The boards held their first meetingat the Navy depariment to-day.The Demand for the Gciteao Trial Record..

It appears that only eighty copies of the record ofthe Guitenu trial "were preserved by the governmentfor distribution. This number did not begtnto supply the demand which came from all partsor the wo^ld. Every capital of Europe, it IS sail,has applied for copies, only to be Informed thatnone have been provided for general distribution,rubllc libraries, law libraries, and other institutions,as well as Individual", have asked for tlvmon account of the great number of opinions oi expertson the question of Insanity which the reportcont ilnc-d. The few copies preserved were carefullydistributed by the Attorney General to lawlibraries and Judges In this country. A resolutionwas offered in the Senate authorizing the printingof a large number of copies, bnt it was defeated.

Not Satisfied with the Jkavnette Report..It has been reported that the friends of the lateMr. Collins, of the Jeannetto expedition, are farfrom satisfied with the report of the Jeannettecourt of inquiry, and It Is lull mated that thematter will be brought to the attention of Congressut the next session. It la thought by somethat the relations of Collins are d-sirous of receivinga pension, as It was glvn out to the men,by the commander of the Jeannette, that Mr.Bennett would take care of their widows andorphans if they should never return. SecretaryChandler upon being quest oned abouttho matter this morning replied thathe had heard no complatnts from Collins'people;* that he had taken every precautionto have the investigation as thorough andopen as i>osslble, so that there should be no complaint.AtK>ut the matter of a pension being expectedhe knew nothing.Naval Orders..Surgeon Joseph B. Parker, orderedto the torpedo station; Assistant Paymaster

Dn B. Randolph Kelm had not received his cornmissionas examiner for the civil servtce commission.Still he was not at all apprehensivethat it would not be fort'icoailng.The Civil Servicb Rules..The consideration

of the civil service rules will ba resumed at theCabinet meeting this afternoon, and It is thoughtlikely that the President w'll take action uponthem to-day. Tho Cabinet officers have beenmaking an examination of the rules from a standpointof practical bureau work, and in some instancesthey have been assisted in the examinationby the heads or bureaus of their dep irtments.The Cabinet officers will probably submit the resultof these examinations at the Cabinet meetingto-dfiy. It is understood that promotions underho rules are to be made by the commission uponcompetitive examinations, and not by the heads ofthe bureaus. There is some objection to this, as itis thought the latt< r officers are necessarily muchbetter able to Judge of the qualifications of th' lrsubordinates than any one > lse. It Is thought,however, that the rules will be approved withoutany material change being made in them.

bart Is a heavy taxpayer uuder the internal revenuelaws, and It is claimed in his behalf that he jhas a complete mastery or the system. The fact ,that Deputy Commissioner Rodgers has been designator!to act as commissioner instead of beingappointed is construed generally ns an indlc Ulonthat he is not to receive the appointment, otherwiseJt would have been made before this.I

The Reduced Tobacco Tax in operation..The jclauses of the new internal revenue law making ireductions In the tax on tobacco, cigars and snuff,went Into effect to-day, and the manufacturers 'aud wholesale and retail dealers were busy inmany parts of the country last night taking stock,for the purpose of claiming rebate ontheun- .

broken st amped pncKages. The larger manufacturershad all their hands at work, aa the idea was '

to have the Hta'oments made up between mid- inight of April 80 and the opening of business onMay 1. Each package with the stamp of tho old 1

charge affixed had to bo labeled, and an inventorymade of all the goods'on hand to which rebate forthe difference made by the reduction was to baallowed. Two witnesses or undoubted integritywere required to see that the goods In each place 1were properly labeled and inventoried. The ex- ianimation of the numerous claims for rebate will jprobably not he completed in the Internal Revenuebureau before the 1st of January next. jPehsonal..Senator Harrison left for his home !

TOO MICH AMMONIA TV THE OAS.Tiie reporter visited the office and laboratory of .

Gas Inspector Ford aud was permitted to examinethe records he had kept Of the gas. These showedthat for several days In January the gas feu Jbelow the required illuminating power; but thedefault did not continue long, an I the average forthat month was 17.45 can-tie power, whereas thecomp mv is required to keep it only up to 16 can liepower, hinee then it has btvn kop; up to and evenabove the required standard. one or the complaintsIs that the pas oi late lias contained anexcess of ammonia. The law prescribes Ave cramsof ammonia In each 100 cubic feet of gas isthe maximum. The records of the in.->p>vtorshow th it on April igth It ran tip to5.1, or one-tenth excess. This was promptlyreported to the commissioners, ;ind also to thegas company, and the record tor the n^xtday shows that the company corrected the fault,as the quantity of ammonia f 11 below tlte pr. -

scribed limit. Again, on the 23d of April, the gasregistered 8.07 ft ,1ns of ammonia to the 100 cubicfeet. This excess was reported, an1 again the lol- 1

lowing day recorded the correct on. as the am- !monla then fell to 3.95 trains. For the mouth ofApril the average of ammonia was far below thelimit allowed, aii3 during March the average whs ,but -57 of a grain for ltf) cubic feet. The annualreports of the gas Inspector all specify, with d itesand figures, the times during each y-ar when tlietras fell below standard, but no notice has beeu 'taken of sucii lapses before.

MONDAY.The work of laying stone on the Washington

ThereIs sufficient stone.marble and granite.now on ,the ground, cut and ready to be laid, to ra^e the imonument 80 feet, but it Is thought advisable not ito begla placing it In position yntil there is a bet- jter supply on hand. The laying of the stone canbo pushed much more rapidly than the stone can

'

be supplied. Fifteen courses could lie laid In as <.mauy days, but then there would be a delay f ,r rruitlier supplies.
