THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., BUSINESS MEN TALK. They Give Their Views in Regard to the Carrying Trade. New Yorn, May 10.—After listening to the views of railroad presidents for the past four days the Senate committee, which is investigat- ing the workings of the interstate-commerce law, at the Fifth Avenue hotel this morring settled itself to hear the opinions of some rep- resentative business men of this city. ‘The first witness called was Charles 8.

He prefaced his testi- mony by saying that he differed materially from the ions held by the previous witness. The interstate law, he said, was a good one in many respects, and the ition of the merchants under it was better than while “pooling” was in vogue. One bad thing about the law, how- ever, was that the penalties for violation were not severe enough. There was a tendency, too, to dis- criminate against seaboard points in favor of foreign ports, as, for instance, recently, where the rate from Milwaukee to Liverpool was 19 cents, while to New York it was 33 cents. Without the Erie canal rates would not be as = they are; the canal acts as a regu- lator, and, in my opinion, we should not re- strict the Canadian roads for that same reason; we need them asa regulator, but they should be under the same government contro! as our own roads.

The warm weather is gradually but surely overcoming the place-hunter, and if this torrid spell can only be kept up for a week or two the President will be thankful, even though the cause for his gratitude keeps him in a state of chronic perspiration. Anything, even s biaz- ing sun, overheated before its time, is prefer- able to the warmth of the office-seeker and the ardor of his affection for the President. There are signs, however, that the contest is waning somewhat, and appearances indicate that ina little while the White House will be compara- tively deserted. How much of a relief this will be to the President no one knows, save only himself and ex-Presidents Hayes and Cleveland. FEWER CALLERS; MORE APPOINTMENTS. Toanumber of gentlemen, within the last few days, the President has repeatedly stated that if he could only be relieved from the often useless burden of seeing so many callers he wonld be able to make a large number of appointments. The callers now are less numerous than they were two weeks ago, but they still keep up their fire from afar off; the mail has not Riminished in the least. While this condition of affairs is | doubtless pleasing to the President it is the cause of much grief in the office where, the hours of labor are prolonged by the great in- flux of correspondence. . CONGRESSIONAL CALLERS. The major portion of to-day’s callers were gentlemen who have seats in the capitol and their constituents, Two visitors were Senators Hiscock and Higgins, the latter having with him Charles H. Treat, of Delaware. Representative H: Bingham, of Philadel- phio, trying desperately hard to keep cool, es- corted Peter E. Buck, who was the elector for the thirteenth Pennsylvania district. Kansas was present in the person of Repre- sentative Peters, who has a little land office trouble which he is endeavoring to straighten out agp s Ohio, diminished innumbers but undismayed, had for its champion Representative Thompson, The other cen who called were Re resentatives Finley, Henderson, of Illinois; Brown, of Virginia; Bayne and Milliken. Ex- Representative Harry Libbey, Gen. Anson G, McCook, secretary of the Senate, and Gen. J. inguished W. Foster were among the more disti visitors, The later arrivals were W. J. Durham, Sey- mour, Ind.; W. N. Toler, Virginia; Joseph C, Hornblower and W. H. McDowell, Chambers- burg, Pa., the latter simply desiring to pay his respects, THE CABINET MEETING, The cabinet met at its regular hour, 12:30, the only absentee being Secretary Proctor, who is away weston a tour of inspection, The heat was so great in the cabinet-room that the solid door was allowed to remain open, and as @ substitute the screen door was swung to. Visitors who came in while the cabinet was in session had to enter or depart through Gol. Crook’s office. for fear that they might possibly overhear words which the light breeze might waft cut into the corridor. Senator Hawley went out through the office, remarking as he went, “I don’t think they've got anything there that would be of any use to me.” THE CHANGE OF PUBLIC PRINTER. The President summarily ciosed Mr. Bene- dict’s official career last night. The announce- ment of Mr. Palmer’s appointment as public printer was made on Wednesday, and those in authority thought that Benedict would surel; take advan of the opportunity thus afforde