The Senate Will Move Slowly While the House Investigation is Pending. Senators who are on the committee on the District of Columbia are beginning to discuss among themselves their probable action on the nomination of Commissioner Webb. The matter will come up formally for the first time on Friday morning, and it will form the basis of a debate that would be interesting to Washingtonians if it were carried on publicly. Just at present none of the mem- bers of the committee care tosay anything defi- nite, but they nevertheless have come to some- thing that resembles a conclusion. “We do not know officially,” said a Senator this mye” “that there are any charges against Mr. Webb's administration of District affairs, but we cannot ignore a fact. We do know that the District committee of the House ot Represenatatives is engaged in an investigation which may develop somethi harmful to Mr. Webb; we don’t Tnow that i will, but it may. Therefore we have to move slowly. On the face of the thing I am in favor of confirming Mr. Webb, but neither I nor any other member of the committee would vote for a favorable report on his nomination while this House investigation is pending. I do not think it will take the House committee more than a few days to get down to the facts inthe case, and the delay on the question of confirmation will not be serious, The Senate committee is not engaged in the investigation, but it is aware that the House is, and it would be eminently improper for us to set the seal of our approval on tir. Webb's official actions when some of those ac- tions may be the subject of criticism by the House of Representatives.” THE CRUISE OF THE BOST' What She Accomplished on Her Recent Trip tothe West Indies. From the New York Tribune, The recent cruise of the Boston was fraught with diplomatic incidents fully as important as her investigation of the seizure of the Hay- tien Republic, but concerning which the pub- lic have been so far ignorant, The Boston was first ordered to Livingston, Guatemala, to investigate the imprisonment of the American consul at that place, and to demand an apology for the outrage. It seems that the “jefe po- litico,” or civil governor of the province in which Livingston is situated, came to that city and drank freely. The American consul there owns a boat, and the “jefe politico” took a notion that he would like that boat, and there- upon demanded it. The American consul ex- plained that he had use for the boat and must refuse to give it up. Thereupon the “jefe” threw the consul into a filthy calaboose. There are about fifteen Americans in Livingston, and when they heard of the outrage they started out to tear down the calaboose and lynch the “jefe politico.” But some of the more con- servative prevailed upon the rest to try to rea- son with the governor before committing any overt act. This was done, and owing to the strong respect for the Smith & Wesson revolver entertained in Guatemala, the force of the Americans’ argument was seen and the consul liberated after three hours’ imprisonment. But the insult to the flag was not atoned for, and the Boston was sent down to see about it. When the cruiser arrived the governor made a most empte apology. ‘Things being satisfactorily settled at Liv- ingstone, the Boston was ordered to go at once to Corn island, which lies off the coast of Nicaragua and is owned by that nation. It is the key of the proposed Nicaragua canal from a military point of view. Information was re- ceived at the State department that the United States of Colombia had set up some anti- quated claim to the island and had entered into ecret compact with France to take posses- mm of it and cede the French government coaling station there. This would enable France to command the eastern en- trance to the Nicaragua canal, a thing which manifestly could not be allowed by the United States. When the Boston reached Corn island, it was found that the Nicaraguan government had also heard of the intended seizure of the island and had sent a garrison there with in- structions to the commanding officer forcibly to resist any attempt to occupy the place by a foreign power. The Boston staid there for some time and then went to Jamaica to communicate with Washington. Thence she was ordered to Hayti. The rest of her eventful cruise is well known. The garrison which the Nicaraguan | government sent to Corn island has been with- drawn, but whether the French still cherish a scheme of establishing a coaling station there and controlling the Nicaragua canal is known to those who are possessed of “that little wisdom which rules the world.” pacateiale Vie The Cane of the Future. From the New York Sun. Experts in such matters announce that the cane of the past is doomed. Hereafter sticks that are odd, unique and valuable will be sought for by men who study the details of their personal belongings. The big cane has been relegated to the smaller towns, and the whipper-snapper malacca stick, with its small silver handle, is no longer im order. Canes have match-boxes, card-cases, pipes, swords, and almost everything else concealed about them now-a-days, and #50 is by no means an unusual sum to pay for a walking-stick. That most amiable and popular of public men, Charles Delmonico, carries a cane in which a small watch is set. The watch is wound