Thompson. MINISTER WetsH CosFIRMED.—The Sen- Ale In executive session to-day confirmed the appointment of John Welsh to be Minister to England. THE Executive COMMITTEE of the Citi- zens Committee of Que Handred will meet 10 moorrow night, at 7 o’clork, at the office of Mesers. Fitch & Fox. ConFIRMED.—The Senate in executive session yesterday confirmed the following nomination : To be secretary of the territory of Montana, James H. Milis, of Montana. AMONG THE CALLERs at the White House this morning were Senators Dawes, Hoar and Matthews, and Representatives Foster, Ward, White, Covert, Townsend (N. Y.) aad Shallenberger. THE DEBATE on the army Dill thus far seems to be in the nature of a cross fire be- tween members as to the responsibility for the failure of the army bill in the last Con- gress. SENATOR CONKLING did not return to Washington this morning, and hence there Was no meeting of the committee on com- merce {to consider the New York appoini- ments. MEMEERS of the Illinois Congressional delegation say that if Col. Bob Ingersoll has been offered the German mission that dele- gation was not consulted as has been repre- sented. Loss OF AN AMERICAN BARK.—The De- partment of State has received a dispatch from the U. 8. consul at Plymouth, England, announcing the loss of the bark Wm. Van Name, of New York, and the rescue of the crew. SPEAKER RANDALL says he intended to inquire into the circumstances under which the silver bill was passed, but has delayed in consequence of the absence of Mr. Buckner. He things, however, even if the bill was reconsidered, the majority in favor of such a measure is too large to expect its defeat. A MEETING of the Senate committee on Judiciary was held this morning for the con- sideration of the appointments referred to the committee by the Senate. The commit- tee confirmed all the appointments, ‘consist- ing in the main of district attorneys, mar- shals, &c , to which objection was not made, and they will be reported to the Senate for confirmation at the next executive sessioa. THOSE SAME OLD ARGES AGAINST THE PENSION OFFICE.—Mr. Rice, of Ohio, presented in the House yesterday a petition of Thomas P. Kane, preferring charges against the Pension office management, and especially under the administration of Com- missioner Baker. He aileges that the abuses and mismanagement still exist; that he has called the attention of ‘he Secretary of the Interior to them, but that officer has refased to entertain the charges and make the inves- Ugation, ard be therefore asks the commit- tee on pensions to do CONTEST FOR THE HOUSE RESTAURANT. The House committee on public buildings and grounds met this morning with the in- tention of settling an important problem in gastronomics, i ¢., who shall preside over its restaurant. There are aboul fifiy appli- cants for the place, anc the members of the committee have been harrassed and annoyed over the selection of the caterer until they are pretty well tired of the matter. To- day it was Intended to settle the difficulty, but at the request of two members of the committee who could not be present, the sub- ject was pos'poued until the next meeting. THe NaTIONAL BoaRp OF TRapz hasa committee here in reference to measures which were passed upon by the board at its session in Milwaukee in August last, to be presented to the proper Congressional com- mittees. The suojects to be pres: nied ar The extension of the jurisdiction of the United States government over the naviga- ble waters of the country; the American reg- istration of foreign built vessels; the revision of the tariff; the resumption of specie pay- ments; the remonetizauion of silver; the es tablishment of trade relations with the South American states; @ reciprocity treaty with Canada, and the establishment of a depart- ment of commerce.

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.—The democratic members of the House of Representatives held a caucus yesterday afternoon immedi- ately after the adjournment, for the purpose of agreeing upon the nomination of a Pp laiu, the position being vacated by the resig- nation of Rey. John Poisal. It was decided to nominate Kev. Di. W. P. Harrison, of Georgia, a Southern Methodist. Represent- ative House, of Teanessee. offered a resolu- tion declaring it inexpedient to attach to the army appropriation bili @ proviso similar to that which caused the defeat of the bill at the last session, namely—that none of the troops should be employed for political purposes. ‘This resolution was agreed to by a vote of two to one. THE SHEPHERD-DOUGLAS PICTURE SaLe.—Owing to the terrific rain storm, Which set in about six o'clock, the attend- ance at the proposed sale of pictures be.ong- ing to ex-Gov. Shepherd and the estate of the late Hon. 8. A. Douglas, last evening, was quite small. The auctioneer was wil ing to proceed with the sale, if the autience desired it, but the éhances for getting through with the catalogue for the first sale were manifestly so unlikely, that. by the unani- mous vole of those present, it was decided to postpoue the sale uutil this evening, when it will begin at No. 1, commencing at 7:50 rompt. The range both of subjects and art. is is so wide in this joint collection that nearly every taste can be suited, and we look for a large attendance to-night if the weather is at all favorable. ImroRTANT ARMY ORDERS.—General Or- ders No. 101, just issued from the headquar- ters of the army, makes the following changes: I.

The repub lican members of the committee are unant- any in favor of the admission of Kel- "BS. AT THE REGULAR CARINET MEETING to-day all the members were present. Tue meetirg lasted until two o'clock. It was ex- pected that immediately after the adjoara- ment of the Cabinet ine Poncas Indian del egation would have a pow-wow with tue President. But on inquiry it was learael that they would not have the meeting uatil 4 o'clock. JUDGE HARLAN'S NOMINATION.—The ju- diciary committee of the Senate will report favorably the nomination of Gen.

This action woud have been taken soine days ago bad not Senator Edmunds, of Veruont, been unable to at- tend ihe committce meetings by reason of sickness.

