Naval officers who are on duty In Washing
ton think there Is great deal of truth in ru-
mors that have connected Secretary of the
Navy Tracy's name with the United States
Senatorship from New York TO succeed Senator
Evarts who has announced that he would not
again accept tho position. According TO reports
received from New York by Naval officers, there
IL little doubt In the minds of many of them
but that Gen. Tracy will DO the next candidate
Of the Republican party for that position. II
II was necessary for Gen. Tracy to resign from
the Seeretaryship Of the Navy at onco, in order
to accept the Sonatorship, he would not prob
ably DO candidate; but as no would not be
sworn in as Senator, If elected, before March
4, 1891, this would give the Secretary ample
time to start the new war-ships ordered by Con-
gresA. Besides this, it is understood that the
prominent Republican politicians of New York,
foremost among whom is Senator Hiscock, are
are In favor Of Gen. Tracy for the position.

perience with caTrier-pigeons, the Navy De-

ably each of them has deluded some anxious
politician into the belief that he can "help him

order TO make something of show for u brief

incredible that any man should imagine they
can have political influence anywhere, but they
are gone, at all events, and the only other way
they could get out of the city would be on q
pauper- ticket issued from the office of the Su-
perintendent of the Poor. A fortnight hence
they will all be back in their old places, resum-
ing their ravages on the matches, toothpicks,
stationery, and ice-water, and explaining all

whether it Is true or not.

whole division Of Brazil war-shlps are on
their way to the United States, according to
advees received at the State Department.. This
is because this country was the first to recoe-
nize the independence of that country after
the bloOdless revolution which deposed Dom
Pedro and inaugnrated Government by the
people. The United States Squadron of EvoIu-
ton were at Rio de Janeir0 last July, and they
saluied the new BRAZILIAN flag. and the Inter
national courtesy thus extended by this coun-
try 10 the new Government Of Brazil excited
enthusiasm in the new Republic, and they
propose by sending feet of war-ships to the
United States TO testify their gratitude for the
prompt acknowledgment Of their Republic.

NO RECOUNT FOR NEW YORK.

The officials of the City of New York, think
ing that the recent official census of that city
was incorrect, had the police force take another
census which showed quite an increase in the
population of the city, enough, IL is claimed, TO
allow another Congressman. Mayor Grant
wrote TO Secretary Noble, giving the discrep-
ancy between the two counts, but the Secretary
has taken no action upon the matter.
Superintendent of the Census Porter, who
has just returned from Europe says that no
recount of Now York will be ordered but If il
was found that any of the enumerators had
wilfully neglected TO count anybody they would
be punished. He said the month of june was
bad time to count the population of city, as
many were out of town, but they were prob
ably counted somewhere else, and he could not
help it If il was not fair to New York. When
the police census is sent to Washington it will
be accepted as part of the evidence that the
original count was incorrect If the evidence
offered shows that any district had been neg
lected an investigation will be made by the
Census Bureau, and extra names accepted. Mr.
Porter also denied that enumerators had been
chosen for their political standing, as he did
not care what their politics were

PENSION DECISIONS.

Rulings and Decisions By the Assistant Secretary OF
the Interior and the Com missioner Of Pensions.
Assistant Secretary Bussoy has rendered sn
interesting pension decision in the case of Mol
lie, widow of John NJ. Rich, late of Co. ID,
Independent Battery. Pa. l.. A.. who died in the
insane asylum Of Shelby County, Tenn, Aug.
81. 1886. He was married after the war. but
his wife left him in 1871. and in 1877 he was
again married at Memphis, Tenn. His first
wife, believing that he had procured divorce
from her, married n second time and has two
children living, the result Of this marriage.
The second wife now appears as 8 claimant for
pension, but admits that she Is unable to fur
nish copy Of the record Of the soldiers d.
vorce from his first wife, and her claim was
consequently rejected by the Pension Bureau.
The Assistant Secretary in reversing this de-
cision takes the ground that the soldier brought
a suit for divorce on the ground of abandon
ment, and secured 1t under the easy going laws
which prevail in most of the Western States
aud Territories. Under the circumstances the
claimant Is held to be the soldiers lawful
widow, and therefore entitled to o pension.
