Davis, arrived at the New York navy-yard yes- terday from the European station. The For- tune arrived at the Norfolk nayy-yard yester- day from N York. The United ‘States steamer Enterprise was at Leghorn, Italy, yes- ay, having returned from a cruise to the GoveRNMENT revenue, $205, Dears or Justice BraDey’s Sox.—Mr. Wil- liam H. Bradley, son of Justice Bradley of the Supreme Court, died yesterday at Newark, N. J., in the thirty-sixth year of his age. The funeral will take place at Newark day after to- morrow, RESIGNATIONS ACCEPTED.—The Attorney-Gen- eral has received the resignations of George S. Peters, United States attorney for the district of Utah; Peter S. Knight, United States at- torney for the southern district of Florida, and E. M. Boykin, United States marshal for South Carolina, ‘They have all been accepted to take effect upon the appoinment of their successors. Tue Army Manevvers.— The various de- partments of the army have mapped out their program for the summer maneuvers called for by General Schofield’s order the early part of the year. General Schofield had hoped to have aconcentration of troops by divisions, but as such a mobilization would cost considerable money all the operations during the present summer will be confined to the departments separately. The Secretary of War has been requested to make an allotment of about #35,000. Tue Proressors For THE CaTHOLIC UNIvVER- sity.—The Attorney-General has returned to the Treasury department the papers in relation to the proposed entrance into thie country of foreign professors for the new Catholic univer- sity, with a statement that he does not consider the case in its present shape as properly call- ing for official recognition. The point made by him is merely technical and refers solely to the manner of reference. This objection, it is stated, will probably be overcome by a formal request by the Secretary of the Treasury for an opinion as to the legality of the landing of the persons in questi Bank Divipexp.—The controller of the cur- rency has declared a fourth dividend 5 per cent in favor of the creditors of the State Na- tional bank of Raleigh, N. C., making in all 45 per cent on claims proved, amounting to $526,074. This bank failed March 27, 1888. To-pay's Boxy Orrertnas aggregated $7,100, as follows: Registered 4148, $6,000, $1,000, $100, at 10674. Inortation oF Spurious Tea.—The collec- tor of customs at New York has made a report to the Treasury department in regard to the enforcement of the act of March 2, 1883, relat- ing to the importation of spurious and adul- terated teas. He suggests that evidence of frand is not necessary to justify the tea-inspec- tor in taking samples of all importations of teas in addition to those samples which may be sub- mitted by the importers, and thereupon test- ing the sume with a view to definitely ascer- tuin whether the tea may be of a character not entitled to entry. he says also that there is no provision in the law which would prevent the inspector from taking and testing addi- tional samples to make sure that they truly represent the importation, Navat Onpens.—Lieut.

REPRESENTATIVE WILLIAMS Talks About the Speakership of the House and the Ohio Governorship. Representative Williams, of Ohio, was to see the President this morning concerning some of the appointments in his district, He came from home day before yesterday. Speaking with a Srar reporter he said: “The thing that is now occupying the atten- tion of the folks in Ohio is the governorship. There is no doubt in the world that Foraker will be renominated. It is known now that he will accept the nomination, and that prac- tically settlesthe matter. He could, if he wanted, be the successor to Senator Payne, but he is not after that.” : Speaking of the speakership contest in the next House, Col. Williams said he thought the contest lay between Reed and McKinley. THE FLOOD SUFFERERS. Contributions Through The Star for Their Relief. FOR THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL SUFFERERS.

