THE CANDIDATES FOR THE SEVERAL OFFICES TO BE FILLED, As the time for the meeting of Congress ap- proaches the organization of the next House be- comes @ subject of increasing interest. Candi- dates for all the positions, from Speaker down, are stirring around and seeking interviews with mem- bers. For the position of clerk there are three candidates, all ex-members—Gen. Clark, of Mis- sourl, Gen. Atkins, of Tennessee, and Mr. Martin ot Delaware. The race is regarded as between Clark and Atkins, both of whom have strong friends to back them among members with whom they have served. For Sergeant-at-Arms there are also three candl- dates nowin the field—Col. Thompson and ex- Congressman Leedom, of Ohio, and Gen. Colt, of Connecticut. Messrs. Thompson and Leedom eich claim to have the Ohfo democratic delegation at his back. It is now understood that they will submit their claims respectively to the delegation at a meeting to be held in Washfngton before the Organization of the House is entered upon, and the one receiving @ majority vote will be entered as Ohio’s candidate, the other to withdraw. Gen. Colt has the baking of all the New England democrats,and of some from New York,New Jersey and Pennsylvania. He was a Union soldier, and has been a lifelong democrat. For doorkeeper there are but two candidates— Gen, Field, the last incumbent under democratic rule, and Col. James Wintersmith,of Texas. The race between them ts thought to be close. Win- tersmith has the support of the younger element, of democracy, while Gen. Field seems to be Bron with the old fellows. Texas and Kentucky wil joe Wintersmith forward, while Georgia backs ‘eld. One of the points made against Field is that his democracy 1s not of that dyed-in-the-wool description which commends men to the party. = bas held office under a republican administra- jon. For postmaster there are four candidates. The Indiana delegation will present Mr. L. Dalton, at present superintendent of the Senate foldi! room. The Virginia democrats will nominate Mr. Fisher, assistant postmaster for the last demo- cratic House. North Carolina will present Mr. ey a son ~ em seroma ot that name, rs ir. George jerburn friends among ‘the members who intend to push him. ———_——-o-_____ The Potomac Regatta. PENNSYLVANIA CREWS COMING, Architect Hill Resigns NO REASON GIVEN IN HIS LETTER, Supervising Architect Hill this morning ten- dered his resignation to Secretary Folger, to take effect as soon as his successor qualifies, He gives no reasons for his resignation 10 his letter to the Secretary, WHAT MR. HILL SAYS. The Secretary has not replfed, but he stated toa Star reporter that he should accept the resigna- tion, Mr. Hill sald toa Stax reporter this after- noon that he would remain on duty, without doubt, until after the completion of his annual re- port, which will be dated October ist. Upon re- tiring from office he will practice his profession, that of architect, in this city, and will open an office here. Nothing is yet known as to who will be appointed in Mr. Hill's place. It ts sald that there are a number of applicants, but no formal applications have as yet been filed. ee Jieutenant Greely’s Fate. NO EXPEDITION THIS YEAR—AN OLD WHALER’S VIEWS—WHY CAPT. TYSON WOULD GO TO THE RESCUB WITH A SMALL VESSEL AND A CREW OF ‘WHALER. Another conference on, the question of the rellet of the Greely’s party was held at the Navy depart- Ment yesterday afternoon. There were present Secretaries Chandler and Lincoln, Commodore Walker, Dr, Emil Bessels, the Arctic explorer, and Capt. Mills, of the signal service. The conclusion ‘reached, after Dr. Bessels had been heard, was that it would be unadvisable to send a relief expe- dition this year, ANOTHER VOLUNTERR. Mr. L. ©. Caldwell, of Rome, Ga., has volun- teered to the Secretary of the Navy togoon a Greely relief expedition as meteorologist, CHIEF ENGINRER MELVILLE'S PLANS. Chief Engineer Melvilic has submitted plans to the Navy department for an expedition for the re- let of the Greely party this fall, volunteering to take charge of the expedition. Secretary Chandler has the plans under advisement, AN OLD WHALER’S OPINION. Capt. George E. Tyson, the old whaling captain, who has been connected with several expeditions to the Arctic regions, and who, last Friday, volun- teered his service to command a vessel to bring back Lieut. Greely and his party, said to-day, in answer to a question by a Star reporter whether any immediate ald could reach the exiled crew, “Certainly not. I was requested to appear before Secretaries Lincoln and Chandler Monday evening, when the advisability and feasibility ot sending out a vessel was discussed, and all were doubtful as to whether it would be advisable. I am certain that no vessel or crew can get up Smith’s sound before next summer.” z “What do you suppose is Lieut Greely’s situa- tion at present,” asked the reporter. “Well.” said’ the old salt, “I think he has pro- Visions enouch, ang will be safe if he remains in Lady Franklin bay this winter. If he has ven- tured down in September his crew have suffered Yery much. Ido not think any one can come down Smith’s sound in boats or sleds in the fall In August he could come down in boats, it he had them. I think it {s more than likely that he will Temin in Lady Franklin bay. The government would onty be sending men to their fate by send- ing an expedition out now. It would be imposs!