At the White House the story is characterized as “nonsense.” ‘The report of the dissatisfaction in official cir- cles 1s based upon the selection of Surgeon Moore to be surgeon general, instead of Dr. Baxter, who was recommended by the Secretary of War, and subsequently by the removal of Dr. Huntington from duty in the surgeon general's office by the the Secretary of War at the instigation, it 1s sald in the published story, of the Baxter influ- ence, and in direct opposition to the wishes of Surgeon General Moore, who complained to the President regarding the unwarranted interference with the administration of his department. This, the story goes, led the Secretary of War to tender his resiguation. i It 1s undertsood the surgeon general did make 2omplaint to the President without, however, the important results as alleged. It is stated on'very good authority that the President has never spoken to the Secretary of War on the subject or even re- ferred to it; that the Secretary lett Washington Friday night for Boston on private business, with the intention of returning on Thursday, and that he has not resigned from the cabii ae NO RAILROAD MEETING HERE, A Star Reporter's Hunt for Richmond ‘Terminal Directors. HE FINDS ONE WHO SAYS THERE IS ANOTHER ONE HERE BUT NOT ON THE SUBJECT OF THE B. & 0.DEAL. A press dispatch in the morning papers from New York stated that severalof the directors of the Richmond Terminal left that city last night for Washington. This tended to confirm rumors afloat in this city of a conference arranged to take place here in relation to the much talked of Baltt- more & Ohio railroad deal. It was reported that the parties to the deal would meet in Washington to consummate the transaction. A Star re- porter set out today to trace the rumors and to ascertian if any of the Rich- mond Terminal directors had arrived in the city, ‘an examimation of the hotel registersfalled to dis: close the arrival of any of the .Urectors, Finally ‘THE Stax reporter found one of these directors, who has been in Washington for several days. He sald he Was not aware of the arrival of any of his associates of the board, nor did he credit the re- Port that any of them are'to come here. SURE NO MEETING IS TO BE HELD HERE. “I am sure no meeting 4s to be held in this city,” he said, “and if there has been a meeting ar- ranged for any place Ihave not been apprised of it.” He added that he had met casually, in this city, Mr. Rutherford, one of the directors, “but,” sald he, “Rutherford is not here on Terminal busi- ness. 1 know that.” Coming down to the subject of the deal the director Said that nothing has yet been consum- mated, “Itis A BIG TRANSACTION,” r he added, “and requires time. I can assure you that nothing has been settled. ‘There are compli- cations that require close study and attention. Why the disposition of the telegraph interests alone Ig a subject of great importance, and cannot be hastily settled.” He said, further, that the negotfations were still pending, ‘but he 'did not believe that anything would be settled for several days. Mr. John G. Moore is still in the city, and will be, perhaps, for several days. He is not aware of any contemplated meeting here. He says the deal has not been arranged. ALL 8ORTS OF RUMORS. Various rumors are in circulation about the deal. A Star reporter was informed under the seal of strict secresy by a party who assumed to bea friend of Mr. Garrett and to know his that “Garrett likes to have a good time, an has an abundance of money, he wants to get cut of the raflroad business. He wants,” continued the knowing individual, “‘to relieve himself of all business burdens. and responsibilities and to be free toenjoy himselt” ‘was communicated to a gentleman it in railroad mat ters, who fidiculed the statement. Sald he: “Whatever deal may be made Garrett will be in it. ‘He wotidn’t give up the prominence aud prestige he has as a railroad president for any considera ton,” and so the rumors and counter-rumors go. With regard to the B. and 0. telegraph, a Stan reporter Was told that Mr. Garrett's plan is to have 1t consolidated with ail the existing Unes in opposition to the Western Union, and to build up a strong and rich rival of the latter corporation, It 1s Sald among those who, as railroad men and Stock "operators, pay close attention to the “deal” that Mr. Jol jure 13 the executive head of the negotiations.

The reporter was informed that so far as the general manager knew none of the directors had reached the city, and hat oMclal discredited the report that any of them had started from New York to Washington.
