Has He Saitled for Honolula or Nott The question of who is to command our naval forces at Honolulu after Admiral Ir- win’s retirement is a matier which up to yesterday was thought to have been settled, but would seem to be very far from that point. Recently Commodore Kirkland was ordered to that duty, but, so it is sald, has been suddenly recalled, although no definite information as to the why or the wherefore n be obtained. Commodore Kirkland was detaehed from command of the League Ia- land navy yard in Philadelphia and ordered to relieve Admiral Irwin in time to permit the latter to reach home before retirement. | p His orders required Commodore Kirkland to leave San Francisco on the 17th Instant. He is said to have reached San Francisco in! good season. Press dispatches announcing the departure of the Hawailan steamer of the 17th instant included Commodore Kirk- land's name in the list of her passengers. Consequently much surpr was caused by a little paragraph in yesterday's Star saying that Commodore Kirkland had through Denver, Col., yesterday on his way to relieve Admiral Benham of the command of the South Atlantle station. The dispatch was confusing, in that it said that the naval officer was on his way west. His natural route to the Brazilian station would be east from Denver. pin pn could be gained today at Navy rtment, both the Secretary ard assistant secretary being absent from the city. eee The Seigniorage Bil The vital interest felt in the fate of the seigniorage bill was clearly manifested today in the large number of Congressmen | who called at the White House to talk to} the President upon that subject. The Texas delegation was well represented by Messrs. Culverson, Sayers and Kiigore, while other callers were Senators Faulkn-r and Cam- den of West Virginia, Senator Berry of sand Representative Tom Johnson President saw all of these listening particularly to bearing upon the bill that is aly Beeanse his time fs so fully occupied t President found it nm ry to telegraph the committee of the New York chamber of commerce ington to urge a and i veto, Sugyesting that the -e- No Public Reception, which was to come to Wash- | | KOSSUTH MOURNED His Remains to Be Taken Back to Hungary. WR. GLADSTONE SEES AN OCULIS? AngOperation Likely to Be Per- formed. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS TURIN, Italy, March 21.—The death of Louis Kossuth, the distinguished Hungar- fan patriot and soldier, has cast a feeling of deepest gloom all over this city. The municipal authorities have placed themselves entirely at the disposal of the Kossuth family in regard to the arrange- ments being made for the funeral. The authorities “expressed the desire that the remains of the great Hungarian should be buried in the Pantheon, in which many of the illustricus dead of Italy have their last resting place. But the family has decided to remove the remains to Hungary, and, together with the remains of his wife and daughter, which are interred in the English cemetery at Genoa, they will be escorted to Buda Pesth, where, it is expected, they will be given a public funeral. A cast of Kossuth’s fuce was taken this morning and the body was then embalmed. Very many messages of sympathy have reached the dead patriot’s family and many more are coming in every hour from. dif- ferent parts of Europe, as well as from America and other foreign countries. The remains of Kossuth will remain here until the bodies of his wife and daughter are ex- humed and all the preparations for the funeral in Hungary have been completed. The dead man’s sons will accompany the bodies to Buda-Pesth. BUDA-PESTH, March 21.—The greatest 5 vad is expressed here at the death of Louis ossuth. Mourning emblems are being dis- played on all sides, and every newspaper in = cities appeared today with black ers. Mourning flags are already rik from many houses, and before the day !s past the cities will be black with crape and oth- er emblems of the sorrow felt by the people of Hungary at the death of the exiled patriot. The lower house of the Hungarian diet, which had adjourned, has been summoned to meet in special session on Friday next a _— to take action upon Kossuth's jeath, GLADSTONE SEES AN OCULIST.

