English Representatives Return Dis- gusted With Its Outcome. Lospox, July 26.—The English delegates to the socialist convention in Paris, known as the | remain International labor congress, have come back with no very exalted opinion of their foreign brethren who took part in the proceedings. They say that their conventional associates are — and care more about displaying their orat powers than agreeing upon measures tending to advance the cause. The main ob- ject of the English contingent was the promo- tion of the scheme to affiliate progressive so- cieties, no matter by what name known, with trades union everywhere. ‘This was too prac- tical for the others, who said such an import- ant proposition demanded much deliberation and then refused to deliberate upon it. Their idea seems to be that their English associates are base groveling souls, thinking only of the things of this earth and unable to appreciate rhetorical flights about liberty and mysterious hint about the mightly deeds to be done soon. DISGUSTED WITH THE OUTCOME. Messrs. Morris, Hyndman and others of the of the English socialists are disgusted with the issueless outcome of the congress, but are still frank enough to admit that their views ha been somewhat modified by the representa’ ofthe better informed of their continental conferees, who pointed out to them that trades Unions in England were not what they were on the continent. Thus, when the strike of the Berlin bakers seriously disturbed the trade, the government practically made it impossible for the men to succeed by detailing bakers from the ranks of the army to take their places. Asser Liebknecht of the Marxist wing of the Socialists remarked this could not have been done in England and it is just this adverse gov- ernmental faterfence which makes the labor problem in other European countries some- thing much different than in England. GERMAN PRESSURE ON SWITZERLAND. It being considered in Berlin that the re- cently appointed Swiss public prosecutor was not sufficiently energetic in hurrying the social- istic refugees out of the republic an indirect pressure has been brought to bear upon Swit- Zerland by means of » more rigid, one might say inhuman, enforcement of the German cus- toms regulations on the Swiss frontier, Swiss manufacturers and traders have been subjected, in this way, to much annoyance and loss. hint was given at the outset that these annoy- ances could be promptly stopped by the Swiss themselves, if they would attend to their duties with respect to the German socialists residin; among them, and in some quarters it is asserte that the orders of expulsion issued by the gen- eral authorities yesterday was the direct result of this pressure. Whether or not this be true it is certain that this display of pettishness on the part of Ger- many will not tend to improve the already strained relations between the two countries, eat aad THE CHEROKEE COMMISSION, Bitter Opposition of the Indians to Sell- ing Land—The Creeks to be Heard. Cutcaco, July 26.—A dispatch from Fort Gibson, L T., says: The Cherokee commission was met here yesterday by a delegation of Creek Indians, headed by Indian Agent Ben- net,who asked that the Creeks be heard at once in reference to certain technical matters con- cerning the sale of their remaining lands, The request was granted, and Gen. Fairchild has arranged to mect the Creeks at Muscogee to- day. The hard fecling between the Creeks and Cherokees grows more bitter as pending negotiations come to afocus, The Cherokees upbraid the Creeks for the Oklahoma deal and their indignation increases as the Creeks make further preparations to sell. ‘The Cherokees are almost a unit in their ye oape to any and all transactions by which their lands are to be marketed. Chict Mayes demonstrated a firm- ness in refusing to catl the council that bids fair to HANDICAP THE LABORS OF THE COMMISSION at the outset. He is reported to have publicly stated to the commanding officers at Fort Gib- son that he would not call an extra session under any circumstances, Gen. Fairchild ex- essed a desire to confer with the chief at Lablequah as soon as possible, ostensibly with the object of inducing him to call an extra se sion atonce. During the delay that must en- sue before the delegates assemble the general says the commission will go to Cheyenne and Arrapahoe agencies to consider their claims in the Cherokee strip. The most important fact that has occurred to the commission thus far is the length towhich their negotiations must necessarily be protracted, and with the pre hostility demoustrated by the Cherokee au- thorities it may be several months before pre- liminary negotiations can be opened, The com- mission goes to Muscogee to-day. Fallure of a Paper Company. Provivence, B.1., July 26.—The Richmond paper company suspended this morning, The company suspended some little time ago and has been bran 4 under an extension, $300,- v0 new capital being paid in, secured by mortgages, subject, however, to a first mort- gage held by the Rhode Island Hospital trust company for $389,000. The company has had no rating with Bradstreet for some time, Their last statement showed assets of $834,000 and liabilities of $668,000. The plant is a mag- uificent one. ———_—. The Northern Pacific’s Plan. Cucaco, July 26.