THE DAY IN WASHINGTON ,
GENERAL EVENTS.
WASHINGTON , Juno 3. The Post prints the
following : Joseph B. Fowler , dlsmissod from
the position as chief of the pension division
of the third auditor's ofQco of the treasury de
partment , yesterday was appointed a third
class clerk in the same division , a position
within the classification of civil service. This
appointment raises another question for the
civil service commission. It is stld to be illegal
on the ground that Powler's dismissal severed
his connection with the government and it is
hold that ho could not bo reappointed without
going through the civil service examination
and being legally certified. Should the com
mission dcciue thoappointment legal the head
of the bureau could remove the chiefs of
divisions and fill the positions by appointment
under the precedent made In tha case of Fowler
ler , that these appointees can be reducad to
clerks , tha removal of the latter creating the
desired vacancies. Now chiefs of divisions
can then bo appointed.
The reduction of Mr. Fowler to a third
class clerkship from the position of chief ,
which was c-xceptod from the civil service
rules , was made according to the rules which
provide that if a man wa appointed and ac
cepted position that ! a a position not pro
tected by the law before tha law was passed ,
ho may bo reduced to the classified rank , but
* If ho was appointed since the patsace of the
law ho cannot be so reduced , Commissioner
Gregory Informed a reporter to-day that there
had been several such cases ,
two or three In the treasury , ono in the post-
office and some in the other departments , and
the reduction had been uniformly allowed.
When tha official had held his office before
the law wont into effect in ono case a man
who was chief exchanged places with a third-
class clerk. But this , ho eald , did not open
up a way for averting the civil service exam
ination , as any man now appointed to
bo chief of division , would be debarred from
the classified service , except through the reg
ular course. Thslawis very clear on the
1 subject , and no attempt is being made to
evade it.
Sixth Auditor of the Treasury McGonvllle ,
speaking to-day of tbo recent changes in his
office , said they were made for the purpose
of Increasing the efficiency of the service.
There were 370 clerks in the office , and ha
l > thought of this number there were probably
sixty whose services could bo dispensed with
o This number of changes would not bo
made Immediately , but would take place
Ho bad made no discharges except for onuse ,
and when vacancies occurred in the cltssitied
service he depended on the civil service 10
supply the now material. He observed the
civil service laws , and knew of no instances
\vhere it had been violated. Ho did not be
lieve there was any disposition on the part of
the administration to disregard tha rules.
The president has amended rule 9 of the
civil service rules , relating to the examination
of applicants to office , by Inserting after the
words "no person dismissed from the public
service for misconduct" and before the words
"shall be admitted to examination within two
years thereafter , " the following words , "and
no person who has not been absolutely ap
pointed or employed after probation. "
The comptroller of the currency to-day ex
tended the corporate existence of the First

tha advisers of President Cleveland I think I

dARTAU'S ASSAULT ON OARTHAOKNA ,
NEW YORK , June 3. The steamer which
today arrived from Panama brings tha fol
lowing account of , the attack upon Garth a-
gena : "Lato news from Carthagona con
firms the intelligence received by the Spanish
gunboat Gcrdinand El Catolico and the
American flagship Tennessee. Gartau , on
learning of the approach of the government
troops under Briceno and of tholr junction
with a small force led by General Vile at
Sinclejo , resolved on making a general at
tack on Caitbagena , assaulting it both by
land and nea. IIu paid dearly for his
temerity. Securing a number of scaling lad
ders he tent a force by sea to approach as
silently as possible the walls of the the city ,
and to cover this movement ho began an attack
along his whole line , particularly nt Lapapo.
The assailants from the seaside succeeded in
placing many of tholr ladders and a number
of men succeeded in scaling the walls , Had
a sufficient number ot them been successful
before making a demonstration to attract the
attention of the small number of the besirged ,
a triumph would have been secured , but with
characteristic enthusiasm , when about sixty
men had reached the walls , thnv began
the usual "vivas , ' which brought upon
thorn at once the main force of the besieged ,
The result was that the attack by sea was re
pulsed with a frightful loss , the bayonet
machete and knife bjlng the deadly weapons
used. Every man who reached the summit
of the wall was killed or wonudod and many
at the basa who sought to escape by swimming
weio drowned. The losses of Gartau's forces
were nearly COO killed and wounded and of the
loyalists 10 wounded and 0 killed. After the
repulse Gartan withdraw his forces and pro
ceeded to Barrauquilla to await an attack by
the government forces.

