The President sent the following nomina tions to the Senate today John l). C. Atkins, of Tennessee, to be Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Orrin I). Mvrick, of Massachusetts, to be Lieutenant ot the Revenue Marine. James 1). Porter, of Tennessee, to be As sistant Secretary of State. The Senate today confirmed the tollowing nominations Martin V. Montgomery of Michigan, to be commissioner of patents. Milton J. Durham of Kentucky, to be first comptroller of the treasury. William (iarrard ot Nevada, to be superin tendent of the mint at (’arson City, Nevada. Joseph R. livan of Nevada, to be coiner of the mint at Carson City.

He will go to Florida for the benefit of his health in a few (jays, leaving Mr. Crosby, the present incumbent of the office, in charge during his absence. Applications for foreign missions continue to pour in at the state departments, and take about the entire time of one man to index a ml tile them. Some of the requests are in regular application form, but manv are con cealed m personal letters to the secretary. A m tj. rity are tor consulships, but the more important offices are not slighted, and manv applications arc made tor the most prominent missions in the gift of the government. It is expected that a number of important foreign i appointments will be made in a few days. The secretary of the treasury has appoint ed Assistant Secretaries Fairchilh and Coon and Assistant Treasurer Graves a commis sion, with instructions to make an examina- j tion of the treasury department, w ith special reference to the simplification and improve ment of the methods of doing business, and to the re 1'ietion and rearrangement of the otfl ial clerical force. Among tfie President’s callers today were Senators Blackburn and Fastis and Gen Burke of Louisiana, Senators Kenna, Har ris, Brown, Hvarts and Farr, Gov. Crosby, Admiral Worden. Gov. Wilson and a delega- 1 tion from West Virginia, Senator Camden, with Mr. Miller, the commissioner of inter nal revenue, Mr. Fvans, Representative Cox. of New Yoik, and other members of the House. The comptroller of the currency b is re ceived information that the Schoharie Coun ty National Bank, of Schoharie, N. Y .closed its doors this morning, and that Bank Fxain iner is investigating its affairs. No particu lars have been received, but Comptroller Can ion says there can be no serious loss to depositors. The Senate, today ratified •an additional article of the Mexican treaty, extending un til May 20. is,so, the time for the approval of j the laws necessary to carry into operation the commercial convention between tne two gov ernment, concluded at Washington, Jan. 25, lss:>. and removed the injunction secrecy therefrom. Misapprehi nsion appears to exist in regard to the Hi- e of chit f «*f the appointment oi vision of the treasury department. The present incumbent ot the office, Mr. Trevett, I tendered is resignation about two week* ago and it was accepted by Secretary Manning to i take effect April l-a and Trevett was granted j leave of absence till that date. In the mean time Eugene Higgins of Baltimore was given a position on the “fraud roll” of the special j agents division and assigned to duty as acting j chief of appointment division, and it is un- 1 derstood that he was promised the office as soon as Treveu’s resignation shall h ve taken j effect. The question has arisen in connec- tion witti this office which is receiving care- ful attention and which in its settlement i* liable to disarrange, or perhaps rearrange, i the civil service rules in relation to offices under the government, and which may pre vent Higgins receiving the appointment to the office for which he has been selected. I The civil service commission holds that only 1 those government offices are exempt from the i provision of the civil service act who arc nominated by the President and confirmed bv the Senate and a few minor cases of of ficials holding positions ot financial or judie I iary nature, yet by rule 19 of the civil service rules “chiefs of divisions or bureaus” are ex mpted from examination. Chiefs of bureaus j are nominated by the President, but chiefs of divisions are not, and right here is the hitch j The