Business Men Waiting 1 for the Conference to be Held To-morrow. Canal matters were quiet in Georgetown to- day. Since yesterday no attempt has been made to secure the promise of any further sub- scriptions to be devoted to helping the canal company out on the repairing of the George- town level. Everybody is waiting for the meet- ing of interested parties to-morrow, when it is hoped that in some manner or other a scheme will be arranged by which the waterway can be rebuilt from one end to theother, The feeling is a very hopeful one. This afternoon, if President Gambrill can be found in Georgetown, the millers’ committee will have a conference with him as to how they are to deal with the canal directorate to- morrow. They want to know whether or not he has paved the way for them, and they also want toknow whether there is a possibility of the canal managers being able to help them- selves a little in this matter. For a time it was thought probable that an appeal would be made to the District Commis- sioners, but that idea has been effectually dis- sipated by a recently-acquired knowledge of the fact that the Commissioners were powerless to do anything in their official capacity. There is no fund trom which they could draw a cent to be expended on the canal. The meeting to-morrow will be held at the office of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal company, on ist, near M street, and it will commence at 10 o'clock, San SSL Preparing for the Exposition. The secretary of the Commercial club, of Kansas City, which is one of the most progres- sive commercial bodies west of the Mississippi river, writes that at a full meeting of the board a resolution was adopted instructing the presi- dent to appoint a standing committee of five on “the three Americas exposition” to be held at Washington in 1892. He adds: ‘We shall be most happy to promote the interests of this rated enterprise, and are subject. to your commands.” ‘che following is the committee: L. E. Irwin, president; Ryerson Ritchie, secre- tary; W. B-Glarke, F.'A. Faxon, B. F. Jones, ‘This makes the thirty-third standing commit- tee on this subject recently appointed by the boards of trade of the leading cities throughout the country, No Massacre of Mexicans by Indians. The following telegram in reference to the reported massacre in Mexico has just been re- ceived at the War department: San Francisco, June 17. To the Adjutant Generat, Washington: Following received from the commanding officer department of Arizona: “Referring to recent reports in newspapers regarding the alleged killing of Mexicans by Indians in So- nora, 300 miles south of the international line, Iam advised by Gov. Torres that after a ful investigation made by him he tinds there is no truth whatever in the report.” (Signed) Mu.zs, Brigadier General, Denials from the Navy Department. It is denied at the Navy department that the crew of the Vandalia, one of the vessels wrecked at Samoa, have been discharged from the service without pay allowances, because of the death of Paymaster Armes and the loss of the ship’s books which contained their ac- counts. Navy department officials say there have been no discharges of enlisted men be- longing to the ships wrecked at Samoa, except some “special service” men (stewards, cooks, servants, &c.,) living on the ‘ific coast, who may have been discharged since their arrival at San Francisco. Ali others would have been transferred to the receiving ship at Mare Island, The accounts of the Trenton and Ni) sic were saved, so that there has been no di! culty in issuing money to the crews of those shi The Vandalia’s accounts were lost, new rolls were therefore opened, dating from the time of the disaster, and there have been is- sues of money due the men since that date. Amounts due prior to the time of the wreck must undego ad tment by the accounting officers of the Treasury. any or the Van- “knocking about San Fran- RAID ON THE PRESIDENT. Office-Seekers Making the Most of Their Limited Opportunities. The law of compensation operated on the President to-day. The office-seekers and their representatives who could not see him on Sat- urday or Monday came in to-day and presented their claims without mercy. Like duns they handed in their little political bills and de- manded settlement. To-morrow is Treasury day, and all the seekers after collectorships of ports and of internal revenue hurry up to get in their best work the day before. The Presi- dent was overwhelmed this morning with talk, burdened with a hundred and odd little details about these small offices im various parts of the country. Every applicant for one of these offices expects that his case is tobe acted on “the next Treasury day.” The Rep- resentatives have him prodded up to activity by che impression