ARE MARINES A PART OF THE ARMIES OF THE Unirep Starrs ?—Referring to the action of Judge Hagner in refusing citizenship to a discharged ma- rine (an allen), on the ground that the marine camp 1s not a’part of the armies of the United tates, as contemplated in section 2166, Revised Statutes, Supervising Inspector General’ Dumont says that Judge Hagner construes the law less Itb- erally than fs done by Attorney General Brewster, who, in an opinion rendered in the early part of February, 1882, referring to the term armies in the statute, dectdcd In substance thas there could be ho question that, Congress, in using the term, ev- idently intended to apply it to the armed forces of the government generally.

Contradictory Opinion: Democrats. The Cleveland boom appears to be at ebb-tide to- day. Several prominent New York democrats have openly declared at the Capitol that Cleveland could not carry New York, and this has put a damper upon his prospects, Every time the Cleveland boom drops a point or two the Bayard boom goes up, and so does that of MeDonald. Judge Field has some faithful workers, who are watching every point for him. Representative Stevens, of New York, was a dele- ge from his eounty, to the late Saratoga conven- ton, and Was chosen by the latter a lelegate to Chicago. He was for Flo when he went to Sara- tega, but he 1s now for Cleveland. In conversation ‘with a STAR reporter Mr. Stevens sald: “1 am satis- x at Cleveland 1s the only man whom our dele- n harmonize upon, and that he will be the choice of the delegation. When I went to Saratoga Iwas afraid that he could not unite the different arty elements, and falling in that that he would be beaten. Now I ain satisfied he would recetve the ity, and I am sure he could arry the state.” Mr. Stevens believes that a ma- ority of the delegation now favor Cleveland, and that when it comes to making a selection to’ pre- sent at Chicago that the governor will have more votes than now. He was asked about the report that the Cleveland movement 1s in the interest of Payne, and that a dispatch was sent from Sarato; to the Olio Mator-elect assuring him that the New York delegation would be for him. “If any such dispatch was sent,” sald Mr. Stevens, “it had reference to Payne for Vice President. The talk of the Cleveland movement being an ambush for a Payne boom Isabsurd. Why, if Cleveland’s friends be- Meved him capable of such duplicity they would drop him instantly. I know delegates who are hearttly for Cleveland, but they would quit him in. disgust if they supposed he was scheming to noml- nate Payne or any man except himself.” Mr. Ste- vens Is for the ticket of Clevelan4 and Morrison. Representative Campbell, of New York, regards it as very uncertain as to whom the delezation wiil f New York | unite upon. He says it may take a candidate trom some other state. “We, of New York,” he said, “are nit so eager to have a New York candidate as to have a nan who can win. We want ademocratic Presiden and if it shall appear: that some man not of New York is stronger,why we will support him.” Mr. Campbell thinks it quite probable that the New orkers will go fora western man,with a democrat of the empire state for Vico President. He had heard McDonald and Slocum mentioned as a win- ning combination. —— THE DETECTIVE CASES, The Indictments Against Joscph Acton— A Trial Probable Next Monday. ‘This morning, in the Criminal Court (Judge Wylie), the cases of ex-Detective Joseph Acton, charged with various offenses. growing out of his receiving ten dollars for the recovery of stolen property, Were called to the attention of the court by Mr. D. E. Cahill. It was stated that the hang. ing of these indictments ovef Mr. Acton was a hardship, and operated to prevent him from getting employment, and that what he desired was a trial. ‘These cases were similar to those in which Mr. Coomes had been tried and acquitted, and he urged that Mr. Acton was entitled toa ‘The court asked how long it had been since the indictments were found. Mr. Cahill sald that these cases revolved around one $10 bill, and Mr. Acton had now been resting under the incubus for oter:a year. He had been offered employment and could have obtained it but for the fact these indictments were hanging over Mr. Taggart sald Dink tan eerie Borner aerend With him that the cases should be tried, and he understood that the C diamond case had AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY. A LITTLE BREEZE IN THE SENATE A STRUGGLE FOR PRECEDENCE OF BILLS IN THE HOUSE. ‘The Senate. After the reading of the journal the chair latd before the Senate sundry Diils recelved from the House of Representatives. Among these was the bill amending the Thurman act relating to the Pacific railroads. ‘Mr. Van Wyck desired this bill referred to the committee on railroads, rather than to the com- mittee on the