Loxpox, Jaly 26.—When the National line steamer Egypt was abandoned her correct po- sition was in latitude 46° 24’ north, longitude 83° 4’ west. The vessel may still be afloat and in that event she would be a dangerous ob- struction to vessels in the transatlantic trade. ‘The carpenter of the Egypt repudiates the statement attributed to him and published here yesterday that he believed the cotton on the steamer was on fire when she left New York and that her small boats were worthless, In a statement to Capt. Sumner, commander of the Egypt, the carpenter today says that he examined the holds and hatches previous to the steamer's departure from New York and found no trace of fire. The boats belonging to the steamer, he says, were in first-class condi- — DR. BURTSELL’S NEW CHURCH. He Will Probably Come to Baltimore From New York. Baxrrwone, July 26.—A report comes here from New York that Rev. Dr. Burtsell will be made pastor of achurch in Baltimore upon his retirement from the archdiocese of New York. Official confirmation or denial of the trath of the story is not to be had here. Cardinal Gibbons left about a week ago for Boston and Bar Harbor, the chancellor of the arch diocese, Very Rev. P. J. Donahue, has gone to Halifax on vacation and the cardinal’s secretary, Rev. Johi . Whelan, has just returned to the city after a short absence, and has not been in communication recently with his eminence. Among the clergy the story is entirely discredited. oe Races. Sanatoca, N.

Mason, who keeps a saloon at No. 600 43¢ street southwest, was charged in the Police Court today with selling liquor to minors on July 10. The minors, to whom it was ebarged he sold, were a number of boys, aver- aging twelve years of age. Mr. Cabill appeared for the defense. ‘Lhe boys were Clarence Don- nelly, Charles Butts, Frank Lumbine, William Lewis, James Campbell, John Broderick and Frank Donnelly, white. and Will Lewis, colored. Judge Miller, after hearing the testimony, sai’ that the law was explicit that the saloon Keeper could not deal with minors, they were Rot of making a contract, ts who are cv ardly enough to send their cl ren for beet have nothing to say if the child went ts the reform school or gallows, and the custom of sending minors to saloons should be abolisited.

Soldier Boys Crawl Out of Tents and Dry Themselves. INCIDENTS IN CAMP TODAY. — Around the Different Battalion Head- quarters—Snakes and Other Visitors in Camp—Tales Told by Veracious Troop- ere—A Battle Scene. — OOD HUMOR has pre- vailed at Camp Washing- ton in spite of the rain, but this forenoon when the sun finally succeeded in dispelling the clouds and reigned supreme there was general rejoicing. The battle between the sun and its opponent, the rain clouds, had been watched by the militia boys with an overpowering interest, and when the eagle of victory finally perched on the banners of the sun a cheer went up that could almost have been heard in Washington. Fires after this were neglected, clothes were dried and some effort made to tidy up. By 12 o’clock the sun and wind bad succeeded ps to a large measure, The roads rapidly getting in shape and if the good weather lasts tomorrow, which will be a gala day for the camp, will find the grounds in per- fect condition. DRYING CLOTHES. The cracks of the rifles and carbines have been heard all day. The cavalry this morning had a skirmish drill with blank cartridges, and their volleys and ratiling fire could be heard. Other companies were at it at other ranges, and then besides tho artillery started to feed cart- a and grind out flying bullets from their gatling gun. The gatling gun is a glutton for bullets; one tarn of the crank sends ten bullets flying out on destruction intent, while witha man to feed it the engine can keep up the rain indefinitely. Taking the number of different men shooting at the same time, the camp, as far assound went, must have greatly resem- bled a field of battle to the outsider. THE DEMORALIZED TREES. This morning the young pine and fir trees which many of the boys had planted around their tents looked as though they had worked hard and, suddenly becoming tired, had de- cided to lie down and take a nap. Weighted with water and with the ground soft and yield- ing they have given way and fallen. The cavalry camp looked as if it had been struck by lightning. ‘The double row of trees in the cavalry