Bomey, retired, affords groat sat isf actiou in Washington. Several weeks ago I had something to say about Lioutonant Lemly and predicted his appointment. Hois a thoroughly manly fellow, a hard workor. a careful student and a good lawyer, aul if. thero ever was promotion that was deserved his is.

For a long as is known in tho navy department, Lieutenant Lemly has practically done the entire work of tbo judge advocate general's ofiice, his predecessor, Colonel Homey, owing to his unfortunate mental condition, being tottlly unable to attend to tho business. Lemly went quietly and unostentatiously on. did tho work of two men and said nothing about, it. The reward that has nowoometo hiin ho therefore richly deserves. In connection, howover.with his promotion thero 'is one fact which I bcliovo should btf made pul lie.

and that is the bitter and unjustifiable exposition nia'do to him by the friends of Commander UcCella. When the latter, by his erratic and imprudent conduct, to say tho least about it, brought tronbie and disgrace upon hineiolf. Lieutonsn4 Lemly was called upon to testify before tho court martial that tried McC'aihi. Ilei was under oath and. as an honest man, ho could do nothing but tell tho truth.

This ho did.

Everybody in this aity is Blwi that the silver bugaboo is out of the way, at least for this season. It has been as a nightmare to conservative statesmen for tbo past six months, end has caused a aeverauce of many a hitherto close political friendship. Tho rejection of tho Stewart bill by. tho honso.of representatives i3 regarded, and with just reason, as a great victory by Congressman Tracy end tho little band of Democratie hard money men who have stood together and persistently and vigorously fought the shouting, unreasonable ami lierco horde of Western anil Southern rse silvor men sineo'tbe first introduction of tho Eland bill in the house. To those Democrats who regard party aaceew as over and above mero personal aggran dizemsift, ttje defeat of tho Stewart bill is received with equanimity, oven although their lesnings are toward a fre? and unlimited coinage of silver.

BTr. Breckinridge of Kentucky, in speaking to mo on the subject just after the exciting scenes that ecnrred in tho house on Wednesday, said: regardethe result of tho contest as fortunate, aid am confident that it will result in tho ejection of Mr. Cleveland as President and in the retention of a number of members of tho house from tbo East who would otherwise have lost their This opinion of Mr. Breckinridge's I find, now that the smoke of bat tle is cleared away and oil tho participants in tho struggle have given their calmer judgment opportnnitv to ussert Itself, to bo very generally indorsed. Ex Speaker Thomas' B.

Heed took advantage of the debate on the Stewart bill to make one of his brilliant, epigrammatic and powerful speeches. Once again, and probably for Hie last time this session, his associates in tho lower houso, irrespective of party, paid tribute to his master mind and convincing logic. They laughed at his witty sallies and applauded his rounded periods, even though the sentiments that ho expressed were as gall and wormwood to many of them. Bourko Cockran of New the man that Tammany hall has selected to succeed Frank Hiscoek in the senate, has seat just across tho eisle from Mr. Beeti.

No ono on the floor of tho houso seemed to erjoy the ex spoaker's address as ranch as Sir. Coekran. Ho shook his big head from aide to side and laughed loudly at Tom Heed's jokes, and he clapped his hands vigor opsly more than once before tho speech was concluded. As I said in my dispatch to tho Eagle at tho time, Wednesday's contest was the last field day of the first session of the Fifty second congress. Tim remaining few days of session will be taae, nil and uninteresting, and congress will male short work of what little business thcro is left to do.

From those in a position to know what is going on I am tokj that wo n(hy look for an adjournment on tho of this month, a week from to day. The only question now remaining to bo decided over which there is a ripple of excitement is tho world fair appropriation measure, and. from what I am able to learn from persona! investigation, Congressman John M. Clancy voiced the feelings of most of his associates from New York when he said to mo, "I am inclined to vote against giving tho world fair people this money, Thoshabby way in which NewYorkers Chicago has not helped the buUt'then. agaSniWe nicn who have had charge of tho business bore have mismanaged it from beginning to end.