BOSTON , Moss , , Jnne 3. A despatch of
yesterday stated that the decision in the
Union Pacific case in the court of claims wag
subjected to an expert to report as to the
amount due , and that the expert's report
made the company liable for $350,000 in addi
tion to 8000,000 already paid. The com
pany's officials in Boston say there is no foun
dation for tha statement about the
experts' reports. When the estimate was
made up by the commissioners of railways
the company , in order not to be in default ,
paid it under protest , the amount being $ 'J17-
000 , and took an appaal , which it is expected
will bo hoard by the court of claims at the
October term. Until then no ono can have
any knowledge as to the amount duo. The
company's expeits expect the commitsioners'
estimate to bo greatly reduced.

OiltcAQO , Ill.t Juua 3. Considerable life
was Injected Into the grain markets to-day ,
the excitement running high nt times , partic
ularly during the middle session , when prices
for wheat were ruling strong and higher , The
fluctuations were wide and rapid , and the
nervousness was attributed In a largo part to
the outcome of the crop situation , The mar
ket rose Ijjo upon reports of the ravages by
the Hessian lly in southwestern Holds , which
was deemed a strong advauco in view of the
recent depression shown by the market , and
it was ascribed to the action of a largonumbor
of boars , who were sent into the panic by
the news and impelled Into covering their
short sales , Outside orders nra reported M
coming from people who entertained the
belief thnt the crop outlook is
particularly gloomy one and that a short crop
moans higher prices than have prevailed dur
ing the present crop year. Cables continue
to quote dull and weak markets. Though
the public advices were indicative of a Httio
steadier fooling abroad , there was very llttlo
demand at the oponimr , and under prUty fair
offerings prices declined io. At this decline
a good speculative demand sprarg up , nnd
with a higher and advancing market at St.
L uis piicoa improved HO. Bad crop news
engendered the Qrst evidences of a "bull"
feeling shown for some time. A decline of go
followed on realizing , but sgaln ndvamed 40 ,
declined Jo and closed on the regular board
jo under yesterday. A sharp attack was
made on the market in the afternoon , and
the close was jo under jrestorday , The ship
ping demand was limited and exports from
the seaboard also continue email.
CORN ,
The trading in corn was active on specu
lative accounts , and there was also a good
shipping demand. The shipments show a
falling off , 318 cars being received against
880 yesterday , and oiving to this fact prices
advanced i@lc ; fell buck c , and finally
closed at about the tame as yesterday ; The
fact of the light stocks made the "shorts"
anxious to cover.
OATS.
There was a decrease in the receipts
of oats and in sympathy with the other mar
kets oats ruled firm and closed i@lo higher
than yesterday.

higher , without any special foatura de
veloping in tie market. Lard ruled 2j@0o

CATTLE.

steady. Butchers' stock wcro steady. Good
cows and heifers yet continue to sell for high

the expected big run of Toxans. Sovt thin
week the ran of Texans has boetv light , and
they have eold at prices that are ; ' paying out.

Odium Alonfe lleeponslblp.
NEW YOKK , June 3 $ A coroner's jury to
day listened to testimony in regard to Prof.
Odium's fatal jump from Brooklyn bridge.
Among the witnesses were Capt Paul Boy-
ton and Coleridga II , Herbert , an Intimate
friend of the deceased. Both declare that ef
forts had been made to dissuade Odium from
attempting the feat , but ho was determined
to make the jump. Ills object , they said , was
tomaka a reputaliom wliloh would enable him
to obtain engagements and give exhibitions
during the summer nt the seaside resorts.
Capt Boyuton said there certainly were no in
ducements held out to the deceased by parties
In this city , Some parties in Philadelphia
who were much Interested In the under
taking might have done so. Just previous to
the night Odium attempted the fent hn was in
telegraphic communication with men in Phila
delphia , and a party was to come on to BOO
the jump. On beating of its fatal termination
they returned homo immediately so tholr con
nection with the affair would not bo made
public. The jury announced by its verdict
that Odium died from injuries caused by
jumping from the bridge , of his own free will.
