Monday is the President's day off from office- seekers, This fact and the heavy rain kept things very quict at the White House to-day. Secretary Blaine made a business call early in the day and again in the afternoon. The Pres- ident saw Secretary Rusk and Gen, Fairchild. The rest of the day he spent hard at work, éx- cept when he got achance to enjoy the com- pany of his family, Two or three members of Congress and half @ dozen other persons who called to see Secre- tary Halford, hung about the lobby, the por- tico, and the reception rooms longer than their engagements warranted, deploring the insufii- ciency of umbrellas and the absence of cabs. But within the private part of the house it was more cheerful than it has been for several days, The presence of irs. Harrison and the grand children was ample compensation for the ab- sence of the usual throng of office-seekers, CAPT. MACARTHUR PROMOTED. The Vacancy in the Adjutant-General’s Department Filled. The Secretary of War to-day announced the appointment by the President of Capt. Arthur Macarthur, jr., Thirteenth infantry, to be assis- tant adjutant-general, with the rank of major. ‘This ends the strife in the army for this, one of the most-desirable staff appointments, which had been in progress for a long time,before the retirement of Gen. Drum, There were proba- bly sixty or seventy applications on file for the vacant position, and almost as many more ofti- cers were just ready to speak. The appoint- ment will be all the more interesting to Wash- ingtonians because Capt. Macarthur is a son of Judge Macarthur, of this city. He was born in Massachusetts, June 2, 1845, and entered the volunteer service as first lieutenant twenty- fourth Wisconsin infantry, August 4, 1862, and | served during the war with distinction. He ‘was appointed second lieutenant in the seven- teenth. regular infantry, February 23, 1866, and promoted same day to first lieutenant, and appointed captam July 28, 1866. ajor Macarthur’s record during the war was an exceptionally brilliant one. At Mis- sionary Ridge. when the color bearer was dis- abled he seized the colors and carried the flag | in front of the regiment, cheering the men to | follow him up the ridge. At the battle of | Franklin he received two severe wounds. In command of his regiment he retook some Union batteries at the very moment the enemy were about to tara them upon the Union forces, i and captured 10 battle flags and 400 hundred | prisoners. This when he was nineteen years of age. The Weather and the Crops. The weather-crop bulletin of the signal off :> says: The week ending Jung 29 has been coolur than usual inall agricultural districts, except Dakota, where the temperature has been above | the average for the week. There has been an excess of rainfall during the week generally on | the Atlantic coast from and including New York southward to Florida, in the Ohio valley, and in the southern portions of the cotton region, extending from southern Georgia to | Texas. The rainfall along the south Atlantic | coast generally exceeded 4 inches, The weather | been favorable for all growing crops | throughout the central valleys and northwest. | except in Dakota, where drought has caused some injury to wheat, oats and barley, but corn is reported as fine and growing rapidly in this state and generally throughout the corn-belt, From Minnesota reports show that all crops were improved, but more rain is needed in the Red River valley country. Reports from Ni braska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kai sas, Kentucky and Arkansas show that the con- dition for the week were especially favorable for corn, which made rapid growth. Harvest- ing is in progress as far north as the 40th parallel in the central valleys, Threshing is in progress in Tennessee, and the damage to wheat from excessive rains has been over-esti- mated, Legislated Out of Office. Under the new law requiring the Senate to confirm tke nomination of the superintendent of the coast survey the present superintendent is legislated out of office to-day. His successor will have to be nominated by the President, This will probably be done at once. This will robably be done at once, It is said that Prof, x B, Gould, of Harvard, will get the appgint- ment. Prof. Gould is a scientist and a man of learning. It was he that President Sarmiento got to inaugurate an educational system in the Argentine republic. When Sarmiento repre- sented his government here he made a study of our educational system, and when he be- came president of the republic he decided to adopt the Michigan system of schools for his le. He engaged a number of professors Preis country and got Prof. Gould of Harvard to found the ae and observatory at Cordoba, Prof. Gould was in the Argentine republic for a number of years until he fully completed this work. He then returned to Harv, Summer Encampments of U. S. Troops. | Ciephane, The summer encampment orders of the third artillery have again been changed and the command will go to Fort Monroe during Sep- tember instead of the present month. In the meantime the batteries may go individually for target practice. The batteries of the third sta- -tioned at Baltimore will go into camp at about the same time, but must be back at Fort Mc- Henry by the 12th of September, in time to take part in the procession to commemorate the anniversary of the battle of North Point, Battery K, stationed here, has been ordered into camp at Mt.

Justices Cox and James sat in General Term to-day and the latter delivered several opinions of the court. The first was in the case of Ann McCarthy against Dennis McCarthy, in which several years ago a decree of divorce was made granting the wife alimony at the rate of €30 per month, The husband died in March, 1885, the alimony being paid up to that time. The widow now files a petition for the payment of the alimony which has accrued since. The children of deceased claim that the decree for alimony should not affect their property. The court holds that the allowance of alimnony is requiring the enforcement of the husband's duty, and should be operative only during the joint lives of the parties, In the case of Kello; Cummings, in which the complaitinnt se to bea part- nershiw creditor of Cook & Co., the court dis~ missed the petition filed by defendant for the dismissal of the bill, In the case of De Geofrey al, the demurrer was sustai le suit brought establish heirship as to cle, T.

Gen, Hastings accompanied the governor on his tour of inspection. The governor was greatly pleased at the progress made in clear- ing away the debris, and found no fault with the manner im which the work had been car- ried on, “I have no private funds on hand, and the idea that I had is a great mistake. Whatever money came togne I have placed in the hands of the state committee, in whom I have the greatest confidence, The Chicago houses do not come up to expectation, but it must be re- membered that they are only for temporary use. They will do, however, until the people are self-sustaining. This terrible disaster was misrepresented to me in the first place. 1 find out now that it is really worse than I thought at first. ‘The loss is ever? greater, and I do not think it has yet been correctly estimated.
