Lamost returned to the city this morn ing. _____ Treasurer Hyatt has gone to New York for a few days. Ordered to Withhold payment of the Strong Award.?Attorney - General Garland has advised Secretary Fairchild not to make any payments out of the award made to Samuel Strong by the board of arbitrators until the claims now pending against the award have been adjudicated by the civil courts. The British Legation.?The State depart ment has been informed that Mr. Edwardes, first secretary of the British legation at \\ ash ington, who has been in London for some time past, has sailed from England for this country. On his arrival in this city he will assume charge of the affairs of the legation and re lieve Mr. Herbert, the second secretary, who has been in charge since the enforced de parture of Lord Sackville in November last. His return at this particular titne is understood by certain officials to mean that there is no im mediate prospect of the appointment of a suc cessor to Lord Sackville. Dakota Indians Coming to Washington.? A delegation from the Turtle mountain Indian reservation, Dakota, passed through St. Paul Saturday on their way to this city. They have been sent bv the council to press their griev ances on the attention of the government. They want some definite arrangement whereby they can have schools mid temporary assistance in becoming civilized. They also have complaints of the trespass of white men on their land and of the manner in which sup plies are dealt out to them. The Mohican. ?Official advices from Mare Island navy yard state that the Mochican has left for Panama. She did not register at San Francisco, and passed out so quietly that she was not seen by lookouts at the entrance to San Francisco bay. Expenditures for Labor at Navt Yards.? The Secretary of the Navy to-day sent a re sponse to the resolution offered by Senator Chandler calling for a statement of the ex penditures for labor in the navy yards for the first six months of the present fiscal year from the appropriations for construction and repair of vessels and for steam machinery. The amount expended from tho appropriation ^ for construction and repair was <s48b,796. The unexpended balance of the appropriation Jnu uary 1 was $259,575, of which ^172,*57 was necessary to meet contracts and requisitions alreadv made. The expenditures from the appropriation for steam machinery was j>l'J5, lo'J aud the unexpended balance of the appro priation on January 1 was $328,741. The Cotton Crop.?The cotton returns of the department of agriculture make the aver age close of picking six days later than last year on account of later maturity and frequent rains. In many counties in the southwest the crop has not ve't been fully harvested. A care ful consolidation of the returns makes the pro portion marketed 84.3 per cent. The staple is shorter than last yenr. and there is more dis colored and trashy fiber. The caterpiller and boll worm have been widely distributed, but their destruction has been greatly limited by insecticides. Seed has been sold at 12 nnd 16 cents per bushel near lines of railroads, mostly bv tenants, the proprietors finding it more valuable for feeding and fertilizing purposes. Secretary Fairchild will not be a resident of Washington long after the change <}f admin istration. Ho is to become the president of the New York security and trust compauy, aud intends disposing of his Washington home. . The Court of Claims to-day rendered judg ment in several cases.

T., have been very efficient during the past year in pre venting the smuggling of opium across the Canadian bord< r, and that their efforts bid fair to result in a total suppression of the traffio.

TUK OKLAHOMA TEBBITOBT BILL. The Senate committee on territories had the Oklahoma territory bill under consideration to day. Chiefs Bushy Head and Harris, of the Cherokee nation, have protested against the passage of the bill, and 11 r. Hay, their attorney, spoke in opposition to the bill.

Senator Paddock to-day presented a petition from Nebraska Grand Army veterans, asking Congress to pass the "Natkmal Tribune service pension bill," "the same being considered as but an act oi simple justice to the soldiers who fought for the preservation of the nation in the war of rebellion." THE DIRECT-TAX BILL. Senator Sherman, on Saturday afternoon, re ported back from the committee on finance the direct-tax bill with a recommendation that the Senate disagree to the House amendment and ask a conference thereon. The motion was agreed to. and Messrs. Sherman, Morrill and Harris were appointed conferees. THE DIPLOMATIC APPROPRIATION BII.L.

