EAST WASHINGTON.

Boatswain Hawkins left the Navy-Yard
this morning with ten sailors for the frigate
Brooklyn at the Brooklyn Nayy-Yard.
Three arrests We're made in East Wash
ington yesterday. Two for violation of the
building regulations and one for assault
and battery.
All of the wharves and ship-houses at the
Nayy-Yard were under water this morning
in consequence of the heavy rains last
night.
Pennsylvania avenue, east of the Capitol,
is again showing signs of renewed life and
business is rapidly picking up. The conse-
Quence is, that most business men are look
ing more hopeful than month or two ago,
The only business men who have done any
thing are the carpenters and builders, who
did a rushing business all summer The
outlook for lively fall and winter is good.

Cancer Of the Tongue.

A Case Resembling That of Gen. Grant.
Some ten years ago had a scrofulous sore
on my right hand which gave me great trouble,
and under the old-time treatment healed up,
but II had only been driven into the system by
the use of potash and mercury, and in March,
1882, 1t broke out In my throat, and concen-
trated in what some of the doctors called can
Ger, eating through my cheek destroying the
roof of my mouth and upper lip then attacked
my tongue, palate and lower lip destroying
the palate and under lip entirely and half my
tongue, eating out to the top of my left cheek
bone and up to the left eye. | could not eat
any solid food, but subssted on liquids, and
my tongue was so far gone | could not talk.
Such was my wretched helpless condition the
first of last October uSSD, when my friends
commenced giving me Swift's Specific. In less
than month the eating places stopped and
healing commenced, and the fearful aperture
I'm my check has been closed and firmly knit
ted together. A process of IA new under lip Is
progressing finely, and the tongue, which was
almost destroyed is being recovered, and IL
seems that nature Is supplying new tongue
can talk so that my friends can readily UNI
derstand me, and can also eat solid food
again. II any doubt these facts | would refer

Where did IL come from p "rhc

replied the employe, smiling, "but the
Senators would not wait for that; they
just selected it as their own, put their
names on it, and sent it here to be kept
until they ordered ii delivered at their

as far back as can remember it was
customary. You see things which be
long to the Government don't belong to
anybody around here if it can be car

and employees carry away furniture,
but many other things. Each Senator
is allowed so much extra money above

and put it in their pockets, and take all
the stationery they want from commit

a correspondent of the Jersey City
1lguS, who attended one of the Presi.
dents receptions not long ago, writes
as follows; The last person to shake
hands with the President was a we'll
dressed and rather stout lady, accom-
panied by a younger one clad in II full
suit of purple velvet. The former was
the mother of the young woman. a
trio of diamonds glistened in each of
her earrings, while cluster shone like
an electric light from her bosom. The
mother and daughter hung on the out
skirts of the throng until the last per-
son had disappeared through the west
doorway. They then marched up to
the President after the fashion of Il
pompous drum-major, and entered into
an animated conversation with him.
"That large woman with the dia.
monds, said Sergeant Dinsmore, lis
persistent oflice-seeller. She has
been here every public reception day
for month past. Her husband wants
to be collector of customs in Western
city, and she is working his case for
him She has long since become Il
bore" AT this instant the President
turned from the two females, and as
they turned to go he faced about AMI
said in Il rather sharp tone of voice.
Madam, you need not annoy me fur
thcr about your husband. The ap,
pointment he is after has been finally
settled and no change will be made ]"
With this remark he left the room and
the reception ended.

