THE CITY POSTMASTER
Mr.. Bissell to Take the Applications to the
President Tonight
Character of the backing of Some OF
the Candidates-AppOint Ex-
pccted Tomorrow.

Postmaster General Bissell was visited
by a representative of The Star this af-
noon and asked IL he had anything of in
terest to communicate in regard to the ap-
pointment of a successor to Postmaster
Sherwood.
Not today" responded Mr.. Bissell. II
will take the case up to the President to-
night and you may probably be able to
learn something tomorrow"
This course of action on Mr.. Bisselrs
part had been looked for by those inter-
ested in the case, both as candidates and
lookers-on. and before noon today the dec
laration was freely made that the ap-
pointment would be made tomorrow.
While Postmaster General Bissen has de-
cli1ed to publicly state whom he will
recommend for the place, 1t is understood
that he will favorably present the name
of Mr.. Frank Thomas to the President.
Mr.. Thomas is at present chief clerk of
the Post Office Department, and has very
strong backing among the business men
of Washington, regardless of politics. In
deed, his candidacy is unique in this re-
gard, for he has consistently refused to
accept any political influence which was
rendered him, notably by the two Sena-
tors from Kentucky, and has no papers of
political nature on file with his appli-
cation.
The candidate who possesses both per-
sonal and political support in the greatest
degree is Mr.. w. ID. Peachy, chief of the
registration division in the city post office
He has the influence Of nearly all the south
ern Senators and majo rity of the members
OF most of the democratic congressional
delegations His local backing includes
nearly every business man actively identi-
fed with the democratic party In the Dis
trict.
Mr.. Robert Beall Is said to be strongly
indorsed, in personal sense, by Secretary
Lamont, while Mr. James p. Willett is the
choice OF large and influential wing of the
LEGAL democracy, led by Marshal Wilson.
Mr.. Lawrence Gardner is not a candidate
for the place, but he must be regarded as an
IMPORTANT factor in the affair until it is
finally settled tonight.

CAPT. JOHNSON DISMISSED.
His Sentence Approved by the Presi-
dent and His Name Dropped.


The President has approved the sentence
of dismissal in the case of Capt. William S.
Johnson, a retired officer Of the army, and
his name was dropped from the Army Reg
lister today. Capt Johnson has had a gall
liant, though a checkered career. He entered
the army private in company A of the
fourth battalion of the District Of Columbia
volunteers, April II. 1861, and made such a
creditable record during the war that on the
18th of June, 1867. he was appointed first
lieutenant Of the forty-third infantry. He
was born in Illinois. but was appointed to
the army from Michigan. While in the
ranks he was severely wounded and lost
the use of his left arm. He was mustered
out of the service In 1869. and was REIN
stated May, 1870, by a special act of Con-
gress. He was placed on the retired list
May 20. 1871, in consequence of disa bilities
incurred in the line of duty. He has al
ways had more or less trouble about his
finances and several years ago was court
n,artiaied for duplicating his pay accounts.
He was then sentenced to dismissal, but
the sentence mitigated to a short sus-
pension on account of his good army record.
The offense for which he is now punished
was committed several months ago In Den
yer, Colo, and consisted of his persistent
refusal to pay a long standing bill Of 500
for a tombstone for one of his children,
after having been repeatedly urged by the
War Department to settle the account. He
was tried at Fort LeavenwOrth for viola
ton of the SiXty-firSt article of war, for
conduct unbecoming an officer and gentle
man, and was found guilty and sentenced
to be dismissed. A strong appeal was made
by his friends but the President did not
regard 1t as case for clemency, and ap-
proved the sentence today without word
of comment.

INCUBATION FOR DIPHTHERIA.
Description of the New Pnsteur Treat
r,fent for Infnntile Diseases.

