The ball to be given at Mrs. Whitney’s on ‘Thursday night in ald of the newsboys’ lodging house, has been indefinitely postponed on ac- count of the death of Mrs. Nathan Perry, Mrs. Whitney’s grandmother. Mrs. Whitney accom- panied Senator Payne to Cleveland, leaving at eight o'clock last evening. The funerai will be held at Cleveland, and Mrs. Whitney will re- turn to the city on Saturday. Mrs, Whitney kindly proffered the use of her house for the ball during her absence, or to furnish the re- freshments if some other house, or hall, were taken, Out of regard for the hostess this propo- sition was not accepted, and as the tickets were soid for a private house, it was not thought falr to take the ball to a public place. The money paid for the ball tickets will be refunded. It has been suggested that the ticket money be turned in to the treasury of the newsboys' aid.

In the Senate to-day, after routine morning business, Mr. Voorhees offered a resolution, which was agreed to, calling on the Secretary of the Interior for correspondence between that department and the Spokane and other In- dians, or agents representing them, touching the removal of the Indians trom their present location. THE ARMY BILL UP AGAIN. On motion of Mr. Logan the bill toinerease the efficiency of the army was taken up and its consideration proceeded with. Mr. Logan then took the floor and continued his remarks isupport of the bill in controvene tion of the atguments presented against the bill by the Senators opposing it. To meet the ob- Jection made by Mr. Teller, that no body but the military commitiee of the Senate asked for this bill, Mr. Logan read trom the reports of the present Secretary of War as well as former Secretaries of War, the retired general of the army (Gen. Sherman), to show that Mr, Teller was mistaken. Also a recommendation ot Gon. Shendan, approved by Secretary Endl- cott, that soldiers be concentrated more coa- Veplently to large railroad centers—not for the plrposes hinted at by some Senators, but in order that they might be more readily moved tothe different polnts at which they might be needed; and also a recommendation ot Gen. Sheridén that two companies be added to each regiment. There being twenty-five regiments that addition would make 5,000 men, He also in called the attention of the Senate to Gen. Sheridan's letter, read yesterday, recommend ing the increase of the army to ‘30,000 men, As to the cost of the iverease, Mr, Logan cited detailed statistics to show that instead of the several million dollars which it was asserted would be involved, the additional expense Would be but $1,500,000. As to the feature of the bill dealing with courts martial Mr. Logan sald its object was to prevent the almost in- humerable courts martial that have grown up in the army, House of Representatives. MR. GUENTHER’S QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE, Mr, Guenther (Wis.), rising to a question of privilege, sent to the clerk’s desk and had read an article from the Oshkosh North Western, stating that it was said that Mr. Guenther’s de- fense of the Postmaster General a few days ago was in fulfillment of a promise obtained from Mr. Guenther in return for his appointment on. the committee on post offices and post roads, This article, said Mr. Guenther, reflected not only on his integrity but on that of the speaker and the Postmaster General. He had never in- timated either directly or indirectly that he wished to be appointed on the committee on post offices and post roads. He had never ap- proached the speaker regarding his appoint- ment on any committee; and up to ten days ago he had not seen the Postmaster eneral during the present session of Congress. nsaying what he had about the carrying of the foreign mails he had acted consistently with his course in the Forty-eighth Congress, when he had voted against the Pacific Mail subsidy. He was of the opinion that the Post- master General had done right in this matter, no matter what his polities were. He (Mr. Guenther) was a republican. He had never Greeleyized nor never mugwumpized, The District in Congress.

