Lonpox, Feb. 8.—The cross-examination of the informer Beach, alias Le Caron, was con- tinued by Sir Charles Russell before the Par- nell commission to-day, The court-room was overcrowded. Mr. Parnell was not present. Le Caron, in reply to questions, said that dur- ing the last fortnight he had got documents relating to the case from Mr. Anderson, an of- ficial of the home office, who at his private residence allowed witness to see the whole of the latter's past correspondence with the home- office authorities. The witness then went to Cork street with an unsigned letter of intro- duction which Anderson had given him to Mr. Houston, the secretary of the Loyal Patriotic union. In November, 1888, witness read the reports of the proceedings before the commis- sion, and they gave him the impression that the British prosecution was lamely presented. HARD ON THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. “That's very hard upon the attorney-gen- eral,” said Sir Charles Russell, the remark causing much laughter. Le Caron said that during the first three years of hisservice as a spy he received no = a payment from the government, and that at a present he was receiving only a part of his pay.

OTHER CABINET GOSSIP TO-DAY—-BLAINE AND WANAMAKER ACCEPT—THE TENDER TO WIN- DOM—HOW THAT MATTER STANDS—QROTESTS FROM MINNESOTA AND NEW YORK. Mr. Miller, of New York, has been offered a place in the cabinet. He has not accepted un- Jess his acceptance has been sent to Indianapo- lis within 48 hours, but not much doubt is en- tertained as to what he will do. The place tendered him is not the one he desires; it is either the secretaryship of agriculture or that of the navy. His friends think it is the latter. The fact that the position was not one most to his liking caused him to consider the matter before sending his reply. WHAT HAS BEEN SETTLED. It is known that four tenders of cabinet posi- tions have been made. Mr. Blaine and Mr. Wanamaker have accepted. Mr. Allison has declined. Whether Miller has yet forwarded his formal acceptance is uncertain. As to Mr. Windom for Secretary of Treasury, the matter stands thus: When Mr. Allison declined Gen. Harrison was deeply Cry saagtioet and all his plans were confused, but he adhered to the de- termination to select a Secretary of the Treas- ury from the west. In fact it was impractica- ble for him to go to any other section for a man. He did not want either Miller or Platt for Secretary of the Treasury, and, in view of the controversy, it was not practicable to select bond other from New York. It was not hes Rr itic to go east and yet to pass over New ‘ork. This situation confirmed GENERAL HARRISON'S DESIRE to still hold to a western man. He chose Mr. Windom, and while it is doubiful whether he actually made the tender of the position, it is well understood that he had determined to do so. He was selected as a Minnesota man, but the fact is that he has lived in New York for several years, end it isa question which state he has a right to claim as his home. He was appointed to Garfield's cabinet from Minnesota and his political connections are all there, but his business associations are all in New York. At once upon its becoming known that General Harrison contemplated making him Secretary of the Treasury, A VIGOROUS PROTEST CAME FROM MINNESOTA that he should not be charged against that state. About the same time a similar protest came from New York. They did not want him chagged against that state. is has suspended the matter for the time, and it is yet to be finally settled either way. Gen. Harrison is understood to be considerably oa as to what he should do about it, ut WINDOM IS STILL PRACTICALLY ON THE SLATE, and it is not unlikely that he will stay there. If, however, Gén. Harrison should find his in- clinations in this matter thwarted, McKinley, Foster and New are held in hand as_possibili- ties, with New the least likely. Those who have been cognizant of the Windom matter still feel certain that he will be chosen, THEY RELATED TO WINDOM. Some few days ago Tue Srar stated that a member of the House had gone to Indianapo- lis to see Harrison, and had taken messages of advice and expressions of opinion from several senators and representatives as to tho selection of the Secretary of the Treasury. It was thought at the time that these messages related to John C. New and were in his interest. The fact now appears that they related to Windom. Expressions favorable to Windom were got from about fifteen senatorsand twenty or more representatives, and the matter was then laid before Gen. Harrison. It was then learned that Windom was already slated for the posi- tion. It is understood that Senator Sabin joined in the protest against Windom’s being charged to Minnesota, though itis not certain that he did so, PROBABILITIES AND POSSIBILITIES. Everything else asto the cabinet is in the air. There is a growing