DISTRICT APPOINTMENTS. What is Said at the White House. COMMISSIONER EDMONDS’ SUCCESSOR—THE NEW RECORDER OF DEEDS, ETC, Itis learned on authority that all the other District appointments will be made from among residents of the District, and the appointment of a successor to Commissioner Edmonds may be expected within afew days. Tho President was urged by many Senators and Representa- tives and other prominent democrats through- out the country to appoint a colored man to succeed Fred Douglass as recorder of deeds, and he some time ago determined so to do, Having selected a District man for the position of Dis- trict marshal, an office that could have been filled by an outside man without comment be- cause of the former intimate personal relations between it and the White House, the President felt justified in soln outside the District for a recorder of deeds, He has long known Mr. Matthews personally and all about him, and having decided to appoint a colored man, for the office, he selected him, thereby rewarding him for his active services as. democrat, sieih ied rach Gen. Hazen Denies. HE DID NOT DRAW COMMUTATION MONEY OR MILEAGE THAT HE WAS NOT ENTITLED TO. With regard to the charge that he had occu- pied public quarters at Fort Myer, and at the same time drawn commutation for same, Gen, Hazen said toa Srar reporter to-day: “In the summer of 1881 it was very hot in the city, and the commanding officer at_ Myer in- vited me out there as his guest, and I did most of my work there during the hot weather, at night, and he gave me a table in a set of empty quarters asa sort of office, and put a camp bed. init, and sometimes I slept there, and some- limes at my quarters in town, Such athing as issuing me quarters tolive in was never thought of, and the quarters I worked in were available atany moment, so far as I was concerned, for any one needing them. As to my ever draw ‘ing @ penny of advance mileage, and afterwards using transportation in kind, without account- ing for and returning the’ money, is simply false, and any one interested is referred to the Paymaster general's accounts, eS The Late Mrs, Hawley. THE FUNERAL SERVICE IN THIS CITY—DISTINe GUISHED PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE—NUMER- OUS AND BEAUTIFUL FLORAL TRIBUTES. A number of persons by special invitation as sembled yesterday at 5 o'clock in the parlors of Senator Hawley’s, where a short service was read by the Rev.Dr.Addison, of Trinity church, The remains of Mrs. Hawley were in a casket surrounded and covered and filled with flowers, On one side, at the head, stood a lean- ing cross of camelias, white roses and white carnations, set on a base of white azaleas. On the other side stood a floral harp unstrung, of lilies of the valley and camelias, with the letter “H” wrought in purple. On a table at the head. of the casket was a stand covered with wreaths Of roses and camelias, and a jar in which was place a handful of loose marguerites. The ead of the coffin was draped with fringea white China crape. Across the foot was fes- tooned the American colors, in honor of Mrs, Hawley’s noble war record in hospitals and elsewhere. The top of the coffin was covered with crosses and crowns of white flowers. The head was resting on a bank of white violets, and the breast was covered with Parma violets and white carnations, only the hands appearing from under the blossoms. In the space between the coffiu-lid and her breast were two very large calla lilies, ‘The face ap- peared ful aud sweet, but bore marks of recent severe suffering. Mrs. John Sherman’s contribution was a cross ccmposed of camelias, white carnations, Cornelia Cook roses and lilies of the valley, and a trinity of calla ilies tied with white Ottoman ribbon.

The pall-bearers Were Senators Platt, Palmer, Manderson, Sabin, Cockrell and Ransom. pute /tee ot A DISAPPOINTED OFFICE SEEKER TRIES TO MAKE A Ralse.—Yesterday afternoon, while Mr. John V. Quackenbush was attending to some business on F street, near Willard’s hotel, @ neatly dressed young man stepped into his buggy, which was standing in the street, and drove down the avenue to 18% street, ‘and, turning the corner too short, the buggy collided with the lamp post on the corner, demolishing the vehicle, which he took toa wheelwright to have repaired. The harness he sold for $3.75, and took the horse to the bazar to sell. About an hour later Officer Ellis arrested him. He gave luis name as James Holten, alias Jonn foagland, and was locked up at the fifth pre: cinct station, He said he was from Milwukee, ‘ud was a disappointed office seeker; that he Was broke, and stole the team to raise money “oget home with.

