In the examination of Surgeon Herndon by the McCalla court of inquiry yesterday after ‘Tux Stan's report closed the witness said that no stitches were required in Walker's wound. In reply to.a question by Lawyer Choate he said that Capt. MeCalla treated the officers and crew of the ship “with every courtesy.” Tne Surgeon said that the sanitary condition of the ship was good—as good as the average of all naval vessels. Asst, Paymaster J. A. Mudd testified that at the time of the Walker trouble the ship was very quiet; that suddenly s row argse in the engine room and Mulligan ordered it stopped. Walker came on.deck and spoke in an insolent mannner to Mulligan. The commander struck Walker three times, the first blow being light and the others more severe. Ou cross-examination witness said he did not think Walker was very drunk. In fact he wasn't sure that Walker was drunk. He thought it was necessary to discipline Walker. He was very glad to see Mc reduce Walker to sub- mission by cutting him down, for things were getting serious. his opinion there were only two things for the commander to do—first to juiet Walker and then to assert his authority. ‘This he did at the right time. He said he heard Commander McCalla re- mark one day after the incident when Walker had pamed rivg Soe lane to be paid that Walker was oucof the best men he bad wud be was surprised when Walker deserted.

AN ALLEGED CONSHIBACY, Mr. Choate said he wanted to prove by the witness that there was 4 conspiracy to injure the commander, and unless certain letters that this witucss bad written were produced be could not gain the necessary infurmatiou. ‘The court ruled that his private correspond- would bave full protection. Mr. Choute made several appeals, ‘but to no purpore. | He wna told that if he could produce such letters that he would be allowed to cross-examine the witness in relation to them, Eusign G. W. Kline said he kaew of ten and twelve men to be chained in pairs aud made to murch on the quarter deck for hours. He said the commander seldom, if ever, investigated complaints made by the officers. He suid he was Teiendly, not hostile to the commander, but wus not grateful for the treatment he re- ceived trom him, A Protest From the Drummers. E. A. Harlston of Troy and J, P. Tuckerman of Utica, N. ¥.,a@ committee representing the Commercial Travelers Mutual Accident Asso- ciation of America, are here with resolutions adopted by their association protesting against the appointment of John A. Place, editor of the Oswego (N.¥.) Daily Times, who is an ap- plicant for the position of postmaster of that city. Their opposition to Mr, Place and that of the association ie bused on an editorial re- cently published in that journal in which it was stated that the term ‘‘arummer” had be- come synonymous with that of “rake, profli- gute, masher and seducer,” &c. The committee called at the department yesterday and pre- sented their complaint to Postmaster General Wanamaker, A Collapsed Attack, From the Providence Journal. It bas been noticed, no doubt, that the inves- tigation into the conduct of the civil service commission, over which was raised such a blare of trumpets by the opponents of the civil service law, has very suddenly dropped en- tirely out of sight. The explanation of ite sud- den disappearance is in the simple fact that it collapsed. It was ordered by Congress in the interests of the supporters of the spoils idea, It was practically an attack by the latter class of politicians upon the reform cause as a whole, nd it had the secret support of gentlemen who giand high in administration circles. But, despite its strong backing, it was doomed to failure from the start, and in its ignominious collapse it has brought nothing but ridicule and discredit upon its promoters. The charges against the commission were presented in @ very unsatisfactory shape, as was rendily seen to be natural when it wax sub- sequently found that the irrespousible persons who preseuted them knew nothing whatever about the subject. Such as they were, bow- over, they were promptly and effectually met by the commissioners, The investigation has come to naught, there- fore, simply because there was vothing of im- elon to mvestigate. The charges were awed for the most part on deceptions aud misrepresentations. In no case could they be fully sustaied, while iu most cases they failed aliogetner, and the commissioners have risen rather than fulien im public respect and conti- dence as a result of the exumiuation inte their conduct.
