Page Confer With Secretary Foster. Proctor returned to Washington last night,’ bringing with him as his guest Gov. Page of Vermont. They had a talk at half-past 10 o'clock with Secretary Foster about several matters concerning Vermont. Among these was the appointment of the inspectors of sugar for the state under the new maple sugar bounty clause of the tariff act. Thon they spoke of Vermont's direct tax, which amounts to €179,- 000, but against which there is an offset of nearly half million dollars on account of some arms issued to the state yenrs ago, but never accounted for. The governor handed Secretary Foster the recent act of the state legislature ac- cepting the terms of the direct tax act of Con- gress. ‘The case will now come up for decision on the part of the second controller, who has before him an opinion by the Attorney General to the effect that the offset should not operate. Secretary Proctor said toa Star reporter that he has not yet written to the governor formally accepting or declining the appointment as Sena- tor iu place of Mr. Edmunds, but that he sup- used that he would have to write to him be- fore be left town. ‘The governor will leave to- morrow and the Secretary will remain week. THE GRAPHIC SYSTEM Maj. Powsll Explains It to the International Geological Congress. The meetings of the international congress of geologists were resumed at Columbian Uni- versity this morning. The discussion to- day was on the graphic system used in geological work. Maj. Powell, with the aid of a number of colored charts, gave a concise description of the colors and meth- ods of using them, in vogue in the geological survey, for purposes of representing different formations. Maj. Powell gave a full descrip- tion of the methods, and remarked that there were difficulties in finding sufficient colors and combinations for this purpose. He ex- plained that the survey was a national institu- tion and paid for out of the taxes of the people, and it was therefore necessary that the results should be intelligible to the general public and not confined to scientists. In this regard it was a necessity that the color system should be of as simple a character as possible. The discussion was continued, several modifications of Mayor Powell's plan being proposed. Adjournment at the lunch hour. however, put an end to the discussion. This afternoon there was no session of the congress, although many small conferences Were going on, the topics being points of es- pecial interest to the various groups. Many of the members this afternoon made an excursion to Luray cave, which offers especial induce- ments to geologiste as an excursion point. This evening from 9 to 11 a reception has been tendered to delegates by the directors and members of the Geological Society at 1330 F street. Tomorrow the congress will hold its finul session and in the afternoon will make an excursion down the Potomac, taking dinner at ‘Marshall Hall. An especially noticeable thing about the ses- sions of the congress is the presence each day ofslarge number of ladies, many of them seemingly highly interested in the questions un- der discussion. a BALMACEDA'S FLIGHT. Official Corroboration of the Fact That He Has Turned Over the Government, Official corroboration of Balmaceda’s fall reached the State and Navy Departments this morning. Acting Secretary Wharton received the following cablogram, dated Valparaiso, Au- gust 30, 9:30 p.m.: “Balmaceda has turned over government to Baquedano and fled. Canto gocs to Santiago tonight to assume control until arrival of junta from Iquique. Good order here. (Bigned) “MoCreery, Consul.” Acting Secretary Soley also received the fol- lowing cablegram from Admiral Brown, dated Valparaiso, August 30: “President of Chili has surrendered the gov- ernment to the Chilian General Baquedan id he has left Santiago. Valparaiso well org: ized. The foreign forces have re-embark« Signed) “Brown. ‘The above is somewhat obscure, but it is in- terpreted at the department to mean that the police force at Valparaiso is so well organized as to relieve the foreign admirals of further ered for keeping their marines on shore uty. DEATH OF JUDGE SCOFIELD. He Passes Away at Warren, Pa.