WASHINGTON, April 16.-The selection of che
successor of General I. W. Hyde on the board
of managers of the homes for disabled volunteer
soldiers still remains undecided. The House
have adopted resolution naming Colonel Angus
tus B. Farnham, of Bangor, for the place, and this
resolution has gone to the Senate, where 1t is in
the hands of the Senate committee on military af-
fairs. General Hydeis candidate for reappointl
ment and has been here in Washington severa
times this session looking out for this matter in
connection with other business relating to the
gunboats which his firm are building in Bath.
Should the Senate committee substitute the name
of General hyde for that of Colonel Farnham
there might result a disagreement between the
two branches which would prevent the selection
Of any one. In this case it seems quite probable
that General Hyde would continue in office for
another term or a part of another term, as the
law says that "The term of office of these Imana-
gers 81 all be for six years, and until successor
is elected" There are twelve managers of the
national home, the president of the United States,
the secretary of war and the chief justice being
members &c oficio, while Congress selects nine
associates for them. The office carries no salary
being purely honorary.

BERLIN, April 1G.-After his reference in the
Landtag yesterday to the Emperor's intention to
steer the old course, Chancellor Won Capriyi said
it was in the nature of the case, and in accord
ance with human nature, that against force like
Bismarck's other forces could hardly find place,
and that, in the face of his resolute sef-reliant
ways regarding the conducting of affairs, many
another tendency had to fall into the background,
and many ideas and desires remain unfulflled

change, with reference to the government itself,
would be that certain rlliniatestaI
would gain larger scope and increased promin-
ence. CRenewed cheering.l 1t was then newt
able that within the PruSsian ministry the old
character of the ministry-that of a body of col
leagues-would obtain more recognition than was
possible under that mighty president. Without
possessing any formal authorization he believed
that he was warranted in declaring that the
government would always be ready to receive
such arrears of desires and ideas he had refer
red to. and would re-examne them, and if con-
vinced Of their practcability, would put them into
effect.
The chancellor spoke in clear, resonant tones
and with no trace OF eagerness OF nervousness.