Their course has been marked bstnpidity, procrastination and superlative arrogance and now af, tho tail end of tho sossion they come into town with an inflated lobby and expect to grab the prize. They may succeed, bat ft least two thirds of the members of congress will, am sure, not grieve if they fail. Certainly Tork delegation will not shed teats if Cfc.oa does not get that 35,000.000 appropria StZt glancing over the week's work in con jjreap woulH ba amiss not to refer to the eloquw.t delivered by John K. Fel Sowa, jhd es distrlct attorney of fNew York "iiity. fn riohalf of a liberal appropriation to tbo Svy.

Among his many oratorical snc Colonel Fellows must hereafter place in the very front rank th speech that ho delivered on Thursday. When an orator succeeds not only in tickling the fancy of his hearers and in drawing from them spontaneous applause, but in converting them against their own judgment to his w. thinking, bo may be said to have been in the highest degree successful. This is exactly what Oolohel Fellows did. lie changed votes enongh by hi, magnificent oration to assure the passage of tho measure that he advocating.

Natnrally, Secretary of the Navy Tracy is inush gratified, hot only over ii. appropriation of $50,000 for the Columbian nival display, but particularly beeatiso of rhrt liher.il appropriation made for tho new battle ship. One of the most origins 1 and to nie interesting men among the New York city Republican politicians is John Simpson of the Sixth district, the side partner of Timothy Campbell and superintendent of the barge office. Ho came to Washington this week to look no a little navy yard patronage and incidentally to get some information as to how the campaign in New York was to be run and who was te ha va charge of it. Simpson does not enthuse over tho Republican pros pects in New York.

"Harrison." he said, "won't get 1,200 votes in my district. The Democrats i have so too much down my way. Look at what I have to contend against. lammanvHallliesover $200,000 worth of patronage in my district aiono. Harrison's vote tilers was U.200 in 1888.

That 700 represented tho increase in tho population of tho district between '8 and "SS, cud I got tho wholo of it for the Republican party by personal effort.

On last Thursday evening an interesting entertainment and presentation took place under the auspices if the Vincc ntian litorary union attached to the Church of St. Vincont do Paul, of which Rev. iiu Carroll is pastor.

The hall was crowded Mid a great deal of enthusiasm shown over tiie victory of tho Yiueeutiaus. The trophy was nr. gp.iflceiit engraved silver pitcher. It was pre. to the Vincent ian miiua for the pool eli.uupinnship by tho Diocesan union of young men's societies.

The presentation spe ich was made by Mr. Charles A. Webber. Mr. Webber said I clergy and follow ni'.

Is it not an unusual sight and a gladsome and wt lcomt) one? A sbetrt time Mid such nn SKse Libbig" not heard of. scarce dreuu: f. Of late, th' ugh. we li hael several sueh gatherings.

What I'd we to accomplish bv such How have we succeeded? Well, r.iiicirah:'; le yond xooeti tiou. In tho face of a very widespread dissatisfaction with past unions, flic object of tin union is to band vat'ioui young men's societies together ftr their good: thr.t friendly relations may established 1h twecu tlie societies; that the members may make new iiri'l, Thaps, veluablo that the different societies may I earn of each others lio ns: thht they may tin vuriotts plans of government, the fiimti 'iR niansge lm attractions and iiitlr.cemcuts of eccti: tliut rh. vnerien 1 each ty may be to the i roiit of ill; that iric idiy rivairy inpy If c'x' ited between the societies by means of tournaments, contests in lmtt btll and athletics, literary und oratorical contests, debutes. that new societies may he advHeiJ und tr.cour.med; that schmnet for tho benefit ot young men, us accommodations for ti'Jd sports. boHtiug, gymnasium: which iiui vkiutd societies could not aK'inpt.

may bo rendered feasible by combined action: that a buroan of information to plsys. dramatic, musical and ether talent may be established, to i'ueilititte tho giving nf lectures, that current literature may bediscuss and reemnmend The field is indeed a broad and nractical one. Wo tnade good, encoureche: start. Not good and en 'ouraging because of large numbers but because of the earnestness ami determination of the pioneers aiitl their linn belief in tho Tiiiue ami utility of their causo. We hr.ve grown, not rapidly it is true, nothing of tbo mushroom about our growth, but a good steady andcontinu advuiK'c until now wo number sixteen socle ties.

