The case of the Baltimore post. office is still under advise- ment, and Postmaster General Vilas said to-day that there was nothing new in connection with e case, THE SECOND TRIAL OF THE DoLPHIN.—Mr. John Roach had two conferences with the Sec- retary ofthe Navy yesterday with regard to the Dolphin, and it was finally agreed that the ves- sel should make second trial trip. Accordingly Seeretary Whitney, yesterday afternoon, ad- dressed the following letter to Capt. Belknap, the president of the vourd appointed to exam: ine the Dolphin: “I have been called “1pon to- day by Mr. Roach. I have assented that the trial trip shall take place in the sound instead Of at sea, the advisory board to be present, but the directions to be given by your board.

MR. Jxo. T. FoRD AS INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTOR OF THE THIRD MARYLAND Dis- TRICT.—A rumor was very current in Baltimore Yesterday that Mr. Ford was appointed internal Tevenue collector, and it surprised him, as he had no idea of being an applicant for thé place. He was very generally congratulated, and his neighbors were volunteering to bond for him. He assured them, however, he had had no intk- mation, except through the rumor, of his being considered for the place. It 1s evident, however, from the manifestation that the’ appoint ment would be, if made, a very acceptable one fo the ‘best business and political elements of e clty. Wy Mr. Nimo Was REQUESTED TO RE- 8IGN.—Joseph Nimmo, jr., chief of the bureau of statistics, has resigned at the request of Secre- tary Manning, and Wm. F. Switzler, of Mis sourl, who was the other day appointed to suc- ceed ¥: N. Whitney as chief clerk, will be made chief of the bureau, and Mr. Whitney restored to the position of chief clerk. Until last Friday Secretary Manning had determined to retain Mr. Nimmo, a number of the Secretary's friends having advised him todoso. But after he had requested the statistician to remain, some one called his attention to a document Written by Mr. Nimmo, with the caption, “The Protection of our enormous Commercial and Industrial Institutions. Shall the care of these interests be Remitted the Bourbon Democ- racy of theSolid South‘ This Secretary Man- ning thought to be sufficient cause for removal. ARMY ORDERS—Captain John C.

A RumoreD DisaAGREEMENT BETWEEN OUR COMMANDERS ON THE IsTHMUS.— Private letters have been received here from Panama ving rise to rumors of a misunderstanding tween Admiral Jouett, the commander of the north Atlantic squadron, and Commander B. H. McCalla, who went in ‘to the isthmus in charge of the fand forces, It is supposed there was aclash of authority, Secretary Whitney, upon being asked about the matter yesterday, replied that he had heard nothing of it, and it it were true he thought it would prove of little importance. Both were men of very positive character, and they might have disagreed in their judgment. Frest Lieut. JouN MCCLELLAX, 5th artil- lery, has been granted three months’ leave, and Second Lieut.

The commissioner of agricultureis preparing a cir- colar inviting the state agricultural colleges of the country to send delegates to @ convention to be held here during the summer to consider the best methods of promoting agricultural education.

