A CAUCUS OF REPUBLICAN SENATORS was held this aiternoon for the purpose of interchang- ing views on ‘the adjournment question,” No | caucus action was proposed or taken, but entire unanimity of sent'ment was developed in favor of co-operating with what is understood to be the purpose of the democratic leaders, to bring about a final adjournment of thts session of Copgress by the first of June. The general im- recsion seemed to be that in case the session not ended before the meeting of the republi- can national convention (ou the 24 proximo,) Upere wiilbe a strong probability of its being prolonged for sometime beyond the adjouro- mene = the democratic convention in Cin- cinnatt.

Death of Major Gen. Heintzlieman, Major General Samuel P. Heintzleman, U. s. army, retired, died in this city this morning, in iis 76th year. He had been ailing for some time THE GREAT BOAT RACE, Will Courtney Row! HANLAN MRANS BUSINESS—HE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION—TAE YOTOMAC COURSE—WAO WILL ROW IN CASE COURTNEY FAILS—THE RACE TO COME OFF ANY Way. The race between Hanlan and Courtney for the Hop Bitters’ prize, $6,000, ts to be rowed on the Potomac on the 19th of this month. This race, It will be remembered, was “off” last fall at Chatauqua Lake on account of Courtney’s boats having been cut on the. morning of the race. There are those who take a great interest in spo-ting matters who predict that the race fixed here will not come off; but that Courtney will be found wanting. in some way or other. His declaration that he has a ‘iig” on his boat by which be is certain to win 13 regarded by some as an evidence that if his “1i¢” is not al- lowed he will not row. Others say taat the talk about a “rig” is only for the purpose of infil venc- ing betting. However true these statemenis may be, it is certain that there {s nothing yet that goes toprove that there will be norace. All the indications are to the contrary. Both Han- Jan and Courtney understand pretty weil that it by any unavoidable action on their part the race does not come off, neither of them, if they are both at fault, or either who is at fault, will ever be allowed to partic. ipate in any future honest contest with oars, lanlan, who arrived here yesterday, told THE Srak reporter, that there would be ‘a race be- tween himself and Courtiey it his coarse was the deciding matter. He evidently means what he says. His past record 1s sufficiest to show that there is no reason for doubling him; and anyone who saw and talked with him, could not doubt his honesty tn all that he says. The question of a race or no race therefore develops upon Courtney. Hisrecord has not been such Be to inspire entire confidence as to his inten- ons. + THR POTOMAC RACE COURSE. There could have been no better place se. lected than the Potomac river. In the month of May it is very exceptional If the waters of the Potomac are not smooth and In every way adapted for such acontest. The exact course has not been selected. The race will be be- tween 2and5 p.m. _ Elther one of two courses will be chosen. The rice will be a five mile on¢—two and a-half miles and turn. One course is trom Table Rock—about two miles above the Aqueduct Bridge—to the boat-house of the Po- tomac Doat Club and return. This course was measured on the ice last winter a year ago, and found to be exactly five miles. It 1s called “the upper cour: ‘The other course is designated “the lower.” Itstartsa little above the Aqueduct bridge, about the Three Sisters, and extends two and a half miles down the river to the red buoy and turn. The red buoy Js a short dlts- tance above Long Bridge. The fecilities for witnessing the race over either of these courses are very good. The lower course, however, as can be seen at a glance 1s much the more atvantage- ous from this standpoint. ‘The wharves can be used by spectators, and the boat houses will be good places of observance. With the upp course the Analostan boat house would be use- less for this purpose; as would also most of the line of wharves. Itcan be safely assumed that for these reasons the lower course wiil De se- tected. COURTNEY HAS TELEGRAPAED to Mr. Henry W. Brewer, of Georgetown, to survey the lower course and report to him the result of his work. While both the courses are excellent there is one drawback though very slight. Neither of them are straight away. At the Potomac boat house there is a bend—a very easy one but a bend nevertheless. It 1s long and has but little effect. The man who wins the toss will take the Virginia side, and thereby gain a slight advantage. He can hug the sho. along tbe bend, and avoid whatever current there may be. There 1s no current to speak or but tke water of the Virginia shore man will be more slack than of the loser ofthe tos. Tbis advantage though slight will be woith having. The course will be flagged every eighth of a mile. If the lower course is chosen stands for the accommodation of specta- tors, with a small ptice placed thereon, will be erected along the Washington bank ‘and on Analostan Island. The water that leads through the Aqueduct bridge has always been a nuis- ance to those fond of boating. It sometimes completely drenches those passing under. Tae water willbe drawn off on the occasion of The Hauaucuuiucy race. Everything will be done to make it a success, BANLAN AS FINB as sii. Hanlan arrived here yesterday, as stated in THE STaR O! last even'ng. He will stay at Wil- lards and use the Analostan boat house as his boating headquarters. He enters into active training next Monday. A look at bim shows vigor ard the very best of health. He took a opin this afternoon and may until the day of the race be seen an good weather pulling over the Potomac. He said last evening to THE Stak reporter that he expected to make hetter time in the forthcoming race than ever before. He bas no fear, and if he had 1¢ would be un- founded, that he would receive any but fatr treatment in W: gton. He now weighs about 164 pounds, and apes by traiving to reduce it to 153 or 154 before the race, AS he said yesterday he trains himself. Courtney is expected here on the 10th. He will train. or rather fs training, at bis home, on Cuy- oga e. Frenchy Johnson ts his trainer. It ig supposed that his intentions are to accept the proffered hospitality of the Potomac Boat Club, and use their house as headquarters, He is aiso expected to putup at the West End Hotel, In Georgetown, He may not have his boat at the Potomac boat-house, a3 he is look- ing for acccremodations as a boat-house hovd- Marters on the Virg'nia side.

