Wilson has been appointed postmaster at Crockett depot, Wythe county, Va., and Nancy D. Stimson at Hanaker, Russell county, Va. Leacur Istaxp Navy-Yanp.—Representative Harmer, of Philadelphia, called upon Secretary Tracy to-day to urge that gunboats No. 3 and No. 4, now building at Cramp's, be completed at the League Island navy-yard, after all of the work required at the hands of the contractors is finished. If the suggestion is accepted the navy-yard will furnish the new vessels, as well as to supply them with boats, blocks, stoves, &c. The Representative also took advantage of the opportunity to make a strong plea for the improvement of the League Island navy- yard. He finally arranged with Secretary Tracy that he should go over to Philadelphia Friday week, remain over night and on the following Saturday make a personal examina- tion of the League Island navy-yard. Army Onpers. —Lieut.-Col. Richard F, O'Beirne, fifteenth infantry, has been relieved from duty in connection with the recruiting service and ordered to his station.in partment of Dakota. Leave of sbsonge ‘| three months on account of disability has been granted Capt. Chas. B, Western, fourteenth infantry. ALL Quiet ox tHe Istamvs.—Under date of Aspinwall, 15th inst., Capt. Howell, of the Atlanta, informs the Navy department that there is no longer any danger of rioting or in- surrection on the isthmus. The destitute laborers‘are of smaller number than has been reported, and all are quietly taking advantage of the transportation offered by their govern- ments. Only about seventy-five had been shipped by the United States consul, who con- sidered that there was no longer any likelihood of trouble. PRETENDING TO BE A SPECIAL PeNston Exam- InER.—The commissioner of pensions has been advised that A. L. Dutry has been arrested at Marietta, Ohio, on a charge of falsely pretend- ing to be a special examiner of the pension bu- reau, He was taken to Parkersburg, W. Va., and lodged in jai’ Tue Late Mr. Justice Matraews.—There will be a meeting of the bar at 12 o'clock m, on Saturday, the 30th March, instant, in the Su- preme Court room, to take action with refer- ence to the death of Mr. Justice Matthews. Tue Yonxtowy’s Detai.—A good deal of pressure is being brought to bear by naval of- ficers to secure assignments to the new gun- boat, Yorktown, which is soon to go into com- mission. While this is generally the case upon the completion of a new vessel the Yorktown holds out superior indacements, because of her fine officers’ quarters and gencrally good quali- ties. It is the present understanding that she will be commanded by Commander Chadwick, ay attached to the American legation in Lon- jon. Seuectixc a Sire ror a SovutHern Navy- Yaxrp.—The commission, consisting of Commo- adore W. P. McCann, Capt. Rob’t Boyd, Lieut.- Commander W. H. Brownson, and Lieut. Dun- can Kennedy, charged with selecting a site for a navy-yard on the Atlantic or gulf coast, ar- rived at Mobile, Ala., from Pensacola, Sunday, andspent Monday in receiving reports prepared by commercial bodies upon the suitability of Mount Vernon, on the Alabama river, for a navy-yard. The commission was given avery warm reception, Senator Morgan and Repre- sentative A. Herbert and. delegations from Selma and Montgomery assisting. The com- mission will visit Mount Vernon to-day and go to New Orleans Tuesday afternoon. Nava Nores.—Ensign P. J. Werlich has been transferred from the Enterprise to the Lancaster.—Lieut. F, W. Coffin has been transferred from the Lancaster to the Enter- rise. ‘The training ship Constellation left ‘t.

Tuz Report ox THE YorktTowN APPROVED.— The Secretary of the Navy has approved the re- port of the trial board of the Yorktown, and the vessel, including her fittings, excepting the electric-lighting vant, will be epred, sub- ject to the official reserve of $20,000 and toa further reservation of $5,000, to be held until the lighting plant be completed and tested.

The Senate immediately after the reading of Saturday's journal proceeded to the ep as tion of executive business, NOMINATIONS TO-DA’ Territorial Governors, U. S.