apparent inconsi tenev is said to have been the result of the opposition of certain prominent officials under the late administra tion to a thorough application of the civil -ervice law. Chiefs of bureau* in the State department are of equivalent rank with chiefs of divisions in other departments, ami it the j fir«t arc to he exempted it is claimed others should be. Before the close of the la*t ad ministration an effort was made to secure a j uniform classification in all the department* in accordance w ith the contents of the act, as construed by the civil service commission in which chiefs of divisions should be included. If Higgins i* permanently appointed without examination to the office for which he ha* been selected it is claimed it will be in viola tion of the civil service law but yet in per fect accord with the laws as published by the civil service commission. The Star of today, in an article on the sub ject. says It i* understood that the matter had been brought to the attention of Presi dent Cleveland, and lost be ha* expressed j himself d siriuus ot carrying out to the letter i the civil service act without regard to special rules. If this is done Trevett place as i chief of the appointment division cannot be j filled h\ arbitrary appointment. A protni iv nt official remarke i to a Star reporter to day that President Cleveland will immortalize j himself if be straighten* out this .ivil service business. The clerks to the Senate and House Com mitttee* on appropriations have prepared in tabular form a history of the regular appro priation bills passed during the last session of Congress, showing the amount appropria ted by each bill as reported to, and a* finally passed bv each House. The total estimates fur the fiscal year beginning July 1. 1885. were $266,403,181- The aggregate of appro pnation. as reported to the House from its committee oa appropriations, was $219,843. 815. This aggregate was reduced by the House to $218,085,447. The Senate commit tee on appropriations increased the amount to $228,402,055, and the Senate reduced it to $221,177,254. The conference committees further reduced the aggregate to $215,511, 595, Miscellaneous appropriations amount ing to $2,177,648 wefe also made, bringing the total cf the appropriations made for the support of the itorernment for the next fiscal year up to $217.6*9,243 The following are the totals of the respective bill*, as they be came laws: Pension*, $60,000,000; mill;-, tarv academy $310,031; fortifications. $725. 000; consular and diplomatic. $1.242 925; navy, $15,070 837; post-office. $53,700,290; Indian. $5,762,512; army. $24,014,052; leg islative. etc 321.376.708: sundry civil, $26 079.157; District of Columbia. $1,716, 643; deficiency, $4 926.855; agricultural. $585,790. Trie President has accepted the invitation of the veterans of the fir^t and other corps to visit the battlefield of Gettysburg when they make their historical visit there on the 4th and 5th of May. J. H. Stine, historian of the first corps says the governors of the States which furnished troops for that battle are also invited, and so far not a single de clinati* n has been received. Gen. Curtin is anxious to have all of the war governors there, and ex-Govs. Girkwood of Iowa and Sprague of Rhode Island have replied that they are coming with the President and his cabinet, the governors, war governors and veterans of both armies who fought there. It promises to be a notable event. In the Hazen court martial today the judge advocate occupied only ten minutes in sum- j tiling up. He claimed that ill specifications in the charges had unquestionably been sus tained by the evidence, and it rested with the court to decide whether the language used by the chief signal officer in his communica tions to the secretary of war, should be con strued as a breach of military discipline. The c *urr took a short recess and then went into secret session to consider the case. It is understood that at an informal con- j ference of the senators of both parties today it was agreed that the Senate should %dj mm either on next Monday or Tu lay unless ''U veland »h >uld signify his detire that the session b prolonge FOUTY-M till I'O.ViKESS.

