The contract for the Pacific coast quarantines will be made to builders on that coast. Tue Commission oF ADMIRAL Harmony, as chief of the bureau of yards and docks, Navy department, expires with the close of business to-day. Unless a successor is nominated im- mediately a question will arise as to the power of the Secretary of the Navy to designate some one to discharge temporarily the duties of the office. Unlike other government commissions Admiral Harmony’s does not permit of his con- tinuance in office after its expiration and until his successor is appointed and it is believed that the law permitting temporary designations will not apply in this case, as the vacancy does not occur through sickness, absence or death. Cart. Laxperxix, equipment officer of the Norfolk navy-yard, will be detached from the yard on the 10th of April and ordered to com- mand the Jamestown. AS Amentcan Fisuway Ix Fraxce.—Some months ago Col.

LINCOLN FOR ENGLAND. ——~-—__- MURAT HALSTEAD GOES TO GERMANZ ——___ PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE DISCUSSED —— ‘The Senate. Mr. Hoar offered a resolution (which was re- ferred to the committee on contingent ex- Penses) to pay to Henry V. Poor 2500 in full compensation for the preparation of statistical matter in the service and under the direction of the committee on foreign relations, The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Mitchell authorizing the committee on’ mines and mining to continue its inquiry into the causes of delay in considering uncontested tases in the mineral division of the general land office was taken up and referred to the committee on mines and mining. TENURE OF THE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE OF THE SENATE. The resolutions heretofore offered by Mr. But- ler, declaring that the tenure of the President pro tempore does not expire at the meeting of Con- gress after a recess, but is held at the pleasure of the Senate, were taken up, and Mr. George made a Constitutional argument in opposition to them. He argued that a President pro tempore could only be chosen for time during which the necessity might exist,. that was, during the absence of the Vice-President, He referred to the English parlimentary history in support of his position. and stated, as a remarkable fact that, up to the time of the protectorate (when a speaker pro tempore was elected five times) no speaker pro tempore had ever been elected, it being the custom for members to retire and perform no business while the speaker was absent on account of sickness or other cause. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS, he said, why the house of commons adhered to the idea of having no substitute for the speaker was that that officer, although elected by the house to be approved by the king; and an- other reason was that as it was regarded im- portant to have the regular speaker always in the chair a provision for any kind of substitut. would encourage the speaker's absence. Simi- lar reasons, he said, applied here. The Vice- President ‘was not only approved by the sovereign (the people) but was chosen by the sovereign. He was pe not by the Senate, but by the people. ‘For important and grave reasons the people hud retained to themselves the elec- tion of that officer. For that reason no ar- rangement should be made that would tend to show that the | Boome of the vice-president was not material. MR. TURPIE TOOK THE OPPOSITE VIEW of the question and agreed that the words of the Constitution indicated the term of the service of the President pro tempore. The words were ‘‘in the absence of the Vice-Presi- dent.” It would be noticed, he said, that the word “absence” was written in the Constitution with a capital A, indi- cating that the word included’ every Occasion of absence. It referred to ail absences of the Vice-President. Of course, the President pro tempore held his office subject to the pleasure of the Senate. The Senate might chose a new substitute for the Vice-Pres- ident, but it would chose such substitute for all the absences of the Vice-President. Mr. Reagan coincided with the views ex- pressed by Mr. Turpie. It seemed to him that the practice of the Senate in electing a president pro tempore made to serve during the pleasure of the Senate was, perhaps, allow- able ander the language of the Constitution, and it was certainly conducive to the conveni- ence of the Senate. MR. EVARTS SAID that, after a careful examination of the Consti- tution, he was convinced that there was really no doubt of the competency of the Senate to THE PRESIDENT’S