Mosely was ordered | ing it. | two essential particulars from the following MAJ. O’REILLY'S ASSIGNMENT. Why the Order Was Suspended—Present Status of the Case. The order detailing Maj. O'Reilly, surgeon U. S. A., to this city,has been suspended and not revoked. The situation as stated by a friend of Maj. O'Reilly today is ns follow “Lieut. Col. Heger obtained a four months’ to take charge of the office in his absence. In October Secretary Elkins ordered Maj. O'Reilly to report for duty as attending sur- geon in December, as Col. Heger was put on | | the retired list December 4. ‘The surgeon general was not willing to carry out the Secre- tary’s orders and asked for a month's delay, which was granted. At the end of that time he still said be cuuld not find any one to take Maj. O'Reilly's place at Fort Logan, Colorado, and the Sectetary then, January 10, issued the order suspending the original, ‘one, not revok- j. Mosely is still the surgeon in charge of the office, and in the event of the order relating to Maj. O'Reilly being carried out, would remain in the same place, the two surgeons dividing the work between them.” ‘The above statement of facts differs in one or official statement of the case obtained from the War Department by a Star reporter today: “The character of duty required of the attending surgeon at Washington has so far changed that for the past year only one medical officer, Dr. Heger, was required for the pur- pose, except during emergencies; until June 30, 1892, Dr. Yarrow, « civilian, was continued on nominal duty because of his long service, but was then discharged. In anticipation of Dr. Heger's retirement, December 4, 1892, Dr. Mosely was ordered to Washington as his rospective successor. In October, two months Cotere te. Siagers cotirement, the Secretary of War ordered Dr. O'Reilly to the place. In De- cember, 1392, a month’s suspension of this order was granted upon representation by the sur- geon general that Dr. O'Reilly was not entitled to eastern duty, that his coming would neces- sarily displace ‘Dr. Mosely, and not only re- flect prejuc fessional ability, but also subject him to heavy Pecuniary expense, and that at the time he could not find an officer of suitable rank to take O'Keillv’s place at Fort Logan. January 10, 1893, the Secrétary suspended indefinitely th original order. As the matter now stands Dr. Mosely isthe ‘only attending surgeon in this city, but if the original order should be carried out he cannot remain on that duty.” ——— or THE PLANS APPROVED. The Brooklyn Bridge Question Settled by the Secretary of re ‘The Secretary of War has settled the contro- versy in regard to the construction of two bridges across the East river from New York city to Brooklyn by approving the plans with one change—that the bridge from Broadway avenue to a point between Delancey and Riving- ton streets shall be 140 feet in the center above mean high water. ‘The decision of Secretary Elkins says: “Under the authority vested in me by the act of Sep- tember 19, 1890, making appropriations for certain public works on rivers and harbors, the plans of the East River Bridge Company for two bridges over the East river have been care- fully examined, together with the testimony of interested parties and the views of engineers of the army to whom the matter was referred for suggestions. The plans of the bridges pre- sented are ‘in accordance with the laws of the state of New York, contained in chapter 101- 102 of the laws of 1892, which laws the Attorney General of the United States advises me are good and sufficient for the purposes of bridging this river entirely within the state of New York. The only differences of opinion appear to be with reference to the height of the bridges at their center elevations above mean’ high water. In the case of the existing bridge over the East river this height is 135 feet and no vessel with taller spars can pass through the East river. This height was es- tablished by United States authority, After careful consideration it is my judgment, and it is so ordered, that the project of the bridges from Broadway avenue toa point be- tween Delancey and Rivington streets should be altered by raising the lower chord of the roadway to 140 feet above mean high water under the most unfavorable conditions as to load and temperature, and the drawings will be returned to the East River Bridge Company to modify them in accordance with this decision. —o— MUTILATED NOTES. They Are Coming in for Redemption in Greater Amounts Than Ever Before. Mutilated notes are now coming to the U. 8. treasury for redemption in greater amounts than ever before, being undoubtedly the after effects of an active business during the holiday | season. ‘The cierks in the treasurer's office are kept busy after office hours every day until dark handling this money. but cannot keep up with the demands made upon them. Yesterday between $2,000,000 and #3,000,000 in dilapi- dated and uncurrent funds were received from various subtreasuries and national banks. At the close of business there were about $5,000,- 000 in dilapidated notes of small denomina- tion awaiting redemption with crisp new notes. The clerks expect to catch up with the rush in about two weeks The assistant treas- urer at New York reports that he never knew of such an influx of uncurrent notes and asks that clerical assistance be sent him from Washington. Se THE LUDLOW INQUIRY. The Court Has Finished Its Work and Will Now Make Up Its Report. The court of inquiry in the case of Col. Wm. Ludiow of the engineer corps of the army con- cluded its sessions yesterday afternoon, and the members have gone to their regular stations in New York for the purpose of preparing their report to the Secretary of War. Col. Ludlow wasthe engineer officer in charge of the eleventh light house district, with head- quarters at Detroit, Mich. He advocated cer- tain plans for the lighting of St. Mary's river. contending that if these plans were not carried out vessels and property would be placed in jeopardy. The board refused to adopt the suggestions of Col. Ludlow. The colonel in- sisted, and asked leave to come to Washington to make personal explanation of the feasibility of his ideas on the subject. The board again refused, and the controversy that followed re- sulted in the relief of Col, Ludlow from duty on the ground that he had disobeyed the plain in- structions of hw superior officers and was insolent in his correspondence with the board. ‘The light house board bas had nothing to do with the prevent inquiry beyond giving such in formation as the court asked of it, As mem- ber expressed it, the board is neither prosecut- ing the cave against Col. Ludlow nor is it on trial itself. The court was appointed at the in- stigation of Col. Ludlow in the full hope that it would exonerate him from all unofticerlike conduct in the transaction, and the board has made no effort whatever to prevent ach a re- sult. Col. Ludlow’s friends are confident of his vindication by the court, a conciusion alto- gether probable in view of the character of the evidence submitted. An army officer says of the case that it was marked by little or no Prosecution and a strong and vigorous defense, and consequently can have but one result. - THE CASE OF FREDERICK MEVS.

