WASHINGTON.

The Navy Department does not look with favor on the proposition to have the historic warship Constitution take part in the Dewey demonstration at New York. The Secretary of the Treasury has authorized the commencement of condemnation proceedings to secure lot 36, in Indianapolis, for the erection of a public building. Two designs for a new $5 silver certificate have been submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury by the bureau of engraving and printing. One has upon its face a vignette of Washington and the other of Jefferson. The constitutional dispute over the Car nadian Senate’s rejection of the Government’s redistribution bill, which was submitted by Charles Russell, English solicitor to the dominion, to eminent English counsel, has been decided against the Senate. Maj. A. E. Woodson of the Ninth cavalry has tendered his resignation of the agency of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians at Darlington, Ok., a position which he has held for nearly six years. Gen. Charles King, retired, is mentioned as his probable successor.
