THE DETACHED SERVICE SYSTEM. = Kemedy to It The adjutant general of the army has brought to the attention of the Secretary of War the Pressing necessity for applying a remedy to the so-called “detached service system.” This state of affairs is the result of the detachment of a large number of officers from their regular du- ties in order to permit their assignment to other duties not altogether connected with ghe military establishment. It is said that there are more officers now on detached service with colleges, &c., than ever before. The recent order of the President assigning twenty officers to special duty as Indian agents has made a se- rious drain on the roster of regiments. This, in addition to the many officers on duty at th world’s fair and at various private military in itutions, has depleted the army to such an ex. tent that there is not at present asingle regi- ment with its full quote of officers. The matter will receive the seriour consideration of Secre- tary Lamont on his return to the is little doubt that the detached service list will be materially reduced at an early day. Several officers have suggested as s possible remedy that the number of cadets at the Military Academy be increased so that if there are no places for them in the army they might be as- igned to duty at the various colleges as in- structors in military tactics and the arts of war generall v New Pres! it.

SEVERAL PROPOSITIONS PRESENTED In Regard to the Disposition of the Silver Question. PROBABLE TARIFF ACTION. ‘While it is quite apparent that Congressmen do not relish the idea of meeting on the 7th of August and remaining in continuous session until next summer, there are few of the thoughtful ones who do not see this condition before them. At the outetart such was the popular cry for the repeal of the Sherman law that at a glance there was reason to believe that this action could be accomplished without much difficulty or delay. The distress in financial circles for the time being smothered the breath of the silver men, but with reflection the ad- vocates of the white metal believe that they hold the upper hand, ard, seeing in the uncon- ditional repeal of the silver law the demoneti- zation of the metal and the reduction of it to s level in this country with all other minerals, except gold, have awakened to the realization of their position and boldly announce their stand. Silver, they declare, must be maintained asa money metal, and, with a majority during the last ses- sion in favor of free coinage, it would seem that if their declarations never to relinquish the Sherman law until something more satisfactory is given them are carried out a tedious fight is before them. AN. UNLIEELY svaazSTION. A suggestion has been made that the siver- ites will try to force an adjournment of the extra session without allowing Congress to act on the silver low. It is doubtful whether such ® course could be carried Into execution. | Ite effect would | cer- tainly ngerous 1 prosperi Pers but on the silver question the have never been will be considered before the success of « party that cannot or will not give to them what they are most anxious that Congress should do and for which end they have been sending men to Congress for years. A TARIFF BILL TO BE BROUGHT UF. It is understz0d to be the purpose of the ad- at the earliest possible date, so that its effects may become apparent before the public is called upon to pass judgment it, and with this in mind it is almost certain that the consideration of the tariff will be precipiteted during the extra session. The statement comes from the west that Mr. Springer has been devoting his time to the preparation of a tariff bill whieh the committee on end... shall 7g eon ee take usa basia If this the most advanced. itis certain that the administratfon will be thoroughly in touch with the ways and means committee pending the consideration of the tariff rates nothing of « tangi- tle character looking toward the compilation of what might de termed the administration Dill has been done. Both the President and Mr. Carlisle have received suggestions from ever section of the corntry and from every interest mel Dred sad So gly pon the proposed present rat AU of these communications have boon ‘carefully filed away, and when the proper time arrives each will ‘receive due consideration. As yet {can bo positively stated that the Secretary of the ary not turned his attention to the formation of a bill which will convey the ideas of the administration on the tariff, but it is not unlikely that such » measure will be indirectly presented to the ways and means committee. MO DEFINITE PLAN AGREED UPOX. Nothing definite can be stated as to the plan that the leaders will try to execute for the resent. Since the proclamation of the Presi- Jens, accompanied os it was by the ‘departure of almost all of the members of the cabinet from the city, there was nothing to keep the members of Congress in Washington, and they, too, have, almost without excep- tion, left for their homes. As the President has called Congress together it is argued that he must have some fixed purpose which he desires them to execute. For this reason the message of Mr. Cleveland to Congress will be awaited with the greatest interest. In it may be looked for some general outline or plan for the guidance of the party in power, and especially upon the unconditional repenl of the Sherman law, which /it is believed the administration will demand, some strong expressions are expected. What the extra session will