Ex-Senator Wallace's Defent, HIS DEMOCHATIC FRIENDS HERE DO Nor BELIEVE HE CHARGES THE ADMINISTRATION WITH USING IS POWER AGAINST HIM, X-Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, who was a candidate for the nomination for governor before the recent democratic state convention, is quoted in an interview as severely criticising the administration for exerting its power in behalf of his competitor, Lieutenant Governor Black, The strictures imputed to Mr. Wallace are not believed by some of the Penusylvania democrats holding tederal officesin Washington ute: to have bi d by him. One of the latter, a close and ¢ in talking th ad of Mr. Randall; TAR reporter to-day about n and Ils work, said: eve Senator Wallace ‘charged the administration with having used its power to nominate Bluck, and if he did it was merely the illadvised utterance of a deteated candidate, who is louth to admit that another democrat is more popular than himself, I attended the convention, mereiy as a spectator, and 1 never saw @ political gathering in Pennsyivania so free from the Influence ot othceholders, state and federal, Federal officers were not chosen delegates because the President's order was construed as forbidding it. Lieut. Gov. Black was the choice of the convention, as the man uid best unite not only the democrats, elements opposed to the republican hnichine Wuich nominated Gen. Beaver. His nomination was the voluntary and deliberate choice of the party, and I can assure you that neither the administration nor apy one of its departments made the least effort ior or against Black. Some of the prominent officials, being warm persoual friends of the Meutenant gov- eraor, Were anxious to see him win, but tuey had nothing to do with the convention, L do not believe Mr, Wallace ever made such charge against the ion.” Axrcavian, THE IDEAL WAUKESHA (WIS) WATER, “Nature's specific for diseases of the Kidney and Bladder. “Unequaied in diseases of the Stomach and Alimen- tary Caual.” Dealers supplied by SAM'L Cc.

NO IMMEDIATE PROSPECT OF RELIEF FROM THE TORRID WAVE, It was learned at the Signal office this morn- ing that there is a probability of several warm days ahead for Washington, The predictions to-day for the next twenty-four hours, begin- ning at 3 o'clock, are: “Fair weather, southerly winds, and slightly warmer temperature. Warmer weather than to-day means ninety degrees or higher. ‘The maximum yesterday was 86.8. At 11 o'clock yesterday the ther mometer registered 51 degrees, and at the same hour to-day 83 degress—a rise of two degrees— which will make the highest temperature to- duy about 89 degrees, The only escape from the warm weather isa bare possibility of cloudy weather. It is growiug cooler in the northwest, and a cool wave may reach us in a few days, oF the development may pass off without aiféct ing us in this purt of the country. They Fed the Hungry. BUT WERE BROUGHT FROM CAMP MEETING TO ANSWEE A CHARGE OF VIOLATING THE SUN- Day LAW. ‘The annual camp meeting of the Good Hope Methodist church, colored, is being held on Good Hope hill,a short distance trom Union- town, Last Sunday several thousand persons from Washington and Maryland visited the camp, which raised thy price of watermelons about one hundred per cent, while tonic beer, ginger ale, soda water and cakes were at a premium. The thousands of hungry persons were fed, but by feeding them the church mem- bers violated tne county law, which prohibits the selling of merchandise on the Sabbath, although the breach of law was for a charitable cause, namely, to repair the church which was damaxed by ibe recent storm. Oitcers Murr and Anderson swore out a warrant for twenty- six men and women, and to-day tiey all ap- peared betore Judge ‘Marper, Ivcame out in evidence that ten of the defendants who had stands on tne grounds paid $10 each to the church for the privilege ‘rhe judge hel. that they had violated the law, bit took their personal bonds until Satur- day to give them time to arrange with the Dis- trict Commissioners the niatter of continuing the business on Sundays in the tuture. As they filed out of court the judge remarked: “I know they, can't worship very well with hungry bel- lies.” “some people have to get that way petore they can worship,” said Mr. Carrington aD Zang Mee Ca The Nationals Defeat the Maroons. OTHER GAMES YESTEKDAY—THE ST, LOUIS CLUB NOT To BE DISBANDED, The Nationals captured a game from the St. Louis Maroons yesterday in a hadsome manner. by ascore of 2'to 0, It was one ot the prettiest anc most sharply contested games seen in St. Louis this season, Crane pitched for the Nationals, andalthough he sent three men to their buses on balls bis pitching was very effective, and but two hits were made by ‘the Maroons. The Nationals made but four hits off Healey, but Crane, Hayes and Baker made two baggers. Other games: At Chicago—Chicago, 6; Bos- m, 1.

