Capt. L. L. Tanner, commanding the Alba- tross, has forwarded to the hydrographic office of the Navy Department the detailed report of the work in running a line of soundings from the California coast to the Hawaiian Islands as the preliminary survey for the proposed cable from San Francisco to Honolulu. ‘The landing of the California end of the cable will be in Sa- linus bay, near Monterey, where a gully with steep banks and a depth of 200 fathoms leads off into deep water. The landing at the islands will probably be more difficult. ae position haé been actively begun in Costa Rica. ‘The president issued a decree directing the organization of a central bureau with its head- quarters at the city of San Jose, having branches in all parts of the republic, which was charged with the duty of collecting and.ar- ranging the best possible exhibit of the re- sources and products of the count allarticles of interest which it may should be sent to the world’s Columbian expo- sition in 1893. Dr. David J. Guzman was appointed as commissioner in charge of this bureau, with a secretary and clerks for pro- ceeding at once with the work.

Gibson ‘Will Be Elected to Succeod Himself. A preliminary caucus of tho democratic members of the Maryland legislature was held at the Carrollton House in Baltimore last night, with nearly every representativo in at- tendance. .The regular party caucus for the selection of the officers of the two houses will be held at Annapolis tonight and the legisla- ture will meet st noon tomorrow. There are 22. democratic senators and 4 republicans. In the house there ure 81 democrats, 7 republi- cans and $ fusion members, Last night's caucus was pfoductive of more talk regarding the election of two United ‘States Senators than of the organization of the I ture. To Senator Gorman’s ‘re-election there will be but little if any opposition, and Chas. H. Gil will, it is thought, succeed himself. Gov. will be Gibson's most formidable oe, Col. Ea: Lioyd of Talbot county was de- cided upon for president of the senate. He is serving his tourth term us senator and was ident of the senate in 1878. Capt. Wm. G. ‘urnell of Cecil county will be re-elected sec- rotary of the senate. While a decision was LIEU. LANGHORNE. BOURKE AND LANGHORNE. Two Washington Men Who Have Gained Distinction on the Border. Up to the present time but three United States army officers have attained marked dis- tinction in connection wilh the endeavor to subdue Mr. Garza, These are Capta. John G. Bourke and Freneis G. Hardie and Second Liout. George T. Langhorne, all of the third cavalry. Two of these are practically Wash- ingtonians. Capt. John G. Bourke is cepe- cially well known bere. He first came to the national capital as a private in the fifteenth Pennsylvania cavalry. Hoe was a boy then, but his fighting nature bad made him enlist in the Union army. For three years—until July, 1865—he did his best to upset the re- bellion. Then ne went to the Milit Academy upon an appointment originally promised him by President Lincoln. — Four years of peaceful study followed, but after graduation there camo years of activity. Wherever there was tronble among Indians there could Bourke be found. He wss Gen. Crook’s right hand for along time, rendering loyal and efficient service to his commandor id the country. While campaigning he gath- ered an enormous quantity of historical, topo- graphical and generally interesting informa- tion and some of this he has put in book form. “The Snake Dance of the Moquis,” “On the Border with Crook” and several scientific treatises of an ethnological nature have made for the captain a literary roputation of the highest 1 jan appreciated Capt. Bourke's ability ns an anthor and it was un- der Sheridan's instructions that he was detatled to duty in this city. While bere be was sergeant- at-arnis of the famous Pan-American confer- ence, accompanying it on its bh through the ecuntry. Last Ap rejoined Lis regiment and was at once sent to Fort Ringgold, where he has since been sta- tioned, Capt Bourke is marricd—bis estima- ble wifo was a Miss Horbach of Omaba—and re- Joices in the fact that he is father of three of the prettiest little girls in the western bemis- here. Piqhe other officer in whom Washington is now considerably and personally interested is Lieut. George Teyloe Langhorne. His parents reside here now and have a great many fri best social circles. Lieut, Langhor: nephew of the late Ogie Tayloc, is a Virginian. He was born in Kentucky, but that was an in- cidental something. Lynchburg was his home until he went to the