No additional orders to carry out the Cabinet decision yesterday about the Ute reservation 1s pecessary. The troops in the vicinity have similar orders to those available for the Indian territory. These orders are to keep out inva- ders, and, if necessary, to change stations to that end. The troops available for the purpose of preventing the invasion cf Ute lands by miners and squatters are those under Colonel Hatch, in New Mexico, which have been after Victoria; thote at White river agency; the de- tachment of the 15th infantry, at Fort Lewis, Col; detachments of the 16th and 19th infantry at Fort Garland, Col, and a detachment of the the 19th infantry at Fort Lyon, Colorado. This will make three columns operating from differ- of the ability of these troops to keep all unauthorized persons irom Ute reservation, The officera on duty at the department do not think that the reported invasion is of near such proportions as reported in the press and Interior department dispatches. The Appropriation Bilis. New York fire companies will be here to bet on Courtney. IN CASE COURTNEY FAUS fo row the race, Hanlan and Riley will pull against each other for the Hop Bitters’ prize. In case both Hanlan and Courtney fal! to row Wallace Koss, of St. John’s, New Brunswick, and Riley will contest for it.

The judges, umpire and ime keepers of the race have not beén selected. HANLAN OUT FOR PRACTICE. Hanlan this morning walked out to the Analosian boat house. He got out his boat and took @ long pull, going about 300 hundred yards above the Aqueduct bridge and below the Loag bridge. He rowed six or seven miles. He re- turned te Willards this sfternoon. In conver- Sation with THE Stak reporter he said he had examined the two courses and was decidedly in favor of the lower course. When he went under Aqueduct bridge he couldn't te!ll where the Water came from that dropped upon him. He expressed himself as satisfied with the lower course, and ‘said it would undoubtedly be adopted. It was not so good a conrse as he had rowed over, but It was satisfactory. He said the Analostan boat house was the best struct- ure of the kind he had ever seen, and he has been all over the world. He will probably take another spin on the river late this afternoon, but it 15 not certain. He is going todo a great deal of walking. Mr. Etlemounge also is now with him and accompanies him in his walks. Figuring for the N.

The propriety of the com- pliment thus implied is very generally recog- nized, but the reasons why the desired portrait should be painted by a European artist are not f0 apparent.

There is little room for doubt, indeed, that the Museum could have got quite as good a portrait of Mr. Johnston in America as they are likely to get in Europe. It is to be regretted, any way, that the directors had not tried the experiment. If they had failed after giving our own artists a chance, it would have ample time then to send abroad.

