THE DANGER OVER. * If There In no More Rain the Dam at Flalnfield Will Hold. PuncmtD, N. J., Ang. The fears which the people of this place entertained of the big <!am back of the city breaking loose and letting the mighty body of water contained h^ths res ervoir rnn down npon them with fatal effect, hare almost subsided to-day. At 7 a.m., the water in the reservoir had gone down twelve inches. A large force of men cut a raceway through the sluice which helped largely to decrease the volume of water. If there is no more rain it is thought the dam will hold. There has been no rain since last night and early this morning the wind shifted to the northwest and the clouds broke awny. Families living along Green Brook have forsaken their homes for fear of a repeti-4 tion of the Johnstown disaster. At 10.30 the chief of police returned from the wateh at the dam and on the mountains and reported all danger past An examination of the dam aa far ax the circumstances would permit was made and no breakage was discovered, although a number of weak spots were found at the main outlet* for the water.

Negotiations are said to be now pending for the purchase of the Kansas Pacific branch of the Lnion Pacific from Kansas City to Denver. This would give the Alton through connection from Kansas City to Cheyenne on the Union Pacific. The Union Pacific would bv this arrangement get the business of the Alton. The Alton people will say nothing in regard to the matter, but the possibility of the purchase of the Kan sas Pacific was strongly suggested by an official yesterday. Should the sale be made to the Altou it will be a severe blow to the Interstate Commerce railway association and will hasten its demise. It will be a bitter pill for the rivals of the Alton, whose strongest card has been that the Alton has no line west of the Missouri river. The Documents Came from London.

