Pennsylvania and New York Troops Coming to Washington. OFFICERS ARRANGING FOR QUARTERS FOR THEIR MEN—CHAIRMAN BRITTON MAKES FURTHER AP- POINTMENTS, Mr. A. T. Britton, chairman of the inaugura- tion committee, to-day appointed Mr. J. W. Thompson as a member of the executive com- mittee. He appointed also Mr. L. P. Wright as chairman of the committee on public comfort and 2 member of the executive committee. Mr. Britton will invite the various gentlemen appointed to serve on the committees to meet Saturday evening. So far all those appointed have accepted the appointments and duties aesigned them, except General Boynton, chairman of the press committee. Mr. Britton consulted all the others but Gen. Boynton before announcing thefr appoint ments. Gen. Boynton, however, is absent from the city. “There was such a consensus of opinion demanding his appointment,” said Mr. Britton to a Star reporter oy, “that I disregarded the rule I made for myself and ap- pointed him without consulting him.” CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC CoM- FORT. Mr. L. P. Wright, who was appointed to-day as chairman of tho committee on public com- fort, served in that capacity at President Cleve- land’s inauguration. Ho was the only republi- can that served as a chairman at that time. He gave a month’s labor to the work of his com- mittee, and sq systematized matters that all who desired quarters secured them. “I left the depot for my home at 3 o’clock on the morning of inauguration,” he said toaSrar reporter to-day, with a pardonable glow of ride, “I was very tired, but Thad the satis- ‘action of knowing that no one had to walk the streets for lack of accommodations.” THE FIRST PENNSYLVANIA REGIMENT LOOKING FOR QUARTERS. Mr. Wright called upon Mr. Britton to-day and accepted the appointment. He was just in time, for at that moment three officers of the first Pennsylvania regiment arrived to obtain information ches aged quarters. ‘These were Col. Wendell P. Bowman, Major J. Lewis Goode and Quartermaster F. P. Koones. They had a consultation with Mr. Britton and then went off with Mr. Wright to look at buildings that might be secured for the 2ccommodation of their regiment. ‘We consider it part of the duty of the first regiment,” said Col. Bowman toa Srar reporter, “to attend the — rations of the governor of the state and of the President of the United States. We have at- tended every presidential inaugaration since the war, except one.” ‘i “How many men do you expect to bring?” asked THe STaR man, ‘About 800,” said the colonel. Maj. Goode, in conversation with Taz Stag reporter, said that it was not yet decided whether the whole national ‘d of Pennsyl- vania would come as it did four years ago or not, but at all events the first brigade, com- manded by Gen. Geo, R. Snowden, and com- prising the Philadelphia city troops,and num- ering ABoUT 2,300 MEN, WOULD COME. The ist regiment is attached to the 1st brigade. Four years ago the transportation of the troops here was paid for by subscription, and the troops subsisted themselves: Repre- sentative Scott paid a large share of tho expense of transportation. It is not expected that he will be so liberal this year. The State Fencibles and the 3d regiment, of eel have sent committees here already to secure quarters, YOUNG MEN'S REPUBLICAN CLUB OF PHILA- DELPHIA. Col. Bowman, while here, has also secured accommodations for the Young Men’s Repub- lican club.of Philadelphia at the Riggs House. It is expected the club will bring 500 members. THE SEVENTH REGIMENT COMING. Mr. Wolf has been charged by Col. Emmons Clark, of the famous 7th regiment of New York, to secure quarters for his regiment, which will participate in the inauguration, He has turned the matter over to Col. Moore. peed TOO MUCH BANDANA. An Ex-Official Whose Presence at the League House Caused Talk. Political chat in and around the republican national league building has been spiced by a warmth of expression that ought, if tradition holds good, to cause somebody's ears to burn. The present outburst of indignation has for its target an ex-official of one of the departments. This gentleman was appointed to office during the early days of the war and held on without abreak until the incoming of the present ad- inistration. Then his place was wanted for one of Senator Gorman’s friends. When the news of Thurman's nomination as the demo- cratic candidate for Vice-President arrived here the ex-official was said to have shown his atification by displaying red bandanas from is present place of business. His conduct attracted considerable attention. Democrats and republicans alike were astounded; tho former because lee § had never known the ex-oficial to be of their party, the latter because he was supposed