This morning in the case of the United States against Cooper (Rock Creek Park case) Messrs. Shellabarger and Wilson and T. A. Lambert for L. P. Shoemaker et al, executors of Pierce Shoemaker, filed a demurrer to the petition of the park comuftission for the appraisement of the property that the petition is bad in sub- stance. The grounds to be argued are: First, that the petitioners have no legal existence, because two members—Cols. Casey and Robert—assume to act by virtue of a pretended appointment’ by Congress without the intervention, co-opera- tion or action of the President or any court or of any executive officer. 2. Because Congress by such act has devolved on the President the performance of the essen- tially judicial function of participating in the appraivement and of adjudicating upon the awards. 8. Because the dent is entitled to have the judgment of an impartial and disinterested judicial tribunal. whereas the act devolves on the President the right to participate in deter- mining the compensation, to approve or dis- approve the award. and, as chief executive, the President is virtuaily a party to the suit. 4. Because Congress hus assumed to control the action of tho commissioners designated and to restrict the rights of respondent by limiting the amount which shall be allowed in the aggregate. 5. Because Congress has undertaken to ac- quire the property without the consent of the owners upon compensation limited to #1,200,- 000, regardiess of the adequacy of said sum to tultill the constitutional requirement of just compensation. 6. Because the act tds to avoid and set aside a compact with a sovereign state for the making of which the government has received consideration from the state and ite cil and to which the faith of the government solemnly pledged. ARMY RECRUITS. A Better Class of Material Now Being Secured. Ever since public and official attention was directed to the subject of the frequency of de- sertions from the arm; year or so ago, there has been a determined effort on the part of the authorities to improve the quality of the ma- terial with which the service was recruited, in the belief that in this lay the remedy for the grave evil for which a cause was #0 diligently sought. Extra endeavors were made to secure young men who sought the army as a profession rather than as a haven of refuge, and to this end the efforts of recruiting officers have been systematically turned away from citios toward the country. The new sys- tem has just begun to show ite fruits and is more than justifying the expectations of those who inaugurated it. An officer of the adjutant general's department who hes charge of this work remarked to Stax reporter the other day: {We are having very good luck with our later recruits and I think that the army is to- day composed of a better class of people than ever before. We have abandoned the city field almost entirely for the country, where we are more apt to find vigorous voung men, free from the contamination of the rough life of towns, eager to do well and to wear chevrons. Such 'men muke good soldiers, far bet- ter than the old, hardened toughs who come out of the slums to enlist asa last resort or as a moans of drown- ing their identities. For one thing we have is 'y neat lithographi ter showing Of the service in his bost uniforms, and presenting an attractive pictyre of army life. “It takes with country men quicker than with the hardened denizen ‘of the town, to ‘hom smart clothesis less of an attraction than @ glass of beer. ur efforts in the line of suburban enlist- ments have been so satisfactory uo far that we have begun to try the experiment of allowin the commanders of one or two regiments whic are stationed in tho midst of agricultural dis- tricts to send out recruiting parties in their own neighborhoods to fill up depleted ranks. In former years this was almost impossible, for the bulk of the army was posted on the plains, out of the reach of numerous farms, and so far beyond any available local material. Now, however, with the rapid spread of the popula- tion westward the regimental headquarters are becoming the centers of settlement and, in m: opinion, the day is not fur off when each r mental commander will have both the power and the means to fill his ranks without baving to send to the great recruiting depots in the east for men. Then, and ouly then, wil! the average soldier be what he should be, and the commander, having picked his own men, will take u greater pride in their efficiency and oon- tinued service.” ———————— LIEUT. HINES DETAIL. The Virginia Militiamen to Have the Bene- fit of His Instruction, The acting secretary of war has ordered Second Lieut. Chas. DeL. Hine, sixth United ‘States infantry, to proceed to Wrightsville, N. C., the scene of the annual encampment of the North Carolina National Guard, for the pur- pove of giving instruction to the first regiment of Virginia volunteers. ‘This regiment will en- camp With the North Carolina troops this year, as the state of Virginia bas not made « suffi- cient appropriation for an individual encamp- ment of the state guard in Virginia. Lieut. Hine has but recently graduated from the Military Academy and been assigned to the sixth infantry, stationed at Fort Thomas, Ky. He will be remembered here as the cadet who vol- unteered bis services to. Gen. Ordway during the first camp of the District Guard at Fort Washington, while he was then on furlough from the academy. Last year he was ordered here again by the Secretary of War at Gen. Ordway's request, and during the two services he gave the militiamen a vast amount of in- struction in the various duties of a soldier in camp. He will be fully occupied sep Pad ‘tour of duty at Wrighteville, for he has laid out a plan that will enable him to give rifle instruction during the day and| points in guard mounting at night. He is well qualified for such a d The order was issued at the request of the com- mander of the regiment. This is the first in- stance on record of a graduate of the Military Academy, on his luation leave, being or- dered to any duty in time of peace. Lieut. Hine isa Virginian, having been ap- pointed to the academy from the district just across the river, including the town of Vienna, ia home, by Congressman, now Senator, John 8. Barbour. The camp at Wrightsville begins July 17 and ends July 25. THE SITUATION IN SALVADOR. Capitalists Said to Have Been Frightened Away by the Ezeta Government.