A Host of Callers at the White House To-day. cabinet ministers, miotim or conobess and all other classes or noru amoko the TISITOM?TUB SEAL HIUII FLCBBT?POBA ub's chances, Km The President to-day hsd an opportunity to do penance for any idling he may have done at Deer Park. He had a chance to discover also that desire for office doee not grow cold from waiting and that importunity gains force from being restrained. He had almost as many callers to-day as at the time of the first flush of the office seekers' ambition. Old facet that have not been seen in Washington for two or three weeks suddenly appeared at the White House. Hen and women, white and colored, in delegations and singly, distinguished and unknown?even an Indian among them?called to have their various says. Both the President and Secretary Halford were kept busy daring the whole morning until x o'clock. VOIXIKI CALLUS. The first part of the morning the President devoted to conferences with membsrs of the cabinet individually. The first to appear was Secretary Proctor, who has Just returned and had considerable to talk about with the Presi dent concerning his department. Then Secretary Rusk called. He got through with his business in a brief space and left early. Secretary Tracy called with 8enator Hiscock and the two talked about the New York offices that are yet waiting to be filled with republi cans. When Mr. Hiscock left he said nothing had as yet been accomplished. Mr. Tracy had other matters to talk over with the President and lingered after the Senator had gone. He says he is not thinking anything about THE BEHRINQ SBA AFFAIR. , There are two naval vessels and two revenue cutters out there and he thinks they ought to be abie to handle the "pirates" in the home of the fur seal. There seems to be no anxiety about what England may say concerning the capture of the sealers, for the reason, doubtless, previously given in The Stab, that England's commercial interests in the seal trade are too great for her to seek the destruction of the breed. The Attorney Qeneral, Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson and Assistant Secretary of State Wharton called each in turn. Mr. Whar ton was accompanied by Mr. Solomon Hirsch, tho new Turkish minister. Senator Paddock reached Washington last night with a gripsack full of matters local to Nebraska he wanted to call the President's at tention to. It took pretty fast talking to get through with all he had to say, and the Presi | dent was not impatient, either. Representative Williams of Davton, Ohio, I called the President's attention to s'everal little matters in the way of distributing patronage that ho thought would assist the republicans In carrying the legislature. He said that there was HO TROUBLE ABOUT FORAKER8' ELECTION; that they would get a majority of 12,000, but | that there would be more of a fight for the leg islature. There is where the danger lies, he said, but If the right thing is done here it will fix matters all right. Mr. W illiams expects to see McKinley made Speaker of the House and Murat Halstcad chosen to a seat in the Senate?if the right thing is done and the legislature saved. Representative Struble of Iowa and Repre sentative Peele of Indiana had matters of more or less importance to talk about. A DELEGATION FROM ALABAMA headed by Mr. Mosely, chairman of the state committee, called to urge the appointment of Gilbert 8. Bell as inspector of steamboats for the tenth district. Mr. Bell has tho endorse ment of all tho republican committees of the states in the district except that of Louisiana, and the approval of that committee is promised. PROF. JOHN K. LANQSTON spoke a good word for H. C. C. Astwood, who wants to be restored to his old place as consul at Sau Domingo, and left some strong endorse ments. He talked also about Virginia affairs and came away in an excellent frame of mind. '?We'll have a harmonious convention at Norfolk," he said, "and nominate the best man to be found?one to command the support of white and black, and we'll carry the state by 20.000. Everything is in as good shape as could be." This spirit of satisfaction or strong hope seemed to have entered into all who talked with the President to-day. He was in a most genial mood. HOPE DEFERRED. The President, Secretary Windom, and Pri vate Secretary Halford returned at 5 o'clock last night, and it was reported at once that several appointments were to be made before bed time. When none came last night, they were looked for in great numbers this morning. It was no secret at the White House that these appoint ments were on their way, but up to 2 o clock they had not come off the President's desk. Among the untitled callers to-day were Allen C. Burton of Mitchell, Ind., T. F. Lee of North Carolina, Samuel McKce of Lamsville. Ky., Rev. It. B. Herron, pustor of the First Presby terian church, John Felemer, and Paul Dock stader, a representative of the Oneida Indians. Assistant Secretary Tlchenor III. Assistant Secretary Tichonor was taken sud denly ill in hts office in the Treasury depart ment this morning and had to be removed to his home for treatment He has been in bad health for a long time and has worked a great deal harder than his friends think he should have done. Since his return from New York he has undertaken to dispose of all the tariff problems which have been presented since the change of administration, and. in his debili tated condition, the task proved too much for him. He camo to the office about 8:15 o'clock i this morning and started in to do a big dav's work, but he had been at it fifteen minutes only when he was stricken down. His princi j pal trouble is rheumatism in an acute form, but it is complicated with other ailments. Everybody Wants a Position. "My business moves along without advertis ing," said Public Printer Palmer to a Stab re porter this afternoon as he wiped the perspi ration off his brow and bowed an applicant out of the office at the same time. "The rush of callers continues without abatement," said he. Everybody want?a position and wants it immediately." Tipping In China. Consul A. C. Jones at Chin Kiang, China, in a report to tho State department of an official visit to Nan King, makes the following state ment: "On my departure I had to conform to an other custom, no less obligatory, which was to fee everybody from the two madarins in at tendance to the guides, conductors and coolies who accompanied one evervwhere, to the amount of sixtv-fi ve Mexican dollars. I merely mention this that the department may be fully informed of the customs of China, and as my visit was an official one, to have it allowed to me if deemed necessary and proper." The Violet as the National Flower. Secretary Tracy recently received a letter from a grandson of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence suggesting the adoption of the violet as the national flower. He also suggested that a wreath of violets be pot around the field on the national flag. Con tinuing, he gave as his reason for his choice the fact that the color violet is a union of red white and blue, and he would nut the wreath on the flag as a symbol that the Union should always remain "inviolate." Appointed Assistant Astronomer. Prof. Asaph Hall, astronomer at Yale college, has accepted the appointment as assistant astronomer at the naval observatory and has entered upon the discharge of his duties. Prod. Hall is a graduate of Harvard and has been a member of the Yale faculty for several yean. The Hahpeh Cass.?Attorney General Miller laid the papers in the Harper dm before the President this morning. The latter said that he would not take up the matter until his re tarn from Bar Harbor. Railroad Ticket Rate*. Cincinnati, Aug. 1?The rate to Chicago to now t5 on all roads running between Cincinnati and Chicago. There is a suggestion that the Pennsylvania road violates the taut and short haul elause of the law by charr ing from Hamilton to 'chtaSL which is 2S miles shorter distance than from Cincinnati, but the Pennsylvania meets that charge by the fact that the ""^'Vrn ticket is unlimited while the Cincinnati ticket is limited to. continuous jon^MtLl^s train.

The brigadier general -commanding congrat ulate* the national guard upon the result* of their first annual encampment, and thank* the officer* and men for the cordial oo-operation which made thoee result* possible. In many respects the encsmpment was a sur prising success. The good order which pre vailed and the intelligent appreciation of the neceaaity of aubmitting to discipline, were com monable. The aptitnde with which inexperienced men accommodated themselves to the discomfort* and deprivation* of a first encampment waa gratifying. The eagerness with which they sought information and the will ingnese with which they received in atruction were wonderful. The stead iness they exhibited on drew parade and guard-mounting would have done credit to veteran*. Their observance of the form* of military eonrteay and their quick acquirement of a knowledge of the duties of sentinels, were phenomenal.

