Wag Surrs Onperep to Brazi.—Secretary Tracy has cabled Rear Admiral Gillis, who is stationed at Montevideo with the vessels Rich- mond and Tallapoosa, to sail for Brazil at once. ‘The dispatch contained a warning about yellow fever, but gave no detailed instructions to the admiral, No fear is entertained in the State and Navy de; ents concerning United States interests in Brazil, but it was thought best to have a couple of war ships conveniently located in the event of serious disturbances. Itis su posed that Admiral Gillis did not wait for the upon receipt of ihe nows of the change of gor- upon receipt of the news e cl ‘ot gov- ernment there, If he sailed then promptly the ship should have reached Rio by this time as the voyage from Montevideo occupies from ane re to a week, to the wind and weather.

Candidates for Clerk, Sergeant-at-Arms, Doorkeeper and Postmaster. There is some talk of combinations between speakership candidates and candidates for the minor offices of the House, but thus far no such combination is understood to have been made. Major John M. Carson, who appears to be in the leadin the race for the clerkship, it is understood, will enter into no combination, but will conduct his campaign on an independent basis, His friends are very confident of his election, though there is a harder fight being made over that office than any of the rest. The contest between Major Carson and Mr. Mc- Pherson seems to turn upon which will have a majority of the Pennsylvania delegation. Sen- ator Quay was credited with taking an active interest in the fight, but he declares that he has no intention of interfering in the matter. Rev. Dr. John’ Chester seems jo be the only ean active candidate for the chaplaincy. He has the indorsement of the republican league. From time to time names are mentioned in connection with the place of sergeant-at-arms, but thus far there seems to be no well planned and systematic canvass being made for that pee Col. Swords of Iowa, William Leeds of spel delete Capt. A. H. Reed of Minnesota and others have been spoken of. If the speak- ership does not go to Ohio it is likely that an Ohio man will get this place. That fact will not, however, figure in the speakership cam- paign. Mr. McComas is vigorously pressing the claims of his candidate for doorkeeper, Mr. Chas. B, Adams of Maryland. It is understood that Mr. Adams has the support of the south- ern republicans, and a conference is contem- plated to bind them to make it a condition upon which they vote for any speakership can- didate that his support in turn be thrown to Mr, Adams. J. R. McKee of Indiana is most prominently spoken of to succeed Mr. Dalton as postmastcr of the House, and though some persons are objecting to an Indiana man, it is generally supposed that he will be elected. PRESIDENTIAL PPOINTMENTS. Mrs. Goodloe’s Son-in-Law Succeeds Her Husband as Collector. The President today appointed Thomas Clay McDowell of Kentucky to be collector of inter- nal revenue for the seventh district of Ken- tucky, in place of W. C. Goodloe, decased. Mr. McDowell wae a son-in-law of the late Col. Goodloe. The President late yestemiay afternoon made the following appointments: John M. Glazier of Pennsylvania, to be col- lector of customs for the district of Erie, Pa. James E. French of New Hampshire, to be collector of internal revenue for the district of New Hampshire. Charles F, Kimball of Michigan, to be ap- praiser of merchandise in the district of De- troit, Mich, Josoph C. Rs fs of New York, to be assist- ant appraiser of merchandise in the district of New York. THE RERATED PENSIONS. Secretary Noble Giving Time and At- tention to These Cases. DECIDED ACTION WILL BE TAKEN—MONEY IL- LEGALLY PAID MUST BE REFUNDED—SONE OF THE RERATED OFFICIALS WILL BE DIS- MISSED, Now that Secretary Noble has about com- pleted his annual report he is devoting some time to the consideration of other matters of department bysiness. Porhaps the:most im- portant item which engages his attention is the disposition of what are known as the rerated pension cases. The Secretary is making ® careful examination of these cases and has consulted with Assistant Attorney General Shields, the law officer of the department, in regard to the legal questions involved. The Secretary has come tothe conclusion to de- mand in all cases where a violation of law is shown the RETURN OF THE MONEY ILLEGALLY PAID. Ademand of this kird will not be made in all these cases, for some of them were decided in accordance with law, the only irregularity beit that they were taken out of their re; order and given the prefer- ence in the final adjudication. There is a class of cases of which that of Hiram Smith, the first deputy commissioner, is an example. He was granted a rerating in July last, when, it is said, the back pension amounted to some 26,000. This case was one of nine or ten similar ones based upon A DECISION MADE BY COMMISSIONER TANNER. The report of the commission which investi- gated the rerated cases pronounced this de- cision as without precedent and not justi- fied by the law. The point to be determined by the Secretary is whether this judgment of the commission is correct. The Secretary has about reached a conclusion in regard to these cases as well as the others, and in a short time his decision will be made known, He proposes to act directly in this matter instead of ugh the