Baker extended an in- yitation from Center Street, Cumberland, Rev. | Jas. P. Wright, of Wesley Chapel, Washington, said he had an invitation for the conference to meet there. Mr. Baker said it was a common thing for the conference to meet in Washington and astill more common thing for it tomevt in Baltimore, and a rare occurrence to goto Cum berland. A vote was taken and it resulted in a tie vote, 79to 79. This caused considerable merriment. A second vote was taken; resulting 88 for Cumberland and 70 for Washington. The selection of Cumberland was then made unani- mous. The last meeting of the conference in Cumberland was at Center Street eleven years ago. COLLECTIONS FOR VARIOUS FUNDS. The conference treasurer, Rev. Page Mill- burn, submitted his report showing the follow- ing collections in the several districts for the Missionary society, Church extension society.

The total benevolent collections were $39,982. THE ORDER OF THE DAY was then taken up, the discussion as to the disposition of the conference educational collections referred to in Tue Star yesterday. Rey.C. Herbt.Richardson’s motion made yester- day that the matter be referred to a committee of three to recommend a suitable plan of dis- tribution was amended by Dr. Lanahan so as to divide the collection equally between the women's college and Dickinson college. ‘The motion and amendment were both lost, and the vote recurred upon an amendment of Rev. Job A. Price, of Waliegien that the name “women’s college” be stricken out and “Dick. inson college” substituted. This was likewise lost, and the original proposition, giving the educational collection to the Woman's college, was anopted. This does not include the chil- dren's day collecticn, which goes to the treas- urer of the educational fund at New York. Revs. C. H. Richardson, John H. Dashiell, and Chas. W. Baldwin, of Washington, advo- cated giving the collection to the Woman's col- lege. ‘few. H. A.

Rev. Jas. P. Wilson was at his own request excused from preaching the missionary sermon. SYMPATHY WITH IRELAND. A Set of Resolutions that Caused a Lively Debate in the Hiinois House. Srrverteco, Int., March 12.—A lively diseus- sion was precipitated in the house last evening. Representative Jones introduced a set of re o- lutions denouncing the tory policy toward Ire- land and declaring sympathy with Gladstone, Parnell and the Irish people and moved their adoption. : would like to inquire,” said Mr. Sparks, ‘whether we are here for the purpose of legis- lating for the state of Illinois or for England or the Irish people in Ireland?” “It strikes me,” said Mr, Martin, “that the effect of the wording of that resolution is sim- ly a declaration of war against England, Fruughter.| I think from listening to the read- ing that it says that the British parliament passed a law aided by bribery.” “Yes, that is what it says,” retorted Mr. By jones, “And it’s the truth,” shouted Mr. Carmody. “Well, that is Di) serious charge to make against our neighbors,” insisted Mr. Martin, “I move the resolution be referred to the commit- tee on forefgn relations.” “I don’t,” shouted Mr. O'Toole. lay the motion on the table.” NO DANGER OF WAR WITH ENGLAND. ‘Mr. Martin attempted to withdraw his mo- tion, but Mr. Miller objected. When, later he failed to insist upon his objection, Mr. Kret- zinger renewed the motion to refer. “I want to say that I hte that resola- tion in good faith,” said Mr. Jones. “There is nothing in them that ought not to meet the in- dorsement of the Honse. There is nothing in them that will bring the state of Mlinois into war with England, as some gentlemen seem to fear. {Langhter.} There is nothing in these resolutions that——” “If there is nothing in the resolutions," in- terrupted Mr. Kretzinger, “why should they occupy the attention of the House?” “I say there is nothing in them that anybody here ought to object to,” said Mr. Jones. “I am opposed to their reference to a committee.” Mr. Brown jeered at the republicans for speaking sweetly of the Irish on the stump, “Now it the election is past,” he said, “the le who are in power refuse to give the Fokecn any office, so I hope they will at least consent to let this house pass these resolu- tions.” [Applause]. Mr. Jones finally accepted the motion to refer, and by nnanimous consent they were so di of, ——— NEARLY A PANIC ON °CHANGE.