LONDON, March 21.—The Times today Publishes a letter written by its corre- spondent who left Rio Janeiro on the in- surgent war ship Aquidaban and sent to Montevideo, from which city it was ca- bled to the Times. He says: “The surrender of the insurgents at Rio Janeiro is considered a serious loss to the revolutionary cause. Their laying down their arms, however, will not prevent @ continuation of the civil war. “I left Desterro on March 15 and upon arriving at Rio Grande do Sul I found that opinion there and at Porto Alegre was fa- vorable to the revolution. It is rumored in Rio Grande do Sul that Admiral da Gama and four hundred of his officers and men were taken by the Portuguese war ship to Santa Catharina. The Republica is now at Paranagua and the Aquidaban t Desterro. ‘Leaving the Aquidaban at Ilha Dos Por- cos I transferred myself to the Republica and arrived at Paranagua on the 27th. I proceeded on the 28th to Curityba, where I found that the entire state of Parana was in possession of the insurgents. I then proceeded to Ponto Grosso, where I found Gen, Saraiva and the headquarters staff of the insurgent army. The main body of the army was at Castro, fifty miles south of the frontier of the state of Sao Paulo. The army consists of four thousand men, exclusive of two thousand troops who were raised locally for the defense of the state of Parana. The troops were well armed and had a fair supply of ammunition, most of which had been captured at va- rious places from the government troops. The troops were, generally speaking, all mounted. The army is made up of mount- ed infantry and cavalry, with a battery of six Krupp field guns and four machine guns. It is now ready to invade Sao Paulo. Gen. Saraiva stats that his men are in good spirits and that the success of his army is probable.” For the second time this week the Prest- today disappointed a large cro: who gathered in the east room to S. \ in Following upon the decline in the mortal!- ty during week before last, a still further decrease of about 10 per cent occurred last week. The deaths from acute lung diseases remained at their maximum intensity, but the fatal cases of consumption fell off over 40 per cent. While there were two deaths from typhoid fever, there were none from malarial causes, nor from scarlatina. Six new cases of diphtherla were reported and four deaths therefrom, as against seven cases and five deaths by the last report. The catarrhal influenza made its presence known by carrying off four victims. This mysterious malady still lingers among the people to such an extent as to forewarn everybody to use great care against im- proper exposure to the weather, however sunny and inviting it may be. In many instances the germs of this disease lie dor- t retaining their pathogenic char- acter, ready to develop into acute relapses when exciting causes are superinduced. in detail, states number of ; colored, 41.

Bishop Hurst brings encouraging news from the central Pennsylvania conferenze, which has just closed at Harrisburg, where he was the guest of Gov. Pattison. The preachers of this body last year subscribed $2,300 to the Asbury Hall, and this year they brought the amount up to over $4,000, The total of the pledges to this ministerial fund ts now $65,000. One member of this same conference has given $5,000 to found an alcove in the American University Library. Gov. Pattison greatly delighied the preachers in an address on Monday last. The governor's father formerly served as a Methodist preacher and presiding elder in and about Harrisburg. ——_——.__ Capt. J son's Funeral. The funeral of the late Capt. Thomas T. Johnson, whose death was noted in The Star of yesterday, took place this after- noon from his late residence, 320 11th street southeast, and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. Dr. David Wilson, and the remains were taken to the Congressional cemetery, where they were placed in the vault. The pallbearers were Messrs, Coleman, Woodward, Proctor 1 of | and Peacock, fellow officers at the jail, and James Fitzpatrick and Joseph J. McNer- any. THE OTHER SIDE eee (Continued from Second Page.) “Miss Pollard told me that she had given seme books to the asylum—Washington Irving’s works—but I told her I thought they had been given by a young woman who thought she had not sufficiently com- pensated the institution. The books were produced, all four volumes. I found two volumes and Mr. Carlisle the other two. Miss Pollard said there ought to be in one of them a Christmas card, and this she found in the fousth volume, together with an invisible net that she claimed she used to use to fasten up her bangs.” In answer to a question the deponent said that the card looked rumpled and bent at the edges and not at all as though it had been kept in a book for nine years. Miss Pollard told her that people would be surprised at what ladies and gentlemen she would have as witnesses when the case came up for trial, and when she was usked why she was bringing the suit che said it was to disgrace him for denying his en- gagement or refusing to live up to his promises. Deponent told Miss Vollard that she would be the only one to surfer by the trial, for Mr. Breckinridge could walk out of court with his head up and his friends would recognize him as ete while her life would be ruined forever. Miss Pol- lard replied that she was determined that he should no longer have the opportunity to address young ladies and :nake speeches to religious societies. Another Sister Failed to Recognize Mies Pollard. Deponent stated that another of the sisters was present at the interview, but failed to recognize Miss Pollard. The lat- ter, too, was asked what she wore when she was in the asylum, but could not re- member at first, though afterward she said she thought she wore a henrietta cloth dress. No female physician visited any in- mate of the asylum in the spring of 185, deponent said, and if Dr. Mary Street came to see any one in 1883, It was without her! knowledge, and such a state of things she! did not think was possible. Miss Pollard spoke of the death while she was there of a girl who had formerly been a servant, but deponent did not recollect such an oc- currence, though the records showed the death of a girl a short time after, who was @ pay patient. Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Johnson were in- troduced to the authorities of the asylum, deponent continued, by a letter from the archbishop of the diocese, Wm. Henry El- der, who sald they had been recommended to him by Bishop Keane of Washington. No effort was made, deponent sald, to keep any information from Miss Pollard or her law- yers. She did not remember a zinc trunk at the asylum in 1885, nor did she remember sending any woman to Dr. Belle Buchan- an’s in 1885 In a carriage. The asylum owned no carriage and {t was an inviolable Tule never to send away any woman, no matter how poor, before she was fully re- covered, never inside of two weeks. Eliza, a simple-minded servant at the Place, did not recollect Miss Pollard, though the latter spoke of a lamp with a clock in it that Eliza had placed in her room while she was in the asylum. Depo- nent was certain that no such lamp and clock were ever in the asylum, The Hours of Meals. During this interview Miss Pollard said they used to have breakfast at 7:30, dinner at 11:30 and supper at 5:30. In point of fact, deponent said, breakfast was at 6:45, dinner was at 12 and supper at 5. Mi Pollard was also mistaken as to the hour and circumstances of the celebration of mass. Did Not Think Miss Pollard and Miss Burgoyne the Same. Deponent stated that in her opinion Miss Burgoyne and Miss Pollard were not one and the same person She described Miss Burgoyne to show wherein the two differ- ed. If she saw Miss Burgoyne again she ‘was sure she would know her again. Miss Burgoyne was from Ohio, and was at- tended by a mule physician, Dr. DeCourcey. During the interview Miss Pollard told how a number of things were at the time she claimed to be at the asylum, but really they were not that way at all. As to the incident of the finding of the Christmas card deponent could not say whether one of the parties present at the interview had put it in the book, though this might have been done as she was look- ing in the other direction. Deponent said that, in her opinion, the card had not been in that book for nine years. The card did not look that way, and the books, too, were at the disposal of the inmates to take to their rooms and use them as they wished. Miss Pollard described the “delicious meals she used to have,” radishes, lettuce and all sorts of early vegetables. In point of act, deponent said, the institution was in debt at the time and the meals were plain and wholesome, but not at all luxurious and marked by an absence of all early and expensive fruits and vegetables. The Cross-Ex ination Read. ‘The cross-examination, which was con- ducted by Mr. Mallon, was read this after- noon by Mr. Carlisle. The deponent stated that there was a statue of St. Joseph in the chapel, of plaster of Paris, but there was no marked defect about it. It had been in the chapel for about thirteen years. De- ponent was made sister superior of the institution in August, 1885. Prior to that time Sister Cecilia was in that position. In the absence of Sister Cecilia, deponent was in charge of the asylum and made all contracts with would-be inmates. The deponent said that her duties w mostly on the second floor, while Sist Cecilia had the floor below. Referring to the Washington Irving works, the deponent said that, so far as she knew, Mr. Carlisle had ohe of the volumes in his hand all the time. Miss Pollard and My. Johnson had two other volumes. The rose found in one of them by Miss Pollard had been pressed for .a Jong time, but hardly, she thought, more than a year. The court adjourned at 8:3 row morning. unti! tomor- MONEY FOR MISS POLLARD. Where the Plaintiff is Supposed to Get Her Funds. LEXINGTON, Ky., March 21.—Maj. Hor- ace Means, who is one of the leaders of Col. Breckinridge’s political opponents here, declares that a wealthy widow, residing in Washington, went to Mr. Wilson at the time Miss Pollard was begging him to take her suit, and told him to go ahead with the case and that she would back Miss Pollard to the amount of $5,000. “I will not call the lady’s name,” said Maj. Means, “but Miss Pollard had been | introduced to her at a summer resort by | Mrs. Blackburn, and she took quite a fancy to the young woman. When the scandal came up she wrote Miss Pollard, telling her to call, and assured her that financial as- sistance would be given her.” | _Maj. Means could not be persuaded to disclose the name of the woman he re- ferred to, but was confident that this was the source of Miss Pollard’s funds. Many ere wondered where the money was com- ing from with which this sult was being pushed, — HELD IN COMMITTE! The Bills to Incorporate the Great Falla Power Co, Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 21.—The bills introduced in the state senate by Mr, Tal- bott of Montgomery county, and in the house by Mr. Lamar of the same county, to incorporate the Yreat Falls Power Com- pany, are still held py the committee on corporations, and their fate at present Is uncertain as the lobby {s said to be against them. As it is near the end of the session they will have to be reported very soon or it will be impossible io secure their pas- sage. | Senator Talbott and Mr. Lamar, when | asked by The Star correspondent about the prospect of these bills, replied that they did not know. They had introduced them by request and had no further interest in them. In faét they do not appear to care whether the bills ever see daylight or not. ee An Assignment. A. R.

