| Ing like a charm. and with Speaker
| armed with the authority to establish
| quorum whenever there IS sufficient
| number Of members present, the point OF
mo quorum is seldom raised, and those
members VINO heretofore were compelled
| to give their whole time TO the sessions
| Of the House are availing themselves OF
the opportunity to do a little department
work.
| Hon. d. Gardiner Tyler and Senator
| Daniel obtained an interview with Sec
rotary Carlisle to-day, during whlch they
| strongly urged the name OF captain huI-
| daugh, Of Norfolk, 10 succeed capt. John
| cast as supervising inspector OF steam
| yesses The Secretary's mood to-day
was rather evasive than responsive, ana
| the interview was not entirely sausidc-
| tory 10 the gentlemen VINO are so anxious
| that Virginia should retain TINS lucrative
/ and pleasant position. The appointment
| he said was a Presidential one, ana ne
| could make no promises without con-
| sultation with his chief which he prom
| ised 10 have tomorrow. During the CON
| Versation he mentioned the fact that
| Senator Ransom. while ne had not pressed
| the name Of any particular party had
| made the request that the posiuon De
| given 10 North Carolina. As the Senator
from North Carolina has very peculiar
| and effective way Of urging his requests
| il is by no means safe TO predict the
| success of any Nlrginian. although there
are strong grounds on which 10 base tne
| hopes OF Captain MuNlaugh appoint
| mcnt.
MIR. Tyler also called at the state De-
| partmcnt and procured passport lOr
| one Of his constituents, who was former
! subject Of the Ottoman Empire, but VINO
! is now naturalized citizen Of the United
! States, who wishes TO revisit his native
| land.

| sistant Secretary McAdOO iii reference 10
| a bill now before the Naval Committee,
! which authorizes the Secretary OF the
! Nav 10 loan disused war vessels 10 those
! States which have naval militia Inc
! State Of North Carolina has a naval
| militia, and so has several II the hoftheIh
| states. but Their viii hardly be war snipS
| enough 10 20 around If this bill could
! be so amended as 10 include the dlSusea
| ordnance probably the next Tine a Gov
/ ernOr Of Virginia wished 10 borrow
cannon for the use Of the oyster navy he
| might be accommodated.

| DO
lie would not promise, however, 70 be
| present at the banquet, as he sald ne
| would prefer 10 give an hour or even
| two, to an informal reception 10 those
| present, and as ii would be Impossible
| FOR the immense crowd which would be
! there to attend the banquet, ne would
I remain on the ground, but as ne Would
