The commission- ers agreed with the Secretary tWat, under the law, th!s could properly be done. Instead, therefore, of the 90 dismissal3 which were threatened in the cena office the employes of that office, whose services aro no longer required, will be -given leaves of absence without pay and thus carried on the rolls of the department until Vacancies occur, ‘when they will be transierred, AN Army Rerinina Boarp has been ordered to convene at San Antonio, Texas, for the examina- tion of such officers as may be ordered to appear beforett. ‘The following ts the detail for the board: Lieut.

THE COMMITTEE GOING TO CHICAGO. ‘The Hill investigating committee this morning considered Mr. Coleman’s proposition to go to Chicago for the purpose of taking testimony re- garding the charges of fraud in the construction of the custom house In that city. It was decided that the chairman and Mr. McLellan should go to Chicago, and that Mr. Alexander should follow if necessary. Mr. Coleman said that he intended to west to-night.

There was no great change in the telegraphic situation to-day, except that the operators were, if possible, more hopeful and hichspirited than they were Saturday. The headquarters of the Brotherhood were removed this morning from Toom 28, National hotel, to one of the large parlors or assembly rooms of the hotel. Room 28 was too small, they sald, for their Increasing numbers. A RECRUIT. ‘When a Star reporter dropped in at noon there ‘were a score or more of operators sitting about the room reading newspapers and discussing the situ- ation. While the reporter was sitting in the room there was arap on the door. A brother came in and announced that there was a new member to comein. He came from the telegraph office at the fish wharf. “Let him come in,” sald the operator in charge of the room. ‘The young gentieman from the fish wharf was conducted into the room and receivod with a) Plause. “We will initiate bim after awhile,” sald the chief man. “We are recetving recruits like this all the time,” he added, turning to the re- porter. “We have our men out at the depots and Steamboat wharves, and pick up every telegrapher that comes along.” What the Operaters Say. NO WIRES CUT BY MEMBERS OF THE BROTHERHOOD. “It is a slander,” remarked a telegraph operator and a member of the brotherhood, to a STaR reporter, “to say that the brotherhood have or intend to encourage the destruction of the prop- erty of the Western Union. Our constitution especially prohibits any violence of any sort, and the published statements that we have cut wires or intend to do so is a story started by the com- Pany to injure us.” ‘THE W. U. CO. “ON THE RUN.” “The company fs on the run,” chipped in another operator, “The action of the operators who stayed in deciding to Join the strikers unicss the company came to terms with them is the last straw. They will not be able to hold out much longer.” ‘THE “INDIVIDUAL” PLAN. “Why don’t the operators agree to the propo- sition of the company to be treated as individuals and not as members of the brotherhood?” asked the reporter. “The effect of that,” was the prompt response, “would be that as soon as we returned to work the company would soon find {t conventent to dis- miss the principal members of ths brotherhood, and destroy, as far as Possible, our organization, and it is by this means that we are able to accom- plish anything.” “Besides,” he continued, “I would like to know why the Gperators have not as much right to be represented by a committee as the company. We have tried the ‘individual bust- hess.’ as the individuals will tell you, long enough, and have gained nothing except rebuffs.” CURSING GOULD OVER M13 OWN WIRES. Several others had joined the group, and one operator in his shirt sleeves came across the street, where he was at work, aud said, with a laugh: “We just recetved a dispntch which stated that Gould said that he would under no circumstances yleld tothe men. You ought to have neard the men break in all along the line with expressions. It must have sounded well in New York. They cursed Gould right and left, and {t was over his own wire.” This plece of information was received with shouts of laughter, THE WESTERN UNION OPERATORS. Division Superintendent J. E. Zueblin and Man- ager Whitney, of the Washington office, had a conference yesterday with the operators still working for the company here, all of whom have signed an agreement to withdraw from the service of the company at an early-day if concessions are not made to the strikers, Two members of the brotherhood were _presem$ by invitation. It 1s stated that the efforts made to induce the oper- ators at work to withdrate4rom thelr agreement was unsuccessful. Mr. Zteblin, tt 1s said, stated that the Western Union would treat with the oper- ators individually and redresa their grievances, but was informed that ajl communications must come to them through their executive committee at New York. THE B. & 0. COMPANY MAKES A PROPOSITION. ‘The eleven operators who left the Baltimore and Ohio office in this city met Manager Clarke last evening, at the invitatida of the latter. A propo- sition was made by Mr. Clarke to re-employ the men, provided he could treat with them individ- ually and not as members of the brotherhood. ‘They declined to return on this condition, and sald that they could only resume work with the sanc- tion of the executive committee in New York, which, of course, would listen to no atrangement which did not maintain the integrity of the broth- erhood. Mr. Robert Garvett was here Saturday, ‘but Manager Clarke stated that his yisit had no reference to the strike. He was on his way to Deer Park and stopped off to dine with a friend. He called at the B. & O. telegraph office and sald the company would be willing to accede to the terms demanded if the men would leave the brotherhood. At a meeting of the local assembly of the brotherhood last_ evening a resolution was adopted thanking the Baltimore and Ohio company forthe amicable offer made by Manager Clarke, and referring the company to the executive com- mittee in New York as the proper body to treat with, A letter of thanks was sent to the pro- prietors of the National hotel for favors shown to the brothernood. Why They Were Dismissed. A POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT SCANDAL. It was mentioned in Saturday’s Star that two male clerks and a female clerk had been dismissed from the topographical office of the Post Office de- partment “for cause.” A special from this city to the Philadelphia Times says: “A lively scandal has developed tn the Post OMice department, resulting in the discharge of three clerks from the topographers’ bureau. ‘This por- ton of the department is carried on ina private house belonging to ex-Governor Shepherd. The lower floor is used for the draughtsmen and the upper ones are devoted to the lady clerks. A few weeks ago a new watchman took the place of the Tegular Man and his attention was attracted by sounds of revelry in the upper regions. Proceed- Ang thither he witnessed a. ful orgie, parti- cipated in by two male and one female clerk and another woman. They were all Intoxicated. He reported the matter to his superior officers and in- vestigation showed that this was not the first time that these scenes had been enacted. The two male clerks and the female clerk were discharged to-day.” ————+¢-________ Huss Heard From Agat ‘HE MAKES A FINAL DENIAL OF THE LOTTA MARRIAGE STORY AND SAILS FOR EUROPE. ‘The public will not be mystified about reports concerning 0. E. Huss, whom many people persist in marrying to Lotta, for sometime to come, as that gentleman sailed from New York for Europe Saturday. Before the ateamer left he was inter- viewed, and made the same statement that he made in an interview with @ Sraz reporter some time ago. He denied that he was married to Lotta, the actress, altho he has married a young woman named Onaribece ‘M. Crabtree. “I ‘was married,” he said, “on duty 2d at Wai n to Charlotte M.