sun A rc. Washington, March 20. The chair laid before the Senate several memorials, am*mg them being one from the legislature of Maine, relating to an interna- J tional decision by the high court of rbitra lion. The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Manders m providing for the appointment of a committee of five sent tors to proceed to Alaska to in\« stiga e matt rs relating to the grant of the Territory, was laid before the Senate. Mr. Manderson moved that it be referred j to the committee on territories. Mr Van Wyck severely criticised the ap pointment of a committee which ha 1 nothing to do, citing as an instance, the Central ami South American commissions, which was ap pointed on the 7th dav of January. They I reported for duty in October, and the first they did w as to go to San Francisco, then to New Mexico, then to New Or Mans to see the exposition. An ex member was provided #7500 for expenses. The commission consisted of two men and a hov, for it« chairman remained in Albany. The first thing these two men and a boy lid was to hire a palace car at #35 per day, for which the total payment was #1445, be fore they got to New Orleans. Then they furnished themselves with supplies. The Utah commision boldly charged for lager beer and wme. These commissions charged only for supplies which did not include liquids and solids He would A«k his friends on the re publican side of the chamber if it was noj time to stop About the first of January the commission got ready to start fr m New Orleans.

A dispatch from Suakim to the Telegraph, states that a five hour's battle was fought this morning oetwtvn the British troops and t trees f Osman Digna, and th A Osman l)ig nu’s position was finaliv captured by the British. The di«pst«*h says the Arab losses were very great. in the House ot Commons, today, the; statenu nt that Gen. Lord Wolseley had been appointed Governor of the Soudan, was de- 1 nkd by Lord Edmund Fitzm iur.iv. who ad- »ied he was unable to impart any further in formation. Gen. Graham telegraphs as follows Harken, March 20 3.30 P. M —We moved out from camp at 5.15 this morning, leaving the Shropshire regiment to guard it. On reaching the first hill, at 8.30 this morning, we found the en emy had retired and occupied another hill a mile and a quarter distant After a short halt the Berk-hire and Marines w**re ordered to clear the hill, the Indian contingent and guards supporting. This was done very effectively, the euemv being driven of! the ridge and streaming south towards Tamai, were charged by squadrons of the Indian lancers. The cavalry then re tired toward the guards. Many of the enemy passed the guards at the foot of the hill we-t of Hashen. In the valley these were shelled by the Royal llossee artillery, while other parties moving round our right, were engag d in the brush by the 5th lancers. Meanwhile, Seareba, with four entrenched posts on the hill, is being formed. The advance troops have all returned to this position and will return to our camp, leaving the East Surry regiment, with two Krupp guns, four Gardners, watur killed are 2 officers and 2 men of the British, and 5 Sepoys The wounded arc 2 officers and 2b men of the British, and 1 offi cer and 10 men of tin* Indian contingent. The intantrv behaved with great steadiness. Fhe number of rebels is estimated at 4000. The rebel I >-s is not known, but it is heavy. Fhe engagement lasted five hours. The Arab- carried off all their dead. The wounded natives report that number »*f Osman Digna’s men are deserting, having become disheart* ned. Today’s fighting was of a noticeably differ-! ent character from that of any preceding en-1 gagement. 'Fhe rebels maintained a steady i rifle tire, retiring slowly from each position held by them, and avoiding close quarters StrAkim, March20. I 7 I*. M.—The British troop* have returned to tins point Osman Digna sent reinforce ments, numbering 1000, to Hashen,on Thurs day night, to assist in opposing the British. At the end of the engagement the Arabs retreated slowly towards 1'amai. The Arab loss in killed and wounded was estimated at 000. The loss of the British is 40. The marines drove the Arabs from the hills and forced them to reti’e to the plains. Then the Indian troops charged on the Arab position, hut were outflanked and uesupported. A body of Arabs succeeded in getting behind their line. The Indians found themselves between two fires and fled. During this retreat they were closely pressed by the Arabs, who ham strung the horses and speared the riders. Zengolege fell baek in confusion upon the Knglish infantry and guards, who had been formed in a hollow square, and the square leisurely retired while the Arab* were yell ing that they had regained their lo*t posi tion. At this iuncture the artillerv came to the rescue and a bruk fire of small shot from the machine guns and shell from the Krupp field mortars drove the Arabs from their po sition. The marines maintained a steady firing throughout the engagement, but th® honors of the day are due to the i Irish lancers, who changed the tide of battle bv a desperate charge and retrieved the fortunes of (Jeneral (iraham’s command when they seemed almost hopeless The British troops have returned j to their former camp near Suakim. The British advanced in hallow square, guards on the right, the infantry in front, the i Indian contingent on the left and the cavalry scouting iu front and on the flanks. After seizing Col. Biker s old position on the hill i the troops advance through a pass debouch j mg upon a wide plain encircled by craggy hills of volcanic formation and t >un 1 the i enemy on the hill to the left. Thunders of musketry then began. Theenemv soon re tired, s-»m® to the r ght, but the main ho ly to the left with the intention of cutting the British rear. Tire Bengal Cavalry started to the- km ate this and a desperate fight ensued. The cav alry retired in order to allow the intamry to •end a volley into th® scattered enemy. The \rabs closed up and pursued the cavalry around him, where they wer® met by guard drawn up in a square. The Arabs urged the squar* with yells, bat in the face of the withering fire which was k«*pt up, were una I ble to approach nearer than vithin 20 yvrds of th® line of bayonet*. The guards were perfectly cool, joking among themselves till the moment of the charge. The cavalry re j formed and charged, and scattered the rebel*, who had been reinforced by those from the right- The rebels still showed admirable courage, but appeared to be bewildered. The British followed the fleeing Arabs, pouring a hot fire at every point and never allowing them time to concentrate. By noon all the hills had been cleared of 1 the enemy. The troops were not molested on their return march to Suakim. The total loss of the British, was 11 killed and 42 wounded. Rt'SSlA AND KXU.ASB.

