Commissioner Roosevelt Looking After Pension Office Dismissals. Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt, who is reported to have said that he is not satisfied with the present administration of the civil service law in the pension office, told « Sram reporter to-day that he had not been correctly reported. He bad said tliat charges had been brought against both the pension office and the sixth auditor's office that men had been discharged because they were democrats, He was not pre- pared to say that this was a violation of the law, but individually he was firmly of the opinion that it was in violation of the spirit of the law. He thought that no one, unless he happened to be an active partisan, should be dismissed from the public service. He seid that the commission was going to look the mattér up, not only as relating to the present but to the past. In speaking of the matter further, Mr. Roosevelt said that in the Baltimore post office it was charged that there had been a clean sweep, and out of the three hundred and fifty-seven ‘employes there were now only eleven republicans. He thought that this was wrong and ought to be sto) THE PENSION INVESTIGATION. The Commission Hard at Work on the Rerating Question.

T was a great success, Careful drilling and thorough discipline wereprominentinevery feature of the first dress parade of the District national guard. It was all that the most exact- ing could have asked for, and he would have been critical indeed who could withhold Praise, Two great dif- ficulties confronted Gen. Ordway in the matter of the parade, The first one was the fact that the national guard had never been on dress parade before; the second obstacle was the new tactics, made necessary by the three- battalion formation. Quite @ goodly crowd of Washingtonians came down to witness the spectacle, and they were more than pleased with it. The veteran Sergeant Joyce watched every movement with an expert eye, and when the parade was dis- missed he remarked, enthusiastically: “You can’t see anything finer than that; I don't care where you look for it. Inever saw anything to beat it in all my thirty years of experience in the regular army.” But the most thoroughly gratified man there was Gen. Ordway, Seated on his fine charger, he was the beau ideal of » soldier, and every man that faced him was ud of his commanding officer. The long line was, from a military standpoint, as near perfection as could be looked for, and it responded to commands with # promptness more steadily exact than was looked for by the most san- guine. The general had felta litile dubious about the experiment, and had fully made up his mind that there would be much to crit but his judgment was for once at fault, GEN, ORDWAY PLEASED. “It repays me for all my trouble,” said he to a Star reporter when it was allover, “I had a good deal of confidence in the ability of the command, and I knew they would try to fo their best, but the performance far exceeded my hopes. No commanding officer need ever be ashamed to “j District national guard anywhere.” AN OVATION TO THE GENERAL, In afew minutes after the parade was dis- missed the men bad relieved themselves of their arms and belts, and formed in an irregu- lar column of fours to march to supper. The general rode down the line on his way to the mess sheds, and the reception he got would have made the emperor of Russia, if he had seen it, turn pale green with envy. Everybody yelled with all his might. Tho first battalion (Washington Light Infantry) eounded forth its corps cheer and did the “Father of His Coun- try” breakdown. All the way to the fort the géneral rode bareheaded, for the ovation was continuous and it was easier to hold his helmet in his hand than it was to be momentarily taking it off and poe iton, If there was a prouder man in the United States last night than was Gen, Ordway, or one that had greater cause for self-congratulation, he had better let it be known soon or he will not get the credit for it. It is easier to raise a cheer, or three of them, or three times three, for the general than it is to get a drink of whieky in camp, and every one who has tried the latter experiment knows that it is as devoid of exertion as the legendary “rolling off a log.” THE GRAND ROUND LAST NIGHT was a huge success, and it gave Inspector Gen- eral Gale numerous opportunities to instract sentinels in their duties, It was interesting inl amore than military sense, for Adjutant Genera Lemly had late “in the evening promul- gated an order issued by General Ord- way to the effect that all newspaper reporters who displayed their regulation police badges were to be allowed to go and come as they pleased anywhere on the reservation at all hours of the day and night. Shortly after 11 o'clock Inspector General Gale, Acting Quarter- master General Parmenter, Capt. Jeffords and Tur Stan representative tramped away from the general's headquarters for the purpose of testing the intelligence