Walsh's Change Of Base.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Counsel
for John A. Walsh to-day took the
usual steps to have his case dis
missed. The suit was began by the
latter some time since in the courts
of this district, against Thomas J.
Brady, Ex-Asslstant Post master
General. to recover money said to
have been loaned, to the amount Of
$3.50 Walsh, who has inssi, uted
similar suits in New York City, says
in a letter to his attorney here, Il
don't believe can get justice in the
city of Washington; [ am not willing
to try my action before jury of that
city. The United States have permit
ted me to be grossly libelled,
while serving as witness on it's
behalf, without furnishing affidavit
therefor, Notwithstanding 1 placed
in its possession proofs ETC.. which
fact is calculated te create prejudice
against me in my civ action against
Brady and Kellogg. I will examine
Brady and Kellogg on the
}hird of October next, having
Obtained an order from Judge
Donahue yesterday to that effect. I
got service on them both. Thomas,
one of Walsh's counsel. said to re-
porter to-day, that on account of the
result of the recent star route trial,
he had advised a dismissal Of the
suit. He did not think Wash
had been treated tairly by
the government, which had taken
no steps to defend him. One advan-
tage he had in transferring hls suit
tO New York State courts was in Sc
curing advantage of better legal ma
chinery. II witnesses were summon
ed there and refused to testify they
would be sent to Jail. Here nothing
could be done with them.

LONDON, Sept. 22.-Professor Nor
denskjo,d telegraphs the following
from Sxrabster to the associated press
agent at London: During my excur-
s,ons on inland ice, DR.. Natharst,
with the steamer Sofia, in charge OF
Captain Nelson, anchored on the 18th
of July in the bay near Cape York
rs deg. 5 min. north. DetOur was a.
com panied from Goodhaven by an Es-
uuimaux interpreter named Hans
Christine, who had met at Goodha-
ven = party of Is EsquiInaux from

nounce Kasleigh and another
member of the party which had ar
rived ut a point north of Smiths sound
were uead, and that the rest OF the
expedition had returned on sledges
to Littleton island. Unfortunately,
this information was not given TO
Dr. NatLarst until he returned to
Goodhaven. l myself examined

WashingtOn Notes.

WILMINGTON, Sept. 22.-The 2lst
infantry, stationed at Vancouver
barracks, will remain there, and not
exchange posts with the 10th infan-
try stationed on the lakes. The ex-
pense of the transfer is too great to
justify the proposed change.
Lieut.. Col. A. w. Evans was to-
day placed upon the retired list of the
army, having been found b, the re-
firing board incapaciated for active
service. This retirement fills the
last vacancy which existed in the 400
retired list.
Secretary Chandler will await the
return Of the president before coming
to any conclusion as to whom he will
aproint to the position of chief en-
glneer of bureau of steam engineering
and comnlandaht at Mare Island
navy yard. At one time the Secre
tary had determined to designate
Commodore Dekrafft for the latter
vacancy. Commodore Dekrafft Sc
riou.ly objected to being sent to San
Francisco. 1t is now thought that
his wishes in this matter will be re-
spected, and that he will be allowed
to continue as president Of the board