AN 1MIHIR I' %NT TRANSACTION* l'on*olidMtion ot the Go** Narine Iroa Woik* and the New Kngland shipbuild ing C ompany—sketch ol the Origin and Hoik ot The*e Important Concerns. [Correspondence Portland lTe*«. Hath. March 11 In no single transfer of property hive *o many Hath people been interested a* ;n the sale .>f the Goss Marine Iron Work* to the New Kngland Shipbuilding Company. More than 220 persons own share* in the Marine Works, ranging in value from one hundred to sixteen thousand dollars, and a larger por tion of the business men are more or leas in terested either by ownership of stork or 1e pendence m some decree of their bus meat on the atlairs of the two companies. he history of these two concerns i* identi cal with ihe growth of shipbuilding and Im pendent industries in this city, anil the pro gress of marine architecture from sail to stesm and may introduce iu the near future iron in the construction of merchantmen at thta ship building point. Fifty years ago, American tonnage was the best in tne world, the American clipper was the handsomest and staunchest ship afloat. In New York eitv were the busy ship yards of James and George Steers, Win. II Webb, Christian Hcrgh, and thirty more stretching along the Ka*l River from Clinton to 1 hir teenth streets In Boston, Donald M Kay and others had flourishing yards along the Hay for over a hall a mile. In shipbuilding the num ber of men employed reached well up among the thousands and the capital invested amounted to millions. Today in New Yora, not a vestige remains ot this once prosperous industry and in Boston, the ve»aela launched each year amount to h s» than ball a dozen wf the smaller elass. The interest was gradually sinking, when in 1868, Goss Sawyer commemad w rk in their north end yards, offering prices that soon drove from the fit Id the builders of New York and Boston. They could and did build more elu aply owing to the superior facilities of the Kennebec. Acquainted all over (he "United Status, ('apt. Goss procured contracts with parties from ail parts of the country, even trout the Pacific coast In 1882. the firms of Goss A Sawyer, and Goss. Sawyer A Packard, merged into ihti New Kngland Shipbuilding Co., wuh a capi tol of $,~>O0,O00. Steam supersed ug sail in many brandies of the carrying trade. Hie de mand for vi ssels of this class increased until it was thought advisable to build in Hath,in* rine engine woras, to nave the loss in profit by being obliged to send to Boston or New York for engines or boilers, or else have the hulls towed to those places to be fitted with steam power. Under the leadership of Captain Gsss, in 1881, a stock company consisting of un r 200 men representing a major portion of the city's wealth, was tonne.;, ami work com menced on the present Goss Marine Iron Works. In May, 1888, the works started, undtr the management of Mr Reynolds,con structing under ms uiauMgi incut the “Al.Ki," a one llioiisHiid ton sit aim r, huilt tor (lie Or egon Mcriii Improvement Company, by the the New Kngland Ship Huilding Company, the iron tanks for the steam whaler I brash if, be*id« ‘|an engine suitable for a whaler, still in stock.

In July, 188n. Mr Charles K Hyde was selected superintendent, under whose barge great improvcim ill has taken place in the qualify ot work,and economy of management. Mr. Ilydi built for the experimental steamer “Meteor" a triple expansion engine, the first oWlie kind cunstructed outside of Scotland, ami the engine has proved a success, far be yond the expectation of those unacquainted w ith Mr Hyde's ability. During the past winter the work* hive b» en building from original design* of tha superintendent a cotupoud engine for the steamer Haitian Republic, besides restoring the wrecked machinery ot the steamer hi ate ot Maine. It appear* that with one an ption the work done hy the works wa* in connection with that ot tin- New Kngland Shipbuilding Co., hence the reason for consolidation. v\ ah the Goss Marine Iron Work* under its man agement. it is safe to say that no company in the country possesses faculties for the con struction ot hulks of any model, and the tit ting of those hulks with sail or steatu, equal to that of the New Kngland Steamship Com pany. A stockholders' meeting was called last vening, and the preceding sale brought to a t« cus. After a lengthy and exhaustive dis ci ssi >n of the affair* ot both concerns, it was unanimously voted to accept the proffered terms ol the New Kngland .Shipbuilding Company. 1 he proper officer* were in structed to draw up the deed* necessary to a transfer, and in a few day* the property will change hands. It was urged by some of the other builders at this place that under the consideration s tea hots built by any other firm than the New Kngland Shipbuilding Co. would be d.fccrimiuated against in purchasing engines at the works, but liberal term* were prom ised to builder* for all contracts of the char acter, thus making all interests harmonious and removing ail opposition that threatened the consummation of a plan which can but prove of benefit to Hath. Young ami old, rich and poor, are alik<- dependent oa the restoration of our merchant marine on its oid footing and the consequent revival of shipping and shipbuilding, for what place is *o largely interested in the great problem?

