No selections were made for customs collectors at Norfolk, Petersburg and Newport News nor for postmasters at Norfolk, Portsmouth and Farm- ville. It is understood that the delegation de- cided to urge a thorough reorgai ation of the ement of the Norfolk navy yard. In the meetings which the Virginia delega- tion have held here during the last several ays the political situation in that state has been discussed. The question of the distribu- tion of federal patronage and its influence upon the election next fall recetved duc atten- tion, and there was decided unanimity of opin: fon that the friends and adherents of Senator Mahone ought not to be permitted to retain power in Virginia. The democrats charge that Mahone has employed the federal patronage bestowed upon hins solely to strengthen his po- litical hold upon the state, It is charged that revenue and customs officials and postmasters have been the organizers and leaders of Ma- hone’s party all over the state, and the atten- tion of the administration has been called to this matter. ‘The Virginia democrats have had assurance that federal officials will not be per- Initted to use thelr Places and. power for par- tisan purposes, and it {s understood that wit ashort time those who have done 60 in that state will be replaced by new men. oo A Bripe WitH AN IscomE oF $1,000 PER Davo Sitins Mary Pucker, the only durviving child of the late Judge Asa Packer, was mar ried at Mauch Chunk, Pa, Wednesday, to Charles H.

Demoeratic Chances of Getting Control of That Body—Senators Whose Terms Expire During the Next Two Years. ‘The refusal or neglect of the Senate to act Upon some of the pending nominations at the Tecent special session, has created in the minds of democrats generally a suspicion that the ma- Jority of that body is disposed to use its power to keep republican incumbents in office. In view of a possible conflict between the admin- istration and the Senate over appointments, the question of democratic control of that body two years hence becomes very important to the party. On the 3d of March, 1887, the terms of twenty-five Senators—sixteen republicans and nine democrats—will expire. The republi- cans who go out then are: Messrs. Miller, of California; Hawley, Harrison, Hale, Dawes, Conger, McMillan, Van Wyck, Sewell, Miller, of New York; Sherman, Mitchell, Aldrich, Ed- munds, Mahone, and Sawyer, ‘The outgoing democratic Senators two years hence are Messrs. Gray, Jones, of Florida, Gor man, George, Cockrell, Fair, Jackson, Maxey and Camden.’ There are at present two vacan- cles in the Senate, both on the republican side. One of these will’be filled next winter by ap- pointment of the republican governor of Ore- n. The other. vacancy, growing out of the leadlock in Illinois, may be filled either by a republican ora democrat. But, assuming that republicans are sent from both Illinois and Oregon, and counting Senator Riddieberger asa republican, the Senate will stand next winter 42 republicans to 34 democrats. In order to get control of the Senate, the dem- gerats would have to carry fourteen of the twenty-five seats to be filled. by the elections for 1887. That is, they would have to hold the nine seats which are to be vacated by dem- ocrats and gain five from the other side, There is only one state on the democratic list’ which is doubtful. That is Nevada, the other cight, yiz: Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginla, are almost sure to elect democratic Senators and in political circles itis generally beliew that Senator Fair has a very sure thing on his reelection. The democrats are confident of electing successors to Messrs. Mahone and Har- rison. Virginia is now democratic, and the democrats havea big advantage in'the num- ber of their state senators who hold over for the senatorial election, in Indiana two years hence. Besides they have redistricted the state to their advantage. According these two seats to the ‘democrats,’ they would _have to gain but three more, and they would have fighting chances 1h California, Co: necticut, New Jersey, New York, and’ Ohio. Of the outgoing republicans in 1887, the states of Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Ver. mont, and Wisconsin are counted upon as safe fo return republicans, but democrats, claim that they will have good prospects of a Senator in Wisconsin, By way of recapituldtion the situation might be stated as follows: Deducting the twenty- five retiring Senators—sixteen republicans and nine democrats—the remaining two-thirds of the body would stand 26 republicans to25dem- ocrats, As 39 is just a majority, the republicans would have to get 13 and the democrats would have to carry 14 of the 25 senatorial elections. Present political conditions indicate eleven of the states In which elections will occur as quite surely democratic, and nine as republica! ‘The democrats calculate that the very ‘fact of their having the administration with Its influence and patronage will aid them very materially to obtain control of the Senate. In addition to the estimates of chances above miade the democrats have not abandoned hope ofgetting a Senator from Tilinois, and they hope to carry the next legislature ‘In Oregon, owing to the republican divisions there, whieh, because of the failure of the last legislature to elect, will choose a successor to Senator Slater. coe ‘The Tragedy at the “Y. THE TRIAL OF JOHN SULLIVAN, THE SIGNAL MAN. Yesterday, in the Criminal Court, the case of John Sullivan, indicted for manslaughter, in causing the death of Michael J. Riley, on the night of July 12th, 1884, in the collision be- tween locomotives 7 and 12, Baltimore and Ohio railroad, at the Y connection, in this city, was continued after ‘Tite Stan's report closed. Anthopy J. Mossburz, the conductor of the western train upon which Riley was engineer, testifled that his train was nineteen minutes late. He received no orders that night to look out for the Baltimore train, v. J. Crockett, depot master, testlfied to Sul- correctness in signaling; he went on duty at 6 p.m. and remained till'6 a.m. On cross-examination the witness said that Sullivan could not see the siznal at the signal tower when standing at his watch box, but would have to leave it and come down toI street, a distance of fifty feet to recelve the sig- nal.