JOKE. Good Humor Pervades the White House this Sunshiny Day. EVEN THE UNUSUAL LARGE GATHERING OF ANX- IOUS OFFICE-SEEKERS INFECTED—THE PHILA- DELPHIA POST-OFFICE MUDDLE—THE VACANT CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONERSHIP—WHITELAW REID AMONG THE CALLERS, The President perpetrated a joke this morn- ing. He was in an excellent humor all day. The bright sunshine, and the fresh air blowing through the south windows of the White House, which were wide open to receive it, drove away the fatigue of hard work and refreshed him. Even a throng of office-seekers, whose numbers showed more than the average daily increase, could not disturb his good humor. He joked at their expense, and the whole assemblage seemed as happy as they could be made in the absence of appointment to office. Representative Grosvenor, acting for his colleague, Mr, Butterworth, introduced to the President Mr. Child, the Ohio candidate for public printer. Mr, Child at once seized upon the opportunity to speak in his own behalf. He said that if made public printer he would be entirely free from entangling alliances and could exercise the duties of the office without fear or favor, ae "he have made no promises to any one, said. “Iam not pledged to man, woman, or child.” : “And yet,” said the President, looking him straight in the face as he said it, “and yet you want me to pledge myself to a Child!” THE MANSION CROWDED WITH OFFICE-SEEKERS. The Presid ent required all his good humor to last through the trials of the day. There was not a moment during the morning until 1 o'clock, when he went to the east room to shake hands with the patriotic citizens who would honor the chief magistrate without wanting office, that the cabinet room, the President's private office andthe lobby was not crowded about as full as they could hold. THE PHILADELPHIA POST-OFFICE RUMPUS. Representative Harmer and other Pennsylva- nia members were on hand early in the morn- ing to talk about the situation of affairs regard- ing the Philadelphia offices. The Field-Leeds rivalry over the postmastership has kicked up considerable of a rumpus. and all hands are at work now to try to smooth the matter ever. All the parties interested—the Postmaster-General, the two Senators and the Representatives from Philadelphia—haye talked the matter over, up and down and on all sides, and are now of the impression that it can be settled amicably. The plan proposed is for both Field and Leeds to step aside and for the Postmaster-General and the delegation to agree upon some business man of high character who will accept the office. It is thonght this will be the more easily accomplished since Mr, Field has not yet actu- ally accepted the position. There is said to be a perfect agreement as to the other important offices—Cooper to be col lector, Powers to be naval officer and Leland to be surveyor of the port. FIRST ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR. Senator Plumb and Representative Perkins, of Kansas, were there, as the latter expressed it, to introduce the new first assistant secre- tary of the Interior to the President. They as- sumed that Judge Chandler's appointment to that position was already settled upon, and he was with them to meet General Harrison, Judge Chandler is a prominent lawyer in Kan- sas, and has been judge for the ninth judicial district for several terms, having succeeded Judge Peters to that position when the latter was elected to Congress, A MARYLAND DELEGATION. Representative McComas called on the Pres- ident and Secretary of the Treasury with a del- egation of Marylanders, in behalf of F, Snow- den Hill, of Prince George's county, to be col- lector of internal revenue for the Maryland dis- trict, which includes the District of Columbia. KENTUCKY ®EPUBLICANS, Judge W. O. Bradley, who has led the re- publicans of Kentucky in several brilliant polit- ical battles for governor and other places, and was their candidate at Chicago for vice-presi- dent, arrived in the city last night and had a talk with the President this morning. He did not ask for any office and says he is not going to. It is known, however, that he expects the choose a presiding officer to act whenever the occasion should arise, and that it would be very inconvenient to tolerate any opposite view. IMPORTANT NOMINATIONS, Robert T. Lincoln Gets the English Mis- slon—Other Ministers Appointed. The President to-day sent the following nominations to the senate: ‘Robt. L. Lincoln, of Ilinois, to be envoy ex- traordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to Great Britain.

