Money ror THANKSGIvING.—The Secretary Of the Treasury has ordered that the clerks in the department be paid their full month's gal- ary the day before Thanksgiving. Lrevr; RicHARD H. TowNiry has been de- tached from the training-ship Jamestown and Placed on'sick leave, THE PRESIDENT AND MRS. CLEVELAND, tak- ing advantage of the opportunity offered by the gates of the White House grounds beihg closed Under the new order, took a wulk through the grounds together this morning. The purpose of closing the gates 1s not fear of any bodily in- jury to the President, but to relieve him and ‘his wife from the intrusion of the curious pub- lic when they want a quiet walk. ‘This sort of exercise is necessary to the President’s health, and it is beneficial ‘to Mrs. Cleveland as well. Heretofore when they have required exercise they have had to go to Oak View. Other Presi- dents have not been so on-set_by curious peo- ple, and have not had to exercise authority to Sechro privacy. Mr. Arthur used frequently to walk out alone upon the street, and Gen. Grant used to walk down the Avenue almost to the Capitol early every morning. Army ORDERS.—Lieut, Col. P. C. Hains, corps of engineers, has been substituted for Major Wm. A. King as a member of the board ap- pointed to report upon the designs for the wharf to be built at Fort Monroe. First uieut, Benj. F. Hundforth, 11th infantry, ordered to conduct a detachment of recruits from New York to Da- Kota. Assistant Medical Purveyor B.D.

Hopefal Views of Mr. Hurd. EVERYTHING LOVELY FOR TARIFF REFORM AND THE ADMINISTRATION EXCEEDINGLY POPULAR, ASrar reporter had a pleasanttalk this morn- ‘mg with ex-Representative Hurd, who arrived here a few days ago. He says he never saw the democratic party in better shape than now. With a great question like tariff reform before them there will be no lack of leaders in the House. To mention a few only, he says, there 4s Mr. Carlisle, of course at the head of the House, and there are Mr. Mills, the two Breckin- ridges, Mr. Holman, and Tarsney, of Michigan. ‘Parsney bas Just got his second Lerm, and tie is good man." And then Mr. Cox, of New York, comes back. ‘Tariff retorm is on the advance, What it needs is ugitation, When it was nut tulked about nothing could be expected, and now everybody is thinking of it, and the theories of protection cannot stand disetission, People will look at the question as Mr. Carlisle did in his speech at the Lroquols banquet. Tarif! reform privelples are bound w grow from dis- cussion, It we have lostin some places we have guined in others. “How about the suggestion that Mr. Carlisle may decline the Speakership of the Fiiteth Congress to take the lead on the floor?” asked the Feporter. “Ob, no; he can do more for tariff reform Speuker. "The Speaker is the leader of th House. “There is no legislative body I know of where the leadership of tue speaker has greater recognition than in the House of Represeuta- tives.” Speaking of the administration, Mr. Hurd says: “Mr. Cleveland 1s exceedingly popular. No President in my day or generation has been ‘us popular among the people as he is. 1 kuow Tam not mistaken in ths, Lhave been right uimong the people. and know how they teel.

