THE FRENCH SPOLIATION CASES.—It is stated at the Court of Claims that the necessary delay on the part of the government in the trial of the French spoliation claims can not have the effect of preventing the trial of eases, because of the two year’ limit within which proceed- ings must be begun. It fs stated that the rep- Tesentatives of the ‘claimants can file with the court preliminary petitions, which will prevent thelr cases being crowded out by, limitation. ey can subsequently prepare the cases in detail.

PAY DIRECTOR FULTON SAID TO BE LIKELY TO RECEIVE THE APPOINTMENT. It is expected that the appointment of a pay- master general of the navy will shortly be made to fill the vacancy caused by the diamis- sal of Pay Inspector Smith from that position by court-martial. It is the general Impression that Pay Director James Fulton will receive the appointment, although Pay Director Looker and Pay Inspector Stevenson are appl ean: ‘The Secretary of the Navy has been looking into the matter, and has recetved from all the officers of the pay corps and of bureau officers ot the Navy department recommendations for the selection of Fulton. In addition, a delega- tion of democratic Senators have urged the Bec- retary to make that selection, Pay Director Fulton's political sentiments are wholly demo- ¢ratic. He was a member of the legislature of Tennessee when but twenty-one years of and has a great deal of democratic influence. The Union Pacific Road. THE GOVERNMENT RECOMMEND ACTION BASED UPON THE HOAR BILL. The Secretary of the Interlor yesterday re- celved the report of the government directors of the Union Pacific railroad company, Messrs, E. P. Alexander, J. W. Savage, M. A. Hanna, F. R. Condert and Franklin MucVeagh. It states that the road Is a debtor to the government toa very large amount, the debt being secured by a second mortgage upon a portion of the property of the company. ‘The entire issue of bonds and floating debt upon the whole system is but about $25,000 per mile. The government di- Teetors recommend early action based upon the principles of the Hear bill, the period of the payments belng fixed at elghty years. Under the principles of the Hoar bill the matter may be settled atonce and forever,and no longer trouble either Coi or the courts, ‘Thecom- Pany would simply huve to make its seml- ‘annual nt Or lose all its property, and the amount at risk by the government Would grow less and its security greater year by year. Gen. Hasen’s Explanation. ‘HE ANSWEES THE STATEMENTS MADE BY THE SECOND CONTROLLER. Gen. W. B. Hazen has sent to the Secretary 0 War a long letter in reply to the recent state- ment made by the second controller, alleging irregularities and unauthorized expenditures in the signal service accounts. Gen, Hazen holds that he is not responsible for the manner in tion pel moat of cho cxvennbeeee een: ng Were not sufficiently specific. It AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY NEEDS OF THE NAVY DEPARTMEN?. Mr. Plumb Opposed to Orna- mental Officials. Sy WAR TAXES BEFORE THE HOUSE. a’ New Measures Proposed To-day. ‘The Senate. In the Senate to-day the prayer was offered by the Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, of Brooklyn, N.Y. THE CONSCIENCE FUND. ‘The chair laid before the Senate a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury in reply to a re- cent resolution of the Senate relating to the conscience fund, The term “conscience fund,” the Secretary says, had its origin in the popular belief that the donations of money received from persons unknown were because of money wrongfully withheld from the government, The first item to the credit of the fund was made in 1827, and the fund now amounts to $220,747.26. THE STATEN ISLAND BRIDGE. Among the memorials presented and appro- priately referred was one by Mr. Sewell, con- sisting of a concurrent resolution of the legis- lature of New Jersey, protesting against the ffanting by Congress 'of any right to build a ridge from the shores of New Jersey to those of Staten Island, New York, and asserting the doctrine of states rights in denial of the power of Congress to grant such authority. Several petitions were presented from organ- izations of Knights of Labor urging Congress to open up to settlement the Territory of Okla- homa, ‘THE PROPOSED NEW ASSISTANT SECRETARY. Mr, Cameron called up the bill providing for the appointment of an Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Anamendment suggested by the naval committee requires that the assistant Should come from etvil lite. Mr. Plumb boped some explanation would be given of the need of such an officer, and of the heed of such haste in taking up the bill at this time, it having but recently been reported, Mr, Hale thought it very desirable that there shouid be @ greater infusion into the Navy de- Partment of the business capacity characteris- Uc of active and successful business men. Un- Jess the bill should provide for the making of the appointment from civil life there woul solicitations by naval officers