Ex-Representative Peter Paul Mahoney died at the Arlington hotel at 8:55 this morning. Mr. Mahoney was a native of New York city, where he was born on June 25, 1848, His edu- cation was obtained in the public schools of New York, and afterward he was engaged in the dry business there. He never held any public office until he was elected to the Forty-ninth Congress asa democrat from the fourth New York district. He was re-elected to the Fiftieth Congress, but did not stand for election to the Fifty-first Congress, Caucus of Republican Senators. SENATOR COKE’S SPEECH WILL NOT BE ANSWERED AT THIS SESSION. ‘The republican Senators held a well-attended caucus to-day, prior to the meeting of the Sen- ate, Two subjects were under consideration. One was with reference to putting all clerks on the annual list, payment to be made out of the wey fund. There was a gen- eral sentiment in favor of doing this thing, but the question of its legality being raised no con- clusion was reached, It is inferred from what was said that le, doubt will be sufficient to defeat the scheme, although that is not absolutely certain, The ee pie = “Shall Senator wants 8] on southern out face lg og ex] was not - upon at iis session, Ss Postmasters.—D. J. Tavenner has been ap- ee ee at Philomont, Loudoun county, Va., and T. Cartwell at Cherry Hill, fount, Mae Sexator Wasuscey, who has not been in good health since his election last month, has returned to Minnesota, where ho will remain until entirely restored. President will offer him some place of honor. His friends say he is to be minister to Mexico, General Landrum, of Lancaster, Ky., appeared to-day to take personal c of his candidacy for pension agent at Louisville. So as 1s known Mr. Vincent Boreing, of London, ., is his only rival. RECORDER OF DEEDS OF THE DISTRICT. Mr. G. G. Cornwell's delegation of citizens of the District saw the President and urged upon him the appointment of 8. P. Brown to be re- corder of deeds, : Messrs, Armour, Gunning, Weisner, Brown, and John Gibson, had a soldier's candidate—L. J, Bryant. for the same place, whose petition they wanted to present to the President, but they arriveda little late and had to be content to make an appointment for to-morrow. OTHER CALLERS. Others among the President's callers were Gov. Beaver, of Pennsylvania; Senators Far- welland Cullom and friends, ex-Speaker Car- lisle, Senator Allison, Representatives Turner, Wallace, Harmer, Senator Dawes, Representa- tive La Follette, Senator McMillan, Gen. John New, with Col. Amos Webster; Representa- tives Laidlow, Felton, Morrow, Bayne, and Stone, Senator Pugh, Hiss eopopensy Stivers, Delegates Caine and Dubois, Gov. Chalmers, Senator Hiscock, Representatives McKenna and Vandever, Senator Higgins, and Assistant Secretary Maynard. The President had to break away from a crowd upstairs to keep his hand-shaking appointment below. THE HAND-SHAKING, The east room was fairly well filled with peo- ple, visitors to the city, who desired to shake hands with the President. Shortly before the reception there was a decided increase in the crowd in the waiting room upstairs, even standing room being ata premium. Just when the multitude was greatest Secretary Windom appeared, He had intended reaching the li- brary through that room, but he changed his mind when be. sew bow thoroughly it was oc- cupied. A mixture of smile and pity crossed his countenance, and then he followed Door- keeper Loeftier’s lead and went in by another and less crowded way. THE SUPREME BENCH VACANCY, Among the names to be presented to the President for consideration in connection with the existing vacancy on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, will be that of Judge M. M. Granger, of Zanesville, Ohio. It is claimed for Judge that he combines in a marked degree high personal character, thorough scholarship, long legal practice, and valuable experience on the bench, and with an excellent military record withal, His friends are sure that no other objection than one based on geographical ground can be urged against the selection of Judge Granger, and this they do not believe will have weight against the unblemished character and superior qualifications he would bring to the office. It is understood also that the movement in behalf of Judge Granger will be backed by the almost unanimous voice of the bar of Ohio, THE LIVERPOOL CONSULSHIP, Mr. Thos. H. Sherman, who is mentioned for the consulship at Liverpool, is well and favor- ably known in Washington, where he has re- term as many years past he has held a responsible position in the consular bu- reau of the State department, and his peculiar fitness for the imy it at Liv 1 is strongly attested