—A dispatch from St. Paul, Minn., says: Robt. Harris of Ohio, chairman of the executive committee of the board of diree- tors of the Northern Pacific, in an interview last night said, relative to the July meeting in New York: “We havo not yet decided just what we shall do, but the desired end may be reached by the formation of a Northern Pacific collateral trust, which would operate in this way: For in- stance, if money were wanted for improvement of the Tacoma terminals a company might be organized which we will call the Tacoma terminal company. Bonds would be issued; they would be offered in the market and would- be purchasers would ask: ‘What is the Tacoma terminal company?’ And a long-winded ex- janation would be required, and before it was Eat over a purchaser might be lost, Suppose on the other hand, a North@rn Pacific collateral trust is organized, and when such bonds as those referred to are issued jthey could be put into the trust collateral and bonds of the trust offered for sale. Thoname would carry weight with it and the process would be much simpier. $< Burned to Death in Her Bed. Lewiston, Me., July 26.—A house occupied by Mary Ann Graffan, near Sabattis, was burned this morning. Mrs. Graffan lived alone and her charred remains were found in the ruins, she having apparently been burned to death in bed. The cause of the fire is not known, cranes raneaias A Knights of Friendship Conclave. Inpranapout, Ixp., July 26.—The Knights of Friendship, the highest degree in the colored people's order of the United Brotherhood, have been holding their national conclave here, Yesterday they were received by Gov. Hovey and the Indianapolis republican club. The of- ficers of the order were elected as follows: Na- tional commander, Wm. Porter of Memphis; national knight senior, Wm.

Ames from Walker Blaine was received to-day as far as possible the program of the contem- plated visit of the President to the east, as August 6th or 7th, most likely the 7th, He will probably go by rail to New York, thence by the Fall River line to Boston, arriving there the following morning. He will and night in and if there should be = reception it is that be of as gen- eral a es possible under the desires to avoid ceremony as much as ee and will indulge in no -making.

It is not known whether Mrs. Harrison will accompany the President, Secretary Halford will accompany him. Mr, Walker Blaine will join the President at Bos- ton and go with him to Bar Harbor. fo cin amend THE LEWIS BROTHERS?’ FAILURE, Now Believed the Indebtedness in Provi- dence Will be a Million. Provipence, R.1., July 26.—It is now be- lieved that the indebtedness of Lewis Bros. & Co.’s six concerns in this city will amount to fally $1,000,000. It was rumored this morning that the Manville company was heavily involved, but the agents say they are not deep enough in it to make an assignment, The banks are all right. It is impossible to get accurate information from the concerns interested, but they declare poe — not be driven to assignments by the WHAT ASSIGNEE BLISS GAYS. New York, July 26.—Cornelius N. Bliss, as- signee for the embarrassed dry goods firm of Lewis Bros, & Co., said to-day that he could not give an exact estimate of the liabilities or assets of the firm as yet. He would put an ex- pert accountant on the books and _ pre- rR? a statement as soon as sible. Walter H. Lewis, the New York member of the firm, when approached on the subject of the failure referred everybody to the assignee. It is the general impression in the trade that the indebtedness will not exceed $5,000,000, —___ BRAVE JOHN MYERS. He Saves a House from Burning at the Sacrifice of His Own Life. Bartrmore, July 26.—An act of almost un- Paralled fortitude this morning was that of carpenter John Myers which will probably end in the death of that brave man, who is now suffering great agony at his home, Myers was at work on a building when a oline stove exploded within, and the dwelling was threatened with fire. He rushed into the house, grasped the stove around which the flames were leaping, and raising it to his shoulders ran out into the street. The gasoline poured down his back and arms and soon the flames were burning his flesh, but he clung to his fiery burden until he had conveyed it where it could dono further damage. His sole thought was to save the house from de- struction. When he had dropped his burden he was suf- fering intense torture. The bystanders ex- tinguished the flames, His back and arms were literally roasted and the blood ran in streams from his burned body. There is little hope of his recovery, —————— Ex-Senator Dorsey Paroled. New Yor, July 26.—Mr. Stephen W. Dorsoy was in court this forenoon, surrounded by his counsel and a number of friends, At noon Mr. Dorsey was taken into the private chambers of Judge O'Brien. Lawyer Kunzman, who repre- sented Dorsey, assured his honor that his client had no intention of wilfully refusing to comply with the order of the court and that his ne- glect to attend the supplementary proceedings was due entirely to illness, Several affidavits wore submitted in support of this statement, wherenpon Judge O'Brien paroled Mr. Dorsey until Monday. Mr. Dorsey appeared before Thompson, Ack- erly and Kauffman in the Mills building at 1 p. m, and proceedings were at once entered into, It was announced to the press that no information would be given unless tho matter was filed in court, ie a a Inquest on the Dead Nival Officer.