The new treatment by incubation for
diphtheria and Group. as practiced in
France, is the subject of special report
to the Department Of State by United
States Consul c. w. Chancellor at Havre.
He says that by this method Of treatment
only one out Of four diphtheretic patients
succumbs, whereas the figure is double for
other methods of treatment heretofore en-
ployed. Consequently, the consul, who Is
a Baltimore physician of repute, says that
it would seem very desirable that the anti
diphtheretic serum should be introduced
and come into general use at the earliest
thousand children and numerous physicians,
students and nurses die annually from
diphtheria and Group. The consul gives in
detail a history of the development Of the
treatment by DR.. Pasteur and his assistant.
DR.. Roux. who have been experimenting
with it for five years, keeping 1t secret until
they had satisfied themselves Of its etfi-
cacy, and had selected the animal Uhe
horse) best adapted to transform the dph-
tEeretic poison into an anti-toxine. A trial
of the new treatment at one Of the largest
childrens hospitals Of Paris resulted in
reducing the death rate from diphtheria
from 81. 20 per cent to 24.33 per cent. In
addition, 1t is stated that children vacci-
mated with the serum were protected from
the disease, even while living in close con-
tact with diphtheretic patients. As the
Pasteur Institute cannot meet the great
foot in different localities to establish aux
iliary stations. In slight cases one injection
of the serum is sufficient, while the ordinary
case yields to two.

HE WILL NOT SPEAK
Secretary Carlisle Decides Not to Partioi-
pate in the Campaign
He Says That His Duties VIII Not Al
low Him to Lea.e the City
mt THIS Time.

Secretary Carlisle will not take part in
the political campaign, and he 80 informed
bis friends today. He cancelled his engage
ment to speak at Louisville, KY, and noti-
fled the managers Of the democratic cam
paign In New York and Indiana, where he
had partially promised to speak. that he
would not be able to do so. The change in
his plans is said at the Treasury Depart
ment to have been made necessary by the
enormous amount Of official business de-
manding his prompt personal attention.
which will not admit of his leaving tue
city at present or for many weeks to come.
This great pressure of work is said to be
due to the many complicated questions that
have arisen in connection with the admin
istration of the tariff law, to the necessity
of making certain changes in the service
and also to the necessity Of writing his an
nual report and preparing the estimates
for the maintenance Ut the government es-
tablishment.
Many people venture the opinion that
there Is another reason for the Secretary's
action, and that Is that the President did
not care to have his financial minister take
such prominent part in the political arena.
The grounu for this assumption is that up
to the time of the Presidents return to the
city, Secretary Carlisle was strongly in
cltned to accept the invitation to speak at
Indianapolis and New York, and that 1t was
uuili dIteT HdC WIN tne
President that he found that his official
duties precluded his leaving the city. The
question as to whether the President will
do or say anything In the interest of the
New York democratic ticket is still unset
tied so far as official Information is con-
cerned. The action of Secretary Carlisle In
declining to enter the campaign Is accepted
by many politicians as a clear indication
that the President will not commit himself
In regard to the New York ticket.
TeIeSrams Sent.
Secretary Carlisle's position in regard to
participation in the political campaign is
shown in a telegram he sent to Senator
D. W. Voorhees,, at Indianapolis, as follows:
''The condition of public business In the
Treasury Department prevents me from
taking any part in the campaign. l have
therefore declined all Invitations
"(Signed) j. G.. CARLISLE"
similar telegram was sent to Jas. w.
Hinkley of the New York democratic COM
mittee, and also to other democratic mana
gers in other states who were waiting for
the Secretary's decision in this matter.

BUILDING THEIR NESTS,
Quiet at New City Post Office Just
Suits SparrOvs.