to be a publican. Time rolled along, and the ex- ofticial may have thought the incident had been forgotten. When the city was in an up- roar on Wednesday night he quietly sineed in and made himself at home in the league build- ing. Here he remained for a couple of hours liplomatically enthusiastic—and finally de- arted for home. In the newspapers next day e was mentioned as ‘“‘one of a small crowd of prominent republicans” who reviewed the pa- from | ie headquarters. That newspa- per agraph caused all the trouble. gentleman's presence had not been noticed by Heading members of the league because of the crowd incidental to such an occasion, but a re- porter had seen him in a prominent ‘place, in republican company, and that settled it. Last night a number of the league members were discussing the matter, and their language, for the most part, was vigorous in the extreme. “The rsa building,” said one of them, ‘was on that occasion open to all republicans, rich or poor, but to no others. No man who decorated the front of his office with bandanas after being in republican service for more than a ae of acentury (and who was turned out by the ‘bandana’ party) has a right to set his foot on the doorstep of a house dedicated by republicans to republicanism.” 4 Sea ov sain A Conjuring Ballot-box. A CURIOSITY WHICH MR. QUAY EXHIBITS TO HIS FRIENDS AT THE LEAGUE. Mr. Quay has an ingenious ballot-box which is shown asa curiosity to some of his friends at republican league headquarters. It was purchased down south, and is of a sort said to be TUNNEL DISCLOSURES. Another Exciting Day in the Military | Court of Inquiry. SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY OF rs ee PALMER — HB SAYS @THAT INSPECTOR LUCAS MADE CORRUPT PROPOSALS TO HIM—HOW THEY MIGHT MAKE MONEY BY FRAUDS IN THE | WORK—LUCAS AND O'BRIEN THE ONIA IN- SPECTORS PAID BY THE CONTRACTORS. The investigation, by a military court of in- quiry, as to the responsibility for faulty work in the aqueduct tunnel, was continued to-day at the War department. TESTIMONY OF SUB-CONTRACTOR PALMER. The first witness was Sub-contractor John F. Palmer, He said he was fally acquainted with all the details of the specifications and he did his best to carry out the requirements. Twice, | however, he had discovered faulty work, once | at Rock creek and agnin at Foundry branch. This he had torn out and reconstructed prop- erly, Witness said he had placed implicit confidence in his foremen and never supposed that they were neglecting their duty. He was particularly anxious to have the work properly done. Mr. Quackenbush had WARNED HIM AGAINST “SHODDY” WoRK, and on one occasion told witness that he did not want any “ New York work on this tunnel. Witness said he was continually in the tumel. Since the time when ho was first connected | with the tunnel he had only been absent one working day. He had not, he confessed, ex- amined the work very closely, because he trusted his foremen, “Witness denied most strenuously the allegation made by ¢x-Foreman Frank B. "Thom to the effect that he (Pal- mer) compelled the workmen to build three centers each day, There was no fixed amount of work for each gang of meu, Witness fre- quently got on the scaffold where the brick- layers and packers were at work, but he NEVER SAW ANY BAD WORK. : Witness was somewhat uncertain as to whether or not he had given orders to hurry the work. He might, he said, havo expressed himself as to the quantity of oonstruction which he thought onght to be done cach day, but that was all. He gave very strict orders as to the quality of the work; it ‘was to be solid and good. General Ruger then examined the witness ateonsiderable length oa. the subject of em- loying government sub-inspectors aa foreme ed eo lmepars: Palmer admitted that ho ter regular hours. e only inspec — were Lucas and O’Brien and the only duty ey performed was that of time-keeping; they were not foremen. Witness said that his understanding of the specifications was such that he felt at liberty to gpenge men who were not practical masons to the packing work. He had discussed the matter with Chief Inspector Kerlin, and they had agreed that skilled masons were neither necessary nor were they demanded by the specifications, fitness employed men who had done what was considered to be fair masonry work, but they were not experts. DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE SPECIFICATIONS. Gen. Ruger handed the witness a copy of the specificatidns, and after reading them, Palmer said: “These may be the same as those I saw before our work bogan, but they read differ- ently now.” Witness said he had conversed with Mr. Quackenbush on the questiou of un- skilled men as packers, and Mr. Quackenbush was of opinion that