him to resign. The day passed, but there was no sign of resignation, and up to 6 o'clock last night the gentlemen from Ellenville was silent. It was evident that he was not of the resigning kind, so last night the President sent a terse little communication to him, informing him that on and after this date his services would be no longer required. That was a decidedly abrupt way of putting it, but it was a success, for Public Printer Palmer took hold to-day. THE QUESTION OF CAPT. MEREDITH'S APPOINT- MENT as chief of the bureau of engraving and print- ing, as previously stated in Taz Srar, has been definitely settled, and an announcement of that fact will probably be made to-day or to- morrow. Then Illinois will be happy. THE GRAND ARMY had a delegation on hand. It was composed of Department Commander W. 8. Odell, RB. C. Harn of San Antonio, Texas, J. M. Pipes, J. M. Odell, Calvin Farnsworth, Capt. Porter, W. P. Pierce and M. Bruckheimer. The Union Vet- erans’ Union was represented in the body by Kobert Aiton,commander-in-chief of the union, and J, R. Wolston and C. E. Clifford. One of the principal objects of the pilgrimage was to secure the appointment of a New Hampshire Grand Army man as superintendent of the gov- ernment reservation at Hot Springs, Ark. he President settled that matter very speedily by informing the visitors that that he did not, — all kindness to them, propose to swerve rom THE “HOME RULE” PRINCIPLE which he had laid down. If he could not find suitable man in Arkansas he would then hear what they had to say about their candidate. ‘The delegation was perfectly satisfied with the President's argument and were much pleased at the manner in which he had received them. They referred also to the fact that rule 10 of the civil-service regulations was as yet una- mended, and as a consequence a large number of worthy veterans were still out in the cold, so to re The President said that that matter was on his derek, and just as soon as he could possibly take it up he would doso. Up to the present he had been so pressed that he really had not had time to éo many things which were really of importance, A PROPOSED RIVER TRIP, The President has probably decided to go down the river on the United States steamer Despatch, but when he will start is as yet, a state secret, locked securely in the Heciar mental vaults of him- self and Secretary Halford. ‘The probabilities, which are vague at best, point to Monday next as the day on which the little trip will be taken. The arrangements appear to be in a state of chaos. 4 FLAG FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. Some mysterious donor has bestowed on the White House a flag and all the appur- tenances belonging thereto. Who sent it nobody knows, but it is intended to be flung to the breezes every day. At resent the flag is only displayed on national holidays, on Saturdays when the Marine band gives a concert, andat half mast when some great public man departs this life. There may be a change now, and the will perhaps be seen ovary ainy in the year, Te BINGHAMPTON’S PUBLIC BUILDING. Over 4,000 women, residents of Binghampton, N. Y.. have petitioned the President to prevent the erection of the public building in that city in the location which has been selected for it. Its surroundings, they say, are immoral and ulsive, The President has not taken any action on the matter as yet. ANOTHER COLOR LINE CASE. Charge of Discrimination in a Theater to be Tried. Emanuel Molyneaux Hewlett, the colored lawyer who has several times interested him- self in cases where the color question is in- volved, has brought to the attention of the public another case, in which George L. Pryor, acolored lawyer from Norfolk, Va., figures as the complainant. Pryor alleges that he was here on @ visit, and that Monday night he escorted a lady to Harris’ Bijou theater. Having obtained tickets for reserved seats he appeared at the door with the lady and presented the tickets to Mr. Wm. Easton, the doorkeeper. The latter accepted the tickets, but the lawyer charges that he was given a back seat and not the seats indicated on the tickets, Lawyer Hewlett was consulted, and he deem- ed i peepee to ute the door-keeper un- der vil rights act, as he did once before.

When the office last changed hands but two months were consumed in the court, but since then the great silver vault under the north court has been built and filled with over eighty-six million silver dollars.

Appleby, the well-known Georgetown physician, will re- gret to hear that he sustained severe injuries by an accident this morning. Shortly before noon the doctor left the residence of Mr. Geo. B.