and the soldicrly quali- ties of the men who were doing guard duty. Asarule the sentries had a good deal to learn, but they were all doing their utmost to do the correct thing. Very. rarely was the vigil ance of any of them at fault, and in) a steady walk of an hour auda half, but two men were careless enough to allow the reporter to pass them without any attempt on their part to challenge him. At four of the posts were found sentries who, at the request of the major, gave up their guns to him and received them back after being lec- tured eee sharply for allowing any one to hold the weapons but themselves, ‘Two of the men were PRETTY BADLY “RaTrLep,” but they recovered in a little while and got the thing done right at last. One sentinel lost most of his wits when the grand round reached him. His was the last post, and assoon as he had challenged the “round” he yelled “Tarn out the guard? Heres this, this, this d— what-do-you-call-it come again.” He had to try that over again until he did it more ac- curately. &Sergt. Joyce told Gen. Ordway early in the evening that he was going to test his sentries, and from 11 until 1 o’clock he made the rounds and was halted by every sentry on the reserva- tion, much to his delight. He had all the offi- cers of the guard routed out and kept things moving at a pretty lively rate while he was on his tour of inspection, At one post it was seriously discussed as to whether it would notbe the proper thing to wake up Gen. Ordway and inform him that. man without the countersign was all over the camp at once. ‘The general opinion seemed to be that Jovee ought to be committed to the guard tent, but it was finally decided oes the best thing to do would be to take him ome, GUARD MOUNT OF THE FIRST REGIMENT. Cadet Hine acted as inspector general this morning at the guard mount of the first regi- ment. Ho found the men surprisingly well up in their duties, and with the exception of a few minor errors they went through the evolutions like veterans. The officer of the day for the first regiment is Capt. C. E. Edwards and the officer of the guard is Lieut. C. L. M. Sker- rett. To-morrow morning Cadet Hine will inspect guard mount of the second regiment, andthe men who will be on duty are hard at work putting the finishing touches to their ideas as to how the thing should be done, There is » good deal of rivalry between the two regiments as to which can put up the best guard mount and a number of interested spectators will be on hand to-morrow mornit to see whether the second can hold up its ond, SKIRMISH DRILL OF THE CAVALRY, 3 The cavairy did a good deal of work this morning and did it well. For the first time they tried skirmish drill, firing with blank cartridge, and Sergeant Major Rennie of Fo: Myer was more than pleased wit the excellence of their, work. The only noticeable divergence re; & from gular tactics was indulged in by Private Forsberg’s horse, who, whenever there was any necting, rp on eying. to start for Wash- ID \. am vt 60 rider right into the line of free the eee ph was taken after drill by Prof. jos. this city, who is acc a them camp pict of Pictures, many 4 While the cavalry were at work the artillery boys were resting, if it is rest to be singing and shouting and making very merry.

It is astonishing to note the frequency with which some men visit the “drug store.” Their ailments are frequently imaginary, and they go to see the doctor with the hope that he will prescribe imported sherry or thirty- aoe brandy. Dr. Cole is good- umored and popular, and he has often seemed to be asleep when his eyes were very wide open indeed, This morning one of the notorious “coffee coolers” entered the di sary and claimed to be seriously affected. “Have you a little blackberry brandy?” he asked with a very weak voice, “I don't think blackberry brandy would re- lieve you,” was the reply. “You have consumed so much of that during the past couple of days that it is losing its efficacy so far as you are concerned.” Then, turning to a hospital steward he said: “Sergeant, take this man into the operating room. You will find there alarge horse eyringe and a bucket of buttermilk, There is no better remedy than that,” ‘The sufferer was on his way to camp in less than five seconds, ONE RUG “TOO MUCH.” Everybody has unhesitatingly accepted the clearly-stated fact that “beauty unadorned is adorned the most,” but Inspector General Gale disputes this by attempting to decorate his tent floor with a very dudish-looking rug. That is what may fairly be termed a work of superero- gation, for when the major is not in his tent no one looks at it, and when he is under his canvas roof why no one would take their eyes off him for a moment to scan the furnishings of the a ent. Nobody cares two cents for the ma nt unless he himeelf 1s in it, How much interest or value attaches to an oyster shell when the pearl is gone? Incidentally it may be remarked that the rug belongs to Capt. Par- menter, who only consented