GREAT BRITAIN NEGLECTFUL.
Not PatrOllfng the Herring Sea aa
Should He Done.


TOWNSEND. Wash. September 19.-Un-
less radical changes are made in the ar
rangement existing between Great Britain
and the United States in the matter of pro-
tecting seals 1t Is more than likely that the
Bering sea fleet next year will consist only
of one or two revenue cutters.
Ever since the joint patrol arrangement
was entered into Great Britain has shirked
its duty and thrown seven-eighths Of the
work on the United States. This year, as
was the case last year, the work Of patrol
ling the sea against pelagic sealers was per-
formed by nine American vessels. while the
queens interests were looked after by one
small gunbCat.
The entire result of this seasons work
resulted in two British schooners being
seized by American gunboats, and their re-
leases speedily followed the hearing of the
cases before the British admiral at Vic
toria, who held that the seizures were made
Illegally. The vessels referred to were the
Victoria schooners Wanderer and Favorite,
the latter having been released Saturday
last
The business of the patrol can be read
lily understood when 1t is known that $iO0,-
OOO were expended in maintaining IL, while
the sealers are making as large If not
larger catches than those Of the preceding
seasons. 1t is notorious fact that never
since the joint marine police force has been
established. have the Britishers entered up
on the work with more than a half hearted
interest. Their ships spent the greater part
of the time at Sitka and Ounalaska with
their officers off On hunting and fishing eX-
cursions. Their neglect has called down
much adverse criticism and 1t is more than
probable that next year our fleet will be
made up of one or two revenue cutters, If
private information received today is cor
rect.

ABOLITION OF ARMY POSTS,
A Flood of Protests Received at the
War Department..

1t was. perhaps, with a view to the un-
impeded execution Of the plan for the
concentration Of troops and the reduction
Of the number of army posts that the for
mai order to give it effect was withheld
until Congress had adjourned and but few
Senators and Representatives remained In
this city. By the terms OF the order. nine
posts are abandoned entirely and three
are reduced to insignificant subposts. All
but two of the posts abandoned are In the
west--namey Fort Marcy, N NJ; Fort
Bowie, Ariz.; Fort Mckinney, wyo.; Fort
Sully, s. D.; Fort Supply, Ok: Fort Maci-
nae, Mich, and Newport barracks Ky.
These posts mean much to the thinly set
tied western states, causing the expendi-
ture, with regularity. of large sums of
money by the garrsons and generally en-
couraging business. 1t was not supposed
that they could be abandoned without some
opposition, and already flood of protests
has begun to pour in upon the War De-
partment demonstrating against the changes
in every case. Gen. Schofield, who is acting
as Secretary of War, has to bear the brunt,
but he is laying aside the papers against
the return of Secretary Lamont who must
pass upon them in the end.

He Finally Complies With the Re-
quest Of Secretary Carlisle.
Els LETTER WAS PURELY FORMAL
Nothing in It About the Alleged
Conspiracy.
A OLDEST ESrIM ATE

Mr.. Jeremiah O'Rourke has finally COM
piled with Secretary Carlisle's request for
his resignation as supervising architect Of
the Treasury Department. The request was
made Monday afternoon. but was not COM
piled with until this afternoon, notwith-
| standing the fact that Mr.. O'Rourke was
asked to ''resign Immediately" The letter
of resignation was purely formal, and con-
tained no reference whatever to an alleged
conspiracy against Mr.. ORourke on the
part Of the subordinates in his office, evi-
dence of which he yesterday promised to
submit to the Secretary as a reason, ap-
parently, for the withdrawal Of the re-
quest for his resignation
Mr.. O'Rourke undoubtedly reconsider cred
his determination in that matter or else
found that he was unable to supply salts
factory evidence of any combination
against him. His letter today was con-
fined to brief statement of the reforms
he had endeavored to institute in the arch
itects office. Although no action had been
taken on the resignation up to o'clock
this afternoon there is a very strong I'M
preston that Secretary Carlisle will ac-
cept it. to take effect Immediately, before
the close of business this afternoon.
No Statement to Make.
A Star reporter called upon Mr. O'Rourke
this afternoon to see If he had any state
ment to make with regard to the matter
MI. " nOurke was DuSliy engaged In ar
ranging the private papers in his desk
for removal to his home in New Jersey.
He said he had no statement to make on
the subject and did not think 1t would be
proper for him to say anything SO long as
he remained in the service. His resigna-
ton had been rendered, but 1t had not yet
been accepted, and as he did not wish to
embarrass Mr.. Carlisle in the least, he would
remain here until his resignation was ac-
cepted; that is he would remain three or
four days, but no longer. He said that he
was not at all dependent upon the office
for a living, and, indeed, had made a great
sacrifice in accepting it, The salary. $4,5O0
a year, was a mere pittance to an archi-
tect Of even ordinary ability. II he had de-
voted as much attention to his private
business as he had to the government dur
ing the past year, he said, he would easily
have made 100000.
Mr.. O'Rourke said he did not care to dis
cuss the alleged conspiracy in his Office. 1t
was. in fact, he said, too low and contempti-
BILE to speak about He did not even care to
put 1t in writing, but he would tell Secre-
tary Carlisle about 1t II he should call upon
him.
Only Three Trained Architects.
There Is nothing particularly modest about
Mr.. o Rourke. During his informal talk with
the reporter he remarked that there had
been only three trained architects at the
head of this office, Mr.. Potter, Mr.. Windrim
and himself, and he considered that Mr.
O'Rourke was the peer Of them all.

THE SILVER QUESTION
Neither Campaign Committee is Debating
e. to Doctrine
Candidates Are Giving Their Own
Vicws-The Republican Handbook
DevOtes Much Attention to 1t.

