WASHINGTON,

June

27.—By

a sweep

ing general order issued to-day, Secretary Tracy directed an entire reorganization of the business methods of the navy department. Succinctly stated, the secrotary*8 reasons for making the order are as follows: Up to this time, the new equipments and new duties constantly arising from the conditions of change, incident to the replacement of the old wooden, veeeelswj$h„ ^Bhipfr at»d gflne, "have been assigned here SAd there to the several bureaus of the department often with no better reason than the convenience of the moment. The result has been confusion and an exaggeration of the defects of the bureau system. Duties which have no connection have been placed together, and those naturally associated have been divorced. Supply has been complicated and expensive.

Electric lighting, for example, has been claimed by three bureaus. The training of officers and men, apart from the independent establishment of the naval academy, has been divided between an equal number, and there has been no officer to control and detail the personnel as a whole, both i-officers and men, and to receive and transmit the correspondence of the fleet.

Secretary Whitney realized the evils of the system and made an effort to change them, but was obliged, from the magnitude of the task and paramount importance of concentrating his energiee upon the procurement of new ships and guns to abandon the task. Secretary Tracy, however, now says that the time is ripe for further change, and has accordingly issued the new order. Itenlargee the duties of some of the bureaus, notably those of the bureau of equipment.

WHITE HOUSE SUMMKR.

Visitors Go Home ami Write Letters to the President. WASHINGTON,

June

falling off in the number of visitors at the White house, due doubtless to the hot weather, the mail received at the executive mansion is increasing. The letters have increased in number quite perceptibly the past few weeks, and now nearly rival the volume received at the beginning of tbe administration, when they surpassed all precedent. .There is apparently no vacation near for the clerks at the White house. ThiB morning President Harrison was kept busy, although he saw comparatively few per-

flop 8,

Secretary Proctor called at 9 o'clock and remained for an hour and a half. It is supposed that the succession to the vacancy in the corps of assistant adjutant generals was one of the topics of discussion. Secretary Proctor gave way to Vice President Morton, who claimed the attention of President Harrison for -more than half an hour. This is Mr. Morton's first visit to Washington since his departure after the adjournment of 'the senate. New York affairs, doubtless, were considered during tbe conference.

This impression was strengthened by the appearance later at the executive .mansion of Senator Hiscock and Repre'sentatives Flood, Sawyer and Baker, all of New York, who saw the president during the morning. Besides these, Senator Spooner of Wisconsin, Representatives Owen and Browne of Indiana, Struble of Iowa, and toalegate Carey of Wyoming calied.

Among the president's other visitors were General R. C. Cheneck, accompanying Mr. Nye. of Chioago, who came to urge the appointment of Mr. Charles Ham as collector of the port of Chicago. '-."• The usual publio reeeption at

FREMONT,

June

27.—A

few extracts

are given from a few of the letters arriving to-day: General W. T. Sherman writes as follows: "Were it not for the fact that I long since committed myself to Denver for the 4th of July, I should come to Fremont to demonstrate my great reepect for you and love for her memory, but as it is, I can only trace on paper a few words of sorrow and ask a place in that vast procession of mourners who would, if possible, share with you that burden of grief." Senator Allison, of Iowa, writes as follows: "I trust that my long personal acquaintance with Mrs. Hayes and my appreciation of her genial and noble qualitiee of heart and mind it is sufficient for me to express to you my deep sympathy with you in your great loss." General Alger telegraphed .from San Francisco:

uBe

assured you have

the sympathy of Mrs. Alger and myself in your hour of affliction. A very sympathetic letter was received from the Hon. Carl Schurz, and another from George William Curtis.

There has been a little difficulty in reconciling the wishes of theHayee family with the desires of the citizens of Fremont SB to the arrangements for the obsequies to-morrow. The latter desire to teetify their unstinted admiration of and affection and sympathy for Mrs. Hayes, by a grand publio demonstration at the funeral. General Hayee is a member of the order of Odd Fellows, and the brethren desired to attend in full regalia with a representation from the order of Fremont and this entire section of Ohio. The various temperance organizations, Woman's relief oorpe and other civic orders were snxiouB to join in a great publio demonstration on the occasion, but the wishes of General Hayee were paramount and it was decidea that no order except the Grand Army should turn out as an organization to-morrow. The members of Eugene Rawson post, with volunteers from the other G. A. R. organizations of this section, will act as a guard of honor. After the services they will act as an cscort to the cortege to Oakwood cemetery, where the interment will take place. There will be an entire cessation of businses in Fremont, the banks, business houses and manufacturing establishments all closing. Many to-night announce by placard that they will be cloeed the entire day. The funeral service will be held at Speigel grove, the Hayes residence, instead of at the church. In

a ace with General

Hayee' request all the Evangelical ministers in.the city will have apart in the exeroisee.

Sheriff McCandlesB, of Pittsburg, Colonel Hudson and others waited on General Hastings this morning with a view of having a day appointed for the purpose, but as yet the general has given no decision. The faot that very many of the unfortunates here, known or unknown, were buried without service has led to the suggestion which is popular among the people here, eepeoially among the state omoere, who are anxious to take part in the affair before leaving.

At an informal meeting of the Masonic fraternity of JohnBtown and Cambria City, last night, it was decided to close their relief stores and wind up the distribution of Buppliee to Masonio families. The two lodges have about twelve thousand dollars for distribution among familiee here.