The House bill directing the Secretary of the Navy to investigate the claim of the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal company for tolls on vessels?transporting naval supplies during the war?and to award such sum us he may find equitably due, not to exceed $3,742.20, was passed by the Senate on Saturday. THE POST-OFFICE APPROPRIATION HILL, now pending in the House, appropriates $S6, 5DG.344, of which it is estimated that $62.50'}, C5S will be provided by the department from its own revenue. The appropriation for in land mail transportation is an increase of $2. 165,100 over the appropriation of the current year, and this is in part accounted for by the l'aet that the department had st-nt estimates of deficiency of $1,007,500. The increase in the free-delivery system amounts to c'l.OlW.OOO. This is rendered necessary by the laws passed for the classification of carriers, for leaves of absence and for applying to them the eight hour law. But notwithstanding this increase this branch of the service will be more than self-sustaining. There is an increase of $600. 000 in the appropriation for the compensation for post-ofiice clerks.

REAR-ADMIRAL LUCE RELIEVED. Rear-Admiral Gherardi Will Command the North Atlantic Squadron. Rear-Admiral Bancroft Oherardi has been de tached from duty as commandant of the New York navy-yard and ordered to relieve Rear Admiral Luce, commanding the north Atlantic squadron. He will proceed at once to Key West, Fla., where the Galena, the flag-ship of the squadron, is now being repaired. Rear Admiral Luce will, on the 25th of March, be placed on the retired list of the navy on ac count of age. This will promote Commodore George E. Belknap, at present commandant of the Mare Island yard, to be rear-admiral, and Capt. John G. Walker, chief of the bureau of navigation, to be commodore; Commander Silas Casey, light-house inspector, will go up to the rank of captain. No one has yet been ordered as Rear-Admiral Gherardi's successor as commandant of the New York yard, but it is thought likely that Rear-Admiral Daniel L. Braine, now on waiting orders, will be selected. He has just returned from the command of the south Atlantic squadron and will retire in two years for age. TIMBER CUT ON INDIAN LANDS. Strained Relations IJetween Secretary Vilas and Commisioner Obcrly. The question of timber-cutting on thp Chip pewa reservation within the La Pointe agency was expected to come up before a subcom mittee of Indian affairs to-day, but In dian Commissioner Oberly's inability to pre sent the desired correspondence, caused a post ponement until Thursday. An interesting state of affairs is said to exist in the Interior department over this matter. When Indian Commissioner Gberly took charge of the office he directod a suspension of all contracts for cutting timber on the reservation in question, but Secretary Vilas, it is alleged, overruled the commissioner's order, whereupon a very sharp letter was sent to his superior officer by Mr. Oberly. Last spring, after an investigation of the timber-cutting contracts, Agent Gregory re sigued. to take effect when his successor was nominated and confirmed. The successor was not uamed until this session of Congress, und the nomination has not been reported upou. Commissioner Oberly has recommended to the secretary that Gregory bo removed and his of fice be administered by a special agent of the department, but no action has yet been taken on the recommendation. In consequence, it is said, the relations between the Secretary of the Interior and the commissioner of Indian l affairs are somewhat strained. . The School Site Investigation.

London, Feb. 11.?Balfour's reply regarding O'Brien's prison treatment makes the liberals wild. The demonstration yesterday was marred by a snow storm. The rumors of O'Brien's ill health are dubious. An interesting discussion about political pris oners is going on. viz.: What is a political prisoner? Were the Chicago anarchists or the Bussian nihilists political prisoners. Then, if so, the assassins of Cavendish were also politi cal prisoners. The Duke of Argyle discusses the subject. Lord Carnarvon has written an optimist paper on Australia for the next Fortnightly lie view, the result of a visit. He is lost in wonder at its magnificent future. The question of Western Australia is coming up at present. The crown colony land available for emigration is held by the crown. The AVnJy/onJ W ??-Wv pro poses to transfer all their immense habitable tract to 3 j.'JOO colonists, including half the con victs ou Swan river. We may expect a vehe ment protest. From the imperial point of view the project is suicidal. Mrs. Ward has received ?'2.000 from the gale of ''Robert Eilsmere."

