MAPPED OUT.
The Facts About Higgins

WASHINGTON, March 20.-A misapprehen-
sion appears to exist in regard to the office
of the chief Of the appointment division of
the treasury department. The present in
cumbent of the Office, Mr.. Trevitt, rendered
bis resignation about two weeks ago
and it was accepted by Secretary
Manning, to take effect April l,
and Trevitt was granted leave of absence
until that date. In the meantime Eugene
Higgins OF Baltimore was given the position
on the "fraud roll'' Of the special agents di-
vision, and assigned to duty as acting chief
of the appointment division, aud was prom
ised the office as soon as Treytt's resigna-
ton shall have taken effect.
A question has arisen which may prevent
Higgins from receiving the appointment to
the office for which be has been selected.
If Higgins is permanently appointed with
out examination to the office for which he
has been selected it is claimed that it will
be in violation of the civil service law, but
vet in perfect accord with the rules as pub
lished by the civil service commission. 1t is
understood that the N after has been brought
to the attention Of President Cleveland, aud
he expressed himself as desirous of carrying
out to the letter the civil service act without
regard to special rules. II this is done,
Treviit's place as chief of the appointment
division cannot be filed by arbitrary sp-
pOintment.

Gen. Grant Better.

New YORK, March 20.--When DR.. Doug
las arrived at his Office after his visit to
Gen. Grant tonight he made this statement: {:
''The general had very good day, and a
quiet day, so far as i,ain and his condition
are concerned. Indeed, he remarked, he was
free of pain. The general, during
the evening and afternoon, did
considerable new work on his book. He
was very comfortable tonight and I left
him, as / supposed, asleep. His pulse and
mperature were about the same. His stom
ach and system generally are in good condi-
ton, except be imps from the effect of his fall.

Real Estate in Washington.

Speclal 10 the GiOpe.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-The real estate
owners and dealers, everybody in fact who
has the interest of Washington at heart, are
gratiied to know that the fears of the eff
fects of a change of administration
upon the growth of Washington
are not to be realized. There was general
apprehension that the advent of Cleveland
would be signalized by the exodus of thou
sands Of citizens, and that there would be
compulsory sales of hundreds of homes, ere
ating serious depre ssion in real estate as
well as in all other departments OF business.
But instead of downward tend
ency, real estate is steadily stiffenibg. Capi :
talists from various sections are desirous of
making investments here and next season
will witness the erection of many beautiful
residences which are to be the homes of
those who have retired from business and
intend to spend the afternoon and evening
of life in the most attractive city on the con-
tinent. Besides these splendid homes for
the rich, We are assured that new impetus
is to be given to the equally important
work of providing houses for that
numerous class who earn their bread by daily
labor. 1t is declared the purpose of num-
Der of capitalists to make specially of this
department of the building industry. In
other cities there has been benefcent move
in this direction and all classes of society
have been benefited by the change.

A Hard Working Secretary.
Washington Cor. New York World.

Washington Cor. New York World.
Mr.. Whitney is going at the navy depart
ment with great deal of directness and
energy. He stands up to his work. He has
had put in two small elevated desks on d
level with his breast so that he can stand as
he writes. He has created a sort of panic
among the clerks by asking many questions
about the business Of the department. When
bills are brought in he actually scans the
items, and upon one or two occasions has
fairly paralyzed the clerks by making sug-
gestions where economy could be properly
exercised. The clerks are so used TO per-
functory auditing of bills and routine indorse-
ment of business that they are not very
ready sometimes with answers to Mr.. Whit
neys very pertinent inquiries. Some of
them, spurred by the stimulus of his watch
fulness, are beginning themselves to study
the business which passes through their
hands SO that they may be better able to an
'swer questions in their interviews with the
secretary. Mr.. Whitney is one OF the presi-
dents best workers. He is at the depart
ment promptly at and remains there until
5, and spends his entire evening reading
upon matters relating to the department. All
the new cabinet officers must work overtime
in order to comprehend the work they have
in hand, and at the same time keep away
from the pressure of routine work which
must be attended to every day.

No Change at Springfield.

SPRINGFIELD, March Ex-senator Bridges,
Democratic member of the state senate, who
suffered from a stroke of paralysis about
month ago, and whose condition has ever
since been very critical, died at his home
near Carrollton this morning. This happen
ing following the death of Representative
Logan three weeks ago leaves the Illinois
legislature once more tie on joint ballot.
The house and senate both adjourned this
morning when the announcement of his
death was made.
Despite the announcement of the death of
Senator Bridges, the Democrats decided to
proceed to ballot for senator. On the joint
ballot 101 Democrats responded to the roll
call. The ballotng proceeded uneventfully
until the fifth ballot. when Morrison's
strength began to disappear. On the sew
enth ballot the vote stood Morrison SO, Ward
2, Lawler 2, Palmer, Harrison, Curran,
Downs, Merritt, Black and Stevenson one
each. Neither Hereby nor Cantwell voted.