Avexanpnia, Va., July 26.—A belated south- bound Midland passenger train rain into an extra freight train near Waterloo early this morning, derailing five freight cars and badly wrecking them and the engine. Engineer Matthew Acton hag cere ey took tojump his engine, but was caught and dragged ten yards, seriously injuring him internally. © ductor Finks was also hurt. An unknown ne- gro, supposed to be a tramp stealing a ride, was found mashed to death in the wreck. teva Napoleon Ives Brought Into Court. New York, July 26.—Henry 8, Ives, who was brought down from Ludlow street jail ona writ of habeas corpus, was in the supreme court chambers to-day. His counsel tried to get Judge Ingraham to suspend the regular order of business so as to hear argument on the writ. This his honor refused to do and proceeded to dispose of the calendar, The hearing will be given this afternoon. SENT BACK TO JATL. Judge Ingraham, after listening to the argu- ments in the Ives case, dismissed the writ of habeas corpus and remanded the prisoner to Ludlow-street jail. The motion was for the dismissal of the criminal indictments against Ives, nine in num- ber. The court said in dismissing the writ that it could not consider such a motion while the prisoner was locked up under an order of arrest in civil proceedings, + THE CASE OF OFFICER BLOCK. As Accused and Accuser Both Desire In- vestigation, a Warrant Will be Issued. ‘The affidavit made yesterday by Ferdinand Lowenstein charging Officer Block with com- pounding a felony in connection with the case involving the theft and disposition of the Seaton silverware, as published in yesterday's Star, was referred to Prosecuting Attorney Armes to decide whether or not a warrant should be is- sued, It was stated this morning that the case would be nolle prossed, but when asked about the matter Mr, Armes said that Mr. Block re- quested a full and open investigation of the charge, and the other side also seemed anx- ious to have the matter heard. He therefore ordered the issuance of a warrant charging the officer with compounding a felony, and he thought that the warrant would be issued this afternoon, WHAT MR. SIIILLINGTON SAYS, Mr. Shillington, who defended Mr.Lowenstein said toa Sax reporter that he was opposed to in- stituting proceedings against Officer Block and declined to be a to it for the reason that the office’s course, it did not meet with his approval, was sanctioned by the United States attorney's office and afforded no grounds for a criminal prosecution. ‘The warrant was issued and the case was set for trial at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon.

At 7 o'clock the outlook was avery sloppy one. The main road from the wharf through the camp was two or three inches dee} in mud, except where there had been mi traffic, and hy it was anything from six ae to @ foot and as slippery as a waxed oor. Sentinels tramped up and down their weari- some round while rain rolled off the rear of their forage caps down the backs of their necks, It pelted in their faces and trickled in steady streams from the ends of noses that in some instances were really blue from the chilly morning air, ASPIRITLESS MARCH TO BREAKFAST, Breakfast—in which codfish balls were intro- duced for the first time in the history of the camp—was served at the regular hour, but the troops did not go down to the fort in the spirited manner which has hitherto character- The cavalry were in their element this after- noon, and, incidentally, it may be remarked that their element is water—that is their ex- ternal element. When it rains just a little bit they are to be found in their tents, but when it pours down then Lieut. Barbour calls the the troops out for drill. Then how they enjoy themselves. This morn- ing they organized a company of water wor- shipers and paraded on foot for a beer drill. Each man was provided with a bottle of beer which he drank or refrained from drinking, in accordance with the word of comman Sergt. Forsberg stated, confidentially of course, that Haji Hassen Ghouly Khan hi in response to an edict from his impe: “bos,” Nasr-Ed-Din, the shah of Persia, do- nated to the troop eighteen cases of beer. This is probably incorrect.

