Stoney, of the navy, who was authorized by Secretary Chandler to make fur- ther pce of the large Alaskan river dis- covered by him, expects to leave for Alaska by the first of May. The coast survey steamer Earnest has been loaned to the Navy depart- ment, and will convey the exploring party to the mouth of the river in question. The trip ue river will be de in a steam launch, which is now being built at San Francisco under Lieut. Stoney’s supervision, and which will be conveyed to Alaska on the Earnest. “RIVER axp Hansor ImrnovemeNTs—Not- withstanding the failure of Congress at the last session to make an appropriation for rivers and harbors, engineers in charge of Improvements will be able to continue their work for some time. Of the $14,000,000 appropriated at the close of the first session of the last Congress there was about $9,000,000 balance in’ the ‘Treasury in the latter part of February, This ‘appropriation was not made until July of 1884, and was not available until August. At that time but a short period remained during which work could be accomplished. A considerable Portion of the $9,000,000 will be used in con- tracts which have been made, and under which contractors will work during the coming sea- son. A sufficient sum of the money on hand to. preserve improvements until another appropri- ation is made will be reserved wherever it is possible. ‘The army engineers say that the Mis- sissippi river will be the greatest sufferer be- cause of the failure of Congress to make an ap- propriation. There was available at_ the begin- ning of the present year but about $500,000 for continuing the improvements on that river. PERSONAL.—Ex-Attorney General Brewster and Charles T. Murray, of this city, were guests at the March dinner of the Clover Club, in Phil- adelphia, last evening.—Mr. Edward C. Big- more, representing the well-known literary agency of B. F.

Hanlon, on the stuff of the governor of Call fornia, is in town, staying at the Metropolitan, — Talk Among the Politicians. HOW THEY COMFORT THEMSELVES—MR. 1I1G- GINS AND CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. The politicians are comforting themselves upon the theory that the President's delay in making appointments which it ts thought should be made at once is on account of the Senate committees not being organized so as to sider the nominations. “Nonominations other than military promo- tions were made. today, and the politicians don’ any until next week. Names sent in this week could not be acted upon,and while they were hung up, waiting the crganization of the committees,the Presidentwould besubjected to great pressure to Induce him to withdraw them and send others in their places, ‘The experienced ones say that “this wise de- lay” will haye the effect of driving away the great throng of officeseckers who could not possibly get anything, but that the changes will made coon enough—that is, as fur as the leading places are concerned. The civil service reform views of Mr. the new appointment clerk of the Treasury, are not quite conventional, but very decided,” He had just been looking over the civil servicerules when ealled upon by a STAR reporter to-day, Dut sald he was not yet perfectly familiar with them. He said, however, that he did not think that they covered every — braneh of the question, Taking a newspaper clip- ping from his’ drawer, which gave | an account of some collector of customs who hauled the U.S, flag off the custom house on the 4th of March toshow his contempt for the new President, he added: “Do you think he ought to stay? No, Welt, I don’t see any- thingin that book to cover the caxe.”” Speaking further on the subject, in a focular sort of way, he said that he had something else besides the civil service law to occupy his ate tention. He had to think more of economy and the reduction of the department toa business footing. ‘The probability is that the same policy which hasbeen followed with relation to ihe em- loyes of the White House, will operate in the Rretsury and probably other departments: The force in the Treasury purticularly will be gone over pretty thorouhly and reductions will be made wherever the force js found to be larger than necessary. Heads of bureaus and chiefs of divisions, asa rule, will be replaced by de crats before yery long. Men who have “offensively” partisan will be weeded out gradually, and of course, those who are found be ‘inefficient Under the tisanship” will Higgins, of bly come prot all whose party zeal torced them to take active tho steps in opposition to Mr. Cleveland's election;— who left thelr desks to jake part In the caine paign, or who furnished money toconduct the campaign. These offences, th any ag: d form, will likely be considered good reason for removal. Yetthe civil service law will not be disregarded, and changes will be made s and after investigation, The only ch fre likely to be at all sweeping are sui be the result of a reduction of the force. Hon. Geo. W. Julian, whose name has been mentioned in connection with the commis- sionershIp of the general land office, declines to be considered an applicant for that office, but says he will luok tou different position here- after. A District delegation. composed of Gen. Eppa Hunton, J.G. Calvert, br. W.0. Baldwin, Dan'l Shavahan,Win.Laird, jr.and others called upon the President to-day {i behalf of Mr. Thomas J. Luttrell for the office of recorder of deeds of the Distriet. ANXIOUSLY WAITING FOR NOMINATIONS TO HE SENT IX, WHIGG SO FAK HAVE NOT MATER TALIZED. Numerous applicants for appointments con- gregate inthe Senate each day and watch ea- gerly for nominations. Many of them have high hopes of seeing their names figure in a list sent to the Senate. Every day this week there has been disappointment among these men over the nonarrival of nominations, and. to- day the feeling broke out into impetous words of impatience. When the nominations reached the Senate there wasa rush for the list, Which goes to the secretary's office, and the dis: covery thut {t consisted only of a few army pro- motions, created intense discust. ——o MMY'S_ MEDICINE, JS EIGUID_ DIAMOND cx Lerrapin bedy aid Brain food will cure reat tonle wilstrenigthen and prevent diseag®. eat tone will i lung dlseaac i is vetuated VELL, Wastington agen, Boe — \4-Sin] p Orcs Suow Wixvow Was SMASHED LAST NIGHT BY THIEVES, AND THE GOODS WERE CARRIED OFF.