Well, what have we dono, what have we vomplisiied? Th ir first aim was to get ac on another. AV cast about for the means of something entertaining and attractive which v. ml. 1 bring us in contact. We foun 1 A nice, quiet, social, little game of base ball.

The season fi.vured it so we soon had our league formed and unless than twelve teams at it. it was great season. Thore was. some phenomenal playing an i more of it that wasn't phenomenal, it was though, howling success. Wy accomplished our purposo most thoroughly.

If you want to learn the ins and outs of a man's nature and the metal he's made of. 1 commend you to get him to play ball buso ball. It's a gaoio that tries men's souls. I know it did those of tho committee. When we wound up ths season we knew one another like brothers, and with the exception of 11 possible slight sadness at having discovered so many kickers in fhiH world, we wore delighted.

Then we started a billiard tournament, which was quite successful, and gave an einnortunitv to visit one Another's rooms. Fol lowing this came tho great tournament, of which more anon. Base ball has started in again. So far, then, wo have met and commingled on many occasions, and the individual members have bcome acquainted, and if you nil appreciate anil value as highly as I elo the acquaintances thus formed, I am suro you have a warm Hide for tho union which helped you make them. Wo have likewise had Hie opportunity the workings of our sister societies and to compare thorn with our own.

If they excelled our emulation was aroused. If tho comparison is in our favor we appreciated all the more our own. We havo just started, however, what I hope and believe will prove to bo one of the greatest works of our union and one of its strongest bonelp. It affords me groat pleasure indeed to have this early opportunity to announce to you the flattering start and encouraging success of the diocesan employment bureau. Although not yet started two weeks I have been able to lind positions for two out of tho three mcml ers who put in applications.

I have secured a good position for boy am! I havo t'uree positions yet to fill. Isn't that practical work? Well, now 1 want 01140 help it on, and in order to do so you should understand it. In order to obt dn situitions we havo to depend upon Catholic employers and on you, principally on you. The cmiuiittee issued an appeal to the euiplovcrs and sent it to the press, many papers kindly publishing it, and also mailed copies direct to such employers as they knew. When positions are desired the applicant, procures a blank from the secretary of his society, all of whom have been supplied, fills it out and has his membership certified to by the proper officers mid mails the same totho superintendent.

Tho particulars, of the position desired arc then placeel on a list, eopies of which are prepared and sent out by tho superintendent us often as necessary to each society. Societies are requested to bulletin these Usts conspieuoHsIy. Now wo havo in our union societies probably near members. and these applications are thus brought to the kHowledge of that mnnv people. Among so many there is a fair chane that some one of you maj know of a place to suit tho applicant.

Now this is what we ask of yon keep your oyes on the bullotin and be 011 the lookout for positions. As soon'as ynu lenrn of anv, notify tho superintendent at once. We arc all ban led togethor for tho same puri ose. and I trust we are nil animated bv the spirit of that grand motto of the C. Y.

M. N. L. "God and Our Neighbor." Let us help one another. Let us make this bureau a success.

Various denominations have done it. Why not we? It is grand work. Let us remember, too, the eyes of the whole country are on us. This is the first bureau of the kind over started. If successful they will spring up in overy diocese.

It is too great an enterprise to fail. It must not fail am! it. will not fail if Brooklyn grit and determination count ior anythin. Because of our union we are here to nigh t.and the special occasionisthe presentation of a trophy. The address of acceptance was mado by Mr.

The constitution which was elraftud at the convention of North Carolina was called Hook's constitution by the Democratic clement of that state, of the important part which ho took in its adoption.