Says Mac" of the Philadelphia
Record; do not like spoilsmcn, but |
believe in giving even the spokesman
his due. Higgins, the politician, may
be all the wicked things he is said to
be, but Higgins, the appointment clerk,
is a model official. This is simply just.
The office of appointment clerk in q
great department like that of the Treas
ury is n most responsible one. Under
former administrations, particularly
under that Of Secretary Folger, the APP
pointment clerk of the Treasury was
practically the appointing power, but
such is not the case now. The APP
pointment clerk no longer appoints.
Nevertheless his Office is still very
important one All applications for
Treasury offices are filed therc all
charges against incumbents go there;
all the papers in every case of removal or
appointment originate there. Every let
ter on the subject of the offices which
goes out of the Treasury Department
bears, whatever other signature may be
on it, the mystic initials "E ii" These
letters do not stand, as some grim
spoilsmen think, for Every Head,
even if they are in blood -colored ink,
but for Eugene Higgins, and they
show that the letters were originally
drafted in his Office Every day the Sec
rotary summons the appointment clerk
to his office. Some days hesummons him
dozen times. At these conferences
the Secretary tells off the Appointment
Clerk the gentlemen who are to be be-
headed. Thereupon the Lord High
ENccutiOner of the Treasury draws his
snickcrsnec and makes short work of
them. Then the names of the lucky
successors must be placed in commits
sions and the other blanks in those
documents filed up. In the Office of
the Appointment Clerk, too, are the
records and the recommendations of all
the employees Of the Department, small
and great, since ii was Il Department.
You can see even from this hasty sum
mary that this must be large aud
busy office. When Secretary Manning
was asked how he came to appoint
| Higgins he said: senator German
recommended him highly; that Justified
his appointment His official work
will come under my immediate super
vision; If it is not well done ! will re-
move him" The fact that he has not
been removed, in spite of the pressure
TO that end, is the greatest compliment
he has ever received.

NEW YORK, November ga report
was published yesterday that warrants
were out for Major Grace and others,
and accusing them of completely in the
frauds OF Ward and Fish. United States
Attorney Dorsheimcr says the story is a
fabrication and absolutely false. There
are no indictments and none could be
found before Thursday, as the United
States Grand Jury is not in session
until that day. Warrants need not
wait for the indictment, but SO far as
know, and so far as the proceedings in
the United States courts are concerned,
there are no warrants now out. OF
c. urse, / can say nothing as to what
warrants will be issued or against what
persons: as to Mayor Grace. no evidence
has been offered to me to connect him
in any criminal way with the proceed
ings of Ward or to show him guilty of
anything that might compel me to pro-
ceed against him.

LONDON. November 3.-Stead. editor
of the FaU Nall Gazette, continued his
testimony on the opening of the
central criminal court to day. He de-
clined giving the names of persons
alleged to be guilty of the infamy
charged in the Gazette statements, on
the ground that he had promised his in
fOrmantS to observe secrecy in that
respect. He stated that he had gained
his information by drinking champagne
and spending money in brOthels. Stead
then offered to call the witness, but
Justice Lopes declined. His Honor
likewise declined the evidence of the
Archbishop of Canterbury.
Howard Vincent, a well-knOwn news
paper correspondent, who reorganized
the detective system of the metropoli-
tan police, with the designation of dlrec-
tor Of criminal Investigations, and Lord
Dalhousie testified to the magnitude of
the infamous traffic in young girls for
immoral purposes on the continent.
Stead admitted that he might have
been muddled somewhat, as to the state
ment of Mrs. Jarrett. The Attorney
General tWitted Stead over his alleged
simplicity, and said that Eliza had been
taken distance of 500 miles in a single
night by man who was her only com
panion Stead said he had entrusted
the details of the affair to Bramwell
Booth. The defense closed their side oil
the case this AFTERNOON. Justice Lopes
directed the jury to return verdict Of
mot guilty" as to one of the defend
ants, Elizabeth CoOmbe. of the Saliva
ton Army, who testified that she acted
entirely under directions of Branwel
Booth.

WASHINGTON, November 3.-The Sec.
rotary of the interior has confirmed the
action OF the commissioner of the land
Office in restoring to the public domain
a tract of land in southern California,
at the intersection of the Texas Pacific
and Southern Pacific railroad grants.
The Secretary, in his decision, holds
that the Southern Pacific grant includes
only such lands as were not covered by
other railroad grants, and therefore
could not include the tract in question,
which formed part of the fortified Texas
Pacific grant. The case has come up
to the Secretary on appeal by the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
from the commissioner decision.
