THE PRESIDENT’S CALL! Many to Pay Their Respects but Offices Seekers Not So Numerous. THE PENNSYLVANIA SENATORS AMONG THE CALL= ERS—THAT WORRISOME PHILADELPHIA POsT- OFFICE—TWO MARYLAND DELEGATIONS — EX- SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER SHOWS UP. Senators Quay and Cameron walked arm in arm up the White House steps this morning. Half an hour later arm in arm they walked down again. They were with the President longer than morning callers usually stay, and they seemed content and united. They were trying to harmonize the President with their views concerning tle appointment of a post- master at Philadelphia and as to some other appointments, DISCOURAGED OFFICE-SEEKERS, A large number of people assembled in the east room for the public reception, but the list of morning business callers was not as long as usual. Many faint-hearted among the office- seekers took the adjournment of the Senate as a notice that the jig was up with them, and they spent their remaining funds for railroad tickets. Enough remain to make it interest- ing for the President and his Cabinet. But somehow it was generaily believed that no ap- pointments woukl be made to-day, and perhaps not for a day or two yet, and there was a great relief of the pressure to gain admittance to the President's private office. An unusually large number of ladies were among the callers this morning, but few only of them saw the President. TWO MARYLAND DELEGATIONS called. One was on a mission of courtesy, the other was on business, The first was a com- mittee of the Union veterans of Maryland, headed by Col. Geo. W. F. Vernon, who called to invite the President and his cabinet to attend their annual banquet at Baltimore, April the 9th. The other, headed by Col. Geo. E. Low- ree, of the Young republican club of Balti- more, urged the President to appoint Gen. W. W. Ross, of Maryland, deputy commissioner of pensions, OTHER CALLERS. Later, Mr. Bancroft, the historian, called. He was assisted up the stairs by a young man, and was at once admitted to the library. Two or three democratic Senators called—Daniel, Barbour and Blackburn. The latter had a arty of friends whom he wanted to introduce, x-Senator Riddleberger appeared at the White House for the first time since the episode in the Senate. He is looking pale and worn, Other callers were Senators Plumb, Stockbridge and McMillan, Representatives-elect Tucker, of Virginia, Dunnell and Scranton, and Repre- sentatives Reed, and Browne of Indiana, THE PHILADELPHIA POST-OFFICE, The Pennsylvania Senators and the republi- can members from Philadelphia are very au ious lest the appointment of Field to the Phil- adelphia postmastership should be made de- spite their protest, They would not be as much surprised as they would be grieved if this should occur. RESOLUTIONS OF THE CITIZENS’ COMMITTEE. Dr. Reyburn, who presided at the meeting of the Citizens’ Committee of One Hundred last night, called on Private Secretary Halford to-day, and through him presented the President with the resolutions of that meeting concerning the District appointments. It was said at the White House to-day that everything was still at sea as to these appoint- ments. Just before the President went to the east room for the general handshaking the callers took a new start and for fifteen or twenty min- utes many more names were added to the list. AMONG THE LATE CALLERS were the Vice-President, Mr. Allen Thorndike Rice, the new minister to Russia, Mr, Edwin H. Terrell, Minister to Belgium. About all the political lights who are sup- posed to have a hand in the settlement of the question of THE BIG OFFICES IN NEW YORK are in the ¢ It is understood that the Vice- President's visit to the White House was on that matter, They expect everything to be settled within twenty-four hours, though there may be little longer delay. Platt, Erhardt, Van Cott and a lot of other New Yorkers are here hard at work. It is looked upon as practically assured that Van Cott be postmaster of ew York city and Erhardt will be collector of the port. Collector Magone came over to- dey in response to a te am and had a long talk with Secretary Windom He is prepared to give way to his successor very soon, The appraisership and the naval office are still unsettled, but an agreement is hoped for by to-morrow. PUBLIC PRINTER. The President expects to be able to decide upon the appointment of the govermnent printer by the middle of next week and he will then make the appointment. Referring to the late appointment of assist- ant secretary of state, so good a democratic authority asthe Boston Post has this compli- mentary mention: “The appointment of Mr. William F. Wharton to b@ assistant secretary of state comes as a gratifying surprise. Mr. Wharton's qualifications for the office, both in character and attainments, are undoubted, and there is no question as to the value of his serv- ices to the government.” « Naval Affairs. The commandant of the marine corps has been directed to detail guards for the York- town and Adams, the former to report on the 10th and the latter on the 20th inst, The contract for the construction of the ma- chinery of the armored cruiser Maine has been awarded to N. F. Palmer & Co., of New York, at $735,000. The New Armored Coast-Defense Vessel. THREE BIDS FOR HER CONSTRUCTION RECEIVED. Bids were opened in the office of the Secre- tary of the Navy at noon to-day for the con- struction of the new armored coast-defense vessel. Three bids were received: Cramp Brothers, of Philadelphia, class 1, hull and machinery, $1,614,000; N. F. Palmer, jr., & Co., Quintard iron works, New York, class 1, hull and machinery, $1,690,000, and the Union iron works, of San Francisco, class 1, hull and ma- chinery, $1,628,950.