HE DEPRECATES THE CHANGE AT FORT MYER AND THINKS THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMIS- SION ACTED UNDER A MISAPPREHENSION— VALUE OF THE METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE— NEED OF A XEW BUILDING. The annual report ot Gen. W. B. Hazen, chief signal officer, to the Secretary of War was made ‘public to-day. Gen. Hazen states that the theoretical and practical instruction of the officers and enlisted men in the duties required of the signal corps in time ot war, atftt for the meteorological service, was continued at Fort Myer during the year. One of the chief advan- tages of maintaining Fort Myer as a school of instruction, he says, has been that men were being constantly instructed in military sig- nallug, and although these men may not re- main in the public service they are fuliy quall- fied toenter the military service as officers in case of war, He refers to the satisfactory re- sults of sending three small detachmenis for signaling purposes in Gen. Miles’ campaign against the Apaches. He is convinced that thorough instruction ‘cannot be given at any Post in the army where signaling 1s not the chief feature of instruction, and earnestly rec- ommends that the full force of the signal corps authorized by law be maintained, and that of this foree a company of at least threo officers and fitty men be stationed at Fort Myer, or at some other military post, and provided with a section of fully equipped field telegraph trains, for instruction aud experiment, HE REGRETS TH CHANGE AT FORT MYER. He expresses the opinion that the action of the Joint commission of Congress in securing the removal of Fort Myer from the charge of the signal service was done under a misconcep- ton ol the facts, and be fs confident that it is In conflict withthe best interests of the gov- ernment. Itis presumed that the action was taken upon whut was supposed would effect “economy and efficiency.” Fort Myer, he saye, was the most inexpensive feature of the signal servico, and a source of actual saving of many thousunds of dollars to the government. THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMISSION CRITICISED. ‘The maintenance of tuat post will cost the same In either case, he says, and adds: “The fifty men (which 4s less than the average that has been kept there the past twelve yeurs, a sunail per cent ut the depot of instruction at any military establishment) cost no more than common suidiers anywhere, or $15,000 a year, at $300 each. But now these men ut once receive commutation for fuel, tvod and quar- ters, indispensable allowances when soidiers are’not al a military post, amounting on an average to $812 a yeur each, or $40,600 betore they have leurned their duties, or’ can return any service to offset Unis cost. ‘Besides, by en- tering ip classes sem|-annually, as iormerly, the average strength of the corps was 485, saving $12,150, making a total in these two item aloe of $37,750. There were other items ot several thousand dullars a year saved by the old pian, which cannot be done now. ‘Tu offset tuts the cummission reduced the corps thirty wen, equaling in money $24,360. Thus, while depriving te service of Wuirty men, it really adued $18,360 to the cost of the service; wich fact I endeavored to explain to the cominis- sion, * * * The action of this comunission {enus to siop Instruction in military signuling bad 5 THE STATEMENT IN THE SENATE, that the action was based upon the testimony of the Heutenant geueral, that the army was doing this sufficiently well without the signal corps was, he suys,either erroneously made or the testimony was hot eXnuusuve, and"he reiers Lo the tact that Gen. Miles and ocher commanders in the fleld earnestly culled for detactiments of Signal service men, because the line of the army could not iurnish tem. “Phe law, both presumably and by tnaadate, makes tne chiet signal officer responsible for the efficiency of Us brauch of the military service, und it Would seem tbat tuis action ‘Is not in baymony with that luct, but bas largely deprived. f the jucilities for doing wuat the law 8.

TRE SATISFACTORY MANUFACTURE OF STEEL ORDNANCE IN THIS COUNTRY—ARMAMENT OF THE NAVAL VESSELS, ETC, The annual report of Commodore Sicard, chief of ordnance, to the Secretary of the Navy was made public to-day. ‘The amount expended during the year was $2,741,494, of which $1,500,000 was for the armament of vessels A considerable number of the 6-inch high” power steel guns have been finished and fired at the naval ordnance proving ground.

STEEL SHELLS WANTED, Nearly all the cast iron common shell for the use of the new steel cruisers have been cast and are largely completed, but cast iron is nota suitable metal for the manufacture of projec- Ules for use trom high power guns, as it has not the necessary strength and extersibility to sup- port sausfuctorfly the shock of striking ordin- ary targets. Ol course against armor plates it would be useless. For some years the bureau has been trying 40 obtain trom our steel makers some unuammered cast steel common sheil for use ugaiust unarmored ships. Several firms have presented castings, but none Lave thus far passed satisfactorily, being mostly porous or otherwise unsound. Efforts will be continued in this direction, for It is absolutely necessary to have a strouger metal to replace east iron for common shells, There is but little doubt that the artof muking solid steel castings will soon advance sufficiently to enable us to overcome the difficulties that have thus far presented themselves in this matter, THE ARMAMENT OF THE NEW CRUISERS, For the new ships approaching completion we have eighteen 6-Inch and three 8-inch and two 5-inch guns finished, aud three 6-inch and five 8-inch well advanced, togetier with all the car- rlages for the AUlanta and Boston, and all for the Chicago except the S-Inch.

In the preparations tor the erection of the Con- gres-lonal Library building some buildings are being removed which ave historical interets. These are the massive brick houses on the eust side of 1st, between East Capitol and A strects soutueast, known as Carroll Row. These lots were, by the Commissioners who laid out the city on Ociober 10, 1792, alloted to Daniel Carroy, of Duddington, ONE yP THEORIGINAL PROPRIETORS, who iu 179¥ erected the row which has since borne his home. Prior to the war of 1812 the bu.idings were used for residences. Dr. Ewell, once @ leading physician ot the District, lived there for many-years. At that time not only did Congress meet at the Capitol, but also the Supreme Court ot tue United Siates and the courts of the District. ‘This was to some exteut the busi seks part of theeity, for the Bank of Washingtom was then located south of the Capitol.

Subsequently other arrangements were made for the contrabands, and it was used as an an- nex to the Old Capitol prison till some months alter the war.
