MATTHEWS HOLDS THE FORT. ‘The Recorder Still in Office—Questions Raised by Lawyeru. ‘The members of the bar are considerably divided in opinion as to the oMice of recorder of deeds, owing to the rejection of Mr. Matthews. some claim that the office is now legally vacant, and ‘such instruments as are now placed on record are of no legal effect, and that it will be necessary to have Congress pass an enabling act to legalize them. On the other hand it is claimed that it is the duty of the recorder to continue on duty till his successor 1s appointed, in order that the busi- hess interests of the District should be protected; and that, should there be no one appointed and confirmed, he can legally hold the office until after the {ourauren’ of the Senate. While much can be said in favor of Mr. tthews continulag to sign his name as recorder of deeds, some are doubt- Tul on the subject, and have adopted the rule only Vo place on record such papers as it is imperative, to file for the protection of property interests. £ When a Stak reporter broached the subject to Mr. Matthews, who was in charge of his office and. the work going on as usual this morning, he de- clined to say anything about it, saying he did not Want to be interviewed. A colored friend of Mr. Matthews who was present remarked that any person who raised such questions did not know What the law was, If there were no recorder, he said, there would be no deputy, and the oitice would have to be closed and business entirely sus- pended. DISMISSED COPYISTS, ‘Three copyists in the office were dropped yester- day and it 1s sald a number of others will soon go. Mr. Matthews, speaking of these changes, sald they had nothing whatever to do with his rejec- tion by the Senate. “The fact ts,” he sald, “these copyists Would have to be dropped whether I cone Unued in office or not. ‘They are pteve-workers, and when there 1s no work for them to do of cours¢ they are not employed. When work comes in iney will come back, The work of the office 1s all up to date. ‘This 1s the dui! season In the office; theres Nttié work to do, and of course there are fewer copyists needed than usual.” a ‘The Humphreys Court Martial. ‘THE SENTENCE OF THE COURT REMITTED BY TRE DIVISION COMMANDER.

Mr. Edmunds, in presenting a memorial from Manufacturers and business men in Vermont for a repeal or reduction of tuternal revenue taxes, Said that many such petitions had been presented. In presenting this one and moving Its reference to the committee on finance, he wished to urge on that committee the importance of the subject of re- ducing, if not altogether repealing, this remnant Of the “unpleasantness of UWwenty-live years ago. He should be giad to see the country restored 10 Such business ‘conditions as had existed before | Unat time, and to have the resources of the gov~ | Mment obtained entirely from tmnportations and the littie incidental matters of land, &c., instead of keeping up an army of internal’ revenue tax gatherers, inspectors sind all that sort of thing.

The most important amendment strikes out the words “place where pools. are sold,” so that the Jockey Club grounds at Ivy City may not be in- terfered with. ‘The bifl has been published in THe Stax. It pro- hibits, under rigid and severe penalties, the selling or giving Of Hquors to minors, and provides that imiuors shall not be permitted to even enter drink- ing saloons | | rooms and stich places. Senator Blackbura objected to any language that might embarrass the Jockey club at their regular meetings.

His Dramatic Scoring of His Late Col- leagues Before the Commons. Special Cable Dispatch to Tar: EVESING Stan, Lonpos, Jan. 28.—When I said parliament would meet in a fog I meant Intellectuals, but the worst fog of the s and the complete failure of Smith as a leader of the commons added greatly to tie dejection in which Goschen’s defeat left the tories. Besides, ‘Churehiil’s speech was very cleverly delivered and mnuch of it very wanmly received by the liberals, Altogether he is considered to have scored off his old colleagues. After the usual grotesque proceed- ings of opening parliament in te iouse of lords, ‘the commons rapidly filled. During the two hours of formal business preceding Churchill's rising,the chamber was almost as full 2s on any exciting 0c- easton of the last session, Tue reading of the cor- Tespondence between himself and Lord Salisbury WAS INTENSELY DRAMATIC, the letters having evidently been written with a view to being read in the house, where every Hitle thrust and sarcastic touch was highly appre- ciated. Churchill's enumeration of is figures of departmental scandals—the faflure of the commis sariatin Egypt, brittle swords, bent bayonets, jammed cartridges, lange sums Spent by the ad- miralty in 1885 without the knowledge of the treasury, and apparently without its own; the total failure of three of Uke most expensive | war ships, the Ajax, Agamemnon and Empress, the recent bursting of several guus with the aliega- Uons of corruption which followed—produced a deep impression, failing as they did on the liberals and tories alike. THE WEAK POINT IN THE SPEECH Was his objection to the defense couling stations, which botis parties regard as a national necessity. This was received with universal disapproval, The reference to foreign policy Was extremely Out= spoken and was enthustastically cheered by the Mverals, Gladstone almost. rising to applaud. It 4s many years since the policy of non-Iniervention has been preached in such Words by so a member of parilament. He said: “I feel q Certain our foreign poilcy of the present moment ought to be retul policy. Ido bot mean that kind of peace Which is the fattering phrase of | platform orations, but a genuine, effective PEACEFUL FOREIGN POLICY, Which should be,tuarked by the absence of unne- cessary initiative, by an indisposition to interfere too promptly in European affairs, in fact, a policy of that character which should approach more nearly the dotnain of nou-intervention. On these polnts I hold the strongest possible opinions. Ido HOU See my Way to altar Uose opiuions.” ICIS felt by everyone that the point at issie between Churchill and Salisbury Was not one of finance, Dut of struggle between THE OLD AND NEW TORYISM. ‘The truth is expressed in a sentence in Church- U's letter, saying: “The character of the domes- Uc legislation which the government contem- plates in my opinion falis sadly short of what par- Uament and the country expect and, require.” Already signs of rallying round Churchia ate, vis- tie. “Morning Post, for instance, say's: “The oMicial is sacrificed, but the member of parlia- ment, the popular tribune, will be more alite than ever. So great was the desire to discuss Chureh- } All's Speech that members assembled at once in the | lobby, leaving Gladstone to speak In a Uhin house. He seémed very Well, not even lusky, despite the tog. He spoke very gracerully and Incisively, especially upon Salisbury’ ~ unconstitutional union of the office of prime iuinister’and foreign THE DILEMMA OVER GOSCHEN. ‘There will be no petition from Liverpool, as Goschen must be got into the house at once.
