INVESTIGATING NEWARK’S PoSTMASTER— Some time ago charges were forwarded to the P.O. department that Gen. Wm. Ward, post- master of Newark, N, J., had permitted the employment of carriérs for political purposes atthe last general election.

Y.—The Senate failed to act on the nomina- tion of James B. Corcoran, who was nominated to be postmaster at Rome, New York, and yes- terday the President suspended the present in- cumbent and designated Mr. Corcoran to act. The reason for this action was based upon a re- port made by a post office inspector that great confusion existed in the money order division of the office anda deficiency in the accounts, The postmaster claimed that his assistant had entire charge of the money order business, and he knew nothing about it. The President, ina letter to the Postmaster General, authorlziny the change in this office, states that the pos master was responsible, not the assistant, and that he would try to rid the public service of all officials who exhibit such loose fdeas of their duty to the government.

See eu gem THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE DOL- PHIN. Secretary Whitney Appoints » Board of Examiners to Look into it— Another Letter to Mr. John Roach. Secretary Whitney to-day issued the follow- ing: “For the purpose of Informing myself as far as possible of the facts necessary to the determination of the matter involved in the ‘seceptance of the Dolphin I hereby designate Captain George E. Belknap and Commander Robley D. Evans to act with Mr. Henry Win- ter, of New York, as a board of examination to investigate and report tome: Whether she has been constructed in accordance with the terms of the contract; in view of the necessary limi- tations upon any investigation of a completed ship to report specifically what matters the; are able to determine and how they. determing them; and what matters are impossible of de- termination except as the work is going on.” In this connection the following letter has been sent by Secretary Whitney to Rear Admiral Simpson, president of the naval dvisory board: “After examining the contract and laws relating to the construction of the Dolphin Iam of fhe opinion that the act per- formed by me in passing upon the final pa; ment and plans isnotaformal act, but one with reference to which I seem to have respon- sibility. I have neither the time nor the expert knowledge with which to possess myself of the necessary information upon which to base a Judgment, and while if I had been present in the department during the construction of the vessel, Ishould doubtless be possessed of maturedopinion and judgment upon the subject under the present circumstances that is quite impossible. In view of the fact that my formal act is required in addition tothe actof the adv! ory board, itis quite evidentit was not intended that I'should rely solely upon the action of the advisory board in this matter; otherwise theac- tlon of the Secretary would not be required. I have consequently decided to designate three persons who have not been connected with the construction, for the purpose of assisting me in the dischargeof the duty which, without such ald, it 1s quite impossible for me to perform. desire to notify your board of my action, that it may not be construed to arise from any'sinten- tion to reflect upon the correctness of the con- clusions to which the advisory board has come.” ‘The Secretary has also addressed the follow- ingcommunication to Mr, John Roach: “T have your letter of April 4th, stating that ‘the Insurance of $285,000 on the Dolphin ex: pires on the th instant, and cannot be renewed for less than thirty days, as the companies will not issue policies for a shorter period. Do you wish me to renew it?” In answer to which I would say that I have no request to make with reference to it, except that until the steamshi 1s accepted the contract provides that you shall keep her insured, which would seem to deter- mine the matter. "I have no answer from you to my communication of March 20th, in which I suggest that another trial trip of’ the Dol- phin be held for the purpage of assisting in the determination of certain matters referred to.” Capt. Belknap, who is the president of the board appointed to examine the Dolphin, is the highest in rank of the captains.

THE PRESIDENTS STRICT ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL SERVICE REFORM—HOW IT IS MET BY TWO CLASSES OF DEMOCRATS. ‘The number of applications to the civil ser vic} commission for examination has greatly increased since it has become apparent that the “barbed wire fence,” as Judge Thoman calls it, isnot tobe let down. The President sends all the applications “ for recognition” that come to him to the civil service commission, and they are answered by sending to the aspirants for office a blank form of the application for exam- ination under the civil service rules. The ap- plications that come to the departments are disposed of in, the same way, where they come under the civil service classification, This bas atly discouraged the office seekers, an Hearly all who were hanging about the depart- ments, expecting to get appointments through political influence, have gone home disgusi although many have sent in applications for civil service examination, ‘This uncompromising ition of civil service principles by the administration arouses the indignation of the politicians, who say that if it 1s continued the party will go to pieces, sure. ‘A very conservative democratic member of Congress said to a STAR reporter to-day that there was a volcano ready to burst and blow the party all to. pieces if there was not some change in the policy with relation to the offices. ‘The politicians generally are getting very close mouthed, but the feeling {s ranning very deep and bitter. There are many good democrats, however, who approve the President’s course, and eay that the malcontents will see It in the same light after awhile. Ex-Representative Van‘ Alstyne, of New York, arrived in the city yesterday, on his way to California to see his son, and called to see the President about noon, He says that Mr. Cleve- land’s policy Is very well received in New York, and it is thought that he has made no mistake: ‘The most grumbling Is over the appointment of Pearson, und that was received with much reater Satisfaction In the state than is general- ff supposed, A majority of those who are kick- ing over the appointment are those who were opposed to Cleveland and did nothing for bis election.

