Curcaco, March 16.—The wheat market went wild aimost from the start, May, after jump- ing from 953, to 96 at the opening to 97/, eased ck momentarily to 97 and then lunged for- ward to 9&}{. Hutchinson's brokers were openly bidding for wheat, in fact, were bidding asmall fraction above the market all the way up just as on yesterday they were offering to sell below the market. “The small shorts were wnic-stricken, but the quantity of wheat jor sale was very scant till May got up to 98 cents, Here the offerings trom some unknown soarce became so large that the market speediiy reacted to 7ge. The crowd #aw when the damage had been done that it had again been whipsawed.” They realized that the wheat bought under cover yesterday at 9c. was sold out under cover to-day at ——— SAFE ROBBERS, They Surprise and Bind the Watchman and Blow the Safe Open.

Fat River, Mass., March 16.—The sixth day of the strike opens with no sign of a satisfactory settlement of the trouble, On account of the weather to-day the pro) mass-meeting in the park was abandoned.‘and the crowd which had gathered there and those on the way were no- tifled that the meeting would be held in Quinn, Woodland & Co.'s hall, which had been offered to the _ strikers. Here a big crowd assembled and filled the hall to its utmost capacity. The members of the executive committee explained the proposition which had been made to them yesterday by the state board of arbitration, which was that the strikers return to work and abide by the decision of the board after a hearing and in- vestigation, They had asked how long it would take the board to decide, and were told it might take three months. They had refused to enter into any proposition that would re- quire them to go back to work without the ad- vance, TRE ARBITRATORS’ OFFER REJECTED, This announcement was received with cheers, and the meeting unanimously indorsed the ac- tion taken by the executive committee and voted to continue on strike. Members of the executive committee made encouraging speeches, They dwelt particularly on the statements made by the manufacturers anticipating a break in the ranks and advised the strikers to stand by each other and show no weakness, . Various gamas have been arranged for the entertainment of the strikers on Monday, and amass meeting will be held in the parkon Tuesday. THE MANUFACTURERS FIRM. The is no change in the attitade of the manz- facturera, Several expressed themselves as firm in the decision to offer or accept no terms so Ibng as the weavers remained out, and they still expect to see a break in the ranks of the strikers by Tuesday.

The strikers are indignantat the action of three corpora- tions which have taken the rent of tenements out of the wages of operatives in advance, and the executive committee is preparing to bring the matter to the courts, ———__ Rock Island Switchmen on Strike.

The Scramble Among Army Officers for Staff Appointments. It is one of the ambitions of a regular army officer to obtain a position in one of the staff departments, where promotion is more rapid, grades are higher, the duties are more agree- able, aud the stations more pleasant, The best indication of this general desire is found in the strife that always takes place whenever a va- cancy occurs in one of these attractive havens, it frequently being the case that 50 officers of the line are applicants for the place, while it is not unusual to find the number running up to a hundred. There are already, it is understood, upwards of a hundred applicants for the va- cancy that will be caused by the promotions incident to the retirement of Adjt.-Gen. Drum on the 28th of May. The position will be that of an assistant adjutant-general, with the rank of major, and captains of the line are busy discussing their chances. THE TWO KINDS, There has always been, since the war, much rivalry between the graduates of the military academy and those officers appointed to the army from the volunteers or from civil life, es- pecially in regard to the matter of staff ap- pointments, and neither side has been slow to claim an undue preference given to the other. WHERE THEY CAME FROM. ‘The following memorandum, prepared by an army officer with great care, shows the exact number of officers in the various staff depart- ments with reference to the source of the ap- pointments. Itshows the state of the staff at the present time, and excludes the engineers, ordnance corps, chaplains, and medical corps, since they are not open to general appoint- ment from the army. . Of the seventeen officers in the adjutant-general’s department, eleven are graduates and six non-graduates: inspector- general's department, one graduate and six | not, judge advocate’s department, two gradu- | Stes, six not; quartermaster’s department, twenty graduates and thirty-seven not; subsis- tence department, sighteen graduates, eight not; pay department, three graduates, thirty- eight not. This gives a towl of 156 officers, of whom §5 are gra uates and 101 non-graduates, TRUNK LINE EXPORT RATES. Hearing by the Interstate Commerce Commission To-day. In response to the request of the interstate commerce cbmmission, contained in the circu- lar letter of March 8, the representatives of the railway carriers comprising the trunk line as- sociation appeared before the commission to- day for the purpose of showing what their respective exports are. and explaining the manner of making them.