impression that Alger cannot get the War department, but that Rush will get that place. Another thing considered robable is that J. B, Henderson will be At- orney-General, Platt’s friends expect him to be collector of the port of New York, which they say he would prefer to anything else if he cannot have the asury. DIED OF HIS WOUNDS. TheStabbing Affray Between Edw. Hal- day and Geo: Byron Results Fatally. Geo. Byron, the young man who was stabbed atthe corner of 12th and F streets southwest, Tuesday night, as published in Wennesday’s Srar, died at Providence hospital this morning from the effects of his injuries, Edward Halliday, the young man who did the cufting, has not been arrested. The young men were friends, and had been drinking to- gether during the evening. When the trouble occurred they were both intoxicated. The fight started near the Gospel tent, and was witnessed by a number of persons, During the fight Byron drew a knife and cut Halliday several times, severely injuring him, While Byron had him down on the ground, Halliday succeeded in getting the knife from him and using it. When Byron was removed to the Providence hospital he was treated for a cut in the shoulder, and it was not until yester- day that the physicians found that he had been stabbed. in the stomach, The wound of the stomach was what caused his death. Halliday, it is said, was also danger- ously wounded, although his whereabouts aro not known tothe police. The dead man’s body was removed to the morgue where the inquest will be held to-morrow. <i WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

WEBB BY | ORDERS TO BE SENT ALONG THE LINE BY TELE- THE SENATE COMMITTEE—MATTERS ACTED ON ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAPITOL, The Senate committee on the District of Columbia held its regular weekly meeting to- day, Senators Ingalls, Farwell, Harris, Daniel and Faulkner being present, The routine business of the committee was at once taken up, and the Police-Court bill was first considered. It was decided to non-concur in the House amendments and. to ask for a committee of conference. The House bill pro- viding for a COMPILATION OF THE LAWS OF THE DISTRICT was then taken up and after some discussion was amended and ordered to be reported by Mr. Faulkner. The amended bill authorizes the Supreme Court of the District to appoint two persons Cees of three) learned in the law as commissioners to compile, arrange, and clas- sify, with a proper irflex, all statutes and parts of statutes in force in the District. The com- —o ‘of commissioners remains fixed at 1,500 each, and the expenses of the com- mission are to be defrayed froma fund of $1,000 especially appropriated. When the compilation is complete, upon the order of the Supreme Court of ‘the Di ere be printed 5,000 copies at the government printing office, said copies to be sold at 10 per cent above cost. A favor- able report was also ordered on the bill to amend section 555 of the Revised Statutes of the District. The bill affects the incorporation laws, increasing the limit of the number of di- rectors from nine to fifteen. Senators Chace and Daniel were appointed a subcommittee to give hearing to interested parties on the pawnbrokers’ bill. NO ACTION ON THE WEBB NOMINATION. As has been prophecied in Tux Sra, the committee took no action whatever in the case of William B, Webb, nominated to be a Com- missioner of the District. Mr. Webb, not being a democrat, prevents the democratic members of the committee from urging his confirmation, and the republicans oppose the confirmation idea because they do not regard Mr. Webb as being a representative District republican. Were it not for this latter disability it is more than proba- ble that an apa would have been made in this case and the nominee would have been lifted off the hook and confirmed. The republi- can Senators are satisfied, and more than one of them has so expressed himself, that Mr Webb lacks the political backbone which should be such a Shek portion of republican anatomy, ‘here is also strong objection to the manner in which affairs have een administered at the District building, with the knowledge and consent of Mr. Webb, As these have not, to any considerable extent, been placed officially before the committee they are regarded, at the Senate end of the capitol, as secondary mat- ters, If they were investigated by the Senate they would probably assume more portentous shapes and more gigantic dimensions, but as the Senate has barely touched upon this side of the question the only real reason advanced by republican Senators in opposition to Mr. Webb's confirmation is the one which states flatly his political weakness. He has been pvominated as a republican and the majority of the committee feels as though there were a good many men in the District of Columbia who are not marked with any political stripe, but who would be more satisfactory