ONLY THE SENATE But One Branch of Congress in Session Today. Not Much Beyond Routine Bu: ene Transacted—Some of the Measures Considered and Passed. The critical condition of Senator Colquitt of Georgia was the inspiration of prayer of the Senate chaplain, Mr. Milburn, this morning. The chaplain said: “Hvarken to our earnest cry, oh, Lord God, in whose hands our breath is. Hearken to our © in behalf of our beloved friend and brother, the Senator from Georgia. Stretch forth Thy hand, O Lord, we implore Thee, and draw him back to the duties and life of this world, that he may once more take bis place in this chamber, and rejoice the heart of all who know and love him. Succor and comfort his heart-broken wife and children, and let Thy loving kindness come to all who suffer, we humbly beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.” Routine Business, The Vice President being absent, Mr. Harris, the President pro tem., occupied the chair this morning, and the Senate promptly settled down to routine business, and a number of bills were taken from the cal- endar and passed, among them being one for the relief of the legal representat Chauncey M. Lockwood and Roy Hubbard, and one for the relief of Wu Keightly and Horace A. W. Tabor. A bill of interest to the people of the Dis- trict of Columbia was passed making the surveyor of the District of Columbia a 1 M. m. M. the | vos of | INDEX TO ADVE!

At the request of Senator Washburn of Minnesota the Senate took up the Senate bill for the relief of Christopher Schmidt, who was totally disabled from a shot re- celved on the rifle range at Fort Snelling, Minn., and passed it. The original bill granted the beneficiary a lump sum of $10,- 000, but was amended so as to give him a pension of $40 per month. Mr. McPherson, chairman of the commit- tee on. naval affairs, introduced a bill Propriating $50,000 for a bronze statue 6n the grounds of the Naval Academy at An- napolis, Md., of George Bancroft, the found- er of the school, and formerly Secretary of the Navy. The bill was referred to the com- mittee on the library. ‘The Senate also passed a Senate bill for the benefit of certain persons residing in the victnity of Jefferson Barracks, Mo., and also the Senate bill making an appropria- tion of $10,000 for the improvement of the road to the Nationa! cemetery near Pen- sacola, Fla.

The estimates of the amount of revenue which the tariff bill, as reported to the Senate yesterday, will produce, show that the total amount will Ye about $:81,000,- 000, This is a reduction of between §15,- 000,000 and $14,000,000 from the estimates on the first bill reported to che committee The principal reduction is made in the in- ternal revenue part of the bill through the restoration of the present tax rates on do- mestic cigars and cigarettes,which amounts to a loss of over $10,100.40. There will also be an appreciable falling of in the duty on tin plate caused by changing the duty on that importation from 1 1-3 cents to one cent per pound. As the bill stands, if the estimate is cor- rect, it will produce at least $39,000,000 more of revenue than will be needed. The change made in the sugar schedule will not cause a showing in the revenue estimates different from that made on the subcom- mittee bill, as the first estimate was made upon sugar testing 9 degrees fine. The estimate for the present bill will probably be upon the same grade of sugar. There would, however, be a slight difference in actual returne, as the maximum duty un- der the present bill is 1.28 1-2 cents per pound as against 1.40 on the subcommittee late the carriage of passengers by sea.” To provide for the establishment and en- forcement of rules and regulations for the use and navigation of United States canals and similar works of navigation; to regu- late the marking of the names of vessels on the stems and sterns and for the mark- ing of the draught on the stern pos' To grant a right of way to the Jamestown and Northern railway through the Devil's Lake Indian reservation in North Dakota; for re- Hef of heirs of C.