The President’s Afternoon Reception and His Army of Callers. There was a reception in the east room at1 o'clock, This was half an hour earlier than the public expected it would be, but there was, nevertheless, a goodly crowd present, The President commenced to shake hands at the hour named, and inf ten minutes had exhansted the snpply—there were no more callers in the rooms There was a crowd in the orridor though, and ontside there were not jess thn three hundred people en route to meet the chief executive. They did not accomplish their design, for, finding that handshaking ma- terial had run out, and knowing nothing of the crowd that was so near, the President left the room and went to bis lunch, crowd that came after was madeiup of dia- appointed people, and some of them were even Afew of the more indignant thought esident Ought to stand in the east room for at least haif an hour whether there were callers enoagh to keep him busy or not, EDI. 0 MEDILE. Shortly after 2 o'clock Mr. Jos, Medill, of the Chicago Tribune called, and was ushered into | Secretary Halford’s office, He held quite lengthy conversation with the secretary | and then chatted for awhile with the President, who had mvited him to call, Five minntes later Senator Harris called; he remained upstairs for half an hour and departed with a woebegone expression all over his coun- tenance. A SOUTH WASHINGTON DELEGATION, composed of Rev. Father Donnelly, Dr. D. H. Hazen, C. H. Parker, and M. J. Colbert, called } |tosee the President, but as he was at lunch they talked Secretary Halford.

CANDIDATES BEGINNING TO GROWL, Agreat many of the candidates are begin- ning to growl because of the President's delib- erate in making appointments, but their growls will have ample time to increase in volume and reverberative power be- fore the present plan of campaign is changed. It has practically been decided to | move slowly as to many changes, but especially | will that slowness be visible with regard to the | consular service. It is understood, and it has been go stated by an unexceptionuble authority, that Secretary Blaine contemplates a complete overhauling of the consular service. A number of promo- tions will be made, and where the ‘dead wood” has been cleared out the necessary ap- pointments will be made, Several of the more important consulates will be filled by men in the service in whom the secretary has especial confidence, This action will close up the avenues toa number of important ap- pointments over which many candidates have gloated and on which they have built casties of sand. If Secretary Blaine insists on following out this program he will kill the a: pirations of a good many enthusiasts and he will delay the minor appointments so long that the oftice-seekers will all have gone home to vote at the next presidential election. DISTRICY GOVERNMENT. CONSULTING WITH THE ATTORNEY, ‘The Commissioners are holding a consulta- tion this afternoon with Attorney Davis. ‘Iwo questions under consideration are the legality of Mr. Talty’s appointment as assessor in a district in which it is claimed he is not a resident, and the construction of the militia law, on the int whether the assessors are required to make the assessment. Commissioner Webb said to-day that he did not consider the law mandatory in respect to the assessors making the enrollment.

The Missonrians were on hand to-day mar- shaled by Representative Wade and with an appetite for office that cannot be satisfied. They are possessed of a pertenacity that is uneqalled by any of the delegatiions from other regions and they propose to get what they want with- out regard to the wishes of others, Among the latest candidates from “Mizzoura” is Benjamin G, Farrar, of St. Louis, who thinks he possesses all the qualifications which should mark the character of a man who ought to be an inspector in the Indian bureau, He is making a strong fight. WANTS TO BE CONSUL-GENERAL TO LONDON, Another Missourian, who is anxious to be somebody in this administration, is Chauncey I. Filley. He did lots of work during the last campaign, and his friends thought his merit ought to be recognized and his labor rewarded by giving him the appointment of consul-general at London. The delegation talked to the President about it, but they failed to receive any encourngement. The President heard’ all they had to say, laughed pleasantly, said something jocular about “shooting high,” and bowed out. Then they attacked Secretary Blaine and he was less diplomatic. He said Mr. Filley uld not possibly get that place, not because ¢ was not thoroughly equipped for the position, but becuse it lad already been promised to some other man. MINISTER TO VIENNA, The delegation, following some of the mys- terious intricacies of political mathematics, came to the conclusion that the office in question had been pre-empted by John C. New. 4 pw's friends say, however, that there is no such arrangement; that Mr. New wants to be and will be minister to Austria, The court at Vienna is a particularly brilliant one, and to enjoy its social pleasures is said to be the aim of Mrs. New and her daughters, The office of consul-general at the British capital is not, however, to be sneezed at, and oly to be offered will refuse it, Just what it pays is a — mystery, but ought to know say that the emoluments are ra Jess than $15,000 in a year, while some aay that the figures have at times exceeded 240,000, Socially the position is beneath that of an ambassador, and itis the social feature, which attracts Mrs. New.