The Senate District committee to-day directed the nomination of Mr. Davis, for justice of the Peace in Georgetown, tobe favorably reported. EFFECTS OF INTOXICANTS. Messrs.

The Sub-Committee Make no Recom- mendation in Their Report. DRIFT OF THE DISCUSSION IN THE COMMITTEE ROOM TO-DAY, The Senate District committee met about. 11. a. m. to-day, and at once took up the public school question, The sub-committee, in sub- mitting their report, did not make any definite recommendation, but acquainted the full com- mittee with the arguments which had been presented to them and the impressions made by those arguments, The subject was then discussed until 12 o'clock without any con- clusion being reached. The sentiment of the committee, as indicated by the discussion, is not favorable to the cftizens’ bill, It is prob- able that the final conclusion of the committee will be to adopt @ measure comprising some features urged by the Commissioners and some favored by the citizens’ committee. The in- clination of the District committee seems clearly to be to hold the Commis- sioners responsible for _ expenditures, One of the arguments used against vesting a school ‘board with power over finances was that the experience of the past has shown that the school trustees were generally inclined to go beyond appropriations. The com- mittee are aware that the Commissioners in the discharge of their manifold duties will not be able to acquire that knowledge of the school de- tails which a board of trustees, constituted of citizens of the various districts, Gould easily be- come possessed of. The whole subject, so far as. the committee is ‘concerned, remains open and will be resumed at the next meetin; ‘he out- look, as the matter now stands, indicates a bill that will make the duties of the school board almost entirely of an’advisory character, Commissioners Edmonds and Webb were at the District committee room at 10 o'clock, and until the meeting of the committee they talked with members who were present, presenting their side of the public school question. —— +e. ___ The Pension Bill Passes the House. A SHARP POLITICAL DEBATE BEFORE THE VOTE IS TAKEN. After a long political wrangle yesterday the Pension appropriation bill was passed in the ‘House with but one vote in opposition—that of Mr. Bennett, of North Carolina, Mr. Townshend, of Iiinols, previous to the Passage of the bill, spent an hour in reading affidavits and other documents, to show that Dudley, when commissioner of pensions, had used thé pension-giving power to coerce demo- crats into voting the republican ticket, where. upon Mr. Reed, of Maine, said that in violation of the rules of the House Commissioner Black had been on the floor of the House to furnish democrats with the records of the. pension office for fart Oat end The files of the office had been plundered, he said, vo supply not the whole House, but ‘democratic members with evidence and information. He contrasted this ‘with the President’s refusal to supply papers to the Senate, Mr. Hepburn, ot lowa, sald that Mr. Townshend made a cowardly attack upon an absent man, but afterwards withdrew the word cowardly, "Mr. Reed summed up his genclusions by saying that the production of ‘these papers, if it was not a breach of public decency, was'a violation of private decency.

