Anold soldier went to the third auditor's office to-day to collecta claim he had against the United States government, and made things lively by the expression of his feelings when he found the government wouldn't pay promptly on sight, He could understand how the repub- lican “rascals” would keep him out of bis money, but now that the democrats were in power he looked for prompt payment, and s! nified his intention to “dun” them until pal orifneed be bring the department before & magistrate.

Major Lydecker, in his monthly report to the chief of engineers, on the extension of the ‘Washington water supply during August, states that the work on the dam at Great Falls was interfered with by the heavy storms, and the cribs and coffer-dams which were partially completed were washed away and thelr re- placement was delayed by high water. ‘The coffer-dam, across the gap hus been” com- leted. All during ptember the la; Ing of coping on the old dam will be continued and the old masonry work will be carried on between Conn’s Island and the Virginia channel dams, The work on the tunnel progressed as usual, and the excavation will be continued. The work of lining, how- ever, has been stopped, as its continuance would exhaust the appropriation and prevent driving the headings. Work was pushed on all parts of the reservoir, the conduit construction being carried on’ under the modified plan. ‘The work for preventing the en- trance of canal water into the river just above the aqueduct inlet has been finished, ‘he work comprised the construction of a new discharge weir of masonry below the inlet and filling up the old one, and the two overtiow weirs ubove the Inlet. As now arranged no water can now pass into the river from the canal for a distance of two miles above the in- let tothe aqueduct. ‘The work required care and time to prevent interference with canal navigation. +—_—__+es______ ‘The Campaigu in Virginia.

John Schuyler Crosby, who was First Assistant Postmaster General under the last administration and who had Just come from a visit under the same roof with Mr. Blaine, with whom he has long been on personal friendly relations, said to a STAR reporter the other day: “I saw a good deal of Mr. Blaine this summer and found ‘hita in better health, than for the t five years, He is strong and hearty, and is presidential defeat nad no effect upon, his health, although the disappointment was keen id deeply felt. His ‘occupies his whole attention now, and he has no thoughts for anything else. "He works upon it dally, devot- ing about three hours every morning to his writing, He has oniy about 200 printed pages to Prépare to complete the work. Under is systematic methods he is enabled to write about ten of these Gay, and in less than two months the whole work’ will be off nis hands. He rides and drives about the country Ssood deal, and continued pone exercise as kept him in prime condition. No doubt he felt his defeat very keenly, but he does not show it. Mrs, Blaine took it more to heart than he did.” She was dreadfully disappointed at not becoming the mistress of the White House. I really believe, though,” continued the gov- ernor, “that Blaine was thore disappointed at not being retained as Secretary of State under Arthur, “He had his heart set-on his foreign. Policy, and it grieved him sorely to be com- pelled'togive it up. “Yes, I talked with Mr. Blaine about his pres- idential defeat,” said Gov. Schuyler in answer to a question by the reporter. “I told him that {firmly believed from careful invest tions Made by me that he lost 23,000 votes in New York by Barchard’s alliteration, He smilingly answered: ‘You put the res somewhat ther than I do.

The cold spell, or the power of association, or the superabundance of brass buttons, one or all of these attractions have sent an unprece- dented lot of people to the Hygeia since the 1st of September. ‘The days have been one brush of golden sun- shine, tempered by that autumnal influence, which freshens the softest breeze, and has turned every fence cornerand every old garden into a bower of roses, that rival the vaunted favorites of the spring.’ The Soldiers’ Home is one stretch of color, from the gateway all along the lovely breakwater drive, and it is worth a night’s Journey from Washington to feast one’s eyes with the wonderful horticultural show. ‘There are 350 people here. eee is largely represented.

THE RADICAL PROGRAM. Mr. Chamberlain Outlines It in a Bold Speech Which Seems to Make Perma- nent the Split in the Liberal Party. ‘Special Cable Dispatch to Tae EVENING STaR. Loxvow, Sept. 9.—Mr. Chamberlain's speech last night settles the question of his attitude. Chamberlain has. declared his intention to ad- here firmly to his well-known views, ad- ding, evidently alluding to Lord Harting- ton: “If we cannot convince our allies of the Justice and reasonableness of our Views, then, with whatever reluctance, We must part company; we will fight alone. We will appeal to Cesar. We will go to the People from whom we came, and whose cause we plead. Though the verdict may be delayed, Ihave not the shadow of a doubt of the ulti- mate decision.” Reviewing the tory govern- ment, he said: “Without a word of acknowl- edgement, without the shadow of reason, ex- cept party exigencies and interest, they have appropristed every item of my pro- gram. They have stripped me of my policy and left me bare and forlorn till I can invent another, which they will, no doubt, steal initsturn, Don’t mistake me. I don’t complain of the theft, but I am distressed at the ingratitude of its perpetrators.” Regarding tho sincerity of the Jingo zutter- ances he reminded his hearers of the indigna- ton and violence of the tories when Germany annexed a partof New Guinea under the lib- eral ministry. Now, said he, without a word of protest, Germany is allowed to seize the territo- Ties of the Sultan of Zanzibar, our ally, worth a dozen New Guineas, On the Irish question he was perfectly deft- nite. He sald: “Parnell claims an extension of what has been known as home rule much Deyond anything existing in the state legls- lJatures of America. believe Farnel policy would be disastrous and ruino to Ireland herself. I hold we are bound to take every step to avoid 80 great a calamity.” He sald — that Parnell’s threatening thirty million of people with the vengeance of four million was doubtless intended for home consumption. His own policy was to redress every ible , MNS and establish an equality oflaws be- ween the two kingdoms. “God has made us neighbors. I ‘would to. heaven our rulers had mado us friends.” He explained the radical ies m as before in regard to land. It proposes give the popular representative authorities the right to obtain land for ail public purposes at a tair value, the local authorities to have power to let land for laborers’ allotments, arti- sans’ dwellings, and small holdings. He fay- ored free education, a revision of taxation, the taxation of sportiig land, ground rents and mineral royalties, the abolition of game laws, and demanded an inquiry into the illegal ap- propriation of public rights and public endow- ments, Concluding, he said, “The liberal party would be false to its trustif it did not strive to bring the institutions of the country into harmony with the wants and aspirations of the peoples if it did not seek continuously the Frcaiee happiness to the greatest number; If itdid not serve the poor with ay least as much the ‘Protection of the rich, Hae. ligations ‘of yas stren it defends its rights.” c edttorialein all the papers simply, cry, (don't” All highly praise Chamberlain's ut- terances on the Trish question, but beyond this they venture nothing Eas the tories, who give plenty of abuse. ‘The Standard calls it “sonorous claptrap and glowing jargon.” The Times says: “It is, perhaps,idle to expect Cham- berlain to understand that men, not less benevolent than himsel!, were becoming weary over the painful riddle of the earth ages before he saw in it means of exciting enthusiasm or paving the way for his return to power.” ‘The Speech 1s recelved by the radical party with greatenthusiasm. {ft gives them confidence now that their leader stands firm. ———_—_ THE KAISER INTERVENES. “Mis Old Friend 7 y to Abandon all Designs on the Carolines.

Current opinion on the judges’ boat was all against the Puritan. There is some reason to believe that the Genesta luffed a trifle, J enough to poke her nose through the Paritan's sail. “The Genesta side of the steering is that the cutter was held off as faras she could be without falling off before the wind, toavold cutting the sloop in two, The Puritan's owners shi their belief that the Genesta luffed by running back ynder the lee of the judges’ boas and offering to sail the course alone and claim the race.