and consequent Jealousies would be aronsed. In case of emer- gency the President and Secretary of the Nut already had authority of law to call in for ad- vice snd consultation proper experts from among the naval officers. Mr. Hale believed it essential to the bill that the appolntment be made from civil life, OPPOSED TO ANY MORE ORNAMENTAL CHIEFS. Mr. Plumb opposed the appolatment of the proposed officer. He was not necessary, Mr. Plumb sald, He would simply be another functionary to wear a rose in a button-hole; give receptions and dikport himesolt for the edi~ ication of outsiders, so. a8 to make the govern- ment “show” more complete. These depart- ment chiefs were tse ornamental part of the departments. Departmental work, like the brook, went “on forever,” regardless of who was Secretary. There was too much machinery in the government departments; and what was wanted was not an Assistant Secretary, but an entire reorganization of the departmental methods. Responsibility was now too much divided; and, in fact, when traced up was found nowhere. ‘Mr. Hawley favored the bill. The department expended twelve to fifieen million dollars a year, he sald, and it was not unreasonable that ‘the Secretary shoald have a competent assist- antirom civil life, especially, as Mr, Hawley hoped und believed, that department would, in the neur future, expend much more money than at present, ' He thought it one of the most Palpable indications of ‘the times that the American people wanted something like a re- Spectable navy. A thorough business man Would be necessary in such case as the confl- dential assistant of the Secretary of the Navy. THE SALARY NOT SUFFICIENT. Mr, Beck said that Secretaries Lincoln and Chandler had, two years ago, made plain to the Senate committees the necessity for an as- sistant in each of their departments. A bill ‘was then passed providing for such an officer In the War and Navy departments, but the salary ($3,500) bad not proved sufficient, and the offi- cers were not appointed. The main argument then used was that a civilian was necessary in order to avoid the jealousies and, as was sald, the “bourbonism’ of the naval and military of ficers, Mr, Beck favored the bill and the pro- posed amendment, At 2 p.m. the bill went over and considera ton of the Dakota bill was resumed, Mr, Harri- son taking the floor in advocacy of the bill. House of Representatives. After the reading of the journal, which con- sumed more than half an hour, the Speaker proceeded to call the committees for reports, uit ne measures Of public Importance were sub- miter BILLS PASSED, 4n the morning hour Mr. Culbertson (Texas), on behalf of the committee on the judiciary, called up the bill dividing the eastern judicial district of Arkansas into two districts, to be known as the eastern and western districts of the eastern district of Arkansas.

The Senate committee on public lands to-day heard the statements of certain newspaper cor respondents in relation to interviews they had published with Surveyor General Dement, of Utah, and which he had denied. Mr. John A. Corwin, of the Chicago Times, stated that he called upon Dement at the Harris House. He had been informed that Dement was here for the purpose of conferring with the land office in reference to frauds he hud dis- covered, and he (Corwin) went in search of De- ment for the purpose of interviewing him. De mentasked how Corwin had learned he was here, “I laughed at him,” sald the witness, “and sald you have been swooping round here and the Interior department for two or three days. Somebody was sure to get you.” [Laugh- ter.] Mr. Corwin affirmed the correctnessof his interview. Dement suid he would rather not have the matter published now, as the develo ments were not complete, aad if Corwin would withhold It his paper should have the informa- tion, atthe proper time, exclusively; but Mr. Corwin did not agree to withhold the matter. ‘Mr. Curtis, correspondent of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, Stated that he got his information from Mr. Corwin, He did not see Dement in person, Mr, Corwin also slated that he gave the substance of his interview with Dement to Mr. Curtis, as a personal favor to the latter. Mr. Buin, of tle New York World, stated that he calied upon Dement at the Harris house and made inquiry abut the matters contained in the interview, which had been sent to the New York Graphic. Dement dictated a brief state- ment, which hie authorized to be sent as cina- nating from him. The witness submitted the original drait of the interview as dictated. Then, he sald, Dement entered into conversa- tion Upon the matter of frauds in Utah, stating that a fraud syndicate existed; that the Mor- monssent money to Washington to influence legislation and bad bribed members of both houses of ress. But Dement stipulated that these matters ‘were not co be printed as coming from him. He maintained that they were true, but preferred they should noi appear as authorized by him, as {t might subject pim tothe charge of “babbling.” Mr. Bain