BRITISH AND AM Depariment of State is in receipt of farther | S0G iis believed Mead ts co c | their disappearance aud fled for (ear his communications from our consul at Leeds concerning the general import and export trade of the United Kingdom, and how to enlarge the trade of the United Siates there with. During the first eight monatus of the present year the touil imports of breadstufts into the United Kingdom were: Wheat, $102,250,000; other grains and flour, $93,500,030; Meat, dead and “alive, $50,000,000; butter, cheese and eggs, about $50,000,000; miscel- lapeous, $1,000,000—making a total of farm ucts Of the enormous sum of $305,75),000. larvest reports render it #)lmost certain that the imports for the remaining four months will be even greater in proportion than the above. Of the wheat imports, the Uaited States supplied about sixty millions, Russia thirty-four millions, and India eighteen mil- lions, jumping from tenth in 1875 to third in Ae77. It is expected that India will become a fap ope competitor of the United States in the grain trade, as no pains will be spared to develop her resources in that line. The imports of fresh meat from the United States have reduced the price of beef in England one cent per pound. As soon as the prejudices which now exist against it are ca, this trade will become almost le. The importation of American watches has suddenly assumed respectable roportions, With good promise of farther levelopment. They are looked upoa as equal to the Engl as timers, and very much cheaper; superior to the Swiss, and only very litile dearer—a happy medium, which enabies them to sell rapidly on the market. The consul feels assured that a good trade in American shoes could be es. tablished in England, if our manufacturers would study tbe special requiremenis of the market; sending nothing bui just what Eng- lish trade demands. Notwiinstandiog the acknowledged superiority, even in Eagiand, of Ame.ican agricuilural machines and im- plements, we need look for no further devel- opment of this bracch of our trade in that country. The consul, (who was for many Tes coreet to Spain, and gave considera - le attention to axriculture aud the ma.iu- facture of wines,)says Ubat as soon as the art of making wine is learned ta the United States, and our wines assume a_fixel and determined character, England will pur- chase largely from us, bul that it is folly to er that the cultivated taste of the Eng lish wive-drinkers will accommodate itself to ovr crude and variable brands. Our viaes and grapes are the best inthe world, and when we cultivate necessary manipulation in their manufacture and bandiing, which will come with patient experience, the wine trade of the United States will be a leading feature in our ex} trade. There is a large consumption in the United Kingdom of what is call British spirits, besides what is ex- ed to Bordeaux, Oporto, Xeres, kc. There nged for giving additional strength to the wines. As this British oa is_ made from corn imported from the United States, the consul sees no reason why our distillers cannot manufacture this article and export it direct to the wine producing districts of the world, where it is always in active de- m — s2ee- THE WEEKLY STAR, now ready, contains all the News of the Week; Political [ntelli- gence; Proceedings of Congress; the Crisis In France; latest from the Conflict in the Kast; Agricultural Matters; White House and ment News; Courts; Local Affairs; ice and Sketches; Agricultural and Household Maus, Se ae. per annum, in advanee, postase prepaid; single copies five cents, in wrapper! ———$—— ce THE EXAMINATION OF MORTON, ex- President of the Philadelphia Market Street Railway, on the bankruptey proceediz against Nagle & Co., was resumed Wedne: day before Register Mason.

Cox, of the House of Represent- | Atives, has received a communication from Lt. Col. Casey, in charge of public Buildings | and grounds, saying that “owing ' the ab sence of the Secretary of the Navy, at Lodia- napolis, I was not abie, until this morntoz. to consult him upon the matter of your kind note of the ith inst. He tuferms me (in: (he hours fixed by him for labor in the se *Vy yards,are as follows: “Mare: ept. 2b, from 7 a.m. toe p.m; Se March 20, from 7:40 a m. to 430 p.m the usual intermission of o3e hour Ler. The regulation carries no preseut re- duetion of pay.” The reason for fixing the hour of 7:1) a. m. for commencing work, betwee) the xatamn al ana vernal eqinoxes, was toat large num- bers of the workmen at the Brouslyo yard lived long distavces {rom the workshops, aud much time was necessarily consumed in the jourbey w the works. Having submitied your note and theabove information to the Secretary of War, he has authorized a covformity upon the building for the State, War aud Navy departmen's With the hours established by the Secretary of the Navy, with the excepcion that the time for commencing work between |he autumnal and vernal equinoxes shall be 750 and this arrangemest of hours will be inauzara ted on the I Ss mouth upon the at mentioned District in Congress. POR EXTENDING THE CAPITOL GROUNDS Senator Dawes, from the committee on Fubils buildings and grounds, in the Senate to-day, reported a bill “towuthorize the tak tng of certain parcels of laud forthe public use at the intersection of i Yivania and Maryland avenues, on the west frout of ive Capiiol grounds. The biil bas been pred by the Senate before. Phe value of the "rup- erty to be taken, with the ‘mproverents thereon, &e., ts estimated at 15. Since the erection of the monument at the w front of the Capitol grounds, the space eblerirg the giounds at the jacction of lwo avecues is extremely barrow, and roadway is almost gpurcly upled b, street car tracks. 11 is the opinion of Sena- tor Dawes that the cost of enlarging the grounds will bot exceed 325.000. Senator Whyte suggested the appoinunent of a jury to appraise the value oi ine land to be taken insead of leaving the authority therefor to tbe judgment of the Supreme Court of the District. Senator Davis, of Iilinois, said that too much authority is left to the District court, and believed that a board of five dis- interested free holders, or a jury she re- port upon the value of the property. The bill was ordered over uti) W-liu:row for action.
