Commerciai- Gazette to the effect that PrealdentGarfleld did not know him, was diszusted with his appoint- ment, and that’ there was no truthful foundation for the intimation that he hed confidential rela- Uons with the President, “In the first piace it 18 simply absurd to say that Garfeld did not know me. 1 have been more or less acquainted with all the prominent politicians, as 1s weil known, ior many years, and Gorfleid Was hot an exception, ‘and he could not have made such a statement; nor could he have sald that it was his intention to remove me, unless it was to escape the pressure of a few Personal enemies of mine. I know that a vigorous effort was made by a very few to have this dot Dutthatit signally fatied. The confidential relations between the President and me in regard: to the cases exlated from shortly after my employment. Up to that time Thad no conference with him tn regard to the cases at all. On Thursday before his assassination I had A LONG INTERVIEW WITH HIM and was present in connection with two others, If I remember correctly, on Tuesilay or Wednesday night prior, between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock. According to repeated decisions or opinions the district attorney, with the general and speclal attorneys, are under the control of the President, and tt therefore proper thut the President should ‘communicate to them the views or prin- ciples by which he wished them to be governed. This was not necessarily to the exclusion of the Attorney General, but was possible and proper to enable the Prestdent himself by gathering infor- mavion from all sources to form as perfect and correct @ view of the cases, both with a view to the spirit in which they should be conducted and the manner, as possible. He did only what was manttestly proper. NOT IN ALLIANCE WITH THE DETECTIVES. “My retention could not have been the result of any relation witha well-known gang of detec- tives,” referring to another newspaper statement, “for Inad none, It could not have been that the President expressed disgust when my appoint- ment Was spread upon the record of the court, for it wasa public and not a private appointment, and to appear in court properly, with the concur: rence of Mr. Justice Cox, the appointment was fled and made of record, and no one wio had any respect. for the President would place him in the ridiculous position of consenting to an ap- polniment which involved publle action, and then complaining because 1t Was mad public. ‘The fact_13, my appointment was wholly unsolicited, and I Was invited to accept it by the government, of which the late President Gartleld was then the actual head, and did so.” THE PRIVATE INTERVIEWS WI?H GARFIELD. “As respects my private interviews with the President,” continued the lawyer, “the New York ‘Sun says that the Attorney General had no part in these secret conferences, though he came to have a knowledge of them. Itis to be presumed that the Sun would not make so positive a state- ment editorially, if the secret conferences had not existed. It 1s unfatr to President Garficid to Say that, because he saw fit to consult with me in relation to the cases, that therefore {t was not his purpose to carry on the prosecution. ‘The only fair construction 1s that he probably wished to acquire all the infor- mation ip relation to them which he could, 60 a8 to act fairly and intelligently in regard to them. That he intended, alter acquiring such inrorma- tion, not only from me, bit trom the Attorney Generzl and from all other sources available, to act according to his deepest convictions of right and propriety in relation to the cases, Ihave no doubt. ‘That Isexactly what his position and duty required of hin.” 3 “PROTECTING GARFIELD.” “It 13 said,” continued Mr. Cook, after looking over an editorial in yesterday’s New York World, “that I desire to protect Garfield. I only desire that the actual facts, so far as possible, be mado known to the public. ’ Iv tsentirely a mistake that Iwas tn consultation with Dorsey and Brady, or that I conveyed to them the President’s views and acted as their mouthpiece to the President. I never had spoken to Brady until a considerable time after he was Indicted, and then only Incidentally. I had no personal knowiedge of any arrangements, If there were any, between Dorsey and Brady ‘and the President, One of the expressions used by the President to me, and which Ihave subs»quently used myself, was this, that while no one really gulity, in his opinion, should be allowed to escape, Do one apparently innocent should be convicted or unnecessarily pursugd. His own anxiety and pur- pose seemed to be to get at THE ACTUAL FACTS OF THE CASES, from all available sources, so that he could form full and perfect views of the relation of the par- ties, apparently involved, to the cases, and in this cautious and wise method, the selected President of the people, responsible to them, to decide what ought to be'done. He was not a! while regretting accusations against prominent citizens and influential members of the party, to use any improper or unauthorized means to protect them from the most rigid investigation. His only apparent desire was to do justice, to do that Which would be intelligent Justice, done to the ‘United States on the one hand and the suspected and accused parties on the other. It surprised me that any other hint or suggestion should have been made or entertained by any one in relation to the President.” District Government Affairs. ‘THR TOTAL ISSUR OF DRAWBACK CERTIFICATES to the close of business of June 30th was $717,934.- 68, of which there has Deen redeemed by receipt in payment of special assessments, $440,600.46 ; In payment of arrears of general taxes, $260,793.60.

