Grant, made In 1872, federal officials are prohibited from holding state or municipal officers, Inquiries are being Teceived, especially at the Post Office depart ment, to know whether this order is in force. The reply is made that it is still In operation, and that it can only be rescinded by an order of the President, AS these officials are members of boards of supervisors, and act in other ea pacities in carrying on the elections, the en- forcement of the order will be felt widely. YELLOW FEVER ANDSMALILPOX.—The marine hospital bureau is informed that the steamer Craighill, which arrived at Boston on the 29th ultimo, is suspected of having four cases of yel- Jow fever on ard. The patients are now at Gallop’s Island hospital, and although they are Quite sick, it ts thought that all will recover. mn the trip to Boston ‘the captain died of the same disease for which they are being trea’ but it was then thought to be malarial fever. The bureau is also informed that smallpox has appeared at Fall River, Mass,, and that the cases have been traced directly to Canada. TAKING A Fares HoLp.—There was a great crowd about the door of the Secretary of the Interior to-day, and the employes were re- minded of the early days of the administration, One of these latter remarked to a STaR reporter to-day: “I saw the same faces that I used to see about here last spring. ‘They seem to have come back with new chergy.. I suppose that they stayed around here as long as they could stand their winter clothes, and now that the ‘weather Is cooler they are back again.” ASSISTANT ADJUTANT GENERAL MCKEEVER will not be relieved from duty at the War de- partment until the arrival of his successor, Col. who lef San Francisco last Thursday or Friday, eecompanted by hts family, foF Washington.

At the same time, he compli. ments Dr. Godding upon the accuracy and clearness of his accounts, THE PENSION AGENT AT INDIANAPOLIS— Gen. M. D. Manson, the lieutenant governor of Indiana, and Col.

PREDICTING TORNADOES.—The phenomena of tornadoes, to the scientific study of which Lieut.

ITS CURIOUS POSITION—AUTHORIZED TO CON- TINUE, BUT WITHOUT ANY DUTIES TO PER- FORM, ‘What are the duties of the naval advisory board now-a-days?” asked a STax reporter of a naval officer. “Drawing theirsalaries seems to be their most ‘onerous task at present,” was the reply. Since the Roach-Navy department difficulties, begin- ning with the action of the Secretary of the Navy in rejecting the report of the advisory board recommending the acceptance of the Dolphin, and insisting upon additional trials, and culminating In Roueh's failure and tie selzure of the incomplete cruisers by the Navy departinent, the advisory board have had no duties beyond defending their rey Dolphin against the criticisms of the special board appointed to examine and report upon er. ‘The position of the advisory board just now is a very curious one, and is a subject of general comment among naval officers. ‘The existence of the board is authorized by law until the com- letion of the cruisers Chicago, Boston and At- lanta, under their supervision, The Secretary of thé Navy intends to have these vessels com- pleted by the Navy Department, and to this end has had an inventory and appraisement of the work and material made’ by speciall: appointed boards. The original adviso board sult has a legal existence, and according to law the supervision of the work will have vessels are finished. It rt on the until the remains to be seen whether that supervision will be active or merely nomina!. If they supervise, it will be under the direction of the Secretary ofthe Navy, and judging by his treatment of the board ‘thus far, it would not be strange if they have little more onerous duties to periorm than they have now. The existence of the board will terminate with the completion of the unfinished cruisers. ‘The board have noth- ing todo with the construction of the new cruisers, concerning — which Commodore Walker's board reported recent; <9 The Backbone of Summer Broken.

The President and Civil Servive Re- m. WHAT MR, EATON SAYS OF THE REORGANIZA- ‘TION OF THE COMMISSIO: In answer toa request tor his opinion upon the probable reorganization of the civil service commission, Commissioner Eaton, 1s re- ported to have said: “My successor will, I pre- sume, be ready to enter upon his duties on the 1st of November. If the President, in view of the unreasonable jealousies which exist shall deem it wise to supersede one or both of the other commissioners, I think he will do so deliberately, freely and at the proper time. He will not be coerced, either as to the time or the persons to be selected, by the impudent de- mands of noisy intermeddiers. ‘Those. who clamor most about Cid, lec sete are not friends of reform, and they have but to continue their clamor to make their feebleness as mani- fest as their hostility. If he shall place two members of his own party upon the commission he will not allow any laxity of administration or any favoritism on their part to open the way to patronage and spoils, which are the alm of so many of those most’ anxious to help him to bring about speedy reorganization. “He would. Iam sure, depreciate the making of a precedent for treating the office of a civil service commissioner as political and to be filled anew by évery succeeding president. Yet something must be conceded, perhaps, to the exigency of a new experiment and to an unen- lightened public opinion on thesubject, Know- ing, as the ident does, that the work of the commission {s both new’and complicated, I think that he fully appreciates that a new com- missioner will gain much by servirg for a time with one or more of those familiar with the work. No disguised enemy of reform could deal it @ more disastrous blow than to bring about an immediate change of all the commissioners. But some of these enemies mean yet more than that ue what they call a reorgan! jon. They hope there may be connivance on the part of commissioners and radical changesin the rales, ‘They do not scem yet to understand the Presi: dent and his cabinet any better than they do tho enlightened and growing public opinion which demands reform. On what rational basis do those enemies attempt coercion or assume thas the President will repudiate his pledges and all that is noblest in his official life and most hopeful for his party and this country?” ——_——“see_______ Interrupting a Tete-a-Tete.