A Rich Collection in the National Mu- seum. MANY CURIOUS ARTICLES OF HISTORIC VALUE— THE FAMOUS SUIT OF CLOTHES—FURNITURE AND CHINA WARE FROM MT. VERNON—AN ETSTORIC CANDLESTICK. For many years Washington's long-skirted tory does not relate whether Washington ever succeeded in extracting music from it or not, MRS. WASHINGTON, Many of the articles shown are reminders of the stately perfections of the first lady in the land one hundred years ago. A relic of curious interest is a wuntlet of green yelvet for the left hand, worn, it is said, by Mrs, Washington on state occasions, There is a ca- ious work-bag or reticule, neatly embroi- red and gathered, which Mrs. Washington blue coat, with buff trimmings, buff waistcoat | made herself from materials worn by the gen- and small clothes, hung in a case in the patent Office. Like the unfinished Washington monument, they became a butt for | irreverent humorists. Now the suit “ clothes forms the central object of interest in the extensive collection of Wash- ington relics in the north hall of the National museum. The approach of the centennial of the inauguration of Washington as the first President of the United States has revived the dormant interest in all that relates to the personality of the Father of His Country, and the cases containing these relics are at present among the chief at- tractions of the museum, Washington and vicinity is rich in relics and traditions of Wash- ington. There is Monnt Vernon itself with all the curious and valuable contents of the old mansion, and in several de- partments of the government records or articles are preserved that have been rendered sacred by Washington's hand. In the State department Washington's sword and the gold- headed cane bequeathed to him by Benjamin Franklin, and much prized _by him, are kept. In the register’s office of the Treasury is guar: 43a precious record the book in which Gen. Washington kept account of his expenses dur- ing the revolutionary war. Among the old families of Washington and Maryland mang ar- | ticles can be found, honored as old heirlooms, which tradition says belonged to Wrshington. A LIFE-SIZE STATUE, The objects that have come into possession | ofsthe goverument from time to time, and have value as relics of Washington, have nearly ali now been deposited in the National museum, and are likely to be the first things that a vis: itor will see upon entering the building. The cases stand just at the left of the main entrance. At one side, on a tall pedestal, stands | & plaster figure of Washington himself, the original model made for the Newburgh monu- ment by William Rudolf O'Donovan, figure is of interest because, unlike many other statues of Washington. it is supposed to be historically accurate in point of size and other bodily characteristica. One foot is advanced torward, the head is turned slightly up, theleft hand grasps the scabbard of his sword, which is partly raised, while the right a the hilt as if about to draw the blade from the sheath. The head is email and well _ poised, the body long, with narrow sbonlders and broad hips. The bead and face were modeled from Houdon’s celebrated life cast. and the propor- tions of the figure were settled upon after a study of three full-length portraits of Trumbull, and the statue by Houdon in the state- house at Richmond. The statue is mad: as the studies could determine, cxactly life size. The figure stands about 6 fect 1 in its plaster shoes. The hands and feet, though not awkwardly large, are of good size, and the fig- ure is lithe and athletic, but not stout. THE COLLECTION OF RELICS. The relics contained in the large cases near by form an interesting study aside from their association with George Washington, One whose imagination is easily stimulated can look Tight through these cases and away back into the last century and see there a picture of an old Virginia home surrounded by an estate 0} baronial extent, see the wide balls and fire places, the quaint furniture, the great lante: smoking and flaring in the entry, the h family coach, with its carved and painted pan- els lumbering up to the door, and perhaps the bequeued and belaced and small-clothed pro- pnictor himself, sitting at his ease ina great carved chair with an uncomfortably stiff back. The many smaller articles in the collection suggest a rather complete picture of the fur- nishings of the mansionof a Virginia gentleman of means, at the close of the Revolution, There are many little household articles, doubtless! much prized by Martha Washington, that have an ethnological value now, as showing what people did in those days for lights, for kitchen utensils, and for dining-room and parlor furni- ture. . ‘THE SUIT OF CLOTHES, The clothing of Gen. Washington, honored with acase by itself, comprises the uniform worn by the gencral at the time he signed his commission as commande: chief at Annapolis, Md., 1783. Any young lieutenant recently from’ West Point would outshine the general to-day, so far as gorgeous- ness of apparel went, The coat is of dark blue cloth, with turned cuffs, buff facings, and ornamented = with lar round flat butt upon them whatever. There are with it a long waist- cout of buff-cloth, with rows of smaller brass