MEMBERS OF THE BAR WHO FAVOR MR, BAR- NARD’S APPOINTMENT, As far as known no additional candidates for the vacant judgeship of the Supreme Court of the District, the marshalship, the offices of register of wills and the recorder of deeds have been heard of among the members of the bar. The paper asking the appointment of Mr. Job Barnard to the vacant judgeship has been signed by alarge number of the republican members of the bar, There are some, how- ever, who do not approve of the manner he was put in nomination by a party caucus, and the larger proportion of democrats, although friendly to Mr. Barnard, have not signed, nor will they sign the application. Some of those who took part in the meeting are inclined to believe that it would have been better to have made the nomination in a general meeting ir- respective of party. While many democratic members of the bar, as stated, have not signed and will not sign the application, the larger portion of them fayor Mr. Barnard’s appoint- ment, Nominations Confirmed.

Tichenor, of Illinois, to be assist- ant secretary of the’ Treasury, vice Isaac H, Maynard, resigned, The nominations sent in to-day were referred to appropriate committees, and the Senate then adjourned.

On the other hand the hardest sort of work is being done to secure Bachiller’s appointment, and with Platt and Hiscock for this appoint- ment it is expected to be made, FOR PUBLIC PRINTER. The California congressional delegation, headed by Senator Stanford, who called at the White House to-day, introduced H. Z.

Hon. 8. W, Hawkins, who was the last republi- can candidate for governor of the state, is a candidate now for the United States district attorneyship of west Tennessee. There are three other prominent candidates for the same office, Messrs. Walker, Winstead and Poston. The latter held the office four years ago. Ex-Rep- resentative D, A.

