Speculation as to the New Elective and Appointiev Officers. i Ispraxaporis, Nov. 22—The question of | elections still agitates the minds of the dele- | gates of the Knights of Labor general as-| sembly. Every one now acknowledges the certainty of Powderly’s re-election and his choice for other positions will be the choice of | the convention. John W. Haye: present gen- eral secretary, is said to be Powderly’s choice for general secretary-treasurer, and although Frei ee treasurer, is a candidate and is deservedly popular, Mr. Hayes stands, | the best c » Mra. L. will, un- | doubtedly, be re-elected to position in charge of woman's work, and if he wishes it, | Richard Griffiths, of Chicago, may continue to serve as general worthy foreman. POWDERLY'S POSSIBLE SELECTIONS, Mr. Powderly’s nominations for members of the general executive board cannot be so read- ily predicted. A Canadian member is desired and W. W. Wright is the man whom the north- ern delegates will suggest. From the south there is also a request for representation on the board. McGuire and Ailsworth, of the present board, and O'Reilly. of New York, and Hugh Cavanagh, of Cincinnati, have been considered liable to be selected. A secondary matter of agitation is the next place of meeting. Toronto has sent a formal invitation for the next meeting, which was adopted Monday evening at the meeting of the | municipal council, and it is favorably regarded by many delegates. Ohio would like to have it, Toledo being the place chosen, and almost any place in the south is the way delegates from that section put it. THE QUESTION OF ADJOURNMENT comes in for a good share of attention from the delegates, and opinions vary greatly, Some think an adjournment may be taken Saturday night, while others look for one or two weeks’ longer stay in this city. At the rate matters have gone thus far a prolonged convention is probable, although the general assembly might refer unfinished business to the board and ad- journ immediately after the selection of offi- cers. There are still a couple of important ap- peals to act upon, and the report of the finance committee has not yet been heard, besides which there is the election of officers, THE BASE-BALL CONVENTION. A New Syndicate Trying to Buy the Philadelphia Club. NewYork, ‘Nov. 22.—The base-ball league delegates continued their session again to-day. Before the body convened the delegates as- sembled in the corridors of the Fifth Avenue hotel and discussed the work of the conven- tion and the probable disposition of Ward and other players who are in demand. Among the . Chris new arrivals was A. enthusiastic man: ung Americas, the leading Philadelphia amateur club. He comes here with the avowed intention of buying the Philadelphia club. He represents syndicate that is willing to give as high as 50,000 for tho club. Messrs. Reach and ‘ogers, of the Philudelphias, said this morn- | ing that they would uot sell for that price. | Mr. Reach said that they would sell if they got | their price, but it was a question whether the the young and udicate that Mr. Christy represented would y it. Mr. BR hs sir price was con- rably more than 2130.00. They would not 00.000. Mr. Christy said that the syn- 4 t to buy the elub for the real tate, and that the offer was a speculation in base ball. If a sale is effected the new owners will retain all the old favorites and allow Mr. Wright to remain in his position as manager. It ix said that Sam Thompson, the Detroit's right-fielder, has accepted the Philadelphia's terms and will play with that club next season. The general talk this morning was in regard to the transfer of Hanlon from the Detroits to the Pittsburg club. it is rumored that Han- is dis ed with the deal and will refuse to agree to the arrangements, At 10 o'clock the delegates went into session and began the business of the day. They will listen to reports from committees, after which the revision of the constitution will come up for consideration. as Ex-Constable Dargin Declared Insane. Curcaao, Nov. 22.—James Dargin, the ex- member of the Irish constabulary, about whose case much has been said in the papers, was found insane this morning. Judge Gary said that he could tind nothing in the law which would compel the British government, or its representative here, to take charge of him, but that his friends who brought him over, knowing him to be insane and a pauper, might be compelled to return him to Ireland if they are able to do so. —— The Suevia All Right.

The other six men arrested with him circulated the coin, but Richardson, it is alleged, was the manufacturer.