A Fire-proof Building Needed—Report of Architect Bell. A report from Supervising Architect Bell, of the Treasury, recommending an appropriation for the construction of a fire-proot building in this city for the safe keeping of records of the executive, legislative and judicial departments of the government and for the accommodation of certain bureaus of the Treasury, has been received and referred to the House committee on public buildings and grounds. Mr. Bell reviews the efforts made during the past four years tosecure such a building, and quotes from the report of a commission ap- pointed last year to look into the matter, to the effect that such a building would be economical as well as of value in preserving records. The rents now pald for office accommodations for the bureaus, which it is proposed to accommodate in_the new building recommended, are as fol- lows: Marine hospital bureau, $1,800; bureau Of statistics, $3,600; coast survey, $16,500; Aivision ‘of’ second ’ auditor's office, $3,825. Total, $25,725. ‘The same commission advised against quar- tering these bureaus in the building corner 12th and Pennsylvania avenue, formerly occu- pied by the Pension office, and that at the cor- ner of 13th and Pennsylvania avenue, tormerly occupied by the census bureau, and urged a new building. Architect Bell urgently recom- mends the new building, and the cost, in accordance with plans proposed, is estimated at $1,036,054, ree - The President’s Health Trip. TRE MISSTATEMENTS REGARDING IT. Some of the newspapers unfriendly to the ad- ministration have printed severe comments on the President's course in going on a “pleasure Jaunt” last week while Secretary Manning lay So dangerously ill. These criticisms are founded on misstatements of fact by sundry too enterprising newsgatherers. The truth, as obtained from an authorative source, is as iol lows: There was no grand ceremonious dinner to celebrate the President's visit, Kealizing the necessity for outof-door exercise and rest, the President arranged to spend last Saturday’ in duek-shooting at Magnolia with two Albany friends, Judge Peckham and Gen, Olcott, who are mémbers of the ducking club on ‘Gur powder river. He was urged to do this by all about him. When he proposed to stay at home, hone insisted more strongly that he should take the day off than Mr. Manning's family, and no one could see any force in is propos to abandon the excursion because of Mr. Man- ning’s illness, which must itself be attributed to the very thing the President had been urgea to avoid i his own case—a lack of exercise and Tecreation. ‘The ouly dinner on the occasion was the ordinary dinner at the club, which would have been eaten, whether he was there or not. —-——-+e0_. Executive Session of the Senate. ACTION ON DISTRICT NOMINATH WHEATLEY CONFIRMED AS COMMISSIONER— THE MATTHEWS CASE SENT BACK TO THE DISTRICT COMMITTEE—CONFIRMATIONS. The Senate in executive session yesterday confirmed the nomination of Mr. Samuel E. Wheatley as District Commissioner to succeed Mr. Edmonds and recommitted the nomina- tion of Mr. Matthews for recorder of aceds to the District committee. 1t will be remembered that Matthews was reported on a tie vote, there being @ vacancy in the committee caused by the death of Senator Miller. Ne recom- mendation accompanied the report, and the nomination is recommitted for definite action by the committee, as the vacancy in the latter is to be at once filled, THE INJUNCTION OF SECRECY. A number of additional internal revenue col- lectors were confirmed, principally for Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. Mr. Morrill moved that as an act of Justice to Stearns, the deposed coilector of Vermont, the injunction of secrecy be removed from the ‘pro- ceedings relating to the case, which was car- ried. Mr. Sherman asked that the same Justice be done to the Ohio ex-collectors.. Some Sena- tor asked why not extend it to all the removed collectors, which was followed by the question from another Senator, “Why not extend it to all suspend@d officiais?” ‘This was moving too rapidly in the direction of theentire abolition of secrecy to piease some of the Senators;so that the Yote on Mr, Morrill’s motion was reconsidered By inadvertance the reconsideration was made to cover action removing the injunction of secrecy from the correspondence relating to in- Jury to and damage for Chinese subjects in this ‘country. OTHER CONFIRMATION. The following nominations were confirmed: William L, Alden, of New York, consul general at Rome; Chafles T. Russell, of Connecticut, ce Stephen Packard, sus- pended; Samuel 1. Gorn, to be ussuciate justice, ‘yomlng Territory; L. W. Atlee, of Pennsylva: nia, to be assistant Surgeon in tlie navy. Also, a number of postinasters. eee The Million Dollur Loan Bill. WHAT COMMISSIONER EDMONDS SAYS OF IT, Commissioner Edmonds, speaking toa Stan reporter to-day of the “million dollar loan” bill, introduced in the House yesterday, said that the District could easily meet the obligations imposed upon it by that bill if a guard was kept on expenditures, to prevent the money from being used up on cther projects less important. When the $500,000 sewer loan bill was passed, he sald, members of Congress expressed the opinion that the District Commissioners would come to them again in a year or two to beg off and have the United States assame the whole amount. The Commissioners, however, had met all their obligations. “I think,” sald the Commissioner, “that the District could, if neces- Sary, meet iis share of the million doliar ap- propriation in three years, and I so told the committee, but five years of course is better, Iu order to do it, though, the Commissioners will have to watch vigilantly all expenditures asked for this thing and that thing not abso- lutely necessary.” esas.