AnMES’ PLACE IN THE PARADE AND WIS EJECTMENT—HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO BRING CHARGES AGAINST COL, GIBSON AND CAPT. BOURKE. the first brigade of the first divisionof the pa- rade; Capt. Jno. G. Bourke, third cavalry, an aide on the staff of Gen. Beaver, the grand marshal, and Capt. Geo. C. Armes, retired, who took a place in the parade as an aide, attired in the full uniform of a captain of cavalry, mounted on a bay horse, The story, as told Stan reporter this morning by an army officer, is about this: THE WAY AN ARMY OFFICER TELLS IT. Capt. Armes, who was once dismissed from the army by a court martial and restored and retired by an act of Congress in 1883, saw his name in one of the local some be- mo ae ta one of Gen Beers aides, ie al headquarte: was there told heh the pabheation was’ en error, and that he had not been appointed. He angrily told those around him t he should not serve under any circumstance. A consul- in case Capt. Armes made trouble on the. 4th. Shobtiy’ parade started from the capitol CAPT, ARMES, MOUNTED AND UNIFORMED, was seen riding near the carriages of the presi~ dential party, and before long he rode up to Col. Gibson and gave him an order, Upon be- ing asked under whose authority he was acting he replied that he gave the order on Gen. Hast- ing’s authority. Col. Gibson thereupon sent forward to Gen. Beaver to make inguiry, and the latter dispatched Capt. Bourke with orders to remove Capt. Armes from the ape Capt, Bourke wise! cided a scene by sending a mounted po! Officer to do the ejectment, which was promptly accomplishe: Capt. joined the le farther Armes, it appears, back, for he was on the side of the line when the parade passed the President at the review- ing stand. CAPT. ARMES AT THE WAR DEPARTMENT. He appeared at the War department yester- day, and, calling on Gen. Drum, stated that he intended to presént charges against both Col. Gibson and ites Bourke for conduct unbecom- ing officers and gentlemen in trying, on March 4, to create a disturbance durig the parade, ‘The general stated very briefly that he would receive the charges in writing, and that they should receive due consideration. CAPT, BOURKE’S CHARGES AGAINST CAPT. ARMES. He said to-day to Tae Star reporter thathe had not received the charges from Capt. Armes, but that charges had bben preferred against Capt. Armes by Capt. Bourke for ‘conduct un- ing an officer anda gentleman.” These he intended to examine lay before the Sec- retary as soon as possible. Army officers generally laugh at the occnr- rence, and say that if anything results it will be the consideration of Bourke’s charges against THE NEW ASSESSMENT. The Assessors Instructed to Report What Property “is Really Worth.” THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NEW IXSTRUO- TIONS AND THOSE GIVEN THREE YEARS AGO— WHAT THE COMMISSIONERS AND THE ASSESSOR SAY ABOUT IT, ‘The District Commissioners to-day approved the instructions prepared by Assessor Fish for the guidance of the board of local assessors, whose appointments were announced yesterday, and who will soon begin the triennial assess- ment of real property, Mr. Fish’s instructions differ from those heretofore given to assessors, THE INSTRUCTIONS. The instructions in full are as follows: ‘The assessment of real property in the Dis- trict of Columbia must be made at the “true value in money;” this must be construed to mean in your best judgment what the property is really worth when you assess it, The law authorizes the board of equaliza- tion to increase, but not diminish the total re- turns made by the assessors, If a house is under roof June 1 it must be as- sessed at its true value at that time, and en- tered as “unfinished.” ‘Assessors will be very particular to assess each house separately, stating whether it is brick, stone or frame, and, also to locate the house. Every house to be assessed by hun- dreds, and none less than $100, For instance: Say lot 10, square 100, has 68 feet: one brick, 2,000, on the east 20 ft.; one frame, $500, on the next, 15 feet; one brick $1,000, next 13 feet; vacant west 20 fect. Count the number o: houses on each side of the square, before and after assessing them, so as to be’ certain that you have all, neither more nor less. © All property must be assessed “from actual view.” See section 6, of act of March 3, 1883. Back ground should be assessed intelligently, viz: The north partof A and all of C are sul divided into three lots; the back ground of A should be assessed at same rate as ©, although it may have been ata a or‘lower rate than attached to A, owing to the assessed value on different streets. Parking, particularly at corners of avenues, should be noticed in locating houses, in order to get the building line accurately. THE OLD WAY. The instructions given by Assessor Dodge, previous to the last triennial assessment, con- tained the following paragraph in relation to the manner of determining values: “The as- sessment must be made at ‘the true value in money.’ This is generally construed to mean the best judgment as to what the property would bring ata forced sale, Or get at the value from A idsye sales in the same locality and take off from 20 to 30 per cent, according to locations.” THE Law. Section 6 of the act approved March 3, 1883, cited in the instructions prepared by Mr. Fish, reads as follows: ‘That each assessor shall, in all cases, from actual view and from the best sources of information in his reach determine as nearly asl practicable the true value of each separa’ t or lo TO} in trict in lawful Pie, ” and he Phall estimate the value of ‘all improvements, &c.” The law subse prey f icphees for the sitting of the assessor of the District and the assessors as a board of equalization, It is directed that “they shall immediately proceed to equalize the valuation made as aforesaid wd the assess- ors, so that each lot and tract and the improve- ments thereon shall be entered y je tax livt at their true value in money. This equal- ization rape be pr goer ese one m | med te value o' oe ad low the pea itonte value thereof, as - and returned by the assessors, WHAT THE COMMISSIONERS SAY. Commissioners Webb and Wheatley said to- day to a Star reporter that the assessor of the District was merely quoting the law. The law, they said, directed what the assessors had to do, and the Commissioners had no discretion in the Mr. Wheatley said that it was rally understood that the values fixed e old assessment did not represent over two-t of the real value of property. He in- stanced as a case the low as- i if FEZE B ii Lf i { E i ‘ j : F Press, is considered very critical, and grave doubts of his recovery are entertained.