judiciary. It was with some sur- rise that, he had for the first time learned from he publlc press that the Judiciary committee had regolved not to act on any bill of this kind at this session. He supposed we should express out ac- kowledgments to the press for having given the Senate this information. It would naturally be supposed that a committee of the Senate would have made its report first_to the Senate itself as to whether 1t would or would not act, and particu- larly when this conclusion had been reached after a conference with the railroad company. THE CHAIR CALLS MR. VAN WYCK TO ORDER, WHICH LEADS TO A SHARP DISCUSSION. Mr. Van Wyck having referred to the action of the House of Representatives as having been unant- tous on this bill thechair stated that the Senator was not in oyler in making such reference, and the Tule of the Senate required the Senator to take his seat and not to p unless, on motion, the Senate granted leave. Mr. Pendleton moved that the Senator be per- mitted to proceed. ‘Mr. Platt inquired what rulo of the Senate was violated by areference to the proceedings of the other House? ‘The chair said there was no written or printed Tule of the Senate on the subject any more than there was a written or printed rule requiring that no Senator ghould insult the chair or another Sen- tor. All thé rules of parilamentary decorum, the chatr added, were supposed to be In force in the nate. Mr. Platt said it was necessary, in debate, to re- fer sometimes to the other House. He did not see how a matter could be intelligently discussed in Congress without each House feferring to the ac- ton of the othe it Was now accomplished by references to what figs taken place elsewhere.” Mr. Beck inquired whether if a reference was in- advertontty made by a Senator to action by the other House of Congress {t was in the power of the chair to compel that Senator to take his seat, and refuse to hear him further, except of motion? That was a considerable power, Mr. Beck thought. - ‘The chair stated that ‘he had been specially re- minded of his failure to enforce the rules on a re- cent occasion. ‘The chair had the rule read requir- ing that @ Senator, upon being called to order, shall sit down, and not proceed except on motion. Mr. Garland read from Jefferson’s mapuel the rule prohibiting references in debate to the action of ye other House. ‘This was founded, he sald, on the principle that each House should be left to act independently for itself, and not to be influenced by statements of action of any other body. Mr. Hoar sajd the Senator’ from Nebraska (Mr, Van Wyck) Was wholly mistaken—of course unin+ tentionally—as to the action of thé Judiciary com- mittee. ‘The House. Immediately after the reading of the journal, Mr. Stockslager, of Indiana, moved that the House go into committee of the whole, for the further con- sideration of bills for the erection of public build- ings. This was opposed by members having in charge other special orders, but the bulk of the op- sition came from the friends of what is known the internal revenue Dill, and under the leader- ship of Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, succeeded in de- feating Mr. Stockslager’s motion’ by a vote of yeas 88, nays 119. At the concluston of the morning hour, during which no reports of any smportance were sub mitted, Mr. Tucker moved that the House go into committee of the whole for the consideration of bills raising revenue. Mr. Thompson (Ky.) inquired whether there was any such bill on the calendar. ie Bene replied that there was a bill reported from the committee on agriculture to encourage the cultivation of fruit, which proposed to abolish the tax on brandy distilled from fruit. ‘Mr. Tucker's motion was lost—yeas 99, nays 119. ‘The unfinished business being the bill repeal the ng tea and timber cuiture laws, an alnending the homestead laws, was then antagon- ra by Mr. Eaton (Conn.) with the electoral count The District in Congress. BILLS ACTED ON BY THE SENATE COMMITTER TO-DAY. ‘The Senate District committee ata meeting to- day directed to be favorably reported the House bill amending the act to incorporate the Mutual Fire Insurance company of the District. It auth- orizes the company to settle lapsed policies after due advertisement. ‘The House bill relating to police regulations was also ordered to be favorably reported with amend- ments. The section authorizing the Commissioners to remove snow at the oxpense of property owners, when it hag remained six hoyrs, was stricken out. In the gectfon giving the Commissioners authority to locate hack ptands, etc., the words Segoe d and newsboys” were stricken out, $0 a8 to exem) them from the provision requiring them to remain t designated stands. A section was added giving ‘the Commissioners supervision over fire and plumb- ing regulations {n completed houses. ne