Serious Question.
New York, Feb. 3.-What to do with
cur naval vessels now that the Chilian
excitement has died out is, according to
a Washington correspondent, the ques-
ton that ia agitating Secretary Tracy's
mind. The department. will not be in
any hurry to Withdraw Acting Rear-Ad-
miral Walkers squadron from Monte
video, or the Boston and Yorktown from
the South Pacific, but redistribution of
the ships and some change in naval
commands may soon be looked for. 1t
is not unlikely advantage will be taken
of the presence of an unusually large
number Of vessels in both the Pacific and
South Atlantic stations to carry out the
long contemplated project Of dividing
the Pacific station into two separate com
mands, one to be known as the North
Pacific squadron and the other as the
South Pacific. Command of the South
Pacific station, in case it is established,
will probably fall upon Rear-Admiral
Benham, who IL next IN order for the
SQUADRON command. He was booked for
the South Atlantic, but his orders were
cancelled when it was decided to send
Admiral Walker there. The South At
lantic will likely be vacant again pretty
soon. for it is generally understood that
Admiral Walker will b. ordered home
and given command Of the North Allan
tic station when Rear. Admiral Gherardi'f
term expires in the spring Rear-Ad
miral Gherardi's three years. tour ex
pires February 70, but az there Is certain
work in connection with the acquisition
of coaling station in the West Indies
that he desires to complete. he will
probably continue in command until lat
in the spring. II there are new develop
mepts OF an unfavorable nature in Chill
ian matters he will be ordered to return
to the West Indies shortly after his or
rival at Montevideo, which should b.
about the middle OF this week.

City Council
BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 4.-There was
mid sensation in the first branch OF the
council chamber when, after President
Seim had announced a sealed communi-
cation from the mayor, Councilman
Cummings, the colored member from
the eleventh ward, moved the appoint
ment of the usual committee OF two to
invite the second branch into convention
to consider the paper. The chairman
named Messrs. Cumming and Barnes.
The latter declined to accompany his
colo,ed colleague. President Seinh ap-
peared vexed. and addressing the mem.
bers said: 1.-THE member from the first
ward declines, for reasons best known
to himself, to accompany member nom
the eleventh ward to the second branch
Of the chamber. If some member Will
take nv place in the chair for the time
being, will 20 with Mr.. Cummings my
self" ,
No one seemed anxious to become pre-
siding officer pro TEN, and the chair
then assigned Mr.. Berry to the task.
MIR. Berry accepted, and the incident
was closed. Councilman Cummings is
practicing law in this city. he Is the
only colored man ever reelected to office
in Maryland, and he has twice been
chosen member OF the first branch Of

sistant acknowledgement, who has jusf
returned from an extensive tour Of inr~
spection OF posts where these new soldiers
are stationed, gives the most satisfactory
account OF the progress these braves arc
making In their new duties. Despite tho
reports telegraphed East from Whippl0
barracks and several other Western poste
about the intoxication and diAOrdeyiy
condition of the Indian troops, Major
Ehawan says there IL much less drunken
ness among the bucks than among the
white soldiers. He Gays he investigates
these reports carefully and found them
greatly exaggerated. The drunkenness.
OF Q single Indian was the only fouudaf
ton for the report from Whipple raT--
racks that the whole troop was drunk AND
on the rampage A careful watch Of the
habits OF the Indian soldiers has BEEN
kept since the beer privilege Was given
them 1t the canteens, and with rare ex-
ceptions there has been no abuse OF this
privilege among them. On the whole,
the war department 10 thoroughly sais--
fed with the Indian soldiers, and evergr
effort will ba made to get the full 1n0tss
contemplated. Seven hundred and Ten,
or about half the number desired, have
been enlisted. Nine companies ara rally