REPLY OF MR. GILFILLAN TO THE LATE COMMUNI CATION OF THE COMMISSIONERS, ‘The foliowing ts Treasurer Gi)fillan’s reply to the recent letter of the District Commissioners to Assistant Treasurer Wyman: TREASURY OF THR UNITED STATES, } WASHINGTON, April 30, 1889. 5 _Contiemen:—T have received your letter of the 1th instant, in which you declare that the re- lations of the Assistant Treasurer of the United States to the District sinking fund if any are “purely clerical,” characterize the Treasurer’. Instructions to the lawfully-appointed agent of the sinking fund office asan intermeadiing with yopr business and duties, and deny generally the Treasurer's — to control in any way the collection of specia! taxes that are solemnly leds by law to the Commissioners of the Sinking fund for the payment of the s per cent certificates, as well as the validity of important provisions of law under which you and your predecessors in office have been doing business With the sinking fund ofice for tue last seven years. Confinement to a bed of sickness, which pre- vented me from signiug the Instructions to which you refer, has also prevented me from making earlier reply to the propositions now for the first time advanced by you. Under section 504 0f the Revised Statutes, and the formal written authorization of the Treasn- rer made in pursuance thereof and approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, the oe, has, at all times, full power “ the the 0 act in place and discharge any or all the duties of Treasurer of the United States.” That the cise the powers, and perform the duties, of the Treasurer relative to the sinking fund of the District as fully and as legally as can the Treas- urer himself, admits of no doubt; and the posi- tion is utterly untenable that the illness or dis- ability of the Treasurer must bring to a stand- still the performance of the duties devolved upon him as the custedian of the sinking fund. including of course the transfer of bonds, the payment of Interest, and all necessary acts cou- nected therewith. The Treasurer denies that the powers and du- Ues of the commissioners of the sinking fund, curtailed or transferred by the second section of the act of June 20, or by any other act. On the contrary, those commissioners were e: pressly continued by that act. The entire su- pervision of the 3-65 loan was intrusted to them, und a proviso to the section, reiled upon by the Comuilssioners of the District, declares “that nething In this clause contained shall affect any provisions of law authorizing or requiring a de- posit of certificates of assessment with the sink- ing fund commissione ‘The Treasurer dentes that the direction to t Distaict Commissioners, in Unat act, 10 take po: session and supervision of all the offices, book: papers, Ac., “appertaining to the buslaess interests Of the government of the Di Irict_ of Columbia and the board of pul lic works” repeals all the explicit pr visions of law establishing the independen of the sinking-tund commissioners, or that it converts the Treasurer of the United States into a mere subordinate of the District Commission- ers. He holds, moreover, that if any subordt- nation had ever existed the transfer of the pow- act of June 11, 17s, completely did away with it, and removed, once for all, the management of the sinking fund, and of al) duties connocted with it, from the control of the local authori- ties of the District, precisely as the transfer to the Secretary of the Treasury and the account- ing officers of the Treasury department of duties formerly performed by subordinate ofti- cers of the District, put an end to the control of the District Commissioners over those duties. ‘The Treasurer denies that the authority to pay the debisof the District secured by a pledge of the securities of the District or of the board of public works as collateral conferred upon the Commissioners of the District by the act of June 20, 1573, bas any relation whatever to the tax- lien certificates pledged by law to the sinking- fund commissioners. That provision notorious- ly and obviously referred only to securities pledged by former authorities of the District to private parties as security for money borrowed, and it is not known that = person whether in the District offices or elsewhere has ever before claimed that it referred to anything else. The act of May 29, 1878, not only pledges the tax- lien certificate and special assessments to tbe sinking funa commissioners, but declare that all payments thereon “shall be receired, held and applied” under the direction of those commis- sichers for the purpose specified. The treasurer are either 1h 1aw 4 in Tact trasess for him, but pime + Pe Claims “ue right conferred on him by law and exercised without question for seven years by the commissioners of the sinking fund and himself, as their sucessor, to have these special assessments collected by bis own agent and unger his own direction. Neither the Commis- stoners of the District nor any of their subordi- nates have any authority in their collection, ex- cept that which ts derjved from the commis- sioners of the sinking fund to whom they are irrevocably pledged by law. Mr. Beall’s author- | ity to collect them was conferred by a resolu- tion of the commissioners of the sinking :und of July 12, 1533, under which he has ever siace acted with the consent of the District Commis- sioners and is subject to revocation at any mo- ment by the Treasurer. His being a subordl- nate of the District Commissioners in other matters gives them no right to control bis acts in this capacity. But for purposes of con- venience the agency might as well have been conferred upon oné of the clerks in the sinking- 1und oftice. The Commissioners may not be bound to permit one of their clerks to act as the Treasurer's agent, but so loug as they do permit him to act la that capacity they are und by every consideration of oficial cc” and courtesy not to Interfere between bim and the oftcer, Who is in this relation, ils The Treasurer does not deny that drawback certificates lawfully issued may be received in payment of ail spectal assessments, but he does deny most strenuously that the certificates, which he has directed bis agent not to receive, are lawfully issued. And until the legality of their issue shal! have been established by some competent authority, he will deem it his duty to resist by every lawful means in his appiteation in payment of the special assess- ments pledged to the sinking fund office. The Tact that the Treasurer's instructions were not given through the Commissioners 1s utterly tm- toaterial. If he had the right, as he undeniably bad under the law, to instruct the duly consti- tuted agent of the sinking fund commission at all, he had the right, heretofore exercised with- out question by that commission and Limself, to instruct Lim directly. If any question of om. cial courtesy was involved. it was saved by transmitting to the Commissioners a copy of oe oo ons at the same time that they were ven, The Treasurer while denying the force of the Commissioners objections to the method which those instructions were given, or that there is any necessity for their ratification by him, nevertheless in order to remove any and all ground of objection thereto, whether well and renews all the instructions given oy the Assistant Treasurer in the remiges, and re quests the Commissioners of the District to commupicate the same to Mr. George W.
