THE CHICAGO VIEW. Curcaco, March 15.—There is a difference of opinion among local dealers in finding twine, most of them contending that no trust or corner has been organized. A member of one large firm, who recently re- turned from an i ion of the eastern market says that the present situation has wn out of the law of supply and id. His view is that for two years buyers have been conservative, and conse- =. stocks have not been kept up. Sud- nly it is discovered that the supply is inade- quate, and consequently prices increase.

The delay gives rise to the rumor that there is a hitch some- where, but the chances are that the only “hitch” is that General Harrison wants to go slow enough to be sure of doing the right thing.

South Washington Citizens Answer Maj. Raymond on the Railroad Question. Messrs. C. H. Parker and Philip N. Dwyer, representing the South Washington Citizens’ association, replied to-day to the endorsement ; of Maj. Raymond on their letter respecting the tracks on H street southeast, which was pub- lished in Tae Star In their communication handed to the Commissioners to-day they say: “The published endorsement by the engi- neer Commissioner on a paper relative to rail- road obstructions, submitted by the under- signed, calls for a reply, which will be to the point. We are neither sworn nor paid officials of the District and do not consider ourselves the proper persons to assist the Commissioners in doing their duty. Is there nota number of sworn Officials (see obstructious to police and —_ regulations) whose business it is to see it the United States statutes are not violated, and thatthe streets are not obstructed? We think it would be a very simple thing for the Commissioners to pause a few minutes and recall a few instances where the railroad is obstructing certain streets in direct violation of the law, and in fact under the written permission of the Commissioners. ‘See opinion of the attorney for the District in e matter of switch into gas company’s works, Southeast Washington.) Would it not be a very simple matter for Major Raymond to ex- amine the record, send one of his assistants or g0 personally, visit the localities and make the Recessary affidavit? It seems to us it isin the line of his duty to see that the public streets are not obstructed. = erating ve revent giving Tso} at why gr oe ‘ue’ gation | daparhaeuh’ $6 investigate and procure warrants, as is done in the case of a poor peanut vender who, in search of a few pennies, stops his cart and isrun in for obstructing the streets.

THE “AUTHOR OF DON’T” TAKEN TO TASK ON POINTS OF ETIQUETTE. To the Editor bf the Evgenia Stan: Of course Taz Stak is not responsible for the opinions of correspondents, but when the | in “Author of Don’t,” as an authority, gives such advice as was set forth in ‘Etiquette and Man- ners” in last Saturday’s Stan, a reader may at least criticise the ‘Author of Don't” as an thority. Customs may be slightly different in different cities, and we have some peculiar to Washington, but I think all I shall notice will apply as well to one place as another. In the ‘st letter quoted the answer ‘‘yes” is given to the question ‘‘is it customary for ladies to take off their bonnets at a f luncheon?” I say decidedly no; in fact a formal luncheon is often spoken of asa “bonnet” luncheon, implying the most universal wearing of bonnets at such en- tertainments, Again, in reply to letter third, “‘yea” is an- swered to the question whether guests should leave cards at an evening reception. Again I sayno, It is not customary, in this city at least, for guests to carry card cases, or leave cards, where they would appear in full dress, In letter twelve, I take two exceptions to the answers given. An Home” is defined as eaning in a hostess ‘‘merely being at home at the time designated, and does not imply a: entertainment of any kind.” The generally ac. cepted definition of an ‘At Home” in Washing- ton would be an evening reception, with guests in evening dress, music generally, flowers and an elaborate supper, instead of the ‘no enter- tainment” prescribed by the ‘‘Author of Don’t.” But most absurd of all is the answer given to the question ‘What is a caad reception?” “A reception in which cards are in! luced—pro- gressive eucher. whist, &c.,—and usually fakes place,” whatever that may mean, ‘‘at 8 o'clock!” Coney our Bhat et 8 Koga have —_ in ington during four years,where the card receptions of ‘he White House and cabinet have been such features of social life.

A new measurement was then mad: 8. J. Fague and 8. T. G. Morsell tor was asked to settle the dispute. There was a crowd of bricklayers at the auditor's office to-day waiti: to hear the verdict.
