Folksoutside of the army scarcely realize the intensity to which the interest is strung in the contest for the adjutant-generalship that will be made vacant next week by the retire- mentof Gen. Drum. As the time approaches forthe change the fact becomes more and more potent that Cols. Kelton and Whipple the only real applicants, and that all other stically out of the race. The list of or! nal candidates, however, includes a goodly number of members of the corps. It includes Juls. Kelton, Whipple and McKeever, Lieut- » and Wood The fight that has been mad of Col. Whipple has aroused an antagonistic feeling in the army, where the sentiments age is not regarded as pos y weight as against the principle of rank. COL. KELTON’S INFLUENCE. The real force of the influence behind Col. Kelton is not generally known, but it is very strong. In the first place Gen. Drum, the re- tiring adjutant-general, has avowed himself in favor of the selection of this offic whom he had ordered here early in his adminii for the purpose of learning the methods of the bureau as his future successor, Of late, when the fight waxed warm. he was called upon by a senatorial delegation and asked to define his position. It was then that he declared in Kelton’s favor. Each one of the bureau chiefs of the War department has offered Kelton his sympathy and aid, and he has received encouragement from a large number of prominent army officers, Among the many Congressmen enlisted on his side are Senators Sherman, Qu Cameron, Butler, Manderson, Hawley and Spooner, be- side the entire Pennsylvania delegation, and large numbers of others. COL. ROBERT WILLIAMS’ NAME occurs in the Army Register between those of Kelton and Whipple, but he has been generally disregarded in the fight on account of his re- fusal to contest the claims of Kelton, his superior, and also his extreme ill-health, t is said that Gen. Dram refused to give his | support to Col. Whipple mainly because the latter made a bitter tight for the head ofthe corps when Gen, Townsend retired and Drum succeeded him.

Commissioner Hine told a Sran reporter that the papers in the case were his possession, and that they would be the first thing considered Monday morning.

The Government Unable to Obtain a Verdict of Manslaughter. In the case of Dorsey Suber, indicted for the murder of James Payne, on the 27th of De- cember last, the jury was discharged yesterday afternoon by Judge Bradley of the Criminal Court. The government before the close of the case abandoned the charge of murder and asked a verdict of manslaughter. The defendant claimed that the cuts were in- flicted in self-defense. The jurors were out over two hours and announ that they were divided on the question of fact and there was _ large proving ground, but it was estimated at ten miles, - Soon after the contracts are awarded for the construction of wo new 2,500-ton gfnbosts, preparations w: in at the Washington or nance yard for the manufacture of their pecu- liar ordnance, which is to be made up entirely of rapid-fire of extrao calibers as compared with guns of this now in use on our naval vessels, The largest of this kind will be six inches in caliber, but owing to the simplicity and compactness of their mech- anism and construction they will not mate- exceed in weight the six-inch rifles of | the kind now in use, although to ssc anil socurasy; sad ore " su- perior in offensive power by reason of their " rapidity of fire, : no reasonable hope of reaching an agreement, It is understood ihat they were equally di- vided, This morning, Suber's counsel, Mr. Campbell Carrington, asked a reduction of the bail which had been fired before the trial at $10,000. ‘The court at 1 o'clock said he would set the bail at $1,000.

He Makes ey ae tonal State- ments to the Court. A SEN Sir Morell Mackenzie Sues the London Times for Libel. Special Cable Dispatch to Tur FE’ Loxvon, May 23,—Sir Morell Mackenzie has instracted George Lewis to take libel proceed- ings against Steinkopf and the Times for pub- lishing letters of the former alleged to have been produced in Greenwood’s case. The pas- sages complained of are these: “The emperor is not expected to live much longer, and when he dies a storm will break out against Mac- kenzie, not on account of his final collapse, but because of the many mistakes which he is 5 to have made. I am told again, and from a totally different quarter, that Mackenzie will have to run the moment the emperor dies. There is so much material being collected against him that he will find it dificult to stand, He is charged with conspiracy in so far that he, knowing the emperor su <PECTED. NING STAI fered from cancer, denied it in order that the emperor might not be excluded from th succession which certainly would have becn done ina ance with the liws of the Hohen zollerns had Mackenzie admitted the existenc of cancer. He #0 conspired to provide funds for various present and prospective purposes. “It is said that the empress so entirely controls and oceasionly even snubs the emperor that officials have withdrawn more than once in order not to be present at humilitating scenes.” The Tines publishes these letters by jour- nalistic sharp practice. Only extracts Were read, but in the court the Times reporter got hold of the full originals, and hence was not covered by the privilege of a bona fide report. The judicial proceedings in the case, unless settled, will be most sensational, involving the whole conduct of Mackenzii He owes the Ties a heavy grudge.

In both he became involved im factional fighta, bat in the latter society he soon rose to distine- tion. He was an enthusiastic society man, very popular, and constantly in conventions and He believed that the chief officer of ja-Gael was making a questionable of the funds of the order, and he antagonized that leader's policy: Many other Irishmen of the better class believed as Cronin did, but preferred to drop out rather than en- gage in a fight.