'I hr people of tnis country have not yet seen the good times promised by a "change" from a republican to a demo cratic administration. The times have grown worse since Cleveland was elected in November. There has been a reduc lion of employment and a reduction of wages in all parts of the country, and this la still going on though there ought to be improvement at this season of the year if ever. Had Mr. Blaine been eleeled I’resident business would be brisk now and laborers would have had plenty of work at lair wages. The Boston Herald thinks the appoint ment of Higgins should he excused be cause it is such a small place. The Tribune ■jam this remark*. “Let us turn it around a little, and suppose that Mr Blaine had l>e-n elected, amt that he had chosen as hi* Secretary cf the treasury the most un scrupulous political boss to bo found any where in the republican party, and that the immediate outcome of that selection had been the choice ior appointment clerk of the treasury of the most shameless leg islative lobbyist discoverable in any re publican State. What would the reform er* have to sav of the matter then, and with what scathing contempt* would thev have treated the suggestion, if anybody had been silly enough to make it. that the selection ol such a scamp was not of im portance. because he had nothing to do but merely to look alter appointments»" The civil service reform independent Cleveland organ* are terribly mortified about the appointment of Higgin* and are entreating the President to "turn the rascal out.” The New York Time* of Thurs day say* "The new and abundant light that ha* been thrown upon the career of Mi Kugene Higgins, of Baltimore, shows him to be a man of disreputable private lit*?. while in his public activities, a* lobby ist. colonizer of voters, and adept in every form of corruption, he has been altogeth er given over to the most dangerous and abominable political vices. We are confi dent that Secretary Manning must now clearly see that he made a serious mis take in choosing this man as his Appoint ment Clerk, and we but represent the view* and hopes of every sincere well wisher of the Administration in urging the Secretary to correct the mistake with' out delay.

He is 45 year* of age, a Prvsbyterian. and a devoted adherent ot Mr kandall. Mr. Randall quietly whispered a f*rw wor-iv into Mr. Cleveland’* ear and the appointment wav fixed.

Congressman Bayne •aid that the appointment clearly demon strates how potential is the rule of Randall. first Comptroller of thl Treasury. Milton J. Durham, of Danville, Kv., nom inated to be First Comptroller of the Tre*s ury. was born in Mercer County of that State in 1824, graduated at Asbury University at the age of tweotv, studied law in Louisville, and has since practised that profession. As a circuit judge ne had some judicial exper ience in 1861 and 1862 He was elected to Congress in 1872, and was twice re-elected. He entered that body two years before J. Proctor Knott and four before John G. Car lisle He was succeeded bv Philip B. Thomp son, jr recently a candidate for the Com missionship of Internal Revenue. Instead of asking the Kentucky delegation to indorse tiim. he obtained the support of Randall and Hewitt on the score of their old tr endship. Ex-Secretary Bristow also strongly indorsed him. C ommissioner of Patent*. Martin V. Montgomery of Michigan, nom inated to be commissioner of patents, is a lawyer about forty years old. who never held public office before, but who has always tak en a lively interest in politics. He has always been a criminal lawyer. Like Mr. Hay, Mr Montgomery’* name had never been published among the list of candidates, and the half dozen avowed applicant* were not aware of the existence of the man until his name was sent to the Senate. By an understanding arrived at with the democratic leaders in bis State, he is to be the nominee, two years hence, lor Congress in tlth Michi gan district, to succeed Elward B.