SECRETARY NOBLE AND MR. BELL COMPARE DIS- PATCHES—THE LATTER HAD THE LATEST NEWS. When Nicholas M. Bell, the ex-superintend- ent of the foreign mail office, was an active hustler for the democratic party in St. Louis, he knew Gen. Noble, the Secretary of the In- terior. The two met last night at the Presi- dent’s reception, and naturally their talk drifted to St. Louis matters. “By the way,” observed the Secretary, ina casual tone, “we carried things pretty well in the elections yesterday.” “How is that?” asked Mr. Bell, with consid- erable interest. “T received a telegram,” remarked the Secre- tary, producing one from his pocket, “which states that the republicans carried the elec- tio “What hour was that telegram sent?” asked Mr. Bell, with a perceptible tremor in his voice, “Seven o'clock,” said the Secretary with a mild look of surprise. “T have a telegram,” said Mr. Bell, as he pro- duced one from U pei and his eyes twinkled with suppressed mirth. “It was sent at 10 o'clock and says that the democrats car- ried the eee ee majority.” e over the ane twe Sita Sot Ed a mingled ps ls For the remainder of the evening it b- served that Mr. Bell's face tegen baal smiles as if he had just got an office instead of having just one, Promotep.—Mr. P.

Loxpon, April 3.—Lord Randolph Churchill, is very indignant at being compelled to refuse to stand for Central Birmingham. He said this morning: “I thought they would have jumped at the chance of a great unionist victory.” He is bitterly chagrined at his lost chance. Ran- dolph has been posturing as oppose to Bal- fourism and against the admiralty programme, but at a moment's notice he was ready to stand asan enthusiastic supporter of the ministry.

Sir Charles Russell is laboring through the story of the failure of the Irish land legislation, Mrs. Gladstone is listening attent- ively to Russell's demonstration that her hus- band’s great reform of 1870 was a total failure, The judges are not yet bored. The Times at last is hearing some Irish history. Boulanger’s flight was unexpected. Deron- lede’s prosecution will bring into clear relief this chivalrous, impractical enthusiast.

