Chief Engineer Morley and Constructor Hoover were seen by @ New York Sun reporter as they loft the tug at ihe ordnance dock. They were very reticent in regard to the trip, and all they would say was that it had been entirely suc- cessful and no mishap had taken place. ‘The Atlanta arrived at the New York navy yard this morning, but no particulars of the trip have been received at the Navy department, (KEES, THE QORCORAN GALLERY OF ART ‘wiil be closed to the public for improvements during the nonth of August sy order of the Buard 01 ‘Irustecs, au2-eo,3t YM.

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE HOPES OF KEEPING THEIR MAJORITY, Most of the members go home now to attend conventions and to fix up their fences for the fall elections, Before they come back to the capital again they will go through a campaign, and at present the speculation is as to the com- plexion of the next house. The republicans expect to make gains in the House, but they hardly expect to overcome the democratic majority. ‘The democrats are in considerable Of @ tangle all over the country, but their quar- rel are chiefly over internal inctional ascend- ancy, and will be mostly settled In convention, jany men now in Cougress will not return, but it is claimed by democrats that the grand gum- ming up will show as many democrats in the next Congress as in this, if not more. One of the best informed democrats about the House told a Stax reporter to-day that he found, after & cureful study of the situation, that there were Just five states where the republicans might make guins, ‘These were Michfgan, Ilinois, Indiana, Iowa and Ohio. They would probably. gain two in Michigan, two in Indiana, and possibly two or tbree in Ohio, Butin the latter State the democrats weré in better shape than Was geuerally supposed.

ENGINEER ABERT’S KEPOKT OF WORK ON THE LOWER POTOMAC, ‘The report of Civil Engineer 8, T, Abert of the work of improvement in his charge on the Potomac river was sent to thechief of engineers yesterday. The report states that no recent examination bas been made of the improve- ment of the Potomac river at Mt. Vernon, Va, but itis believed that $5,500 will be required for the purpose of enlarging and deepening the basin, widening the channel and removing the silt which has been deposited in the cut, The amended project of the improvementof Breton's bay, Leonardtown, Md.. in order to maintain the depth of water in the channel, is to widen the cut to 200 feet for a distance of one and a haif miles, and to enlarge the busin to a width of 400 fect by 800 feet In length, so far as it may be permitted. Mr. Abert says be would deposit the material parallel with the channel, ‘This work can be compicted for $26,000. At the close of the work in January, 1835, the channel was 115 feet wide and not less thin 88 feet deep. It was found after examination that the basin had decreased in depth at the upper end, and that the channel below the wharf lad also decreased in depth for @ distance of 2,8004 feet. The basin was filed by the wash from the ereeks and bapks above it, while the channel below seems to have been mach injured by the injudiclous managementof the steamers, Since 1879, when the work ‘was commenced, $22,950.49 has been expended, see" Gen, Hazen Weil Satisfied. GAINS AND LOSSES OF THE SIGNAL SERVICE IN THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST. “How are you satisfied with the treatment of the signal corps by Congress?” asked a STAR reporter of Gen. Hazen this morning. “First- rate,” was the reply; “we won the fight, but of course there were more or less casualties result- ing from such a sharp battle, The victory is ours, however, for the weather bureau remains in the signal service and in the army, and we can afford to take our losses very philosophi- cally, ‘at_were the losses?” asked the reporter. “We lost Fort Myer, two lieutenants, thirty men and $18,000. Part of our losses, however, are only on paper. ‘The two lieutenants ware prospective. We can’t promote two ser eauls to be second lieutenants as permitted flcrevotore, “thirty men are lopped’ olf trom the corps, but as itlacked twenty-two of being full, there is in reality a loss of but eight. ‘These wilicome trom the permanent party at Fort Myer, and the eight men will be mustered out, % lose Fort Myer as a signal service school, Dat it will be maintained usan army post, Tt was a inistake to deprive us of Fort Myer, for reully it was the most economical teature ot tne service. ‘Ten per cent of our force was kept there on regular soldiers’ pay, while if they are sent away, they will be receiving, with commu- tation of quarters, rations, saboat. $80.

