OF Claims.

The Court Of Claims heard arguments today
in the claim Of A. b Mullett against the United
States for cleo. sos. IS, compensation for serv-
ices as architect Of the State, War and Navy De-
partment building. The petition Was fled May 4
1889, but has never been heard until today,
Mr.. Felix Brannigan represented the govern.
ment and ex-Gov. Geo. 8. Boutwell, the claim
ant. The court reserved its decision. The
SUIT is for architectural fees, Mr.. Mullet'
having been, during the period Of the construc.
ton OF the building, the supervising architec,
OF the Treasury and employed on the new de-
partmental structure at the same time. He
claims compensation for the latter services in
addition to what he received as salary, the
amount OF his claim being IN per cent Of the
total cost OF the building.
The main ground Of defense is that In the
preparation OF the plans mentioned in the petit
tion and In the superintendent of the build.
Ing constructed after said plans the claiman,
was In the due performance Of his official duty
as supervising architect Of the Treasury
Department, and he has been fully paid the
salary prescribed by law for that Office.

pensation for the use Of plans in the con.

time ago, but there we're certain points on
which the court desired additional information
and second hearing was therefore ordered
The opposing counsel are Mr.. Brannigar
for the government and Messrs Cole
man and John Paul Jones for the
claimant The amount Of the claim i,
percentage (21O of the total cost Of the
building, s7,0oO,OOo The case depends upor
whether or not plans Of the claimants were

THE McCALLA COURT.
Judge Advocate General Remey Wrest-
ling With the Record.

The blow which Commander McCalla gave
to Seaman Walker on the decks Of the corvette
Enterprise il still resounding through the
navy. 1t caused the collection Of three large
volumes of words closely printed with which
half q dozen men are now struggling at the
Navy Department
This 10 the record Of the court Of inquiry and
Judge Advocate General Remey il at the head
OF the struggle. He has been closeted in his
Office at the department all day long, after
having engaged in the examination Of the rec
ord and the report half of Monday and all day
Secretary is now awaiting . report from Col
Remey upon the case before taking any action
in regard to the matter. This will probably be
submitted to the Secretary tonight or tomor-
row morning and will consist Of concise re-
view OF the facts, with q glance at the law,
and probably . Recommendation as to the
course to be pursued.

lock when the door swung open for moment,
was an interesting one. The colonel was
stalking up and down the floor in 'uuarter.deck"
fashion, his hands behind his back. a deep
frown on his brow, az he listened to the words
Of his assistant, Lieut.. Stayton, who read from
the record. A clerk sat in one corner at a
small table writing for dear life, while at
another table near the door was Lieut.

ming his fingers through his pompadour in his
perplexity as he dove into q law book, then
looked up and dictated to q stenographer, who
sat opposite in waiting attitude, then the
door closed.
COURT MARTIAL PROBABLE
1t is understood that Lawyer Choate, who
acted as counsel for the junior officers OF the
Enterprise at the inquiry, and who saw the
Secretary yesterday in their behalf, has
said that in his opinion the affair
Will result in a court-martial for Capt.
McCalla. He will, in that event, act as
his counsel. Orders were sent this morning to
New York to prepare the Enterprise for going
out OF commission. The terms Of her crew are
about up and her four years will expire in a

Its circulation has kept pace with its increase
in excellence, and now it is 80 far ahead Of the
other Washington papers that they are not in

Avenue hotel today. The object of the
conference il to discuss generally the
outlook for the coming season and to
provide for the success of the brotherhood
movement An important question before the
league is the proposition to change the sched-
ale. The men who have put their money into
the scheme want to fix the dates in the sched-
ule so as not to clash with the games of the
National League. while the players are opposed
to anything of the sort
The question of reinstating Beckley Of Pitts
burg and Delehanty and Mulvoy of Phiadel-
phia. who went back to the National League
after signing with the brotherhood, will come
before the meeting, and as there seems to be
no opposition the trio will probably be received
with open arms.
The meeting was called to order shortly
after noon. Among the early arrivals were
Messrs Hart and Kelly from Boston. Wander
slice and Wood from Philadelphia, Shire and
White from Buffalo and Secretary Brunnel
There were on the scene Umpires Gaffney ones,

and Matthews, who had come on to confer
with Secretary Brunell as to any changes in
the playing rules.

TIE TURN OUT WILL BE ON THE 11rH lNerANT-
THE MARINES TO PART1cIPATE-rHE FoRxIaN
DELEGATES WOULD LIKE TO SEE LIGHT Ar
TILLKRY KvoLUr1oNs,
Secretary Proctor has complied with q re-
quest he received day or two ago from the
Secretary of State that the War Department
devise means to give the foreign delegates to
the PAn-American congress q view of the
military Of this country and he has
accordingly issued orders for . parade
to be held on the 18th Of this month
by the regular troops on station here, together
with the District militia. The Secretary Of the
Navy has been asked to order out the Marine
Guard stationed here and the Marine
Band on this occasion. There will thus
be representation Of every branch
OF our service - regular, volunteer,
and naval aggregating upward Of two thous-
and men. The two troops Of cavalry from
Fort Myer and the artillery from the arsenal,
part dismOunted and marching as infantry,
together make fully three hundred men.
THE WHITE LOT NOT LARGE ENOUGH.
1t is the present intention OF Secretary Proc
tor to have the parade on the White Lot, in the
form of q dress review, but this plan will prob
ably have to be abandoned. 1t was found that
the Drlgace OF the District militia alone filled
the lot. with no room to spare on tho occasion OF
the dress parade held there last fall during the
conclave, and the space afforded there would
undoubtedly be entirely inadequate for such q
review as the Secretary has in mind now.
1t has been suggested to have Q street
parade, allowing the troops to pass in review
OF the delegates at some convenient point
along the route. This would also enable more
people to witness the parade than il 1t should
be held on the White Lot. The senior regular
army officer will be in command, probably Col.
Carpenter, who is in command of the garrison
at Fort Myer. Col Gibson is i'll.
SOMEWHAT SIGNIFICANT.
This combination of the regular troops and
the National Guard is somewhat significant, il
being the first time that it has been done in
such q special manner. There have been a
great many occasions where the two marched
together, but then there has been
some general parade in which both would
naturally participate. Now the Secretary Of War
calls them both out il a special parade in order
to exhibit to visiting foreigners good sample OF
the American soldier thus giving the militia
men an official standing on the same plane as
the regular soldier.
Work will commence at once in the various
armories in preparation for this event, which
Is now only nine days off.
Tho foreign delegates have expressed a
strong desire to witness drill by a light bat
terry, but there is no ground suitable for such
evolutions except at the Arsenal.