that the President has got matters in such a shape that he can dispose of many of the pending cases that have been held up for a long time before he takes his summer vacation. lt is expected that he will go to Cape May to spend Saturday and Sunday, and he may start as early as Thursday evening. The last of the month he is to go to Deer Park. ‘This leaves but little time for action, and the office-scekers are awaking again to the neces- sity of losing as little as possible of it. IMPORTANT APPOINTMENTS EXPECTED TO-MORROW. The impression is that 2 number of cases are to be settled between now and the Ist of July. It is expected that to-morrow the appointment of the chief of the bureau of engraving and printing will be made. Capt. Meredith is re- garded as certain to get the place. The ap- pointment of the Philadelphia custom-house officers— collector, surveyor, and naval officer— and the superintendent of ‘the mint, and a lot of collectorships in other parts of the country are looked for. A considerable list of consular appointments has been prepared by the State department for the President's guidance, and Mr. Wanamaker has a number of post-offices ready for action. The idea is that the Presi- dent will dispose of most of these before he goes to Deer Park. CONGRESSIONAL CALLERS. The list of Congressmen, who took up most of the time allotted to visitors to-day, in- cluded Senator Washburn, Representatives Brown, of Indiana; Cheatham and Evarts, of North Carolina; Williams, Pugsley, ‘Thompson and Taylor, of Ohio; Farquhar, of New York; Houk, of Tennessee, and Kinsey, of Missouri. Each of the Ohiomen came alone to talk about the offices in his own district and some consular offices applied for by his constituents. Mr. Farquhar talked with the President about Capt. Taylor. He pointed out several forcible reasons why Capt. Taylor should suc- ceed Gen. Kelton as assistant adjutant-general, Representative Houk had with him a delega* tion who were interested in the Memphis post- office and the collectorship in that port of the state. The President saw, also, Gen. Schofield, Justice Harlan, and ex-Representatives Find- ley, of Maryland, and Yost, of Virgima. Mr. Findley was accompanied by an old lady whom he presented to the President. Mr. Yost had several oflices he is particularly interested in that he wanted to see about, but there seems but little encouragement for Virginia in the present situation. THE JACKSONVILLE, FLA., POST-OFFICE. Some of the men who thought they might have a chance at the postmastership at Jack- sonville, Fla., think that they have not been given a fair show. It was generally supposed that the change in that office would not be made for some time. The candidates were taking their time about it, but Mr. Goodrich, who is contestant for a seat in the next House, ‘ot an inspector sent down there and through 13 report had the old postmaster re- moved. Then. before the other candidates could realize the situation he had his candi- date, Mr. McMurray, appointed. Mr. McMur- ri bonds have been filed, but the com- mission has not been signed by the President. ‘To-day Mr, Ledwith, tho former republican postmaster, who intended to seek reappoint- ment, ao at the White House to protest against the signing of the commission of Mc- Murray until he had hada chance to present his case, OTHER CALLERS were J. H. Little. of Chicago; James B. Dev- eraux, of Georgia, ex-member of the national executive committee; Robert Bruce Bagley, of Indianapolis; General Hawley, of Illinois; Jas. C. Eslow, who is interested in the Albion, lich., post-office; Mr. Richard B. Hill, of Germany, who wanted merely to pay_ respects; 8. A. McElwee, of Tennessee; C. M. Yergerson, of Texas: A. W. Wills and W. P. Brownlow, of Tennessee; Henry P. Nevitt, of Albany, N. and J. 8. Buckner, of Culpeper, Va. cITY ICE SITE. Two Bids tor Furnishing Suitable Quarters. POST-OFF! General Clarkson, the second assistant post- master-general, has received, as chairman of the city post-ofice commission, two bids in response to advertisement ask ing for proposals for furnishing suitable quarters for the city post-office, ‘The bids will not be opened until the commission meets, which will probably be ina day or two, One of the bids, Gen. Clarkson said, he thought was for the owners of the building where the office is now located. The commis- sion will be now in possession of all the infor- mation on the subject, and the work of pre- paring their report will be next in order. GETTING POINTS IN CHICAGO. An Attache of the Chinese Legation and His New Secretary Making Inquiries. An Associated Press dispatch from Chicago to-day says: Chan Fan Moore, secretary to Chan Foo, Chinese minister at Washington, arrived in the city Sunday morning and left last evening for San Francisco.