At 2 o'clock the Senate took up as un- finished business the Senate bill to simplify the form of deeds of conveyance, trust and releases of land tn the District of Columbia, and Senator Allen (Neb.) spoke in oppost- tion to it. The Senate at 3:15 p.m., on motion of Senator Harris, proceeded to the considera- tion of executive business. + e+ A RAPID ASSEMBLY OF TROOPs. Col. Clay Calls Without War the Fourth Battalion and It Re: What might be expected from the tional Guard of the District of Columbia in the way of rapid assembly in case of an emergency requiring its services was s! yesterday evening by the fourth batialion of the second regiment. A little before 7 o'clock Col. Clay asked Messrs. Scheller and Stevens, druggists at th street and Pennsylvania avenue, ~vhevh- er they would be kind enough to deliver a message to Maj. Campbell, at hig residence, directing him to turn out his battalion at once. They very promptly complied with this request, and Maj. Campbell reacned his armory at 7 o'clock and began issuing his orders, The colonel had in the meantime ordered four messenger boys to repurt to the major at the armory. Three of the boys had no bicycles and were promptly dismissed. The fourth was sent on dis wheel to the extertor wilds of East Wash- ington for the captain of one of the cum- panties, whom, after three-quarters of an hour, he reported he could not ‘iad at home. Meantime orders had been dispatched | every available method to manders and others,and the res at ten minutes after 8 the major had 6 per cent of the entire number of officers and men borne on the rolis of his taiion, whether sick or well, absent or for dv assembled in the drill hall, un‘formed, arm- ed and awaiting orders. In view of the fact that not an officer or man of his command had the slightest intimation of the proposed assembly, nor had the major, until notified by Col. Clay, the result may be considered very gratify- ing. With 1,500 men in the District guard, the same rate of assembly would place 45 men, a:med and equipped, at Gen, Ord- way’s disposal in one hour and ten minutes. Major Campbell and his officers and men deserve great credit for having thus shown to the citizens of the District what may be expected, should it ever become necessary to call upon the guard for the protection of life or property here. Men came from as far as 13th and H_ streets northeast. Others, who were employed on plece work at the government printing office, without hesitation reported for duty. The com- mendable spirit shown by the officers and men concerned in this sudden call for duty is considered all the more praiseworthy in view of the discouragement under which the guard has labored for several years in the matter of its annual encampment, for which Congress has made no appropria- tion. —— Appropriation BIL Four bills reported by the appropriations committee of the House—that is, the Dis- bill. The difference on this score would be controlled entirely by the quantity of the high grade sugars imported. COXEY’S ARMY. Said a Local Escort Will Be Formed Here. Col. A. E. Redstone, the local representa- tive of Coxe} commonweal army, was dis- tributing miaps and pamphlets of the pro- posed march on Washington about the House of Representatives yesterday. The members were disposed to make light of the move and to doubt whether it could ma- terialize. Col. Redstone assured inquirers that he was receiving daily bulletins from Coxey, showing that the army was gaining great strength. Car loads of provisions were being donated for the subsistence of the army and some of the steel works in Penn- sylvania had offered wagons enough to transport supplies. Local groups of unem- ployed men were being organized in Wash- ington, and Col. Redstone said these would aggregate 10,000, who would serve as an escort to meet the approaching army. The projectors of the scheme say no violence will occur. The army will make its petition to Congress and will then march away and disband. ~~ INJUNCTION REFUSED. Before Justice Hagner, Equity Court, Di- vision 2, today, the case of C. G. Schneider and wife against the Garfield Memorial Hospital and the District of Columbia to re- strain the location of the hospital for con- tagious diseases on the grounds of the Gar- field Hospital was heard on motion for an injunction, Messrs. J. M. Vale and L. N Colby appeared for complainants, Mr. S. T. Thomas for the District and Mr. Fendall for the hospital. The bill stgtes that the in- tention was to locate the hospital on the northeast corner of the grounds and such location would damage their property, and the residents of that section would be in danger from the contagious diseases. The District and the hospital deny that the lo- cation of a general hospital for contagious diseases has been contemplated, but admit that it was recommended by the superin- tendent of charities that a pavilion for minor diseases, measles, diphtheria, etc., established, but this recommendation has not been concurred in. This morning for the respondents affidavits of Dr. J. S. Bel- lamy and others as to the advisability of the grounds of the Garfield Hospital for a hospital for minor contagious diseases were read. It being eonceded that the answers show- ed that respondents did not contemplate the action charged the court made an order refusing the injunction. FINANCIAL.
