C. Weeks, Jesse Morrison and Joseph White and accompanied by Representative Cole, saw the President yerterday to complain that W. T. Malster, of Baltimore, who has the contract for repairs to the revenue cutter Crawford, proposes to pay shipwrights $2.50 per day when the regular rates are $3. The President said the question of. protecting American labor had already grown to be a national question, and he romised to talc with his cabinet on the sub- ject. So far as the contract for the work on the ‘rawford was concerned, he said he had noth- ing to do with it, as that’ was a matter within the jurisdiction ‘of the Secretary of the Treas- ury. The delegation also saw Secretary Man- ning and Major Clarke, superintendent of the Tevenue marine service, on the same subject. Mr. Dorway B. Eaton, chairman of thecivil service commissions had a long interview with the President jigstenday afternoon by int ment. He declined to make public anything in Feference to the matter, s PUbte anything THE SALARY Nor Lancr ExovcH.—Mr. Willlam A.

Nor MUCH OF A RUSH <SYLVANIANS TO THE FRONT JUST NOW. There are very few members of Congress in the clty at present, and the pressure for office is comparatively light. The rush that was expected on the return of the President was not made, and Mr, Cleveland and his cabinet have bad tolerably plain saillug. The New York, Objio and Virginia politicians are too muc! Occupied by the more important political wor athome. A politician who came from Ohio the Other day says the prospects ure fora eaupalgn there almost as hot as that last fall. Pennsylvania Is the most prominent figure in the field just now. A good portion of the dele- gution from that state are here to-day to setile the local appointments, the most important of which ave the Philadelphia marshalship and postinastership. Representatives Curtin Ra: dall, Ermantrout, and Scott, of Erie, are here, and expect to have the appointments made at once. +09 —_—__ OGieials Must Not Take the Stump. GEN.

The first paper was on the theme, “Te Natural Hygiene of Child Bearing Life.” Its author was Dr. Busey, of this city. Dr. Busey, 18 bis paper, discussed at some length the proper age for marriage, and the injury done by premature marriages. ' Pre- eocions puberty was, he believed, on the in- erease in this country: Dr. Chadwick, in discussing the paper, said that according to bis observations the child- bearing period was growing earlier in Ameri- can women and the power of productiveness re- mained longer than in women of other nations, This indicated an added vigor and refuted writers who claimed that the women of Aimer- ica were degenerating in this respect. It was true the nuinber of children in families was decreasing, but this should be attributed to social eustoins rather than to any puiysiological cause. ‘Theseoud paper was by Dr.*enry J.

The Answer of the Trustees to Mr. Helm’s Application for an Injune- tion. The case of Helm against the CriticCompany— application for an injunetion and receiver— filed some weeks since, was this morning called before Judge Hagner. The answer of defend- ants was filed, with the exception of that of Mr. Hutchins, whois notin the city, and has not been served with the process. Messrs, Kilbourn, Towers and Sylvester in thelr answer,claim that the court has nojurisdic- tion toappointa reeciver. ‘They state that there are eight of the 100 shares ot the corporation held in the name of the complainant, and deny that Hutchins is a stockholder. They assert that they are the owners of 87-100th of the capital of $50,000, E, M. Hack, the foreman, owning five shares, which, with’ Helm’s eight shares, constitute the remainder. They deny Helm’s employment at the time defendant pu chased the stock, and assert that Hutchins’ ‘only relation tothe concern is that of aland- lord. “They admit the agreement to hold T. J. Brady harmless for the debts of the company not to exceed $9,000, They admit that they changed the name from the Evening Critic to Washington Critic, but not the name of the cor- poration. They admit that some of the indebt- edness has not been pald, including the note of Brady as secretary and treasurer. ‘They also fle affidavits that Brady, on Aprit 6th, for satisfactory consideration, delivered to them 80 ofthe 100 shares of stock, to which they have added 7 by purchase. The answer states that at the annual meeting, June Sth last, 85 of the 100 shares wore represented and an assessment of thirty cents on the dollar was made, and the respondents were re-elected trustees; that when they took hold in April they found the business in a very ruinous con- dition—in debt several thousands of dollars, ‘They assert that under the former management the business could not have continued ten days longer. They charge that Helm unlawfully di- Verted several hundred dollars of the funds, and state that Helm surrendered his certificates in the old affair and accepted eight new ones, &c. ‘The case was postponed till Monday next RopeErres Reronrep.—Ann Simons, 817 4th street, reports stolen from her house a'dress and bed clothing worth $10.—Mrs. Stella Vale, 2208 14th street, reports stolen from her house six sliver spoons worth $8. gate ManriawpEns Manstep.—This morning two ung met ‘@ young lady appeared Zierk’s omice and aaked for'a marriage license sees ‘Ki both SAE ipradiperg hemi A ‘which being granted, they set o mninister, and were directed to Rev.
