Representative Wilson, the chairman of the sub- cominittee of the House appropriations committee on the District appropriation bill, was in this city on Saturday. Speaking with aSrar reporter about the concern of the Commissioners because of the decision of Controller Durham that they could not use the appropriation for streets in ex- cess of the adopted schedule of work, he said, that the Controller's decision was clearly right. The committee knew when the bill was passed how It would be. It was their intention to rearrange the schedule, but it was so late when the distribu- tion of the money as to various sections of the city was decided upon that there was not a Moment of time left to readjust the schedule. ‘They, therefore, had to let it go, knowing that, the ‘surplus fee could not be ‘until re- appropriated by Congress. ee The Bierstadt Pictures at the White i House, WHY THE PRESIDENT DECLINED TO RECOMMEND AN ' APPROPRIATION Tv PURCHASE TERM. Astory has been published to the effect that when Mr. Alley recently called at the White House to induce the Prestdent to recommend to ‘Congress the purchase of the Bierstadt paintings, which hang in the White House, the President not only declined to do so, but clearly intimated that the paintings were not highly apprectated byriiinselt or Mie cleveland, ‘Cat Pameen sald @ Stak reporter to-day that the paintings were in thelr present place when President Cleveland took possession of the White House, and he did not feel it incumbent upon him to’make any recom- mendation regarding their purchase.

ORDERS OF THE INTRESTATE COMMISSION. ‘The Interstate Commission, late Saturday after. noon, made an order suspending for seventy-five days on the Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, and St. Louts and San Francisco Railroads, the fourth section of the interstate law, with a proviso that intermediate (local) rates shall not beraised above those in force April 20. In connection with this order the Com. jon made public an official invitation calling upon all persons interested in the fourth section to make known their complaints in order that all in- terests may be heard before the final action of the Commission in reference to the clause is taken. At the same lime the roads are alled upon to prepare and adopt tarifls which shall attempt to meet in good faith the requirements of the act. ‘The Commission declined to suspend the fourth section for certain New England roads that were represented Dy Mr. C.

Views of a New Jersey Republican Con- NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATS FOR CLEVELANDS’S RENOMI- NATION IF NEW YORK LEADS THE WAY—BLAINE THE: ‘REPUBLICAN PAVORITR—NO SECOND CHOICE. A Star reporter met Representative Buchanan to-day. He says that in his own party there are ‘some civil service reformers in New Jersey, but heknows of none among the democrats of the State. The democrats, fie says, are not fond of Mr. Cleveland's admintstration, but they recog- nize that he led them to victory, and that goes a long way toward reconciling them to him. They will befor him if they think he can win again. It depends, he says, upon how the New York dele- gation goes. If they are for Cleveland the New Jersey delegation will go the same way. Speaking of his own partyhe sald: “If Mr. Blaine says he will not have the nomination he Will not get 1t. If he does not say this he 1s sure to be noininated. His decision will depend upon What he thinks of the outlook. ‘The republicans of New Jersey, except the few New York brokers who live there and who furnished the mugwump con- nt in ’$4, are all for Mr. Blaine.” “Who will be their next choice, if Mr. Blaine de- elines?” the reporter asked. “Did you ever have a ‘best girl” was the reply. “Then you know that there 18 no second chotce. Mr. Biaine is our best gir. Weare not looking for ‘any other. We are too much for him to permit our thinking of any other.” —— re A Democratic Bench. ‘THE POLITICS AND THE PATRONAGE OF THE SUPREME ‘COUKT OF THE DISTRICT. ‘There ts some speculation as to whether there Will not be some changes in the offices controlled by the Supreme Court of the District, to which Chief Justice Bingham hus recently been ap- pointed.

A new point has been raised in connection with the Corporatton ordinance of December 2, 1864, under which prosecutions for keeping business places open on Sunday have been begun. The point has been raised by lawyers in discussing the case. It has also been raised in police circles by merchants of the Israelitish faith who observe Saturday as the Sabbath, and think it hard that they should be obliged to observe Sunday also, so far as business is concerned. The point is that the ordinance of 1604 prohibits the opening of business places, not on Sunday, but “on the Sabbath day.” It is ar- gued that Sunday 1s not the Sabbath day, but that Under the old Hebrew law Saturday was ‘the Sab- bath. It 18 a question for Biblical scholars as Well as lawyers. In the law it 1s said ‘there 1s no day known as the Sabbath. All the other Sunday laws refer to the day as “Sunday,” or as “the first day of the week, commonly known as Sunday.” ——— Mr. Cleveland to Mr. Childs.