A Colored Demoerat from Albany Nomie mated for the Office of Recorder of Deeds. The President sent to the Senate yesterday afternoon the name of James C, Matthews, of Albany, N. Y., to succeed Mr. Frederick Doug- lass as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Mr, Matthews is a ‘colored man, 40 years ot age. He was born in New Haven, Conn., but his parents soon afterwards settled in Albany, N.Y., and there he ha- ince resided. In 1864 he graduated from the Boys’ academy in that city, taking the first prize for the best English essay, and also the Beck literary medal. His diploma was the only one ever issued by the academy toa colored scholar. He read law, and, finishing his course at the Albany law School, was regularly admitted to tne bar in 1870, and subsequently to the bar of the United States courts. Mr. Matthews has been quite successful in the practice of his profession. He was a republican in 1872, when he Joined the Uberal movement and then entered’ the demo- cratic ranks. He is sald to be a fine pnbile speaker. His wife is from a representative colored family of New York city, and he is a relative of Bishop John Coguen, the well-known, colored divine, THE NOMINATION IN THE SENATE. While some democratic Senators to-day said they do not like the appointment, there is no indication that any opposition will be offered to Matthews’ confirmation. The probability is that he will be confirmed without difficulty. MR. DOUGLASS’ RESIGNATION. Mr. Douglass, the present incumbent, ten- dered his resignation to the Presitent, under date of January 5, 1886, to take effect on the ist inst. In his letter of resignation Mr. Doug- lasssaid: “In making this communication I cannot withhold the expression of my grateful appreciation of your kind consideration in al- lowing me to choose both the time and the manner of my retirement from the office I have so long held subject to your pleasure.” THE OFFICE WORTH ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND A YEAR. The office of recorder of deeds is supported altogether by fees. Under Mr. Douglass’ man- agement it is believed that after paying the expenses it has yielded a net income of about $4,000 per annum. The office was formerly a Portion of the office of the clerk of the court, ut on the organization of the Supreme Court of the District in 1563 it was made an inde Pendent office. The permanent force is a dep- uty, @ comparer and messenger, and such cop¥isis as may be necessary. ‘The'copyists are Paid by the folio and the otters receive salaries, In some quarters the talk to-day was that the office was to great extent run in the interest of the colored people, for under Mr. Douglass, outside the deputy and the messenger, there have been few white people employed as copy. ists. Charges of mismanagement of the office are indignantly denied by both the and the titie searchers and others having busi- ness there, and it is said that for over a dozen Years there has not been a single paper lost, nor has there been any material mistake made in copying the instruments left for record. Mr. Douglass will leave the office, it is said, with pride because the work has been kept'up as Well under his reign as under his predecessors, although the business has within the past ten years more than doubled. Views of District Democrats. THE APPOINTMENT A SURPRISE AND DISAP- POINTMENT. The District democrats were considerably surprised by Mr. Matthews’ appointment, and were not in especial good humor about it to day. They criticise the President quite freely for violating what they, asa rule, consider an obligation placed upon him by the platform ot the Chicago democratic convention to appoint District men ior District offices. “And then,” said Mr. John S. aliller, in speaking of the mat- ter, “to go out of the District and importa col- ored man 1s adding insult to injury, “Our complaint against Grant, and other republican Presidents,” said Mr. J. P. Willett, “was that they imported men into the District to fill District offices, and of course we are not well pleased to have Mr. Cleveland do the same thin, Mr. R. 8. Davis said: “The President has more political wisdom than all the people that criti- cise him put together. He has demonstrated by this appointment that the democrats are as good friends of the colored race as the republi- cans are. Of course it is expected that the can- didates will feel a little sore about the appoint- ment,’ Mr. Thomas F. Miller said he had no objection to acolored man being appointed to the posi- tion, but certainly thought it strange that for an oifice like that of recorder of deeds, so inti- mately connected with the property interests of the people of the District, some one of our old Citizens should not have been selected. This is, too, the only office where the emoluments come altogether from the people of the District. Mr, William Dickson, who was the father of the “home rule” plank in the democratic plat- form, said to a STAR reporter: “I have been asked my opinion a bundred times to-day, and I have said every time that I ama lie-long democrat and I am for the administration.” THE INSANE ASYLUM. What Portion of the Expenses the Dis- trict Should Pay. FACTS