ENOUGH MONEY ON HAND TO CONTINUE THE “WORK UNTIL THE END OF DECEMBER NEXT, Col. P. C. Hains was asked by a Stax re- porter to-day what effect the failure to appro- priate money at the last session of Congress for continuing the improvement of the Potomac river will have upon that work. “We have enough money on hand todo lots of work this year,” was the reply; “but then we will come to astandsfill. There is between four and five hundred thgnsand dollars available from the last appropriation, but nearly every. cent of it Is tied up in contracts already entered Into. I think these contracts will be completed by the end o” the coming December, and then nothing further can be done unless Congress Kes aetion, I anticipate, however, that there will be an enormous amount of work done be- fore the end of the yeur.

HAZEN'S TRIAL. Testimony Before the Court-martial To-day. ‘The Hazen court-martial was enabled to pro- ceed this morning, arrangements having been made for the payment of the stenographic re- porter at the rates usually patd for such service. The judge advocate submitted an application from the accused for subpeenas for E. B. Wight, correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, and Ed- mund Hudson, editor of the Cupital. The judge advocate said he was not satisfied that the tes- timony of these witnesses was necessary to the ends of justice In this ease. He suggested that the counsel for the defense be required to show that this proposed testimony was mate- rial to the case, Mr. Mackey held that the rule requiring counsel to disclose tife testimony which they proposed to offer, In his view, applied only to witnesses ata distance. ‘These witnesses were in, the elty and could be easily produced. He said that it would bea novelty {n_his practice to be required to disclose the defense. He stated, however, that Mr. Wight would not be requited, They’ found that, he was not in pos- session of the Information they desired. ‘They would ask, however, to have Mr, Hudson sum- moned, as’ they regarded his testimony as ma- terlal to the detense. Gen. Hancock said that on the statement of counsel that the testimony of Mr. Hudson was material a subpoena would be issued. After reading the record up to date the judge advocate offered in evidence a copy of élie an- nual report of the Secretary of War for the year Sergeant James B, McLoughlin, of the signal corps, testified that the annual report was re- celved at the siznal office December 11, 1883. The judge advocate, to show the purpose of this testimony, called attention to the memo- randum attathed to the report, stating that the Secretary of War and ‘the Sec- retary of the Navy liad decided that it was not practicable to send another expedition to the relief of Lieut. Greely that year (1883.) Mr. Mackey objected to the introduction of this memorandum as testimony, saying that the issue here Involved the decision of the See: retary of War, and the knowledge the a had of that decision, ‘This memorandum, suld, related to a joint decision of the Secretary of Warand the Secretary of the Navy. They were not called to plead to any such averment. ‘The judge advocate maintained that, this, memorandum plainly shawed that the Secre- ary of War had decided not to send an expedi- i the concurrence of the Secretary of the wy in that decision making it none the less, a decision of the Secretary of War, so far us it concerned the chief signal officer as a subordi- nate, Mr. Mackey called attention to the fact that this memorandury was appended to the report, unsigned, and these wasothing toshow that it aa i part of the report, or had any official value. ‘Thojudge advocate called attention to a state- ment within the report referring to this append- ed_memorandun Gen. Hancock sitd if it were a question of the officiality of the memorandum, it mizht be essary to summon the adjutant general as a wit This would depend, however, upon the wdiiissions that may be made by the de- fense, ‘The court decided to admit the paper in testl- mony, As there was some question as to what point had been decided by the court Mr. Mackey Wrote out his objection to the memorandum on the ground that it purported to be the Joint de- cision of the Secretary of War and the Secre- 'Y, Whereas the accused was not having impugned such Joint de- n, but only the decision of the Secretary of cousod, he War. ‘The court, after hearing argument,considered the question in private session and decided not Wosustain the objection as formulated by Judge Macke; Capt.S, M. Mills, acting chief signal officer, was called’ and ‘identiiied a copy of thé telezram, Which was signed “Mills,” and notified Gen, Hazen that the Secretaries of War and the Navy, after patient consultation with arctic explorers, had concluded that noth- ing further in the way of relieving Greely was possible that year. Mr. Mackey said the defense would admit re- ceiving a telegram to that effect. ‘The court took a recess while Capt, Mills went after the records to prove whether Gen, Hazen Was on duty or not on the 11th of December, 1883, the date when the Secretary of War's an’ nual report was received at the office. ee ee.