Washington baseball people are overjoyed at the prospect of securing Jno. Ward for the Washington team next year, Directors of the club are satisfied that the negotiations between President Hewitt and President Day, which are in progress in | New York, will result in the transfer of the famous shortstop from New York to Washing- ton. The Boston people ean outbid the Wash- ington management, butit isclaimed that other interests are involved than those of money New York is unwilling to increase the strength of the Boston team at the expense of the Giants, and would prefer to sell Ward to a weak team in exchange for such a player as ODay with a money bonus, thereby strengthening theirown team with a com- panion for Keefe and Welch in the box, in- stead of simply improving a dangerous rival for the championship.as Boston threatens to be. ODay and $5,000, with Ward in Washing- ton, it is asserted, would be worth more to New York than 215,000 cash and Ward in Boston. Another important point in- volved is Ward’s personal wishes in the matter of his sale. President Day knows that he can- not send Ward where he does not want to go. and Ward has expressed a desire to come to Washington, im facs has stated that he would be more than —— to be a Senator. In Boston he would be only one of a number of brilliant players, who do not alwaya pull together. It is his arubition to ha i management of a team of young p ew of introducing some base ball theories of hisown. Once secured for Washington there would be no difficulty in paying him a salary equal to his demands, for there would be no longer any need for a manager, and the money saved in that direction could be ap- lied to ‘that of short-stop, which position Ward would fill as wellas that of manager. All base-ball enthusiasts are gratified at the enter- prise shown by President Hewitt and look upon it as a good omen for next year, ge The Missing Steamer Excelsior. SAID TO HAVE BEEN SEEN IN THE RAPPAHANNOCK RIVER, Some anxiety has been felt here by persons whose friends left this city on the steamer | Excelsior last Sunday afternoon, The steamer should have arrived here Tuesday morning and is now about fifty-six hours overdue. The superintendent of the Potomac steamboat cowpany has not_yet received any message from the crew. He, however, apprehends no danger, but things that the steamer has put into the Rappahannock river to avoid the rough water in the bay. LATER—THE EXCELSIOR SIGHTED. This afternoon Supt: Welch received a dis- patch from M. D. Scott, of the Weems line in Baltimore, notifying him that the steamer Westmoreland sighted the Excelsior about 3 o'clock yesterday morning, anchored in But- supposed that some of her machinery has be come disabled. No fears are entertained as to the safety of the passengers.

A Portion of the Pension Building to be Used for the Ball. THE SCENES AT HEADQUARTERS THIS MORNING— THE OFFICIAL TITLE OF THE COMMITTEE—OR- GANIZATIONS APPLYING FOR QUARTERS NEXT ‘MARCH, Chairman Britton was busy at his headquar- ters in the Atlantic building this morning. The chairs in the outer room, where Secretary Brackett sits, were all filled; but, one by one, Mr. Britton had the callers come in, and rapidly dispatched the business they brought | to his attention. One of the momentous ques- tions brought up this morning was whether the committee should be called the ‘inangural committee” or the “inauguration committee.” It was a question of etymology, and a diction- ary was consulted, The question came up because an engraver submitted a design for a letter-head which bore the words “Inaugural Committee.” The painter who traced the letters on the committee-room door named the committee the “inauguration com- mittee.” It was a question between painter and engraver, n Britton consulted Committeeman Clapp, who happened in op- portunely, and whose experience as public printer is sup; dto have made him a good speller, They decided im favor of the engraver, and the committee henceforth will be known as the inaugural committee, THE INAUGURAL BALL, As indicated in Tue Srar yesterday, the question as to the place where the inaugural ball will be held has been settled. Mr. Britton yesterday saw Secretary Vilas, and the Secre- tary assured. him of his wish to do all in his ower to help the committee. He gave him a etter io the commissioner of pensions request- ing the latter to co-operate with the committee and assign to its use such rooms in the Pension building as the committee might require. Mr. Britton went to the Pension building and was shown over the building. The committee will be given the use of the grand court and all the rooms on the same floor east of the middle entrance, The rooms of the commissioner and deputy commissioner on the second floor and fifteen or twenty rooms on the third floor will be granted to the committee, besides the corridors, It is ‘aid that rooms im the basement can be used for the supper rooms. In 1885 the inaugural jcommittee hed substantially the use of the whole building, but as it wi incomplete only a | portion of the apartments were got into a \serviceable shape. The supper room, cloak rooms, retiring rooms, wine room and’ recep- tion rooms were all located on the ground floor around the court. In the second floor gallery rows of seats were erected for those | Who did not care to promenade. THE BALL ROOM. The immense court in which it is proposed to hold the ball is 316 feet long and 116 feet wide. At the Cleveland inaugural ball there were 7,000 people present, and at times during the evening the crush was uncomfortable, It is thought that if the price of tickets is the same for the coming ball the crush will be even | greater. On this account some members of the committee have suggested fixing the price of tickets at $10 instead of $5, but the matter has not yet been considered by the committee. It is thought that there would be an attendance of four or five thousand at #10 ticket. The expenses this year in r; | paring the Pension building for the ball will be much less, it is thought, than they were four years ago, when the committee bad to take an unfinished building. The committee then had to pay for a temporary roof, for plumbing has since been provided by the government. THE EXPENSES FOUR YEARS AGO, Among the expenditures at the last inaugnra- tion were 00 for calcium lights, £3,138 for ball-room decorations, $553 for ordinary print- ing, $800 for a reviewing stand in front of the House, #1,800 for musie at the ball, 20 for designing and printing ball-room kets and invitations, $500 expended by com mittee on public order, 8544 for badges, €27 expended by committee on comfort at the ball- 0 by the floor committee. items cover the main expenditures beyond the cost of the roof and other work required at the White | Pension building. The subscriptions reached nearly $23,000. ‘ihe entire expense of the display and ball was about $46,000. ‘The sources of in- come aside from subscriptsons are the sele of ball tickets and of various privilegesat the ball, besides the privileges of erecting reviewing stands along the avenue, the ball-room expense years ago. more money may be expended on the outdoor display.

