BUT THE VISITORS WERE NUMEROUS, THOUGH NOT ALTOGETHER HAPPY—ONE FAVORED CALLER— HE WAS TOO SMALL TO WANT AN OFFICE—COX GRESSMEN WHO SAW THE PRESIDENT. The office-seeker’s reception at the executive mansion this morning was an abbreviated one, and it was only by strict attention to business that the President succeeded in granting inter- views to the swarm of “would-like-to-be's” which buzzed and flitted around the corridors and offi Secretary Tracy caused the rush. | He called before 10 o'clock and kept every- body else ont for more than an hour. No one could imagine what Secretary Tracy could say that would be of interest to the President, and that would require a whole hour in which to tell it, There was a general agreement to the effect that Secretary Tracy lacked a proper of respect for gother people's feelings, and some of the newer candidates used len- guage which. if the President bad heard it, would have upset all their hopes of political preferment, AT Last.

The President has not had a more welcome visitor for some time than Mitchell Handy. When he came he was admitted to the librar: at once, and received such a hearty greeting that more than one of the bystanders looked enviously on. The favored one was a chubby Uttle fellow, not more than four or five years old, and he was clad in sailor uniform, On the left side of his double-breasted pilot jacket was pinned a red rose, and on the ribbon-band around his cap was the inscription “U Quinnebaug” in gold letters. He was accom- panied by Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, who, incidentally, is his grandfather, and who thinks more of the youngster than he docs of his seat in the Senate.

THE CABINET MEETING, Secretary Rusk was the first on hand for the cabinet meeting. He arrived at afew min- utes after 12, and evidently found the half- honr of useless time hang heavily on his hands, He paced up and down the cabinet room, every little _ while stopping to look at the big marple-framed clock. He took observations of thd barometer and thermometer which are in the wer story of the clock case, and rapped the mArble man- telpiece to satisfy himself as to its solidity. Then he would resume his tramp, occasionally stopping to peep out of the window in the di- rection of the Agricultural department to see if it was still there. Five minutes before the half hour was up Secretary Noble arrived with Secretary Blaine on his heels and accompanied by First Assist- ant Secretary of State Wharton, Attorney- General Miiler was right behind them, and just as the meeting time was sounded by the clock Secretary Tracy walked in. _ Postmaster-General Wanamaker was, as usual, in a hurry, but he was not late, Inside of the next five minutes Secretaries Windom and Proctor arrived together and then the cabinet was complete, with a first assistant Secretary thrown in for good weight. Mr. Wharton did not remain in long and as he left the room he met Vice-President Morton, who was at once admitted. His stay, too, was brief. The cabinet meeting closed at about 2 o'clock. MR.

Schuyler Crosby, late governor of Montana, and the colonel does not propose to lose any good chance to gather in his share of the enjoyment. A woman correspondent of the Buffalo Commercial sent to that journal from Washington a story about Col. Crosby which proved to be untrue, and the Commercial had to furnish a complete line of retraction and apology in consequence. Russell Harrison's paper in Montana copied the story; Russell's subsequently became President and Russell achieved the dignity of being the President's son. Finding him a man of consequence, Col. Crosby has got after him about that slanderous story that his paper copied, and wants a great variety of reparation, : Perhaps if Russell will furnish a retraction, an apology, and a first rate consulship ina good climate Col, Crosby will let him gor 6 A Desirable Locality to Live In, From the Detroit Free Press, She had called upon a real estate man to see if he had a house to suit her, and had gone over the list and found fault with everything.