St a The River Flats Improvement. COL. HAINS REPORTS PROGRESS—WHAT WILE. BE DONE IN APRIL. Col. P. C. Hains, in his report to the chief of engineers of the operations for improving the Potomac river during March, says that owing tothe extraordinary severity of the weather, Progress was greatly retarded in dredging the Washington channel. Section III, by Benson & MeNee, hydraulic dredge No. 1, got to work on 5th March, but only succeeded in making 76 engine hours during the month. About ten days were lost by the breakage of the upper section of the Coes suction wipe. This has been repaired, and the machine is now doing good work. In 76 hours it excavated and de- posited on the flats 11,000 cubic yards of mate- rial, an average of 144 7-10 cuble yards per engine hour. The second hydraulic dredge was ut on the jeer ys channel work on 6th larch. She made 63 engine hours, excavating and depositing 12, cubic yards, an average of 190 5-10 cubic yards per hour. Both dredges were retarded by the "frequeney in encountering snags, san ae ood be Seppo ye Syn cay ity to do. work as n fairly dem- onstrated.

Dr. Shrady referred in pleasant manner to the general's then condition as compared with a week ago. ‘Whereupon Gen. Grant, who had talked freely during the day, sald: “My chances of pulling through this are one ina hundred, Ihave no doubt, but sometimes Ido feel that I shall get better. I think ifI have another strangling spell I shall go off very quickly, and if you doctors can tell how long @ man can live under water when he is drowning, then I think Ican form some idea of what time I shall have to live when that next strangling comes on, if it does come on.

The lad held in his hand two notes, one addressed to Dr. H. B. Sands and the other to Dr. George F. Shrady. A few minutes after another messenger boy rushed out of the Grant residence, bearing notes for Senator Chaffee, Gen, and Parson Newman. Gen.

At8:30 a.m. the following bulletin, signed by Drs. Douglas and Shrady, was issned: “Gen. Grant is quietly sleeping. ’ The hemorrhage re- mains arrested. It has made no marked lin- pression on the pulse.” The 9:30 bulletin said: “Gen. Grant_has just awakened. His pulse is the same. No return of the hemorrhage.” No Perceptible Increase of Weakness. The hemorrhage in Gen. Grant's throat this morning was the accident that had been feared by those nearest to the patient. The immedi- ate result was not strangulation, as had been anticipated by those in attendance and by the general himselt. Just how serious the result ‘Would be on the general condition of the pa- ent could not be foretold early in the m ing, but at 8:30 a. m. there was no percept increase of debility or weakness caused by loss of blood. Ne Immediate Danger Anticipated. At 8:30 Gen. Grant, under the Influence of morphia, was sleeping in a sitting posture. Drs, Douglas and Shrady were present. The hemor- Thage in the general's throat ceazed naturally and without any styptic application. It is, of course, possible that acrisis may occur to-day, but the probability of such a turn during the daslight ig scarcely entertained among those best posted as to the general's condition, Sgna- tor Chaffee’s opinion this morning Is that Gen, Grant may not die during the day, and such the opinion of well posted persons'who have no incentive or bent, to be alarmists, though all hold themselves in readiness for any critical developments. The Hemorrhage from an Artery. ‘The hemorrhage this morning in Gen. Grant's throat was arterial and not venous blood. The general seems not at all alarmed, and the fam lly was not very greatly frightened. The hemor- Thage was due somewhat to the increase of the disease, and was Induced by a momentary ft of coughing. The probabilities are that he may survive the day. ‘The General Firm and His Mind Clear. New York, April 7,11 a.m.—Gen. Granv’s condition remains unthanged.