The evidence from Arizona, depended upon by the originators of the charges against Lewis Wolfly, nominated to be governor of Arizona, to sustain their allegations, has been received and laid before the committee on territories. There is good authority for saying that the committee attach no weight to the evidence, and that this afternoon or to-morrow will recommend confirmation of his nomination. TOM OCHILTREE SHOCKED. He Has an Adventure in a Post-Office Department Elevator. Tom Ochiltree and a Texas delegation re- ceived a shock at the Post-office department to-day. They had boarded the elevator and when the car was going down it suddenly fell about three feet and then stuck fast, suspend- ing the Texas patriots midway between the two floors. The suspension, however, was only temporary, and the elevator soon resumed its urney and landed the occupants safely on the and floors. Mr. QOehiltree, who had been jurprised by the sudden shock into the use of some strong expressions which formed a kind of bass obligato in the general Texas chorus, assoon ashe found himself on a solid place turned and eyeing with some suspicion the ele- vator conductor, exclaimed: “Some d— democrat clogged the wheels.” The Texas delegation approved this senti- ment and the elevator shot upstairs with an- other load of TROUBLE AHEAD. Postmaster-General Wanamaker and Senator Quay Have Different Views. There seems to be a misunderstanding be- tween Senator Quay and Postmaster-General Wanamaker over the appointment of a postmaster at Philadelphia. The custom has usually been for the appointing power to consult with the Senators of the states as to the roper person to appoint to post-offices of the larger class, but it is said that Mr. Wanamaker did not think it necessary to do this. He had asuitable man for the place, a Mr. Field, and so, two or three days since he offered him the appointment. While _ this was being done = Senator Quay had so arranged matters, he thought, as to make the nomination certain for a Mr. Leeds. The Senator was somewhat surprised to learn that Mr. Wanamaker had a preference which interfered _ seriously with his plans. He will endeavor to have mat- ters readjusted in Mr. Leeds’ behalf, but Mr. Field’s friends say that the Postmaster-Gen- eral’s mind is made up and the appointment will undoubtedly go as Mr. Wanamaker wants to have it go, Secretary Blaine and Minister Belmont. MR. BLAINE DID NOT REMOVE MR. BELMONT. ‘The New York Evening Post recently apolo- gized for stating that Secretary Blaine had re- moved Perry Belmont from the Spanish mission assoon as he entered upon his office. The truth is, as the Post afterward said, that Mr. Belmont’s resignation had been accepted by Mr. Bayarda week before Mr. Blaine was sworn in, It will probably surprise the Post still more to learn that on the 8th of March, the day after Mr. Blaine assumed control of the State depart- ment, he requested Mr. Belmont by cable to re- main in charge of the legation until his suc- cessor should arrive in Madrid, Resiod likely to extend two or three month fact has not before been known, but now reaches us through a trustworthy channel. Secretary Windom Leases a House. Secretary Windom has practically concluded @ lease for the large double house on K street, between 13th and 14th strects.. It is owned by Senator Sherman and is well known as the resi- — of Mr. Stanton when he was Secretary of far. Mr. Crannsox Worxixa Harp.—Mr. Clark- son, the first assistant postmaster-general, is devoting his spare time to the appointment of fourth-class ers. Either his spare time is expan each day or he is acquiring ter facility in the work. At any rate, the ist of appointments is each day growing in length. District Ixvenrons.—Patents have been issued to citizens of the District as follows: Geo. F. Brott, clamp; Willard D. Doremus, lock; Aven Pearson, cash indicator; Tom R. Stuart, pen-holder justices present when the Supreme Court was formally opened by the crier this morning, In the absence.of a quorum court adjourned Secnerany Taacr returned to this city from New York last night and was at his desk to-day The trial of Mrs, Virginia Taylor, purest with poisoning her husband, Willian % was begun in the county. court of apes county, Va., Veena, \ THE WHITE HOUSE RUSH. An Avalanche of Influence Brought to Bear on the President. ALL SECTIONS AND BOTH PARTIES REPRESENTED— MANY CONGREFSIONAL VISITORS—REPRESENTA- TIVE COX CALLS ON THE CENSUS QUESTION— CORPORAL TANNER’S CARD. Who suffered most this morning from the onslaught of the office-seekers and their back- ers, President Harrison or Doorkeeper Loefiler? would be a difficult question for an outsider to answer. From 10 o'clock until after the hour Telegrams to The Star. JOHN BRIGHT SLOWLY DYING. A Destructive Fire in Chicago. INDIANS BRAIDING IN ARIZONA. of noon the rush was almost unexampled in its | THE WRECK OFF THE VIRGINIA COAST extent and persistency. It was rather an avalanche of influence than an aggregation of those who wanted personal recognition, and was therefore the more difficult to ‘stand off.” It was powerful enough to say “We must be seen,” so the President had nothing else to do but to see them. A BOSTON MAN FOR INTERSTATE COMMISSIONER, Senators Hawley and Platt were on the ground early and so was Senator Hoar, the latter having with him Dwight Braman, a Massachusetts gentleman, who, for the occa- sion, represented the business interests of New England, and asked for the appointment of Edward W. Kinsley, of Boston, as interstate commerce commissioner. He presented a peti- tion signed by the leading New England manu- facturers, praying for the appomtment and ing attention to the great experience of their nominee. SENATORIAL CALLERS, Senator Manderson was closeted with the President for some time, and so were Senators Allison and Wilson, of Iowa, both of the latter declaring that they knew nothing about Iowa’s chances i the general land office or any other place of