The names of all the employes were written on sitp3 of paper, placed in a small box, an‘ then shaken up, to be’ drawn as occasion Tequired. Those first drawn are furloughed for two months, at the ex- piration of which’ tim> they will return to their duties, and an equal number of others will be fur- loughed for a l!ke period. So far about 45 clerks have been furloughed in this way. More will be furloughed from time to time. “The number of employes now on the roll is 170. It 18 pro to reduce this number about one-half, which tt 1s thought will be sufficient to keep up the work of the bureau now drawing to a close. It has also been dectied that these furloughed clerks can be transferred to any other bureau of the Interior de- partinent, where additional force may be re- quired. PeRsONAL.—Mr. James E.

THE PROPOSED NEW LINE OF STEAMERS TO NEW ‘YORK, ETC. “I don’t think there is anything in it. It 1s in- tended as a bluff for us,” remarked Mr. Alfred ‘Wood, the agent of the Inland Coasting company, to a Sra reporter this morning. He had been asked what truth there was in the statement that the ferry company intended to put a line of steam- ers on between this city and New York. “We have no objections in the world to their putting on as many lines as they wish,” he continued; “but Thave heard about this projected line for four or five years, ane it is no nearer, an actual fact. I suppose that they don’t like it because we run the Thompson between here and Alexandria on Sun- day. But they put the Arrowsmith in the river in the first place in competition with the Thompson. I think that we havea rightto run a ferry to Alexandria if we wish, and I am sure that we will have no objections if the ferry com- ey Cae a line to New York or anywhere else, a8 Ea i aN in uri ataes at ere is nt is me! a bluff for our benefit.” t me Pennines be crores ana of Led Dybeognd ington Steam! mapany, said, in re a uestion: “There 1s & good deal in that state: ment. The fact is, the company are now making thetr preparations ‘and have got everything ready “When will that bet” asked the reporter. “T can’t tell you, but it will not be very long.” If this line is started there will be low rates De- tween here and New York, as there is between here and Norfolk. ee A PENNSYLVANIA LAWYER DISAPPEARS WITH AND 4 YOUNG WomAN.—J C, ids of the nd ne Bent Pe i 4.

There will be a meeting of the Tegatta committee at the Riggs House at 8:30 this, evening, when the time for beginning the races and the order in which they shail come will be de- cided upon. Immediately afterward those who have entered In the different races will draw lots for sitions. Although the program has not yet been fe Stated, a STAR reporter finitely arranged, as learned ‘to-day: that unless there is some unfore- scen obstacle the races will be as follows, one half hour intervening between the starts: 3'p.m., ju- nior fours; 8:30, junior singles; 4, gigs; 4:30, elghts; 5, Special singles; 520, doubles; 6, sentor ‘slogles; 6:30, senior fours. IT 18 EXPECTED that the race for the senior fours will be the most interesting event of the day, and for that reason it will take the last place on the program, for then many more spectators he able to witness it. It is thought that tne contest between the Hills- dale, Eclips? and Ottawa crews will bea very close one. Rowing men who were present at the National regatta at Newark last week say that all of thesc crews were dissatisfied with the result, as ineach instance something prevented their making the showing they felteenfident of making, me hence they are anxious to meet each other again, THE EUREKA CREW, the victors at Newark, have also entered for this Tace, but they have not put in an appearance yet, and {t 1s generally thought they will not be here. With tnis exception and that ot Wells,of Chatham, Ontaro, who entered for the senior singles, all those who entered are here — A PROPOSED EXCURSION. The regatta committee intended giving an ex- cursion down the river, after the races, to the vis- {ting oarsmen, but {t was decided to hold a recep- tion at the Riggs house tn the evening instead. ‘This being the case% wili enable tiem to com- mence the races as late as three o'clock. ‘The Columbias were unable to engage the steamer Corcoran for the occasion as was in- tended. ACCOMMODATIONS FOR SPECTATORS. Holtzman’s barge and scow with graded seats will be stationed at the finish, and will afford a splendid view of the races. The Analustans have erected seats un the balconies of thetr boat house, and will be able to accommodate quite a number of invited guests. From the neighboring wharves an excellent view can be obtained, while the river will be literally covered with pieasure boats. Two police boats under the direction of the harbor master will keep the course clear. The September Regatta. ‘The Potomacs and Analostans are working hard for the September regatta, and its success 1s already assured. They have a magnificent array of prizes. ‘The handsome prize which has been promised by the Washington Light Infantry wilt Teserved for what 1s expected to be the most interesting event—the elght-oared race.