June

27.—The

grand jury

took anew tack in the Cronin case today and once more a tar ted into look up Alexander Sullivan'a speculation. Messrs. Scnwartz & Dupee were subpoenaed to bring their books into the grand jury-room for inapection. It ia believed that in this way light will be thrown upon features of Alexander Sullivan's spsculating record which have hitherto eaoaped scrutiny. Ths actions of the police indicate that some arreets are about to be made. Someone is reported to have "squealed," the police refuse to aay who, and rumor has it that the dragnet ia about to land some of the conspirators high and dry. Detective Palmer aaya John F. Bsggs was arrested to prevent his holding communication with the outsids world. It is claimed Begge had been vieiting members of the alleged tri-committee and it waa thought that he had put a flea into the ear of more than one of the committee.

Among other witnesses before tbe grand jury were a man named O'Malley, J. S. Ryan, who said he was not a Clanna Gael Pat Dolao, the saloonkeeper Frank Scanlan, M. F. Brady, the North Side milkman Wm. Kelly, JohnMuldoon and several Ctan-na-Gael people. It waa said shortly before that the grand jury had determined on returning five indictments to-day, but aa yet they have not done ao.

It seems that a messenger boy in fievell's, who waa preeent when Simonda bought the furniture, subsequently saw'Begga on the street, and thought he recognized him as Simonds.

ported to be the names of the men wbo formed the trial committee, and who formally decreed the death of Cronin aa a British spy. The writer aaid he himBelf had been a member of the trial committee* but had withdrawn when he became convinced that the doctors death was intended. The state'a attorney in his advertisement-, stated that if the writer of the letter would meet him and tell what he knew, he would be given protection. The anawer was received to-day and said that the writer was willing to accept the propoeition to tell all he knew, ne would meet tbe atate's attorney at a time and place selected by the latter.

AULKDTHROUQR THE STREET IN THE PATROL WApOK.

Carelessness in Obtaining the Description of a Gypsy Woman Wtoo Waa Wanted-

A few daye ago tbe patrol wagon wee called to the north end on oomplaint ot aome ladies living in that part at the ettjr of a gypey woman who was ftequenting the neighborhood in aearcb ot thoee wboae fortunea abe avoU^falata.

would collect a crowd about her, and oatch the children, who would join the ourious,

and 'ahake and

choka them. The petrol wagon waa drivsn to the neighborhood- by Patrolman McNutt, and was accompanied by Secretary Dwyer and Patrolman Lyona. Arriving at the scene, they were directed by the ladiea saying that the gypsy had juat crossed the street. The description of the gypey es sent into headquarters was a woman wearing a bonnet and her hair hanging down. The department did not await further description by telephone,, nor did they ssk further description from the ladies who dirscted them to follow the gypsy across the etreet. The trouble occurred on north Sixth street and the wagon went wast to Fourth street and while passing a msat shop there saw a woman in the ahop wearing a bonnet and her hair hanging down. That was sufficient. The wagon waa backed up to the sidewalk and Patrolman Lyona, entering the ahop, informed her that ahe must accompany -him to learn whether she was the one wanted. She waa taken into the wagon, driven several blocka through the streets, the gong of the wagon being sounded at a treat crossinga and the horse being driven at a rapid pace, of course, and thus attracting much attention to the priaonera. Finally the wagon brought up in the neighborhood where the

gypsy

bad choked the children, and the comning ladies exclaimed that the police arrested tbe wrong person and that the priaoner was their neighbor. It then dawned upin the officers that they had arrested a respectable lady instead of a gypey, and that they had taken the first one they aaw wearing a bonnet and her hair hanging down. They realized that they bad not obtained a deecription of the woman wanted, and offered apologiea without limit. Tbe ladiea wbo had made the complaint then aaid that they had telephoned to the office that the gypsy woman wore a red dress. The police officers had not heard that before, they aaid, but had left the office before the complete deecription of the gypey had been given. The result of their haste to capture a prisoner wss that they had arrested a respectable lady, againet whom there could not have been a word of complaint, and had taken her through the streets in day time in the patrol wagon. The interacting part of the incident for the police force waa to come. The lady'a felingB had been injured. Naturally ahe waa anxioua to have redress and her husband was equally anxioua to have the wrong righted. She stated her complaint to an attorney and aought to enter suit against the city, but was informed that not the city, but the officer who made the arreet, was liable. In her statement to the attorney she said that she was purchasing a steak in the meat Bhop, when the officer approached her and informed her that ahe waa wanted. She was surprised, and knew that he waa mistaken in the parson, and Baid: "Mr. Lyons, you know me and know where I live. I am buying a steak, and have lone nothing." She says he answered ihat he would beefsteak her, and again told her to accompany him. Mr. Lyons, on the other hand,-ssys that he heard her make no such statement in tbe meat ahop, but that when ahe waa in tne patrol wagon ahe said something frequently but he could not understand what she said. He also says that the reason they had left the offioe without waiting for the complete description of the gypsy, was that the wagon had pulled out of the shed and that they did not want to keep it waiting in the atreet. Yet it doee not appear that the meat market man had been asked whether he knew her nor does it appear that the officers had requested her to refer to some one who could identify her. While the Buit'against the city was being considered time was afforded tbe police force to assure the lady and her husband that the arrest was a mistake, and that under the circumstances it waa unavoidable. By dOnaiderable talking by Superintendent Stout, Captain Murphy, Secretarv Dwyer and Patrolman Lyons, and by appeala to the tiea of friendabip that had bound them and her husband for years, the husband and wife were persuaded to drop the matter, and that ended it Superintendent Stout said that such things frequently occur, but that they are of less moment, usually, because the false arreets are of men, not women, and that they are not always made in the light of day. The police board has received no nfflmal notice of the occurrence. Secretary Dwyer has also kept in the background in the matter, while he, aa a superior officsr, and being with the patrol wagon, would be suppoeed to have guarded against any such mistake by the patrolman.
