Civil Service Commissioner Edgerton, who was absent from Washington when the new rules gov- erning promotions were adopted, was asked by a Star reporter to-day what he thought of those regulations. “They are all right,” he responded; “and I heartily approve them.” it nas beon sald,” siigested Tarr Stan reporter, “that they were devised to get rid of republicans.” “That is not true,” sald the commissioner, “These rules will not turn out any clerk. If any clerk shall lose his place in consequence of them it illbe nis own tault. The principle is right, and if the argument presented by the Commission to the President, when we asked for the adoption of the rules, had been published in full, no inlscon. ception Would ever have arisen. ‘That argument would have made the purpose of the rules plain to gverybody. As Ihave salt, the principle is right, ‘That is conceded by every friend of civil service re form. ‘The regulations are entirely within the control of the Commission, and can be changed at, any time; go that should any mfstake occur or any’ defect be discovered that could readily be reme- died. At present the rules apply only to the War Department. I know that they are right in prin- ciple and time, and their operation will convince everybody else. 200 Mr. Corcoran Doing Quite Well. THAT I3 WHAT DR. LINCOLN SAYS OF HIS CONDITION ‘TO-DAY. ‘Mr. Corcoran was restless last night, on account of being tired of his bed, but his condition was Jnst as favorable this morning as yesterday. Mr. Matthews, Mr. Brice, and Mr. Willie Eustis took turns sitting up with him during the night. Drs. Lincoln and Hagner made their first morning cail about 11 o'clock, and were with the patient some ne. “Sir: Limcotn sald to a Stan re ter, Immediately after leaving the sick room, that the patient was quite as well as ne was yesterday, hat he Was sitting up. He had got tured of'Iying in bed, and did not sleep ag well during the night, but hé had no fever, and his symptoms were not tnfavor- abie. ‘There Was nothiug, the doctor suid, to make them expect any change’for the worse. ‘The want, of sensation In his arm and leg continued, but he Still had freedom of motion, Altogether, the doc- tor thought he was doing quite well, SLIGHTLY BETTER THIS AFTERNOON. ‘Mr. Corcoran is supposed to be slightly better this afternoon. Z —— ‘The Missing Capt. Howgate. NOT THE DUTY OF THE WAR DEPARTMENT TO FIND HIM, BUT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. Every now and then somebody in or out of the Signal Service revives the report that Capt. How- gate could have been éasily captured long ago, bad the War Department desired his prosecution: aud that he is living in this country under the pro- tection of prominent persons who are desirous that he shall remain free. “No denial of the latter Part of the report ts attempted, but War Depart. ment ofiicials reassert that the capture of Howgate has not been the duty of the War Deparumel since bis escape, after arrest, for he was not an Army ofiicer, but a prisoner in the hands of the Department of Ju “I don’t suppose Secretary Endicott has given a jomenvs thought to the matter since he came to Vasbington,” said an Army ofticer toa Stax re— Porter to-day, “because there has been nothing to call his attention to it. ‘The Secretary of War nothing more to do with hunting out Howgate than the Postmaster-General would have in play- ing detective to ind a postal clerk who had been arrested ten years ago for rifling the mails and ‘then escaped from his captors, “Nevertheless we all know that Secretary Lincoln nearly worried himself sick in endeavoring to follow a clue to Howgate’s whereabouts, when he found one, though it was not strictly his business. Howgate Was not an Army officer, and ‘therefore the War Department has nothing’ further to do with him.” Society Notes, Mrs. Whitney is entertaining friends at Grass- lands this afternoon.

BLAINE OR SHERMAN?—CLEVELAND OR HILL?—THE REPRESENTATIVE THINKS NEW YORK WILLGO DEMO- ORATIC THIS FALL. Representative Merriman, of New York, has ‘been in the city for two or three days. He tolda ‘Stak reporter, who met him this morning, that he thought the democrats would carry the State of ‘New York at the elections this fall of secretary of state, Heutenant-governor and other State of- ficers, The republicans, ne says, are in very bad ‘shape on accountof the position they have taken on the prohibition question, and the blunders they have made in tho legislature, He expects the democrats to win, and says it will have a good effect for the Presidential year. He says there is very litéle political talk in New York just now, but that there is a very bitter fight going on qitetly among the New York repub- licans over Sherman and Blaine. ‘The Blaine men and the Sherman men are struggling pretty hard for supremacy, and it is causing quite a commo- ‘tion in the inner circles, though they keep up an external appearance of serenity. He says it 18 hard to judge what will be the outcome. He says it looks now as if Cleveland would be the demo- cratic candidate in ’8s. He did not know whether Hill would be a candidate for nomination or not. ‘There 1s a difference of opinion among his friends. Some say he will be a candidate and will get the New York del gee others of his close friends ‘say he will not be a candidate at all. Speaking of the outlook tn Con; coming session, he says that he thinks there will be a reduction of the revenue this winter. He thinks that the tobacco tax will be repealed, and that there will be some concessions made and a Teduction of the tariff. +oo_____ Promotions in the Treasury Depart- ment.