AND FIGURES FROM DR. GODDING. The report of the House appropriations com- mittee accompanying the District bill submit- ted by Mr. Wilson contains a letter from Dr- Godding, upon the facts set forth in which they decided to increase the District's share of the expense of the support of patients in the gov- ernment insane hospital. ‘The letter includes tabulated statements containing statistics which have been the basis ot the estimates tor the hospital, From the opening of the hospital in 1855 to July, 1877, there was received for the payment of non-resident insane the sum of $27,620.63. The ratio of past years would give for this year $56,670. From 1881 to 1886 the average number of District patienta in the asylum has run from 384,always Increasing, up to 850 for the present year, against a total average ot all patients during the same period of from 596 to 1,173. Dr. Godding says that the reasons which occur to him as having some weight why the whole sum of $130,725 should not be charged to the District, as recommended by the Secretary of the Treasury, are: that ot the 536 hospitai inmates from the District, Jan- uary 1, 1586, forty-nine were non-resident. There iS no doubt that Washington being the seat of government makes itan attraction for “cranks,” and that these forty-nine, non-resi- dent, which isa fair average number for the ‘ear, except on the ground of common human- ty, have no business bere. Again, prior to July, 1877, the resident indigent insane were coni- mitted by order of the Secretary of the interior, the authorities of the District “having no voles in the matter, Of these thus committed 163 Were remaining January 1, 1886, Some of these dritted here during the war, and the Commis- sioners have never allowed that they were prop- erly charged to the District. If ali the claims are allowed and the deductions made, which would seem to be liberal enough, then instead of 536 we should have’ 314 chargeable to the District for the present fiscal year, and 383 for the year ending June 30, 1887. "This, he says, makes about one in- sane person to évery 377 in the District, a state of things equalled only in Massachusetts, where, ‘according to the census, one In every 347 is iu: Sane. From the, data,'ne, possesses he thinks the proper average here 1s one to every 545, Which is the national average; and that only 300 in the hospital ought to be charged to the District. He adds that what interests him most is that we have between 30 and 40 criminal Insane, for whlch there is no separate, distinct building. Three of these are for life and another coming. ‘All the additional charities that were asked for were stricken out of the bill by the whole committee, to whom they were submitted by the sub-committee, For the Catholic University.

The Columbus Investigation Continued. —— AN IGNOMINIOUS TORY FAILURE. Ridiculous 0: te Force itcome of Their Attem; Declaration from in: Special Cable Dispatch to Tie EVENING STAR, Lonpox, March 5.—Last night’s debate in the house of commons was highly entertaining, but very undignified and equally ineffective. Holmes’ oratory is of the hub-thumping order; his logic absurd enough to justify the remark that he seemed, at times, to forget by which Side he had been retained. As an Irish mem- ber said, he cut the throat of his own arguments in every other sentence. The speech was in- tended to show that the state of Ireland is 80 much worse now as to render the government's action in delaying the announcement of its measures totally inexcusable. With such ® thesis he could not help becoming ludicrous. The Parnellites sat in a solid body and inter- Jected awkward questions, roared laughter, and cheered ironically, These tactics entirely destroyed whatever effect the speech might otherwise have had, Gladstone's reply suffered, because he had nothing of any importance to demolish. With much playful humor be | described Holmes’ speech as one which children in the lowest rank in the national school could not fail to see through, as futile, ludicrous, full of intantile, innocent ignorance and one of the feeblest attacks he had ever known to be made on the proceedings of an executive govern- ment. Lord Randolph Churchill resorted to his old trick of reading long quotations from Glad- stone's old speeches and threw up a defense against a Parnellite attack which never came by saying frankly that he had hoped at one time the Irish party would drop the idea of re- peal and consent to act with either the tories or the liberals. Not a single important liberal, except Gladstone, spoke. | No Parneliite spoke atall. The tories'were beaten on the motion to adjourn by a majority of 160. Then Holmes’ motion was ignominiously withdrawn, To-day We are Just as we were, The press association issued last pight an | authoritative statement that Gladstone had de- cided on a full home rule policy. This is, hows ever, exactiy identical in effect and less full in detail than the statement you published De- cember17. Imay add that Dean Gladstone has been working with the greatest delight on his bill, in which form rather than by resolu- tion there is every reason to believe the subject will be ultimately introduced. pe erne Death of Hon.