- bie for any steam or sailing vessel to get up Davis strait. Uppernavik harbor is frozen up, and it is not a safe harbor for vessels. If sent out now, a Vessel would n reach its destination, and no time would be gained. The vessel would be up at Davis strait, and the men worn out by one win- ter’s exposure. I wonder that Lieut. Greely did not send letters to Littteton island last spring. Then his whereabouts and intentions would be known.” ADVANTAGES OF A SMALL VESSEL FOR EXPLORING PURPOSES. “It 1s sald,” suggested Toe Srar, “that you want a very small salling vessel, and toman her with whalers,” : “My reasons for that are these,” said the cap- tain. “In the first place, a small vessel can be worked quicker than a large one, and her move- ments controlled better. A large yessel 1s not necessary for exploring. I would have a vessel of about one hundred tons burdeh. }Some of the greatest discoveries ever made on water wero made by our ancestors in vessels of from twen' five to fifty tons burden, and I tell you we haven't made much tmnprovemént on them in vessels or discoveries. In relation to enlisting the service of whalers, I would simply say that lshould want men Icould rely upon, and men who know the pecullar dangers of the'northern seas, and how to avold them. There are nomen who understand the northern ice fields better than whalers.” “How 1s it that when the government ships crews to go north that the whalers don’t go into the service 2” asked the reporter. “That 1s because a whaler won’t be a subord!- nate on his own grounds, where he knows more about the business than any one else. He knows the danger he has to encounter, and he wants to be at berty to meet them according to the dic- tates of his own mind and experience.” “What would be your mode of procedure after you got fitted out?” was the next question. “I would examine the coast up to Littleton {sland tosee if I could find any traces of Greely or his arty,” said the Captain. “This would lead me to ape ‘Isabella on the American coast. There I would have everything prepared to drop two boats manned by picked men. Iwould send my vessel back to Fort Foulk. I would then go with my boats and reach Lady Franklin bay in about five days. If there were any survivors there I would bring them down to my schooner and return home. Itcould be easily done. The only time you can venture up Smith Sound {s in the month of Au- gust. The great mistake made by explorers 1s Unetr trying to take thelr vessels up Smith Sound. There never was but one vessel that went up and came down in the same season, and that was the Proteus. The proper way ts to go up this sound in small boats that can be hauled out on the Ice or on shore when the Ice is dangerous.” Capt. Tyson stated that the cost of an expedt- tion such as he would recommend would be about $25,000. His crew would consist of twenty-four men. Capt. Tyson commanded several ships ip the whaling Service after 1850, and he went with Capt. Hall on the Polaris as’ assistant navigator, and he and nineteen others were adrift 196 days onan ice floe without food, except what they could manage tokill. They ‘drifted 1,800 miles, before they were received by the Tigress, on which Capt. Tyson was subsequently made acting leutenant and Ice pilot. ———_—_—_-o.___ ‘The Riverdale Disaster. INSPECTOR CALDWELL SUSPENDED. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury to-day ordered the suspension from Inspection duty of Alex ander Caldwell, assistant inspector of boilers at New York, pending the investigation of the Riverdale disaster. Caldwell 1s the inspector who gave the last certificate of inspection for the Riverdale. Supervising Inspector General Dumont has re- ceived a letter from Supervising Inspector Star- buck, of New York, stating that the latter expects to have the witness Arthur Hyatt before the tn- vestigating board to-day. Hyatt is the man who says the fireman on the Riverdale reported to the engineer before the vessel left the dock on the day of the disaster that she had blowna hole in her botler. ——_-e-____ An Alleged Fraudulent Transaction, MARTIN. KEEF COMPLAINS TO BR A VICTIM OF A SCHEME TO DEFRAUD HIM OF HIS PROPERTY. To-day Mr. J. G. Bigelow filed a bill for Martin Keef agt. W. L. Bramhall, F. 8. Baker and others to quiet title and for an injunction to restrain de- fendants from claiming an interest in the west half of lot 8, square 780, (818 D street northwest.) ‘The plaintiff claims to have purchased the prem- isesof the late W. B. Todd, and sets forth that Zachariah Baker, M. A. Baker, Eten Curtis, Ro- setta Swan, Lydia F. Baker and Abigail Lucas, claiming to be the children and heirs of J. 8. Fecpnenson who died in yw in 1811, claim to have by 8 conveyance on Nov. 234, 1882, undertaken to have conveyed to Anna L. Bram- hall, as tenant in common, the west half of the lot for $500; although the property is worth many thousands of dollars. The bi alleges that Mra. B. never acent for the property. and that the retended transfer was made or found, and at the Instigation of ber husband. He also asserts that the other half interest