to loan it when its cost value bad been duly deposited—‘norneces- sarily for publication, but simpiy as a guaran- tee of good faith.” Gen. Ordway has one large rug in the headquarters tent and Capt. Aldrich has two on the fanciful matting which covers his floor. Nobody expected anything better from them, but from Major Gale it is too much—just one rug too much, WET AND DRY. “Do you suppose that was intended to be a dry moat?” asked Lieut, “Jake” Moore of Capt. John Miller yesterday, They were ex- amining the fort, and the lieutenant, who is paying a great deal of attention to fortification engineering (especially of the “stone-fence” variety), wanted all the information he could et. “No,” replied the captain, very positively. “That was originally planned and excavated for a wet moat, but out of respect for the Presi- dent's order as to the sale of liquors on the reservation its character was changed.” ‘The lieutenant is much better this morning, thank you, but he had a very narrow escape. There is sweet music around the he; ters of the first regiment every evening after supper and it is really a treat. The colored servants and a few of the vocalists from the seventh and eighth battalions gather around near one of the baggage tents and sing char- acteristic songs in first-class style. THERE WAS 4 VERY PAINFUL SEPARATION of mother and child last night, Mrs. Forsberg was down in camp, just down to see how her husband was behaving himself. She brought with her their child, a pretty little infant, When it was almost time for the last boat to leave for the city it was discovefed that Papa Forsberg could not get away from camp, so § geant Major Rennie (galtant soldier he is) vol- untcered to carry the baby down to the wharf. The offer was accepted, and when the wharf was reached Mrs. Forsberg went on board the waiting boat, expecting the sergeant-major to follow closely. Man pro- oses around Camp Ordway, but the sentinels ave a little something to say about the dispo- ion of things and just as the sergeant-major was about to puta footon the gang-plank he was stoppedby the gnard and ordered to produce his pass. He did not have any pass aud the sentry was obdurate. The officer of the guard was appealed to and the case was stated to him, but no permission came from his lips. Finally the sergeant major stoood upon his dignity and informed them that he was of the regular army and they had no jurisdiction over his movements. That struck them like a thousand of the best imported English glazed baikand they socsamiel Onno sara the mother and child were united, and when the gallant cavalryman stepped off on to the wharf the boat glided out into the stream. ENVIOUS OF THE COLONEL’S ABILITY. Col. W. G. Moore of the first rigiment has gone tothe city and will probably be away from camp until Friday. In the meantime the regiment is commanded by Lieut. Col. Walton, This arrangement Will not pre- vent Col. Walton from continuing to play npon the banjo and guitar. The rumor that it would have such a disastrous efféct was the fabrication of some base villain who is en- vious of the colonel’s ability. . BASE BALL. The Washington Light Infrntry bese ball team played a game yesterday afternoon with a picked nine selected from various companies. The Infantry won—l4 to 4. The bat- teries were: Infantry, Lee and Far- reli; picked nine, King and Leach, This aiternoon another — was in in progress in which Wise and Farrell did the honors for the infantry. The other nine was composed of members of the drum corps. “3888 MY LUCK,” remarked a young colored militiaman this morning as he walked past the canteen with a companion, ‘Jess my luck,” he repeated, and he put his hand up to a badly swollen jaw. “Now Ise gittin’ my grub foh nuthen I’se de and can’t eat a thing.” F i i i i L [ bi 4 iy fe i ( [ i The law making appropriations for the eup- Port of the District of Columbia for the fiscal ue 1890, contains the follow- provision: “The President of the United States is hereby authorized to appoint three competent sani- tary engineers, who shall examine and report upon the system of sewerage existing in the District of Columbia, together with such sng- gestions and recommendations as may to them seem necessary or desirable for the modifica- tion and extension of the same, and such re- Port shall be transmitted to Congress by the President at its next session, And for the pur- of defray the expenses of such exami- Eaton and eee tbe aca of $15,000, or £0 appropriate” - LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT. ‘The Commissioners to-day, bearing the above in mind, transmitted the following letter to the President: “‘As the Commissioners have not learned that sny action has been taken in the matter, they deem it possible that this provision has escaped ened observation, or that, as it so intimately re- toa branch of the municipal edministra- tion of the District, you may be depending upon them to WRing it to your attention. The