Virginia Military Institate. Senator Daniel (then a member of the House of Representatives) nominated him for West Point in 1885. He received rapid promotion in the cadet battalion, becoming first captain of that model organization. While be was such he had a fistic eucovuter with a cadet from Baltimore which is historic in West Poin? annals, the stragglo insting more than two hours,’ ‘The difticulty aruve over the assign- ment by Langtorne of a colored cadet to the mess table for which the Palti- morean was responsible. Langhorne was the victor, and, singularly enough, neither he nor his opponent received that disagreeable attention from the authorities which every cadet expected they would have. Lieut. Lang- horne is another example of the soldier who isa success as a soldier in spite of the fact that his name Was by no means at the head of the grad- uating roll. —— MORE EXCUSES MADE. The Police Court Jury is Not Yet Com- pleted. This morning Judge Miller resumed the task of perfecting the jury for the present term, and numerous excuses were offered by those questioned as to their competency. ‘The usual number of persons offered the ex- cuse that their business was pressing just at thie season of the year and if they were de- tained on the jury it would either break up their business or result in serious financial loss to them. Several sick persons were excused, and then J. M. Hall, a colored man, was called. He answered the questions all right until he was asked if he was a priest ors preacher, and he offered the latter as an excuse. “What denomination?” the judge asked, ‘I'm a shoemaker,” was Hall's response to the last question, “and I worked for Judge Kimball for eighteen years.” Hall said that he was licensed to +h. but that he had not been ordained and could not perform church duties as ordained ministers, He was accepted. Mr. M. C. Stone employs 900 hands and if accepted on the jury it would so antertere with his work that it would icesen the work of those employed by him. Mr. Petrola, the druggist, told the judge that he was a salaried otficer of the government, therefore be was exempt. He is a stamp agent and gets €24 4 year. He had to be excused. Auother attempt will be made tomorrow to complete the panel. A Hackman Fined for “Crabbing.” Capt. Allabach of the Capitol police foree ap- peared in Judge Kimball's court this morning? and charged Artie Adams, a colored carriage driver, with violating the hack law iu the Capitol grounds. It was alleged that-he stopped and loitered about the grounds and failed to remain on the stand. He was charged with doing what the hackmen call “crabbing.” Tho prosecuting witness said that while he had seen Artie violate the law several times he would like the court to accept his personal bonds, as he had promised to keep away from see Tab changein the politic of the House,” said Capt. Allabach, “has caused « number of changes on the force and the drivers are taking advantage of the new men.” q ‘The court imposed a fine of $5 and suspended’ execution of sentence. ——_ A Choir Leader's Services Recognized.

It is Cisimed That the Clericals of Mexico Keep Him t ‘unde Lonevo, Tex., Jan. 5.—Startling develop- ments in regard to the Garza revolution are learned. The papers found in the suddlebags of Pablo Monez, one of the captured revolution= ists, throw gr-at desl of light on the situation. It proves conclusively that the clerical party is furnishing the money with which the campaign is being conducted. It has long been a source of wouder where Garza secured the money which be has been spending freely. It is now ascertained thut Montes DeUca, bishop of Mon- terey. is the financial agent of the clerical party in furnishing the sinews of war. The griev- ances of the clericals date back several years, .d arise from the interferences of the govern- ment with some of their functions. The Itur- bide family is also believed to be in the plot, and itis known that Prince Iturbide is now an growed candidate for the -y against rinz. ‘The real tocsin of war will soon be sounded. The clerical party is strong and rich, and Diaz's persecutions of the prionts make them bitter. The Mexican administration desires to sup= press every mentiou of the revolution and pre- tends to believe there is no trouble brewing, but their actions and proparations are at va- riance. The government realizes the inevite- bic and is actively ut work. Asa result of the troubie even Mexican silver has falicn im price considerably. ——_——.o2_—__—_- ‘The Salvationisis in Trouble, The troubles between the Saivation Army tory.
