Important Naval Changes, REAR ADMIRAL CROSBY RETIRED AT HIS OWN RE- QUEST, ETC. Secretary Chandler this morning received a cable message from Rear Admiral Crosby, commanding the Aslatle station, dated at Shanghal, asking to| §% be placed upon the retired istimmediately,under the forty years’ service law. The request will be granted, and he will be at once relieved from his present command and retired. This retirement, together with that of Rear Admiral Clitz, which occurred several days ago, will give Commodore Rhind, who retires on the sist of October, an op- portunity tobe promoted to rear admiral before that Ume, when he will retire with that rank. ‘The action of Adiniral Crosby in thus hastening his retirement is considered a very graceful one on his art. It will make a difference to him of about 500 in salary, but it will increase the salary of Commodore Rhind about $1,000 a year as long aS he lives, | A naval examining, urd Will be ordered to- day toexamine Commodore Rhind for promotion, of which Vice Admiral Rowan will probably bé president. It is not known yet who will relteve Ad- Iniral Crosby of command of the Asiatic station. ‘The naval board to examine Commodore A. C. Rhind for promotion to the grade of rear admiral will consist of Vice-Admiral S.C. Rowan and Kear Admirals J. L. Worden and R. W, Shuteldt. Rear Admiral Crosby was to-day placed upon the retired Uist of the navy. Assistant Secretary New. NOT TALKING ABOUT HIS RESIGNATION THIS AFTER- NOON, Assistant Secretary New returned to Washington last night and to-day occupied his desk at the ‘Treasury department. “How long will you remain this time, Mr. New?” asked a Srar reporter. “I don’t know,” was the reply; “It 1s indefinite; 4t May be for years, and it may be forever.’” aig A¥glh will you tell me when you are going to re- ‘ST am not tae:ing on that subject,” was the ex- haustive answer. From the fact that Mr. New sent word to the ‘White House to-day to know when it would be con- venient for the President to see him, many think that he has not abandoned all intentién of resign- ig. a The Bigelow Embezzlement Cases. SET FOR TRIAL ON MPNDAY NEXT. ‘To-day, in the Criminal Court, Judge Wyle, the cases against Benjamin F. Bigelow, charged with embezzlement as a receiving teller of the National Bank of the Republic, was called—the district at- torney and assistant, Mr. Taggart, for the govern- ment, and Mr. W. A. Cook and Mrs. Lockwood for the defendant. ‘Mr. Cook presented a petition for a me- ment, reciting that on the 16th instant there was filed 4 motion for a bil of particulars, which was granted; that on the 25th instant, at 1:20p. m., there ‘was placed in his hands what purports to be a bill of particulars, which, however, does not answer the third panigraph ot the motion, inasmuch as it does not specify, in certain instances, whether the amounts were in drafts, notes, checks or currency, ‘with the indorsements thereon. He also asked de lay for time to examine the papers already served. Mr. Cook said that they were promised the bill of lars at once, but it was not furnisied till partie ‘or plate-press print- | Dine days thereafter. ‘The court said ‘that he would overrule the motion ont yun Mr Cook asked for a continuance to thisday weel COURT TO-DAY. The suit of Hallet Kilbourn against John G. Thompson, e: ms Of the Howse of Representati d for trial to-da: Cireult Court befor ‘ox. Mr. Kilbe claim to $350,000 da ainst Mr. Th for false imprisonment in 1876. Mr. Kilbourn was summoned as a witness before the “real est pool” investigating Committee of the House, but declined to testify in relation to business of the firm of Kilbourn & Latta or produce the books and | papers of the firm. arrested by resolution | of the House by the sergeant-at-anns, and, being brought before the bar of the House, again refused to submit his booksand papers. He was thereupon | committed to the District jail, where he languished | in durance vile for 45 days, unt! ter the adjourn- ment of Congress, when’ he gained his berty through a writ of Habeas corpus. Mr. Kilbourn en- tered sult against Mr. Thompson, the seneant-at- artas, for $150,000, and w in April, ISS, awarded $100,000 by a fury. This verdict, however, was set | aside by Judie MacArthur, and the case now comes: to trial under an amended Dill claluing $350,000 | damages. ‘This morning the case was taken up a lttle after eleven o'clock, Mr. Kilbourn was present with his counsel, Senator Voorhees, Mr. Enoch ‘Tot pten and Gen. N. L. Jeffries. Mr. John G. Thomp- son, the defendant, was also in’ the court room with his counsel, Mr. Wilson, District At- torney Corkhill and Assistant District Attorney Coyle. Some legal questions, growing out of the pleas of the defendant tothe amended bill, to which the plaintiff demurred, were taken up and argued by the lawyers. One plea alleged that the amended raternent of damages was barred by the statute of nitations, Judg 1d that as the original sult was entered withMh the time prescribed by law, ‘the cause of action remaining the same, an amend. ment merely to the statement of the consequen of such action fo the plaintiff was not equivalent | to entering a new suit. The court also overruled a plea involving the Jurisdiction of the House of Rep- Tesentatives to order the arrest.
