Hazen is well satisfied with the result ofhis court-martial, He ran. the risk of being court-martialed for the sake of vindicating his course with regard to the recent Arctic expedi- tions. He feels that he has done this, and the humiliation of a court-martial with its accom. panying reprimand rests lightly upon his shoul: ders in consequence, A reprimand by the Pres. ident was expected by Gen, Hazen and the pub- , butit was so delicately worded that but little was added to the original mortification of being tried by court-martial, Said an officer to ASTAR reporter to-day: “Gen. Hazen’s repri- mand is like a spanking toa naughty. boy, ac- companied with an injunction not to doso any more.” Gen, Hazen will resume his duties as chief signal ofticer,and there the matter will end, cK.

Baird, the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, was perhaps the most Surprised man in this city when he read ina morning paper that he was going to resign his Present position in order to accept a profes- sorship in Yale college. “I can’t imagine,” he sald this morning toa STAR reporter, “how sueh an article came to be written and then printed. It is, of course, en- tirely without foundation, and at the same time absurd. The two positions are not ofequal importance. They might as well have said that the President of the United States was going to resign in order to take the position of coliector of the port ot New York.

The police made a very satisfactory beginning yesterday in the work of taking the census. One officer in the fifth precinct completed two thickly populated squares during his hours of duty. Some delays now and then are caused by the unwillingness of ignorant people, who cannot understand why the information is wanted, to answer questions. One officer sald to a STAR reporter that he met most delay from inquisitive women, who cheerfully answered all the questions,’ but immediately turned upon. the officer ‘with a hundred interroga- tories as to what it all meant, and what was to be done, Chief of Police Dye said to the reporter that he believed the census would show a lange growth of population since Be an iat the present yu ion was over 200,00. From his own observation he was convinced there were constant additions to the colored population by immigration from the surrounding country.