im the lot wag prevended to be conveyed by Mrs. Bramhall to her husband No- vember 28d last, and on February 17th, 1883, they pretended to reconvey the west-half of the lot, ‘with certain other lots, to the other defendants, who conveyed it to trustees, and by this fraudu- Jent claim a cloud has been cast upon bis tith injuring him to the extent of $250, He states that ‘the trustees have given notice to quit the prem- ses in thi days, which notice was that Bramhall and Baker refuse to ing action in ejectment to try the rellaty ot pretended title, but are to constrain them a certain sum of money a8 & con- deed of release Clerks Going Home to Vote. A QUESTION OF LEAVE—A RUMOR IN THR POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT WHICH 13 AGITATING UNCLE SAM'S EMPLOYES. There was a rumor current among the clerks in the Post Ofice department to-day that one of the employes had been granted leave of absence with the understanding that {t included not only the reg- ular leave, but fifteen additional days for election purposes, The clerk himself had intimated that such Was the case and that he would not return until the end of October, He said that he was gol home to take rt. in the campaign, but unless he had the leave of absence heretofore granted to go home to Yote that he would not attend the election at ail. How he obtained the additional leave his fellow clerks are puzzled to know, ay itis generally un- d-rstood that under the law no extra leave of ab- senve with pay will be granted for any pur- ose. This seems to be the meaning of the law, ut as yet no authoritative ruling has been made and the question of elec- tion leaves will not formally come up until some clerk makes an application for a leave to go home to vote. The elections are still too far in the future for any such application to be made, and probably no one will apply for an election Teavepas the meaning vf the law seems to be per- fectly plain, an‘ this construction 1s generally ac- cepted by the oMicials in all the departments, ‘he employes of the Post Office department think that the only way in which the clerk refer- Ted to can obtain his extra leave 1s to have him- self reper as present during his absence. The Officials of the department deny that any clerk will be 80 favored, und that it will be impossible unless the chief of the division 1s derelict in his duty. It is stated that this clerk 13 a prominent litical worker, and that his services are needed in the Ohio campaign, and for this reason he is specially favored. —_»___ ‘The Cases of the Ex-Detectives. LIKELY 10 BE TAKEN UP IN OCTOBER, AND TO TAKE TWO OR THREE MONTHS OF THE TIME OF THE COURT. A Stak reporter asked Col. Jackson, counsel for one of the indicted detectives, this morning when those cases would be tried, and if the Brady- Kellogg star route cases would have precedence, as has been intimated. “The detective cases are much older than the Kellogg case,” said the barrister. “It is generally understood that the detective cases will be taken up on the 8th of October. Icannot see any reason for giving the Kellogg case priority of trial. Itis true It 1s of great importance to him to get these trials out of the way before the next Congress meets, and I would like to accommodat? him if I could do so without compromising my clients.” “How long will it tuke 9 try the detective cases?” inquired the reporter. “Well, tet me see,” continued the lawyer. “There are fifty-eight indictments in all. Thirteen against Miller, sixteen against McElfresh, nine against McDevitt, seven against Coomes, ‘seven agalnst Flinder, and six against Acton. ‘Taking ‘this toto account I should say it would take two or three months.” ————— Safety from Fire. THE NEW COMMISSION—~THEATERS, CHURCHES AND OTHER BUILDINGS TO BE RE-EXAMINED—THE WORK DONE BY THE FORMER COMMISSION LAST YRAR—THE NEW BODY T0 SEE HOW FAR THE RECOMMENDA- TIONS MADE LAST YEAR WERE CARRIED OUT. ‘The Commissioners have, a3 stated in THE STAR, designated Mr. Entwisle, the inspector of bulld- ings, and Mr. Cronin, chief engineer of the fire department, as a commission to make a re-exam- {nation of the churches, hotels, places of amuse- ment—such as theaters and public halls—and School buildings, with reference to their safety from fire, &c. This work, it will be remembered, was thoroughly done last year, by a commission appointed for that purpose, composed of the fire commissioners, Messrs. Collins, Tait and Bacon; Major Brock, of the police department; Bullaing Inspector Entwistle, and Chief Cronin, of the fire department. Mr. Peter F. Bacon was the chatr- man of the commission, witch inspected in detail the pubile places of the character mentioned, em- bodying in three separate reports the result of ‘thelr labors, PLACES OF AMUSEMENT. This first report contained an account of thetr examination of the theaters, public halls and other places of amusement, in which some exten- sive alterations were recommended, especially in the theaters. As, however, the amusement sea- son was at its helght, it was deemed unadvisable to interrupt the business of the theaters. As a temporary expedient, an arrangement in the nature of a compromtse was made by the Commis- sloners and the owners or lessees of the theaters, providing