skilled labor wa not neces- sary. 48 TO THE MOTIVE OF THE KENDALL BROTHELS. In answer to a question by Col. Craighill as to what motive the Kendall. had for making the affidavits on whi the investiga- tion was based, witness said he could not understand sg pod should have acted as they did. He always treated the Kendalis well, They had, he was satisfied, done as much as any of the others to conceal from wit- ness the bad work. They knew of witness’ coming and going and said nothing. Witness inclined to the belief that if there had been an organized conspiracy to ruin him it could not lve been more successfully carriedon. Gen. Ruger quieted the witness at this point and galled his attention to the fact that two of the Kendall Brothers were in the room at the time. INSPECTOR LUCAS ON THE PACKING QUESTION. Cross-examined by Capt. Chester, witness said that Inspector Lucas had told him that the packing above the arch was a waste of material; it was unnecessary. Lucas had told witness at one time that if he oa) was the only in- spector in the tunnel he would make some money forhim. At the request of Lucas wit- ness employed Lucas’ grandson as a inessenger in the nel, at 50 cents a day. Lucas com- Pl "s remuner- ation, and said that it was a very little in view of the valuable services which he (Lucas) was rendering. INSPECTOR LUCAS ON THE CEMENT QUESTION. Witness had a conversation with Lucas as to the quantity of cement necessary. About sev- enty barrels a day were used, and Lucas sug- gested to witness that he get the cement and sand contract from Beckwith & Quackenbush. If he would put him (Lucas) in charge of the cement supply he would do the work with twenty barrels a day; “that,” said Lucas, “would be 250 a day in your pocket.” Witness said that was out of the question. A day or two after the conversation on cement witness dis- charged Lucas’ \dson, and at noon of that day witness and Lucas met on the surface. Lucas said to him, “You have dismissed the boy?” Witness said, ‘‘Yes; he was impudent and disagreeable.” Lucas then said, “John, Tm com ro SQUEEZE You.” Shortly after that Lucas recommended a man named Wrenn asa good packer. “Lucas told me,” said the witness, “that Wrenn was a first-rate packer and one of the smartest cheats ever in a tunnel, but he will cost you $8 or "ittne Foplied, “IE he is good packer I i re] ‘If he isa er want him, but I will pay him no more thanI do any other packer.

Mr. Gladstone has always maintained that his de- feat in 1886 was due chiefly to the unpopulari- ty of the land purchase scheme, and the success of the unionists in making votes to the belief that he had not definitely withdrawn th® pro- to grant public money to Iaudlords.

He Says His Captors Acted Like Brie gands and that the Affair was an Outrage. Ex Paso, Tex., Nov. 16.—Major T. H. Logan, of the iifth infantry, commanding at Fort Han- cock, 49 miles east of El Paso, who, together with three United States soldiers, was arrested while on a bunt across the Rio Grande, in Mexico, last Sunday, arrived here last evening. The party was arrested Sunday afternoon and detained till Tuesday morning. Major Logan says his captors were five in number and did their work in regular “hold up” style, drawing Winchesters on the Americans and disarming them. The capturing force belonged to the gendarme’s guards of the states and they seem to be in bad repute with the Mexican citizens and customs officials, who ex) d great in- dignation at the arrest. The president of the town of Guadeloupe, where the major and his soldiers were taken, prevented their captors from lockiag them up, as they first to do.

Objecting Strongly to the Appointment of Mr. Blake as Governor. Loxpox, Nov. 16.—Sir Arthur Hunter Pal- mer, acting governor of Queensland, has tele- graphed to Lord Knutsford, the colonial secre- tary, notifying him of the ition in the colony to the appointment of Mr. Henry Arthur jake as governor. He says that Mr. Blake is not known to have administered a responsible government with discretion and success, and that Queensland is entitled to have a governor of proved ability and discretion. Mr. Blake's experience in colonial govern is confined toa year's governorship of New Foundland, while his previous experience would only dis- qualify him for the duties he would be called on to perform. The objection to Mr. Blake im Queensland, Mr. Palmer says, was —- ous, immediate and general, and was more strongly accentuat because the nomination followed a crisis in which id adberence to the exercise of privilege to give way to His ag 9 then relaxed, and he fell e road-bed. Moon is sup- ps to have been killed instantly. He, too, ell on the front of the engine, but rolled off. Moon was a single man. Baltimore Insurance Rates.