camp are leaning in all directions. Many are down and if prompt measures are not taken cavalry camp will look like a forest after a cyclone. . Military exactitude and discipline is n great thing in this world, but itis thought thatthe corporal of one of the guards, who sent a man of the squad back to his tent to get his white gloves when the guard had been turned out for afire and the greatest excitement prevailed, ‘was almost too much of a martinet. AROUND CAMP FIRES, In spite of the rain camp presented an ani- mated appearance last night. Big fires were blazing in every camp. while snug little parties gathered inside the tents, which, luckily, really are waterproof, and this caused politics, ker and something that comes in bottles. At ee seventh battalion headquarters people seemed to be enjoying themselves. On what might be called the front porch Maj. Fleetwood and three other officers were engaged in a Scientific and dignified game of whist. Maj. Fleetwood is too well known in Washington to need any introduction. Incamp he is com- fortably situated, with everything around him necessary to make life pleasant, even when it does rain. The seventh battalion is in first-rate condi- tion physically, and in fact every other way also. ‘the sick are few in number and their complaints only of a slight nature. THE EIGHTH BATTALION HAPPY. ‘Maj. Revels of the eighth battalion was sitting comfortably in an easy chair on his front porch when aSrar reporter got around last night and asked how everything was going. It was learned that the eighth bettalion is happy in every way except that they havo a little grudge against somebody on account of the rain, Just who it is they have & grudge against is hard to state, but at any rate they are sure that yesterday's rain knocked them ont of the last chance for a big battalion drill, which they were going to have and in which Maj. Revels was going to try hishand at some new maneuvers, which will, however, be obliged to go over. Maj. Revels says he is satisfied with everything in camp. THE CANNOYEERS, At the artillery headquarters Lieut. Gus. Fos- berg held entire command of the situation. He was singing, at least he called it singing, and the rest of the crowd was too weak to deny it. The cavalry camp was quict during the night, no further attempt being made on the stables, KILLING & SNAKE. Killing snakes is one of the amusements at camp this year. There are any number of snakes down here and especially around the old fort. It isa very bad day for snakes that does not witness the killing of at least half a dozen of the reptiles. Corporal Percy of the cavalry the other day while parading with his com- pany cut a large anake’s head off with his saber without interrupting the line. BATTALION HEADQUARTERS. The furniture and trappings of the tents are more severely military this year than they were @ year ago, The day of the porticre and pillow shams appears to be past. Col. Moore of the first regiment has, with the exception of a large dark-tinted rug, one of the plainest tents im camp—a cot, two tables and achair, all of an imexpensive kind. Maj. Dalton of the first battalion has not even a chair in his canvas shelter. A cot and a ta- ble, the latter surmounted bya beer glass, which the major uses to drink water from. ‘The mejor does sport a rug, though, and so do sev- eral members of his staff. Lieut. Singleton has ® mosquito canopy; Surgeon Luce em- broidered edges to his pillow covers, Second battalion headquarters is not at all RorKeous. Maj. Fred oneal some, has a conple of small rugs—just eno eep linters out of his sucks. The interior rear of the tent is draped with a new national flag. Nearly all the other officers of the battalion have rugs on their tent floors, but they are not large enough to do any damage. Maj. Harrison, commanding the third bat- talion, rejoices in a bare-boarded floor and an enormous battalion chest. Cleanliness and comfort are there and the man who finds any- thing unsoldierly in the soldiers, the tents or the surroundings will do more than any one has been able to do yet, The fourth and fifth battalions, commanded by Maj. Campbell and Maj. Long, have strictly in headquarters, The sixth battalion has for its commander Maj. Bartlett, whose tent rejoices in one of the most lurid bed spreads the camp has ever seen and also a most gorge- to ‘A SKIRMISH DRILI.