Even the little birds have heard that the
post office building is slow In going up.
1t used to be the saying that secret was
apt to be spread by the feathered twit-
terers. but now 1t would appear that some
one has told this secret to the sparrows
Of Washington, for two of them, confiding
in the Immortality of the contract, have
builded their nest in one of the iron col
umns of the first floor. 1t is the habit CT
the sparrow to mate and build in the
spring, and so this nest, which was dis
covered this morning by the brick con-
tractor as he was removing some old lum-
Der from the iron flooring, must have been
made last spring. Thus 1t comes that this
house of straw may properly be classed
as one of those relics of the musty past a
last years birds nest"
That such thing should have been
found In the frames of this slow pile is
not to be a source of wonder. The birds
know where to nest in safety, and as they
are shrewd little chaps they never go for
their homes into scenes of great activity
or hustle. 1t is so much more to their
purpose and nature to rear their young
amid the quiet of a retired life. SO that
the coming generation may start out in
life with a due appreciation of the advan-
tages of the rural fields.
There were hfty-siX men at work today,
affording possibility of finishing the build
ing on the 1st of April, 1897. This is
huge April-fool joke, as it Is painfully ap-
beyond the range even of possibility. 1t
would not be possible today for the con-
tractors to put enough workmen on the
walls to succeed in finishing the building
within the year 1897, which goes to show
still more forcibly the extreme generosity
Of The Star in formulating its schedule of
dates in this connection.
1t VIII probably be ten days before the
brick work can be begun again, and, ac-
cepting the inevitable, the brick contractor
has taken an outside job to work in con-
nection with the new post office. In view
of his past experiences, he has no doubt
whatever of his ability to carry on both
joDS at once.
The stone work is still concentrated at
the main entrance, where two settlers and
eS many assistants are laying the inside
courses to the central arch. There are
three OF these courses, the central one of
which forms panel on the under face of
the arch, five inches deep. This course is
also shalloWer on the inside than the two
outer courses, and the hollow thus formed
en- the granite rims is to be filled with
brick Unfortunately for the fame of the
building much of the work that will now
be done on this arch will not show on the
avenue side. This fact should be taken in
to consideration by passing citizens, who
may be inclined to criticise the slow gait
adopted. Meanwhile, the iron work. the
great delay on which was quoted extensive
ly some weeks ago as being the whole
cause of delay, is low some weeks ahead
of the masonry on the walls, which is not
even begun. 1t is highly to be doubted that
the iron work, with reference to the stone
construction. is considerably ahead of time

THE M ARINE CORPS
Interesting Facts From the Annual Re-
port Of Col. Haywood
More Men Needed in the COrps-GOod
Work Done During the
Strikes.

Col. Charles Haywood, commandant Of
the United States marine corps. in his an
EUal report to the Secretary Of the Navy,
asks for an increase Of the corps. On this
subject he says:
ION October 1. 1894. there were 2.007 en-
listed men In the corps, only short of the
authorized number OF these 1,198 were on
duty at the different shore stations and
0O1 on board ships in commission.
Hard Service Performed.
During the past year the total number
of men appropriated for has been nearly
continuously In the service, which has en-
abled the duty to be performed with less
hardship to the men, and In consequence
the number Of desertions has been very
materially decreased. l have always been
satisfied that desertions in the marine
corps were caused, In a large measure, by
the hard work our men are called upon to
perform, and the above condition of affairs
seems to bear me out In this opinion The
men nearly everywhere have been able to
have two days off guard, which is a great
relief from the severity Of day on and day
OFF,, to which they have for a long while
been subjected. but still, in comparison
than five days off guard. 1t will be seen
that this is hard duty and too much Of a
tax on the physical energies of the men,
and to produce even better results We
should have increased numbers.
1.-The demand increases every day, both
on shore and afloat, particularly in view
of the many new vessels which will soon
be placed In commission. and ] again earn
estly request that the department will
take the necessary action to have the ap-
propriations increased for more men, in
accordance with my many previous recon-
mendations."
Words of COmmendatiOn.
The commandant strongly recommends an
appropria ton for barracks at Sitka, Alaska.
He speaks with pride of the fine service
rendered by his corps as guards at the
worlds fair. and particularly In California
during the strike. He incloses testimonials
from Brig. Gen. Ruger and other officers
and says:
Tits most gratifying to me to know that
the marines have again proved themselves
efficient and useful in the performance of
any and all duty that may be assigned them
as evidenced by this service and am par
ticularly pleased with the work done by this
fine battalion from Mare Island, which has
reflected additional credit on the corps. My
thanks are due and heartily rendered to all
the officers and men composing ii. and es-
pecially to Maj. Pope, who so ably COM
manded 1t and made possible, by mis- zeal
and strict attention to duty, such excellent
results"
