The ctvil service commissioners to-day received a letter from ex-Repres:ntative Dezendort stating that Mr. C. Clark, Senator Mahone’s political as- sessment agent, made an assessment last week of five per cent on the salaries recelved by all of the employes of the Norfolk navy yard, and tht this was the third assessment levied upon the same employes by the same man inside of a year. Dr. Gregory, civil service commis-toner, stated to a Stax reporter to-day, when asked about the letter, that as ithad just been received no investigation had yet been made of the charges or statements contained in it. ALL REPORTED VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW TO BE IN- ‘VESTIGATED. “The views expressed by Judge Thoman in re- gard to political assessments,” sald Dr. Gregory, “are in accord with those of the other commis- stoners. Idon’t mean to say anything that looks like amensce. Itcan be sald simply that tt serious and earnest intention of the commis. ers to call the attention of the proper autuorities to every Violation of the law of which we get good and suffictent evidence. When a charge 13 Made that the law has been violated In any de- partment, and we are satisfied of its truth, we will notify the Secretary that such a charge is made And we believe it to be true, If ne neglects to take the proper steps we will report it to the President, As far as pros-cution under the law ts concerned anyman canmake complatut to thexrand ury. Idon’t see why Mr. Dezendort did not make bis complaint to the grand jury. Every case of violation of the law reported ‘to the commission has been investigated. Of course the commi sloners cannot act upon hearsay testlmong or the Statements of newspapers.” CLARK NOT A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYE, Chiet Examiner Lyman, when spoken to con- cerning the Dezendorf letter, sald he had no knowledge of the matter officially, though he had heard of It. He had been informed that Ciark Was not a government employe, and therefore did hotcome under the Senator Mahone w chairman of the committee, and it was an esting question how far the acts of Clark, as tre urer, involved the other meimbers of ‘tue cou- mittee, —____+e-______ Civil Service Promotions. THE COMMISSIONERS HOLD THAT PROMOTIONS CAN- NOT BE MADE OF MESSENGERS INTO THE CLASSI- FIED SERVICE. ‘The civil service cornmission will investigate the action of the Interior department, as reported in the newspapers, of promoting two messengers to positions which places them inside of the $920 grade of clerks. Sometime ago the right of heads of departments to promote from the ranks of laborers into the classified service came into ques- tion at the Treasury department, After an inter- view between Secretiry Folger and members of the civil service commission, the Secretary ac- cepted the view as to the construction of the law. Their views, as_ expressed by Commissioner Gregory to a Srar reporter to-day, 1s that no head of a department has a right to’ promote aman from the rank of laborer to the classified service. Such a transfer 1s not a promotion, but an admis- ston into the classified service, and no one can be admitted into the Classified service without ex- amination, ‘The civil service commissioners have made a draft of rules to govern premotions from one grade to another in the classitled service, but they ave not been finally adopted. Meanwhile, pro- Inctions within the classified service are made in accordance with the rules heretofore followed in the departments. a Senator Gorman’s Name Forged. HOW HIS ACCOUNT WAS OVERDRAWN AND HOW YOUNG WHITEFORD, THE ALLEGED FORGER, WaS TRACKED THROUGH INFORMATION GIVEN BY A BABY FARMER. Last week Mr. R. B. Nixon, financial clerk of the United States Senate, discovered that there was something wrong in his accounts with Senator Gorman, and he at once communicated with that Senator, informing him of the fact, and his (Nix- on’s) suspicion that the Senator’s name had been forged to money orders. Senator Gorman asked for a statement of his account, which was fur- nished him, and he found that it had been over- drawn, but should not have been. He sent word to Major Dye, superintendent of the Metropolitan police department, who assigned the case to De- Wwetive Block, who went to Baltimore last Monday, taking with him the money orders which he got from ‘Mr. Nixon, purporting to have been drawn and signed by Senator Gorman, Finding Mr. Gor- man, he showed him the orders, from which the Senator selected out several, pronouncing them forgeries, the sum total of which amounted to $520. ‘The signatures were very fair imitations of the Senator's autograph. The fact being well known to the officer that Senator Gorman’s former private _ secretary, named Wm. 8. Whiteford, had been atres during the last session of Congress for forging the Senator’s name, but by some means had been re- leased, he suggested that it might be the same person. Senator Gorman stated that he had dis- charged his secretary at that time and had no knowledge of his whereabouts. Mr. Block re- turned to this city and commenced a search for the young man, who, he learned, was still living here, somewhere in the sixth police precinct. He Went to soe Lieut. Guy, of that precinctwho know him well, having arre-¢4 him last winter on the charge of forging the Senator’s name. Lieut. Guy told Biock that Whiteford had farmed out his in- fant child to a colored woman, and shat he and his wife were living at another place. Lieut. Guy suggested to Block that he goat onee to the col- ored woman (Branson), 519 21st street, and make pretense that he wished to farm out a child. ‘This was arranged, and the woman replied “Yes, she wot take the baby.” When the officer asked for some reference the woman referred to her connection with Mr. Whiteford, and gave his address on 10th street opposite the Medical Museum. Lleut. Guy an Detective Block went there on Tuesday eveniny and found that Whiteford was not at home, an were told to come later on the day following. The officers posted themselves and waited under cover until 12 o'clock at night, when Mr. Whiteford re- turned home. He at first dented his name, but Lieut. Guy, who knew him, stepped up and told Block to take him along, as he was the right man. He made no denial, and at the station, where he has been since, he made no secret of his forgery and talked very freely. He sald to the officers that he had been over to Baltimore to see the Oriole and stopped at the same hotel and eat at the same table with Senator Gorman. “And paid for his fare with Senator Gorman’s money.” interjected one of the officers. “Yes, that’s true, too,” said Whiteford, glee- fully. He made no secret of It atall. He 1s a youn: man, not above 28 years old, a native of Marylan PROCEEDINGS IN THE POLICE COURT TO-DAY. Mr. Moore stated in the Police Court to-day that there would be four warrants against Whiteford, charging him with forgery, and they would be issued a8 soon as Senator Gorman arrives. ‘Mr. Campbell Carrington sald that he appeared for Whiteford, and it was proposed to waive ex- amination and give ball for the action of the grand jury. Mr. Moore said that he would be content with Dail in $1,000. The court made an order that when the war- rants are returned that the clerk could take the bail in that amount SENATOR GORMAN AND REPRESENTATIVE TALBOT BOTH MAKE AFFIDAVITS AS TO FORGERIES. Senator Gorman and Congressman Talbot ap- peared at the Police Court to-day about 1 o’clock, and Senator Gorman made affidavit to three war- rants charging Whiteford with forging his name to checks for $520, and Mr. Talbot tora check on the sergeant-at-arms of the House for $65, on which Whiteford was committed to jail. ‘WHITEFORD IN Jar. Detective Block accompanied him to jail, and the prisoner’s wife also accompanied him. —— Potomac River Regatta.