Adjutant Hall of the second regiment when off duty parades around his regimental head- quarters in one of the funniest little jackets everseenin camp. When the adjutant was tauch younger than he is now he wasa cadet at West Point. Then, at appropriate times, he wore nice white clothes. He still wears one of the jackets, although his avoirdu; a hundred pounds greater it “the Point.” The jacket can- ight to within five inches of the but- toning point and is tight enough to hurt, but i is worn for the sake of Auld Lang Syne. “And T have seventeen suits of them,” says the cap- tain, mournfally, @.

Fleetwood of the seventh and Maj. Renels of the eighth. The party came up on the gov- ernment launch under the command of that able, old salt, Admiral Thad. Sailer. GUARD DUTY, Guard duty is one of the most important features of military instruction in camp. It may be of Mterest to explain a few things about the system adopted by Gen. Ordway and developed by Aid-de-Camp Hine, who was specially detailed by the Secretary of War to follow up tho instruction he gave at Cam; Ordway. There are, for the of guar duty, #ix separate camps in the brigade.” The id second regiments have each their own guard; the artillery and cavairy have each a stable’ guard, while the seventh and eighth battalions have one guard to themselves, The sixth and most important guard is the exterior guard, which is in effect the grand guard usually found in brignde encampments, This exterior guard consists of an entire com- pany and its guard mount is conducted every morning at brigade headquarters by Adjt. Gen. Long. When that ceremony has been con- cluded it is turned over for instruction to Cadet Hine. In all four of the infantry —— the company system of detail prevails. ‘he company is marched to guard-mountin; by its first sergeant, its captain being officer of the day and its lieutenants officers of the guard. By this system the “esprit de com- pagnie” is engendered and greater efficiency attained, THE ROUTINE OF THE DAY. How guard duty is done can best be told by reciting one day's duty of the clever instructor whom Secretary Proctor loaned the guard from Col. Wilson's battalion of budding offi- cers at West Point. At 8 o'clock there isa regimental guard mount, and this the cadet always attends. There should be another guard mount at the same time, but it is pur- posely delayed so that the West Point in- structor may be able to attend both. He is a busy man at all times, but especial energy is necessary for the first two hours of the day. If the company makes erroneous movements aad are corrected and the movements are repente: until they are exactnoss personified. For two hours the cadet talks instruction almost con- tinuously, and when he sees the second guard move off to be posted he has done as much work as most inspecting officers would care to doin one day. Until noon the time is spent in moving around among the officers and non- commissioned officers of the guard. Frequently the cadet delivers a lecture of half an hour's length to one guard, and ho always manages to interest his audience, He is not at all technical in his discourses and inasirangely lucid way suc- ceeds in impressing tactical truths upon minds that are not always tactically inclined. A visit to the wharf, where an extra guard is posted to handie the crowds from the excursion steamers and to nip in the bud any active yearnings for home which may enter the bosom of a camp-weary guardsman not provided with ® pass, is also in order. After dinuer another tour is made of the entire camp, and if there should happen to be any time not otherwise taken up the cadet is besieged by offi- cers who are earnestly in search of reliable information as to tactics or customs of the service, as these customs are taught at the military academy. Inspector Hine also has charge of the guard which drops the butt of its rifle on the toes of people who will tres- pass upon the space necessary for the dress parade, FROM SUPPER TO TAPS. From supper to tattoo is as busy a time as any. The four companies who are to go on duty on the following day are visited and an endeavor is made to have them study up their guard manuals, The ordinary mortal in camp goes to bed at “taps,” but the inspector is not one of that kind. He takes up a cross that would be too burdensome for most men. All day long ho has been tramping around talking to the officers of the guard. From “taps” until 2 or 3 o'clock a.m. he pumps information into the individual sentinels, Once inawhile the inspector borrows the sentinel’s gun and lets him see, with eyes that are very wide open, “how the thing is done at Weat Point.” Of course, such perfection ashe displays is not to be expected of the raw militiaman, but the object lesson is one of the most successful ways of imparting information. All this toil is, however, of material valuo to the cadet; he daily has