Capt. omer’s chin is away upin the air now, but his head has not cwelled. Gen. Ordway ordered the guards to be taken The hot coffee was especially grateful to the chilled men and they felt very much better when their spretites were appeased, With the exception of the men on guard but few In- fantry remained where the storm—for it had continually increased in violence—could do them any i they retreated to the | off during the rain. “The mon,” said the gen- tents and whiled away the time with core’ ae ‘ast si od a tetuaiet on eral to Tuz Srak reporter, ‘are down here for instruction, and they can gain no experience by staying out in the rain when everybody else, except the cavalry and [uz Stam reporter is under canvas,” The general is very much better this morn- ing, thank you. He was not justas well yes- terday as he would like to have been, but he is {pe about right to-day. He laughed very eartily this morning at the weather prediction made by the signal officer of fair, warmer weather, Quartermaster General Cranford was in camp yesterday, but had to return to the city this morning. The major did not forget his friends in camp and brought with him several bottle- shaped tokens of his esteem. IN SECRET SESSION, Capt. John Cowie’s tent is alwayz full, The gathering generally includes Capt. A. W. Kelley, Major Dalton, Surgeon Hamilton E. Leech, Capt. J. 8. Miller and Lieut. Moore. The proceedings generally conducted in secret session and it must be dark when the flaps are tied down for Capt. Miller, who sits with his back to the door, has been heard to mak several remarks about “blinds.” Family af- fairs have also been under discussion nk the absent ones are not forgotten. Dr, Leach made several remarks about his “aunty” and at one time said he was going toraise her. ‘This lat- ter remark gave rise to the rumor that the doc- tor was about to embark in the resurrectional business, The doctor, however, will still con- tinue to practise medicine. STARS WANTED, The following letter is self-explanatory: not quite as fortunate, for their horses had to be attended to. Through the Mga gee g mud they splashed and slid, and when ani- mals were watered there was a little cleaning up to be done. The mounted men have a good deal more work to do than the foot soldiery, ‘and they do it un¢omplainingly and well. ‘THE VISIT OF THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS, Commissioners Douglass and Hine did not know yesterday afternoon when they listened tothe roar of welcoming artillery—the first salute ever fired in honor of either of them— that the powder which caused the sounds was older than they were. But it was. When it was made no one knows, but the records show that it was stored away in a gov- ernment magazine for the first time in the year 1822. 6 seventeen guns boomed out their hoarse greeting at about 5:30 yesterday afternoon, when Gen, Ordway welcomed the Commissioners to the camp which affectionate subordinates insisted on giving his name to, The ambulance was in waiting and the honored and honorable guests were at once taken oa to the camp and to the parade ground, where the dress parade was under way. In a'rather hur- ried manner, for time was short, the camp was inspected and then a few minutes were spent at the general’s headquarters, where lemonade and other non-intoxicating beverages were dis- posed of. The next point of interest was the head- juarters mess, and there dinner was served, There were no 8) hes, and the few toasts, which were drunk in soda water, were of the least elaborate but most truly personal char- acter. Both Commissioners expressed them- Camp Onpway, July 26. selves as very much pleased with what they | M7. Harries: had seen and what they had toeat. Both wero} Dean Sim: When you go up to the city this satisfied that the national guard of the’ Dis- trict of Columbia has come to stay and to be a model for the militia of the various states, The; congratulated Gen. Ordway upon the magnifi- cent showing made by the guard, and then con- grattlated the guard upon having such a com- der as Gen. Ordway. If the District Com- ioners can do anything to help the home militia they will do it and esteem it a pleasure that they have it in their power to render aid to such a worthy organization. ‘THE SANITARY CONDITION OF THE CAMP GOOD, Surgeons H. E. Leach, BR. A. Foster, and 8, A. H. McKim, of the first, second, and third battalions, held their regular morning consul- tation as to the sanitary condition of the camp of the first regiment and they are sat- isfied that everything is in first-class order. The * police ” work is excellent they said, and there is no disease and no mbes pend of any. A few slight cases of the regular and to be Ge eo camp diar- rheea, and one or two sore throats are all the afflictions of any monent. The only burials have been those of jiggers, and they have buried themselves—right beneath the hide of a tt many. Some few cases of indigestion on resulted in attacks of hives, but they were trivial. The doctors propose to return the men to the bosom of their families in a better lg es condition than that which they took with them into camp. For this General Ordway will be held responsible. He selected the camp, and if wives, mothers and boarding- house mistresses grumble at the increased con- sumption of victuals they must charge it up to the general and to the ozone-laden air, THE COLORED TROOPS, Too much commendation cannot be given to the colored troops—the seventh and eighth battalions. From the moment of their em- barkation down to the present time they have never given anyone, not even the most critical, the shadow of # reason for doubting that they were perfect gentlemen, They have been prompt on duty of all kinds and at all times. They march to the mess-sheds silently and unob- trusively and eat their meals without disorder among themselves or annoyance to their neigh- bors. On parade they do remarkably well and their guard duty is always up to the mark, Their camp, which is separated from that of the remainder of the second regiten’ by the road, is beyond question the cleanest on the reservation. e tents and out is nothing but a soldierly neatness most creditable to the battalions, The elite of the seventh battalion amused themselves on Thursday night by having a a mill in one of the ouapny, streets, much tothe delight of their fellow soldiers, ‘There were several aspirants for fistic honors, but, as all of them failed to come to the scratch, after a few rounds of futile wind pi the contest was cailed a draw.