by Dr. St. Clair, tio ecient chief of the consular bureau, eS ee: The appointments to the interstate commerce commission, it is understood, will not be made for some time yet—certainly not during «the special session, OFIOANS. Representatives Grosvenor and Thompson and a delegation of Ohio folks called to urge upon the President the appointment of H.C. Jones as the Ohio candidate for second deputy commissioner of pensions. They say he has the united support of the delegation, and he will certainly get the appointment. They asked also for the appointment of Dr. Bowers, of Ohio, to a German consulate. STRUGGLE FOR THE CHARLESTON, 6 C., POST- OFFICE. Three very active candidates for the post- mastership at Charleston, South Carolina, are on hand, each with a pocket full of indorse- ments. Two are colored men—W. A. Grant and Dr. W. D. Crum. The other is the ex- postanaster, Taft. a ealive rt Smalls is urgin, e al intment ot Crum, but extends courtesies told 6 other chn- didates, who understand that they have his friendship but not his support in this instance. To-day he introduced Mr. Grant to the Presi- dent as a prominent business man at Charles- ton. Dr. a the man Mr. pene expects <4 see appointed, is ractici ysician, an has appr eliatory 6,000 citizens, He isa graduate of Howard university here. The term of Mr. Mowry, the present postmaster, does not expire fora year yet, but the candi- dates expect to secure his removal. OTHER SOUTH CAROLINA OFFICES. Mr. E. M. Brayton, chairman of the execu- tive committee of South Carolina, called to con- vince the President of his fitness to be district attorney for South Carolina. T. J. Toumey claimed to have no selfish object in calling on the President, but it is understood that he would accept the U.S. marshalship for South Carolina, which he vacated in behaif of a dein- ocrat during the last administration. Mr. Pio- neer, of the same state, is credited with wanting the same office. WHITELAW, REID AND WM, WALTER PHELPS, “I would be {very much delighted, sir, to have your name in my autograph album, sir,” | said Arthur Simmons, Secretary Halford’s doorkeeper this morning to a tall, pleasant- looking man who had just come out of the li- brary, “Certainly; with pleasure,” was the response, and the tall man sat down at the doorkeeper’s | table and wrote “Whitelaw Reid, March 27, 1889,” while William Walter Phelps looked over his shoulder and admired the flowing chirog- raphy which has puzzled so many compositors on the New York Tribune. Then Simmons bowed his thanks and the operation was over. The two distinguished men remained in and around the mansion for some time as though waiting for an exp one. He did not come, however, 80 th parted. As they were nearing the tront doo they met ex-Senator Palmer, THE NEW MINISTER TO SPAIN, The Michigander had never met Mr. Reid before, but it did not take Mr. Phelps more than half a minute to make them acquainted with each other, and in less than two minutes the “entente cordiale,” as Senator Palmer calls it in his easy, off-hand Kalamazoo way, was thoroughly established. They parted as reluctantly as though many thousands of miles separated Paris and Madrid. “I leave for Michigan to-night,” said Senator Palmer to a Stak reporter, “but will return in a few days to be ‘coached,’ and then I shall bid a tearful adieu to my native land. My hopes of retiring from public life and giving up the remainder of my existence to the study of agri- culture have again been shattered andI become a wanderer. There will be compensetions, though; I understand they raise a pret‘y good variety of onion over there, and, like all euthu- siastic farmers, I am interested in onions. “Why do I need to be coached? Well, I can’t say. My idea of diplomacy is to hold my apron extended until the plum drops. I never mis- take hurry for activity—that’s our great national error. “Shall I like it in Spain? Certainly; but I wish I didn’t have to go there until November. To spend my winters there and to live in the ‘log-house’ all summer would be my ideal exist- ence. I have no doubt that it will be very pleasant over there, but I am still patriotic enough to prefer a log-house in Michigan to a castle in Spain.” SHEA FOR DISTRICT COMMISSIONER. Father Donnelly had a ten-minutes’ talk with the President yesterday afternoon, in which the clergyman did his best to advance the in- terests of N. H, Shea, who would like to be democratic District Commissioner. “SOLDIER.” C. 8. Cambridge adopted a rather novel scheme by which to attract the President's at- tention. He wrote his name on a card and then beneath it inscribed the word “soldier.” He saw the President and went away smiling. ELECTRIC LIGHT PERMITS.