buttons, and kuee-breeches of buff cloth, with two buttons at the knees and two large ones at the waistband. On the bottom of the case are caretully laid a dress vest of buff cloth spangled and embroidered along the edges of the collar and front and at the pocket flaps, and a pair of buff woolen “smalls.” A pair of breeches of buff silk, also worn on dress ocea- sions repose beside the dress waistcoat. The long blue coat measures 4 fect from the collar to the edge of the skirt. The measurement across the shoulders from seam to seam is but 142; inches. THE LEWIS COLLECTION. Many of the relics in the cases have been in the possession of the government for nearly half a century, and there is but scant record of the manner in which they came down to their re- present place of honor in the museum, A large part of the exhibit comprises what is known as _ the wis collection, purchased by authority of an act of Congress, approved June 20, 1878, from G. W. Lewis and family, These’ relics, composed chiefly of household effects, were continuously in the possession of the Lewis family from the time of Washington's death until they were transferred to the government. They were re- ved from Washington by Mrs. Lewis, who was his adopted daughter and married Major Lawrence Lewis, his nephew, Mrs. Lewis pre- served them in her possession until her death im 185 The list embraces mirrors. chairs, portraits, candlesticks, footstools, tables, mu- sical instruments, oil paintings, gl: and china ware, and = many’ iittle articles that formed the lares and penates of the household at Mount Vernon. There is a late chest given to Washington by his brother awrence, who was an ofticer in the English | na and brought by him trom England. The collection embraces, also,a half-length portrait | of Washington, now in the Interior depart- ment, and which family tradition said w: the best likeness of Washington ever painted, | There is an old ledger in which General | Washington kept a record of his private | business for twenty-one years. A’ large part of this ia in Washington's own handwriting and confirms the school reader story about Washington's neatness asa penman. ‘The ac- counts go into the minutest details of daily expenditure, and even keep record of the general's gains and losses at cards, for on those days it was customary in a friendly rubber to have a “limit.” Two interestin, ticles are exquisite miniatures of Gen. an: Washington painted on wood by Trumbull, and it retained in the heavy old-fashioned gilt frames, now dingy with age, in which they were placed at Mt.Vernon. Another interesting picture is an engraving of the dow- ager Scountess of Huutington, presented to Washington by the countess herself, who, the family tradition sa: claimed relationshi| with the patr leader, A small silk blanket, said to have been the robe in which Washington was christened, is also shown in one of the cases, It is now somewhat faded. Once it had a brilliant lin- ing of crimson silk, but this was eut out by some vandal on one occasion, when at a Washington's birthday cele- bration in Fredericksburg, Va., Mr. Custis, of Arlington, exhibited it and permitted it to be handed around. THE HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE, The articles of furniture shown all once graced the mansion at Mount Vernon. They comprise chairs, tables, candlesticks, dishes, andirons, and many other objects of interest. There is only one chair that looks as Poe it would fit a nineteenth century back. ‘This is an easy chair of genfrous width and large arms, now covered with can- vas, but which was once richly upholstered. This chair was always in es bedroom, and was the last one in which he sat before his death.

Wilson, commissioner of public buildings, and grounds, is told. While riding through the grounds he saw the tents, and, calling 4a watchman, ordered him to have the tents removed and arrest the daring peddler who had erected them, At the same time he remarked that he did not in- tend to have peanuts and small beer stands put up in the public grouuds, The watchman pro- eded to obey his behest, but before an arrest was made Col, Wilson — was informed that the tents were Gen, Washing- ton’s, and that the purpose was merely tosecure photographs of them. Col. Wilson laughed over his mistake and the photographing went on, A rare and valuable part of the collection is & pair of Worcester vases, decorated in gold and colors, with groups of animals painted by O'Neale. These were presented to | Gen. Washington by Mr. Samud Veughan, of | London. A similar pair was purchased a few years ago by Baron Rothschild for a sum said to have amounted to nearly $10,000.

To the Editor of Tux Evetyo Star: In your iasue of yesterday you stated that the adjutant-general had received a letter from me, but failed to find the charges. I can hardly believe that Gen.

The following isa copy of the charges sent to the War department: Wasutnoton, D.

All this with- out just cause or provocation, and while I was riding peaceably and quictly along under secret instructions from one whom | supposed to be in authority I am prepared to farnish witnesses to the above charges if you feel it necessary to take official action in the matter.