Symons on the Request of the 8th Street N.E. Property Holders. As heretofore stated in Tat Strap there are quite e number of contracts for street im- provements held up as a precautionary measure to prevent the work overrunning the esti- mates. Several days ago a large delegation of property owners from 8th street northeast, called on the Commissioners and requested that their streets be commenced at once and suggested that less important streets be held up in preference to theirs, The matter wasre- ferred to Captain Symons, who, in iy upon the case for the benefit of the Bi rs, BAYS. ‘The rier of this letter asks that 8th street northeast be not delayed, but that it be im- that 3d street from E to F and A from 8th to 9th be delayed. maceat at ich seo bei in, 8 wi is to ft and “over” $a etrest and A street and Portion which is proposed to be left off, from E to F, is on one side of the street solidly built up, not vacant lot, and as the completion of this square will connect with pavement on F street, which has been laid to 3d, and in this manner connecting a completed round of pave- ment up F and out3d._I therefore recommend that — be not deferred, as I believe it to be of more importance than the pavement on 8th street, ‘The short block on A street from 8th to 9th might possibly be delayed better than the 8th street, but it will not take its place inamounts, As it is altogether probable that 8th street will be done during the resent year I have the honor to recommend it the work delayed be allowed to stand as itis. IfnotI the living on the streets which it is proposed to leave out in the cold should have an opportunity to be heard.” DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, for the first two days of the camp the boys | Smerade system of the city the thet that time the food he become hss it food Pattee non bare beak ans Crt er what thoy lost the first two days by seeing how much they could eas, and as the contest is. still fore a ie and regularity it will hard to tell whether the commissary will be able to satisty their petites, The physical well- of colored troops and men been themselves very xeellen ‘men showed moet conclusively thet the regi- Page amned food, said the i pe air, and the best to Mrs, B.

First Report of the Board of Visitors— ‘The board of visitors recently appointed by the Commissioners to examine into the man- egement of the Washington asylum visited the ecylum last week and to-day submitted to the Commissioners their first report. They say that a more complete report will be made at some future time,as they were very much Pressed for time and did not make as thorough en exainination as they would have liked The report is as follows: “We find the building in a neat, clean and orderly condition, well kept, and the inmates treated as well as could be expected under the circumstances and with the facilites at the dis- posal of the intendant. - “We would most respectfully recommend that more nutritious food be given to the sick in ‘the hospital. We find many cases of sickness, and would recommend that more vegetables be INSUFFICIENT BATHING ACCOMMODATIONS. “We find only twobath tubs of small dimen- sions for the use of 171 inmates and would sug- gest that a emall brick building be erected near the main building, the upper part to be — for closets Kh @ lower part fitted ad with large baths with proper arrangements for beating the water, = gh fie founda one-story brick building, 60 by 24 ‘eet, containing eighty beds or cots, with the same number of inmates, who are com- led to eat and sleep in the same room.