DISTRICT INTERESTS IN CONGRESS—ME. INGALLS: SAYS THEY WERE NEVER BEFORE LOOKED AFTER 80 CAREFULLY IN THE SENATE— CLOSING PROCEEDINGS OF THE TWO HOUSES, TC. The litter of the session is being cleared up at the Capitol to-day, *There is less confusion than usual. Probably not more than a dozen members were at the House to-day, most of them having already gone home. The pages were busy on the floor packing away papers and files. The work of the journal clerk, the file clerks and enrolling clerks were well cleared Be eee, time of adjournment, and perrahing: about those offices looked as if Congress ha been long awby. For the first time in the his- tory of ngress the 8 cer’s table was clear of all business. Heretofore it has been impos- sible to take from the Speaker's table measures coming from the Senate, except Epon motion, and it was done only once or twice in a session. By the obi of the rules for this Congress it Was provided that these matters should be re- ferred to the proper committees each morning. ‘The calendar this session was larger than that of any other Co: in the history of the country. The list or the bills, eted” by the President—that is not signed—when Con- gress adjourned, has not yet been received from the White’ House, but they number be- ‘tween fifteen and twenty, including the Morri- son resolution. The Disirict of Columbia had one day each month, but very little was accom. plished on account of the general disposition of the House to trifle away the time on these ‘The first day was yielded for the District appro- priation bill, and tholast two days were blocked y the traction railroad bill. ‘This covered a period of three months. The work of the en- ep tre clarks, who are rushed with the bills on allowing one month’s extra pay to R. F. Fen- Gail, an employe who aad been dismissed with- out cause. FUN IN THE SENATE, Secretary Pruden appeared with a message from the President. Mr. Edmunds objected to its reception, on the nena could betraamace oe Be jusiness could be trai The chrir (Mr. Sherman) decided that the message could be received. It was an emer gency that had to be promptly met. Mr. Ed- mounds was clearly right, but if sustained there could be no adjournment at 4 o'clock. Mr, Edmunds ap] | and the chair refused to entertain the appeal “in the absence of a quorum.” [Laughter. ‘Mr. Edmunds raised the same point against the reception of a mexsage trom the House, and was again overrul pealed, but the chair took no notice of the appe FLA the chair entertain my appeal?” he in- “ The chair will entertain it, but will not put the question,” retorted Mr. Sherman, w! PitTet that be entered on the Journal,” called en on out Mr. Edmunds, MR, SHERMAN’S PARTING ADDRESS. At five minutes to four o'clock Mr, Sherman read the following address: Senators: Before announcin, of this session of the Senate turn to each of you my the termination beg leave to re- rateful thanks for your uniform courtesy and Kindness to me as your presiding officer, and especially for the resolu- tion of to-day, in which you have expressed your approval. This session has been distin- Gulshed by the great number and variety of Subjects which have been considered and by the marked absence of political controversies. ‘The varied needs and aims of a rapidly grow- ing country have occupied more of the time of the Senute. A short recess will enable you to greet yourconstituents; and I hope and trust that cach of you, will return next December with renewed health and strength to your im- with District Interests im the Senate. WHAT ME, INGALLs SAYS ABOUT LOCAL LEGIS- LATION THIS SESSION. Senator Ingalls, chairman of the District com- mittee, in conversation with a Stak reporter on the subject of local legislation, sald: “I ‘observed that some of the residents of the Dis- trict joined in a wholesale denunciation of Con- gress for alleged neglect of District interests, ‘and that nettled me, for I know that the Senate committee and the Senate have discharged their whole duty in this respect. Our com- mittee has gone into the minutest details, even in connection with matters of personal interest tothe people here. We have listened not only to delegations, but to individuals who had any complaints or suggestions to make, and we havo endeavored to apply remedies wherever practicable, I know that District interests ave never received such diligent attention in any Congress since I have been @ member as the Senate has bestowed at this session. These interests could not have been more careiully watched had the people here had @ representative in each house, and I think the complaints and de- nunications are ungracious, to say the least. No complaint can be laid against the Senat®, and it competent measures have failed in the House, the Senate ought not to be included in the arraignment. Of course we ‘have not ac- complished everything the people want, nor, perbups, everythiug they should have; but wé have done our best, and it is not given to mor- tals to do more than that.