NEWTON'S NEW POSITION. Commissioner of Public Works of New York. HE WILL PROBABLY SEVER HIS CONNECTION WITH THE ARMY TO ACCEPT THE PLACE TEN* DERED HIM, Gen Newton, chief of engineers, arrived in Washington last evening trom New York, and was at his office in the Winder building this morning, busily preparing to sever his counec- tion with the government service to enter upon the duties of commissioner of public works of New York, He stated to a STAR reporter to- day that he had not definitely decided to ac- cept the position tendered him, and therefore id not yet made appilcation to be retired under the forty years service law. “There is every probability that I shall accept the posi- tion, although there isa bare possibility that circumstances might dissuade me. If I accept, asI think I shail, I will go to-morrow.” MIS FITNESS FOR THE POSITION OFFERED HIM. General Newton would retire for age on the 24th of next August, so that by retiring after forty years’ service he would shorten his term as chief of engineers but one year. It is hardly likely that next August he would have the xood fortune to be selected for a position so acce table to him, and no ore entertains any doubt about his’ becoming commissioner of public works in New York. He is familiar with the duties of the office, having been stationed in New York for several years, where he gained a world-wide reputation for the engineering feat, of blowing up Hell Gate. It Is the general belief sthat the city of New York is to be congratulated upon securing the services of such an able and experienced engineer as Gen, Newton for its commissioner of public works. HIS SUCCESSOR AS CHIEF ENGINEER, There seems to be no doubt but that Col. Jas. C. Duane, at present president of the board of engineer officers on fortifications, stationed in New York, will be selected to succeed Gen. Newton as chief of engineers, Although he stands third on the list of engineer officers in int of rank, his chances are decidedly the est. Col. Charles S. Stewart, who stands first on the list, isin very bad health, and will in all probability be piaced upon the retired list very shortly. Col. Charles E. Blunt, who Is next 1n rank, will be retired next February, and that fact ‘precludes his selection to be chiet of engineers. Col. Duane will have two years to erve before bis retirement, ana besides his recognized abilities as an’ engineer officer would add to the likelihood of his being ap- pointed. Gen, Newton’s salary in his new position will be $8,000 a year.

Caldwell, who lives at 1229 Maryland avenue, on the line of the railroad tracks, has commenced fight alone and ina novel way against the railroad company with the view cf compelling the company to stop loading and unloading freight in the street. Mr, Caldwell stated toa Srar reporter to-day that ke adopted his plan at the suggestion of Commissioner Webb, but it had not worked well, ‘The plan Is to take out a warrant every day for the railroad company, charging it with obstructing the streets. He began two weeks ago and has sworn out several warrants and gave the name of the consiznees of goods and the drivers of wagons us witnesses. That was the main point,” said) Mr, Caldwell, “I de- sired to have these persons summoned, so that aiter awhile persons receiving goods would complain avout being brought before the Police Court every day.” But the authorities have not “summoned them, O1 all. the warrants I have taken out’ cases have been made of only two, and the at- torney summoned only Mr. McKeever and my- self as witnesses. Of course that did no good, as the railroad company could easily pay the fine. One of these cases | abandoned, as it ap- peared to be useless to yo on with it. ‘The other case was certified up to the Criminal Court. My neighbors are with me in the elfort to have the evils from which we suffer removed and have Joined me in petitioning the Commissioners. ‘As Thad more leisure tia most of them I un- dertovk to uy the plan of getting out « warrant daily.” A LETTER TO THE COMMISSIONERS. Mr. Caldwell to-day sent the following letter to the District Commissioners: “I called upon you in behalfand at the request of the siguers of the memorial sent, you in relation to the un- loading of freight and storiug of cars on Mary land avenue, between 11th and 14th streets southwest, by the Baltimore and Potomie rall- roud company. Acting according to your in- struction to consult with Mr. Davis (wlio is act- ing in the place of Mr. Riddle) I did so; he re- quested me to inform you tat under the late decision of the Court in General Term (whieh decision I lett with you) 1t was the duty of the Commissioners, through the direct intervention Of the police, to’ keep the avenue between those points clear of cars, eitter tor the purpose of louding or unloading or for storaze, ahd that he would give you his written opinion bearing on the case when called upon, Will you have the kindness to do us this jus- tice to get this opinion and uet upon it, thereby relieving us of agreat wrong and myself of an onerous burden of swearing out warrants against the railroad officers, which 1s not at all congenial to my habits?” iri i a The Political Field.

