Tne Sra has had prepared for circulation in connection with the approaching inaugural ceremonies an accurately-drawn, clearly- engraved and well-printed Map of Washington, which is in many respects the best and most satisfactory topographical representation of the National Capital that has ever been pub- lished. It shows every street, avenue, park, circle and reservation in the city; all the public buildings and institutions in the city and suburbs; all the principal statues and other objects of general interest to citizens and strangers; all the steam-railway, horse- car and herdic lines, and indicates also the route of the inaugural procession on Monday | next. It is 18x24 inches in size, or about the dimensions of a page of Tue Sran, being large enough to be easily studied, and yet of convenient proportions for mailing or mount- ing, as may be desired. An edition of 100,000 copies of this map has been provided, and a copy of it will be supplied Sree with every copy of the mammoth 16-page edition of Tux Srar issued on Saturday next, whether delivered to regular subscribers, sup- plied to news stands and news boys, or sold over the counter in the business office that day. A copy will also be included with each issue of the phenomenal edition of Tue Star sola on on Monday, but not with the last edition of the paper served to regular subscribers that day,— they having already received their copy with Saturday's issue. visit the city at that time a souvenir of the na- tion’s capital which will recall pleasant mem- ories after they have returned to their homes, and will at the came time be useful to all, whether residents or strangers, for future refer- ence.

Nava OFFICERS AND THE CaBrineT.—The pub- lished statement to the effect that the line off- cers of the navy held a meeting Wednesday with a view of advancing the interests of Hon, John R. Thomas as a candidate for the naval portfolio in Gen. Harrison’s cabinet, has created great surprise among officers stationed in this cit A prominent line officer told a Srar reporter that the story was utterly untrue and bad no foundation, that there was no meect- ing nor any idea of holding one. The published statement made it to be understood that the staff of the navy is generally opposed to Mr. Thomas. This also was denied to-day. ‘The paragraph was unfortunate,” said a staff officer to the reporter. “We have no thought of either promoting or disparaging the chances of any candidate for a cabinet position. The whole staff will, Lam sure, unite in denouncing, asa calumny, the charge that they propose taking any’ part whatever in any political scheme or movement.” A Disrricr Birt Sianep,—The President has approved the act to amend the laws relating to the selection and services of jurors in the Dis- trict of Columbia.

The credentials of Mr. Kenna for his new senatorial term were presented, read and placed on file. SUGAR FRAUDS, A long communication from the Secretary of the Treasury in response to a Senate resolution ealling for reports as to sugar frands and undorvaluations of merchants at New York and other ports was preseuted. read in part and referred to the committee on the operation of the civil service law. CONFERENCE REPORTS AGREED TO, The conference report on the bill to divide a portion of the Sioux reservation in Dakota into separate reservations was presented and agreed to. (The disagreement has been, Mr. Dawes said, principaliy as to boundaries.) Also the conference report on the biil for the relief of certain volunteer and regular soldiers of the late war and the war with Mexico (as to removal of charges of desertion). Also the conference report on THE BILL TO FORFEIT CERTAIN RAILROAD LANDS, Mr. Edmunds asked Mr. Plumb (who made the conference report) to explain it. Mr. Plumb said that the bill (as far asagreed to in conference) was in almost the precise a shape in which it passed the Senate—with this qualification, that the conference bill contains a provision for the entry the homestead law only in favor of ersons now settled on the lands to be forfeited. For the purpose of arrangement, the order of the sectiens had been changed, and there was a provision inserted requiring the Attorney-Gen- eral to bring a suit to determine the question as to certain lands, which bad been first held by the land office to be the property of the Northern Pacific railroad company and bad been afterward held to be public land, and which had been sold by the Northern Pacitic railroad company. With these exceptions, the Dill was in the precise shape (for all essential purposes) as when it passed the Senate. Mr. Edmunds—What is the substance of the provision as to the point of time when the for- feiture is to take place? THE QUESTION STILL AT ISSUE. Mr. Plumb—That question is still at issue be- tween the two houses. The Senate conferees | insisted on the position heretofore taken by | the Senate—that the forfeiture shall only take | effect as to lands lying opposite the uncom- pleted portions of the road. All the other pro- visions are mere matters of detail. Mr. Sherman—The matter is so important that I think the report ought to be printed be- fore the Senate is called upon to vote on it. Mr. Morgan—I think so, too. Mr. Dolph (another of the conferees) sug- gested that the report could be explai ‘ bill passed by the Senate had- been (he said) thoroughly considered in the Senate. The House ed a substitute for the Senate bill. After the conference come to a partial agreement the House conferees receded from ail of the substitute except the first section and agreed to all bill except the first section. That first section was as to the extent of the forfeiture, and that question was still open. The question was as to whether the forfeiture was to extend to all the lands granted for rail- road purposes when the road was not com- uated witht the time fixed by the charter (as under the House substitute), or only to lands adjacentto the uncompleted portions of the roads (as provided in the Senate bill). In reply toa remark by Mr. Edmunds that | the bill seemed to give additional homestead rights, Mr. Dolph said that there was nothing in the bill which gave additional homestead or preemption rights. | After further discussion the report was laid aside informally until it could be printed. THE DISTRICT MILITIA BILL. On motion of Mr. Hawley the Senate receded from its amendment to the House bill in regard | | trict of Columbia, and the bill has now passed | both houses. THE DEFICIENCY BILL | propriations, and notice was given by Mr. Hale | that he would ask to have it taken up as soon as printed. PROTECTION OF ALASKAN FISHERIES. Mr. Sherman, from the committee on foreign relations, reported back the Senate bill for the protection of the salmon fisheries in Alaska, witha recommendation that the House amend- ment (extending the provisions of the bill to Behring’s sea) be disagreed to. Mr. Morgan, a member of the committee, said that the question involved in the amend- ment was of such serious and important char- acter that the committee on foreign relations wouldn't undertake to pronounce that kind of | Judgment upon it which was due to its magni- | “Mr, Sherman added that the committee [on foreign relations was of opinion that. ‘while there was no objection to - En of lands under! without the necessity of having it printed.

The excitement manifested for several days past consequent upon the ccllapse of Pigott on cross-examina- | tion and his flight had subsided and the pro- | ceedings were conducted quietly. The court refuséd to allow Mr. Houston, secretary of the Irish loyal and patriotic union, to make a per- sonal statens or to hand to the courta writ | ten document, on the ground that the time was inconvenient. Messrs. O'Kelly, Davitt amd Campbell, Mz. Parneil’s secretary, swore that they did met | write the letters ascribed to them by Pigott) | Mr. Justin McCarthy also testified. He de nied that he had hed an interview with Pigott, Mr, Lewis. solicitor for Mr. Parnell, testified that he told Pigott that the letters not being negotiable he could not be prosecuted for forgery, but was liable to prosecution for ob- taining money under fale pretences, Witness jared thathe had not promised Pigott @ | farthing.