HE WTLL SOON WRITE A UTTER ANNOrNCTHO Tllff BE WorLD LIKE TO RECEIVE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION?HE TALKS OX THE LOCAL WI'H UPON WHICH THE CAMPAIGN WILL HE FOUOHT. It is likely that another candidate for state governor will be taken from thi* House. Both the candidates for governor of Indiana last fall were member* of the House, and Mr. Hover's resignation to enter upan his new dutiea was but a short time ago presented to the House. For sometime past Mr. O Ferrall. of Virginia, has been receiving letter* from various part* of the state ni ;iug him to permit the u*e of his name before the nominating convention for the successor to Gov. Lee. In the plan to break up the solid south the republican- are looking forward to the election of a republican to succeed Oovernor Lee. and one of the hottest campaigns of the state is expected this fall. Every possible effort will be put forth by the republicans, who are very hopeful of success. Etch party is looking for a strong candidate. William Lamb, of Norfolk, the confederate hero of Fort Fisher, formerly mayor of Norfolk, is spoken of as the repub lican candidate. Mr. O'Ferrail ha* decided to let his name go before the democratic convention, and is about to write A LETTER ANNOUNCING THE FACT. To a Star reporter he said to-day; "For the last two months or more I have been receiving many letters from different parts of the state urging me to become a candidate for the nom ination. or at least annouuee my willingness to accept the nomination. Many of these letters have been of the most assuring character, and from aoiue of the most prominent democrats ia the state. My duties in Congress have beeu ao absorbing that 1 have had little time to devoto to the dbnsideration of this important ques tion, and I have been undecided as to ray course until almost this moment. Duo courtesy to my friends demand* a decision at my hands, and 1 will announce it. To be the governor of auv state in thia uuiou is aurely a very high and dir.tinguit.hed honor, as well aa a position of great dignity and re sponsibility, but in my opinion it is a position above all others which should seek the maa, and no man could, with honor to himaelf, enter into any scramble for a nomination which might lead to it. 1 do not conceal the fact that if my party service and public record, which ia an open book, should be regarded by my people as making me worthy of the democratic nomi nation. and the convention when it assembles should consider me able to carry the flag to victory and confer upon me the nomination, I should be proud, indeed, and would accept and strive with might and main, soul and body, to preserve democratic supremacy in Virginia, upon which depends everything that we hold sacred and dear." IN THE HANDS OF HIS FRIENDS. 'Then your name will go before the conven tion.''" asked The Star reporter. ??I shall place myself in the hands of my friends and at the disposal of the democratic party, and if my friends see proper they will nave my consent to use my name, and the dem ocratic party can do with me as it may in its wisdom determine." "Do you think the fight in the stats will be a close one?" "I think the fight will be hard and bitter, but I have no doubt of our success if we caa fully arouse our people to its importance and get them to the polls." He said he thought the campaign would be conducted for the most part in joint debates and would be a hot one. He prefer* this sort of a campaign in the white districts, bat says that in the "black districts" there is very little influence in argument, and it becomes a waste of strength. the tariff to the rear. He says the issues of the campaign, upon which will be determined whether Virginia la going to break away from the solid couth or not. would be principally local state issues, "and the national tariff question will be relegated to the rear for the time being." He said he thought the democrats would de clare against any interference with the state debt, and any increase of taxes; pronounce ia favor of "maintaining to the fullest extent oar public school system and our institution* of charity, and against everything that has marked the slimy wav* of Mahoneism. ' He thought the contest would le . ggreasive aad energetic and would begin v-Hy. "The republican*." he said, "will, in my opinion, do all ia their power to compass oar defeat, bat they so ex hausted themselves last fall I do aot believe they will be able to raise any targe sum to send into Virginia. But I do not care what they may do in this direction, we can carry thei' aad elect ( will if we pursue the right coarse. ^An active, vtgor people aa to pat vtetotr beyond a doubt.