AN IMPENDING RAILROAD STRIKE. popu- years The Men on the Gould Southwestern System Liable to Go Out Any Mo- SEDALIA, Mo., March 5.—There is nothing talked of among the citizens of this city but the impending strike, which may come at any mo- ment. The railroad company bas ordered all freight stopped going south, and is evidently preparing for a struggle. The Knights of Labor ere evidently feel that it will be a hard fight. Martin Irons, chairman of the executive board ofdistrict assembly No. 101, is now in Texas looking after the interest of the men. GALVESTON, March 5.—A 5} jal to the News from ‘Dallas 'says: The strike on the Texas Pacific railroad at this point has thus far had no appreciable effect on business. The attempts made by the Citizens’ committee at Marshail to effect a settlement by arbitration has thus far failed. The strikers claim that the Gould road has violated the agreement entered into at St. Louis in March, 1885, when the strike was settled by Gov. Glick, Gov. Crittenden and ex-Gov. Brown, solicitor general for the Gould roads. Receiver Brown, of the Texas Pacific, empigtically denies any violation of the agree ment. The three days allowed by Receivers Brown and Sheldon for the strikers to resume work expired yesterday, and the receivers have pre] @circular,which will be issued to-day, notifying the men who refused to return 10 work: that they are no longer in the employ of the compony, and warning the strikers not to congregate about the station warehouses try- ing to intimidate those who are willing io work, The circular says that if the3men persist in such intimidation the receivers Will ask help trom the United States couris. DALLAS, March 5. — United States Circuit Juage Pardee last evening sent full telegraphic instructions from New leaas tothe receivers of the Texas Pacific road, ordering them in case of the obstruction of the line by strikers to im- mediately apply to the United States court tor an order to the marshal of the district to at once restore possession and control of the com- general order by he Knights of Labor of the Gould southwestern system has been issued, boycotting all Texas and Pacificand New Or leans and Pacific cars onaccountof the troubles at Fort Worth, and the order was put into effect here. NO violence or, intimidation is used, but as the cars come in the trainmen are requested not to handle them further, and the request is immediately complied with, and they are side-tracked, GALVESTON, TEX., March 5.—The meeting ot the local trade assemblies adjourned after mid- night last night. 1t was determined that the Mullory boycott should be immediately en- forced against the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe and the Missouri Pacific roads. An order will at once be issued that every Knight of Lapor working on either of these lines must refuse to handle freight consigned to or from the Mallory company. ‘This will bring matters toa crisis, ‘as te roads will be compelied todischarge the men who refuse to handle the boycotted freight, and then a general strike will probably follow. A HORRIBLE EXHIBITION. A Forty-three Round Fight which Re- sulted in the Death of a Participant. FAYETTEVILLE, W.VA., March 5.—One of the most brutal prize fights that ever took place in this state was fought two days ago ina barn near town, and became known only through the death of one of the contestants yesterday. Inquiry develuped the fact that Frank MeGoni- gle and James Sheady fought forty-tt:ree bloody rounds for a purse of $50. The real animus of the fight, however,was an old and bittergrudge growing out of a quarrel abouta girl who toyed ‘with both their hearts, BeGonigie ‘was @ young miner and Sheady a blacksmith. Each man stripped at about 160, McGonigle having the advantage of a few pounds and an inch in ht.

At police headquarters early this morning it was said that among those who are to be arrested on warrants issued last night are Chairman O'Donnell, of the Empire Protec: tive associations, the other members of the executive ' committee—Rest, Wallace, Hughes aud Merrill, It ts said they’ will not be arrested unless Uney commit soe overt ack today, when they wi accused of inciting to violence, It was said at police headquarters that the presidents of the companies were holding cling this morning, and that it was the ge eral opinion that they’ will advise Mr. Richard- son and the directors ot the Dry Dock, West Broadway and Battery railroad company to ac- cede to the demands of the men, Chairman O'Donnell, of the strikers commit tee, was in Brooklyn. ‘The local commitice here, it was said, will not order the “tie-up” to be loosened until they hear from O'Donnell that the demands of the men on Richardson's Brooklyn roads have also been granted.

One of the leading spirits among the men was finally found, who said that the employes had tak this serious step because they believed that they must act as a unit, because they had evidence to prove that "the officials of the various raiiroads in town had been in con- sultation with the officers of the Grand street line and that they had assured the Grand sireet officials of their support and sympathy. The men stated that they had no alternative but wodoas they did. “He said that the publie might be sure of ‘one thing, namely, that the strikers had not committed one act of violence, nor would they. If acts of violence were com mitted they would be done by lawless people, not connected with the strike In any way. THE DIFFICULTIES ADJUSTED.