A STATEMENT OF THE AFFAIRS OF THE CLUB— ‘THE NOBLE RESPONSE MADE BY THE CHILDREN OF THE CITY—THE WORK OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS—HOW THE FUND WAS DISTRIBUTED. The accounts of Tur Evexrxe Star Sante Claus Club were finally settled up today and show that the club was a great big financial | success. That it accomplished an immense amount of good before and during the Christ- | wants of a large number of poor people, but also in brightening the holiday season for lots Mf little children all over the city, isa thing that every one knows who has had a share in the good work. ‘The members of the club, and there were up- ward of 19,000 of them, hada lesion in practi- cal charity that can only be @ source of great benefit to them, and they also had « happier Christmas themselves in the knowledge thal they had made others happy. Tue Evexrxa ‘Star Santa Claus Club expended at Christmas | time $1,900 in assisting the poor of the Dis- | trict. This was the sum that it was estimated | the membership dues wonld amount to, and ‘Tux Stam company advanced that sum of money. HOW THE AFFAIRS WERE MANAGED. ‘The committeo managing the affairs of the lub was composed of Messrs. John T. Mitchell, | ch of the third school division, and L. 8. Emery, general secretary of the Associated Charities, and thrée representatives of Tux Evenino Stam. The expenditure of the fund and the trusted to four local committees. Mr. Mitchell had charge of the work in Georgetown; Mr. L. 8. Emery, in the central part of Washington and the county; Mr. Isaac Fairbrother, super- vising principal of the fourth school division, in South Washington, and Mr. Stuart. in the eastern section. These gentlemen worked mostenergetically and | accomplished the tasks they had undertaken mort successfully. Though a large amount of money was raised by the clubs, still it-was found that spent in answoring applications from deserving people. As it was, however, much good was accomplished, ali of which went tothe credit and glory of Tur Evento Stan Santa Claus Club and toeach little wearer of a badge of the club. There were more than 2,000 cases for relief reported by the members of the club in the public schools, When the first steps were taken to organize the club Tux Evextxe Star made a aubserip- tion of $250. When it became evident that the mated Taz Stan company announced that it would increase its subscription so as to cover all the expenses that might be incurred, the main expense being the cost of the pretty badges given as tokens of membership. So Tue Stan's first contribution wax more than doubled. Every penny paid as dues by mem- bers of the club or contributed to the treasury by friends of the club was expended directly in bringing comfort and happiness to the poor, and especially to poor children at Christmas time. The real success of the movement is due to the children of the District, who drew 80 hberally on their little savings banks and stores of Christmas money for the benefit of less for- tunate little ones. The receipts of the club have amounted to more than was estimated, and the result is that there was still in the treasury of the club today, in care of THE Sram, a surplns of $318.63, Measures were taken today to have this money so distributed at once as best to relieve the pressing needs of the poor in this coid winter weather. Altogether the sum of $1,911.50 was received in dues for membership and represented abont | 19,000 members. Friends of the club contrib- uted £307, muking in all a fund of over $2,200 available for the work of the club. Besides this the schoo! children and other friends of the club donated a large amount of supplies, which were distributed by the committees of the club and the Associated Charities, A full statement of the receipts and expendi- tures is printed below. The sums credited to various school officers are the amounts paid by members of the club for dues in the several divisions of the public schools.

