NEW DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS. Mr. Webb’s Term Expires Next Janu- ary—Mr. Wheatley’s Next March. SPECULATIONS AS TO THE COURSE PRESIDENT CLEVELAND WILL PUBSUE—WILL HE APPOINT 4 SUCCESSOR TO MR. WEBB--THE ENGINEER COMMISSIONER, ‘The citizens of Washington will soon begin to interest themselves in the appointment of a new District commissioner. It is not likely that the President has taken time yet to con- sider this question, but Mr. Webb’scommission expires on the 13th of January, and Mr. Cleve- land will have an opportunity to appoint his successor, He may not desire to avail himself of this opportunity, but his attention will soon be called to the matter. It was originally in- tended that vacancies in the District commis- sionership should occur @ year apart, but this order was broken when Mr. Morgan was ap- pointed to succeed Mr. Phelps. Mr. Phelps’ term was nearly expired, and instead of being appointed to the unexpired term Mr. Morgan was commissioned for three years, Thismakes the vacancies occur very close together, and one of the last appointments Mr. Cleveland may be called upon to make will be @ successor to Mr. Webb; and one of the first to press upon the attention of Mr. Harrison will juccessor to Mr. Wheatley. Thus, by the irony of fate, Mr. Cleveland is appoint a republican and Mr. Harrison a demo- crat, if they follow ae ‘The Engineer Commissioner fills his position by assignment from the go and is supposed to be politi- cally neutral, but it is the custom to have an officer in sympathy with the administration in that position. No one can guess with any ac- curacy, as yet, who Mr. Harrison may select. It is a desirable place for an engineer officer with the rank of major, ‘Mr. Webb’s term expires, as stated above, on the 13th day of January next. Mr. Wheatley’s expires on the 29th of March, 25 days after Mr. Harrison goes into office. ‘It might happen that in order to give the democrate of the Bie. trict the chance of selecting their representa- tive on the board the President will appoint a democrat to succeed Mr. Webb, leaving Mr. Harrison to appoint a republican in the place of ible Ce this would leave the repub- licans without representation on the board ae ope middle of January until the last of larch. It is Sbought more probable that Mr, Cleve- land will make no appointment at all, allowi: Mr. Webb to serve on until Mr. Hi shall Or, if Mr. veland appoint his successor. should make an appointment, it is a he would reappoint Mr. Webb. Any appointment made, if confirmed by the Senate, would be for a term of three years, and it is not likely that Mr. Harrison would attempt to shorten that time except for cause. The term dates from the day of confirmation by the Senate. OLD MRS. BRENNAN’S TRIP. She Ran Down from Conshohockin to Borrow $800 of the President. Mrs. Annie Brennan, seventy-nine years old, arrived in this city yesterday from Consho- hockin, near Philadelphia. She came to call on the President and request the loan of $300 to finish paying for her house. This morning, bright and early, the old woman appeared at the White House and took a seat in the corri- dor. When asked what her businéss was she explained, and wastold that it was no use to see the President on such an errand. She was sent to police headquarters, where she ap- peared about noon and was directed to see San- any Officer Téeple. The old woman casried with her a small black valise, She was oneiree {nok penmpllitig ar otect eat 81 at not accom} 16 object & her visit The man at the White Howe sho said, told her that the President would not be at home until Friday and that his wife had also = away ona visit, “I wonder if the Presi- nt would not give me something if I could see him?” she inquired. “I believe he would. And that good woman, what is she going to do with that million dollars her grandfather left her? I know she would not refuse me if I could only see her.” She was delighted at the idea of playing such a nice trick on her daughters, She said she left home to visit a friend in Mana- yunk, but borrowed money and came to this city. If her daughters knew where she was they would be frightened, because they think that she {s not able to travel so far; “but,” she added, ‘indeed I can travel as far as any of them, and get along as well as they can.” She was furnished transportation to her home. —_s—____ NEWMAN IN JAIL. The Marriage Advertisement Man and his Female Correspondents. Marion D. Newman, the imprisoned matri- monial adventurer, was committed to jail yes- terday in default of bail. Letters are being received by the police from various cities ask- ing for a description and photograph of the pris- oner. His description will be furnished most of the applicants, but his picture will be furnished only in exceptional cases. The latest letter was received from