Probably All be Done Over Again—Status of the Yard. Secretary Whitney in reorganizing the Wash- ington navy yard intended fitting itup ex- Pressly for ordnance work. He did not intend to give his personal attention to the laborers and mechanics employed or to be employed but contented himself with making changes in the foremen at the yard. To this end examina- tions were held of all applicants for the posi- tions and of present incumbents. When asked & few days ago about the appointment of these foremen, Secretary Whitney replied that he had not yet considered the report of the exam- ining but that the work would probably have to be done rill over again. This state- ment gives color to the report that the “result of the examinations was not satisfactory, because several of the old foremen, whose’ services were not. desirable longer, had succeeded in passing a good exam- ination by irregular methods, It 1s understood that no suspicion is attached tothe course of the examining board, but that the candidates obtained {information of the character of the examination in advance, and prepared them- selves accordingly. Pending the appointment of foremen, Secre- tary Whitney will carry out his intention of confining the work of the yard to ordnance and equipment, His decision not to have the repairs to the Swatara made at the local yard was the first step in this direction, and there is every reason to suppose that the steam engineering and eer other depart- ments of the yard will be closed by the 1st of November, Chief Engineer Eonne, chief of the bureau of steam engineering uf the Navy department, said today that while the Secretary had not said anything definite to him on the subject, he was Inclined to believe that the plan of confin- ing the work of the yard to ordnance and equip- ment would be carried into effect by the 1st of November, when the steam engineering depart- ment would be closed.

A Great Demand for Small Currency One of the Signs of It—Talks with Men from Various Sections of the Country. The Treasury department {s receiving an In ereased demand for small currency. This Is considered the best sign of increasing business activity. When business is dull and money held close the large bills are accumulated by capitalists and hoarded. For some years past capitalists have been holding their money in ‘this way, but now these bills are coming in to be exchanged for smaller currency, which is more convenient for commercial ust The de- mand for small currency is enormous jast now, ‘THE SraR reporter was informed at the Treas- ury department to-day, and the indications are that the moncy ‘is beng put into actual business or spent tor the ma- terial improvement of the country. This is shown by the character of the money in de- mand, by the gradual extension of commercial and manutacturing enterprises,by the increased value of real estate in nearly every city in the spantry, with Washington at the head; and by the higher valuation of contiguous farm land. THe Srar reporter learns from talking with numerous officials trom various sections that the same activity in real estate that is noticeable here is apparent elsewhere through. gutthe country. Money, Instend of being pat into gigantic and doubtful speculations, is ng put into business enterprises which contribute to the general prosperity and give a correspond- ing increase to the value of property. ‘Thus large sums of money that have been hoarded are going into real estate and building is going Telegrams to The Star. \T’S VIEWS.

Attempted Suicide of a New Yorker. NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO KILL HIMSELF, HE ASKS TO BESHOWN TO THE RIVER THAT HE MAY JUMP IN. Augustus Hoose, a mathematical instrument maker from New York, made a desperate at- tempt to commit suicide at Myer's hotel, on Pennsylvania avenue, about half-past nine o’clock this morning, by cutting his throat with @ razor. After committing the deed he went from his room on the second floor to the bar- room below, and going to the bartender, Wm. Grelb, inquired, “Which way is the Potomac river?” Blood was streaming from the terrible gash which had been inflicted with the razor. Mr. Greib placed him on a chair and he ex- claimed, “I anisosick, and want to drown my- self." Drs. Townshend and Sellhausen were sent for,and when they arrived the injured man sald: “1am not strong enough to kill my- seli, show me the river. ‘The patrol wagon was sent for and the suf- ferer was removed to Providence hospital. APPARENTLY DEMENTED. ‘The room in which the deed Was enacted is a small bed-room on the second floor in the rear ofthe hotel. There was in the room a bedstead, bureau and washstand, on which laid the razor which had done the bloody work. ‘The wash- bowl was half filled with blood and water, and bloody finger prints were on the handle of the itcher, In the spittoon was a quantity of yurned paper, apparently letters he had de- stroyed. “His consisted of a large valise filled with clothing, a quantity of cigars and several bottles of ‘medicine. Nothing was known of him at the hotel except that he had acted strangely since his arrival there, about half-past eleven o'clock Friday night. During the night some of the boarders heard consider- able noise in his room. Saturday morning he complained that during the night somebody had been ealling him. He said that somebody. was alter him from New York. The boarders generally supposed him to be demented, WHAT IS KNOWN OF HIM HERE.