republicans than Mr. Webb has shown himself to be. It can be accepted as settled republican sen- atorial policy that no nominations where the appointment is for a fixed term, will be re- ported before March 4. THE HOUSE DISTRICT COMMITTEE decided to-day to report favorably the Senate bill regulating the drawing of jurors and their time of service for the Supreme Court of the District. A signilar bill has passed the House. An adverse report was authorized upon the bill to incorporate the Suburban street railway company. ‘The bill to incorporate the Washington and Sandy Springs (steam) railroad was amended 80 as not to permit the road to come within the boundary and then was given a fayor- able report. The road is to start at Boundary and New York avenue, and run to Sandy Springs, All features permitting tracks to be laid within the city limits were stricken out. The former favorable action on the bill to refund certain special assessment lien cer- tificates was reconsidered and amended 80 as to provide money for the Commissioners to hear all the cases and report to Congress, with estimates. As so amended a favorable report was ordered. CAPITOL TOPIC: ARBITRATION PROPOSED. . Representative O'Neill, of Pent vania, to- day presented to the House a petition from the executive committee of the Universal peace union, which reads as follow rom infor- mation received of the difficulties existing be- tween the republic of Venezula and the gov- ernment of Great Britain, the Universal peace union, representing some 10,000 adherents, re- spectfully and earnestly memorialize you. to use your friendly offices through our minister at the court of Great Britain, or in any other way you may deem best, to prevail upon the government of Great Britain to submit the case to wise and impartial arbitration, inas- much as the republic of Venezuela has con- sented to submit to such a course and abide by such decision. We feel assured that your ac- tion in so pacific a direction will save life, property and international comity and pre- vent the horrors of war.” THE LEGISLATIVE, ETC., APPROPRIATION BILL PASSED. The Senate this afternoon resumed consider- ation of the legislative appropriation bill. ‘The amendment to increase the clerical force of the civil-service commission was re- jected (without a division) and the bill was passed.

Stafford, of Perth Ambey, and others testified on behalf of the petitioners, The substance of the testimony given is that the expense of handling bituminous oal in and out of cars and vessels is materially greater than the expense of hand- ling anthracite coal. Among the reasons given for this additional cost is that the latter moves much more freely over the gravity chutes, which are in universal use, than” the former. One witness said that in his experience, covering about fifteen years, the cost of handling bituminous was some cases nearly or quite double thatof hand- ling the hard coal. Several of the witnesses agreed that bituminous coal operators had a material advantage in the market over the anthracite dealers in that among other ad- ventages they could offer the bituminous on season contracts to manufacturers, for steam urposes, and that there had been a great dis- placement (from 60 per cent to 90 per cent) of anthracite coal in consequence, A This was particularly the case in New Eng- land of which they had a personal knowledge, The low rates on soft coal and the high rates instrumental RanGror THE TuERMomeTER,—The followihg were the readings at the signal office to-day: 8 oo tuo 2 p.m., 41; maximum, 41; mini- mum, ———e Steer MaTeRIAts ror U. 8. Wan Vessers.— ORAPH—THE FIREWORKS DISPLAY—COL, WILSON LIFTS THE EMBARGO ON THE OBSERVATION STANDS, . Gen. Hastings, adjutant-general of the Penn sylvania national guard and chief of staff to Gov. Beaver, the grand marshal of the inaug- ural parade, was closeted this afternoon with Chairman Britton. Capt. Harrington, of the marine corps, and Major Moore, chief of police, were summoned to the council. Gen. Hastings had spread before him a large map on which was traced the route of the procession and the streets and avenues about the capitol where the main body of the procession will be formed. Capt. Harrington will have charge of the location of the telegraph stations, which it is proposed to establish at different points so that the marshal can be in communication at all times with every part of the vast procession. Every means will be adopted to insure promptness and prevent confusion. Fifty thousand men, it is estimated, can be easily formed in the streets leading into the capitol grounds, THE GRAND STAND. d It was stated in Te Star day before yester- day that Col. Wilson, commissioner of public buildings and grounds, had stopped work on the grand stand that the contracters were about to erect on the Lafayette park reserva- tion, opposite the White House. The execu- tive committee