The two congressional campaign commit
tees have advised their respective can
didates to use their own judgment in TAX
ing a stand upon the silver question in
the coming campaign. No set policy upon
silver is to be followed in this campaign
and the silver plank in the party platform
will be ignored In this respect it will be
a go-as-you-please race for each candidate.
Each man must make his own terms with
his constituency.
No Effort to Dictate Silver Doctrine.
The party organization will make no ef-
fort to dictate silver doctrine to the people
at this time, but on the contrary will place
itself in a receptive attitude to get the
opinion Of the country by the time the next
national convention meets. So ii transpires
that diverse arguments are being made by
republican candidates in the same state,
one man advocating silver and another
in an adjoining district taking a more con-
servative stand. 1t is the same case with
respect to the democratic candidates, who
are as equally divided upon this subject.
The Republican Handbook.
Feeling that the silver question is to
figure very prominently in the campaign,
the republicans in, preparing their hand
book have devoted large amount of atten-
ton to the finances. Every statistic that a
cdIiuiuate InlSnt want upon elther Side or
the silver question is elaborately set forth,
SO that the candidate can have no trouble
in supporting his arguments with figures
Will Figure i'm the short Session.
The opinion is very general that there
will be considerable discussion of the silver
question in the coming short session of
Congress. Senator Gray of Delaware thinks
that it will figure very prominently in the
debates of the Senate. although it is not
safe to predict that any action will come
from the talk. There have been Indications
for some time of change OF sentiment on
the part OF leading republicans toward
silver, and outcroppings of the new ideas
may be expected to develop in the short
session.

REGlMENTAL POST,
Changes Made mt Fort Myer by the
New Army Order.

Nc" ARMY Orucr.
Military circles in this city are indulg-
ing in considerable gossip in regard to the
effect of making Fort Myer, Va, regmental
headquarters for the sixth cavalry There
will be no difference in the size of the gar
rison for the present, the four companies
leaving being replaced by four companies
of the sixth cavalry. Although there will
be no more soldiers there will be several
more officers, and it is expected in the fu-
ture to have the entire sixth regiment sta
toned at that post. The garrison cannot
be increased. however. until additional bar
racks have been erected. il is said that the
War Department proposes to spend about
one hundred thousand dollars in improve
ments at this post, including new barracks
and stables.
One of the pieasantest features Of the
change is that the post hereafter will boast
OF band of its own, and this fact has
given rise to a movement for the erection
of ball room at the post. A military hall
room is feature of military lie that has
been unknown, and usually there Is no
place at military posts where such af-
fairs can be conducted. The idea OF a ball
room, however. is thus far I'm a very neb-
bulous state, and may never materialize.

THE SIXTH VIRGINIA DISTRICT.
Good Fighting Chance for the Re-
publicans to Carry 1t.

"oou riShting Chance for the Re-
publicans to Carry 1t.
Gsn. Malone Of Virginia, who, two
months ago, advised the republicans to
make no congressional nominations in that
state. now writes from the field that the
republicans really have a good fighting
chance of carrying the sixth congressional
district, which is now represented by a
democrat. Mr.. J. Hampton Hoge, a "fopu-
list" is the republican candidate In this
district.
Mr.. Hose Actively at Work.
Mr.. Hoge will be remembered as the per-
son who was nominated by President
Cleveland to a China consulship, but whose
conduct before he left caused the State
Department to demand his resignation, and
who thereupon left the democratic party
and Joined the republicans His next step
for Congress in his district. and he has
commenced vigorous campaign. Mr..
Hoge's election Is said to come within the
range OF possibilities by reason Of the fact
that the democracy In the sixth district is
house divided against itself. There are
two candidates In the field Col Peter j.
Otey for the straight democracy, and Mr.
Rrcker for the popuf1sts and prohibitionists.
Neither OF these will control any of the
negro vote.
The Democratic Appeal.
The democrats are said to admit that Mr.
Hoge will carry white 'otes to equal the
negro vote, and if their own strength is di-
Vided between two candidates they say
that Mr. Hoge's election becomes probable
The democrats are, therefore, appealing to
their people to support the straight ticket
rather than let republican represent the
district. The sixth district includes the city
OF Roanoke, whose interests are entirely Of
an Industrial character. and a large propor-
ton OF the population is made up of north
ern workmen who came from republican
states to work in the car shops and iron
works.
Dissatisfied About Patronage.
Another encouraging feature of the situa-
ton for the republicans is the dissatisfac-
ton which exists among the democrats over
the question Of patronage. There are said
to be many promin ent democrats in the dis
trict who are In an ugly frame of mind, and
whose influence will tend to keep people
away from the polls.

GOV. FLOWERS DECLINATION.
No Surprise to Democratic Managers.
Looking to whitney or Lamont.

Flowers declination Of denomination for
the gcvernorship of New York, which was
anticiT ated n The Star on Monday, was a
prearranged thing. and was, of course, no
surprise to the democratic managers here.
The democratic managers are very gravely
concerned about the election in the empire
state this fall. and they have been playing
for the withdrawal of Flower in the hopes
of being able to settle upon a candidate
who could hold the support Of both fac
tions Of the party in the state. The ques-
ton has been whether Flower could be in
duced to retire. The Indications Of repub-
lican success this fall aided them In their
designs upon Mr.. Flower, who is not am
bilious to be defeated.
The idea of the democratic national man.
ayers is that Lamont or Whitney will be
the candidate. There is a great deal of un-
certain ty in their minds. however. as to
what the plans of Mr.. Hill may be- and,
while they may ignore him in national af-
fairs. they have to take him into account
In New York state. The rumors that he Is
not disinclined to let an administration
candidate stand up for defeat are disquiet-
ing.