accomplish or at least what the leaders of the democracy will try to have the session do, are likely to be included in Mr. Cleveland's message. Those best informed be- lieve that he will have something to say at that time on the tariff and thus the work of the next Congress will be suficiently set forth so that no delay need occur before the wheels of the Fifty- third Congress are set in motion. WHAT IN PLACE OF THE SHERMAN BILL, In the interviews which have been published within the past week with members of Congress there is expressed by many the desire to repeal the Sherman law, but with this declaration is coupled the ‘statement that something else has to be done. On the subject of what this shall be thore is a remark- able divergence of opinions. Among the plans Suggested aro the placing of our finances on « tingle gold basis; the iatuance of bonds; un- limited free coinage at the present ratio of 1 to 16, or at the proposed ratio of 1 to 18 or 20; and the repeal of the 10 per cent state bank tax with the power given to the banks which would undoubtedly be established to issue notes. ith so many views it will take time to formulate a plan which will be acceptable to all and it is only a measure that is satisfac- tory that can be adopted. The unconditional repeal of the Sherman law would mean that | silver is no longer to be used as a money metal for the Sherman law repealed all former silver acts, A solution which some silver advocates have talked of is the read- justment of the ratio of parity between gold and silver so that it should be 1 to 18. This would mean that one ounce of gold was equal to eighteen of silver, and in order that the silver dollar should be of the proper weight its size would have to be increased. The object of the silver men in such « course would be to have just so many more ounces of silver used in coinage. The proposition which has been talked of to adopt s resolu- tion at the extra session giving the President the power to suspend until such » time as he ‘may see fit the purchase of silver bullion is one that docs not meet with approval, and the silver men say that they Would fight such a proposition with as ‘much | vigor as they will the repeal of the Sher- | man law, for they believe that the effect of such @ resolution in the hands of Mr. Cleve- land, whose views on silver are known. would De the same as though the law was repealed. THE APPROPRIATION ESTIMATES. It has been stated that the appropriation bills will be taken up by the extra session before even the financial question. At the | Treasury Department today it was learned | that the ments to it their estimates for the next fiscal year was made before the call for the extra session. The request was that the | estimates should be sent in by the 15th of tember, and it would take three weeks for Treasury irtment shape that they could* ‘sppropriations committee, ministration to have the tariff question settled | ‘* upon | §, Tequest for the various depart- | sul THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. The Causes for the Extra Session and the Probable Results, What Col. D. C. Forney Says — The Simple Repeul of the Sherman Act Will , Not Remedy the Trouble. Arreporter of Tux Star called on Col. D. ©. Forney yesterday at the Portland, where he found him quietly resting in his rooms on the fifth floor of that spacious building, overlook- ing the Virginia hills for miles up and down the river and presenting one of the nidst attraotive views around the city. As 1s known, the colonel still retains his interest in public affairs, and from his long experience in journal- ism he has had plenty of opportunities for studying them. As Tue Stan man found him ready for a talk he had little trouble in getting him to respond to the usual inquiries, the first of which was what he thought of the necessities that called an extra session of Con- gress and some of the causes which have led to it Ho said: “Your question covers a broad field ‘and embraces a variety of causes. “First of all, we have been dealing with too many false systems, the outgrowth of all sorte of wild speculations, and these in tarn, by ree- son of their seductive influences, have sorely threatened the security of some of our strongest moneyed institutions, Millions of money, which Properly belonged to legitimate business, was absorbed for these wild purposes upon securi- ties which never had any real basis, so that when forced on the market nothing could be realized on them. Add these to our over- trading abroad, thus turning the balance of trade against us, which could only be settled with gold, and we can easily see the conditions that were sure to foliow and the opportunities thereby given to another clase, the money changers, to draw their harvest from. Of course there were other causes, real and imagi- nary, and none more so than the Sherman bill, which, pratically speaking, however, was but drop in the bucket, but it served its purpose of distarbing public confidence, the most vital part of all money systems, just the thing stock gamblers and some lines of bankers dosired, and they would have gone still farther had the party | government yielded to their persuasions and ‘sat threats to issue bonds to raise gold and thus frpecdslherdianon for speculation. The whole si m looks like the work of a widespread conspiracy, when the real truth is there is no! substantially wrong. We have plenty of money, an abundance of all classes of wealth, thus presenting one of the most re- markable paradoxes the world ever