Repreventative-elect Simonds of Connecticut isat the Arlington. He has taken ® very Pleasant house on the corner of 10th and O streets, and is fitting it up for the reception of his family, who will be here about the ist of November. Mr. Simonds isa young man still, and will be regarded asone of the handsome men of the next House. There is something in his appearance that reminds one a little of Gibson of Maryland. He has a remarkably bright eye and a pleasant expression of coun- tenance. He is a prompt and good talker, evi- dently informed on public affairs, and has agreeable manners, The things his people are particularly interested in are the tariff and the opening —- trade with the Spanish-American nations. He describes the tariff situation quite accurately in one expression. He says one might as well try to guess the form akalei- doscope will: take when shaken as to dict what Congress will do with the tariff, He con- siders it extremely desirable to open up trade to the south, and thinks we coull's ‘afford uite liberal concessions to the Spanish-Amencan People with this in view. THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW. A Sra reporter asked him what he thought of the civil service law, and if there would, in his opinion, be serio i nye {ag any jus effort to repeal it “Undoubtedly there is a decided opposition to the law among the workers of both parties, but ») ing entirely from a partisan point of view I think patronage is a positive evil. I have no slurs to cast upon a man who seeks office. I think any man may have an honor- able ambition to hold an ottice, and that he has @ perfect right to seek it, but the ion of patronage is a positive injury toa andi think the civil service law should be maintained and extended as far and as rapidly as it can be of benefit to the public service,” THE QUESTION OF THE RULES. Speaking of the approaching session of Con- gress, he said he was looking for a lively and interesting session. He expected that the fight on rules would start with the opening of the session and be very bitter. He was a new member, he said, and could not speak of such matters as understandingly as some others could, but it was very apparent to him that some change of rules was nece: , and he considered that the first important thing there would be s hard fight over. Ho anticipated a Great deal of trouble in settling the details of a tariff bill, he said, The manufacturers of wools in his state had practicaliy agreed with the wool growers on the question of wool and woolen duties, but Connecticut and Penn- eats migh clash a little over the question on iron, CONSUL ee LEWIS ON TRIAL. He Appears at the State Department—A Hearing with Closed Doors. The hearing of the charges and explanations in the case of Wm. Reid Lewis, United States consul to Morocco, wes begun at 11 o'clock this morning before Secretary Blaine in the diplomatic room of the State department, Mr. Lewis reached town yesterday morning and took ® room at Wormley’s, afterward reporting at the State department. The Secretary asked him to come again, as the cabinet session would prevent a hearing yester- day, A Stax reporter who €alled at Wormley's this morning was told that Mr. Lewis had gone to Baltimore for the day. He must have changed his mind, for he appeared at the department on time, Benezuli, the (fez merchant who makes the charges, and fe rea the interpreter who has been requested by the State department to give information, were prevent, and the papers in the case were sent for from the bureau. The hear- ing was secret. The charges, it will be re- membered, are that Lewis extorted money from merchants for protection, and in several other ways acted in a manner not altogther regular, TWO ARMY APPOINTMENTS. Lts. True and Hyde to be Assistant Quar- termasters With the Rank of Captain. The President has appointed Theo, E. True, first lieutenant, fourth infantry, and John McE. Hyde, first lieutenant, eighth infantry, to be assistant quartermasters with the rank of cap- tain. Lieut. True was born in Lllinois. He ‘was made s corporal in the seventeenth Illinois infantry April 25, 1861, and was commissioned first lieutenant on the 26th of February, 1876. Lieut. Hyde during the war was a private in company A, seventy-first New York regiment. He was commissioned first lieutenant on March 26, 1878. ABMY OFFICERS PLEASED THAT CIVILIANS WERE NOT APPOINTED. ‘The announcement of these appointments has caused general relief in the minds of army officers, who feared that the President was going, in filling these vacancies, to continue the policy indicated by the recent *ppointment of acivilian toa staff position, ‘is action excited considerable unfavorable comment among service men of all grades, and ever since the LU pera there has been a half sup- pressed objection visible on all sides, It is underst that the President has said that in his opinion his predecessor was wrong in refusing to appoint civilians to the army where the law allowed it, and the general impression is that Secretary Proctor had about decided to recom- mend that one of these latter vacancies be given to an outsider, but that the unmistakable sentiment of the army, saa cance to such a step, caused him to change his mind. THE YOUNGER OFFICERS GROWL. There has been a httle criticism already by some of the younger officers that the staff vacancies should be filled by what they are pleased to term ‘old hulks,” and thus the gen- eral satisfaction is somewhat allayed, It seems to be the Secretary's policy to reward, as far as he can, those old officers who have by reason of the slow rate of promotion in their branches of the service, stood still for @ good many years, and in this he is almost universally ap- plauded both by service men and civilians, the growls of the younger men to the contrary not- withstanding.

Baker, consul of the United States at Buenos Ayres, under date of August 23 for- wards to the State department the trade re- turns of the Argentine Repyblic for the six months ending June 30, 1889, just published by the national statistics office. They show an in- crease in imports of $11,910,940 and an increase in exports of $20,956,120. ports the legitimate products of the country,” says Mr. Baker, ‘the increase would be a most pening Star.