by twisting the handle, and the face of the time- piece is visible through a hole in the side of the cane. ———_9e——__—__ Prohibition Losing Ground. Boston Special to the N. ¥. World. Some interesting figures showing the ten- dency of Massachusetts on the question of li- censing the sale of intoxicating liquor were submitted to the legislature to-day by the sec- retary of the state. In 1886 out of 349 citi: and towns 74, or 21 per cent, voted to grant li- censes, The popular majority against license showed 50.9 per cent of the people of the state to be in favor of the policy of prohibition. In 1887, with the same number of cities and towns, 63 voted yea. The majority against license had become 51.58 per cent of the total. The total vote was 16.6 per cent greater than in 1886. In 1887, when the number of cities and towns was 351, 85, or 22 per cent voted yes, The total vote increased 2.5 per cent in this year, and 53.45 per cent was in favor of license. ‘This is quite a set back for the prohibitionists. Suicide} at Breakfast. A WEALTHY MAN KILLS HIMSELF IN HIS FAMILY’S PRESENCE. Frank L. Rubsamen committed suicide at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning, at his residence, 418 Garden street, Hoboken, by shooting him- self through the left temple. Mr. Rubsamen was sixty-five years of age and had for a long time suffered from melancholia. The details of the suicide are shocking. Mr. Rubsamen, who is a retired banker, was to have sailed for Bermuda on Thursday. He came down to breakfast at the usual hour Tuesday morning. His wife and four sons were already at the table. He acted so ceria Se that his sons’ at- tention was attracted. Suddenly he jumped up from the table and went to the drawer of a cabinet, which he drew open. In the drawer was a loaded pistol, He pulled it out and be- fore anyone could interfere, put the muzzle to his head and J arta the trigger. As the report rang out he fell to the floor, blood gushing from a wound in his temple. He died almost instantly. A doctor was summoned and the coroner notified. To the latter the family said that they thought that sickness had caused him to commit the rash act. He had been suffer- ing a great deal and had become melancholy. Mr. Rubsamen was worth about $200,000, He was one of Hoboken’s most respected citizens, He was president of the Hoboken German club and the German academy. —————+e+_____ Aw Exoisn Forcer rx Cusropy.—Capt.

The New York folks and the Blaine men want Platt, but those who have pressed Platt upon General Harrison have come away with the impression that the President-elect felt a obligations to and very friendly toward er.

HOW TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS MIGHT HAVE BEEN ‘MADE, BUT WAS NOT—A TRANSACTION BY WHICH ‘THE COMMISSIONERS CLAIM TO HAVE LOST MONET BY DEPARTING FROM THEIR OLD PRACTICES, The District Commissioners, as announced, have completed the purchase of the property to be added to the school site already owned by the District in Montgomery street, George- town. It does not appear that there was any middleman or agent in this case who made a large profit. The sale has been consummated since the publications in Tue Star relating to the methods followed in purchasing school sites, There were two adjoining pieces of ground purchased, one from Chas. H. Cragin as trustee, for which $1,500 was paid, and the other from Charles R. Fields for $2,600. This transaction is quoted at the Dis- trict government office as showing how the District has been a loser by the change made in the methods of purchase made, when Tux Stak called attention to some of the pe- real estate “deals.” It is asserted that Mr. Cragin advanced $500 on his piece and Mr. Fields $600, which the Commissioners were Degg to 7% order to secure the ye ere an interesting sto: Tommactedl with i ne which will probably be brought out in the con; ‘ional inquiry. This story re- lates _to . Fields’ property. It is true Mr. Fields’ lot was offered to the Commis- a = first vad $2,000. — Pe secured a sixty-day option on it by depositing 25. This option ex ired, ower Wat the matter was bi ed again Mr. Field’s agent asked $2,600. The agent told a Stan reporter to-day that Mr, Fields had received an offer of 32,600 and could not sell it to the District for less, While these transactions were nding, as a Stan reporter was informed, ir. Cox proposed at he should have half the commission to be received by Fields’ agent. ‘This, the agent, Mr. J.J. Bogue refused to give. Subsequently, it is asserted, Mr. Cox sent him a deed to have his client si, in which the consider- ation named was $4,600, or $2,000 more than was asked, saying that Mr. Bogue could, if he did this, keep his commission and more too. Persons who know of the transaction say that the District, if the affair had gone on with- out interference would have paid 2,000 more than the owner of this part of the ground pur- chased asked or was to get. THE EXPOSURES in Tue Star, however, brought the trans- action to an end, When o Srap re- porter asked Mr, Bogue about the transaction to-day Mr. Bogue declined to give the facts, on the groundthat he was a friend of Mr. Cox, and did not care to help — him down.” There was, he said, a big schemein it, and considerable money coul have been made by some one if the thing had not been stopped.