that in leu of carrying the recommenda tons Ut, at that time, there should be a detail of firemen upon the stage at each performance, so as to be ready to act instantly tn case of fire, with the understanding that when the season was over substantial changesshould be madein construction of the several parts of theaters, such as the bulld- ing of a thick brick proscenium wall in leu of the present wooden walls, witn wire or asbestos cur- tains, to be xed so as'to be lepdown between the audience and the stage. Also, the placing of a series of water-pipes under, over, and about the stage, so that the whole place could be flooded in @ minute In case of necessity. One of the duties of the mwly-appointed commission 1s to ascertain What has been done by the owners or lessees of theaters toward carrying out these recoinmenda- tons and what has been done by the owners of halls where assemblies are held and dances are carried on, CHURCHES. ‘The second report made by theformer commis- sion was as to the condition of the churches, all of which were thoroughly examined and every weak point noted and reported as to construction and to danger from fire. Many recommendations ‘were made, particularly with reference to the re- Yersing of doors so that they might swing out- Ward Instead of inward. Other suggestions were made as to the strengthening of wails found out of plumb,and strengthening of stairways and fire- proofing certain .parts of these structures, The new Commissioners propose to learn what has been done towards carrying out these recom- mendations also, CONDITION OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS. The third report related entirely to the public school bulldings, many of them being very faulty, and a large portion of the time of the former com- missian was given to this branch of the in- vestigation. The whole time given to the work intrusted to them occupled about three months, and the present District Commissioners do not propose to let the knowledge thus acquired be thrown away without bearing fruit. The report made Of thé sqhool buildings embraced the seat- ing capacity, the kind of construction, the nature of the material for stairways, width of corridors, kind gf heating apparatus used, whether parts ex- posed"te fire were fire proof or not, the nature and capacity of exits, number of ‘stories and height of buildings, the contiguity” of fire plugs to the and everything connected with matters relating to the comfort or safety of the pupils and teachers. The report closes with a recommendation that iron hand- Falls be placed at the walls on the stairways of all large school buildings, as they would be of great use In case of ‘ic. In conclusion the re- port stated that the “Peabody,” “Henry,” “Force” “and 10th and U streets” bufldings, erected that year, were, inthe judgment of the commission, Superior to any previously constructed, and should serve as models for the future school bulld- ings in the District of Columbia. The report Says: “The solidity of construction, (the interior wails being all of brici, the fireproof halls, broad iron stairways, ample and convenient exits, and the perfect system of heating and ventilating, make them as near perfect as can be devised, an almost preclude the possibility of a fatal result in the event of a fire or panic.” WHAT MESSRS. ENTWISLE AND CRONIN SAY, Inspector Entwisle, in conversation with a STaR reporter, stated that as for the schools it was un- necessary to spend much time on them now, as he knew personally almost the exact condition of every school building in the District. He also knew very well the condition of the pubiic halls, theaters and hotels, but he did not know so much about the churches. He would be ready to com- mence the work over again in three or four days. Mr. Cronin said he knew nothing as to what they were going to do, when or where they were to commence, nor what their duties would be. They End would be governed by what ine Commission: wi gov wi Commission- era directed. See eye An Obnoxious Telegraph Pole.

The Convention in .Boston To-day— Opening Scenes. Bosrow, Sept. 19.—The republican atate conven tion met in Music Hall to-day. The hall was de- corated on the platform with a picture of John A. Andrew, flanked by festoons of the national colors, and surmounted by a banner bearing the state coat of arms, and on the upper gallery with flags and streamers. ‘A few minutes after 10 o'clock, when the doors were opened, the galeries were filled with ladies and gentlemen as spectators, and the body of the hall was soon occupied by the delegates. An in- novation was the very ample arrangement for the accommodation of the press, Chairman Lodge, of the state central committee, came upon the piat- form at precisely 11 o'clock, brought down his gavel vigorously, and called on Secretary Flagg to Tead the call. ‘Ex-Collector Beard made and put the usual motion that Mr. Lodge be temporay chairman.ond George A. Flagg be temporary secretary of the convention, which was agreed to. Rev. O. P. Gifford offered prayer, and Mr. Lodge addressed the convention. PERMANENT OFFICERS. Senator Bruce reported as permanent officers of the convention: President, Charles R. Codman, Boston; long Ust of vice presidents; secretary, George’ A. Flags, of Milbury; assistant secreta: ries B.D. Wadsworth, of Milton; E. W. Burdett, of Boston; H. J. Moulton, of ‘Lowell. Messrs’ Bruce and’ Bennett escorted Col. Codman to the platform. COL. CODMAN’S ADDRESS. He was warmly recelved, and addressed the con- vention at considerable leith. In the course of his remarks he outlined the work to be done dur- Ing this campaign. He sald: “No national ques- Uons are now pressing for settlement, and under the rule of a republican ” President, who administers his office with | sagacity, and prudence, there isigreater tranquillity in the south and north than ever before siuce the war.” He acknowledged that party lines, as they now exist, might before long become obliterated and litical organizations might need to be recast. He made a strong argument in tavor of civil eer vice reform and permanency of employment for government officials, He discussed the _ spoils System at some length, and declared that it was the most pernicious and qamaging of all tendencies in party management. Passing to pecullarly state Matters he paid high tribute to Massachusetts and to her loyal sons; to her fluan- cial standing and business integrity. He con- Unaed: “It has been reserved for tue man who now occupies her executive chair to suggest a descent from her high pedestal by hinting that when in want of ready money which, through his objections, her — leg- fslature has “not been permitted to raise, the commonwealth might borrow those funds which she holds in sacred trust.” He admitted that abuses had from time to time been found, and that they would be found while men aré imperfect, but he asserted that the loud assevera- tions that “the people of the state had been the victims of gross delusion” were false and had been false since they were first made in 1878. He added: “One man has led this crusade against the fair fame of Massachusetts; a man conspicuous always of great audacity, of ready wit, of voluble and copious speech, and of rest~ less _personal ambition; a man of national noto- riety surely, if not of national reputation; who has often solicited and sometimes obtained the votes of the people, but who has never been able to retain them long; a legislator identified with congressional raids upon’ the Treasury; a Polltictan who has proposed to the people of ‘the nited States to repudiate their honest debts, and so to make their great and solvent country a by- word and a hissing among the nations of the earth: amajor general whose most valuable services were a8 a provost marshal, and never as a leader of men; and whose successes were those of a sutl" and not of a strategist. A large experience in deal- Ing with the perpetrators of crime and th» posses sion of unquestioned skill in the examination and cross-examination of witnesses, would seem to have well fitted him for the place of public Prosecutor. His accusations have been 80 bold and sweeping that he would be compelled, if pos- sible, to make them good. And so enougit repub- lcans were found who under ordinary clr cumstances would have refused him their votes to join with the democratic party, and place him in the position which he’ pub: Holy, announced | would give | him all the opportunity he desired, Under all the circum- stances, his election was for him a great personal triumph. Itseemed to condone the past and to express the popular confidence in the future. ‘The time of his inauguration came and the long-prom- ised indictment was presented. You ‘an now the appalling charges that were made. The Christian state Of Massachusetts, 1t was sald, had, through her agents, heathenishiy mur- dered her pauper infants and had made their dead bodies a source of illicit and disgraceful gain. At once the legislature fnd_the people were startled. Immedlate, thorough, complete, searching inves- tigation was demanded. A legislative committee was raised which formally heard whatever testimony was offered; but the real tribunal was the people’ of Massachusetts, who, from day to day, were called upon to give thelr attention and to learn of what kind of a com- munity they were members. He then outlined the evidence and the proceedings in the ‘Tews- bury trial, the interest taken in its developments and the anxiety of good citizens as to the result. Continuing, he said: “in regard to the testimouy elicited, 1° will be found that there is noth- ing in it for which Massachusetts, as a community has néed to apologize. If there is anything in it offensive and disgusting: if there are some passages which decent tnen catinot read aloud in the hearing of honest women; all such Passages ure not the record of mismanagement or neglect, but they are the scandalous, false and foul aspersions of the accuser. The legislative committee have made their report, and it ex- presses the opinion of all fair-minded people who ave given any attention to the hearing. Massa~ chusetts stands acquitted of cruelty, injustice and extravagance. She comes out of her fery trial sub- stantially unscathed, and it is not with her ser- vants, but with her chief calumniator, that she has now to reckon. . 5 Robinson Nominated for Govern Robinson was nominated for governor on the first ballot, having 996 votes out of 1,168. palit beet .
