It is now at the Baltimore and Potomac depot, and awaltsits occu. pants, fully equipped and arranged for the long and eventful trip. Without question it is the Alnest train seen bere. ‘THE THREE CARS THAT CONSTITUTE THE TRAIN are the combination vestibuled car Alfarata, the vestibuled car Velasco, and President Pullman's private car, the P.

These are joined together with the vestibule and make one continuous car, Passengers being able tO pass froin one to the other without exposure to the weather. ‘The for- ward part of the Aifarata 13 octupied by the dynamo for the electricity which will light the entire train. A well filled lzrder also occupies a. good place in the apartment devoted to baggage. ‘The car also contains berths, bath-room, barber chair, and a smoking and reading room.

IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE FIRST CONTROLLER. ‘The Acting Secretary of War, in a communica- ton to the Secretary of the Treasury, raises the ‘question ot Lue right of the heads of Deparunents to have advanced to their disbursing agents public money in excess of the penalty of any bonds they may have given, He thinks that such advances can be made under section 3648 of the Revised Statutes, Which gives the Prestient authority to order such advances, and that the heads of Departinents are presumed to be acting under the autuority of the President in #salng such advances, and can ask the same without his e: press direction. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury relers the letter to the First Controller for report. ‘Yue First Co troller reports ‘that no_ advance of public money can be made to any one for any pur- pose Whatever, unless the President, by his order, directs the same to be done, and to whom; and, that this advauce should not éxceed the pénaity of Lue disbursing officer's bond, except_in special cases, “He reports that "the first gen. eral order for ‘such advances was by Presl dent Pierce in March, 1863; and that order lisaits the sum advanced to the amount Of the security given by the person to whom the advance is tnade. ‘The Controiier holds that, that order i still binding, and willso remain until re. voked by Executive Order or coutravened by. some act of Congress, He reports Uhat the secretaries of the Treasury” lave observed that order except 1b a few tnstuiices, viz: disbursing officers Who pay the salaries of the’ various ofiicets and employes of the Government, having the money thus advanced in theit hands but a short tue, and Where payments are suvject to inspection at any Utne, and Whose vouchers are presumed to be in Lue respective departments. He recommends that, advances be not made in excess of the penalty of the respective bonds given, except th special cases referred to. ‘The Shepherd Reviewing Stand. WHY THE LABORING MEN DZCLINE TO PARTICIPATE IN ‘THE PROCESSIO’ A trouble has riseu in connection with the ar- rangements for the reception to ex-Gov. Shepherd, which may result in the withdrawal of all the labor organizations that, 1t was expected, would take part im the procession. At the last meeting of the Federation of Labor Unions the invitation to organizations represented there to take part in the procession Was declined. ‘This action was taken, 1U was stated, because the executive com- inittes ad given the contract for building the re- viewing stand to Mr. D. J. Macarty, who they asserUls @ non-union inan, “Another reason alleged for the uction Is Lue prominent part taken In the arrangements by Mr. Aibert Gleason, with whom the Knights of Labor had a contest when Mr, Gleason interested himself in send- ing men from this city to fill the places of striking car-drivers in New York. Mr. E. W. Oyster, president of the Federation, has written a letter oultying the comunittee of’ arrangements of the action of the Federation, Mr. C. S. Moore, chairman of the comunittee on ‘civie parade, said to a Sran reporter to-day that he had received such a letter. It expressed sympathy with the urposes of ‘the demonstration, but stated that jabor organizations could not, under the clreumn- stances, take part Init, Mr. Moore expressed the hope Ulat the matter wouid be satisfactorily ar- ranged, ‘The committee had expected, he Said, Uhat there would be several thousand men in line from the labor organizations. Itis stated that no contract for building the re- viewing stand has been made. A Conspiracy Charged. THE REMARSABLE STATEMENTS MADE BY H.