We would also suggest that sugar be used in the coffee instead of molasses, “We are of the opinion that when a keeper or attendant is discharged by the intendant he should not be reinstated by any official without the sanction of the intendant, believing that Pegi order and discipline would be maintained y so doing. INMATES WHO WON'T WoRK. “There should be some way of compelling those sent to the work house to work, as we understand from the intendant that there are numbers sent there who refuse to work, but avail themselves of all the privileges of medi- cal attendance, as well as clothing for their children, “There are now several colored is with babies from one to six weeks old who have been there for several months acd refuse to do any- thing. It seems tobe regarded by them as a country home, with nothing to do and plenty to eat, PENSIONED INMATES. “There are several of the alms house inmates who are drawing pensions, which should be turned over to the Commissioners and go towards their support, instead of being used for liquor as soon as they get out; then they are sent back as soon as their mar | in spent, to be supported at the expense of the Commis- sioners, <“We think all who are able should work, idle- ness not being eucouraged. There should be sufficient vegetables raised on the farm, with perhaps the exception of potatoes, for the use of the inmates. We also think the alms house and work house should be under separate management, with a general superin- tendent in charge of both, as one man, the buildings being separate, cannot attend to the details of both institutions properly.” The report is signed by Mrs. A. P. Clark, Mrs. Millmore, and Messrs. F. L. Moore aad 0. G. Staples. Mr. W. ©. Dodge is absent from the city. Robbed His Employer.

Becond, So Renee te at Washington ctty, og G. Fowxs, Governor, FATHER CURLEY BURIED, Simple but Impressive Services Over the Kemains of the Venerable Priest. Simple but impressive were the funeral ceree monies over the remainsof the late Father Curley at Holy Trinity church in age this morning. Early in the day the body the venerable priest was removed from the south room of the Georgetown university in- firmary to the parlor, where it remained and was viewed by many friends of the deceased until the time arrived for its removal to the church, The features of the dead prelate and Scientist were as natural as during life. Just before 10 o'clock the funeral cortege left the college buildings, where for over years the face and form of the dead Priest had been familiar, en route to the church. The procession was headed by the cross bearers and altar boys bear: candies and incense, The procession moved silen' along the street until the church was reac! Many heads of spectators on the sidewalks along the route of the procession were uncov- ered in respect to the memory of the aead priest who was held in such high esteem, 1S THE Cuvacn. There had assembled at the church some time before the last sad rites were to be pers formed a large gathering of friends of the de- ceased, Among them were not a few | ogee ates of Georgetown university. Upon ar- rival of the body at the churce the main doors wrere swang open noiselessly and the body was received by Rev, Father Rocrofort. Toward the altar moved the procession, and before reaching the chancel rail the remains were placed upon acatefalque, aroand which burned caudles, Chairs for more than forty of the clergy had bsen arranged within the chancel rail, and before the services began the clergy appeared upon the altar and seated themselves, When all had been seated the cardinal, in his scarlet robes and cap, was recognized as he ay peared in the doorway leading to the altar, He took position to the left of the altar and re- mained kneeling in prayer for several mo~ ments. So simple was the ceremony that a pore tion of the mass was recited instead of being chanted. THE CELEBRANT WAS THE REV. FATHER CLARKE, the oldest living graduate of Georgetown uni- versity. Upon conclusion of the mass attend- ants upon the cardinal appeared with white and black robes and the rretta, The scarlet robes were quickly changed for the others, and after this the berretta was placed on his head, This being done the cardinal aye to the casket and sprinkled upon it holy water, nouncing the last absolution for the of Father Curley. The remains were then borne down the aisle to the hearse, followed by « choir — a whose chant ings leeply impressed those present, Suchen thoven ermal trying to shine and the clouds to break away the remains of Father Curley were consigned to their last resting- in the little -graveyard attached to the university. Those who were in attendance upon the services were Fathers Doonan, Mul- laly, Dougherty, O'Connell, Harlin, Mulooney, Petit, Nicholson, McLaughlin, Greene and Roche of Loyola college, Buitimore; O'Leary of Worcester, Mass., and O'Kane of Woodstock, The choir from Woodstock was composed of Father Powell and Messrs, Le Autier, O'Con- nell, Fleming, O'Gorman and Quirk. —< His Sentence Remitted.

Smith, who was recently tried in New York city by a naval court-martial on a charge of leaving his ship without permission. The court sentenced him to six months’ sus- pension from duty on furlough pay, but, in view of the fact that they did not conmder bim responsible, recommended clemency, He will be released from arrest at once, Col. Tichexon, assistant secretary of the Treasury, returned to the city last night from an extended trip along the New England coast While away he inspected the customs adminis- tratio: New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, and also, in company with Mr. Kimball, the su- perintendent of the life saving service, in- spected a number of stations and established several new ones, ——_-——__—.