The Brass Band Method Dropped in Favor of Quieter Tactics—The Present Situation Summed up. The activity among the District politicians Just now in regard to the filling of the offices, is not of the brass band order. The time for delegations and the circulation ot petitions, which marked the early weeks of the present administration, seems to have passed, and al- though an occasional delegation may visit one of the departments or the White House, on the surface District polities seems to be as calm and restful as if there were no offices to fill and no anxious throng of applicants. The candidates for the offices and their friends seem to think the deliberation and caution displayed by the President, the proper course to pursue, or at least no harsh criticisms are heard. The office- seekers are neither pitching into each other or into the President, and they are uwaiting the turn of the wheel or the casting of the die with a cheerful serenity, that to say the least is un- usual when the Interests of men are involved. One of the leading men in District matters thus summed up the present situation to a STAR re- ir. ‘You express surprise that, there is not more stirand exeitement among the District people over the District offices. It Is very casily under- stood. The first rush is over, but still there is a great deal of work going on. Men who rushed upon the President before he had fairly got Into the White House probably had few, If any, claims to recognition. ‘Thé President’ has hi other matters to attend to, and besides an- nounced his intention of ‘going slowly in making District appointments, I suppose that means he wants to know about the men. The brass band business doesn’t throw much lighton the character and fitness of an applicant for office, and thishas been generally appreciated, and s0 you see the excitement and stir has disappeared, Still it is only on the sur- face. ‘The President must be posted about the different men, and it is important to approach him in the proper way, and this is the Kind of Fork that is now being done, | The opportunity is now being improved of bringing to the Presi- dent's attention the claims of the various can- didates, and it fs the beliet that all this will have some welght. Of course, what is known as the outside intluence—I mean the politicians from the various states—is being utilized either at the suggestion of candidates who happen to be on friendly terms with them or because they want to secure some of the District patronage to strengthen themselves.” *-After all,” he continued, “the main points of interest io District people are the Distrlet Com- missionerships, although I believe that District men will be appointed to fill the other offices. ‘The present system of government has been @ stieeess in spite of the men who have been Com- ssioners, and now the people of the District want tosee what the system would be when run by men who are acquainted with the needs and interests of the District.” Some of the politicians are of the opinion that the appointment of Judge Merrick was not In accordance with the policy of District men for District offices, but others say that it was never contemplated ‘that the judiciary should come within the scope of that rule. In fact, they say, that perhaps it is better to have judges who have not been residents here. With this excep- tion, the President has given no indication What course he will adopt In making selections for the District oftices, but there seems to be a well grounded belief that the new appointees will be District m ——— 1°. ___ Party Pressure on President, ‘RATIC STALWARTS IN WASHINGTON— ADMINISTRATI OVING TOO SLOW FOR THEM—THEIR EFFORTS TO BRING ABOUT WHOLESALE CHANGES IN THE PUBLIC SER- VICE, The city 1s full of democratic stalwarts, who are here for the purpose of carrying the admin- istration by assault, A number of close- mouthed men have remained here since the adjournment of Congress and have been work- ing on the administration quietly but steadily to bring about the policy they think will result in most party advantage. They have laid siege and have not yet raised it. They won't say anything about theadministration publicly, but whenever they call on the President or meet a cabinet officer they denounce the tardi- ness of the administration, and tell them that it the “rascals” are not turned out and the democratic workers given recognition the democracy wili go to pieces. These men, as a Tule, ask for no appointments for themselves or their friends, but merely demand that the party be recognized, ‘The throng of mere office-seekers haye been frightened off and an entirely different class of politicians have been coming in within the last tow lays. | They have not come to ask any- thing, but their purpose is to take the adminis- tration up in their arms and take care of it. They have an idea that itis entirely too inno- cent to be left without a guardian, and they have come to act in that capacity. They want to tell the President just what the exigencies of the are, and to say that the politicians who speak pacifically or in praise of the new policy of “exaggerated civil service reform” are not sincere in thelr expressions and are merely fawning after favor. They claim to represent the real feeling of the rank and file of the party, and pronounce it as positive that the voters will not submit to the retention of men in power under the democratic administration, who, under the republican, were denounced as dis- honest, These advisers claim toa position above rsonal interest, and say their only wish is hat the President shall not ignore his party in- terests altogether, ‘They are politicians hold- ing themselves above the office-seeking class, and claim that their purpose is solely to “work out the salvation of the party.” To them the denunciation of the administration by Senator Bustis was a necessary blow, and, though from rsonal point of view impolitic, a blow that