witnessed; by being poor for tools to work with—money. Where is it? Why, it has been scared into retirement, withdrawm from business, and the least some of them that recently held powerless to be of any assistance, and at time when they should be the most, thus emphasizing jn a measure the oft-repeated charge that thore is something wrong in our nancial system, else taese disturbances would not occur #0 often.” “Col. Forney, do you think the coming ses sion of Congress will be uble to relieve the country of its present depression and furnish a remedy #0 as io against these recur- Tences?” “I simply hope so, as otherr do, and may go further, that out of these experiences some good will arise, some solution Of the trouble will be evolved, for, remember, that back of all this is the good sense of the American people, who not only beliave in themselves, but who have faith in the inexhaustible resources of the country—its labor, capacity and genius. What is needed now is ‘public confidence, and this once restored all the other agencies will soon get to work and do the balance. 1 admit, how- ever, that ove whole financial system nocds cateful revision—that something must be pro- vided to stand between the business man and these financial wreckers, #0 as to protect him, and which, [am sorry to say, our present bank- ing system seems to fall short of. Just what that abould be I don't know, but I do believe there ean be found a remedy’ for all evil, and, if not exactly by legislation, then it can be in ourselves, and there are few so ignorant who don't understand this rule.” “Do you believe that the Sherman act will be repealed, and what will be the extent of the benefit if it is repealed?” “First, I don't believe it will be repealed without some condition, and I don't believe it would be wise to pags such a bill should there be strength enough in both houses of Congress to de so. The effect of such an un- conditional repea! would leave the whole sil estion open for perbaps worse this the country could illy afford. No, some more sensible plan must be adopted to settle the levbtol question than by destroying its use al ther.” we you any plan of your own, Col Forney ‘No! I haven't, but there have been plenty Proposed that even the gold standard advocates might concede and that might also have a good international effect, such, for instance, as ex- Senator Edmunds ‘referred to—to place all the oducts of the states and territories of the hro metals on free coinage basis and then ix and agree upon a parity that can be easily maintained. Men who reason and predict that the Sherman act can be repealed uncondi- tionally are either narrowed by their preju- dices or have little conception of the sit uation. We talk of the past irrepressible con- flict between negro slavery and freedom, and yet the one now going on between the so-called money powers of the world and those who are struggling for relief from some of its exactions have little idea of the vast difference between them. _ While negro slavery scarcely produced a half dozen millionaires in a century the resent money system in this country alone Eas produced vearly a hundred seililossices in a single generation, so from this we can form some conception of the magnitude of inter- ests at stake, With all this I firmly believe these enormous interests will be harmonized and that before the session closes the spirit of triotism and mutual concession will prevail. Ve can't afford anything else.” “Col. Forney, how long do you think the ses- sion will last and do you believe it will run right along into the regular one?” “] don’t think there is any doubt of its con- tinuing right along, and as late as elev months hence. Besides the money question the tariff will be overhauled, and to my mind there is infinitely more danger in this than in all the fight between gold and silver.” “Do you believe the President will recom- .d any radical changes in the tariff?” “I do not, considering the present financial uneasiness, and he can well afford to take such a position without in the least doing any vio- lence to his past views on this question. I be- lieve furthor, that if he would so assure the country it wonld have the most quieting effect upon it. These are no times for experiments, and especially with our revenue laws, foreign or internal. Settle our finances first and then all things else will easily adjust themselves, ‘The world is waiting to pour its millions of un- employed capital into this country for invest- ments, so the future 1 all ri¥ht if we are only wise enough to deal judiciously with the pres- ent, and I firmly believe that what Congress fails to do public confidence will make ample amends for.”” “Do you think the action of the English gov- ernment in India will affect the situation very much?” “To my mind only to the extent of intensify- ing the silver men here all the more, as many of them firmly believe that this action was part of the conspiracy to destroy silver. You know England never hesitates to adopt extreme measures when she thinks they are necessary, and this is why she gets what she wants, but { believe she blundered in this instance, as a gold standard of values in India is more than she would venture on, No! her trick won't work. First, because sho can’t afford it, and, second, because India will never submit to it Wait and see! and rest assured that the days of seri- ous panies auch as we used to, have are over as tl re are too many vast interests to afford to place them in such | it—too many millionaires to