Ho put forth many strenuous efforts iii behalf of establishing schools for his race, for which reason hi' was made assistant superintendent for the state of North Carolina, wtiich position he tilled with credit for three years. It wns while he was in this positi.ui that Ctenoral 0. O. Howard appointed him assistkiit superintendent of the Frcediiian's bureau. On several occasions he has served as temporary chairman or as secret try of the stato conventions, and wiw electeel delegate to tlie national convention which nominated General Grant.

Tho district over whl he preside is known its tho 'irst, Episcopal district, which embraces tho New England. Now York and Virginia conferences.

A groat many people aro of the opinion that Tim Campbell is rich.

He is not; in fact, ho nas practically nothing except his salary as a congressman He is a peculiar character, has very good traits and is naturally adapted for politics, especially in tho location from which lie comes. He probably could not ba elected as a representative from St. Lawrenco comity to the stato senate, but if ho was he would undoubtedly secure a great many more favors for his constituents than tho man with ono cya who now represents that district. John Simpson has pretty decided opinions of his own about New! one city pontics and does not hesitate to express them. He said tome: "Tammany hall thinks wall of Whitnoy.jwho is as sharp as a briar and as keen as a pebbleo Some fine day soon Whitney will oorao down from a visit, to Gray Gables amf nay to Croker, Gilroy and company: 'Gentlemen, I comehor.

from Mr. Cleveland to say that in tho ovont of his election he will recognize Tammany hall as the only Democratie organization iu Sew York city and will enly' accept the recommendations of this organization from this end of tiro line, and I will further add that I will stand sponsor for what I Now, the leaders of Tammany hall will take Whltney'B word for all this. The kicking and cumns: thy got at Chicago has not only made them sore, but It has actually soared them, and it is my opinion that Croker, Gilroy and the rest of 'i'limctriiiy wilUwork just as hard to eloct Cleveland President as they would to elect Grant mayor, foe, if Cleveland loses, his defeat will bo laid at Tammany's door and will blast it forever r. a political organization." Men like Simpson, who for a scoro of years have played the game of politics around New York, east of tho Bowery, may not.be as elogant and refined 43 the statesmen of the Onion league club, but they have more political common senBO and are less given to charing rainbows. Way bacE in January, in one of my letter to the Eaolk, 1 had something to say about William F.

Hnrrity of Pennsylvania, secretary of tho commonwealth of that state, and I referred to tho fact that both Governor Patterson and Harrity studied law together in the office of Lewis Cas sidy. in Philadelphia. To those who knew flarrity and have followed with interest his remarkably brilii ant political carter the announcement that ho is to be made chairman of tho Democratic national committee will not be a surprise. For a long time he has been tho power behind the throne upon wbtch Governor Patterson sits. Together thoy represent tho young progressive Democrats of Pennsylvania, and for a long time Harrity has done tho political fine work of the Democratic committees and conventions of that state and kept the rank end filo in fighting condition.

It was wbilo studying law and politics in Jilr. Cjsaidy'u oCice that the friendship between Patterson and Harrity developed, and while the former hold a number of offices before he was elected to tho governorship for the first time, Harrity himself has been frequently before the. public, having been chairman of the Democratic city committee of Philadelphia, delegate to the Chicago convention nominated Cleveland, postmaster of tho oity orf Philadelphia, chairman of the stato convention, and was unanimously elected chairman of the Democratic state central committee in 1H00, which he declined. If the great work of managing tho Democratic campaign should devolve upon William F. Harrity it will find him fully eqnipped and fnlly qualified to do the work.

He i rosonreeful and strong, both physically and mentally; energetic, possessod of an indomitable will and a thorough knowledge of men. Indeed it seems to me that there is no one among tho Democratic leaders so well fitted as Harrity for this particular work. I said so in January, and I repeat it now. If be takes command of the Democratic forces thore will be 3 shaking up of dry bones the like of which has not been soon this many a day. and the Republicans will find that they will have their hands full.