—Brief Sketch of His Honorable Career. Judge Glenni William Scofield of the United States Court of Claims died at Warren, Pa., at3 o'clock yesterday morning. Judge Scofieldhad been in poor health for some time and recently sent his resignation to the President. He has had a very honorable career in Congress and on the bench. He was man of distinguished ap- pearance and affable manners and enjoyed « wide personal popularity. Born at Chautau- qua, N. ¥., March 11, 1817, he removed to Penn- sylvania in 1840, after graduating from Ham: ton College. He studied lawand served several years in the etate legislature. In 1861 he was appointed superior judge of the eighteenth judicial district of Pennsylvania and two year: afterward was elected as a Representative in Congress. He served in the House until March 3, 1875. From 1878 until 1881 he was register of the treasury and was then appointed judge of the Court of Claims. Sa GONE TO GETTY! 'SBURG. The Citizens’ Invitation Committee the Guests of Mr. Louis D. Wine. The members of the citizens’ invitation com- mittee who went to Detroit were the guests today of Mr. Louis D. Wine, who had invited his colleagues to dine with him at Gettysburg. The party left the city this morning shortly after 8 o'clock and intend to spend the dey in visiting the points of interest about that historic place. Mr. John A. Swope, an ex-member of the House from Gettysburg, has invited Mr. Wine and his friends to attend the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his marriage at his residence this evening. Among those who were in the party were Commissioner Robert, Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Warner, Charles T. Wood, L Saks and George W. Driver. ——- ASSESSMENT IN THE COUNTY. ‘The First Auditor Calls Attention to the Subject. ‘The Commissioners today received the fol- lowing letter from the first auditor, which will explain itself: “In the examination of the account of Capt. Rossell for the purchase of land for the Rock Creek Park, D.C., a voucher has been received were assessed at $150 per acre, or on a valua- tion of $11,145, ‘The government bought $1,817 acros, for which it had to pay the estimated price of the owner, $2,000, per acre, or $63,694. ROCK CREEK PARK. The Appraisers Kesume the Taking of Tes- timony This Morning. MR. GEORGE TRUPSDELL OCCUPIES THE TIME AND I8 EXAMINED AT LENGTH AS TO THE VALUES OF THE SEVERAL PARCELS OF GROUND PROPOSED TO BE TAKEN. ‘The Rock Creek Park commission to appraise the property—Messrs. James L. Norris, George J. Seufferle and N. W. Burchell—resumed the work in the Cireuit Court room this morning. Mr. Perry stated that the solicitor general and public printer had an appointment with him for tomorrow morning in reference to the printing of the record, and he thought it could be arrenged. MR. GEORGE TRUESDELL. Mr. George Truesdell testified that he was president of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company and a dealer in real estate, and was acquainted with the most of the land taken for the park. Page's land (84) he valued at $2,500 per acre; tract 83, Rosemont Park, was worth £3,500 per acre—some lots were worth 2 cents per foot and others as high as 4 cents per foot; tract 82 (Ingleside) €1,000 and 1,500 per acre; the triangular piece 81 (Shoe- maker's) $2,000 per acre. A QUESTION THAT EXCITES ARGUMENT. Mr. Perry asked if witness had had any con- sultation with him on the subject of values. Witness answered that the only connection he had with Mr. Perry on the subject was to go with him over the lands. Mr. Wilson remarked that it was an extra- ordinary question. Mr. Perry replied that it had been several times insinuated that he bad gone outside of his duties as counsel. He claimed that he had acted professionally and had not yet tra gressed the rules of propriety. On the other side @ witness—Mr. Kirk—had made a sug. gestion to show his personal strength with him. Mr. Lambert asked Mr. Perry for what pur- ose be had banded the list of offers made by fhe commission to the owners. Mr. Perry anewered that the question wasa perfectly proper one and the paper was given witness, first, that they might have the number of the tract, size, &c.;second, that they might know the value placed on the land by the com- mission, and, third, that they might have the advantage of a compurison of values. Mr. Wilson said le was unconscious of offending and thought his brother, Perry, mis- understood him, for he was not aware of offending. He had simply said it was unusual. MR. TRUESDELL CONTINUES. Col. Truesdell continued: The Baell tract, 80, is worth 1,800; Shoemaker, 78, €2,000, Blagden, 74, €2,200; 75, $300; 77 (the purple beech tract) was by bigh water subject to over- flow and worth 3600; 76, a long narrow tract (both steep and level land), is worth £500 per Sere. Tract 73 was worth about the same; 72, Mrs. Blagden’s, 8400 per acre: 71, $500; 70, Willis’ tract, £1,000; No. 67, Warder's land, £500; 69, Shoemaker's, €600; 68, #400; 64, $300. Col. Truesdell described « hungry-looking dog and asked what became of them. ‘Mr. Lambert—Ran from the dog. Judge Wilson—Climbed a tree.