McElroy a member of the executive com- mittee and chairman of the printing commit- tee. The executive committee will mect Saturday night in the large hall on the first floor of the Atlantic building.

Ld COMING HERE NEXT xAncH. ‘The inauguration commitice received to-day a letter from Frank M. Eastman, of Harris- | burg, Pa., applying for a place in the line of the inauguration parade for the Harrison Invin- | cibles, of Harrisburg, Pa, The club will prob- ably bring 110 men, a band of forty pieces, and a citizens’ corps of between 100 and 200 men. The uniform of the club consists of army dress coat, white helmet, belt, and trousers. A letter was received to-day from Wm. R. Leeds, the prosident of the union republican club, of Philadelphia, that the club expects to attend the inauguration. Their headquarters will be the Riggs house, and they will have 200 men in line, with a full band of music. ‘This club was organized in 1862.

RIDDLE REPLIES To THE SOUTH WASRINGTON PROTEST. | Tue Star has heretofore referred to the let- ter of the South Washington Citizens’ Pro- tective association protesting against the opin- ion of Attormey Riddle with reference to the erection of a freight house by the Baltimore and Potomac railroad company in square 493. The opinion referred to was also printed in Tur Star at the time. To-day Mr. Riddle re- plies to the South Washington association in the following opinion to the Commissioners: “The Commissioners can only resort to the | courts where a finai ordinance of the city or law of the District legislature is vioiated, or where some injury is done to the property or rights of the District asa corporation. It has no power to institute « civil suit for the protec- tion of the rights of any of the residents of the District, The persons injured alone can do that. The Comuissioners could have nostand- ing in court for that purpose. nor have they any power to redress parties thus injure The only complaint that has me against the Baltimore and Potomac railroad company, is that it occupies square 493. That of itself furnishes no cause of action to the District, civil or criminal. It is said, however, that by this occupancy the compapy obstructs a public alley of said square. This isa violation of an ordinance, and for this the District may prosecute the lroad company. This will be done when a complaint on oath is made in the Police Court when spoken to on this subject. Save this, t District has no grounds ever bronght to rosecution or suit against the P gwrerony This is exactly the otice for imore am grounc of my represcuted by the last South Washington pro- test.” YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN HOME, annual report of the Young Women’s n Home has been submitted to the missioners.