THE PRESIDENT REQUESTED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES—THE REASONS WHY, AS STATED BY DEMOCRATS FROM THE TERRITORIES. ‘The President has been earnestly requested. to make some changes in the officials of the several territories. There are in the city demo- crats of prominence from the different territo- ries, and with one voice they ask forthe re- moval of some of the men holding office by commission of past administrations. It is alleged that the policy which obtained In the st of giving oul territorial offices as a reward for partisan service has placed some very in- competent and unsavory men in power in the territories. As a general thing, it is claimed that the judici: of the territories needs re- organizing. The laws relating to the ypoint- ment of officers for the territories provide that they shall hold office for four years and until thelr respective successors are appointed and ualified, “unless sooner removed by tie Presi- lent.” Under this clause it is claimed that the President's authority to make removals when- ever he sees fit cannot be called into question. In some cases definite charges have been made against territorial officials. The President and members of his cabinet have been advised of numerous Instances in which the incompetency of territorial officials was made manifest. So far as the administration has indicated any polley with regard to the selection of officers for the territories, it has been that bona fide resi- dents will be given the preference over out- siders; that strangers will not be sent to govern the people of the territories. It is understood to be the intention of the President to give these pernle @ voice in the selection of their of- ficials, yea Havel uy tae Meandae anal wot ‘apply 0 Judicial appointments. All’ the other officials practically hold their places subject to the will of the President. But, in cases where incompe- tency is shown, or where charges are sustained, the President ‘can, it is asserted, suspend the incumbent and appoint somebody to the place, There is a vacancy now existing in the judiciary of New Mexich, which, it is aid, will be filled shortly.

Health Inspector Bohrer testified that a side of veal, which was bought from. the defendant, had been blown. Witness said he had found blown meat in the defendant's place before and had warned him. The judge said the law did not, intend to reach this class of cases sim, ause wwe the meat a fal ance, but because It was likely to be. blown by an unsound breath, thus tainting the meat and propagating dafgerous diseases. Health In- spector Dr. Makle testified that blowing the meat affected it as the court had said. He said that he had found blown veal in the defendant's place. The defendant said he had given his men orders not to blow the meat. "The court told him that he must be more careful and not be so ambitious to make his meat look There were two changes against him,and he was fined $5 in each ease. ——$-—__ ‘The War Excitement in England.