will have its effect in opening the eyes of the “powers that be” to the real condition of affairs. Considerable significance is attached to a con- ference which occurred between Mr, Randall, Chairman Barnum and Secretary’ Manning Monday, during which Appointment Clerk Hig- gins was sent for and consulted. Politicians say hat the effort is being made to reach Cleveland through Manning, in whose political sagacity they have the utmost confidence, and that the conference was for that purpose. The general question of party recognition was discussed, and the necessity of correcting the impression that the democrats are to form no part of this administration, which they say is widespread, was urged, The impression is now that these men will have more success in moving the President than the advance guard of politicians did, and that many changes are to be made very soon, ees eee The Potomac Water Power. GEN. BUTLER IN BEHALF OF THE GREAT FALIS COMPANY ASKS FOR AN INJUNCTION TO STOP THE BUILDING OF THE DAM OF THE WATER WORKS, Hon. George M. Robeson and Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, accompanied by Mr. O. D. Marrett, of this city, appeared in the United States Circuit Court at Baltimore yesterday, asking an injune- tion on behalf of the Great Falls Manufacturing company, of Virginia, against Augustus H. Gar- land, Attorney General of the United States; Willfam C. Endicott, Secretary of War; Garrett J. Lydecker, major of engineers of the United States army,and George B. Chittenden and Samuel H. Cliittenden, contractors for the bulld- ing of adam across Conn’s Island and across the Virginia channel of the Potomac river to the Virginia shore, and other structures in- tended to supply the city of Washington with water. The bill of complaint, which covers twenty printed , alleges in Substance that the Great Falls Manufacturing company is pos- sessed of Conn’s Island, in the Potomac river, and of certain lands and water rights pertain: ing thereto, extending about halfa mile up and down the river from the Great Falls of the Potomac, and of the Toulson tract, con- taining ‘about one thousand acres, with all the easements, rights of water, use, navi- gation, fisheries and _ privileges ining thereto. This land, it is alleged, would have long since been taken up and used by the com- nny for manufacturing purposes, to the great Income, profit and advantage of the company had it not been for the unauthorized, unlawtul and oppressive act of the officers, or persons claiming to be officers, of the United States, and claiming to act under its authority, who intruded themselves upon the lands of the com- pany and diverted large quantities of the Waters away from the company’s lands for the ar) of supply in 'y asi ay BILh water, so that the company and ellatios persons were prevent om ip using the water power of the uncer- tainty as to how much water would be diverted, and because of the doubts thrown on the title of the company by the intrusion. ‘The bill is signed by Gen. Benjamin F. Butler as president. ‘The court passed an order for the defendants to show cause, by May 27,why an injunction should not issue. peace DEATH OF AN EMINENT PuysIcran.—Dr. W.

Papers Read at the National Museam— The “Boss” Clam of North America— Proceedings of the Society. At the afternoon session .of the American Fisheries Society, at the National Museum yes- terday, a number of papers were read. Prof. R. E. C. Stearns read an interesting account of the giant clam of Puget Sound, and the manner of catching this monstrous bivalve. He exhibited one small specimen, which measured about one footin length. After giving its scientific and Indian names Prof. Stearns remarked that It was “the boss clam of North America.” The Tange of distribution of this clam along the Pa- cifle coast, he said, was quite extensive, though it was apparently more abundant towards the north. Its excellence as an article of food, he said, was attested by all who had tasted it, and it had a place in the first rank in the opinion of epicures. Three persons, he said, were required to remove one from its bed without mutilation. They were known to reach a weight of 16 Ibs. Mr, Fred Mather read a paper by Dr. James A. nshall on the “Hibernation of the Black Bass.” The writer sad hibernation did not neces- sarilyimplyastate of profound torpidity. The fact that while black bass hibernated other fishes were active in the same waters, he accounted foron the ground that there was no supply of food for the hibernating fish. In the extreme south where crawfish were abundant in the waters the bass did riot hibernate. His con- clusions were that the hibernation of bass was | influenced more by the food supply than bj temperature, and that both species of blac! bass hibernate in the northern waters of America. Mr. Goode was unwilling to accept Dr. Hen- shall’s conclusions without experiment. He held that hibernation depended entirely upon the depth of water and the presence of warm spots in the water. He thought the effect. of food supply was rather exaggerated by Dr.Henshall. Mr. Fred. Mather read a paper giving an in- teresting account of successful experiments made by him this spring on Long Island in hatehing smelt, in which the conditions usual! required in fish hatching were almost reversed. Mr. Fred’k W. True gave a verbal description of the porpoise fishery off Cape Hatteras, where the porpolse are captured, which are used now for food, as well as for oil and leather, PROCEEDINGS TO-DAY. When the society met this morning Mr. Mather, from the committee appointed yester- day to revise the constitution, submitted its report. The proposed new constitution retains the name the American Fisheries Association adopted last year. The object is stated to be to promote the cause of fish culture; to gather and diffuse information bearing upon practical fish culture and all matters relating to it, and unite the interests of tish culture.

