Eight of the crew of the bark Atlantic, Capt Kranalu, which arrived yesterday from Bull River, S. C, have been landed at Fly mouth, sick with scurvy. WASHINGTON. The Safe Burglary Cass Becoming Exciting Babcock Involved Ugly Eumors About Bristow They Say He has Besigned and He Denies. Washington, D. C, April 7. Gossip: The safe burglary examination is be coming very exciting. This was a conspiracy to rob the safe of the Dis trict Attorney and place the contents in the possession of Columbus Alex ander in order .to connect him crimi nally with the transaction. It was a mock robbery, and the papers taken to Alexander's house were worthless. Some ex-officials those who escaped by a hung jury two years ago are tell ing thewhole story. Whitley implicates Gen. Babcock. There are wild rumors that Bristow has resigned in consequence of Hen derson's testimony, in which Bristow is made to say that he had no confi dence in the administration. Bristow left suddenly for Kentucky a few days ago. Some of Bristow'a friends say he has only gone for his health, but it is singular that he had no idea of such a trip before Henderson testified. Great looseness, to say the least, is developing in the management of the Government printing office. Assist ant Secretary Burnham says that Bris tow will be here Monday or Tuesday. He went West on pressing private business. Louisville, April 8. Bristow him self says there is no truth in the rumor of his retirement. MASSACHUSETTS. Military Preparations for the Fort Moultrie Centennial. Boston, April 8. A meeting of the Boston Light Infantry was held last night, to perfect arrangements to at tend the Fort Moultrie Centennial at Charleston, S. C. The plan is for the command to leave Boston Avith 30 guns forNewYork.where they will then join the Old Guard with 30 guns, and pro ceed to Charleston by steamer. After the celebration, these commands, with two companies from Charleston,will re turn to New York and rendezvous at thehippodrome.There theBostonLight Infantry will be joined by 300 more guhs, and with full ranks the seven companies, including two Sonth Caro lina companies will on the 3d of July, take a special train to Philadelphia to jein the Contennial legion. The New England division of the legion will be under the command of Gen. Burnside. It is calculated that it will take 15 days to carry out the programme. Mid-Night Dispatches. WEATHER PROBABILITIES. .Washington, April 8. For the South Atlantic States, north east winds, stationary temperature, cloudy and rainy weather and falling barometer will prevail. FOREIGN. Russia Likes Empress of the Indies The University Boat Race. London, April 8. A telegram from St. Petersburg says, that Bussia recog nizes the fitness of the Empress of the Indies, and will, immediately after the issue of Queen Victoria's proclamation declaring the title, give an official ex pression of this view at London. The warm bright , sun resembled an American Mayday. Since dawn, un precedented crowds have been flocking from every direction. The betting was 3 to 1 in favor of Cambridge. Both crews were in splendid form. , Cam bridge was universally admitted the fastest, but some good judges think Oxford's staying powers are superior. From the quantity of light blue dis played by the crowd, it is evident that Cam bridge is the favorite of the m asses. Oxford winning the choice, took the middle six sides; start 2,2,17. Cam bridge was away first, rowing 37 strokes per minute, very steadily. Oxford commenced with 35 Cambridge drew away in the first quarter mile, but at the craven point, Oxford decreased the lead to a quarter of a length, each crew rowing 33 strotes. Both quick ened slightly. The crab tree mile, and a furlong from the start, were reached at 4-58. Both crews now settled down to steady work. Hammersmith bridge, 4; furlongs farther reached 8.31, with Cambridge a clear length ahead. At the Hammersmith bridge, Cam bridge was still further ahead and the race was virtually over. Cambridge row ed steadily ahead,increasing the lead at Chiswick church to two and a half lengths. At Boone's, Oxford made a last struggle increasing her stroke to 40, but the boat did riot answer to this spurt and Cambridg, quickening her stroke slightly, kept fully 3 lengths. Barnesbridge, 3 miles from start, was reached in 16.48, from whic'i point the boats rowed uniformly to the ship, which was reached at 2.22, 3.62. Ox ford eased up just before firing, but Cambridge really won by a little over three lengths. WASHINGTON. Robeson in Philadelphia Call for Hew Estimates Another Scoun drelism Uumearthed More of the Safe Burglary The Congression al Printer in Trouble. Washington, April S. Secretary Robeson has beca in Philadelphia since Thursday. The naval investiga tion commences there on Monday with closed d oors. The Committee on Military Affairs of the House, have called on Secretary Taft for new estimates for the ensuing fiscal year. They have Belknap's fig ures, but do not trust them. The Committee on Expenditures in the Department of Justice have un earthed the following: The Solicitor General has a man named Burr, in his office, who is mainly relied upon in consultation. Burr, before the Com mittee, testified that when the Park-man-Brooks case was referred to Hill, he made an adverse report and said the claims should never be passed. Gen Roddy, agent for the claim, came to Burr afterward aftd said: "This claim must pass; the President wants it done." "How is that?" said Burr. Roddy took an instrument from his pocket, signed "U. S. Grant," address ed, "To whom it may concern," and gave a good character to Roddy, say ing he was a man in whom perfect trust could be placed. Burr did not know whether this was really written by the President or not. It is believed by the Committee that it was. The subsequent history of the claim, it is alleged, shows that it was only by the co-operation in some way of ex-Assistant Secretary Sawyer, that it was final ly passed. Sawyer denies that when indicted for complicity in the Park man Brooks & Co. claim he stated that he acted in the case by the express orders of the President. It appears from Whitley's evidence, that Columbus Alexander was only excepted by the mock burglars mis taking the hour. They were directed to 10, they read their instruction 1 o'clock, and could not get any one at Alexander's house to receive the stolen paper. Gen Babcock gave Whit ley the assurances of protection should anything ugly happen. Whitley was afraid of the job. Whitley understood that proceedings against himself after the jury disgreed, were dismissed by order of the President. At all events Gen Babcock in person took an order ostensibly signed by President Grant addresed to the Attorney General, di recting him to have all proceedings stopped. Ex-Attorney General Wil liams summoned Mr Riddle, who pro secuted the case as Special Attorney, He states that the developments made correspond with what was and ia his theory of the case. The bill extending the limits within which indictments may be brought, so as to cover these cases, has passed Congress, and is in the hands of the President. HouSE-Amofjg the notable speeches to-day one by Williams, of Alabama, in favor of the Texas Pacific Railroad. Congressional printer Clapp, states that on account of the printing of the Cosgressinal Record appropria tion being insufficient, he had availed himself of legal privileges to draw from the Treasury to the amount of two thirds his bond, and following the practice of his predecessors, had used the proceeds of sales, to supply the deficiency, as the only means to pre vent stoppage. FLASHES. Philadelphia, April 8. George W Hewes, a prominent broker, hung him self to-day. Boston, April 8. Mrs B F Butler died to day at the Massachusets Gen eral Hospital, whither she was taken for an operation for cancer in the throat. Aged 55. Pobt Jeevis, April 8.