Harrisburg, Pa., where the officials are very anxious toget his photograph, although they did not say for what purpose they wanted it. All the letters of the prisoner and those sent by him to Mrs. Kate Smith, are stillgin the hands of the police. ONE OF THE WOMEN WHO CORRESPONDED WITH NEWMAN was seen this morning by Detective Raff. She is a department clerk. She admitted that the prisoner had visited her on two occasions, She regarded him as ‘“‘a highly educated gentle- man." She was very desirous of getting back her letters, but the ‘officer still retains them. In most instances the letters are d by the women who wrote them, and only in rare cases have the officers discovered that fictitious names were signed, It is probable. that at the hearing in the Police Court next Tuesday the LETTERS WILL BE OFFERED IN EVIDENCE and made public. Mrs. Kate Smith, who caused the arrest of the man with many aliases, is said to be a Kentuckian by birth. She is employed on one of the numbering presses in the bindery of the government print office. She is suid to have a good voice and has taken part in many concerts in this city. ek The New York Mayoralty Fight. HOW MR. HEWITT CAME TO BE INDORSED BY THE AMERICAN PARTY.

POINTS FROM THE REPORT OF MAJOR HAINS FOR OCTOBER—OCONTRACTS FOR QREDGING AWARDED —WORK To BE DONE THIS MONTH, The chief of engineers has received from Major Hains the monthly report of for the improvement of the Potomac river. The report says that work connected with the con- struction of the reservoir outlet was continned during October. One of the coffer dams for the wing-wall on the upstream side of the structure was completed and the greater part of the necessary excavation was made. A force of stone-cutters and laborers was employed during the month dressing granite for the masonry of the outlet, and at the close of the month the gate-sills and one course of the pier and abutment masonry had roe laid and the second course commenced. Four dredging machines were employed on dredging and em- bankment, working jointly about 715 — in which time they excavated and deposited in the aggregate about 66,400 cubic yards of ma- terial. Proposals for dredging and em- bankment were opened, says the re- port, and awards were made as follows: For about 1,200,000 cubic yards—The California Hydraulic Dredging company, at 121¢ cents per cubic yard; for about 250,000cubic yards—Henry Wilson, at 113¢ semay wl cubic yard; for about 60,000 cubic yards—Thomas P.

All the mate- rial excavated has been deposited on the flate, and up to the present time about 544 acres have been reclaimed from the overflow at or- dinary high tide. Of the 12.000,000cubic yards required to fill the flats to the required height there has been deposited omthem about 6,644,000 cubic yards, The operations for November will include continuation of the construction of the reser- voir outlet and the wing walls. Dredging, under the October contracts, will also be in progress. BIRDS OF A FEATHER. Ornithologists Flock To-day to the National Museum. OPENING DAY OF THE CONGRESS OF THE AMERI- CAN UNION—THE MEMBERS PRESENT—OFFI- CERS ELECTED TO-DAY—LIST OF PAPERS TO BE READ. The sixth congress of the American Orni- thologists’ Union was opened in the lecture- room at the national museum to-day. Be- tween thirty and forty members, active or as- sociate, were present when Dr. J. A. Allen, of New York, the president, called the assembly toorder. This union was organized in 1883, and numbers now in its membership the lead- ing ornithologists of the country, It has in its comparatively short existence accomplished much, Its chief service for science has been, perhaps, the establishment of a stable nomen- clature. From a popular point of view the at- titude taken and the results accomplished in the way of protecting birds from destruction for millinery purposes has been the most im- rtant work’ of the union, Much been me by the union in investigations of matters relating to the birds of North America. The soci iblishes as its & monthly called The A’ One of the | r9 members of the union, —— to a Srar re- to-day before the meeting, remarked it was to be regretted that effects of ‘union and of the Audubon soc’ to create a sentiment that would do away the use of as millinery ornaments seemed to have been unavailing. Fora time it became unfashionable for women to wear birds on the hat, but now it was fashionable again and the destruction of birds for this purpose was con- tinued. THE BUSINESS TO-DAY. J. A. Allen, of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, is president of the union; Dr. Elliott Coues and Robert Ridgway, of this city, vice-presidents; Dr. C. Hart Mer- riam, of the agricultural bureau, secretary; Wm. Dutcher, of New York city, treasurer. The other members of the council present to- day were Chas. B. Cory, of Boston; Henry