Among the things that tbo prosent congress ha not attended to is tho work of. improving Lareh raont harbor. Just why this important work hae been overlooked until congress is about to adjourn is hard to say, but it looks now as if the yaohtsmen and others interested in it would have to wait until the next session of eongress in order to secure the appropriation necessary to continue tho work. In the river and harbor bill approved by congress September 10, 1800, 85,000 was appropriated for improvements in Larcbmont harbor. This has been expended in partially constructing breakwaters over submerged rocks.

In the prosent river and harbor bill no appropriation was mado to continue tho work, although it is the only improvement of the kind under way in the district which was not appropriated for. Tho members of the Iarchraont club and their friends believe that this wra an oversight, but they did not discover it until the river and harbor bill had been reported. An effort was then ade to get the appropriation through on the civil sundry appropriation bill, but those who had charge of the affair found that it was even too late for this, and so they were reluctantly obliged to glare up furthor efforts this year. At the next session of congress the matter will undoubtedly he taken hold of in good time and on abundant appropriation will bo mado for this important work. I mention this as on instanc showing how carefully special legislation of this sort has to bo watchod in Washington.

What has been done so far in Larchmont harbor has been simply to dump a few rocks on top of the snh. merged rocks, building them up to something over high water mark at ordinary tide, but scarcely coming to the surface of tho water at Kprinx tides, thus rendering the entrance to the harbor particularly unsafe on dark and stormy mts. The larchmont yacht club has been en itoavoriu' r'. maiu.ain ugiiis on tnis oreaKw.ater, but their lights would not amount to much in an oastern torru and a consequent sea. Thereforo is of the ntmost importance to navigation that he work should be continued.

The weather in Washington during the past weak has bus excesrively hot and trying, but a great ninny people are still in the city, and even after congress adjpurns tho usual activity that "always characterizes tha few months before a presidential campaign at tae capital will un doulHedir keep things going until tho first week i.i September, when the great encampment of the Army takes place hero. From that time 011 until the imugarstion Wasiiingion wili be livoiy enough for the most exacting. A man who has lived in this city many years gavo me a novel explanation in roga rd to th intense heat of tho weather hers daring the past few daj s. He said: "I have jnt rsturncl from Long Branch, mid there was a dense fos there when I left. I have noticed for years that, whenever thoro is a foggy atmosphere anywhere along the eastern coast, the weather here gets into that condition which Mr.

llontalini would describe as 'demnition I have not seen ii fail once in twenty years. Although the ca5jlt.1l is so fnr away from the seaboard, there are nevertheless, a number of pleasant summer resorts nisar at han 1 whtre, at a littlo cost, those who are obliged to remain in Washington all summer can got away from the heal and dust of the city. The breeze' that blows from the sonth is tho salvation of Washington in the summer, and those who must stay hero iluring tho hoatod term would do woil to boar this in mind, for a hotuei with a nocthern oxp jsurc wor.ld be found hardly habitable. There aro days during the summer when the thermometer in New York rnns up fully as high as it doc at the national capital, but it is the Jong continued heat here, lasting well into the fall, that is so debilitating to those not accustomed to a Southern climate." I see that Mr. John Chaniborlin of Washington arrived at Bnxsard's Bay last Wednesday evening and speut an hour or at Gray Gabies with Mr.

Cleveland. During the winter I wrote an account of Chamborlin's visit to Mr. Cliro lind at Likowrod. No ono in the country rejoiced more over tho success of the ex President at Chicago than John Chambcrlin. Ho has always been a great admirer of Mr.Cleveland, and says ho is one of tho few men who ever occupied the White House who can teli and appreciate a canvM back dnck and dish of diamond back terrapin.

He has often told me of tho great pleasure he always took in sendin? these delicacies to tho Whito House during tho administrations of Arthur and Cleveland, because ho was always sure that they would be appreciated. Charaberlin stands ready to bet .1 large sum of money thct Cleveland will be the next President of the Cnited States. Perhaps his personal regard for th man lias something to do with this, bat I am inclined believe that he i influenced more lNiis knowledge of tho political coudition of things in New York state. Certtir.ly there arc few men who have a better opportunity of knowing just what is going on among the politicians, and how tho people who are not politicians feel, than John Chambcrlin.