It abute Boundary street and was quite rough, having cost $150,000 to grade it. That part of the park north of Military road and west of the creck was fit for limited agricultural purposes and villas. It requires from 40 to 50 per cent for streets, &c., in following the plan of thecity. At Eckington ‘there was an extensive systema of sewerage, pavements, gas, water, &c. ‘Tho electricity for light and railroad is’ generated by steam. He did not think the quarry on the Shoemaker tract was very valuable. He had given the present values. Hehad also taken in consideration a number of sales of which he had had general knowledge from the court records and papers and talk of operators. ‘CROSS-EXAMINED. On cross-examination Col. Truesdell said that he was owner of perhaps three-fifths of the land in Eckington. There were eighty-seven acres in the tract and the price paid was £50,000, The eales had not paid the cost and for the im- provements by £100,000. If he sold all that he held at the samo rates their would be a large profit, from $700,000 to $1,000,000, but if the whole was improved the profits would probably not exceed $500,000. ‘The prices had been from 18 to 60 cents per foot and the unsold pieces are held at 45 to. 60 cent per foot, and was on the paved and im. roved streets. A portion is low ground and e had intended keeping it for some future use, and was worth from 10 to 75 cents per foot. This portion is on the Metropolitan rail- road from Boundary to § or T stree! ‘The value is given by the proximity to the city, accessibility by the Electric railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. AFTER RECESS. After recess Col. Truesdell under cross-ex- amination said that the bulk of suburban opera- tions in the Inst few years was west of 7th street, the la part between that road oe ol Tenleytown road. The ratio increase from 1885 to tho present did not believe any manliving could tell, but cht be givef as to sections. East of 16th there had been in some places little and in others great advances, but 19th and 16th streets, perhaps, 200 to 300 per cent: along ‘7th, slight; along some portions of Tenley- town road above Cleveland Heights there had been considerablo advance along Conn. avenue it st extended; he knew of no sales excepting to the California syndicate. In estimating the ex- enditure at Eckington the rail was not Inded. WASHINGTON HEIGHTS. The Washington Heights property was on Columbia road and he owned seven acres of it, tour being his residence. It was purchased by Presbrey and .others ee He had three acres subdivided then and valued the land at 75 cents to $1.25 foot. He purchased fiveor tix years ago at $1,000 per acre.

MORE BODIES FOUND. the Search Was Not More New York, August 31.—The first body dis- covered today in the ruins of the Park place building is supposed to be that of Abraham Derkaveritch of 141 Delancy street. He was employed in the bronze leaf factory of Rosen- feld & Co. The body was not much burned, although at first it looked to be. The second body is thought to be that of aman named blitz, who was also in the employ of Rosenfeld & Co. ‘The news that two more bodies had been found in the ruins created surprise and indig- nation inall quarters. Although there were a number of people still missing who were re- orted by their relatives and friends to ac business in the fated building, it was Positively stated by Chief Reilly that there were no more bodies in the ruins. When this statement was made at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon it was taken as official, but there were -those who shook their heads in doubt as to its accuracy. ‘The police are once more in charge of the Tuins, as the news that two more bodies had been found soon spread and great crowds be- gan to flock to the scene. The search will now be continued, and it is hoped that the authorities will push it until it is certain that no more bodies are buried in the mass of debris which still marks the spot of the grout disaster. Two more bodies are supposed to be under- neath the sidewalk in the vaults, but could not be seen. The relief committee met in the mayor's office at 12:30 o'clock.

The reception Sat- urday on board the Chicago was honored by his presence, and for that fact, if for no other, it was the event of the season. immense ship was converted into a bower of bunting. Flags of all nations were displayed in elegant profusion and flowers and ever- greens were In abundance. Admiral Walker re- ceived the guests, assisted by the captains of that and other ships. The band discoursed ex- cellent music, and there was dancing. Mr. Blaine and his party were the center of attraction. He talked and shook hands with nearly every one.

Bosrox, August 31.—Jas. Corbett, the pugi- list, who arrived here last night, said to a reporter: “Mitchell's acceptance of my challenge looks genuine and is a welcome feature of this fighting debate. I am ready to fight as soon as he is ready and at any place he may select. There is nothing in my theatrical engagements to prevent an early meeting. They were made with the express rovision that ‘a fight with Slavin or Mitchell, Mitchell preferred, would not be. interfered with. Ishall give him no chance to back out of the acceptance when he arrives. As for preferences in the matter, I would select the Granite Club, Hoboken, or the Olympic Club of New Orleans if the choice were left tome. The fight ought to and probably will come off at the club offering the biggest purse. Corbett was very emphatic in his denial of the current reports of his differences with Sullivan. Corbett says after Mitchell has got away with Slavin or himself it is time enough for him to talk of fighting Sullivan. “If Mitchell and I meet,” he said, “4t will be no sprint race. Imyself am enough of & sprinter to catch a man in a prize ring.” Ean GERMAN LIQUOR SELLERS Find Flaws in the Emperor's Little Tem- perance Bill Loxpox, August 31.—A Berlin dispatch says that the liquor dealers of the capital are com- bining in opposition to the proposed law re- stricting the sale of liquor, and especially the clause requiring them to sell food when they sell liquor. This would compel all of them to gointo the restaurant business, which is al- ready overdone im Berlin, as the Germans pre- fer to eat at home. The clauses as to age and selling to drunkards are also considered ob- noxious, on the ground that the dealer cannot readily tell the age of » customer or whether he isadrunkard. The whole measure is consid- posing ideas of personal liberty. Theadvocates of the bill claim that drunkenness is that increasing instances of ji toxication have been observed and that restrictive action is necessary to abate and re- strain the evil.