The following is the plan for the relief of Lieut, Greely and party which Engineer Melville sube mitted to the Secretary of the Navy In writing: “Greely, without doubt, 1s now at Littleton Isl- and, where he expected to Nud stores and other Me.ns of relief. ‘The Yantle is at St. John's, New= foundland. Telegraph orders to Capt. Wilde to put his guns and extra Weights on shore; reduce is Officers and crew to a minimum for safety 12 Working the ship: fll the ship with stores and coals, all she will carry; buy twelve first-claas whaleboats with ouuits. Put material on ship for manufacture of boat sleds and material for cl ing, tents and sleeping-bags. All this material can be made upon board tbe ship on the way to Cape York. If the ship cam be got to the northward of Cape York there Will be no great difficulty in commuuteating with Greely ‘Ubis winter. Arriving at Cape York or any point to the northward, send the stores and with a smail party to guard the stores, in addition to the party who are to go toGreely’s rellef. If the ship can be got to the northward of Cape York or Cape Athol there are plenty of harbors to wine terin. If not, work the ship well in shore an@ take chances 6f wintering on the shore lee a8 far from the running pack as possible. The Yanttc ig @ strong, well-built ship, stronger Chan most of the Whale ships that do duty tn those waters; her greatest defect is in being too large.

While T believe that no slp can be built to withstand the pressure of ice at all times, the chances of a well-braced ship to come through are numerous. If the ship stands the ioe during the Winter, and the ice moves out in the spring time and carries the ship to sea, tne chances are still good to drift out with the southerly pack rit. If the ship is crushed the while boats are at the command of the people on the ship, and those landed at Cape York are for the use of the relief party and AS regards the probability of getting the siitp to Cape York so late In the season, there Is & doubt, but there are many chances In favor of Ung ih, Possibilities are against us, but es are in favor of us, and there ‘woul proportional amount of danger to the ship's come pany than there is that some of Greely’s party If sick would succuinD to the Idea that Ubey are to their fate.

Vincent, and prayed an absolute divorce on the ground of cruel treatment and drunkenness, an@ Mr. Vincent filed an answer and also a cross-bill, charging the wife with adultery. The wife gave testimony before the ‘examiner in ber owa Debalt, i ais E SEbbEEE and ir. Earle cross-examined her at some_ le! This deposition was offered by Mr. Chandler so far as it might prove cruelty. Mr. Earle urged that, as Mrs Vincent had been examined on her own Dehalf and without, objeo- tion, the whole deposition should be read; that he had’ a right to the whole of it on her sworn statement as tothe matters upon which she had spoken; Dut that if this were not the cone struction of the rule, that then the portion us to al- leged cruelty was incompetent because this was not a bill for divorce from “bed and board,” but for absolute divorce. Judge James ruled that under the 98th equity rule a comptainant could only be examined as to cruel treatment When no competent witness was present, and then only in a case where the appica- Uon was for divorce from “bed and board,” when Jt would be anaiogous to anexamivation on appll- cation fora peace warrant. ‘This ruling he cov. sidered to be the construction of the general term in Russell vs. Russell and tu Burdett vs Burdett, and he excluded the entire deposition, —_—— Affairs in West Washington.