FISHING AND HUNTING AND KBEPING A SHARP LOOK- OUT FOR INDIANS, The Chicago Tribune has the following special from the presidential exploring party, cated “Camp on Warm Springs, Wyoming, August 11:” “The presidential party left the camp near Din- woodle Lake at the accustomed hour this morning. ‘The Prealdent has killed trout to his heart's con- tent, and game has been procured 90 abundantly as to become monotonous, The principal obj Seen on the journey to-lay were the Crow Heart Buttes and ont’s Peak, 40 miles to the south. ‘The Washakle Needles are rapidly moving to the north, while beyond, and almost on the trail 1s ‘Tenion Pass, The river trail is constantly ascend- ing, growing rougher. Soon the sage brush dis- appeared,and the trail tediously entered the dense forests of the Wind River range. Here the road continusd through narrow canons and over fallen timber, now crossing snow-fed torrents, now breathlessly winting up steep canons, only to descend the next one and repeat again.

The party have experienced no Kittle difficulty in procuring pure water, free from minerals. ‘The water here would physic an In- dian bust in front of a clgar store. The chief magistrate bimself is not free from the painful ef- fects of the alkall, but has not been down with the colic, as was the cas>in his last summer's Jaunt, ‘The President has been informed of the re- turn ot Roscoe Conkling eastward, and 3 laughingly about the reports sent abroad that a confab betweenaim and the Senator was to occur in the wilderness, He 1s trying to learn the Indian totgue from the dusky guides, and will doubtless be able to comprehend his’ Indian visitors at Washington. Extra precautions are now being taken to guard against surprise from the bands of robbers and straggling Indians and wild ani- mals which infest these regions, It 1s expected to-night to make an onslaught on the wild anl- mals which comedown to the waters near here to drink.” IN THE HEART OF THE YELLOWSTONE. A telegram from camp at Buffalo Laxe, Wy. T., yesterday says:—Since the President's party left Fort Washakte three days’ journey have been made toward the heart of the Yellowstone. The President, who 1s well known to be alate riser, often complains at theearly hour he is compelled to sleep, but. by dintof constant rising with the sun, he has already found that while daylight lasts longer In this forthern Intitude than at Washing- ton, sleep is welcome and more restful as soon a8 night fafls On the morning of leaving Washakie, President Arthur was awakened at 5 o'clock by the din of preparation throughout the camp, All around him outside was bustle and activity. Partles were flying in all directions to com- plete the final preparations for a ride in the saddle of many days among the mountains Every one about the fort knows well that General Sheridan always starts promptly at 6 in the morning and stops at 12 forthe day. He Dever varies this program for any one, except that he sometimes starts earlier, 80 as to reach hts des- Unation exactly at noon. ‘Shortly before 6 in the morning Charlie Campbeil, the famous gulde,with his traih of pack animals, Indian guides and tente- men. appeared in readiness for the journey. Campbell was Custer’s most trusted scout, and was the last min to leave his column to carry word to Major Reno. In?fact, he was the last to Jook upon Custer’s face alive, and many will re- member him as the most ‘important witness against Reno. After breakfasting the presiden- tal party sald good-bye to Secretary Lincoln, who was to remain several days at the fort, and'then the small caravan rumbled away, with Campbell at its head. From Fort Washaktc the trail ran nearly north over sage brush, almost parallel to the old road, twenty miles distant trom Wind River. THE PRESIDENT CASTS HIS LINE. The President spent the entire afternoon fishing In the cool water of the lake, one of the most ptc- turesque on the continent, He had no dimculty in hooking any number of speckled trout. They bite with any kind of tackle or Bait. One has only to double up a pin, attach it to astring on any kind of a stick, with a piece of red flannel, a grass- hopper, or anything else for a bait, and the trout bite in these mountain streams and pools as fast as they can be hauled out. On the stage lines the drivers kill the large sage hens, or cocks of the plains, as they are often called, with the whip.’ Fishing or hunting here "is no art It ig simply slaughter. ‘The trout in the mountains is like perch in the east, with none of its eastern shyness. Just now it ls infested with a parasite, and the party 1s obliged to use extreme caution to procure sound fish. ‘The valley 1s oppressive, and on the elevations the wind bows in hurricanes, ‘The nights, however, are delightfully cool, The President takes naturally to roughing it, ‘There are those who predict that an effort will be made by Indians or bands of robbers, which are thick around here now, to selze Mr. Arthur, carry him into the mountain fastnesses, and hold him for ransom. An oid stage driver gravely says that the plan, if well carried out, might succeed. gee Fighting Mahone. THE REASONS WHY GEN. WICKHAM ACCEPTS A DEM- OCRATIC NOMINATION. Gen. Wm. C. Wickham, of Virginia, 1s out in a card accepting the nomination in Hanover and Caroline counties against the Mahone candidates, He says: “I accept the nomination in response to the unanimous call made upon me by the democratic senatorial convention, a call which, in view of the fact that Iam recogniz24 as a consistent republi- can, Tappreciate as the highest personal compll- ment that could be bestowed upon me by those among whom Ihave always lived. I regard the party calling itself the coalition or readjuster party,lod by men who are seeking only to advance clr Own personal ends, as baleful to the best in- terests of the state, false in its pretensions, cor- Tupting in its practices, and utterly hostile to every honest principle of government. Holdin, these opinions of this party, 1am in full acco1 with the democratic party of this state in their effort to defeat it. Most cordially will I strike hands with them to the end that Virginta may be redeemed from misrule. And most earnestly do 1 call upon the republicans of the district to ald me in the effort,” ———— Democratic Reform in Maryland. GOV. HAMILTON'S VIEWS ON THE SUBJECT. A number of prominent democrats of Maryland concerned for the continued supremacy of the democratic party in the state, addressed a num- ber of queries to Gov. Hamilton touching the political issues, to which he has made an elabor- ate reply. The points upon which information was especially sought were: what further measures of reform are necessary for a constitu- tional and honest administration of the govern- ment of this state? Second, what measures have ‘been adopted during your administration to effect these desirable objects? ‘Thin, what are the pro- per means by wi they may be secured to the le?” The rnor admits that there is a general dis- contentin the part 2, and thinks that it can be satisfied by full ig the promises of reform. GOV. HAMILTON'S RECOMMENDATIONS. He therefore urges the following reform meas- ures: There should be a more efficient law for the protection of primary meetings against viole! Traud and corruption, and also most stringent searc legislation against the corrupt use of money elections. ‘here should more thorough provision made for the fair conduct of elections by election officers, and there should be a law prohibiting assessments upon office-holders and employes in every branch of the public ser- vice for election purposes: By, any pretended polit- ical authority or organ’ lon. she sake of the office only, created in 1878 with a sal- ary of $2,500\ and traveling expenses not to exceed and now added toitisaclerk with a salary of $1,200, NECESSARY LEGISLATION. ‘There should be a law to limit the number of the officers and employes of the legislature, to fix their and to prohibit extra or double. allowances.

