HOUSE Of Representatiyes.

WASHINGTON, September 23,-A dozen
men were at work yesterday in the House
of Representatives rearrsnging the seats for
members and endeavoring so to pack them
together as to seat the increased number in
the Forty.eighth Congress in about the
same space as that occupied by the Forty
seventh. As the 293 members IN the last
House were rather uncomfortably crowd
ed when all we're present, the difficulty
of seating 325, or thirty.two more, is not a
small one TO overcome. The elevated
platforms on which the desks are placed
have been extended by removing q screen
across the south side of the room. The
four long sisles on each side have been re-
duced to two, and all the short or blind"
aisles by which members we're enabled to
reach seats in the center from the rear,
nave been filled up by desks. To the old
members the crowding of desks aud chairs
will prove decidedly objectionsl, and il
seems inevitable that the new mem oers,
who will have to learn how TO get in and
cut Of their places will be in danger
of having their toes stepped upon in more

quainted with Miss Annie sterner, young

A few nights ago Miss Sterner had q

that she was cured. When she awoke in the

surprise. walked across the floor, and was
able to 90 up and down stairs without her
erutches. This afternoon she went down

health and having the free use OF her
limbs. The case has attracted the atten.

WASHINGTON, September 23.-An epidem.
ic OF law w-breaking and dishonesty appears
to have broken out and spread among
officers of the army and navy until it has
assumed alarming proportions. 1t has
even affected the lads in the military and
naval academies, where honor and obsdi-
ence to law are among the chief things
taught. Within a week three cadets
have been dismissed from West Point for
conduct unbecomiDg cadets and gentlemen,
and half dozen cadets have been dismissed
from the Naval Acadamy for law.breaking.
Secretary Chandler has now in his hands,
awaiting action by the President, the cases
OF two officers sentenced TO dismissal. One
is commodore, who assigned his pay ac'
counts for the same period to different per-
sons, The other is a lieutenant
Convicted Of Drunkenness.
The Judge Advocate General has the
court martial papers in the cases OF Capt.
Hubbard and Lieut.. Robinson, the latter
sentenced to dismissal for duplicating his
pay accounts. Mai. Wasson has hardly be-
come accustomed TO his striped uniform,
furnished him at the Leayenworth military
prison in lieu of the officers uniform
which he disgraced. Detectives are hunt
ing for Lieut. Porter, who stole about s., 900
of Government money recently and fled.
To crown all, the Secretary OF War will
soon be called upon to approve or dlsap'
prove the sentence OF court martial IN
the case OF chaplain, who is accused OF
signing and issuing duplicate pay accounts.
