 per cent of his claim for passing tt.

THE COMMISSIONERS’ LETTER. Mr. Brooks, chairman of the committee on ac- counts; prefaced his regular report of bills ap- proved by making a statement regarding the let- ter from the Commissioners prescribing the powers of the board in reference to accounta. He salt that the only object of auditing the Dilis was to afford a protection to the revenues of the District. He characterized the action of the Commissioners as another step towards centralization of power, Which was to be regretted. The talk about abol- ishing the board was nonsense, as it could not be done under the law. Mr. Birney gave an account of a visit to the Philadelphia schools and the work- 1ngs of the school board, which had entire control cf School matters. Mr. Lovejoy recalled the opinion prepared by Mr. Matthews when president of the board, and also the action of the first controller declining to pass school accounts until they were approved by the board, and expressed the opinion that the present Commissioners would meet a similar embarrassment.

He stated that Miss Lane had been granted a year’s leave of absence, and was now returned ready to resume her duties. Mr. Love- Joy having remarked that the standard of teach- ing in the High schocl had improved, Mr. Birney made quite a long speech, warning the board that there was danger of college cliques and fraterai- Wes getting the control of the schools. He re- marked that Dartmouth college had three grad- uates and Boston University four graduates ainong the teachers of the High school. He regarded it as unwise to leave the selection of teachers to the principal He moved to adopt the report of the committee on teachers, except as to Mr. Quinby, and Misses Selee and Jennings, the newly nom!- nated assistants in the High school This motion was carried, and their nominations, together with the petition concerning Miss Lane, were referred to the committee on teachers, RECOMMENDATIONS APPROVED.