bill to change thé name of Uniontown to An- acostia was also ordered favorably reported. ‘The Senate bill to confirm an order of the Com- missioners to abandon and close Meridian avenue was ordered to be reported adversely. Capitol Topics. THE SUNDRY CIVIL APPROPRIATION BIL. The sundry civil bill will probably be reported to the House late this afternoon. It provides for an aggregate reduction, as compared with the bill of last year, of $2,500,000. The appropriation for publtc printing ‘Is reduced $500,000; that for the use and Maintenance of public buildings under current laws, $1,000,000; that for the survey of public lands, $125,000; and for dies, stamps, paper, ete., for the internal revenue bureau, $90,000. There will be no provision in this bill for the transfer of the coast and geological surveys, but a resolution may be offered in the House providing for a joint com- mittee of the House and Senate to investigate the matter und report for some future action. AGREEMENT ON THE SHIPPING BILL. ‘The conference committee on the shipping bill reached an agreement last night upon the basis of abandoning the House free shipping section and the Senate subsidy clause. A provision to repeal the statutes, making 1t compulsory upon steam- ship lines to carry United States malls was also agreed upon. ‘The report was being drawn, under the supervision of Senator Frye to-day, with the view of submitting 1t at the earliest moment practicable. CAMPBELL SEATED. ‘The House yesterday, by a vote of 139 to 63, de- cided the Campbell-Morey contested election case in favor of Campbell, the contestant. CONFIRMATIONS BY THE SENATE. The Senate in executive session yesterday con- firmed the following nominations: Ambrose H. Lindsay, to be postmaster at Portsmouth, Va; Commodore Thomas 8. Phelps, to be a rear adm!- ral in the navy; Capt. Ralph Chandler, to be a com- modore in the navy; Commander John A. Howell, to be a captain in the navy. A HALF MILLION FOR THE COLORED EXPOSITION. In the Senate yesterday Mr. Blair offered, by Tequest, an amendment to the sundry civil appro- ‘priation bill to provide that there shall be appro- Priated out. of any moneys tn the ~ not otherwise aj ited, $500,000 “to promote the ‘exposition of the agricuttural ang mechan Teal capabilities of the colored races of the wor to be held in the exposition building in the city Chicago, commencing in the month of November, ees."

Coleman, whom witness had known in Missouri, called upon wit- ness and advised him that he (Colgrove) was going to be indicted, and that, in the existing state of feeling, it would cost him a great deal to defend himself. Coleman vehemently urged witness to ed a lawyer and prevent the indictment, as the easiest and cheapest id out of it. Coleman urged witness to employ Cole, who, he Said, was a partner of Cook, oné of the counsel in the Star ropte cases, tO prevent the indictment. Wit- ness expressed the fear that that would look Uke indirectly bribing Cook, & government lawyer, but Coleman said Cole could settle the matter easily, and finally witness consented to employ Cole.

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION BETWEEN THE DISTRICT COM- MISSIONERS AND CONTROLLER LAWRENCE. The District Commissioners yesterday sent the following letter to Controller Lawrence: “Refer- ring to your favor of the 11th instant, concerning the payment to Mr. De Smedt of $138 by the Post Office department, you say there was no authority to pay him his usual salary due from the District while he served the Post Office department. In answer the Commissioners beg leave to say that Mr. De Smedt rendered the District the usual ser- Vice during tat period, and tere was no reason for withholding the silary specially appropriated therefor. Any service rendered to the Post Ofice department Was extra labor after the usual hours of District service was rendered. The Commission- ers did not know he received payment from the Post OMice, while that department did not know he was a salaried officer of the District. If, therefore, any payment was erroneous, the error was that of the Post OMice, and not of the Commis- stoners, and, a8 you will doubtless see, the conclu- slon you reached, that the payment of a salary so made will not be alowed, is erroncous and unjust to the Commissioners. Mr. De ee the knowledge or consent of the oners, deposited in the Treasury to their credit $138 on that account. In the opinion of the Commissioners they paid the salary properly, and there is no error on their part to be corrected, and they protest that such an imputation should hot be m: Itis not thelr affair, and the deposit should be to the credit of the Post Office account, where the error, if any exista.) They respectfully ask that they be allowed to pass the $183 to the credit of the account whence it erroneot came.” ee Pensions and Politics.
