The Star Route Trials - Further Arsu-
 ments for the Dsfense-A Scene at the
 Treasury Department-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 15.-Mr. Carpenter con- tinued his argument for the defense in the Star route trial to day. He explained brief ly the meaning of the term sexpedition'' as applied to the Star routes, declaring that the law provided that when @ route was expe- dited, and the number of men and animals increased, the pay shall be pro rata under the contract and he asserted that it was disingen- uous on the part of the counsel for the pros ecution to pretend that the government should have put on the expedition at lower rate. It was insisted that there had been great extravagance in regard to the expedi- ton of routes. The defence had offered to prove that there had been no extravagance' but the prosecution had objected and the court had sustained the objection. MT. Car penter then proceeded to take up in detail the routes in regard to which fraud is charged, asserting the importance of the ex.
 pedited service and attempting to prove that importance by reference to the geograph- I ical position and geological formation of the | territory to which the service was to be per- l formed.
 The President is not expected to return be- fore the middle of September.

 LONDON, Aug 15.-This morning it is learned that the war office has ordered 30, 900 additional troops to be got ready to proceed to Egypt immediately to take the place of the sick and wounded. This is regarded in some quarters an indication of heavier losses in the various engagements than has been here- tofore supposed. It is asserted in some official quarters that there is renewed activi ty and feeling of concern prevailing at the war office to-day. It is hinted that General Sir Garnet Wolse1ey, immedi- ately upon landing in Alexandria, proceeded without delay to acquaint himself with the condition of affairs, and that brief investi gation convinced him that the British force in Egypt had in their various engagements with Arabi's forces sustained losses more se- rious than have been imagined, and that he at once pointed out to the war office the in- adequacy of the present force of troops ow- ing to the weakening of their ranks by sick ness and disabilities to an extent hitherto un- known,

Senator Hoar in Defense of His Vote.
 BOSTON, Aug 15.-Senator Hoar's defense of his and the Massachusetts members vote for the river and harbor bill will occupy two columns of the morning papers. He starts with the assertion that if they erred it was with the sincerest desire to do right and without the smallest motive to do wrong He deducts from the total appropriation the $6,o16, 900 for the Mississippi river, Potomac flats and future surveys against which there is no objection anywhere, leaving $12, 772 s75 for discussion. Of this he shows that only B 1,3O1,475 is for work not previously begun and of this last amount he indicates items amounting to $889,0 900, which he says can be seen at a glance are of national importance, leaving only $4, Al, ,475 for streams and harbors of less familiar names, and he shows with scrupulous care how the rights of each one of these to be admitted was tested He then shows that the appropriation is not large compared with Frances nineteen mil lions annually appropriated, England's if teen millions in 1871, and the vast extent of ] our river and coast lines in comparison with those countries, well as our immense in ternal resources and the demand for cheap transportation.