Inauguration Expenses.
special to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, March 20.-The committee
in charge of the Inauguration is pretty
nearly ready to close up its work. There is
an Indebtedness of about SS 600 to be wiped
out before the settlement will be completed.
AS bills are allowed the expense column
rises, and it is thought that when
the last account has been paid it will
be found that the expenditure by the
committee in connection with the ceremon-
les will exceed $4,000. What the in
come from the ball will be cannot yet be
stated, as all of the places where tickets were
placed on sale have not sent in their re-
turns, but it is expected that before the
week ends the ticket committee will make
its final report. The temporary board roof
over the new pension building is down, the
heavy trusses disjointed and the lumber is
being piled preparatory to public sale, as
also the iron used to make them secure
when they were in position.

HOW MALIBRAN DRANK PORTER.
The Manner in Which the Great Singer Found

Music and Drama.
Apropos of DR.. Lenuox Brownies recent
lecture on singers and stimulants, the fol-
lowing story of Malibran is interesting: On
the occasion of the first performance of the
''Maid of Artois," Malibran played the first
two acts in such food Of triumph that she
determined, by almost superhuman effort, to
continue its glory to the final fall of the cur
tain Il went,' says Bum, ''into her
dressing-room previous to the commence
ment of the third act to ask how she felt, and
she replied, very tired; but'-and her eve
suddenly lighted up-'you angry devil, if you
will contrive to get me pint of porter into

other performer, should perhaps have hest

moment: but 20 check Mslibran's powers was

II therefore arranged that behind the pill
lar Of drifted sand on which she falls in a
state of exhaustion towards the close of the
desert scene, q small aperture should be
made in the stage. Through that aperture 8
pewter plat of porter was conveyed to the
parched lips Of this rare child of song, which

and had strength to repeat the charm with

Mrs. Logan as q Persuader.

Wash Letter in Louisville Courier-Journal.
Senator Beck says emphatically that he In
dorses the opinion Of the man who said the
best thought Of the lords Prayer was "Lead
us not into temptation" and, therefore, when
he (being a member of the senate appropria-
ton com mittee) received at the capitol the
card Of the wife OF Senator Logan, and knew
that she came 10 argue him into advocating
an appropriation for the Garfield hospital, he
sent word to her that be could not see her.
This did not discourage the lady, who has had
years of experience in coaxipg men to
change their minds in regard to legislation
and nomin atiens, so she again sent her card
to the man who thought 10 evade An inter-
view. The would-be obdurate senator sent
back the same message, only to receive the
reply that the lady said sue would see him,
and would keep her seat until he came out
The kindly nature Of the Kentucky senator
as well as his gallantry appealed to him aud
forbade him TO keep her on guard too long,
and he gracefully submitted TO theineyitable.
He tried TO speak gruffiy as he remarked
when he met her, II sent word that would

know you did, and hope that you received
nv message that would remain until / did
see you, Forthwith she proceeded to state
her errsnd and in the most captivating
manner urged the need Of such a
hospital as the one she was now advocating,
and that it was especially adapted TO Wash
ington; that It would fail If not assisted by
congress. She convinced the senator, in
spite of his better judgment, and not only
that, but be adds in telling the story that hrs.
Logan never lobbies, and only uses legitimate
means when she wants something she has set
heart upon. Mrs. Logan wrote down the
sum wanted, and Senator Beck put II tsrough

HAZEN'S DEFENSE ENDED.
The Court Martial in Secret Session Con.
sidering the Charges.

The Court Martial in Secret Session Con-
sidering the Charges.
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Judge Mackey
to-day concluded very able argument on
behalf of Gen. Hazen before the general
court martial. He said that the return
by the secretary of war by Gen. Hazen of the
letter written by the latter was the most
gracious act; an act that should have awak-
ened only gratitude in the breast of the chief
signal officer. 1t was SO felt but the sense
of gratitude that was felt was marred by the
knowledge that the reply of the latter appears
to have been kept. The secretary in this
kept the word Of promise to
his ear but broke it to the hope.
This was not an open blow of the Saxon, but
a stiletto stroke of the Italian. Judge
Mackey called attention to the fact that the
accused is on trial before a court with un-
challenged membership. He said that the
accused in thus expressing his confidence In
the members Of the court has stated his con-
vction that in this case the stream will rise
above its source. The accused, he said, is
aware that while the court was authorized by
the president of the United States the order
detailing it was from the secretary of war.
The accuser drew the charge, selected the
officers to try it and appointed the prosecut-
ing officer. In closing, Judge Mackey said:
''The accused awaits your judgment with
confidence. He feels he is locked up in the
armor of triple steel against this assault
He feels that this partisan shaft will be shat
tered on the bright shield of his soldierly
record, but if your judgment be against him
yor In 1ct scar broader and deeper than
those he now bears on his body, received
in his honorable services in his country's
war;" The judge advocate in summing up
simply reviewed the charges and specifca-
tions, and evidence, he considered, had
been adduced to sustain them, and at the
conclusion of his remarks the court went
into secret session to consider the case.