PREPARING TO LEAVE THE WOODS TO-MORROW AP- ‘TERNOON. ‘The President will get his last full day of flahing at Saranac Lake to-day. His arrangements for leaving the woods are completed, and will be car- ried out to-morrow. He went off yesterday morn- ing to make an effort to catch a fish big enough to match the 23-pounder presented to him by alucky fisherman Monday. He used only the largest bait, and trolled with 250 feet of line in deep water, but caught nothing. Col. Lamont caught two good- sized trout, aud Dr. Kossman three. Thursday afternoon the party will be driven to Paul Smith’s Station, by way of Paul Smith's Hotel, and at the ‘station will find awaiting them the 8 lal train that brought them to the woods. The run to Albany will be by way of the Vermont Central Railroad, arriving in that city at an hour early Friday morning. The President will accept the invitation of Gov. Hill, and he and his party will breakfast at the executive mansion, on Eagle street. After a stay of three hours the journey to Washington will be resumed, and it 13 expected that the party will reach the’ E} itive Mansion during Friday evening. There will be no public reception Lo the President at Albany. GOING BACK AGAIN. A dispatch to the New York Herald says: ‘The President had hoped to leave the woods via Paul Smith's station by what is known as the “Nine Carry route.” This meant in effect the embarking in boats at this point and crossing the nine “car- ries” which separate this number of lakes and ponds between here and the terminus of the Adi- Tondack Ryilway. The trip is ordinarily a deiight- ful and romantic on ‘The “carries” are sho and extend through dense forests of birch ant hemlock, Which at this season are unusually invit- ing and cool. The biack files, however, which mar to some extent the pleasure of summering in the Adirondacks, are particularly troublesome at this Ume, and for this reason the trip was abandoned and buckboards substituted instead. It is not im- able that Mrs. Cleveland may return to the t House in July and remain here until the latter August. If pousibie the President: wit ‘at that time and spend the first two Weeks of September In hunting. Both will leave the woods in time to attend the Grand Army re- union in St. Louls laterinthe month. Possibly these plans may receive some jnodification ag tue season advances, but at present they have been Practically determined upon. ees, Funeral of Ex-Vice-President Wheeler. All the business houses at Malone, N. Y., were closed at noon yesterday asa mark of respect to the memory of the late ex-Vice-President Wheeler, whose funeral occurred there in the afternoon. ‘The body was removed from the house to the ves- Ubule of the Congregational church at 10 o'clock, where it was viewed by hundreds of people until the hour of the funeral—1 o’clock—arrived. The pall-bearers were D. W. Lawrence, H. A. Taylor, C. . Gleason, Win. A. Short, Thomas R. Kane, andJ. J. Seaver, Old friends of Mr. Wheeler. The largo auditorium was draped with crape and national fags, and a wreath of flowers adorned every ap- eee Place, At the conclusion of an interest- ing and impressive ceremony the funeral cortege was formed, and, under escort of the 27th Separate Company, it welded its way to the beautiful cem- etery east Of the village.

Mrs, Blaine visited Mrs. Gen. Wm. T. Sherman. Mr. Blaine’s most prominent caller last night was Congressman Wm. Walter Phelps, of New Jersey, who left about 9 o'clock. At 8 o'clock the Misses Blaine, accompanied py Mr. and Mrs. James G. Blaine, jr., left the hotel aud went to the Lyceum ‘Theater. Mr. Blaine passed a very busy day. He arose early and found the cardsof political friends in his room. It was his intention not to receive any but his most particular friends and to make his escape downtown before 10 o'clock, where he had private business to attend to before taking his departure. Ex-Collector Wm. H. Robertson Was the first of his friends to shake his hand. The two were in conversation for half an hour. Gen. Anson G.

Along the river front this morning many people Were straining their eyes tocatch a view of the Deautiful steam yacht, with its rakish rig, lying below the Arsenal point. The vessel is 347 feet Jong, and her captain anchored her down stream, where she would have plenty of water to swing around in. she is manned by a crew of fifty men, ail told, and, as one of the officers told a Stan re- Porter,’ 1s’ in full trim to take a long ocean’ voyage at very short notice. “We do not know Where we are going,” said the officer. “We get our orders from day to’ day.” After the ‘steam launch with Mr. Gould aboard came ashore another steam launch came up to the city from the steamer.

Boston’s Master Builders Kick. AN ADDRESS THREATENING A GENERAL LOCKOUT IN DEPENSE OF THE LIBERTY OF NON-UNION WORK- MEN. A telegram to the New York Sun from Boston says that another great struggle between the master builders and their employes which may extend through the country is threatened. The master builders have decided to bring certain matters in controversy to a decisive issue at once, ‘and the compact made with the employes’ union in April for the current season 1s likely to be abandoned, The chief. ground for mute 4s the action of several unions in the bulld- ing trades, which have | demanded the charge of non-union employes. Many small strikes have been thus caused, but. the untons in most cases have steadfastly maintained thelr position. ‘The master buildera have thor- ougly perfected thetr national and there 1s authority for 1ey will’ soon force this iasue to a conclusion.

The rule-o'-thumb failure of last year, the Atlan- Uc, which never captured a cup before, beat the Priscilla over the 38-mile course by 16 minutes and 41 seconds, and vanquished Lieut. Henn’s cutter, the Galatea, which tried to take away our cherished cup last season, by 23 minutes and 37 seconds, The feature of the regutta was the wonderful performance of Mr. J. Koger Maxwell's Shamrock. If she had been classed. with the giants she would, with time allowance, have safled away from all of them. Even as it was, she knocked out the Galatea by 10 minutes and 55 seconda, and surprised the Corinthians on the Priscilla by leav- ing them 5 minutes and 38 seconds astern at the finish.