Scorianp, Dak., April 3.—Another terrible prairie fire swept over the country south of Scotland Monday afternoon and its path is now marked by the smouldering embers of many homes. A very high wind prevailed all da and with the grass as dry as tinder the terrific force of the fire is beyond description. At 3 o'clock word was brought to town that the airie Was afire northwest of town and imme- AFIRE. ing fire armed with brooms und c Arriving at Alfred Brown's farm, two miles north, all his barns, dairies and cattle- sheds were ONE BLAZING MASS and the efforts of the crowd were directed to saving his residence and beating the fire out that would ina short time have swept down upon the town, Brown's residence was saved but all his household goods that had been car- ried out by the family were burned. One mile north of Browns the fire burned Henry Hagel- fry out of every earthly possession. His house, barns and stock were consumed and he barely pedwith his family. “Across from Hageltry lived S. K. Tomlinson, a prosperous farmer, and everything about his place except his house Wis swept awi Five houses and several head of live stock were among his losses, His wife was home alone when the fire broke out and could do nothing to save the property. By evening the fire in the west had been extin- guished, but it is still raging in the southeast, A TOWN HALF CONSUMED. The town of Olivet, the county seat of Hutch- inson county, eight miles north. is reported to be more than half burned up. ‘The bridges on the railroad west of the town were burned ‘The losses for the last two days will be $50,000. 4 GIRL FATALLY BURNED. Sr. Pact, Miyy., April 3.—A Pioneer Press Rapid City, Dak., special says: A prairie fire started one mile northeast at noon yesterday, and was driven by a 65 mile gale with destrac- tion in its path. Three houses were burned. One of them was occupied by Mrs. a girl companion aged seventeen y Elois Madison, and a hired man named Aston, ‘The three left the house and ran through the flames. Mrs, Bailey and Aston escaped with some severe burns, Miss Madison fell, and the fire catching her clothing burned it completely from her body. She was taken to a neighbor's and lies at the point of death. The house and household goods are a total loss. — BOULANGER IN BELGIUM. He Issues a Manifesto to the French People—Awaiting the Elections. Panis, April 3.—Gen. Boulanger has issued a manifesto from Brussels to the French people. He says that he will not submit to a trial by the senate, but that he is willing to be tried before magistrates or a jury. In conclusion, Gen. Boulanger says he will await the elections, which will make the republic habitable, honest, and free. BOULANGER FEARED FOR HIS LIFE. The Presse says that Gen. Boulanger left Paris at the request of friends, who were in- formed that he would be tried by an exceptional tribunal and that he would not escape alive. During his absence Gen. Boulanger will con- tinue the struggle for a revision of the consti- tution. ROCHEFORT CONFERS WITH BOULANGER, Brussexs, April 3.—Gen. Boulanger and M. Arene,a member of the French chamber of deputies, arrived at Mons, Belgium, this morn- ing. They were met at the railway station by M. Rochefort. The party then repaired to the Hotel Monarque, where they held a conference. eget CHICAGO ELECTION ROWS. A Murder at the Polls and a Knock- Down at the La Salle Club. Cutcaco, April 3.—The election passed off yesterday on the whole very quietly at the polls, only one serious affray being reported. In the first ward John Carr and Ed. Brown, both col- ored, working for different aldermanic can- didates, became involved in a heated dispute, asa result of which Carr was fatally stabbed by Brown. At the La Salle club house last evening Geo. H, Williams, defeated republican candidate for West Town assessor, had a dispute with ex- Alderman Simons and knocked the latter down, cutting his face severally with a ring. Wil 6 claimed he was unnerved by the long strain of political excitement and that Simons not only taunted him with defeat, but called him names, Simons’ friends claim that the assault was un- called for, that Simons had merely joked Will- iams about the landslide. The affair created excitement, and many exaggerated stories re- garding the nature of Simons’ injuries were circulated. Williams is president of the La Salle club. He is the man it whose at the primaries and since. was as- saulted and severel beaton twice on it of the an ty eos ht suit against several ns, including a tain and two officers, for damage. re piesa ars ete whee The men are now (noon) ‘the cars to the RHODE ISLAND ELECTIONS.

April 3. —In the reichstag to-day the naval secretary, referring to the loss of Ger- man warships in the receut barricane at Apia, said it was the dnty of the country to mitigate the suffering of the victims of the disas- ter. Regarding the situation in Samoa he said that the report of the German officer in command there did not show that the hives or property of Europeans were endangered, and he was sure that the British warship Oal- Hope would not have left Samoa if the situa- tion had been critical, He announced that the government intended to re the wrecked German vessels as soon as possible, as the United States governm@nt was about to send | three cruisers to take the place of the Ameri- can warships that had been lost. THE RESUL IN sT. Lou. Reasons for the Defeat of the Republi- tion is in progress to-day. The weather is clear and bright and the prespect is thata large vote will be polled. It is doubtful if an election will be had upon the general ticket, and in a number of towns the vote on the legis- lative ticket promises to be very close.

Fort Dope, Iowa, April 3.—The concerted action of river land settlers to forcibly regain possession of lands from which evictions were made last fall continues uninterrupted. Three additional farms from which occupants were ejected were seized yesterday by farmers, who sowed crops in the name of the evicted tenants, Asmall army of men and teams, with machin- y and seeds, will make a tour of the entire r land district and sow crops wherever evictions have been made. The excitement at- tendant on this bold action of the settlers has been greatly heightened by the proposed insti- tution of legal proceedings pen ged all who participate in this latest move with conspiracy. Such action, it is feared, would precipitate the long-averted trouble, as it would result in the arrest of a large numberof farmers, and all nn- able to furnish bonds would be placed in j A move like this would result disastrously to farmers at this season, and it is announced that rather than submit they will resist arrest. County Attorney Moore is considering the best mode of procedure. —— THE OSKALOOSA IDEA. That Tow® Elects Female Officers Again and Cottonwood Falls Follows Suit.