A letter has been received by the House in response to the resolution from the military committee asking for a list of exhibits suitable fora national military and naval museum at Washington, A large number of ordnance ar- ticles and flags with distinguished his tories are named in the list returned. Many of them have seen service in the Mexi can war as well as in the war of the rebellion, and some are of revolutionary fame. The reg- imental colors carried in 1795 by the fourth United States infantry, and then in 1811 at the battle of Tippecanoe, among them. There is also the British flag surrended by Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. Many American flags carried during the rebel- lion are named, but none of the confederate flags are offered as suitable exhibits, AssavLt wits Inrext to Kr1.—In the Criminal Court, Judge Montgomery, this morn- ing, James Dixon, alias Gray, was tried on the charge of an assault and battery with intent to kill John A. Ruppert, December 21, by shoot- | ing at him. Dixon was refused a drink on the ground that he had not paid for one taken the previous night, and was put out, and it was alleged that at the door he drew a one-shooter revolver (a single-barreled revolver) and fired, the ball passing over Mr. Ruppert’s head, A verdict of guilty was found. Soluce ool Mr. Phelps Takes Leave of Salisbury. New York Tribune London Cable. The American minister Monday afternoon had his last official interview with Lord Salis- bury at the foreign office. I imagine, there- fore, the British foreign minister now under- stands that the departure of Mr. Phelps from England at this moment is not due to the fact that a republican President will be inaugurated next March. Many Englishmen = Mr. Harrison_is already installed in the White House. Lord Salisbury is better informed. He knows that Mr. Phelps would, naturally, have remained here another two months. The foreign office people know it too, and they know that Mr. Phelps goes home because the British legation at Washington is vacant. This useful knowledge will gradually filter down into the eas English mind. ‘It will be un- derstood here by the time Mr. Phelps steps on board the steamer at Southampton that the diplomatic affront offered the American gov- ernment by Lord Salisbury has been resented in the correct diplomatic way. Mr. Phelps’ conduct throughont this difficult business has been,so faras an outsider has means of judging, energetic in more directions than one. He has shown firmness and courage. He appreciated the delicacy of the situation from the peeeney of the Sackville incident, and he has never, I think, varied in his view of what ought to be done. Americans have to thank him for his unflinching insistance upon an American view. Americans in London sin- cerely regret his growing,and none moreso than those who have urged it as the only means by which the American government could ex- press its opinion of Lord Salisbury’s conduct. ————ee—___ Mahone’s Heavy Load. THE SOUTHERN NEGROES LIKELY TO SIT DOWN UPON HIM, An Atlanta, Ga., special to the New York Herald says: Negroes all through the south are very bitter toward Gen. Mahone since his re- ported utterances at Charleston, Jackson McHenry, a colored leader who was a delegate- at-large to the Chicago convention, speaks for the negroes of the south and is bitter toward Mahone. He said: “I think General Mahone has made a serious mistake, but I am glad he has unmasked him- self to the full view of the colored republicans. There is a petition going the rounds among delegates to the late republican national con- vention, asking their indorsement of Mahone for a cabinet position. I signed that, but am sorry for it, and I am going to write to General Harrison, withdrawing my indorsement. Ma- that the ne; is a heavy load for republicans to carry. Heavy load, indeed! Where would that same Mahone be if it wasn't for the negro vote. Why, the party colored men in the Virginia ture found Mahone the heaviest load any party men ever wer to Now it shows that he’s one of those liticions that think the negro is only fit to ‘vote to keep such as him in office. “Such men will mighty soon learn that the aren't tied toany one .