permit any such be considered by the | —— ro! ‘con m this experience The country will recover waer and stronger.” ON THE STRIKE. The Eckjngton Road Filling the Vacant Positions. THE STRIKING MEN STILL REMAIN QUIET The Police Officers on Duty Have a Light Task. THE BELT ROAD SITUATION. ‘There was no change this morning in the railroad strike. The Eckington road was running much as it did yesterday. There seemed to be fewer of the strikers hanging about, The police were on duty at the junction and at the power house, but there was no disorder. Cars were run at intervals on the main road and not quite s0/| sho regularly on the G street line. The general manager of the road, Mr. Schoepf, said this morning that owing to the relaying of the track on the main line, which begins on Monday, the running schedule would bea ten-minute one and that this new order went into effect today. He said that he had all the cars in use on the main line today that it was necessary to use in order to carry out this schedule. It was his intention to have a five-minute schedmie on the G street line, and as soon as he hed time to give the matter atten- tion he would put on the requisite number of cars, Ho claimed that the road was not erippled for lack of men, and said that they more applications ‘for places than they had Places to give. On the other band, the men Say that the road is hard put to to give the service that it is now giving. All the men in theemploy of the company and who hold positions on the cars went out with the exception of seven. They look upon this ag ving evidence of the feeling on the part of employes and the general revolt against the exactions of the general manager. They claim that without these seven men the road eoyld not have been operated yesterday at all. THE STRIKERS PAID OFF. Today the men were being paid off at the power house and their official connection with the road ceases. A good many are taking a deep interest in the running of the road, and especiall; ly in the men who are employed. The ex-employes are stationed all along the line and board the cars for the of with ‘the men at work. The efforts by these earnest are ins; by = deep earnestness and a strong to make converts and to convince men of the errors of their ways. This sort of preaching is obliged to be extremely practical, and it takes « powerful lot of it to convince one man that he ought to throw up his fob, Sometimes it is said that threats, as weil as strong lan- gtage, are used when the missionaries find that ‘their words are of no avail. It was stated today that the company were going to get out warrants for the arrest of some men whose zeal became rather ardent. There seems to be no settled program on the part of the men, and it is thought that the strike will end without much being accom- plished beyond recording the protest of the tuen against what they consider the injustice of the proposed agreement ‘Manager Schoepf wid today that he had no intention of requiring a similer ment from the employes of the. Balt which ie also un charge. “Ho said in explans- tion that it was’not necessary on « horse rail road, as the liability of loss on the part'of the company through the carelessness or neglect of the men was not as great as it was on an elec- tric road, He had heard rumors that the Belt employes were going out on a strike, but he did not believe it. ‘They had no cause for such @ course that he was aware of. No Strike on the Belt Line. 80 far there has been no actual strike among the drivers and conductors of the 11th street line, although there has been more or less talk among the men about doing something of the sort, It was said this morning that the men on this line had planned to quit work at 11 o'elock, but when # Stam reporter rode out to the stables a hali an hour later there was no sign of anything out of the ordinary. The Mckington men whe are out came over to see the 1ith street men yesterday, and used all their powers of persuasion to induce them to strike for sympathy, but these men didn’t soem to see it Late in the night there was a mooting of about twenty-five drivers and conductors in Mount ‘Vernon Square to discuss the situation and de- cide whether they would go out. There is no union or organization among street car men in this city, and the result is that there was nobody with power to step to the head and order @strike. On the other hand, many of the em- ployes of the road are bitterly opposed to strike methods. They have tried do not like it Many of them are men of families, and they say that while 1.60 does not permit them to live in fine style it is just $1.60 more than nothing at all, and they cannot af- ford to be idle and let their families go hungry. WHAT THE MEX AY. Several of the men today told the reporter that they did not think there would be a strike, for the very simple reason that they did not see what they had to strike for. Their pay, they said, is the smallest paid by any of the roads in the city, but that the question of wages had not entered into the dis- cussion at all. They had had no definite in- struction that the obnoxious agreement that caused the trouble with the Eckington road would be enforced with them. ‘They were unanimous, however, in the statement that if it was thev would refuse to sign the paper under any ciroumstances. One man said that he would resign before he would sign any such paper. He had a wife and children to support, buthe did not think the road should try to Dally him into signing any euch ment, if they insisted he would not