LONDON, March 15.--In the House of
Commons this afternoon Home Secretary
Matthews was questioned with reference to
the actions of Mr.. Anderson, an official of
the home office, who permitted LeCaron,
the informer, to look over the whole of
the latter's past correspondence with the
home Office authorities prior to his appear
ing as a witness before the Parnell commits
sion, and to select such letters as he thought
would be of service to the Times. MIR.
Matthews said that at the time he knew
nothing of the course taken by Mr.. Ander-
SOD, and consequently had not given it his
sanction, but he now considered that Mr..
Anderson had acted properly. Sir William
Vernon Harcourt gave notice that he would
submit motion regarding Mr., Auderson's
conduct when the police vote is discussed
on Monday next.

said to be After Foreign Berth.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The Senate ad-
iourned over until Monday on its own ac-
count and not because President Harrison
suggested it. He was surprised when he
heard of it. The fact is the senators think
he is making his nominations too slowly.
They do not think it is quite worth while
for them to meet every day just to consider
from six to a dozen nominations. The
President thinks that is just what they
should do, and if they cannot do that they
might as we'll 60 home. He is sending in
nominations as rapidly as he can safely and
he does not propose to hasten. The ad
iournment of the Senate was great disap-
pointment to the office-seekers. Many of
Them have already gone home. Those who
remain generally need the stimulus of a
daily batch of nominations to keep up their
spirits.
POOR CONSOLATION.
AS they waited around the white house
and the departments, however, to-day, they
consoled themselves with the thought that
Mondays batch would be all the bigger for
the delay. Foreign missions were upper
most in to-day's gossip. John G. New, who
is expected to go to Austria in spite Of his
expressions of ignorance about it, Col Fred
Grant who expects to go to China in spite
of everybody else's ignorance about it,
and Gen. Longstreet, who would
like to go to Russia or Germany,
and whose Georgia friends called
at the white house to-day to say so were
the chief topics of the gossipers. Some
more foreign appointments are confidently
expected on Monday. Even the Pennsylva-
mans who have been supporting ex-Repre-
sentative Brumm have given up thee ex-
pectation of seeing him appointed Second
Assistant Postmaster General. and concede

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Encouraging
reports come to the navy department re-
specting tee torpedo boat now building at
the Herreshoff works in Rhode Island. The
inspectors say that the material used is of
high quality, and the work of good char
acter. Before March l most of the steel
skin was in place, only one course remain
ing to be riveted in the hull. The deck
plates are on as far as practicable, the quad
ruple expansion engines have been
set up in the shop, and the
contractors expect to complete the boat
by June l, which is the date fixed in the
contract. The boat is required to make
twenty-five knots an hour, and any de-
1iciency on this score will subject the con-
tractors to penalties, while for any excess
of speed above twenty-five knots, they will
receive bonus. If the new craft the first

fills the requirements, of which there is
little doubt, 1t will be the aeetest boat in

hold an outdoor meeting tomorrow.
Messrs. Barry, Wolcott and Davol of the
state board of arbitration arrived to-day

There are no crowds on tire street and the

might have united with them to-day and
recommended Gen. Longstreet for foreign

not said that he will give Gen. Longstreet a

probable that he will give Georgia the

full of getting the first, and Col. Wade
stays here, hopeful of getting the second.
There is no Georgia opposition apparently

stated, to Col Wade. Col Buck to-day