wrote out what Dement bad authorized, and ulso sent to the World the matter which was not to be attributed to Dement; but by some mistake it all appeared in quotation marks as coming from Dement. The latter asserted that five Senators and a many members of the House had received money derived from land frauds, Two of these Seu- ‘ators, according to Dement, were from the west, two from the middle portion of the Union, and one from the fareast, Dement did not locate any Representatives, merely saying that many of them, some of them men of high standing, had profited from traud. In tbe course of his conversation Dement remarked, sald Mr. Bain, that so faras land steuling was concerned out ‘west, polities had nothing todo with i Dement pronounced that portion of the original inter- view which reflected upon Gov. Murray, of Utah, as false, He also mentioned registers, receivers of public moneys and surveyors gen” eral as mixed up in frauds. ‘Mr, T. C. Crawford, correspondent of the New York World, stated ‘that Mr, Bain explained to him thata large portion of ‘what Dement had said was not to be published upon his autuority, though he stood ready in the event of its being questioned to affirm its trath. By some imis- take itall appeared as upon Dement’s authority. Mr. Crawford explained the matter to Dement in the presence of Gen. Spurks. Atthat time and to Gen. Sparks Dement denied the pub- lished interview. Mr. Jules Guthredge, correspondent of the Chicago News,sent the interview, as Mr. Cor win had related it. He knew Dement, and in response to a writien request called upon the latter last Sunday evening. Dement declared to him that the interviews published as com- ing from him were false throughout; that there Was not a word of truth in them. At Dement’s request Mr. Guthredge Introduced him to Mr. Boynton, of the Western Associated press, and Dement requested the latter to sendoutasweep- ing denial of those interviews, r. Fred. Perry Powers, of the Chicago Times, stated that Mr. Corwin told him he had heard of Dement’s presence here, and that evening informed him that he had interviewed Dement, Mr. Powers had not seen Dement during his Present visit. It was announced that Mr. Dement had been notified of the hearing, but had replied he had no desire to be present. A Balloon Expert. PROF, KING EMPLOYED BY THE WAR DEPART.

Some apprehensions are felt ease that a riot might follow, in which the mayor might call pon nor for military assistance. None the national guard at Cincinnati would be called out, but the Columbus battalion of the 14th regiment and the Goveruor's guard would probably be the first troops sent to suppress any riot.

A Qualified Approval of Its Make-up by the London Papers. Special Cable Dispatch to THe EVENING STAR Lospos, Feb, 4.—Mr. Chamberlain's attitude caused several changes at the last moment in the new cabinet. Altogether the selections meet favorable comment, except those ot Lord Granville, Lord Ripon and Earl Kimber}; which are really bad. Lord Rosebery an Morley are the striking features of the new ministry. Both are the best possible men for the places and are very warmly received. There 4s a rumor that Jas. Bryce will be Indian under secretary, tion, but John Morley wiil be strongly opposed. Nothing will be done to-day in the house of commons but moving for the new writs. HOW THE PAPERS REGARD IT, The Ties merely remarks: “The government | cannot, asa whole, be described as a strong one.” ‘The Daily News says: “The standing aside of Lord Hartington is a matter of rezret that may at no distant day be removed. But, with this single defection, both friends aod foes will admit that Gladstone, in anticipation of the herculean task he has appointed for him- self, is happy in starting with a strong minis- try.” The Mandard says: “It 1s not an ideal ministry. It is not, indeed, such a ministry as Would have contented Gladstone seventeen years ago; Dut, on the whole, it 18 as eilicient a ‘combination as we have a right toexpect under the circumstances, In the absence of those Statesmen who constituted the strength of Gladstone's former administrations and se- cured for him the confidence of the moderate independent men. A really powerful govern- ment was next to impossible, but it will hardly bedenied that Gladstone has made the best ot abad situation.” The Pall Mall Gazette says: “There is oaly one istinctly bad appointment, and another that Is a debatable one—Ripon's; but, on the whole, Gladstone has done much better than we expected.” By Associated Press, Loxpon, Feb. 4. The appointment of Lord Rosebery as secretary for toreign affairs in Mr, Gladstone's cabinet ig generally approved. | It is believed that Lord Rosebery will foliow the policy pursued by Lord Salisbury. The markets have in no wise been aifected by the announcement of the composition of the new cabinet. Egyptian securities are firm, ‘No opposition will be offered to the re-elec- tion to parliament of Mr. Chamberlain, tbe president of the local government board in the hew ministry.
