WASHINGTON, D. @, February 5.-Gui-
teau has passed a very quiet day and seems
little disturbed over the fact that his days
are numbered. He looks forward with
hope to the action Of the court in banc,
but Is well known fact hero that he has
nothing to hope from the general term.
Mr.. scovillc left tonight for New York,
and will proceed thence to Chicago, where
he will remain for some days. He says he
will return here in time to file his bill of
exceptions and get it before the general
term by March 4.
1t was stated last night by a friend Of
Mr.. scoville that he was greatly disappoint-
ed in not getting commission to take tes-
timony in regard to the newspaper alleged
to have been found in the quarters Of the
jury atthe National Hotel. In this connec-
ton he expected to gather some rather in
teresting facts in regard to the affidavit Of
bailif Curtis; that in addition to the ale.
CATION that Curtis was not in charge Of the
the jury at the time when the newspaper
was found, it was alleged that the officer
whose duty it was to have been in the bai-
lifts room at night and to remain in charge
of the jury during the evening was
busilyengaged for many evenings in prose-
cutting amost romantic G6aire de Ceur with
one Of the female employees Of the hotel,
who has since been discharged, and that

Meeting OF the BOard-NO Changes In the
Rules.
Special Dispatch to the lntellgencer
WASHINGTON, D. O., February 5.-The
National Board OF Supervising inspectors
which has been in session for u month
past will conclude its business tomorrow
by hearing and passing upon the report of
a special committee appointed to consider
a number Of amendments to the rules gov
erning the inspection service. This COM
mittee, which consists Of inspectors
Fehrenbatch, of Cincinnati, Carr, of Lou
isville, and Flower, Of St. Paul, has con-
sidered some forty amendments to the
eighty rules governing the service, but its
report will not be made public until pre-
sented to the Board. There arc, however,
no amendments of any consequence pro-
posed.
The most important rule on which there
has been n difference of opinion is
that calling for daily reports from Inspec-
tons, having been made in an order from
the Secretary Of the Treasury, and not be-
ing subject TO the action Of the Board.
There was discussion Of this question at
one Of the meetings Of the Board, and the
sentiment according to the statement ofone
Of the members, Mr.. .Fahrenbach, was unan-
amously against the rule, but for the reason
stated no action will-be taken to abolish OR
modify it. Mr.. Fehrenbatsh says, however,
that the Board may recommend its repeal
by the Secretary. Mr.. Dumont, the Super.
vising Inspector General, said tonight that
there was no question Of the majority oi
the Board being opposed to the rule be.
cause 1t was irksome to them, but that. it
would not be abolished.
Mr.. Dumont feels an interest in it from
the fact that he influenced the order Of the
Secretary establishing it. The Board will
make no changes in the pilot rules, as they
are considered as nearly perfect as they
can be made. There was an effort made
to modify the rule relating to the signaling
blowed by passing steamers, which would
permit Of the ascending steamer blowing

WASHINGTON, February 4.-Nearly one
hundred navy officers made application.
by letter or telegraph or by the help of in
tluential friends, to the Secretary Of the
Navy to be ordered to go in search Of De
Long and the missing boats Of the jean

Many applicants are officers on easy duty

the rescue of the Jeannette's crew is high
ly creditable TO the spirit of the navy.
The Secretary of the Navy received the
following cable dispatch from James Cor
don Bennett who is in Paris:
Permit me TO suggest, in reference to
the request Of Lieutenant Danenhower to
60 back and continue the search, that in
view OF his condition he should be ordered

could have the best medical attention and
perhaps regain the use Of both his eyes.

Mr.. GILRAD, February At appears
from reports that Henry Davis, who is

Henry's charms some time since, and
Henry, having no desire to arouse the ami
mostly Of Gordon, concluded to settle the
matter in business-like manner, so ap-
preaching the gentleman he proposed 10
buy his interest in the lady. Gordon con-
sented, and for S. 80 and q jack.knife the
right and title in Nrs. G. was conveyed to

disguised with tho manner in which they
conducted themselves, and put stop to L
by threats, and Henry was out his money