Loxpox, Oct. 23.—The announcement cabled here two weeks ago of the discovery of the long-forgotten grave of Lord Howe, the hero of the battle of Ticonderoga in 1758, under a street of the village of that name in New York state, mulated the. patriotism of a few public-spirited Englishmen, who propose to ap- eee mark the resting place of the young ero. Funds are being quietly collected for the purpose, and an artistic monument will be erected at a convenient spot near Ticonderoga to = the remains can be conveniently re- mov. RUSSIA AFTER MOUSSA BEY. Turkish officials in Constantinople have been thrown intoa fever of excitement by the dis- covery that Russian agents have been at work for over three months in Armenia gatheri evidence of the cruelty and outrages practic: by the Turks and Kurds upon the helpless Armenian Christians, The Russians have done their work so quietly that not a hint of their object reached the ears of the Turkish tyrants, and now that the evidence is in such shape as can be used to bring it to the notice of all Christendom the author- ities in Constantinople get their first glimpse of the object of the wily Russian. The uews of the secnrey was at once conveyed to the sultan, whose first move was to send for the qihaee investigating the charges against Moussa, y, the governor of Armenia, and coun- termand bis former instructions to them to ac- quat the accused at all hazards. The necessity for taking immediate action to redress the wrongs of the Armenian Christians is now for the first time recognized in the Turkish capital, It is seen that Russia now has a case to justify in the Ses of Europe, an invasion of Armenia to its Christiam imbabitants from the re- volting cruelties ~ heretofore _ repeatedly charged, but never proved against their Turkish masters, It is seen that the blow is ready to fall, and, if anything is tobe done to avert it, it must be done at once. The first result of the discovery promises to be the conviction and severe sentence of Moussa Bey, notwithstanding the evident pur- pose all along to set him free to repext his acts of oppression and cruelty. There is every evidence that the porte has become thoroughly awake to the perils of the situation, and that the long-sought reforms in the administration of Armenia will be put in force with feverish haste and ostentatious publicity to the ear of Christian Europe. Whether or not these meas- uresat the eleventh hour will avail to turn away the impending blow,for which Russia has seemingly raised her arm, remains to be seen.

A FRENCH VIEW OF IT, Parts, Oct. 23.—The Journal des Debats, com- menting on the visit of Emperor William to Turkey and its effect upon the European situa- tion, recalls the declaration made by Prince Bismarck that the eastern question was not worth the bones of asingle Pommeranian gren- adier and the fact that Emperor William dur- ing the banquet to the czar on his late visit to Berlin toasted the Russian army which captured Plevna. The Journal points out that under these circumstances it would be impossible for the sultan to ee the triple alliance. It also says that Turkey has an army which enables her to dipense with allies, Nothing menaces Turkey, whose —— is best assured by her independence. French interests in the east are bound up with the interests of Turkey, and con- sequently there isno more decided a partisan of the integrity of Turkey than Fran SERVIAN DIPLOMACY, Berorape, Oct. 23.—The Servian government has abolished all ite consulships in the German cities aud intrusted their business to the hands of the Russian consuls appointed by the czar.

SUMPTUARY CONFISCATION. The Iowa Supreme Court Sustains the Seizure of $400,000 Worth of Property. Des Morres, In. Oct. 23.—In two cases in which decisions were banded down by the supreme court yesterday, the opinions having been prepared by Judge Given, ser- eral old features and some new ones of the pro- hibitory law are passed upon. Among the questions is the right of the state, by legislative seme to the personal p: iy of a defe: t without process of law, it being claimed that the statutes aut ing such pro- cedure are in conflict with the Constitution of the United States and lowa. The opinion holds that ins criminal action for nuisance _—— the man the place kept by him is on also, and therefore there is due process of law. This is a matter that has been much discussed and involves a grave question of the power of state legislatures, and it is a question that will doubtless take the case to United States Supreme Court for decision. The property rendered valueless by this order of the court exceeds $400,000 in value and consists of brew- eries in the city of Burlington. —_—o—— A BRAVE BOY. He Lost His Own Life in Saving that of a Frightened Woman. Lovursvitze, Ky., Oct. 23.—Vandyke Heyser, an eighteen-year-old boy, who was injured in the wreck at Nolin station, 53 miles below here, on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, yester- day morning, died in the afternoon. Heyser was a farmer's boy and was coming to Louisville to get employment. When the mail train made ite frightful appearance and all began to flee Heyser rose and ran toward the coach door. He was almost out on the platform and ina second more would have been safe, when a frightened woman reached his side, nearly | fainting with terror, She would have fallen had not Heyser seen her condition aud nobly come tober rescue. 5 ting her with one arm he stepped to one side and assisted her to ass him, gently forcing her out to the plat- ‘orm. Before he could follow her the mail train crushed into the accommodation. The heroic boy was caught in the shattered ruins and fatally injured. There were nineteen in- jured in the accident. Ses OCCIDENTAL AND ORIENTAL. The Chinese Exclusion Act Has Reduced Pacific Ocean Traffic. Say Fraxcisco, Oct. 23.—Geo. H. Rice, traftic manager of the Occidental and Oriental and the Pacific Mail steamship companies, un- nounces that the new schedule of the Occidental and Oriental company will go inte effect on the 29th inst.; that thereafter six steamers—three belonging to each company—would perform the service between this port and China now performed by eight vessels, “The Arabic,” said Manager Rice, “will go back to England, as there is no more use for her. The City of New York and the City of Sydney will be placed on the Panama line, steamers a n.onth.” Mr. Rice said the withdrawal of two steamers from the China service was owing partly to the | putting into effect of the Chinese exclusion act, which reduced the amount of Chinese travel, and partly competition of the Canadian Pacific road. The new steamship China, which is to take the place of the three vessels withdrawn, will arrive here about the 26th from Glasgow. She is 5,000 tons burden and is one of the = and fastest boats plying between here and China. —_._ OH THE SNOW. How it is Falling all over the Land Today.