W. lenshaw and Leonhard Stejneger, of the mithsonian. To-day’s business was opened by the secretary, Dr. Merriam, who read the minutes of the last congress and a report giv- ing a summary of the history of the union. Mr. Dutcher presented his report as treasurer. The council in its report submitted a letter from Col. N. 8. Goss, urging that We union take steps to provide for a uniform rule for the measurement of North American birds. The council had referred the matter toa committee. The committee has also appointed a commit- tee to incorporate the union under the laws of the District. The remainder of the morning. session, which closed at 1 o’clock, was taken up by the election of officers. The old officers were all re-elected ey that Mr. McIlwraith was elected a member of the council to repre- sent Canada in place of Mr. Chamberlain, who has moved from Canada, MEMBERS PRESENT.

Special Cable Dispatch to Tux Eveniwo Star, Lonpon, Nov. 13.-There is a sharp division of opinion over Gen. Warren's resignation. The radicals make no attempt to conceal their delight at the downfall of the man whom they style the dictator. The tories are greatly dis- appointed. Their attacks on the police were really aimed at Matthews, who has no friends in his own party, and would probably have been ousted from his post long ago but for the fact that the government feared the result of a bye-election in Birmingham, for if Matthews were no longer home secretary he would re- tire from parliament and resume practice as a barrister. The radicals — out that Warren resigned on the eve of the anniversary of the riot in Trafalgar square, caused by police in- terference, which is to be commemorated by indignation meetings this week. The govern- ment was reluctant and only accepted his resig- nation to avoid the imminent RISK OF A DEFEAT IN THE COMMONS, Several names are mentioned in connection with the succession to Warren's post. The most likely candidate is Malcolm Wood, the chief of the Manchester police, who greatly dis- tinguished himself in the detection of the au- thors of dynamite outrages. Howard Vincent, another candidate, was a failure as the head of the detective department at Scotland Yard. Moreover he would tory member for Sheffield and thus cause an election. Lord Charles Beresford is also men- tioned. He was actually offered the post when Henderson retired. He first refused and then accepted when too late. Since then, however, there has arisen a strong impression in the public mind that no military or naval man should be appointed to such & post. The new commissioner will not have control of the de- tective police. There is no truth in the rumor that Harting- ton has determined to join the cabinet. > INDIANA’S RATIFICATION. The Proposed Demonstration at In- dianapolis Postponed to Saturday. Inpranarouis, Inp., Nov. 13.—The State rati- fication meeting, fixed to take place Wednesday night, the 14th instant, was at a late hour last night postponed by Chairman J. N. Huston and other members of the committee of arrange- ments until Saturday, the 17th instant. Com- laints reached the committee yesterday from e interior and from the railroad companies that Wednesday did not afford them ‘ient time in which for and participate in a big State demonstration, such as the commit- ad in view. Chairman Huston is at his home in Connersville, but on learning of the complaints, he telegraphed his friends and | hay members of the committee authorizing a post- — until Saturday, thus enabling clubs om Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland and other tities to be present if they desired. Gen. Harrison will, it is un Place himself in the hands of the committee for that day, and will hold a F sap 9 reception in tho afternoon, either at the Capitol or the City , a8 the committee may determine at their meeting this afternoon. In the evening, the President-elect will review the le if the weather permits of cae. This will probably be the last public demonstration in which Gen. Harrison will in any way participate prior to his de for Washington next spring, as he anticipates a season of rest und quiet after next Saturday, which will enable him to give his attention to his correspondence and to mat- ters requiring serious consideration. STOCKS FEVERISH AND WEAK. The Activity in Wall Street Greater Than Anything Seen in Months. New Yorx, Nov. 13.—The stock market opened with a rush this morning, the presture tosell being very heavy and the activity some- thing beyond anything seen for months. The market was extremely weak, and first prices | showed declines from last evening's closing figures of from tolper cent, the latter in Lake Shore and uri Pacific. The market — weak and feverish from the “ee sd ie greatest pressure was upon the Vander- bilts and Lake Shore and Michigan Central, each losing 2 per cent.