more experience than would fallto the lot of a staff officer in the regular army, and it will aid him much in at- taining that depth of knowledge necessary to make complete the practical education of an ideal army officer. The principles on which guard duty is founded are made as plain as possible and the gentry frequently has to do the challenging and advancing acts five or four times in succession. At times itis somewhat diffi- cult to see the results of ull this work, at other times it is very apparent, but when tho District National Guard arrives at the apex of military perfection (and it is getting there) the unceas- ing interest of Cadet Hine will be found to have borne sound fruit, A COMMERCIAL TRANSACTION. “Driver” Bob Joyce of the light battery has been at it again, He was off on sick leave yes- terday, but a merciful Providence failed to de- prive him of his powers of speech, so that if, theoretically, he was not able to drill he could still be amusing. “You ought to have been up at our camp last night,” was his remark to » friend yosterday morning. “What was the attraction?” “We had roast chicken,” replied Robert, “Where did you get the fowls?” queried the suspicious confidant, “Oh, out here,” was the vague answer, indi- eating any adjacent part of Maryland. “Who paidfor them?” was the incisive ques- tion put to the artilleryman, “We did,” was his Lae ere reply. “That is, = spent our time; and time is money, you now.” The word chickens brings to mind the fact that the egg-producing population along the southern shore of Broad creek was decimated last night to the eggstent of three hens. The thieves—party or parties unknown. Several eggs were also missing when the Ethiopian keeper of Senator Evart’s log cabin called the roll yesterday morning. Lieut. Gus.

Still another chicken story, On Thursday evening some one “lifted” one of Sergeant Joyce's chickens without knowing whose it and shortly thereafter almost paralyzed the ol soldier by asking him if he would be so oblig- ing as to have it cooked for him. HARD ON THE HORSES, Trooper John Linney is one of the noblest sol- diers that ever wore a yellow-lined cape or allowed a saber to trip him up sixteen times a day, but he loves slumber as a mule loves corn.

In its report upon the resolution providing for an investigation of the administration of the Pension Bureau the committee on rules says that the delay in reporting the res- olution was oecasioned by the absence of ite author, Mr. Cooper of Indiana, whose statement was necessary before action could be had. Upon his return Mr. Cooper appeared before the committee and Presented a copy of a letter of Geo. E. Lemon to Commissioner Raum with an indorsement: “Deputy Commissioner Lincoln—Please ex- amine and report your views. G.B.R.‘" alsoa copy of a letter of Lincoln to Raum indorsed: “Approved. G.B.R.” GEORGE &. LEMON AS INDORSER. Mr. Cooper stated to the committee that after this letter Raum negotiated in banks in Washington = loan of $25,000, upon which Geo. E. Lemon became the surety. and that at that time Raum was insolvent and no prudent man would become his security for ® like sum of money without some Led pro quo, Mr. Cooper also stated that the commissioner made a substan- tial compliance with Jemon's request. Mr. Cooper claimed that the ralings made in com- pliance with this request were unjust and un- fair to practitioners other thin Lemon, and asserted that the bureau had been enuaged for @ long time almost exclusively in the consid- eration and advancement of Lemon's cases. ‘THE REFRIGERATOR COMPANY. Mr. Cooper also called the attention of the committee to the refrigerator company. He said that he understood on creditable informa- tion thata large number of employes of the Pension Office have stock in that corporation, and that Private Secretary Tenner has devoted much of his time, which shouldbe given to his Office, to it, * NO WITNESS EXCEPT MR. COOPER, The report continues: The committee had no testimony except that of Mr. Cooper and copies of documents produced by him, and they called no other witnesses because Mr. Cooper declined to give the names of persons who, he said, had personal knowledge of the transactions charged, although requested to do so. He assumed, as a Representative, the charges made against the commissioner, and assured the committee that he would furnish full and satisfactory proof to establish them before any committee which the House shall establish to conduct the investigation. +The committee deem it proper to state that nearly allof the essential statements of Mr. Cooper are hearsay and his conclusions con- jectural. They do not know whether they are true or false, but whether true or false, your committee believe that AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE HAD, to the end that the truth may be ascertained. The public service must not even rest under 8 suspicion