prominence. Senator Spooner took a friend in with him and remained inside for quite a long while Senator Sawyer was around for an hour or more and seemed to be waiting for something to happen. Senators Faulkner and were both in the library, but they disclaimed any but the most honorable intentions on the patronage in West Virginia. John C, New did not trouble the President, He went into Secretary Halford’s room for awhile, and introduced a friend and was ap- parently innocent of any designs on the ap- pointment clerks in any of the oparkcnenta Senators Dolph and Mitchell had with them State Senators L. T. Barin and J, 8. D. Gray, John Hahn, W, J. Snodgrass, and M. Baker, of Oregon, and Gen. Ihrie, of Washington Terri- tory. They desired simply to pay their re- spects—only that and nothing more. Senator Plumb had a quiet candidate for something good along with him, but his iden- tity was not revealed. Representatives Wright and Atkinson, of Pennsylvania, were also in at the same time. WHAT EX-REPRESENTATIVE VALENTINE WANTS. Representative Dorsey stated very emphati- cally that ex-Representative Valentine, of Ne- braska, was not a candidate for either public printer nor commissioner of the land office; he wants to be either second controller or fourth auditor, and thinks he willcapture one or other of the prizes, A SOUTHERN RALLY. The south was out in force. In the van was Representative Houk, looking pretty vigorous fora dead man (for such he was said to be a few days ago), and following closely on his heels were lepresentatives Evans and Brower. The democratic side was not without its friends, Representative W. C. P. Breckinridge brought Gen. Price, of Kentucky, with him, and ex- Representative J. Randolph Tucker had a friend in tow. There was also a delegation from Texas, consisting of Col, G, G. Brewster, A. Tadic, W. F, Cottman, T, A. Pope, Dr. A. M. Cochran and dell. “SUNSET” COX CALLS TO TALK CENSUS. “Sunset” Cox made his first salaam to Pres- ident Harrison shortly after 11 o'clock. “I'm just going to talk ‘census’ for a few minutes,” said he toa Star reporter. ‘You know I'm in- terested in that. I drew up the bills providing for the last census and this one, and I am anxi- ous to see thata good man be placed at the head of affairs. ‘The work has been simplified considerably. We have reduced the num- ber of possible philosophic treatises—art- istic brochures—for where there were twenty-seven _ principal subjects in the tenth census, there will only be seven in the eleventh. No; I have no can ite and I shall not say a word for anyone. I’m simply going to describe to the President the kind of a superintendent I think we ought to have and he may find him for himself. There seems to be plenty of good material willing to sacrifice itself.” Mr. Cox did not stay very long, £0 the proba- bilities are that he will have to call again to finish his sketch of the ideal superintendent of the census. THE CORPORAL’S CARD, One of the oddities of the card collection, which accumulates daily on Doorkeeper Leef- ler’s desk, was laid there this morning by John Palmer, of Albany. With Mr. Palmer was the man who made the card peculiar, He sat down at the desk for a moment and wrote above the Albany man’s printed name two words in pen- cii—‘Corporal Tanner.” Lots of people who saw the scrap of pasteboard wondered why the commissioner of pensions did not place his ini- tials before his name, instead of his non-com- mussioned title. AMONG THE LATER CALLERS were Representatives Cutcheon, Kennedy, Cole- man, Peters, Mason, and Dolliver. Ex-Repre- sentative Petty, who has been at the White House every day for the past two weeks, was also around to-day. So was Gen. Charles E. Brown, of Ohio. Representative Farquhar took in with him Mayor Becker, of Buffalo, anda delegation of republicans, most of whom wanted a little something trom the akministration. Gen. Ekin and Judge-Advocate-General Holt preceded ex-Representatives Horr and Butler into the executive presence; Vice-President Morton followed shortly after, and then the door was shut and preparations were made for the cabinet meeting. THE WARD CASE. The Chances of his Coming to Wash- ington. The New York World to-day says: President Hewitt made another cast with his golden seine yesterday morning in the hope of hauling John M. Ward out of the deep seas of uncertainty. The draw resulted in nothing but a catch of littering generalities and elusive promises. Sir. Towitt has nov yet given up hope, how- ever, and will make several more attempts be- fore the 1st of April. He says that he is posi- tive of — Ward's signature ultimately, but that fie would rather have the matter settled at once. Ward. still maintains that he can do nothing until Mr. Day returns. This is peculiarly un- fortunate for Ward in every way. It putea chain on him for three weeks or a month, and in the meantime he is unable to proceed in any iven direction. ‘The only thing remaining for aane go into training and get ready for business, wherever his future may lie. In a conversation with a World reporter yesterda: Ward stated that if he had known that he cou! not have settled the matter by coming ‘over he would have remained with his confreres in Europe. ‘The Sun says: “The Ward case, notwithstand- ing the great amount of talk, can be summed up in a few words, He will not go to Boston he geo to Washington; but if the New York club will pay him the amount of that he asks he will stay right in this ig.

I examined the wood and found it was worm- eaten, and like sponges. The anchor was fast in the side of the old wreck, and I found it im- possible to remove it. This vessel lies directly in the line along the coast, althongh some dis- tance from the place where the steamer City of @ Branch worked last year. The oldest citizens of the town of Lewes know ny any vessel ever sinking there, and, by the look of the wood and the indications, I the wreck must be that of the De Braak.” —— To Smash the Albany Slate.