commissioner of pensions, as the understanding was when the latter assumed the duties of the office that he would be relieved from all connection with the controversy which had resulted in the resignation of Mr. Tanner. The decision of the Secretary, however, will be made operu- tive mainly ugh the machinery of the pen- sion office. IN THE CASES OF RERATED EMPLOYES, where there is a chance of recovering money, 8 demand will be made for ite return, In many of the cases the money has been spent and the only recourse for the Secretary is to dismiss the pensioners from office, which ho will do at once, A beginning will be made probably tomorrow by dismissing two em- loyes in the pension office whose pensions ave been rerated, They were asked some = ago to restore the money, but they replied THEY HAD ALREADY SPENT IT. The amount received by them is compara- tively small—about $1,000 each. While they could be retained in the service and their pen- sions and probably also their salaries could be retained, yet the Secretary does not wish to ursue that course in these cases, ie may do it in others, but that has not been decided upon. ere is one thing definitely determined and that is the action which willbe taken soon in the dia- ition of these casesis only the tt it will be rapidly followed up until the entire matter is disposed of. It is stated that there is a probability of the pening | taking legal ‘action in some cases which he finds can only be reached in this way. The City Post Office Commission. Col. Whitfield, the second assistant postmas- ter general, who prepared the report of the city post office commissioh, which was pub- lished in yesterday's Stan, was formerly post- master at Cincinnati, It was during his term that Congress decided to replace the old and antiquated building in that city with a *: The sit dpm ate structure. ituation similar to that of Cincinnati several years ago in a to post office accommodations, Col. bohis in common with other members of Telegrams to The Star.

A Big Budget of News About the Habit- ues of the Diamond. Curcaco, Nov. 21.—Fifteen brotherhood players assombled last night at the Tremont. The session was not long, but it was evident from the sound of animated discussion which issued from the room that much was going on. When the meeting broke up Mark Baldwin was approached for an interview. He denied that any formal mecting had been held, saying it was only a friendly gathering of some of the brotherhood men who wanted to talk over their bright prospects. At 10 o'clock Fred Pfeffer came into the hotel, having just arrived from the east. He was highly enthusiastic about the recent success of the brother- hood and showed the papers on which he had signed Dell arling, John Tener, Hugh Duffy and Charley’ Farrell, He says that nearly all the New York players have been signed and the work of putting the grounds in order for the coming season is be- ing commenced in all the league cities, He says the Chicago team is also almost filled up. Johnny Ward of the New Yorks is expected to- day or tomorrow, and it is quite probable that another meeting will be held upon his arrival. It is rumored that Glasscock signed Get- zein and Buckley for the brotherhood, but from another source comes another rumor that Glasscock has been in Chicago signing players for the league. A MASCOT SECURED. Pitrspure, Nov. 21.—Galvin, Miller, Field, Kuehne and Hanlon have signed the regula- tion players’ contract of the players’ national league club of Pittsburg. John M. Ward, who is here, also secured the signature of DeWolf Hopper, playing at the Bijou theater, as mascot to the new league. All the stock has been sub- scribed for the players’ national league club in Pittsburg. A PREDICTION. Cutcaco, Nov. 21.—A dispatch from Mil- waukee says: Robert Lowe, now with the Boston team, is in the city endeavoring to close a contract with the Milwaukee management for the sale of three infielders of the local nine. When asked what he thought would be the out- come of the coming struggle he said: “Well, from what I can see, I am confident that the brotherhood will triumph and the American association go to the wall. The National league, of course, will maintain its ground, as its strong financial ' backing will permit it to compete with anything the brotherhood may advance. As to wi er they will have many of their old players ‘nnot say, but I do know the minor leagues furnished the best material they are composed of, and some of the clubs are after moro of these men.” THE INTERNATIONAL. Derrorr, Micu., Nov. 21—The announce- ment made Inst night that at yesterday's meet- ing of the International association Saginaw and Grand Rupids were admitted was incorrect, Their petitions for franchises were referred to a special committee, which will report at the meeting in Toronto in March, MIKE FADDEN, Bostox, Nov. 21.—A Herald special from Portland says Mike Fadden will today signa contract for three years with the Boston brotherhood team at a yearly salary of $2,700. GRIFFIN SIGNS, Bartrmore, Mp., Nov. 21.—Center Fielder Griffin of the Baltimore club has signified his intention to sign with the brotherhood men. FARRELL FOR CHICAGO. Marvsoro, Mass., Nov. 21.—Charles Farrell of this town, catcher of the Chicago league team for the past season, has signed to play in the Players’ National league team of Chicago, A PLAYER FOUND DEAD.
