Scheutze of the navy in regard to the recent operations of the New York naval reserves 1s far from flat- tering in its terms. He condemns the prac- tice of sending the,reserves up Long Island sound for exercise, and says that if the offi- cers and men are to be fitted for service on naval ships practical experience should be given them on board of seagoing naval ves- sels, as the Rochester, Boston and Phila- delphia reserves were given. His criticism was directed against the system altogether and not against the men, who are willing and very intelligent. All things considered, it is much to be regretted, says Lieut. Scheutze, that the men were not permitted to spend a week at sea in a man-of-war, where the work and experience would have been of great benefit to them. Mr. McAdoo takes the same view of of the uselessness of sending the militia on a still-water cruise, and next year a taste of deep sea cruising and the practical work of sallors will doubtless be given the reserve. The department offered to take the reserve to sea this summer, but Commander Miller ob- jected. Naval officers say that the reserve is composed of an exclusive set of young men of the city, who don’t care to undergo the disagreeable duties of blue jackets on one of our war vessels. e+ _____ Final Trial of the U. 8. S. Detroit. ‘The board appointed by the Navy Depart- ment to witness the final trial of the U. S.| S. Detroit has reported that the vessel | was at sea forty-eight hours, during which | time her battery fired ‘and her crew i was drilled. Certain defects, which are not | deemed material, are enumerated by the board, which concludes its report as fol- low: ith the exceptions noted the board submits the opinion: “First. That the guns, gun carriages, thelr fittings and appurtenances work properly, | and that the ship is well built and sumi-| ciently strong to stand the shock caused by firing. “Second. That the hull, engines, boilers and appurtenances have not, upon this trial, exhibited any weakness, breaking | down or deterioration. “In conclusion, the board cannot forbear expressing their gratification as to the good order and discipline on board, the quiet and effective methods observable on every hand and the evident interest taken by the com- manding officer and his officers and men in the work of bringing the ship up to the highest standard of efficiency as a ship of war. —_-e+__—__ Banks Reopened.

Officials of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail- way direct attention to the fact that in dispatches from Memphis, Tenn., as to a allroad strike because of the reduction of | wages, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad has been confounded with the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern system, now called the Newport News and Mississipp! Valley railroad. There has been no reduction of wages and no strike on the Chesapeake and Onio. On the contrary, everything 1s pros- perous. —-2+—____ An Office Abolished. The disbursing office of the census bu- reau was abolished on Saturday. Mr. J. Stoddard, disbursing officer, declined former position as disbursing officer of the bureau of labor, and has accepted the sec- retaryship of the Washington National ‘Trust and Loan Association. ESAS a The Re: ition Approved. The President has approved the joint resolution empowering the national board of commissioners of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga national parks to authroize state boards or organizations building mon- uments in the parks to use the material therein. CHANGE OF POLICY. President Cleveland Will Rely More Upon His Cabinet IN THE MATTER OF APPOINTMENTS. He Won't Try to Pass Personally on Applicants’ Merits. CONGRESSMEN NOTIFIED. ‘The President has made a radical change in the matter of federal appointments. He Proposes hereafter to accept the recommen- dations made by the heads of the depart- ments to which the apointments relate, in- stead of undertaking to pass personally on the merits of the applicants in each indi- vidual case and making the selection him- self. He pursued this latter course during his first administration and undertook to continue it in this, but the pressure upon him for office has become so great that he has finally been compelled, in the interest of his health, to abandon the task and to divide the work of filling the offices among his eight assistants in the cabinet. In this he adopts the policy of President Harri- son and nearly all of his predecessors in the White House, who quickly realized the hopelessness of passing personally on the acme thousand appointments at their dis- Senators and Representatives In- formed. Senators and Representatives in Congress and politicians generally have been inform- ¢d of the new order of things, and now in- stead of making personal appeals to the President they direct their best energies to securing the indorsement of the members of the cabinet having jurisdiction in the matter. This plan divides the work among eight men and gives the President more time to devote to the consideration of the general business of the government. Al- though it adds to the official burden of the cabinet ministers it is said to be a re- sponsibility they are perfectly willing to assume. Congressional Visitors. It ts said at the White House that thers is no truth in the report that the President has curtailed the visiting privileges of members of Congress, and that they can readily secure an audience with him on public business not pertaining to office. ————~+o.