A WORD PICTURE OF THE MINING SETTLE- MENT—THE JOURNEY FROM CHIHUAHUA—A TALK WITH MR, R, P, MORSELL. Mr. R. P. Morsell, who has Just returned from Mexico, where he has been for four years with ex-Gov. Shepherd, speaks very enthusiastically | of the mining life out there. He says they are getting out lots of silver but it takes hard work | to get it, and the expense is very heavy. There | are about two thousand inhabitants, twenty- | five or thirty of whom are Americans, at Ba- | topilas, where the plant of the Consolidated Mining company, of which Mr. Shepherd is president, is located. All the machinery and equipment for reducing the ore to bars of pure er Is at the company’s hacienda, and all the crude ore is brought there on mule back from the mines controlled by the Consolidated com- pany, and from those of the two other com- panics, who have no machinery, and have to Pay a per centage to have their metal worked out. Some of the ore has to be taken for about three miles on mule back to the machinery. Hesays they work the mines by drilling and tun- neling. From the tunnels they work upwards and knock out the silver ore, some times strik- ing large nuggets ofsolid silver. They reduce the ore to silverbars by means of the most approved methods, producing, he says, from fifty to a hundred’ bars per month, worth a thousand dollars. This they ship with a strong escort to the market. He thinks the work is paying, though the expense is great. The country out there, he says, has very much improved, and the means of transportation will be made easier. The mines are worked by Mexican laborers, who work very satisfactorily during certain seagens. But this is the fruit season, and they don’t care to work when they can live on lus- cious fruits. The “Petahaya” is ripe all through the mountains, and the “Peons,” as the labor- ing classes are called, are roaming through the woods to gather it. All the natives, he says, are very courteous and respectful to Americans. In sending out the silver bars there has to be an armed guard for defense against bandittl, but they have never yet had any trouble, the banditti alw: ting American property. The upper class of the natives dress and act very much as the Americans do, only they are much more marked in the politeness of their bearing. The Peons are very much like negroes in disposition and manners, and are very civil and easily managed, They'live In brush huts with palm roofs, plastered over with mud, and with nothing but the earth for floor. The Americans of Gov. Shepherd's party, be says, have most of the home comforts. Their log houses were nicely fitted out, and Mrs. Shepherd had her piano, which it cost $1,000 to carry from Chihuahua, thirty natives having to divide it up between ‘them and carry it on their backs. The store, too, manages to secure Many of the things to be had at stores here at Washington, and furnishes the men with beer at from 75 cents toa dollar per bottle, and smoking tobacco at $5 per pound. The natives } do not indulge so much in expensive beer, as they find more fire to the mouthful in. their pulque and mecal. The party returning to this country were Mrs. A. K. Shepherd, Miss May Shepherd, Miss Sue Shepherd, Misses Grace and Belle Shepherd, Mrs. RK. F.’ Morsell, Miss Belle Ford, John MM. Young, T. K. Morseil and R. P. Morsell, in charge of Capt. J.C. White, the conductor. They had with them about eight bars of silver, worth a thousand dollars to the bar. Their journey, Mr. Morvell. says, was unevent- ful, though their mode of travel for the first urt of thelr journey would seem quite novel ere. Abouteight days of the journey was on mule-back over the steep and “ru; moun- tains, each having a saddle-mule, while the trunks and luggage was strapped on the pack animals. ‘The trip was far from a saie one, Mr. Morsell says, for besides the dangerous moun- tain paths there was the fear of bandittl, par- ‘cularly as there were ladies along who might have m tempting to the Mexican outlaws to hold for ransom. But though they traveled well armed for any emer- genes, none arose. For eight days they traveled through the mountains, s:opping for rest at the “stations,” which are log huts erected some ten or twelve ‘hours apart, and one day, while crossing the “Maca,” a level plain on top of the mountains, twenty miles long, there was @ constant cold rain, which wet all the men through to the skin, as they had togive up their "| ape Jadics. ‘Their journey lay wth Petabaya oaks and lofty pines ntain. The whole region lure, and beautiful with flowers hes were already an inch in diameter. Their route lay from Almeta to Ta- canaca, and thence to Wacana, where the! struck the first tle of the Mexican Central rail- road. All along thelr route were here and there Uttle crosses planted in the ground to indicate that persons murdered by road robbers lay be- neath shem. The Late Maj. Gen. McDowell. Maj. Gen.