and the character of public officials must be soclean and their administration so honorable and straightforward as to com- mand the public confidence and with- stand the most careful scrutiny. Every public official should invite the most careful investi- Ration of his public and official acts, and your committee believes that Gen. Raum, whose ublic and private character has been hereto- fore without taint or suspicion, will gladly pro- mote the inves 5 UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD. Secretary Noble Reports That it Has Not Violated the Laws as to its Indebtedness, On the third instant the Senate passed a resolution calling upon the Secretary of the Interior to state whether or not in his knowl- edge the Union Pacific Railroad Company has guaranteed the stock or bonds of any other corporation, whether or not said Union Pacific Railroad Company has paid out of its earnings the indebtedness ofany railroad company, and, if so, whether such antee and payment are in accordance with law and consistent with the obligations of the said Union Pacific Railroad Company to the United States. In his response, received by the Senate today, SECRETARY NOBLE SATs that the Union Pacific Railroad Company has guaranteed the bonds und interest of quite a number of other corporations, including those of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company and of the Denver aud South Park Hailroad Company. Some of these Tonds_ are operated as feeders of the Union Pacific, and the deficiency in their operating expenses has becn paid by it.” The guarantees, the Secretary says, have been made in pursuance of a fixed policy followed by the Union Pacific for years asa means for increasing the business and earn- ings of its main line, which policy has been approved after frequent investigations on the part of the government by its officers, THE COMPANY HAS COMPLIED WITH Tit REQUIREMENTS. In conclusion Secretary Noble says: ‘“Inas- much as, according to the report of the som- missioner of railroads, said company has com- plied with and continues to comply with all the requirements of Congress as to payments to be made to the United States I do not see hovy its action in the | epee be fairly regarded as endanger- gor injuring the interest of the United States as a creditor of the said company or be considered otherwise than legitimate and proper in the prosecution of its business, It has given no lien or mortgage on or made any pledge of its assets on which the United States hasa lien, but seems to have simply used its credit and its share of income, as ithasaright to do, in promotion of its proper purposes.” A LEGAL OPINION. In an opinion accompanying the letter of the Secretary, the assistant attorney general for the Department of the Interior says that, on the facts shown by the railroad commissioner there has been no violation of the United Btates statutes governing this corporation by the company in these matters or of its obliga- ee the a report and its uccompanying papers were referred to the judiciary mele Real Estate Matters.

Mr. Moss replied feolingly —_ informed the driver het he was able to sup- and une euppertion hisfamily. He be + said, to church people interfering and Minneapolis, Secretary Noble today ordered a recount of the population im both Minneapolis and St Paul. This important action was based upon the following letter received from Superintend- ent Porter: “For the past two weeks this office has been engaged in an examination of the returns of the recent census in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn. Before the count in the first named city was completed§ the attention of the Census Office was called to alleged frauds in which it was claimed that a systematic effort was being made to pad the census of Minneapolis. Mr. Boudinot, a trusted em) of this office, was at once sent to investigate rtain pretees ae in th od f cer e ma e ne’ rs of Minneapolis seriously reflecting epee oe enu- meration then in course of competion in St Paul. You are undoubtedly familiar with what bas followed. The contest between these two rival cities in relation to population hes assumed a magnitude and a bit- terness that will unquestionably leave ataint onthe count of both cities, even if the Census Office was not in possession of absolute f that serious fraud has been perpetrated y the enumerators in both Minneapolis and St. Paul toa greater or less degree, Two weeks ago, for the purpose of ascertaining what basis exists for the charges and counter the interest it meration, an investigation was instituted which has been conducted with great care and ability by Mr. Henry Gannett, geographer of the census, This investigation consisted mainly in an examination of the schedules returned by the supervisors and a comparison of their contents with the insurance atlases of these cities. The re- sults of Mr. Boudinot’s