A Comperitive EXAMINATION to fill seven Vacaneles in the grade of cadets in the revenue marine service is being conducted at the Treas- ury department by a board composed of Capts. George R. Slicer, George W. Moore and Thos. . Lay, U.S. 1.’ M. Fifty-six candidates pre- sented themselves for examination. Four were rejected by the medical board as lacking In physical qualifications, and two more after- wards withdrew rather than undergo the men- talexamination. This leaves fifty applicants to compete tor the seven vacancies. Crviz Service BOARD CHANGES.—The civil service commission has received the resigna- tions of Messrs, Weightman und Silvis, mem- bers of the local board of examiners at the cus- tom-house in Se te The resignation of Mr, Weightman has been accepted, to take ef feet when his successor shall be appointed; but in the case of Mr. Silvis, Inasmuch as he has left the public service, his resignation was ac- cepted at once.

The number of deaths up to August 15th was Seventy-eight, READJUSTING SALARIES.—Mr. E. 0. Graves, chief of the bureau of engraving and printing, has been readjusting the salaries of that bureau 80 as to still further lessen expenses. It was found that the second-class workmen. engazeld n the revenue stamps, by reason of the ease of their work, could make more money than the men engaged on first-class work, and the Fates on second-class Work will be reduced so as to properly adjust the comparative rates of compensation. Comp arnt oF DISCRISHINATION AGAINST U. 8. VESsELs.—U.S. Consul Pace, in a disaptch to the State department, says there is much com- plaint on the part of American vessel owners and captains, at the recent appointment by a harbor master at Port Samia, by the Canadian authorities, American vessels have to pay tees ranging from $1 to $5 for the privilege of tand- Ing ata dock or anchoring iu port along the boundary between American and Canadian waters at that port, which by law and_prece- dent should be tree to ships of both nations. Consul General Pace says “the injustice of thi act becomes more apparent when we reflect that the Canadian Piao has never ex- ended a dollar to build a harbor at this int. ‘he docks are the property of privute individ: nals. * * * Canada never even bulit a light house to ence the mariners from Lake Huron to the river St. Clair.

A New Peston Decisiox.—The commis- sioner of pensions has made an important ruling in amputation cases, whege the, law has heretofore been strictly construed, giving an Increased rate of pension only to berona who have had a leg taken off at the hip joint or an arm at the shoulder joint. This decision in- cludes cases where the amputation bas peen made near the joint and not as iiterally stated in the law at the joint. The increased pension is $7.50 per month, and a large number who were wounded in this way will apply for the {u- creased peusion, providing that the decision is hot overruled by the Secretary of tne Interior. —The American consul at Cal- lao, Peru, has notified the State department that the several@suits against the estate of Charles Courtright have been decided in favor Of the detendan Courtright was an American merch av, who died sev- eral years age ig no clue to his family connections, except some letters from New York and Brooklyn from five married sisters,whose baptismul names onl; The estate amounted to $50,006 the efforts of the postinuster at e sisters were found, fiv leanwhile many el were filed a Ss have now been set aside by the court, and the tive sisters come into, possession of the deducting the expenses, RE OO ete alias Tue Fort Woxrn BANK DEraucation.— The controller of the currency has received a dispatch from examiner in charge of the City National bank, Fort Worth, Texas, stating that the defaleations of Nichols, the’ former vice president of the bank, will not exceed $30,000, and the bank is solvent.

The Judges have been telegraphed for and are expected toarrive here very-soon. They will probably prepare a defense and make a fight for the retention and Payment of their employes. It is claimed at the court that the authority given the court to organize included the authority to employ all necessary clerical assistance, and they claim that the force they have is barely sufficient to perform the work required of them, and at one time extra assistance had to be employed and they worked night and day. They say, too, that Judge Lawrence, the for- mer first ‘controller, was not ignorant of the Mmunner of the establishment and management ofthe court, and approved of {tin approving the accounts. During the six months limit be- fore it would become too late to_ file claims an extra force was necessary besides those objected toin Judge Durnam’s decision, and the court applied to .tudge Lawrence for an opinion as to the authority ot the court to employ more clerks, and he replied that the court had the authority in itself, “There were 5,750 claims ‘nally, and 1,400 of these are still to be ad- dicated.’ ‘The ‘papers in these cases fill two jarge rooms, The judyes of the court are James H.

PRIMARY ELECTION—A NEW RACE COURSE— LOCAL OPTION, ETC. Correspondence of THr EVENING STAR. GAINESVILLE, Va., August 25, 1885 At a primary election held last Saturds Prince William county, for a member of the house of delegates of Virginia, Mr. Joseph C. Reid, for some time hoiding the position of clerk of the county court, recelved a majority of the yotes cast, His competitors Were Dr. H. M. Clarkson, of Haymarket, and Dr. Powell, the incumbent. The election was a spirited’ one, and drew out the full vote ofthe county. ‘The Yoting place of the citizens of this village was Haymarket, where the vote cast was 122, out of which Dr. Clarkson received 116, thus {ndi- eating his popularity in that portion of the county where he resides. ‘The nomination of Mx, Reld is equivalent to his election, as the county is decidedly democratic, and’ unani- mously favors the election of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee for govemor and Hon. John S. Barbour for United States Senator to succeed Muhone.

His Dublin Speeches Arousing Wide- pread Interest in England—His Party Preparing for the Final Straggle for Ireland's Legisiative Independence. Special Cable Dispatch to the EVENINe STAR Loxpox, August 27.—Parnell’s speeches at the banquet and conference in Dublin on Tues- day have made a profound impression, not so much because they contained any new doctrine as because they made definite, uncompromising, final statements, He has now stated exactly what he wants and what he intends to doin order to get it, This summarised is the pre- vention of British legislation till Ireland gets “legislative independence.” This phrase has now superceded “home rule.” ‘Then he de- mands the settlement of the land question ac- cording to the national league program, and the restoration of prosperity to the towns by high and especially anti-English _protec- tion, “It is not now @ question,” said he, “whether Irish people will de cide their own destinies and their own future, but it is a question whether our English masters—I am affaid we cannot call them mas- ters any longer—Itis a question with them how far off the day they consider so evil shall be deferred,” His last words, which were received with the greatest enthusiasm, were: "I teel assured that the Irish party will be assembletl in such strength and under such conditions in Ireland and In Westminster as will Jasure that it shall be the last Irish party in Engiand and the first in the restored Irish parliament.” It is certain this wish is father to the thought here, but Parnell’s confident, triumphant tond is causing this final Irish problem to be faced with at interest. speech since Monday has dealt largely with this question. The Standard says Parnell is not ashamed to wear the honors that the moonlighters won. The sha dip re speaks of these persons calmiy plotting the de- struction of the British empire, ‘The News (lib- eral) has not yet received the official tip, and therefore only talks chaff. The leading Irish papers say Parnell’s words will send a thrill of Supreme joy throughout the heart of Ircland. rhe resolutions adopted at the conference pledge the whole party in the next parliament to vote asa unit, and candidat ist give a written promise to resign if they fail to do so, The next struggle, therefore, will be the final one.

CHARLESTON, S.C.,August 27.—As hasalready been stated, the climax of the cyclone reached the city about 8 o'clock. Up to that time there had been considerable damage done, but it had been distributed over a large portion of the city, and consisted chiefly in the unroofing of houses and blowing down of fences and trees.