Cuicaco, Nov. 13.—The Times says: Anarchy is not dead or been sleeping. On the contrary it is more thoroughly organized than even at the time of the Haymarket riot, and its mem- ip is than it has ever been. The demonstration of last Sunday at Waldheim was not a gathering of a few pathizers of the friends of the dead anarchists. It was the organized outpouring of the internationals whe have thus arranged to come out —_ concen: trate at any point upon. Inspector Bonfield, who is won hy kept etee- tives watching every movement of the anarch- ists the past few weeks, when asked yesterday if there were many anarchists at the celebra- tion replied: “Yes, there were. Most of them were an- archists.” “Then you think they are still organized and have a large membership?” “I have had men out looking up their meet ings and we know where the and have the name and address of the lea end the most radical anarchists, so we can reach them in case of trouble. They meet in emaller num- bers than before, but there are more of them, and they conduct their meetings differently. There is not so much preparation at meetings for fighting and drilling with arms and explo- sives, but what is far more dangerous, they are thoroughly organized just within the pale of the law, and all we can do is to keep our eves on them. The worst thing about it is they have SEVERAL SCHOOLS FOR TEACHING ANARCHY, which they call ‘anarchy Sunday-schools.’ In these they teach the children to hate law and the officers of the law and the worst princi- ples of anarchy. Why, the wife of a trusted | employe of the county board is the organizer and teacher in one of these schools, and there are no less than 5,000 able-bodied anarchists in Chicago to-day ready and organized, waiting for the appointed time. “Trouble must come sooner or later. They have seta day for it at headquarters, but in the meantime they will avail themselves of every opportunity to carry out their object to destroy all organized law and order instita- tions. They sent out circulars before the eleo- tion asking legislative candidates for an ex- pression of their opinion on the state con- spiracy law enacted at the last session of the legislature. Many of the candidates replied that they were in favor of a modification of the law, and some of these candidates were elected. So, you see, they are becoming wiser, and consequently more dangerous, because the most radical of them are afraid to experiment with explosives as long as the law is as it is.” “You say they gave a day set for an uprising and mentioned headquarters. Have you any information of the internationals?” WHAT THE POLICE CLAIM TO KNOW. “Yes, much more than Ican give you, But you may say that we have positive evidence of their organization, officers, plans, committees, &c, The central point is in London, with Paris as the next, then Brussels, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Sau Francisco. Ali the principal countries have vice-president the Enited States having two, Chicago one a New York the other. In the strength of their numbers they rank: France, first; Germany, second; the British Isles, third, with the United States and Mexico last. In America the cen- tral headquarters is in New York. So far they ve agreed on the one hundredth anniversary of the fall of the Bastile as the day for con- | certed uprising. I do not think the peoplecan take it any too much in earnest. “They may have to change it, but they will certainly make the effort. It must come. That is inevitable.” - ———— Gov. Guy’s Assassination Confirmed. HIS LIFE WAS ATTEMPTED ON SEVERAL PRE VIOUS OCCASIONS. Fort Sarrm, Anx., Nov, 13.—Deputy mar- |shals from the Indian country who arrived here yesterday say they have reliable reports | that Gov.
