No information on that subject has ever been compiled irom the records. It would involve the examination of the records of nearly 3,000,000 men to enable the department to make such a statement with funy, degree of accuracy, and as nothing would be’ gained to the public’ service by it, the prob- ability is that the question of who was the youngest soldier will never be definitely settled.

FACTION FIGHTS OVER THE OFFICES—UNANIM- ITY ON THE CHINESE QUESTION—PROGRES- SIVE EAT-EATERS. Capt. Foley, of San Francisco, is in the city. ‘He says the California offices will probably not be filled until after New York, Ohio and Vir- ginla are disposed of. Each faction in the democratic party, he says, declares, when one from the other faction is mentioned for a place, that it would be better to let the republican re- main, and the President has told them that until they can settle their dispute they will have to put up with the inconvenience rd hav- ing republican officials over them. ‘he people along the coast are still very much disturbed over the Chinese question. Formerly the laboring classes were the only ones inter- ested directly. The Chinese would do for 90 cents or $1 @ day the work for which the whites were paid two dullars, and would work fifteen or sixteen hours per day.

WHAT REPRESENTATIVE MURPHY SAYS OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN THE NORTHWEST. Representative Murphy, of Iowa, arrived in the city last evening and called upon the Presi- dent today. In conversation with a STAR reporter, after his visit to the President, he said that he had not made the call upon any special litical mission. He said that he found the President in. excclient health and spirits, and that he seemed to be ready and equipped for the arduous duties which the coming session of Congress would throw upon him. “How are the people of your state and sec- tion pleased with the administration?” asked ‘the reporter. “They are entirely satisfied with the Presi- dent and bis inethod of conducting pubhe affairs,” replied Judge Murphy. “I” have heard,” he continued, “of dissatisfaction within the party, but I have not been able to locate it in my intercourse with the people of Iowa and the northwest. The masses of the people of all parties are convinced of the President's Integ- Tity aud his firm purpose to give them good government upon an economical basis, and they are satisfied.” Upon being asked if he did not have some object in view in coming here, the judge replied that his only purpose was to advance the inter- ests of the Hennepin canal, which, he added, “is the question of most vital Interest now td the northwest. ——— Mr. Van Bokken’s Story. HIS RELEASE FROM A HAYTIEN PRISON, Mr. C. A. Van Bokken, who, upon the demand of Secretary Bayard, was released from a prison in Haytl, where he had been illegally, in viola- tion of treaty obligations, confined for fifteen months, is in this city to consult with the State department with relation totheaffuir. Mr. Van Bokken was an American citizen doing busi- ness in Hayil and was arrested by the Haytien government and thrown into prison. The U.S. overnment five times demanded his release, ut it was not until Secretary Bayard took the matter in hand that his release was secured. Meanwhile he was confined for fifteen months in a prison the horrors of which, he says, were indescribable, all classes of criminals being confined together almost without food and water, and surrounded with filth of the most sickening description. The Haytien government assunied an attitude of defiance towards the State department, and when they found such a course would not serve with Secretary Bayard they delivered Mr. Van Bokken to the American ininister quietly, and three days afterwards addressed a letter to the American minister, stating that they still maintained the independetce of their courts and _ailowed no foreign government to meddle in sueh matters, but that Mr. Van Bokken had got at liberty "In some way unknown to the government of Haytl, and that the matter might be allowed to drop there. days, after this the president of | Haytt stated to the “Senate and Chambers” that he had been obliged to set the prisoner at liberty upon the demand of Secretary Bayard. ‘Mr. Van Bokken has come here to thank the State department for his release, and to urge that indemnity tor the outrage be demanded. The present American interests in Haytl are so great that some positive action is demanded on the part of this government to protect its citi- zens. ——_—_-se+____ Will Refuse the Injunction.

The wind blew dead from the northeust,and kept in- creasing from ten miles an hour at sunset to nearly fitteen miles at midnight. A Promising Dawn. This morning broke hopefully, and at day- break there was life and bustle on board the yachts, The sea was heavy then and the “off shore” signal was flying trom the staff on the highlands. The wind was from the northeast and blowing at the rate of twelve miles an hour, with indications of a steady all-day breeze.

The Puritan was to the windward of the Ge- nesta at the start, ‘The Genesta Goes Ahead. Shortly after the yachts got away an outward bound bark got in the way of both yachts, com- pelling them to pay off. This action put the Genesta ahead, At noon the wind was fifteen miles an hour, east northeast, ‘The Genesta continued in the lead, but to the leeward of the Puritan, which was outpointing the Englishman. The Genesta was standing on the same tack as the Puritan at balf-past 12, and was well over on the Long Island shore.
