Indian Inspector Pollock had an inter
view with Secretary Teller this morning
on his recent suspension The whole mat
ter was talked over, ane Pollock leSt favor
ably impressed with she onversation OF
his superior. Secretary Teller said no
conclusion had been arrived at, and that
n further interview will be held or the sub

In the Jeaunette court this morning En-
pineer Melville continued his account of
the search for De- Long and party. The
narrative WIS very pathetic, and the speak
er told the story in straightforward man
ner He gave details of the discovery OF
the party frozen to Death on the bank of
the Lena. A large audience was present.
The attention of the searchers was first at
tracted by hut peles sticking out OF the
snow. Upon seeing these the party ad-
vanced gew steps, when they saw hand
reaching out of the snow, which proved to
be De Longs. The rest of the party were
then discovered with the remains of fire
near them, and evidences that the I'M
fortunate men were trying to remove
their effects with the supposed view OF
reaching the bank of the river. The bod
les would be carried away by the floods.
Melville examined De Long, journal found
near where his body lay. The bodies were
all frozen to the ground, but as soon as
discovered were pried up, rolled together
and covered with a tent cloth. 1t was
found when Ambler's body was turned over
that he clutched De Longs pistol. From
this Melville drew the inference that De-
Long died before Amber, and that the
latter had taken the pistol to keep off ami
mails. Melville gave directions to have the
body taken out of the snow and placed in
hut near by. He also directed those re-
moving the bodies to be very careful to
preserve any articles found on the persons.
1t was reported yesterday that Secretary
Chandler, in his annual report, will recon-
mend that the life saving marine and coast
survey, three important bureaus of the
treasury department, be transferred to the
control of the navy department. 1t is
thought here that should Chandler make
the attempt and succeed, that he will fol-
low it up next year by asking for the
transfer of the Marine hospital service,
another branch of the treasury. Chandler,
when asked about the matter to-day, while
not contradicting the truth of the story,
declined to disclose this or any of the
recommendations likely to be incorporated
in his report. Inquiry made at the treas
ury department, however, tends to confirm
the correctness of the report, 80 far, at
least, as refers to the revenue of the marine
bureaus.
In the court of Alabama claims to-day,
Mr.. Manning addressed the court on the
difficulty of obtaining access to the books
of insurance companies which had gone
into bankruptcy, or had passed into the
hands of receivers, so as to obtain proof of
the amount of war premium paid. The
court asked him to formulate in writing
what action he desired the court to take.
Mr.. Sanders addressed the court in sup
port of the proposition that person who
actually paid war premium, whether he so
paid it as ships, husband, or master or agent,
was the person previously entitled to sue
and recover before the war court on behalf
of all concerned. Creswen replied on be-
half of the court. Adjourned.
The cabinet meeting to-day was quite
brief and unimportant. The only discus
sion was relative to the contents of the
annual reports, the principal topic being
in regard to internal revenue. It is as
serted by persons in position to know,
that Commissioner Raum will recommend
large reduction in internal revenue, and
that his recommendations will be Endorsed
by Secretary Folger and President Arthur
respectively. The cabinet officers, of course
are not inclined to talk about the matter
or to indicate the purport of the discussion
at the meeting to-day.
The president has pardoned Robert Lo-
gan, convicted in November, 1881, of mail

trict attorney and the officers who made

Assistant Attorney General Truman TO,
the postofice department is preparing an
elaborate report on southern marriage
associations and kindred societies, which
will be submitted to Postmaster General
Howe tomorrow. It is understood that
the report takes strong grounds against
the legality of such concerns.
Representative Kelly said this morning
that he was going home; that there will be
nothing further done by the committee on
ways and means until the meeting OF
congress.

number of communications from bankers