The Attorney General Doesn’t Think Its Estimates Should Go Through the Board of Charities. Attorney General Miller has forwarded to the Senate District committee, as requested, his opinion on the provision in the bill to es- tablish a board of charities, which requires them in their estimates to include the reform school for boys. The communication reads: “I have to say that the reform school for boys of the District of Columbia is not a charity, but isa penal institution, and I'see no reason for requiring estimates for this institution to be made by the board of charities which would not be equally good with reference to the esti- mates for the jail. : “My observation is that this institution is in good hands and is well by a board serving without pay and from motives purely disinterestea. My view, therefore, is not favorable to this proposed change.” ea erat cl The New American Steamers.

It was evident that some of the mails that were expected were late in arriving, and for this reason the members of the committee bad rather less than usua! to do this morning. Now that the subcommitteos have all been completed and have gone fairly to work all matters of business are turned over to them and are heard for the first time when they are reported at the bi-weekly meetings of the executive committee. One of the most important matters in con- nection with the inauguration and one that is receiving a great deal of attention just now is the parade. The line of march has been prac- tically decided uponand does not vary materially from the routes on previous occasions. The line will be formed in the streets branching out from the Capitol, and from there it will go | around, not through, the plaza at the east front | of the Capitol, along the aveuve, up 15th street, then along the avenue as far as Washington | Cirole, around the circle and through K street to Mount Vernon Square,where it will disband. The President-elect, who will be at the Arling- | ton, will be met there and escorted to the Cap- | itol by the first division of the military parade and by the members.of the general inaugural | Committee and others in carriages. THE STREET DECORATION. Chairman W. A. Hutchins and the members of the committee on decoration along the line of march have their hands full just now and are making preparations for an elaborate display | ®t the inauguration. In this connection they seeking the co-operation of business houses d others having buildings along the route of | the parade. They are willing to lend all the assistance in their power to those who are con- templating the decoration of their buildings in | the matter of flags, bunting and other such material, and it is expected that the display | jalong the streets will be much more general | oven than it has been in years past. The chair man of the committee on street decorations will later in the week appoint committees to wait on all the business houses and private residents along the line for the purpose of in- viting them to decorate and of rendering to them such assistance as they may desire in the power of the committee. There is « meeting of the inaugural executive committee at headquarters this afternoon at 8 O'clock. The banquet committee and the com- mittee on parks und privileges and ball tickets also hold meetings this afternoon DECORATING THE STREETS. At a meeting of the committee on street dec- orations last evening (William Hutchins, chair- man) it was decided to authorize the chairman | to appoint various subcommittees, the chair- men of such to form an executive body to take charge of the work to be done.

A Decrease In the Death Rate Notwithstand- ing the Cold Weather. ‘The popular idea that extremely severe winter weather was deleterious to health would seem to be an erroneous one, judged by recent experience,” saya Health Officer Hammett, in his weekly report of the operations of the health office for last week. “The very cold weather which prevailed dur- ing last week does not appear to have affected the health of the people of the city in the least unfavorably. On the contrary there wasa decrease of fifty in the number of deaths—that ia, from 142 to 92——as compared with the pre- vious week, and the annual death rate fell from 28.4 to 18.4 ngeach 1,000 of inhabitants. This difference “of 10.0 represents a matter of twenty-six hundredths of a decline in the number of deaths ina year. There was & felling off of ighteen in the acute lung troubles of nine in the fatal cases of diphtheria, while typhoid fever did not causea single death. Of all the dangerous contagious diseases there was but one death from whooping cough, aud this was one of a complicated character. The mortality among the children was below the average. The only class of who seem to have been affected unfavorably by the frosty condition of the atmosphere was those suffering from consump- tion, of whom seventeen died as against twelve in the preceding week. The following tabular statement will give in detail the history of death's doings for the week ended on Saturday. ‘as well as that of the social movementsasshown by births and marriages and mortuary reports from hospitals.” ‘The report shows: Number of deaths, 92— white, 51; colored, 41. Death rate per 1,000 per. annum—white, 15.1; colored, 25.1; total population, 18.4. Twenty-seven were under 5 Years of age, 20 were under 1 year old and 25 over 60 years. Eighteen of the deaths occurred in hospitals and public institutions. The deaths by classes were as follows: Zymotie, - 15; con- stitutional, 23; local, 43; developmental, 9; vio- lence, 2. ‘The principal causes of death were.

SOME LITTLE DISCUSSION. This resolation gave rise to discussion, espe- cially in the light of the report of the commit- tee on resolutions recommending that no action be taken on this resolution, One of the delegates expressed opposition to asking Congress for any aid. It was expected that the people would raise the money for im- proving the roads, Mr. Jackson of Richmoné, Va., however, was of the opinion that there could be no objection to the government assisting sections of the country that were unable to raise the moriey. | It the goverament could get all the money it wanted at 2 per cent, he saw no reason why it could not loan money at 234 per cent to enable counties to undertake the work of improv- ing the roads, Col. Hinton also spoke in favor of govern- ment aid and:then the convention adopted the resolution of the committee. SECRETARY RUSK'S ADDRESS. Secretary Rusk, who came jn, was invited to speak.
