General Schenck's Departure fer
England not to be Delayed much
V.nuVar

WASHINGTON, December 20.-Gen-
eral Schenck having stated to some Of
his associates in Congress that he would
not take his seat in the House after
Thursday next, it is believed that his
departure for England will not be long
delayed He is now busy at the State
Department making himself familiar
with the past history Of the Ala bama
claims and other matters OF interest be-

will be sent to the Senate to-day or to-
morrow, and he will be promptly con-

The supcrnumernry List.
There will be about $50 supernume-
rary officers to 60 out, chiefly Captains
and First Lieutenants. Each will re-
ceive a years advance pay in cash,
amounting to from $500 to $500 with
which to begin civil life. General Han
cocks board for the purpose OF wedding
out dissolute and incompetent officers
has accomplished but little. 1t became
evident some weeks since that the lst
of January would come before the board
could make much progress in its labors
and as the officers ordered before 1t
have been put on the supernumerary
list and will necessarily 60 out at that
time, it has not been considered neces-
sary to report in many cases. The care
full action Of Secretary Belknapin max
ing transfers has been active and the
supernumerary list will however secure
the retention of the best officers. Those
to be mustered out with few excep'
tons will be officers who can be dis
posed OF without detriment to the ser
vice.