It seems, however, that the criticisms thus far have been of a general character, for ‘Superintendent Porter states that although the bulletin has been issued several weeks no offi- cer of any city has pointed out any error in it, either in the amounts or the classification. He says that if any errors should hereafter be Pointed out the ofice will gladly correct it be- fore incorporating the figures in the final census volumes. The statistics relating to Washing- ton were not given in the bulletin, owing 10 the character of the government of the city, which is so unlike any other municipal govern- ment in this country that classification would have been impossible. Mr. J. K. Upton, the special agent in charge of the work, states that he would be glad to make @ separate bulletin of Washington, and this will be done if he oan the time. = GUNS OF BIG CALIBER, Bids for Their Constraction Opened at the ‘War Department. Bids were opened at the War Department yesterday afternoon for building one hundred Fifled cannon for the army of high power. The event marked anera in the progress of this country toward the front renk of military Powers, and indicated a remarkably healthy condition of the iron and steel interests of America. There were three classes of bids, twenty-five of the guns to be of eight inches caliber, fifty of ten inches and twenty-five of twelve inches, and for these guns the sum of $4,225,000 is available. Three firms made pro- posals as follows: Midvale Stool Company—One eight-inch type gan, with ammunition for testing, 222,028, to delivered iu three years; twenty-five service guns of the same pattern at the same price each, to be delivered in eight years after the acceptance of the type gun; one ten-inch type gun, $51,890, and forty-nine service guns at same price each, to be delivered in eight years; one twelve-inch type gun, with ammunition, $88,592, and twenty-four service guns at the same price each, to be delivered in vight years.

Porty-nine service ey of this size at $40,029 caob, delivered in 2,180 days, or #37754 delivered in $3,404’ days. | Twelve-inch type gun, $118,951, delivered in 791 days, or 858 delivered in 1,095 days, ‘Twenty-four service guns of this size at $61,- 446 cooh, delivered. is 2,088 days, or $54,473 delivered in 8,194 days. ‘The Bethlehem bid wasaccompanied by some conditions, one looking to a change in the pro- portions of the hoops of the guns and another Yo allowances for advanced deliveries. Their bid was very complex and it will require sev- eral days’ time and much close calculation to ascertain which are the best terms that ean be made by the government. The act of Con- gress gives authority to divide the awards, but at their longest periods of time the Bethlehem bids are still the lowest in each class, and their lowest total of $3,785,850 for the 100 gunsis the only one within the limit of the appropriation. The total of the Midvale bid is $5,359,500 and of the South Boston bid 5,174,312. The South Bethlehem Company is now en- gaged in furnishing steel to the navy to be turned into guns atso rapid a rate that the foundry at the navy yard is enabled to work at full speed, with no delays for material. Circular om Postage Stamps. Assistant Secretary Spaulding has issued « circular to customs officers in regard to im- ported postage stamps, instructing them as follows: “Canceled and uncanceled postage stamps being dutiable articles are prohibited from importation through the mails and when so imported will be seized by customs officers, In casee where the duties do not amoupt to 10 cents the stamps may be released free of duty. Where the duties amount to more than 10 cents bard may be released on payment of a fine equal to the duty. In the absence of more accutate information as to their foreign market value they should be appraised at 10 cents per 1,000, a sum understood to be at least equal to theit cost of production. If, however, it shall ap- pear that the actual price paid for such stam was more than 10 cexts per 1,000, duties will be assessed accordingly and in no case will duty be assessed upon an amount leas than the in- voice or entered value.” Ecuador and the World's Fuir, The official organ of the government of the republic of Ecuador, El Telegram of Quito, has the following account of the reception of the World's fair commissioner to that country in ite issue of June 10 just received: ‘Mr. Willard P. Tisdel, special commissioner from ‘the United States, accompanied by the American consul general, Mr. Sorsby, was re- ceived at a private audience on Monday last by the president of the republic and the members of his cabinet. Mr. Tisdel e: that the object of his mission was to invite the govern- ment of Ecuador to participate in the world's Columbian exposition at Chicago in 1848, and commission which should take ing thereto, in order well represented in this lent Flores replied that he greatly ap- Breciated the courteny of, the government st ‘ashingtou, and that, notwithstanding the well-known pecuniary difficulties, he would be Yery glad to do everything in his power so that Ecuador should take part in so notable an ex- ition, and be represented by a person ac- ceptable to the United States government. He hoped that by patriotisin and activity the ex- hibit of the country and its productions would show that every endeavor would be made to respond worthily to the invitation. The presi- deut offered his services to the commissioner, Mr. Tisdel, in any way that he might further ‘the success of his mission.” Correct to a Cent. treasurer from Mr. Huston to Mr. Nebeker has completed its work.

The trial will be held in the county court bere in Hampton, the county seat of Ehzabeth City county. It is the first trial on the docket for the new term of the county court before Judge G. M. Peek. A special panel of twenty white talesmen bas been summoned and the first part of the day will probably be consumed in the work of get- Ying a jury. This, of course, is on the sup Position tlias the case will be gone into at ‘he probability now is that the defense will ask for more time and @ continuance until the fall term of the court. It is of course impossible to say whether this will be granted or not. Commander Robley D.

THE COUNSEL IN THE CASE. The prosecution will be in the hands of Mr. Edgar E. Montague of Hampton, the common- wealth’s attorney. He will probably be as- sisted by Mr. Andrew A. Lipscomb of Wash- ington, who bas been retained by the friends of oung’ Hannegan. A telegram was received: rom Mr. Lipscomb saying that he would be here tomorrow morning.