Many of the Rifles, with azeal born of a de- termination to have 9 good time, are out early and remain away late, on fishing, boating, bathing and meion excursions, while the few who are on duty in camp indulge in only such mild pleasures. as flirting and impromptu shooting and base ball matches. Capt. Oyster and Lieut. Manson did some good shooting at seventy-five yards’ range. The latter won the honors by scoring two bull’s eyes in succession. Apropos of fishing, it may be mentioned that the daughter of one of Washington's most Prominent citizens has just landed the hand- somest member of the Rifles. When I say landed it must be taken literally, for the troth was plighted on the beach, and a little shining pebble valued at $2,500 was given to the fortu- nate young lady in return for her heart, The news has invigorated the boys wonderfully although they “have not lost an opportuni since they boarded the Arrowsmith Saturd: night. And such opportunities for love-mak- ing! “Dancing in the pavillon morning and evening to the excelient music ofthe Weceacoe band, quiet strolls along the beach, and confi- dential chats on the hotel verandas in the evenings, «ill so tempting that it is not strange the boys violate camp regulations.

AN IRISH LANDLORD CREATES A SCENE IN THE HOUSE 9F COMMONS, During the debate in reply to the queen’s speech 1n the house of commons last night there was a lively word battle between Mujor Saun- derson, a conservative member and an Irish landlord, and Mr. Matthew Harris, Parnellite member for East Galway. Major Saunderson quoted an extract trom a speech made in Octo- ber, 1850, by Harris, in which the latter said that it the farmers shot the landlords like partridges he would not blaine them. Mr, Har- ris claimed that he was misquoted, as Major Saunderson did not give the context. Being permitted to make an explanation, Mr. Harris commenced a discursive statement, to the effect that in 1544 he went into tue Riband lodges in Westmeath and elsewhere in an endeavor to put down agrarian crime. Major Saunderson then twitted Mr. Harris with being a member of the Riband order. Mr, Harris declared this statement to be “an iniatnous falsehood.” The speaker made him withdraw the words. Major Suunderson, resuming his speceh, suid that ail elasses of trade in Ireland were’ more or less depressed, except that of the professiona! Irish pouticlan. That never more flourishing than now. The Purneilites, be suid, were trying to exterminate the landlords by & system of terrorism. Mr, Parnell was like an engineer. He could turn on or shut off steam at will, Mr. Parnell held the throttle-valve of crime in ireland. He bad opened it before and it was in his power to doit again when he chose to. Major Saunderson was required to withdraw his words relating to Mr. Purnell, but remarked Uhat he still maintained his private opinion of the correctness of the languaze he hud used. In conclusion Major Saunderson said that ‘the Parnellites would find before long that they ‘were not dealing with a craven government, | and that the government would not let the control of Ireland tail into the hands of the league. +o. _____ Rev.