Matters Talked About at Inaugural Headquarters To-day. TARY COMPANY COMING ALL THE WAT From CALIFORNIA. Mr. P. 8. Gilmore, the well-known New York band leader, was at headquarters to-day. He met Chairman Britton and other members of the committee and had a consultation with Major A. H. 8. Davis, chairman of the music committee. Mr. Gilmore made a proposition in reference to the concerts which it is proposed to give in the Pension building on the day following the inaugural ball. Mr. Gilmore proposes to give three concerts, morn- ing, afternoon, and night, and to bring on his whole band of sixty-five pieces. It is probable his band will be in the inaugural procession with some New York organization. THE FIREWORKS. Chairman Britton and Dr. Adams, chairman of the fireworks committee, had a conference this afternoon with a representative of Det- weiller & Street, whose propositions have found favor with the fireworks committee, Mr. Britton, in over the program, which the py toohniets were to fara for $5,000, wtp gested striking out some of the costly and elaborate set pieces. He thinks the multitude of people will be unable to see these, and the discharges of rockets and other aerial displays will be most pleasing to them. THE OHIO TROOPS. It was announced some time ago that about 2,500 of the Ohio National guard would come. This number, however, has been considerably reduced. Chairman Britton to-day received from Gen. Axlin poo ey of thestate, a letter saying: graphed Gen. Hastings on the 19th as follows: ‘Not being able to get satisfactory railroad rates, the Ohio troops at the imauguration will probably not number more than four or five hundred.’ This ex- presses the situation at present, and we desire quarters reserved accordingly in the War, State, and Navy building.” THE APPROACHES TO THE BALL-ROOM. The committee on carriages met at head- quarters to-day and opened bids for construct- ing approaches to the ball-room. Bids were received from Henderson & Son, McGregor, Carver and Lipscomb. Mr. Lipscomb was the lowest bidder. The award will be not be made until the matter has been considered by the executive committee. There are three en- trances to which approaches will be con- structed—the G street, the 5th street and the south en! ce in Judiciary square. Spacious covered ways will be erected from the carriage drive to the door, THE HARRISON VETERANS. At a meeting yesterday at the Atlantic building of the Harrison Veterans of 1840. Mr. A. M. Clapp presiding, it was decided to aban- don the idea of taking part in the parade, as the inaugural committee will not permit them toride. Mr. Clapp, Gen. Schenck and ex-Sen- ator Pomeroy were appointed a committee to secure seats for them upon the platform on the east front of the Capitol during the inaugural ceremonies, COMING FROM CALIFORNIA. The morning's mail brought a letter from Oakland, Cal. The writer was Capt. J. B. Lauck, of company A, fifth infantry regiment, California National guard. He applied for a place in line. “It is expected,” he said, “that we willleave here for Washington, D. C., to attend the inaugural ceremonies, not later than a 24th, to arrive in Washington about e 2d.” THE INAUGURAL SUPPER. The design for the supper-card has been sub | mitted to Chairman Britton together with the bill of fare for the supper as prepared by the caterer, —— C. Boldt, of Philadelphia. Mr. Boldt is as well known and highly esteemed in | Philadelphia as Delménico in New York. He has three restaurayts—the Bellevue, the Strat- ford, and one in the Bullitt building. At the Bellevue the dinners of the famous Clover club are given, and the countless epicures who have partaken of its hospitality unite in sing- ing the praises of Mr. Boldt. The charge for the supper will be €1. The bill of fare is as follows: “Bill of fare: Blue Points on Ice. Hot—Bouillon in Cups. Steamed Oysters. Oysters a la Poulette.

Some days ago Mr. Edward Temple and others requested that the road leading from Good Hope hill southeast to the District line be put in good condition. The matter was re- ferred to Capt. Symons, who reports that the estimated cost of the improvement is about $8,000, and as it can only done -é special appropriation, he recommends that it be put on file for consideration when next year's es- timates are being prepared. THEY WILL RELAY THE PAVEMENT. Tae Star has heretofore referred to a letter of Capt. Symons to the Commissioners charg- ing the superintendent of the Barber "Anphalt Paving company with defying the orders of the District inspectors in patting in pavement dur- ing the rain, and recommended that 178 yards of pavement be deducted from the fullamount, not to be paid until the surface be relaid next spring. e Barber company have signified their willingness to relay that portion of the vement,and the final measurements have n ordered to be made.