This morning in the Criminal Court, Judge Wy- lls, the hour for hearing the arguments on the motion to quash in the case of ex-Senator Kellogg, indicted for illegally rec-iving money while a gov- ernment officer—103 o’clock—found but few per- sons present. Among these were Messrs. Merrick and Ker, representing the government,and Messrs. Sheltabarger, J. Wilson and N. Wilson for the de- fendant, ‘The court having asked tf they were prepared to argue the motion, Mr. Ker asked Mr. Shellabarg- er, “Are you golng to open the elrcus?” and Mr. Shellabarger answered, “I will open somethin: but Ido not know whether it will sermon.” be asong or a KELLOGG’S BRIEP. Mr. Shellabarger presented a printed brief and proceeded with his argument, The recapitulation of the brief 1s that the indictment ts bad. Ist. It does not allege that the compensation ‘Was for procuring a contract, office or place. ‘2d. It does not allege or set forth, as the thing for which the compensation was taken, anything which fs in law equivatent to an averment that the compensation was for procuring a contract. ‘8d. What it does set out as the thing for which the compensation ts alleged to have been taken is not only not equivalent to procuring “any con- tract,” but the thing set out as that compensated by Price ts the procuring of Brady to make orders which the indictment and statute show the de- partment had a perfect and pre-existing Tight, power and discretion to make without the consent or consultation of Price, or any one else; and hence these averments are repugnant to theidea and position that the thing compensated was “for procuring any contract.” ‘The indictinent ts bad, as one. based on section 1782, because: ist. The indletinent nowhere avers that the defendant “received or agreed to receive any compensation for services rendered” or agreed to be rendered, in the language of srction 1782. 2d. It does not set forth what is at all equivalent to an averment that the thing for which the alleged fee was pald was “services rendered or agreed to be rendered.” $d.