THE ARREST OF BURKE SAID TO HAVE FIXED HIM IN THIS DETERMINATION—WHAT CHIEF HUB- BARD SAYS ABOUT BURKE—MORE EVIDENCE THAN THE PUBLIC KNOWS AGAINST HIM. Cuicaco, June 18.—Luke Dillon was not Pleased with the visit of Hatfield, Throckmor- ton, and Martinson to New York. He said: “I am not satisfied of Maroney's innocence. wasan easy matter for the identification to fail, but I am still of the opinion that the trials will develop Maroney’s connection with tae crime, if there was any part in it by people not residents of Chicago Mr. Dillon places but little reliance on the | stories told by Woodruff, and says that he has daily illustrations of the fellow’s fondness for mutilating the truth beyond all recognitioa, Mr. Dillon said he did not know Burke, who has been arrested at Winnipeg. A SENSATIONAL DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED. An afternoon paper says: A sensational de- velopment in the Cronin case is being prepared by the officials and is liable at any moment to reach that stage where use of it must be made in such a manner as to compel its publicity. It is nothing else than the turning state’s evidence of one of the tools of the conspiracy and a rev- elation by him of all he knows of the plot and the surrender to the police of the names of the priucipals and instigators of the crime, so far as he knows or has reason to suspect. It is said that this man cannot be held as more than an accesory after the fact, as his knowledge of the diabolical intents of the men for whom he, as be thought, did commouplac and apparently innocent favors did not come to hi until he learned of Cronin’s death he newspapers and the manner of his assassination. Then fear of the penitentiary or the gallows sealed his lips. Then, too, he was seen by certain persons, supposed to have been the chief conspirators, and assured not only of their innocence but of ample protection for himself, and as a consequence he has kept silent. The discovery of the man Burke bas un- nerved this man and HE IS ABOUT READY TO TALK. It is claimed he knows all about the renting of the Carlson cottage, how the men who lured Dr. Cronin to his death knew of the the O'Sul- livan contract and other detaiys, It is said thet the men who rented the Carlson cottage were made known to him as persons here on a mis- sion, at least not so foul as the assassination of Dr. Cronin, and that he had no idea that Dr, Cronin was the victim aimed at. His confes- sion, the authorities think, isa matter of a ort time. Up to this time hesitating and pro- testing his ignorance of any detail of the crin but, as the circumstances pointing to his guilty knowledge crowd together day after day, he is becoming worried and the end is not far. No hint of his identity can be given at this ume. CHIEF HUBBARD TALKS. Chief of Police Hubbard, in speaking of the arrest of Martin Burke in Winnipeg for complici in the Cronin murder, said: “We have a good deal more evidence against Burke than has been published. identification of the photograph is not nearly all. I wil! say that Burke was frequently heard | to say that Dr.Cronin ought to be removed. There is not a shadow of adoubt in my mind that Martin Burke helped to kill Dr. Cronin, but whether the Winnipeg man is he cannot be stated positively, though there is not much doubt about it. The police do not say where this information came from, but is stated that a friend of Burke’s has “squealed” and will accompany the officer with the requisition to Winnipeg. Some of Woodruff’s Statements Cor- roborated. Loxpon, Oxrt., June 18.—Persons who were acquainted with the Black family here before they moved to Chatham, and who lived in Chatham at the time mentioned by Frank Woodruff who is implicatea in the murder of Dr. Cronin, and who is a son of Mrs. Black by a former husband, says that Frank disappeared shortly after the Fenian troubles ended, and that he was a member of No. 1 company of the twenty-fourth battalion. They say that young Black or Woodruff had a slight squint in his eyes, and even then was regarded as a person of evil disposition. According to them Woodruff’s confession as reported in the papers, so far as it relates to his connection with the Canadian militia is in the main correct. Looking for a Man in St. Louis. Sr. Louis, Mo., June 18.—There was con- siderable talk in Irish-American circles yes- terday over the discovery that two members of the Chicago detective force attended the Ancient Order of Hibernians, at the fair grounds Sunday, and spent the entire day cir- culating amoug the picnickers.

Catcaco, June 18.—The Western line pro ago and the schooner Pensaukee met 8s of Point Betsy Sunday after- noon in the fog. The Chicago was coming up |and the Pensaukee going down. The pro- peller got nearly out of the way before the schooner struck her, but the latter's jib-boom | played havoc with her after-port quarter, car- rying aw: upper works, and disabling her stevring gear. The offending jib-boom and head gear went oy the board. The Pensaukee drifted away and was soon lost in the fog.

Purtaperaia, June 18.—The people of the state of Pennsylvania are voting to-day on the question of incorporating an amendment pro- hibiting the manufacture or sale of intoxicat- ing liquors in the state constitution. From a careful diagnosis of the situation, it is believed that the proposed amendment will be defeated by a majority of not less than 20,000. Probably no political campaign in the his- tory of the state has been more vigorously conducted than has that of the advocates of temperance. Nightly meetings have been held in every county running up into thousands, and eloquent speakers have been brought from near and far to impress upon the advant of total prohibition.