on inaugural affairs agreed, at Col, Wilson's request, to order that the work on the stands along the avenue should not be begun until the 18th instant, two weeks from the 4th of March. They have now changed their minds and Col. Wilson has withdrawn his objection to the immediate erection of the stands, upon the representations of the com- mittee that the weather between the 18th and the 4th might be so bad as to seriously delay the work. Hammers are sounding to-day and the stand opposite the White House is begin- ning to assume shape. THE CLERK'S STANDS. The committee of clerks in charge of the Provision of seats for the employes of the State, War. and Navy departments from which to view the inaugural parade, have requested permission of the District Commissioners to use 53¢ feet of the sidewalk in front of the building on Pennsylvania avenue upon which to construct their stand. This, with the 2 feet of coping, will give a width of 73¢ feet, allow- ing three rows of seats. The stands will ru: along the entire north front, with a narrow space in the center for a passage-way to the building. It is expected that from eight hun- dred to one thousand seats willbe needed, The cost of each will be something less than 50 cents, THE FIREWORKS. Secretary Turner, of the Detweiler & Street company, who have the contract for the fire- works display, was in the city to-day in consul- tation with members of the fireworks commit- tee and others. There is some question whether to have the proposed illumination of Pennsylvania avenue before or after the fire- works display. It is desired to so arrange the fireworks display that it may be seen by the President and others before going to the ball. The display of the flambeau clubs will be given at conclusion of the fireworks show. Mr. ‘Turner went this afternoon to call on Col. Wil- son and to go over the ground near the monu- ment where it is proposed to have the display. WHERE THE DIVISIONS WILL FORM. The first division, which will be composed of the regular troops and the District militia, will form the escort of the President and the Pres- ident-elect from the White House to the capi- tol. After performing that duty they will be stationed on B street southeast, with the right resting in front of the House wing. The other divisions will be massed about the capitol as follows: Second division, com d of the Pennsyl- vania troops, on Maryland avenue, with the right resting on Ist street northeast. Third division, com: d of the Grand Army posts, on East Capitol street, with the right resting on ist street. Fourth division, composed of the unattached military organizations, on B street southeast, with the right resting on Ist street. Fifth division, composed of civic organiza- tions, on Ist street southeast, with right resting on B street. In case there are a sufficient number of civic organizations a sixth division will be formed. That division will be located on New Jersey avenue southeast, with the right resting on street, ‘NOTES. In corferenee with Chairman Britton, M. M. Parker, the marshal of the civic organizations, Col, Moore and Gen, Hastings went over the entire route of the parade upon the map re- ferred to and the location of the various divis- ions was noted. Lithographed copies of this map will be distributed for the information of the various organizations taking part.

From the Youth's Companion. Perhaps some of our readers are not aware that, with a single exception, a much longer time has now elapsed since a new state was ad- mitted to the Union than has before passed in the century since the Constitution was adopted. Inasmuch as twenty-five new states have beem added to the original thirteen, the average has been one in four years, Or rather, since Colo- orado was admitted, twelve years ago, theaver- age to that time was three years: one half, The longest time that elapsed between the admission of two states was the interval be- tween the entrance of Missouri into the Uj in nen pe ene of Arkansas, in 1836. Should any of the plans now proposed for bringing in new states be adopted: within a year the avers rate may yet be maintained; and although it is, in @ certain sense, a party question how the several territories shall be created states, and how many and when, yet the chances are de- cidedly in favor of the creation of at least four, and perhaps five, before we write 1890, The material out of which states can be made is almost exhausted. When the Dakotas, Mon- tana, Tacoma, and New Mexico are in, there will remain only Idabo, Wyoming, Utah, and Arizona—for Alaska is poor material for state. What then? Let us wait and see, Will there ever be fiity states in the Union? Do our young readers think they will live to see the boundaries of their country extended—north- ward or southward? Are they aware that the acquisition of C the “Pearl of the An- tiles,” was once in the platform of a great 'y?