—____. THE CENSUS OFFICE, The Work That ts Left tor the New erintendent to Do. The time when Col. Carroll D. Wright Will assume the position of superintendent of the eleventh census has not been de- termined. Meanwhile, Mr. James H. War- dle, the chief clerk of the census bureau, and who, since the resignation of Robert P. Porter, has been acting superintendent, continues to rule the bureau. The superin- tendency of Mr. Wardle has been eminently satisfactory to the department, and his familiarity with census work is that which comes from long connection with it. The act authorizing Col. Wright to accept the superintendency of the census directed the Secretary of the Interior to grant him compensation not exceeding one-half the salary of superintendent. As Col. Wright draws %,000 per annum as commissioner of labor ‘and as the salary of the super- intendent of the census 1s 36,000, he will Probably receive an annual sum ‘of $8,000. The time for the completion of the census has been extended from December 31 to June 30, 184, The amount of money neces- sary to carry on the work during that period has not been officially named, but it will probably be about $300,000. About 1,000 people are borne on the census rolls. The monthly expenditure cannot be conven- {ently determined, as the disbursing offi of the bureau was abolished a few days ago, and all payments and accounts will hereafter be conducted through the dis- bursing office of the Department of the Interior. The volumes printed and distributed are part I of the compendium, relating to population; volume on mineral resources, repared under direction of Dr. David T. Y; part I of the report on wealth, debt and ‘taxation, prepared under direction of J. K. Upton. The report on Alaska will, it 1s thought, be ready for distribution within ten days. The report on Indians is in type, and the special agent in charge of that branch, Mr. Thos. Donaldson of Phila- delphia, has’ tendered his resignation. The report on pauperism and crime is in type and will be distributed. A large part of the reports on transportation, mortality ‘and education are well advanced. VICE PRESIDENT STEVENSON. A Treasury Watchman Would Not Let Him Into the Building. Presidents have been denied admission to the executive departments by watchmen who did not know them, but it is a most uncommon occurrence. It happened once to President Grant and once to President Hayes, each of whom had some trouble in getting access to the Secretary of the ‘Treasury after hours. Vice President Ste- yenson had a similar experience at the ‘Treasury Department yesterday. He had an engagement with Secretary Carlisle at 4 o'clock In regard to the silver repeal bill and arrived at the building promptly on time. He essayed to enter by the south door on 15th street,and when the vigilant watch- man barred his way he said he was Mr. Stevenson. That conveyed no information to the watchman, and the chances are that the distinguished visitor might have been compelled to break his engagement had it not been for the fact that an ubiquitous newspaper man came along just then and addressed Mr.Stevenson as “the Vice Presi- dent,” whereupon the truth dawned upon the watchman and he opened the doors to their widest extent and made the most pro- fuse apologies. He is a new man, but is not likely to suffer for his conduct, for the reason that he was simply obeying his in- structions. ————— Presidential Nomination The President today sent the following nominations to the Senate: To be special examiners of drugs, medicines and chemi- cals—C, A.

F. Holcomb and C. J. Bryan, con- victed in South Carolina of violating inter- nal revenue laws, and B. B. Golden, con- victed in Kentucky of violating internal revenue laws. He denied the applications for pardon in the cases of Marion Gamble, convicted in Montana of robbing the mail, and Alfred Little, convicted in Kentucky of violating the pension laws. DISTRICT INCONGRESS. Attorney Thomss’ Married Women’s Prop- erty Bill Introduced Into the Senate. A New Law Suggested Instead of Changes in the Old One—Other Matters of Interest. Senator Harris today introduced into the Senate a bill to regulate the ownership of property by married women in the District of Columbia,which was referred to the com- mittee on the District. This bill was pre- pared by the attorney for the District, Mr. ‘Thomas, and in the letter transmitting it the Commissioners say that it is presented as a substitute for House bill 3873, which was submitted to them. It would require 30 much modification, they write, that they prefer to submit a substitute. Attorney Thomas, in a letter to the Com- missioners, which is submitted with the Graft of the bill, says: “It seems to me that if any change ts to be made in the law of this District affecting the rights of married women—and 1 concede that some changes should be made—it should be by the substi- tution of a new and better law, rather than an attempt to patch up a very unsatisfac- tory one. The substitute I have prepared 1s one that I think will mect the approbation generally of the bench and bar of the Dis- trict, and, therefore, one which I think you may safely recommend to Congress for en- actment.”” Provisions of