A Srar reporter called upon Surgeon General Hamilton, of the marine hospital service, this morning and found that he had received no fur- ther information of the cholera in London than the dispatch announcing six deaths in that city from thedread disease. Dr. Hamilton hada con- ference with Secretary Folger last evening and it was decided to appoint sanitary inspectors for vessels leaving London and Liverpool bound for the United Siutes for purposes of notification, as 13 now done at Havana. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST INTRODUCTION OF CHOLERA FROM ENGLISH PORTS. “So long as the cholera was confined to Egypt or the Mediterranean countries,” sa!d Dr. Haril- ton, “we had but little fear of the contagion, but if thls information 1s correct and the cholera once gets a foothold in either London or Liverpool, we will have to use every precaution to prevent its being carried to this country. We will appoint a health inspector on the other side, and will notify the health au- thorities at the ‘leading ports on the Atlantic coast of the approach of dangerous vess°Is. They, on thelr part, will see that no vessel is allowed to land until in thetr opinion she fs safe. 1t fs strange,” continued Dr.Hamilton, “that England should not have taken the precaution of establishing a quar- antine against Egypt, particularly when nearly aii the other Européon countries took such action, but I suppose England’s commercial inter- ests are paramount.” * FIGHTING YELLOW JACK. “How about yellow fever?” asked the reporter. “So far we have been very successful in keeping rellow fever out of this country, and if we can Keep tt off threo weeks longer We will think that we are pretty safe for this year, so far ag vessels from Vera Cruz are concerned. ‘The two points we have tofear are Havana and Vera Cruz, and we are keeping a very vigilant watch upon them. ‘The disease has, apparently.nearly run its course amongst the shipping in Vera Cruz. So far as the city itself 1s concerned and travel communt- cation by land, there is very strict quarantine by the health officer of Texas, in which the Mexican state of ‘Tamaulipas’ has joined. An officer of this service is stationed at Brownsville, Texas, and he, personally, visits Matamoras.’ The board of healthof Louisiana has declared a non-intercourse quarantine with in- fected Mexican ports, and the sanitary authoritics all along the gulf coast are i. ‘This service maintains the quarantines at Ship Island, Pensa- cola and Sapelo Sound. | There is plenty of yellow fever at e first named able) but 1¢ 19 fifteen miles from shore. As as fae vessels on all in = — — -danger from low fever year is practically one unless, by some inadvertence, it should spread ‘trom some quarantine. That we are to prevent; the strictest night and day ‘waten is kept, and the crews of vessels in quaran- tines under my control are mustered twice daily, to see that none have escay ‘The revenue cut- ters have been directed by the Secretary to ald and assist the maintenance of quarantines, and With their efficient help a t deal can be accom- plished not otherwise attainable, especially on the i coast, where they will send vessels in- ted ports direct to Ship Island. CHOLERA REPORTS TO THE NATIONAL BOARD OF BRALTE. A report, date July 5th, was received by the tatned. There is much excitement over the re- ports of the ravages of the cholera in i, for should the scourge once get a foothold, so utter is the lack of proper sanitary precautions within the city lmits,{t would in all probability sweep away = one inhabitants compelled to remain exposed Reports have been received at the office of the abana doy ar neuer Tuas al and at Simanoud 4.

Fortunately for the company, busiuess ts light at tnt asom of the year, and’ as it ts sttll further diminished ‘by the effect Of the strike the force at work is ample to attend to all the business offered. So at least the Western officials say. There was no business left over last night, and this morning all the wires were clear Rt there was no delay in handling all the matter. € Of the officials sald the outlook was becomnit more encouraging every day. He said: “The force at our command ts now more advantageousiy a! tributed than at any time snce the beginuine of the strike and everything 1s wooking much more smoothly than “could have been expected under the circumstances. By this rearrangement of our forces we hope to avold in the future all those delays which necessarily ree sulted from the demoraiization attending the strike last week. The number of applicants for situations is increasing each day and, before the end of the week, we hope to have most of the empty desks supplied. It certainly does not seem as though we were much hampered when we ara able to send and receive messages to and from all polatsin the south and west, The statement thatour usiness in the gulf states Is completely biocked 1s without foundation.