The St, Louis Republican’s Correspon- = om the Presidential Declination. The St. Louls Republican's Washington corres- Pondent, again referring tothe Presidential re- homination matter, says a story has come to him, significantly confirmatory of the conversation be- tween the President and his Senatorial visitor, and fs to the effect that the President had quite recently prepared a formal letter, to be made pub- Uc, setting forth his views in regard to the second term in plain, distinct words, and unqualifiedly declaring that he would not be a candidate for re- election, This story 1s told on the authority of Col, Dorshetmer, of New York, who was in Wash- ington a few days ago. He sald the letter referred at length to the opposition of a certain element of the democratic party to the re-election of Mr. Cleveland, and the chance that this might defeat the ticket. He therefore announced in unequivo- calterms that. he was nota candidate, and sug- Rested that some other leader whocould command © united support of the whole party be selected asthe standard-bearer in 1888, Col. Dorsheimer Stated that he at once protested against any pub- Uc nse of such a letter as proposed, He told the President there was no need for him to adopt this Step now, Whatever might prove to be wise here- after. He urged the President to abandon the idea forthe present at uny rate, and nally Induced him to yield to his persuasions. A Positive Denial from Col, Isamont. A Stak reporter asked Col. Lamont to-day about the story, for which Mr. Dorshetmer 1s given as authority, that the President had written a letter declining renomination, “It 18 not true,” answered the colonel, “Mr. Dorshelmer himself denied 1t some time ago, you remember.” What Senator Vest says. ‘HE DON'T BELIEVE THE STORY ABOUT THE LETTER, BUT STICKS TO TAR CONVERSATION ABOUT DECLIN- ING. RENOMINATION. A Stax reporter met Senator Vest at the Capitol ‘to-day, and in the course of conversation remarked to him: “Itisnow stated that Col. Dorshelmer Says the President prepared a letter formally re- fusing a second term.” “I don’t believe the President has ever written any such letter,” said the Senator, “or that he has ever thought of writing @ letter of that kind, In my opinion all’ that “he has ever sald tipon ‘the subject of a renomination was, in substance, ‘What he said to me; and ne sald the same to ex- Senator McDonald, to Morrisoa, to Carlisle, and to other democrats. “That was that he had no desire for @ second term; that his ambition was to ad- minister the government in such a manner that any democrat could be elected. ‘The Presiuent 1s, an honest, conscientious public servant, striving to do the best that 1s possible for the whole coun- try.

Ex-Representative Stevens, of New York, sald to a Stak reporter to-day: President Cleveland will not go into the hust- ings and buy up votes; he will not use patronage to secure renomination, but if the democrats offer hita the nomination he will accept it.” “Can he get the New York delegation?” the re- Porter asked. ‘He can if he wants it.

He has given the country an honest and clean administration, and the people in all parts of the country appreciate it, ‘The grumbling of those who thought the only thing todo was to turn republicans out is dying out, and it will not rejudice Mr. Cleveland's chances.

THE DISEASE NOT NEARLY $0 GENERAL AS IN THE ‘SPRING OP 1881—TALKS WITH STABLEMEN, VETERI- NARY SURGEONS AND OTHERS. “Pink-eye,” the popular name of adisease among horses, prévails to some extent in this city at Present, but according to the statements of livery- stable nen, veterinary surgeons and others, who are largely interested in the matter, itis not so general this spring ast was in 1881. There1s, to be sure, quite a number of cases throughout the city, but the proprietors of two of the largest very stables in the city sald this morning that there was not a single case in their stables, and had not been this year. Mr. Burgdorf, the livery-stable man, told a Star reporter to-day that out of eighty or ninety horses in his stable there were only two sick with the matady, one of his own and one belonging to a tron.” The malady, he said, was not dangerous it horses were treated right when it first sprans if they were kept confortable, not worked, an their wels were kept open. At this time, he sald, after the winter and the wet weather of 5 horses were liable to Such complaint. ‘AU Mccaully’s stabies, between 9th and’ 10th id O streets, from fifteen to twenty horses, most of them owned by private persons, are dis- abled by the pink-eye. A VETERINARY SURGEON DESCRIBES THE DISEASE. Dr. Bushman, the veterinary surgeon, in talking on this subject with a STaR reporter this morn- ing, sald: “Pink-eye, as it 1s generally called, be- cause of the pecullar color of the membrane of the eyes when horses are affiicted in this way, fs a kind Of influenza, accompanied by high fever, refusal to | eat, and general lassitude. There ts more or less of itevery year in the spring and fall, and it may becalled, in a general way, an epidemic, which 1s probably caused by dampzess in the air. I only ‘speak of these as the conditions of the di not the cause, for on the latter point fain novat all cer- tain. Itis not contageous, One horse does not givelt to another. When a horse is taken with the disease, if he is removed at once to the stable and properly cared for, he Will be well in four or five days. ‘The disease 1s not fatal, but when a horse in a bad condition 1s attacked, dangerous secondary diseases are likely to be developed. In 1881. I remember that nearly every horse in the city had it, but this year it has’ not interfered ‘with business, and very few horses are laid up.” THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HORSES ALL RIGHT. Chief Parris, of the fire department told a Star repofter_ to-day that no horse in the depart- ment had so far been afflicted by the malady. ‘They had some horses on the invaild list, some thiat would ‘go lame occasionally, but. these were horses that had been Worn out in’the service. All the new horses in the he said, were §n good condition.