Liberals and Tories Alike Grieve at the Death of John Special Cable Dispatch to Tar EVENING Star. Loxpox, March 27.—John Bright's death causes. a profound impression. He died very peaceably and painlessly, having been in @ coma since yesterday morning. His four daughters and three sons were all present. It is expected that Gladstone will make the funeral oration in the house of commons. It is widely hoped he will be buried in West- minster Abbey, This would be very appropri- ate as emphasizing the view that peace hath her victories no less renowned than those of war. John Morley was seen this He says it would be a glory to the Abbey. The last great funeral there was the burial of Dar- win. Wherever the burial is, it will be attended by the ministers and university leaders. The universal respect for Bright is a striking in- stance of the march of ideas. He lived to see the paradoxes of a former generation become the common places of the next. HIS LAST GREAT SPEECH was at Birmingham against home-rnie, and this greatly damaged Gladstone's side, His last projanged speech in the house of commons was on the franchise, This was a failure, showing signs of mental decay, John Morley says Whittier was Bright's favorite poet. Chamberlain's son is spoken of as the unionist candidate for Bright's seat in Birmingham. The bells of London churches are tolliny t write. Evening papers with memoirs and dis- scriptions of the death-bed scenes are eagerly bought. All the blinds of the Reform club, his favorite haunt, were immediately drawn on receipt of the news of his death, —_ A NOTED SWI ‘DLER CAUGHT. The Bogus Priest Who Robbed Many Jewelers Arrested in Toronto. Tonoyro, March 27,—Last evening Detective Reburn, acting under instructions from Otta- wa, arrested a man in St, James’ hotel, who it is believed is a swindler badly wanted in Eng- | land and in the leading cities of the United States. His operations were conducted under the guise of a Catholic priest. He was regis- tered as G.

He said that he would postpone his remarks on Mr. Bright un- til Friday, when Mr. Gladstone’ would be present. Mr. Morley thanked Mr. Smith for his con- sideration in regard to Mr. dstone. Mr. Bright represented the central division of Birmingham in the house. — DESPITE THE INTERSTATE LAW, Pooling Has Been Practiced Between the Western Roads. Curcaco, March 27.—A local paper saysr The impression has heretofore prevailed that Since the adoption of the interstate commerce | law all pooling between railroads has be ea abandoned, It transpires, however, that pool- ing is still being practiced by the roads between Chicago and Omaha, covering all the freight trafic between these points, ‘The arrangement was made between the general managers of the various roads immediately after the adoption of the interstate law, and great precautions were taken to prevent the matter from leaking out. Under the arrangement the chairman of the western division of the Western Freight association is authorized to even up shipments by divergmg freight from roads that had secured more than their allotted percent- age of the business to roads that had run behind. This division of traffic has been made up to the present time and is still bei made, But it is probable that this pool ‘will soon be terminated, not because the railroads | engaged in it are afraid of the law but because dissensions have arisen between the lines in in- terest. But for this quarrel the fact that pool- ing is privately being carried on between the Western roads would not have leaked out yet, The discovery of the existence of such pools explains the reason why the following article was made a part of the western president's agreement. “The executive, board shall, from time to time, on application in writing of an accredited representative of any company the president of which is a member of the associa- tion, take such steps after full hearing of all parties in interest as may be proper, requisite, and legal, to secure to each company its due share of the competitive traffic,” nian flere TERRIBLE SUFFERINGS OF A PRENCH FAMILY ON LAKE TEMISCOUATA.