investigation, including the reports made by him from Minneapolis from time to time, were placed in Mr. Gan- nett's hands, also numerous affidavits affecting the work in St. Paul. THE CONCLUSIONS REACHED from the evidence already in the possession of tho Census Office, without taking into consider- ation the fact that criminal prosecutions are now pending in the case of Minneapolis, wos that nothmg short of a recount of the entire population of both of these cities, conducted directly by special agents of this office, will satisfy the people of the state of Minnesota, for it involves the whole state, The evidence before me may be summarized as follows: In all probability there existed in Minne- apolis a widespread organized conspiracy for inflating the census of that city, This con- spiracy was only partially carried through, owing to its early discovery. To what extent, however, the orkoaelas are fraudulent can at = present only a matter of conjecture. These fraudulent schedules take all manner of forms, Families have been swoller to enormous size by the ad- dition of children and boarders, the = eon of existing houses have been taxed far beyond their limits by the addition of families, and houses with their contents have been invented by hundreds. In addition to these palpable frauds transients and mealers have been enumerated at the hotels and board- ing houses, and employes have been enumer- ated at their shops as well as at their houses in large numbers, In St. Paul there has been discovered no evidence of au organized conspiracy, but numerous cases of illegal edditions to the schedules bave been found. These additions are similar in character to those discovered in the Minne- apolis schedule, but are not by any meas as widespread or as extensive. 4 RECOUNT NECESSARY. In view of this condition of things it seems impossible to be assured of a correct census of these two cities without making a recount throughout, and I therefore recommend that a recount be made. The objection urged by some that St Paul should not be recounted simply because frauds have been discovered in Minue- apolis is not sound. Itis true that the frauds are not so wide- spread im St, Paulas in Minneapolis, but this may in part be due tothe fact that this office has not made such extensive investigatious into the returns from St. Paul as have been made into those from Minneapolis. As » matter of fact, however, the postal card returns from St. Paul in a great many districts are of @ more suspicious character than those from Minneapolis. Iam satisfied that the decision to recount both cities, ifthe honorable Secre- tary of the Interior ‘should approve it, will give general satisfaction to the vast majority of the people of both Minneapolis and St. Paul, who would egret object to bear the stigma for the next decade which follows a padded census. If the frauds in St. Paul have not been as extensive and are confined to a few districts, this will be demonstrated in the re- count, and the city will certainly not suffer. In recommending this recount, as has already been said, it seems advisable, both in the interest of this office and for the pro- tection of the supervisors of these districts, for no proof whatever has been presented that Mr. Smith and Mr. Davenport were parties to these frauds, that this recount be made un- der a supervision of men detailed from this office. It is also recommended that it be com- menced at as early a date as possible aud completed us rapidiy as consistent with abso- lute accuracy.” ° THE WORK TO BEGIN 800X. The work of the recount will be becun as soon as practicable. Superintendent Porter has designated Mr. James H. Wardle, the as- sistant chief clerk of the office, to have charge of the recount in St Paul and_ Fred- erick W. Kruse of Olean, N. Y., am Miuneapolis. The latter will be assisted by Mr. Peter T. Wood, a special agent of the Census Office, Itisexpected that the work will be completed in one week. A BRUTAL HIGHWAYMAN, An Old Lady Knocked Down in the Street and Robbed. This morning about 11 o'clock a brutal as- sault and robbery was committed by a negro at the corner of 14th and R streets northwest. The daring deed was committed in sight of many pedestrians, but notwithstanding this the negro escaped. The victim was Mrs. Susan Duvall, mother of ex-Sergeant of Police Duvall. She is cighty- four years old. The eiderly lady had been to the Riggs Market and was returning home. When she reached 14th and R streets the negro knocked ber down and robbed her of a morocco pocket book containing $5. He then ran off and escaped. The negro is described as being about eigh- teen years old and was dressed in # dark suit of clothes. A description of him was telegraphed to the different police stations and the officers were instructed to arrest him. —_—_——— UNDER THE DOME, Failure of the Conferees on the Fortifi- cations Bill to Agree.
