More Cruelty ON shipboard.

PHILADELPHIA, April 20.-Unitsd States
Deputy Marshals have been hunting since
Monday night for Captain Somewell, First
Mate Ryan and Second Mate Robins of the
ship Solitaire, which arrived from Dunkirk
Monday, after sixty-four days' voyage.
The officers are armed with warrants for
the arrest OF the three men, charging them
with cruelty such as has seldom been re-
ported on shipboard in recent years. The
story as told BY sailors to the United States
Commissioner, includes the murder OF one
seaman. who was knocked from the fore up
per sailyard, by the second mate, to the
dock, killing him Instantly, and the injury
of others by frightful beatings and con-
tlnued brutality and overwork during the
whole voyage. On the way up the river the
captain sent the first and second mates
ashore near League Island, not daring to
bring them to the city for fear OF arrest.
He brought the vessel to the city himself
and then disappeared.

siderable interest to citizens OF San Fran.
cisco. Act OF Congress Of March 3, 1887,
directs the appointment OF three commits
sioners to select and purchase a site for a
public building in San Francisco at q
cost not to exceed $3.50, 900. The
same act appropriated the amount
necessary to carry out it's pro-
visions, subsequently providing that il
suitable property could not be got
within the limit fixed by congress, that
body on the 2tst OF january last passed
an act increasing the limit in the cost to
$500, 900. The first comptroller has de
cided this latter act imperative, as no ap.
preparation was made to carry it into
effect. He also decides that. while the com.
mission can continue its investigation un.
der the appropriation OF March %, 1887,
it can not enter into any contract involv.
ing the government for future payment oi

Doorplates a Bygone Custom.

Chicago "Herald:" 1.-THE doorplate is a
thing OF the past, 'said a young man whose
firm carried full line of these out-of-date
signs in stock. 'It is seldom now that we
have a call for doorplate for private
house, unless it is for doctor or dentist.
1 speak of this city, OF course, as the door
plate still goes in the country towns. There
the larger the doorplate the bigger the pos
SCISSORS income. But here in town the
doorplate has passed into q state OF inno'
cuous desuetude. We still have calls for
the plated numbers for doors, though the
numbered transom is crowding these out,
for the reason that .transom numbers are
visible at .iight as well as during the day by
the passers-by. don't know what we will
do with our doorplate stock. People don't
like them because they give too good a cue
to peddlers and beggars, who can ask fol
the lady of the house by name and secure
an audience with her."

WASHINGTON GLEANINGS.

John I. Davenport Trying to Make the
Government Pay for His Republican
Is Electioneering Methods. ..-
WAsHlNaToN. April 22.-The President
has appointed Alex. E. Morrison OF New
Mexico as timber agent. He has also ap-
pointed commission to negotiate with the
Sioux Indians in Dakota, George Crook,
Hon. Charles Foster of Ohio, and Hon.
VIM. Warren of Kansas City. s*e-
First Comptroller Durham severed his
connection with the treasury department
to-day.
The resignation grew out of q re-
fusal by Durham to allow the bill Of John
/. Davenport OF New York for $4,000 for
extraordinary expenses" as election COM
missioner during the Presidential election.
This caused an open rupture with the at
torney general. These accounts were taken
out OF his hands. Secretary Wiudon said,
this afternoon, that he accepted Durham's
resignation in the ordinary course OF busi-
nese, not because of several newspaper
articles rejecting upon the administration
which are said to be inspired by the first
comptroller. These attributed sentiments
to the first comptroller which, il true, must
have made it unpleasant for him to con-
tinue in Office under existing circumstances.