strike, but he would leave of his own accord. He would run his car until the company could fill his place, for he wanted to treat them fairly even if they didn’t treat him that way. But when his suo- cessor came he would get out. A man who was present at the meeting last night said that there would be no effort made to go out at least until tomorrow. The cars were running as usual this afternoon,and while there is a deal of talk it hardly seems as though anything definite will be done on this r WHAT THE STRIKERS PREDICT. ‘There was ao particular change in the situa- tion in the Eckington street car strike this afternoon. At a late hour a few cars were running at long intervals, but the strikers said that they had every assurance that all the men who were in charge of these cars would go off this evening and there would not be a car runaing tomorrow. It is customary for the company to keep back the equivalent of five days’ pay, but today the men were paid in full, so that’ they have no claims against the company and are free from any fear of loss. Some of the more conservative among the strikers fear that there may be some trouble this evening if the men who are at work keep at it. They say that a good men are spending their money for courage,” and that they are likely to intimidate the workers with more than threats they refuse to quit. They say, however, that the men at work have grown to be a ‘little nervous, and as they do not relish their posi- tion they are reasonably certain to join the strikers. ‘was no disturbance of any sort this afternoon nor anything like it, a2 ee Retirement of an Artillery Captain. An order was issued at the War Department today placing Capt. Edward C. Knower, third artillery, on the retired list. He was examined by the retiring board and found incapacitated for active service on account of disability inci- EMERGENCY HOSPITAL. Mr. B. H. Warner Resigns as President of the Trustees, Causes That Ld to His Taking This Step and What He Says in Re- gard to It, For some little time past there has been trou- ble among the powers that control the workings of the Central Dispensary and Emergency Hos- pital. The facts in the matter have been slow in leaking out, and to a certain extent an effort has been made to keep them back from the public for fear of an unfortunate effect that their publication might have upon the wel- fare of she hospital. It is fact, however, that the feeling has gone so far as to lead to the res- ignation of the president of the hospital, who has now severed all actual connection with the institution. ‘The news of the resignation of the of the board of trusteos, Mr. B, H. Warner, come rather in the nature of a surprise to people generally, for Mr. Warner hae all slong wn deo) inetivwtion ooh hues dons all in his power to make it a practical success and put it well on ite feet financially cince it has occupied its new home. ‘The trouble all had its start at the time of the Ford's Theater disaster and the public relief, that was held on the afternoon in answer to an emergency by the Commissioners. At meeting held at Willard Hall letter was read from the physicians of the hospital in which they recited the number of casualties cared for st the Emergency Hos- pital that day and for aid to further continue the work more fally and completely than they were able to do with the resources at their command. Mr, B. H. Warner, the president of the board of trustecs, was it at the meeting, and he st once arose and remarked. that there was evidently some misunderstanding on the part of the physicians of the hospital as to the character and purposes of | the mesting. The hospital, be thought, was ina condition to prosecute the work without asking any aid from the people who were there to raise nds for the 10 thes of the in- ation at their bands and requested of the news- aber men present that no mention be made of its receipt. ‘THOUGHT THRY WERE APFRONTED. ‘The authorities of the hospital took umbrage at this and the result was that a few days after- ward Mr. Warner received a letter signed by Mr. H.

The Government Determined on Order at Any Cost. OTHER NEWS FROM ABROAD. Panss, July 5—The body of Nuger, the young man who was killed during the fighting between the police and the students in the Latin Quarter, was sent to the home of his par- ents in Lyons today. The authorities feared that the rioters would take advantage of the shipment of the body to cause further trouble and considerable seorecy was observed in trans- ferring the body from the morgue to the Lyons railway station. At an early hour this morning the coffin con- | lat taining the remains was placed in « hearse and taken to the station, the route followed being through unfrequented streets. The early risers who saw the hearse paid very little attention to it beyond lifting their bats in secordance with the custom of salating the dead that prevails here. The students and their abettors in the rioting did not know of the transfer, and, therefore, no riotous demonstration occurred. As the day wore on the rioters, hundreds of whom have no connection with the students, gathered in the vicinity of the markets and re- started the disturbances, Several conflicts ‘ccourred between the rioters on one side and the police and soldiers on. the other. The ‘crowd was composed of the riffraff of the city, & majority being out of work and men who never work. The $ghting was quite severe and numbers on both sides wore injared. ‘ORDER AT AXE cost. of the perfect vandalism man‘iested by the mob.