The trains over tho West end road that ran to Thirty ninth street ferry wore well filled Thursday and since then. The time will have to be shortened some, though, before the route is entirely successful. An hour from New York to Coney Island is pretty long. It is twenty minutes longer than that claimed by other roads running to WbSt Brighton. It is believed, though, that this schedule is only experimental.

The Bensonhurst club gave their first promenade concert of the season last Monday evening on the pier.

Ever sin 'o then McCalla and his friends have had it in for Lf'trriy, and when a time Secretary Tracy sent his name in to' the President for promotion to' tho rank of captain and judge advocate general of the navy the friends of Commander McCalfe turned loose against him. They wero able to exert considerable influence against Lieutenant Lemly. a nd in this way delayed his promotion. This, howevor. is all that they have been able to accomplish, and.

considering the tact that the sentence of Commander McCalla. has just been remitted by Secretary Tracy, it is tiitmght in official circles here that tho former's friends have been very indiscreet in opposing tho appointment of Lemly. knowing that it was particularly desired by the secretary. Captain John S. Loud of five Ninth cavalry, who is a osndidato for major and tho odice of assistant atljutant general of tho army, is bein' strongly pressed for place by members of the masonic fraternity.

He bus been a prominent mason for a great many yeara and siands high in the organization. His political backing is also of no mean character. Ho is a close personal friend of Secrotary hf War Elkins. and ha an excellent war record in a fighting regiment. Owing to the fact that congress will probably adjourn the last of this month, it is not at all likely that anything will be demo with the lineal promertion bills.

It is understood that Congressman Outhwaite of Ohio bus given up tho itlea of getting his measure through, and that ox Socrctary the father of the other bill, will have but littlo chance of having it considered this year. Tho limited time between now and adjournment will be fully occupied by tho consideration of important appropriation bills and other big measures, so that all legislation of a private or personal nature, as well as special legislation, like the lineal promotion bills, will be fnrcod to take a back seat until next session. As the passage of cither of those bills would be most unjust to many worthy army officers, their postponement until next year will not bo seriously regretted. The naval reserve of New York will, through tho valuable assistance of Assistant Secretary Soloy, make quite a showing in tho coming maneuvers of the whi te squadron. Tho old lino of bottle ship New Hampshire, which did duty at the training station at Newport as a receiving ship for apprentice boys for years, but of late has been stuck fast in the mud at New London, has been loaned to them by the navy department, and she will be used to give these would bo tars an idea of what it is to live on board a genuine man of war.

Lost summer the boys had a steamboat of the Stonington line to sleep and moss aboard while practicing with the sailors of Admiral Walker's squadron. But that was not nautical enough to suit Commander Miller, and after much efiort ho got the war ship. The New Hampshire is truly of the olden time. She is a huge, old fashioned sailing line of battle ship of 4,100 tons, of the same type as the Victory, Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar. The old "Vermont at the Brooklyn navy yard is also of this class, but the New Hampshire has her masts still standing, yards crossed and everything ready to practice New York's naval militia in the intricacies of old fashioned seamanship.

Her koel was laid at the Portsmouth (Now Hampshire) navy yad in the early 20s, but she was not launched until 1801, when she was sen't to Port Rayah S. and used during the war as a receiving and supbly vessel. Like Mary's littlo lamb she will follow the whito squadron about, being towed, of courso, which will be anything but a nice job and a mighty ox pensive one at that. The outlay, however, will have to be borne by the members of the reserve, who aro supposed to bo among the 400, and consequently wealthy. The old flagship, when in commission as a regHlar cruising vessel, was intended to carry 000 officers and men.

The naval reserve will have pJonty of room in which to sling their hammocks and stow their mess kits. The Boston reserve aro not as fortunate as their New Y'ork brothorn. for they must be contented with the old monitor Passaic, wliflso crowded and stuffy 'tween decks cannot compare with the ample space or the old New Hampshire. The delay In paRsing the anntuil naval appropriation bill by tho house of representatives will cause great inconvenience at the navy department, A similar case happened in 1870 when Mr. Randall was chairman of the house appropriation eommittee, when for several months officers of tho navy, if they needed money, hud to havo their pay The rate of discount ran from 4 to 7 per cent, and nearly the whole servico were compelled to go to the brokers.

