Secretary Manning has instructed Clief
Clerk YoumausAo ci-fre strict compli-
ancc Of the rules OF the department relating
to the hour Of labor aud the interchange of
visitors among CLERKS. TO that end all the
doorkoepers have been instructed 70 report
to the chief clerk daily the names of all
clerks who arrive late In the morning, VINO
leave early in the afternoon. This went
into effect yesterday. The number Of tas1y
clerks reported was 285 aud the minority
were females. Some were only five minutes
late, but most we're half an hour behind
time. The Secretary has received a general
complaint that many Of the female clerks
pay no attention to the rules. They come
and 60 when IL suits them, and conduct
themselves generally ns they please. Thc
fact that many Of the females are tardy has
been demonstrated to the Secretary's dis
pleasure on several occasions OF late IL
happened In this way. Whenever the Sec
retary arrived at the building between and
10 o'clock he always found the elevator so
crowded with tardy clerks that he was COM
PEELED to walk upstairs himself. Chief Clerk
Youmans says he proposes to enforce the
rules and cause the dismissal Of clerks who
repeatedly violate them. Tho Secretary's
excuse for being late in the morning is that
he has to work late In the night.

THE ISLANDS OF THE PACIFIC.


Secretary Bayard and Foreign Min
listers at Washington. Comforting Rel
ative to an Important Diplomatic
Move.
BosToN, Nov. 13.--A special to the Ad-
vertiser from Washington says that an i'm
portaut diplomatic move to secure the neu-
trality OF the islands Of the Pacific, so far as
they are not now possessed by the conti-
mental powers, is on foot which contem-
plates a disregard of Spains claim Of
sovereignty over any of the islands
upon which she has not established
and maintained her colonies. Re-
garding this an opportune time, In view Of
the apprehensions caused last summer by
the Carolnes affair, the Hawaiian authori-
ties have lately directed the Hawaiian min
lister to this country to propose plan to the
United States, England, France, Holland,
Germany, and Spain for the settlement of this
question. The scheme, as outlined, has been
the subject OF several consultations between
Minister Carter and Secretary Bayard. The
latter heartily indorses it. Armed with
this Endorsement Minister Carter will sail
for Europe tomorrow on mission TO the
nations mentioned. He has laid the matter
before the ministers at Washington OF the
countries named, and In every case their
answers have been favorable.

Gen. w. II. Davis, until recently inspector
general of the army, in his annual report
suggests that some law or regulation be
made for the better protection from loss,
robbery, or accident OF certain assistants to
engineer officers, who frequently have In
their possession large sums Of money before
vouchers for the same can be rendered. The
report says IL is believed that Graham bread
supplied to the extent Of one-half the bread
ration would be beneficial to the health Of
the troops.
The Improvement In target practice with
small arms is highly commended. To at
tain the proficiency required IL seems advis-
able to assemble at some suitable post all
field batteries properly organized, for n
school of theoretical and practical instruc-
tion under the command OF competent ar
tlllery officers, where there are amplefaciities
for drill and practice firing. IL is suggested
that cavalry school be established, and
that the 119 military posts be concentrated
into much smaller number, with corre-
spending increase Of garrison. Attention is
called to the importance OF having trained
cooks. The character of the men enlisted
| In the army for year or two past has been
improving but further improvement is
needed. While much attention has been
| given to the physique, 1t is apparent that
| too much has been sacrificed to this quality

II is recommended to adopt more rigid
system in regard to recruiting; TO stop the
enlistment Of unsuitable men Of vicious
habits and stupid intellects and of desert
ers, and to mark every convicted deserter
| upon some uneXposed part of his body to
prevent him enlisting again. A new edition
Of army regulations is needed.

THE NIGHT LODGING HOUSE.
Robbery and Its Results-Prospects

Annual Report OF the Secretary-The
Robbery and Its Results-Prospects
for the Season.
Secretary Henry o. Noyes, of the night
lodging house, in his annual report TO the
commissioners, states that the institution
last winter supplied lodgings to 2,225 per-
sons and furnished meals to the same.
Several poor families were also supplied.
Since the house was organized, March 4,
1876, lodgings have been given to 33,S06
persons and 6S,000 meals have been fur
nisned. The present building was bought
year ago for $500, 81, 500 being paid in
cash. The commi ssioners are asked to re-
quest an appropriation from Congress Of
S3,C00 to pay the debt.
Mr. Noyes, in conversation with re-
porter for the REPUBLICAN, yesterday, stated
that the robbery at the night lodging
house had entailed loss of S7C0, If not more
The vandalism of the thieves surpassed
their boldness in removing the furniture and
stuff, In that they broke up the stoves,
ranges, and beds, ripped up the bed ticking,
tore out the lead slining to the bath tubs,
and demolished things that could not be

"The institution was getting along
nicely,n said Mr. Noyes, Notwithstanding
that big odds were being fought. Beds,
bedding, &C., had been bought, and all es-
sentials to the sleeping apartments had
been obtained. The managers had adopted
stringent rules governing admission to per-
sons. The result was that needy persons
were benefited
"The board" he added, "would try to fix
up the place as soon as possible and have ii

peals will be made to the public for chairs,