GOOD EFFECTS OF OUT DOOR LIFE ON THE EXPLORING PARTY. Camp CrossY, On Dinwippte CreeK, August 11th, a Fort Washakie, Wy., Aug. 12—Breaking camp at 6:30..m., the leaden gray sky and drifting ciouds ‘added to the slight rain and the heavy dew of last night gave a delightful freshness and coolness to the air. The bracing atmosphere as the party started on the day’s mi he release from the Durdens of official and soclai Iife, the exhilerating effects of the climate, the wearing away of the little soreness that some of the party felt from riding; all the good effects in fact of this out~ door life were seen in the buoyant manner in which the memb2rs of the party mounted and rode away. Senator Vest again scored the greatest number of trout yesterday; but a shower in the afternoon quickly put an end to the sport and pre- vented very inuch competition. The route lay along an old Indian trail mide faint by time. A portion of the party left the column and skirted the foot-hills and mountains to the left in search of game and scenery; but the game had nearly vanished, well nigh exterminated, and only oae deer and one antelope wore seen. A march of 14 miles brought us to Dinwiddie creck, a noisy moun- tain stream, rushing down in a boisterous way to join ita water with that of Wind river. In honor of the governor of Montana this camp has been nam : “CAMP CROSBY.” ‘The country passed over to-day was mostly roll- ing, interspersed in the valleys, susceptible of rigation; but the future prosperity of this section depends mainly on its belng utilized for grazing urposes, The grass had already taken on a whish tint—the first indication of the “curing” process of this climate, and in ttils lies the great Secret of its retention of nutritious properties. It seems a pity that these streams should have lost their Indian names, as for instance the spot where we made our first camp s calle by the aborigines “MOANING BUFFALO CREEK,” and here in winter, when there ts ice on the lake, a wild and pitiful sound 1s heard, much resemb- ling the moan of a buffalo in distress, Again, here at our present camp, the Indians call the stream “Creck with God’s Bridge,” and some ten miles above its mouth a natural bridge, about 110 yards wide, spans a chasm through which te waters rush. ‘This bridge is scarred and marked by trails made by the Indians, and gumeis dis- tinctly visible from the heights a mile above it. THE CANON IS GRAND, 80 grand and beautiful, in fact, that one of our party, who has wandered much in foreign lands, saysofit: “Nothing there can In any way com- are with it.” This gorge in the mountains, carved bythe Maker's hand, third to describe, Dut one cannot look at it but with awe of the Groat Arehi- tect. Near the head of the stream 1s a crescent in shape, backed by mountains, far down whose sides Ue graat banks of snow, banks which have rested here during all of the eternity of the past. Then come somber gray ro:ks, gloomy and barren, above all vegetation, and seeming to frown down upon the brigit waters and green follage below. ‘The stream opens out at short intervals into lakes. Several of thes? are two miles in diameter, and hey have a pale green color. A STORM. ‘The tents had beea pitched but a few minutes, and the fishermen had just commenced their efforts when from the northwest a great black cloud came sweeping over the bluffs, and a hall and rain storm made the party feel that they were enduring hardships; but they were just mild enough to be agreeable. The entire party is en- Joying the best of health. A Summer Resort Hotel Burned. PHILADELPHIA, August 18—The Hotel Devon, a fashionable summer hotel on the line of the Penn- sylvanta railroad, about elghteen miles from this city, was burned ‘to the ground about ten o'clock this mornihg.