The secretory of tho navy was obliged to issue a furlough order which affected tho whole service Admiral Porter olcne being exempted, he having made a personal' point with tho Frcsident. Pay. mcnt for the navy yard employes for the month may be delayed in consequence of this lapse, but no doubt in a few days tho bill will be passed. Tho house and senate cannot ogreo upon an a) propriat ion for battleships and an allowance of 850,000 for probable ex senses to bo incurred in the Columbian nnval ceremonies at New York next April W3P granted. The queer fact, that engineer officers in tho navy break down in rainy instances when they reach the forty five to fifty year limit, causing some comment.

Tho casualties by death and retirement among this class of officers is groiitcr than eny other in the naval service. Some attribute it to the hsrd study which nn engineer up for promotion to the highest graele, chief 0:17: necr, aro obliged to undergo pass their examinations. A recent candidate was before board of examining engineers twelve days. Th examination was of the strictest character no only practical but theoretical. Chemistry.

mathematics, ship construction, are the suhiVc ts. and when an examination is due the officer entitled to it is generally well advanced in tho forties. Cases of insanity ore quite numerous, and it would seem that a more modified cotir.se of examination would. tn general principles, be more beneficial. After much exercise of influence, social and otherwise, the' navy department has at last con cludeef.to give Commodore Gillis active duty.

Orelers were issued during the week assigning him as a mem'jer of the light house board, which gives him pleasant duty at Washington. Tho commodore was last in command of tho Brazil squaelron with the Richmond as his flag His flag ship captain and himself could not get ulom: together and many a lwt battle occurred he tween them. It culmiu in tlia rniii modoro tr.king tho command avav from his captain, but the latter appealed Te Washington and was restored to duty. Secretary Traey entirely disapproved of the way in whic.li Gillis had run things, Mi determined never to give him duty bat UnaHy rolentexl. Commodore Gillis has but a short time longer on tho autivo list.

His war record is creditable, and the service generally is glad that he is again employed. Hi case is only one of many that often occur in tho navy. For bickoriug and saying hard tilings of one another give me your military or naval man every time. A. li.

He is so aggressive that he has aot all those fellows in New York frightened. Why, look at the way that cartage contract was awarded in New Tork the other day. Foster was the most surprised man in Washington when he Deane, Hilliard, BigUn.

Wanamaker and Jacobs of county had scooped it in. To be sure, ha had turned tho whole matter over to the collector of the port of New York, baring xnr.da up his mind some time ago that he should assume the responsibility of making the award, but he did not think that men who hid openly antagonized Harrison at Minneapolis had influence enough to capture the prize. The success of these men is certainly the reward of treachery. It IooIlS to mo as if the Harrison men were going to drop their friends. George nillinrd oitheTwclfth district who will benefit by the contract, although he professed to be a Harrison man at Minneapolis, called down Commissioner of Navigation O'Brien af She West hotel duriug the oonvention, because he O'Brien, confidently asserted that Harrison wonlci nominated, Hilliard has also been most bitter in denouncing Secretary Tracy.

Jacobs, the Greene county rain, is a dummy for Low Payno. I do not understand h'ow it was tlm IJliinehart and the Brooklyn people were knocked out as badly as wore on the ccrtago contract, only I aupposo the people in Washington wanted to bring certain New Yorkers into lino and they tout this way of accomplishing Simpson believes that 3ourko Cockran will bo lhe next United States senator from Now York. avA that Frank Hiscoek has no chance coming back. As he picturesquely expressed it "There is about as much chance of Iliscock's return as senator as tliortr is of ahog Slying. a hog is a very unlikely bird." Neither Simpson nor.

for that jaattor, Tim Campbell himself, believes tliat TanmiiQy hall intends to nominate tho latter for fall. Tua, of will try to get.
