Tue U. 8.8, KEARSARGE,which has just been inspected at Portsmouth, N.H., alter returning from the European squadron, has been ordered out of commission, and all her officers were de- tached to-day. THe Navy MeEpicat, SERVICE. —Surgeon General F. M.Gunnel, in his annual report, Tecommends an increased appropriation for the preservation and repair of the naval hospitals. lans for a permanent hospital building at Widows’ island to receive patients trom in- fected vessels ot the North Atlantic squadron have been prepared, aud it is recomended that asuitable approplation be made to begin the work of construction. ‘The surgeon general says it is impossibie with the present induce- ments offered to tind young medical men with the necessary qualifications who are disposed to become medical officers of the navy. The army bas no trouble in filling its medical corps beeduse of better pay and more satisfactory Professional position. During the year 8,429 patients were admitted for treatment, fitty-two of whom died. Ng@var Cavers Fife and Clinton, who were tred by court martial at Annapolis in Sep- tember last, have been reinstated in their class, which Indigates that the procecdings against them were quashed. Montana WANTS TO Bg A STATE.—Montana 4s anxious for statehood. A committee of citi: zens at Helena are getting up a strong memo- Fil w Congress, and will come to Washington in person to press the claim, GEN. AUGUR’S ASSAILANT. Sentenced to Three Years in Albany Penitentiary. The case of Wm. Pope, colored, convicted of an assault and battery with intent to Kill Gen. . C. Augur in August last, was taken up in the Criminal Court to-day, and the motion fora ‘new trial was argued by Mr. T. F, Miller .or the defendant, The motion was overruled. When called up for sentence the district at- torney said he deemed it his duty to call atten- tion to Pope's reputation as a dangerous man; to his proneness for using deadly weapons. He had an oflicer present who knew him. Miller. other officers have been is pistols indiscriminately in the streets of West Washington. ‘Mr. Miller tuen asked thatthe court iook at this “as a new case and cousider the testimony. ‘The court suid that he would treat the case as the first offense, and imposed @ sentence of three years in the penitentiary. THE SOLDIERS’ HOME. Annual Report of the Board of Com- missioners. THE NUMBER OF INMATES OF THE HOME IN- CREASING, BUT THE FUNDS DIMINISHING— GOVERNMENT AID NEEDED To KEEP THE ROADS IN CONDITION—A PROPOSED ANREX. ‘The annual report of Gen, Sheridan, as presi- dent of the board of commissioners of the Sol- diers’ Home, shows that the number of regular inmates of the home September 30, 1885, was 785; admitted and readmitted during the year, 310, making a tota! of 1,095. Ninety-three were discharged during the year on thelr own request, 30 suspended, 28 dropped for absence without leave and froin “outdoor relief,” 5 dis- missed, 4 abandoned the home and 41 died, leaving 804 recelving the benefits on Septem- ber 30, 1886. There were 197 temporary admissions during the year, nearly all for the purpose of awaiting the examination of their eases for regular admission. There were 52 such inmates September 30, 1886, making the total number at the home, 9,460. ‘The num- ber of u:unes added to the register during the year by regular admission and for “outdoor relief” was 208, which is 14 more than any ‘other yeur since tue establishment of the home. Two hundred and thirty-one members are al- lowed to make their residence elsewhere and are paid un allowance, called “outdoor reliel,” not exceeding $8 per month, THE INCOMES OF THE HOME DIMINISHING. A very large amount of money remains due the home from the old unsettled accounts in the Treasury department. ‘he currentincome, ‘part irom the interest upon the reserve iund, ppears to be diminishing. This income is tue deduction of 1244 cents per month from the bay of each svidier, and the stoppages, fines, forieitures, trom mouth to month, on the ac: coants of the pay departmenc ot the army, In 1884 the amount derived was $128,026.05; 1n 1585, $122,528.91; While Jn the winount was $87,704.34—a decrease of $37,573.44 from the average of the two preceding years, ‘The com missioners are unable to explain the cause, Toasmueh as the army has been nosmaller and the amount of pay no less, it must, therefore, atiributed to the’ settlements in the Treasury departinent being less in humber, or” of uccounts covering shorter Periods, or fewer payments to the army. The fact remains that, in order to maintain the home during the year the cur- rent incoie had to be supplemeited by over $47,000 from the reserve fund. It is suggested that an agreement be made between tue pay department and the. Treasury department, s0 that the former may ascertain and certify the moUunLs due the home before the accounts pass to the latter for final settlement, HOME PRODUCTS. Itisshown that the value of the farm and dairy products exceeded the expenses of those departments, making a profit to the home of $4,806.60, while the account with the gardens Si0Ws a bulance against the department meet- ing the ornamental expenses of $1,647.99. BUSINESS OF INMATES. ‘The amount paid to individual pensioners during tne year was $46,534.83. The commis~ sioners deem it {utile to secure @ modification of existing law, regarding the paymentot large pensions to men Who have wil their wants sup- piled by the home, but it should be remarked Uyut @ sum of money almost equal to one-fourth of the expenses of tue home 1s not only to 1n- mutes, Lue Iost of whom have litte profitable use for it, but an officer of the home is obliged to be the'custodian of the funds and to periorm & great amount of labor in keeping individual accounts. No building operations were carried on during the year aud uo real estate was pur- chased, ‘Sull further space, A LANGE ANNEX TO THE MAIN BUILDING, for cooking and messing, as well as for dorinl- tories, is demanded by the increased number of nmates, and plans have been adopted and are now bellig proposed, with estimates, tor a la: @xtensiow t tie inain building, whten will cee bout $150,000. At the lust montuly meeting the commissioners authorized the governor oF the home to place inmates in the Duliding here- tolore reserved as « summer residence {01 ae Presideot. ‘This wus necessary in order a Te lieve overcrowded quarters. AN APYEAL TO CONGRESS FOR AID. ‘The Commissioners urge that a strong appeal be made to Congress for some measure of reliet by an appropriation to keep up the repains to roadbeds, bridges, gutters, &c., for about ten mniles’ length of drives inthe ume grounds. ‘The grounds have become a necessity as a re- Sort, Not only for the people of Washington, but for ‘the multitude of visiting strangers: It Would be unwise and @ deprivation to the peo- ple of Wasuington toclose the grounds, and the ‘expense ought not longer to be imposed upon the overtaxed Income of the home. ‘1uere can be Du doubt, says Gen. Sueridan, of the propriety of ah appropriation, Its usé in maintaining a public privilege of the most acceptable King is abundant reason for granting it. Sore particu- Jar information can be given with respect to the amount required and the special uses to be made of it at the Lime of legislation. ‘The Diplomatic and Consulat Estimates.