Commissioner Dudley, in conversation with a ‘STaR reporter to-day, said that he belleved that the promise made to Congress that every pension claim would have been considered by his depart- ment by the close of the fiscal year, would be ful- filled. He had not verified this statement by the Tecords of the department as yet, but from what he could ascertain he beiteved that thero was now no claim pending before the department, the set- Uement of which was not dependent upon some information to be furnished by the claimant. Phere had been during the year a considerable incrésse In the number of claims fied over that of last year, 85 the following figures will show: 1862, 1883.

It would be in- teresting If you could get. the facts, to know what Proportion of claims filed by these firms have been allowed. Itis quite an instructive commentary on the effect of tis law when the fact 1s known that the number of attorneys before this depart- Ment has increased from 4,00 to 16,000 since its Passage. A Woman Torn Ry Bloodhounds. JUDGE SNELL ON THE INADEQUACY OF THE DOG LAWS OF THE DISTRICT. George Carl, of No. 913 7th street northeast, against whom a warrant was token out at the Police Court yesterday for keeping dangerous dloodhounds, as stated in Tne Stan, was called for trial before Judge Snell, this morning. An elderly lady named Martha Ankin, of No. 718 H street northeast, testified that she went out walk- ing early last Sunday morning with a chiid aud her small dog. Near the corner of 8th and I streets northeast she Was attacked by six lanre dogs. ‘Two of them knocked her down and pulling her Donnet over her eyes bit her on the neck and arms, and she was only saved by her dog coming to her rescue and taking the ferocious brates off after him, and before her dog got away from them he'was nearly pulled to pieces by the hounds. Dr. A. W. McGarvey stated that he was called to attend the lady ani found her badly lascerated and in a very nervous giale. He also stated that he has been attending her since and does not know what the sequel to the injuries may be. Mrs Annie Patterson, of No. 9:3 9th street, stated that she saw Mra Ankin golog in the direction of Mr. Carl’s house. Aiterwards she heard shricks and saw two of the large blood- hounds tearing the clothes off Mra. Ankin. ‘The recent law passed by Congress only tm- poses a fine of $10 for the first offense and $2) for the second offense of keeping dangerous dogs, and on the third occasion the dog can be killed. In disposing of the case Judge Snell sald: “Tus case presents the distressful Inadequacy of this dog law. ‘The law imposes a fine of $10 against People who keep dogs that destroy human life, and it 1s wonder that the life of this lady was not destroyed. If Congress had made the fne as much 28 $1,000 1t would have been little nearer the mark. Of course the Injured party has a good action for damages against the owner of the dogs that inflict the injury, but as a rule people who keep such dogs ate not worth the dogs they keep, and if you were tosue them you would perhaps get the skin of the dog. I will impose the only Ane the law provides—#10—and that is all T can on? Mrs, Ankin asked the court if the dogs could not be killed, and the court replied that her friends would bé safe in killing the animals. ——— The Glorious Fourt HOW THR OLDEST AND YOUNGEST INHABITANTS WILL CELEBRATE—THE DAY IN AND OUT OF TOWN. The Fourth of July this year promises to be almost as extreme in point of temperature as that of last year.

The probabilities Indl- cate but tittle use for outsite wraps on Wednes- day, nnd in the discussion of plans for spendt the’ holiday the question of how to keep cool will be the all important one.