Com- missioners therefore have taken the liberty to address you on the subject and offer to furnish | any information in their possession that will be of service to you in its consideration,” VIEWS OF THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS. In speaking of the above Commissioner Douglass said that he thought the schemes good one. The recent floods, he said, clearly demonstrated that something should be done to correct the sewerage of Washington. His opinion was that flood gates should be provided | at the outlet of the sewers to prevent the tide from coming in, and the sewerage accummu- lating in the meantime could be pumped out, At any rate, he said, the subject was a good one and worthy of much consideration. Commissioner Hine said that he thought much good could be done if an improved method for disposing of the sewage could be devised, Major Raymond said: “The appointment of these sanitery engineers was not recommended by the Commissioners to Congress and was en- tirely unnecessary. The sewerage problem is asimple one, andI think the engineer depart- ment of the District could easily have handled it. If we could have had the money appropri- | ated for this purpose to use in replacing ob- structed sewers I think it would have been a great deal better, and much more good would have resulted,” ——— DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. STREETS TO BE RESURPACED. The bad condition of the streets all over the city has been for some time past the subject of universal complaint of the people in the sev- eral sections, and namerous complaints are daily received by the Commissioners, with requests peremptory and supplicating for their repair. Captain Symons who has charge of this most important work has given the matter considerable attention, the result of whick is the issusnce of an order directing that the following streets be resurfaced and the street railroad presidents notified that the work is to be done, and that they wonld be required to look to the condition of their tracks which were located upon said streets: K from 5th to 7th streets northwest, L from Connecticut avenue to 20th street northwest, 18th from L to M streets northwest, 8th from 15th to 17th streets north- west, 5th from H street to Massachusetts avenue, Sth from N to P streets northwest, O from Sth street to New Jersey avenue, OVER THE BUILDING LINE, Assistant Building Inspector T. J. Holmes in making his rounds this morning found a row of six new brick dwellings, one-story high, in course of erection corner 6th and I streets n.e., extending over the building line 18 inches, ‘The contractor was called upon to explain. He said that the mistake, if it was a mistake, was due to the surveyor’s negligence who staked & out the lines. The ing inspector gave hit notice to tear down the buildings within twenty days and confine himself to the building lines, Mr. Robert Waldron, the contractor, and the owner of the-property in question called upon Building Inspector Entwisle to-day and asked thet he allow the buildings to stand. Mr. Entwisle formed him thst this could not be done. In converen- tion with a Star reporter Mr. Entwisle said: “Too much care cannot be exercised in getting the correct building lines when a house isto be erected. for any occupancy of the streets beyond the building lines is trespass.” There if no doubt, he said, but that Mr. Waldron will have to tear down his buildings.

THE FIASCO AT DAYTON, OmTO, Had the raid on the gang of counterfeiters at Dayton, Ohio, a few days ago been successful, it was expected to furnish another reason for may hw one, The raid appears to have cost a great deal of money and to lave been considerable of a failure. Jim the slick man of the counterfeiters’ gang, got away with ali the plates, it is said, leav: Nelson Driggs, his wife, and one other hands of Mr. Bell, together with some ands of counterfeit movey. The main of the raid to iE object “aad the plates was not accom- plished, and as long as Tyson and his associates are at large and have these plates there is practically no limit to the amount of money they can print. The capture of old Nelson Driggs merely returns him to the where he has but recently serveda term, Maurice Adler’s Condition There is no change in the condition of Maurice Adler. He is no weaker than he was last Sunday and the following day, and all his symptoms are about the same. Those about him do not note any signs of strength, nor on the other hand do they any indications that he is growing weaker. His temperature remains about normal. His shows some slight variations, but is generally about 100. He eats well and im cousumes considerable quantity of milk and beef tea, besides drinking two or three doses of whisky. His family and attendants are very much en- couraged, and some of them express the hope that he will get well. The -doctors, however, express no opinion except to say that bis pres- ent condition is favorable. <a He Denies the Charge.