Comment by the .»\v York Tribune. The nominations made bv the President yesterday will confirm the belief that this ad mim-tration intends to look after the friends of Samuel .1 Tilden. Mr. Ilav. who was nominated for Kir•*t Assistant Postmaster General, wa* one of the lawyers sent to Florida in 1S7A by Mr. Tilden. Mr Hay is al*-» a stanch friend of Mr. Kind all, which will he of interest to the Kentucky free trader*. inasmuch a* the First Assistant Postmaster-General looks after the appoint ment if over 40.000 postmasters. Mr. Dur ham the nominee f r First Controller of the Treasury appears to ho an average demo crat. When a member of Congress he voted against the resump’ion of specie payments, favored the salary grab, and wanted the de prr offiecs. The nomi nee for C onmissioncr of Patents stems to be eh 1C distinguished for his lack of knowledge com ruing the office.

Morton, aspirant for tin* Au gusta post office; and Kdniund Wilson, who d» sires to he internal revenue collector in Maine. Their friends are trying to find out what the position of the two senators is, having a sort of idea that, for various reasons they will prevent their confirmation. This is probably not true, as, except in special cases, the senators will vote to confirm those who are nominated, provided their moral character is good The row is chiefly be tween the Maine men.who are already fight ing each other with a bitterness that is sug gestive of trouble before long.

First—ragweed in the pasture. This is n frequent cause just now, when cows are fed in stubble or mowing lands. The fla vor given bv ragweed is a disagreeable, intense bitter, quite different from that caused by fermentation of the milk. Second—mildew, imt especially the red spotted mildew, which forms upon the cream in damp cellars, and appears in spots about the size of a split pea. This is caused by the impregnation of the cel lar with spores of the mildew, and is very difficult to get rid of. The only way I have succeeded in doing it is by burning sulphur in the cellar, which is kept light ly closed for a considerable time, until the walls are saturated with it, and after wards by keeping the air dry by means of I a box of freshly-burned lime kept in it until it is air-slaked. Third—keeping the milk too long with out skimming until the whey separates and the cream floats upon it.also by keep ing the cream too long without churning. Thirty-six hours is long enough for either, which makes the cream three days old when it is churned. Fourth—imperfect cleaning of the mi:k pails or the churn, and leaving curd in the seams or corners. Putrid easoine has a hitter flavor, anil very rapidly communi cates the same to milk and cream, appro priating nearly the whole of it. Fifth—the (arrow condition of the cow, and her advanced state of pregnancy, will I cause this trouble. Sometimes the addition of as much pow dered saltpeter as will lie upon a silver three-cent piece, or about five grains, to a six quart pan id' milk, will prevent the bitterness, and to give the cow a dose of two drams a day for a week will have the same efleet. I have found two grains a salicylate of soda to four of quarts of milk will provent mold even in a musty cellar. Hut I am inclined to think that at this season the cause of it, nine times out ot ten. is in the feed, especially if it is af termath or stubble grass. In this case the remedy is obvious—Cor.

The fri I g di y of the w eather,however,did not prevent a party of young men from assembling in .lav street. Schenectady. They were members of the Freshman Class of Union College. They wore long white gowns, white caps, and white masks. Some curried torches, others carried canes. The backs of the gowns were decorated with blac k skulls and cross bones. It is a very old custom at Union that the Freshmen shall cremate some mathemati cal work during the latter part of the second term, and it was to perpetuate this time-hon ored custom that the Freshmeu braved the hitter cold. It is the ambition of every class to burn the text book used bv the professor. It is seldom that the boys are smart enough to get the Processor’s book, although ’87 claims that it reduced Tutor Anable’s algebra 1 to ashes. The Class of *88 w as not so fortu nate. and a well-thumbed book was laid in the coffin. The Continental Drum Corps was band waiting for the funeral proces sion. Marshal Wakeman ordered his compa ny of gt« to form a hollow square about the j coffin, then he gave the order to march. The procession, which was escorted by half a dozen policemen, and many Juniors with big i sticks, began to march. running tire of gg* was kept up by the Sophomores along the whole march. When the egg-* were ex hausted pieces wf snow ami ice were thrown The Fr* shm n kept in fairly good order, and marched up to the college followed by the Sophomores.