He hud in his possession a slip oi paper about a yard in length, on Which he had pasted a num- ber of portraits taken from some illustrated Paper, each one being designated as that of some’ prominent physician. He also had a picture of a buildiug inarked as his office in aitimore, He would exbibit this paper, which contained a list of prizes, and would sell a bottle of medicine tor $1.

WHAT IS SAID ON DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE QUESTIO: Agentleman, whois a property owner in Le Droit Park, and who visited the Commissioners’ office yesterday, represented that the action of the association, refusing to take down the fence, was not tile action of a majority of prop- erty owners. It was passed, he said, by a vote of 14 to. ‘The owners in favor of taking down the fence and having the streets in the park adopted as public thoroughfares uure twenty-iour In number and own tour-fifth: of the property, while those opposed are four- teen in number. There are two owners whose opinions are not known. This view of the case wiil be presented ina communteation to the Commissioners. ‘The owners who voted against taking down the fence maintain thai they are entiuled to im- provements, as they pay large taxes, even if the ience reinains, They assert that tae plat Tecorded reserving to the owners control of the streets Is in foree. They want the improvements and want the fence too.

Special Cable Dispatch to THe EVENtNe Stan Loxpox, Nov. 29.—Coercion is back again, and in all probability afew days will see Par- nellite anembers in prison. Reduced to its simplest form the government procedure,which is precisely that formerly taken aguinst Messrs, Healy and Davitt, amounts to offering Dillon a choice of holding his tongue or going to prison. He will, of course, promptly accept the latter ulternative, Then O'Brien, who has left by the mail train to join Dillon in Sligo, trom whose ceaseless brain the ideaof the plan of campaign Was evolved, will denounce the government in United Iretand, which will be suppressed. By this time Parnell will be compelled to appear upon the scene in defense of his lieutenants and to take the leadership in the struggle, If the government venture to arrest him THERE WILL BE WAR, Indeed, it is difficult to see how they can avoid it. Such is the generally accepted forecast. As this so-called “pian of campaign” is the kernel of the whole dispute, { may explain it once more.

It is worth special notice that the charge against Dillon makes no reference to bis speeches at Wooodward on the Clanricarde es tate, although these were much more violent, which seems to indicate the intention of thé government to be to intertere only with this plan, as adopted against reasonable and lable iandiords. ‘Speaking at a meecung, Mr. Dillon said yesterday: “fait an hour ago, @ detective irom Dublin handed me a process. ‘That is the biow. ‘The blow has been struck, but Iam still here, So much for the great blow the government has struck here w-aay. There was a great deal of talk about it, but it has done noone any harm. believe it is about all they can do. Will, in spite of these grand legal doc- uments, we shall continue to go around and advise the peopic to take their stand. now or never for fair rents and free | homes.” O'Brien, Who followed him, concluded by say- ing, *We-will live through this as we lived through former bouts of coercion. promise you When ali is over in this campaign ‘we will be the victors, The cowardly, ly pocritical, sniveiling tory government will be hurled irom power and hurled trom Ireland by tne united Yoicoand strength ofthe democrais ot England, Scotland and Wales.” ‘COMMENTS OF THE PRESS, Press comments on the action of the govern- ment are all very guarded. The conservative papers donot venture to support it with their usual party vigor. ‘The tiberai papers do not attempt to defend the so-called “pian of com- paign.” The most important comment is the following trom eononist: “The government is not out of the woods yet in Ireland.