The Case Involving tbe Validity of the Police Regulation a* to Pawnbroker*. This afternoon in the Police Court the case of P. C. Merry, the junk dealer in Georgetown, charged with failing to keep a book of record* of article* purchased, in violation of the police regulations, which has been continued a num ber of times, aa heretofore published in The Stab, waa called to the attention of Judge Miller. Mr. Shillington appeared for the Dis trict and Mr. W. A. Cook for the defendant. Mr. Cook opened hia argument by referring to section 4, article 1 of the police regulations, and was making his argument when this report was closed. The argument was in support of the position taken by the defense that the police regulations were made without authority of law; that they are unreasonable and there fore unconstitutional. ON THE RIVKR BANK. Two Georgetown Youths Have a Lively Scrapping Match. The banks of tlje Potomac are likely to be come noted for something besides their beauty and that is as a resort for fighters. Yesterday afternoon a "scrap" occurred on the Virginia aide of the river upon a secluded spot between two young men of Georgetown named Arthur Tribby and Frank CoggawelL It is learned that the two young men were not on good terms, and it was decided to settle their difference in the ring. Therefore tbe principal* of thia little affair, with about a dozen friends, took one of the upper river steamers and made a landing at Holtzman's for the purpose of fighting there, but the proprie tor refused to permit them. GUIDE AND REFEREE. Billy McMillan, who was about at that time, consented to accompany the party to a safe wood and act aa referee and time-keeper. It took bat a ahort time to get to work, both atripplng to the waist. It was agreed by the t?/> novices that the Marquia of Queensbury rules would do for them, as they did not care to be kicked or bitten. Advancing to the center of the impromptu ring the contestants, with fierce looks and blanched cheeks, shook hands and the fight began. For four rounds did they fight earnestly without much regard to the rules they had chosen. xrar liee job* l. It was in this round that Coggswell injured the thumb of hia right band by a blow dealt upon Tribby's head, which so pained him that he remarked that he wna willing to call it aquare. At the same time Tribby seemed to second this almoat inaudible remark by going to hia corner for his shirt. He was quick, how ever, to see a conclusion in faror of himself by coming to the scratch again, declaring that he was willing and anxious for the fight to go on. A failure of the otber combatant to come to time gave Tribby the fight WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Battery I, third artillery. Capt. Myrick, has arrived at Fort Monroe from Baltimore. Thy U.S.S.

Assistant Secretary Bnaaey haa affirmed a former rejection of the pension claim of John C. Abbott, late of Com pany B. third Illinoia artillery. It ap pears that the claim waa rejected by the pen sion bureau after a special examination, for failure of proof, and that, on appeal, that ac tion was affirmed by the department November X, 1887. The attorney in the caae state* that the facta were then laid before Congress at ita last ses sion and a bill introduced to place the claimant on the pension roll*. This bill passed the Senate and was favorably reported by the House committee, but iu the confusion of the Last days of the session failed to pass. He thinks that under these circum stances the bureau of pensions or the Depart ment of the Interior could reopen and allow the claim. KOTHIWO TO DO WITH THE CAR*. The aesist&nt secretary, in hia decision, ssys; "If it is meant by this that because a bill to pension the claimant was favorably con sidered by Congres* the claim ahould be al lowed under the general laws, the attor ney is in error. The invariable condition of the allowance of a claim under the general laws relating to pensions (by which alone the action of the department is governed) is that the disability for which the pension ia allowed must have been contracted in the service and in the line of duty. The requirement of proof upon that point is one which the department has no authority to waive, no matter now high the character of the claimant as a man ana a soldier, bow great his disability. or how preas ing his needs. Congress is HAMPERED BY 2(0 8CCH LIMITATION. It is subject to no restriction* in the allowance of pensions, except such as it chooses to im pose upon itself. It may accept evidence of good character, faithful service, and present suffering aa a sufficient atonement for anv defect in the proof as to the origin of the disability, which the department cannot do. It is thus able to remedy occasional instances of hardship occurring uuder the faithful application of laws which are ample for the administration of Justice in the great majority of cases. I have considered the evidence with a view to seeing if there i* any error of law or mistake in fact underlying ths decision of my predecessor which would justify me in overruling it but I can tiud none." DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. coNrrsio* i* the hot-be xrxurM. For a long time past the residents on Boundary street between Massachusetts avenue and 8 street have been troubled over ti e con fusion and inconvenience that has been caused by the fact that the numbers on their house* are wrong.

These numbers, they tay, are practically useless now. and a* a means but of the difficulty they suggest that Boundary street between Massachusetts avenue and 8 street be known as Hamilton place and the house* numbered accordingly.

The Contract for Cleaning the Alleys. Health Officer Townsliend called upon the Commissioners to-day to inquire about the con tract for cleaning alleys. It will be remembered that some time ago when bids were invited for this work there was but one bidder. Thi* bid was rejected by the Commissioners on the ground that the price asked wa* too high. The advertisement inviting proposals was again printed and Mr. Hodge, the old con tractor for the work, was the only one who submitted a bid. The matter is still in the hand* of the Com missioners. Recently Dr. Towushend recom mended that the work be done by day labor as the result was more satisfactory and not aa ex pensive. The old contract for cleaning alleys ran out at the beginning of the new fiscal year, and since that time the work has been done by day labor. , , Dr. Townshend to-day again urged the ne ceaaity of immediate action. The Commis sioners will take action next week. Mrs. John V. Olmstead Dead. Mrs. Katie H. Olmstead, the wife of Mr. J. F.