the Bill. Among the provisions of the bill, which contains a number of sections and minutely prescribes the exact relations between man and wife and the iaw with regar] to property owning, is the general provision to enable a married woman to hold real estate in her own name without its being Mable for the debts of the husband, unless the property is transferred to her after marriage in Prejudice of his existing creditors. The sec- ond section provides that property so own- ed or acquired by a married woman shall be for her separate use with power to de- vise as fully as thoush she were a “ferme sole.” It is further provided that a married Woman may be sued jointly with her bus- band and may defeni the action either jointly or separately. Ii shall not ve neces- Sary for her to have # trustee to secure the use of her property. .A widow shall be en- titled to dower in janis held by equitable title by the husbani. Any married woman who, by her skill, industry or personal la- bor shall earn any monoy or property, shall hold the same to her own use with power as @ “femme sole” to invest, bequeath or dis- pose of it. No husband shall be liable for any debt of his wife contracted before mar- ‘To Clone Alleys. Mr. McCreary, by request, has introduced @ bill in the House providing that the alleys in square 71 be closed and the land con- tained therein revert to the owners of the abutting property. The Brightwood Railway Company. In the House late yesterday afternoon Mr. McAleer, by request, introduced @ bill to amend the charter of the Brightwood Railway Company to authorize it to extend its road from its present rights on 7th street along Florida avenue to the intersection with New Jersey avenue, thence along New Jersey avenue to B street northwest, using aa the motive power the Love electric con- duit system. The bill provides that when- ever the route of the proposed extension coincides with tracks occupied with other street railway companies both companies shall use the same track from terms to be agreed upon. The bill authorizes the com- Pany to issue bonds to carry out the im- provement, the amount of the bonds not to exceed the actual cost of the improvement. ‘The Government Print! Office. The question of the inadequacy of the present accommodations at the government printing office came up in the Senate this morning. Senator Gallinger introduced a Joint resolution, which was referred to the committee on printing, making immediately available the sum of $250,000 appropriated in 189 and suspended in 1891 for the purpose of purchasing ground in square 62, adjoin- ing the present building, and for the erec- tion there of suitable storage and ware- house buildings, Senator McMillan presented a memorial. from the Central Labor Union of Saginaw, Mich., praying that the proposed new gov- ernment printing office be built by day labor rather than by contract.

The Republicans Determined Not to Make Capital for the Democrats in Virginia. ‘The republicans are taking very little part in the discussion of the federal elec- tion repeal bill in the House and there is some difficulty in preserving the equilib- rium of debate pro and con. The policy of the republicans, it is understood, is to say as little as possible on this question which can be used by the democrats in the Vir- ginla campaign to excite sectional feeling. ‘fhe populists in Virginia are making a great fight to get control of that state and the belief of a good many leading republi- cans is that they may succeed. They de- sire, therefore, to say or do nothing which may be used for the benefit of the demo- crats in the campaign, The fight in Virginia is viewed with a good deal more interest in Congress than it would under ordinary circumstances ex- cite and there is quite a clever political play being made on that campaign. It is said that some of the Senators of both parties are anxious to have the contest over the Voorhees bill protracted until after the Virginia election for the effect that the result in that state may have on the silver question. Some of the silver men argue that should the democrats be defeated in Virginia, or elect their ticket by a very much reduced majority, southern Senators would be so alarmed by the prospect of Populist gains throughout the south that many of them would abandon the admin- istration and at once advocate some im- mediate and radical inflation of the cur- rency. ————___-2-____. CHINESE EXCLUSION, ‘The McCreary Substitute for the Everett Bill Accepted. At its meeting today the House commit- tee on foreign affairs voted to accept the McCreary substitute for the Everett bill to amend and modify the Geary Chinese registration and exclusion act, and author- ized the chairman to report it to the House. ‘The committee accepted it as it was prepar- ed by Mr. McCreary, and the vote by which the favorable report was ordered was unani- mous, except Mr. Geary’s. The, substitute extends for a period of six months from date of passage of the act the time within which the Chinese may register; strikes out the word white where it occurs, de- scriptive of the racial character of the wit- nesses to be produced by the Chinaman in support of his right to remain in the coun- try, and defines the meaning of the term “Chinese laborer.” ‘The substitute will be reported by Chair- man McCreary tomorrow. ——__-e.__ Death of a Na Officer.

