Minister Romero, of Mexico, on the Proposed Great Expositions. Senor Don Matias Romero, the Mexican min- ister, bas written to Mr. Alexander D. Ander- son the following letter in reference to the Proposed exposition in this eity in celebration of the fourth centenary of the discovery of America by Columbus: “I have received your letter of the 2d inst., wherewith you send me copies of the National Republican, of this city, of the 26th ultimo, containing a statement of the plans and pur- Poses of a proposed permanent three Americas’ exposition, which is intended to be held in this capital in commemoration of the fourth centenary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. You are pleased to invite me to express my opinion concerning this project, which, if it is to contribute, as you say, to the estabiishment of more intimate commercial and social rela- tions between the United States of America and the Spanish American republics, I have no doubt that it will be of great importance both to this country and to the other sister re- publics of this continent, As you are probably aware several persons of the City of Mexico have proposed to celebrate the same event by means of an international exposition, to be held at that city, and although Thave not yet heard that the Mexican gov- ernment has taken any steps in the matter I would be very glad, as you may naturally sup- pose, to hear that the said exposition is to be carried outif permitted by the financial cir cumstance of the country. Both projects might yet, perhaps, be reconciled if the Washington exposition were to be open on the 4th of M rch, 1889, in commemoration of the first centenary of the Constitution of the United States, -in conformity with the bill presented yesterday by Hon. Arthur P. Gormon, United States Sen- alor from the state of Maryland.” ee Changes in the Offices. Jacob H. Dimmick, of Port Jervis, N. ¥., has been appointed postage stamp agent at New York city, to succeed Major J. 8. Fassitt, The place is worth $2,500 per annum. The following dismissals were made to-day in the Patent office: Orris Brown, of Virginia, laborer, $480; Alfred H. Flynn, of District of Columbia, laborer, $180; i. W. Love, of Iowa, $4,000; elehard 1 Jackson, of Virginia, laborer, +00 A Change at Fort Myer. A NEW COMMANDER FOR THE FORT ON HIS WAY TO WASHINGTON, Major James Biddle, of the 6th cavalry, is now on his way to Washington for the purpose j of being assigned to duty as commandant of the military post of Fort Myer. The develop- ments of the recent court-martial case at Fort Myer led the Secretary of War to decide to take the command of the fort from the signal service ana place it under the control of a regular army officer of rank and experience, and have its atfairs conducted as a regular military post. Major Biddle was therefore selected, and was a few days ago ordered to proceed to Washington and report to the adjutant general tor duty, Signal service men will continue to be trained ‘at Fort Myer for their duties in the service, but the post will no longer be controlled by the signal service. — Lieut. MeBlain in the City. WHAT HE SAYS OF THE CHARGES AGAINST ao. Second Lieut. John F. McBlain, 9th cavalry, whose promotion to be first lieutenarft is with- held on account of grave charges of having irregularly procured a divorce from his wife, arrived here last evening from Junction City, Kansas, where he has been on leave of absence. He was atthe War department this morning. Lieut. McBlain regrets the publicity given the matter, but claims to possess papers which will Vindicate him from all suspicion of wrong- doing. He says that the matter was once be- fore investigated by the War department and dropped, and he is satisfied that if he is given a fair and impartial hearing he will refute the charges. Inquiry at the War department shows, that the department had been in possession of the circumswnces, but there was no official record upon which to take action, Besides, they had transpired so long before that they could not be considered. see A Tariff Tilt, HEARING BEFORE THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE TO-DAY, ‘The American Iron and Steel Association had @ hearing betore the House committee on ways and means to-day. The old arguments, from the standpoint of iron, in opposition to tariff re- duction were made ina report by the associa- tion, which was made by Mr, Cope, secretary of the association, Mr. Wharton, of the Bessemer steel works, then presented certain facts and figures to the committee with inferences drawn in support of his position in opposition to the Morrison bill. ‘Mr. Hewitt began to pile questions upon him so fast that he was getting mixed in his an- swers, when Mr. Reid and other republican members protested that he stould be given time to answer one question beiore being pressed with another, There was then @ tilt—across fire of statis- tics—between Mr. Hewitt, Mr. Wharton, Mr. Reld and otbers, f Before Mr. Wharton left the stand Mr. Breck- enridge brought out that the workmen in free- trade England got better wages than those in the countries on the continent which had a policy of protection, besides having the advan- lage that free tradé gave them of cheap food and clotuing, Mr. Wharton said he looked upon Mr, Morrl- son as an undeveloped protectionist, NEW GINGHAMS Plaid and DR, RAUTERBERG HAS REMOVED : | )REN QENCHAns tn Tammte, strips, aaa db S, ENOVED 3 EI from S40. 0niy..

Se MINORITY REPORT ON THE EADS BILL. ——— ‘The Senate. The chair laid before the Senate a message from the President transmitting the annual re- Port for 1885 of the board of Indian commis- Sioners. It was referred to the committee on Indian affairs. Also, a communication from the Secretary of the Treasury, in response to a resolution of the Senate, stating that the amount of bonds maturing April Ist next, held in trust for na- tional banks, is $6,385,555. GRANT MEMENTOES. Mr. Seweil, from the committee on the library, reported favorably a joint resolution accepting from Wm. H. Vanderbilt and Julia Dent Grant objects of value and art presented by foreign governments to the late Gen.Ulysses S.Grant. On the suggestion of Mr. Ingalls it was changed to th rm ofa bill, On the sug- gestion of Mr. L it was also changed so that the name of Grant should precede that of Mr, Vanderbilt. The bill was then passed. THE FITZ JOHN PORTER BILL, Mr. Sewell, from the committee on military affairs, reported favorably the House bill for the rellef of Gen. Fitz John Porter, with a re- port giving the views of the majority of the committee, Mr, Sewell adtied that Mr, Logan would later submit the views of the minority. MR, EIDDLEBERGER EXPLAINS. Mr. Riddleberger said that some remarks of his yesterday had been construed to be offen- sive personally to some Senators, and espect- ally “to the Senator from North Carolina,” If anything that could be so construed was pointed out to Mr. Riddleberger in tie Record he would be glad to erase it before the revised edition of the Record was printed. His only object had been to protest against the admis- sion of professional lobbyists to the floor of the Senate—men Who came to persuade Senators, andif they could not persuade them, then to abuse them and blackguard them, ‘He had meant no offense to “the Senator from North Carolina,” Mr. Logan gave notice that at an early day he would’ ask the Senate to take up the bill to increase the efficiency of the army, which was a very important bill, he said. THE EDUCATION BILL, ‘The education bill was then taken up. House of Representatives. The Speaker laid beiore the House a commu- nication from the Secretary of War recom- mending an appropriation for extra duty pay to enlisted men employed at Fortress Monroe.