Testimony as to the Inanguration Inci- dent and the Alleged Nose Pulling. Elsewhere will be found the proceedings of the court-martial trying Capt. Armes up to ree cess to-day. Following is a continuation of the report: STORY OF ANOTHER EYE-WITNESS, Upon reassembling the prosecution produced Mr. Thos, B. Johnson, of South Carolina, as a witness, He was in the lobby of the Riggs House on the 27th of March, and saw the accused there. was seated in the lobby and saw a gentleman on crutches standing by the desk talking to an- other gentleman. As the former turned around and walked out of the lobby toward the dining- room the other followed him ‘with long strides” and, reaching out his left arm, rabbed his hand over the face of the gentleman on crutches.” The latter turned quickly and, for @ moment, seemed dazed. Then he poked his crutch at his assailant, who retreated. The “gentleman on crutches,” followed and struck twice at him; but his crutch hit the pillar both times. The governor said: “This is outrageous,” or “this is dastardly,” the witness was not sure which. There was a cry to “put him ont!” “knock him down!” Somebody caught hold of Armes’ arm and led him out of the hotel, Judge Hubbell wanted to know just how Armes was put out of the hotel, and the wit- ness said that he was sure that Armes did not walk out “arm in arm” with another man, Armes did not remain in the hote than a minute or two, which, more the @ man to remain in such an event. He did not resist in the least, but seemed very glad to leave the hotel. WHAT THE CARRIAGE-CLERK SAW. J. A. Hewes was the next witness, He said that he is the carriage-clerk of the Riggs house. He knew the accused, whom he saw in the lobby of the hotel on the 27th of March. He saw the “major” when he came in, but paid no attention to him. In afew minutes he heard a commotion, and the clerk of the hotel told him to “put that man out,” that he had assaulted one of the guests of the house, ot the pillars, and ‘he seemed very much excited. He asked the clerk if that was the man, and on being told that it was he went up to Armes and put his hand on his arm. Armes | told him to take his hand off and Hewes said hotel, Armes said, “I'VE PULLED HIS D—D Nose. I'm glad of it. I came here to pull his nose, | and I'm glad of it.” Hewes said that he must not pull the noses of guests, and that he must go out or he would put him under arrest. told him to let the man go, that he had done nothing. Armes said: “No, I've done nothing, | This is the end of the matter.” He let Armes go, but he was sorry for it when he learned whose nose it was that had been pulled. there would have been a different sequel. WITNESS HAD SERVED UNDER GOV, BEAVER during the war. The g: him that he did not want him to do anything about the affair. He regarded this as a com- mand to let the matter drop, or else he would have “looked the major up.” THE INAUGURATION INCIDENT. Lieut. Constantine Chase, third artillery, was the next witness, He said that he served on the staff of Col. Gibson on the 4th of March, He saw the accused three times during the day; iirst on the platform in front of the capitol, then near where the presidential party was em- barking, then near the rear wheel of the Vice-President’s carriage near the Peace monu- ment. He was mounted and dressed in the full uniform of an officer of cavalry, followed by a colored servant. Col. Gibson approached Armes, when Capt. Bourke came riding down from the head of the column, and Armes left, or was put out of the procession. Capt. Bourke took the bridle of his horse and led him from the column. Then a policeman came from the side and took the bridle, and the witness ‘saw no more of Capt. Armes.” Col. Gibson was perfectly sober, and, in the opinion of the witness, Capt Bourke was in the same condition, The ac- tions of both officers were proper and soldier- like. Col. Gibson did not take hold of Capt. Armes’ horse. Capt. Armes offered no violence. He ap- pecs to submit to the orders that were given im, He was bowing to some person, and again tried to attract the attention of some per- son in the Vice-President’s carriage. In the opinion of the witness IT IS VERY SINGULAR for an army oflicer on duty to bow to anybody. The court asked if the witness knew of cause for the removal of Capt. Armes fron procession. The reply was that Capt. Armes, to the best of his knowledge aud belief, had no authority for being there. Major Davis next called Lieut. Satterlee, third artille He knew Capt. Armes and saw farch near the Peace monu- the Vice-President’s i Gibson's _atten- ordered him to th his, and th jonel ride forward and report the fact to Gen, Has- tings, He didso, and Gen, Hastings said tell Col. Gibson to REMOVE CAPT, ARMES FROM THE Procession, and, if necessary, to use force, He reported this to Col. Gibson, who at once rode forward and entered into conversation with Armes, While they were thus engaged Capt. Bourke cane riding up Armes was removed from the pre manner described by Lieut. Chi opinion of the witness both COL, GIBSON AND CAPT, BOURKE WERE PERFECTLY SOBER. He had heard common talk that Capt. Armes had no right to be in the procession, and this fact first caused him to call Col, Gibson's at- tention. . Dr. Chas, B, Ewing, U.S. A., was next called. He told the story of the ion of Armes from the procession, substantially the same as the testimony of the other two witnesses, COL. GIBSON ON THE STAND. Col. Gibson was next brought on the stand. He said that he recognized the accused as “Capt, Armes, retired.” On the 4th of March, he being marshal of the first division, he encountered a disreputable looking negro riding in the midst of the President's escort, and he he asked him what he was doing there. ‘Lhe negro said that Col. Armes had told him to ride there and stay there. He put the negro out of the procession, When he approached Capt. Armes with Gen. Hastings’ order to eject Arms, he told Armes that he would have to leave the procession, Armes said that he had authority from Col. Dudley, and offered to produce a letter from him. Gibson said it Col, Dudley had nothing to do with the procession, and again ordered him to leave. While he was waiting Capt. Bourke came riding up and Armes was ut out, with the aid of a policeman whom he, Gibson, called over from the sidewalk. Bourke’s manner was decided; that of an officer who had come to execute an order and pro- posed to execute it, CAPT. BOURKE’S STORY. The next witness was Capt. Bourke. He said that he was aide-de-camp to Gen. Beaver on the 4th of March, On that day he put Capt. Armes out of the procession on account of an_ unauthorized in- trusion into the inaugural parade. As he rode up to Armes, where he stood talking to Col. Gibson at the head of the artillery column, Gib- son was saying that he wanted to hear no more from Armes and that he must leave. He, the witness, took hold of the bridle of Armes’ horse and led him out of the line, Afterward Gen- eral Hastings told him that Captain Armes was in the line again, and sent witness to have him put out. He found him on 15th street near Riggs bank and told a policeman to eject him. Asitwas near the reviewing stand he did not care to have any trouble. TRE ARREST OF CAPT. BOURKE. The witness detailed the circumstance of his arrest on the 5th of March. He waited at the Police Court the next day for two or three hours and learned from District Attorney Shillington that he had refused to issue a warrant to Armes that Armes must leave, got it from his brother, Charles Armes, who is zo a district attorney. The case was finally nolle prossed, Capt. Armes failing to apperr. > Military Cadets Appointed. pointed cadets at the U. 8. military academy. Robert Burnsmoir, of Scranton, Pa.; V. K.

As was stated in yesterday's Star, the commissioner inti- mated to Mr. Burke that his resignation would be acceptable. Mr. Burke refused to comply with this suggestion for the reason, as The District appropriation act for the fiscal Year ending June 90, 1889, contained a clause prohiliting the Commissioners from permit- ting or authorizing any additional telegraph, telephone, electric light, or other wites to be erected or maintained on or over any of the streets or avenues of thecity of Washing- ton.