DOLPH’S VIEWS. Why He Will Vote for the Repeal Bill. HIS IDEA OF MR. CLEVELAND'S STAND. Replies to Questions Propounded to Him by Mr. Teller. THE ELECTIONS REPEAL BILL. THE SENATE. ‘The Senate was found to be this morning in its chronic no-quorum condition; but after a roll call the attendance of forty- | three Senators (the exact quorum) was as- certained, and the routine morning busi- hess was proceeded with. After the routine morning business an ‘amendment to the silver purchase repeal bill was offered by Mr. Morgan (Ala.). It revives the coinage act of 1837, and provides | for the remission of 20 per cent of import duties on goods imported from countries that admit standard silver dollars, of the present weight and fineness, as legal ten- der for all debts, public and private. That Alleged Extract. ‘The question as to the printed extract from the Bankers’ Magazine of August, 1873, to which Mr. Sherman had called at- tention yesterday, was again revived this morning by Mr. White (Cal), in whose speech it had appeared; and Mr. White re- ferred to a speech made some years ago by @ member of Congress, in which he had found the extract as he had quoted it. He had, however, examined since yesterday the Bankers’ Magazine of August, 1873, and found that it did not contain the extract. Mr. Sherman repeated the statement which he had made yesterday that he im- puted no blame to the Senator from Cali- fornia. And he stated as a remarkable thing that in the first quotation of Senator Beck of Kentucky of Mr. Hooper's speech in reference to Mr. Seyd the words “who Is now here” did not appear. So that that in- terpolation, as well as the fabrication of the Bankers’ Magazine article, had been made since 1878. Mr. Dolph Resumes His Speech. ‘The silver purchase repeal bill was taken up at 11:30, and Mr. Dolph (Oreg.) continued his speech of yesterday afternoon. He sent to the clerk’s desk and had read extracts from President Clevelaad’s mes- sages during his former administration, Seed his views upon the subject of silver. le said that those extracts justified the statement that the success of the demo- cratic party, with such a candidate, was the verdict’ of the American people in favor of the discontinuance of the pur- chase of silver and of the coinage of silver dollars. In the extracts which he had read that course had been urged by President Cleveland in, unmistakable, language, and the reasons for it presen’ Mr. Teller (Col) asked him what he thought the chances were Gudging from the messages he had read) of any legisla- tion friendly to silver during the present administration. Did he think there was any hope of such legislation unless it was attached to the repeal bill? Mr. Cleveland and Silve: “It I cast my vote for the repeal of the silver purchase act, as I expect to do,” Mr. Dolph replied, “I will not do it with the expectation that during the present admin- istration there will be. any other legisla- tion concerning silver. I do not know a single utterance of President Cleveland's from the time of his first letter to Mr. Warner of Ohio before his first inaugura- tion up to the present time that would lead any one to suppose he had changed his po- sition in relation to silver coinage, or that he did not stand today in favor of the re- peal of the Sherman law, and opposed to the further purchase of silver bullion and to the further coinage of silver dollars. I do not expect that he will recommend to Con- gress any legislation looking to the use of silver by the United States, without the co- operation of other countries. And I do not expect that Congress could pass any act for the use of silver by this country alone that would receive his approval. But I un- derstand that he would be in favor of what he considers a practical use of silver. The free coinage of silver is only practicable with an international agreement, by which the mints of all commercial countries of the world shall be open to the free coinage of silver at an agreed ratio.” Mr. Stewart (Nev.)—with Mr. Dolph’s con- sent—fortified his extracts by another one from the President's recent message de- claring that the people are entitled to sound and honest money. An International Agreement Favored. Mr. Teller, referring to an extract which Mr. Dolph had read yesterday from the re- port of Mr. Manning, the first Secretary of the Treasury in the first Cleveland admin- istration, in which Mr. Manning declared that there was no hope of an international agreement—asked Mr. Dolph whether there was any reason to suppose that the present executive would take any steps to secure an internation: arrangement that would secure bimetallism throughout the world. “I have no reason to suppose,” Mr. Dolph replied, “that Mr. Cleveland ‘has not al- ways been earnestly in favor of an inter- national arrangement. I do not doubt the good faith of Mr. Cleveland. He is honest when he asserts (as I understand he has asserted from time to time) that he is in favor of bimetallism by an international agreement, whereby the parity of both metals can be maintained. Mr. Dolph occupied the floor about two hours and a half; but his speech had been broken in upon by several other Senators, and various Important questions had been raised and discussed. One of them was as to the Brussels monetary conference. Mr. Allison, a delegate to it, said that he did not understand the reasons why its re- assembling had been postponed from the 30th of May until November, and asserted that all the delegates from European coun- Great Britain, had declared themselves in favor of the use of silver money, but had not seen the way to carry out that idea in their tive countries. He quoted Mr. Rothschild especially as predicting the disastrous ef- fects that would follow the disuse of silver. Mr. Power (Mont.) followed Mr. Dolph with an argument against the repeal bill, THE HOUSE. The call of the committees in the House this morning was unproductive of results, and the debate on the federal election re- peal bill was resumed. Mr. Northway (Ohio) in speaking against the measure said that it was a peculiarity of his to stand by the under dog in « fight. and realizing that the United States was the under dog in this fight he took some Pleasure in defeading that under dog. He then entered upon an argument to prove that the laws were perfectly constitutional, He finished with a peroration which elic. ited for him loud republican applause, Mr. Kyle (Miss.) spoke in opposition to the federal election laws, The minority re- port of the committee on elections of Presi. dent and Vive President had never been equaled for injustice by any report that he had ever read, and he denounced the statement made in that report that Mis- sissippi had the most perfectly operating system for fraud yet devised in the south, He submitted that there was no good rea- Son that Mississipp! should be held up and criticised and that the election methods north of the Mason and Dixon line should be open to criticism. ———__— Flowers for Mr. Holcombe.