Judge Bradley Sentences the Convicted Housebreakers and their “‘Fence.” At noon in the Criminal Court to-day, Judge Bradley imposed sentences in the cases of Geo. Parker, convicted of housebreaking at the resi- dences Mr. A. T. Britton, Lieut. A.C. Tyler and Senator Dawes; Lewis Wayman, alias Pat Wayman, for housebreaking at Mr. Britton’s, and Columbus Sewall for the same offense at the residence of Senator Dawes, and James Waters for receiving stolen goods, proceeds of the Dawes and Tyler robberies. Waters was first called, and the court, re- marking that he believed in the doctrine that the receiver of stolen goods, with the knowl- | edge that they were stolen, was worse than the | thief, sentenced him to the extent of the law, on one count—three years at hard labor in the | Albany penitentiary. | Columbus Sewall was next called. The court said that he was satisfied with the verdict, and it was a source of regret, knowing his respecta- ble connections. It was his duty to impose the | sentence, which was eight years in the Albany | penitentiary, TEN YEARS FOR WAYMAN. Lewis Wayman, alias Pat Wayman, was the next. He said that as he was convicted of house-breaking it was no use to make any plea, but he was not guilty of house-breaking, al- though he had some of the articles. He said that he was not the desperado he had been re- presented. ‘The court said he had been prop erly convicted, and it seemed since the arrest of the parties house-breaking had to some de- | gree ceased. Society must rotected, and the sentence in one count in the indictment was ten years in the Albany penitentiary. In the other count sentence was suspended, and for this Wayman said, ‘“Thank you.” PARKER GETS TWENTY-ONE YEARS, Next, George Parker, the principal, was called, and he protested his mnocence of en- tering any one of the three houses, nor did he know of any of them except that of Lieut. Tyler's, he did what he could to tell where | the property was. The court remarked that he was a dangerous character; that he had had a fair trial, and had been convicted on six counts in all, but that he would si — the sentence on the larceny counts. He imposed sentence in the Tyler case of ten years, in the Dawes six and in the Britton case five years, making twenty-one years in all. ‘The prisoners were each brought singly and closely guarded, for, with the experience of the receng attempt of Parker to escape and from some information obtained it was believed that some if not all had made a plot to make a break for liberty. a KILLED AT THE CIRCUS. Arrested as a Deserter From the Army, He is Released in Time to Meet Death. The body of John M. Bainbridge is held at the morgue awaiting the arrival of friends to make some disposition of it. The deceased was the deserter who was recently arrested by Detective Mattingly. Thirteen years ago he left the prison at Fort Leavenworth without permission, and has been wandering about the | United States ever since until some one gave | information to the officer,on which the de-| serter was arrested and turned over to the mili- | tary authorities. Secretary Proctor ordered | his release, and on Tuesday he was allowed to regain his liberty. He had no money and was out of employment. In the afternoon he met Policeman Maurice Quinlan, who paid for the unfortunate man’s dinner and secured lodgings for him at the sixth precinct station, in- bridge then secured employment with Fore- paugh’s circus, and asked Station-keeper Gar- ner to call him early Wednesday morning. The station-keeper did as requested, and Bain- bridge left the station a happy man. He worked hard Wednesday and yesterday, and last night he died in a circus tent, without the attendance of a physician. HOW HE WAS KILLED isnot known. Policeman Riley says that there was a fight in one of the tents, but he could not learn whether Bainbridge was connected | o' with the ‘elgases or not. vei Tine! officers found him he was lying in one o! menagerie tents. He was dead, but his body was still warm. Wm. Mclihenny and Charles Baier, circus men, and Wm. Vaughn, a Washi ian, were arrested and held as witnesses. ‘They were examined by the coroner this morning. Their statements were to the effect that Bain- bridge ran against one of the other employes while removing the tents, and was injured in the stomach. Bainbridge, so one of them stated, said before he died that he wae injured by being accidentally struck by one of the wooden seats that was being removed.

In the Criminal Court, Judge Bradley, to-day, three colored boys—Wm. Harris, Wm. Winston and Daniel Mumford—were convicted of house- breaking (at the stable of John A. Boyland, March 28,)and the larceny of harness. The counsel, Messrs, Hewlett, Holland and Moss, appealed to the court for a jail sentence, but court said that one of the defendants (Mum- ford) had had prison experience, and he was convinced that the jail was not the best place for the imprisonment of boys on account of ne work being provided for them.