Commissioner Lamoreux Makes His An- of During the Past Year—Several Timely Recommendations. 8. W. Lamoreux, the commissioner of the several land office, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior, shows that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1893, the aggregate of public lands disposed of Was 11,891,143 acres, of which 1,404,958 acres were sold for cash, 10,396,727 were Indian cellaneous entries and $9,457 were Indian lands.

In closing his report “Commissioner Lamoreux makes a number of recommenda- tions, of which the following are the most important: That the office of surveyor general for Alaska be created; that proper legislation be enacted for the segregation of timber lands from agricultural and other lands of the public domain and the proper dis- posal of the land and timber under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior; that a law for the protection and manage- ment of forest reservations*be enacted by Congress; that a law be enacted for the compulsory attendance of witnesses at land office hearings, and that the commissioner be empowered to authorize, when deemed expedient, surveys and resurveys at a reasonable compensation by the day, in- stead of by the mile, and when surveys are required involving only a small ex- penditure, that the commissioner may au- thorize the same to be made for @ specified sum for the entire work. —_+ o+____ HEARINGS ON FINANCIAL MATTERS. The House Committee at Work, but mo Sfan of Speedy Action. By the hearings which they are holding the House committee on banking and cur- rency are collecting @ good deal of informa- tion which they expect to be valuable to them in the formation of financial measures to be reported, but there is nothing in their course of procedure which tends to speedy action. There is a desire in the committee to delay reporting any measure of conse- quence until the question in the Senate is settled, and, therefore, they are proceeding with great deliberation. There will probably be another week of hearings devoted to Representatives in the House who have in- troduced financial bills. After that a certain number of financial experts not in Congress will be heard. A great many heresies are being ventilated in the committee and they expect to profit by these as danger signals. Davis, the populist, instructed the committee today in the mysteries of the populist theories of finance and there will be others as radical as he heard. Two measures which are be- ing pressed and which are liable to come out of the committee at any time, notwith- standing the purpose to keep back all re- ports until after the Voorhees bill has been disposed of in the Senate, are the one to permit the national banks to issue currency to par value of bonds and that to repeal the tax on state banks. As to the latter meas- ure, it is said that the members favoring it are divided, some favoring unconditional repeal of the tax and others desiring fed- eral supervision ich would place the state banks under as rigid control as are the national banks. Between these two ele- ments it is believed that the repeal of the tax is in great danger of failing, as neither would agree to what the other proposed. Recor A WAR SHIP IN SIAM. The Gunboat Concord Arrived Bangkok Yesterday. It is not generally known that the United States has a warship in Siam, as an inter- ested spectator of the diplomatic settlement of the recent trouble between that country and France. Such is the case, however. The gunboat Concord arrived at Bangkok yesterday. She is on her way to Hong Kong, and on leaving Singapore made a lit- tle detour and went to the Siamese capital, instead of proceeding direct to China. It is said at the Navy Department that the visit has no significance whatever, and that it was made without instructions from Wash- ington. The commander of the vessel took her to Bangkok entirely on his own re- sponsibility, and he had ample authority to do so, as it was very lttle out of his regu- lar route. When he left Singapore he sent a cable message to the department, saying that he was going to Bangkok, and that is all they know about it. ——————— To Represent the Army. Majs. Alfred A.
