White House Furniture in Confusion, but the Callers don’t Mind it. The office floor of the White House to-day resembles nothing so closely as it does a second- hand furniture store. Some of the rooms look ‘8 though one family was mov- ing out while another was moving in. Chairs, sofas and tables are stattered around in confusion, and the office-seeker who calls while affairs continue in their present con- diaion must needs be a skilful mariner, or he will wreck his shins over some antique article of furniture which ;has long outlived its use- fulness, and now exists only to act as astumbling-block. Tho cabinet-room has been emptied of its furniture, so that the scrub- women may the more effectually wrestle with the dirt, and as there was no other place in which to pat the ancient conveniences, they were piled upon and around Doorkeeper Loeffler’s desk. DOORKEEPER L@FFLER'S HERCULEAN TASK. At least, that is where they were when he ar- rived at his post of duty this morning. Since then he has labored hard, and by dint of much muscular exertion and more ingenuity he suc- ceeded in opening up a way by which those who desired to see the President might do so without the aida step-ladder and an alpen- stock. A narrow channel was also cleared to Secretary Halford’s door, and skilful naviga- tors succeeded in reaching the haven with dust- covered garments, but without having lost more than three or four vest button’. Col. Crook's office is a Sahara of desolation with an oasis of awry desks in a faraway corner and a big brass fender on the mantelpiece. All the floors are bare; some are clean, others are undergoing the cleaning process. ‘To-morrow the workmen will cover up the nice clean boards with new matting, but they will leave the stained, rotting and battered skirting- boards and generally dilapidated and alleged- to-be decorated woodwork exposed to the naked eye. THE CLATTER OF FEET upon the uncarpeted stairs was almost contin- uous from 10 o’clock until 12:30, The President had not an idle moment from start to finish. ‘There was always some one around to whisper in his ear prayers to aid this man or to deteat the aspirations of that one. Senator Manderson was one of the earlier visitors to-day. What happened when he was in the library no one probably but he or the President knows, but there is no doubting the fact that the Senator walked to and from the White House, The little “buckskin” horse is still being treated for the injuries received in his runaway a couple of days ago, and the new buggy is not yet ready for use. MR. HARRIS ON DECK AGAIN. Senator Harris called again to-day, The Senator may not have much to say about the distribution of patronage in Tennessee just now, but he is interfering in the matter of the appointment of District Commissioners rather officiously in the opinion of District people. “Got anything? No; I haven't; that’s just what's the matter.” Senator Higgins said that to a Star reporter ashe, in company with a hopeful-looking constituent, rushed’ into the library, When they came out he didn't say anything. He just smiled. Senator Blodgett said he only called to pay his respects, but Kep- resentative Funston went in INTENT ON BUSINESS, So did Representive Ewart, of North Caro- lina, who had with him Col. O. H. Dockery, the last republican candidate for gubernatorial honors in the ‘ ‘Tar-heel” state; Maj. W. H. Malone, and Col. Thomas V. Long. They talked about local matters, they said, and were satisfied with the assurances given them by the President. There was ANOTHER NORTH CAROLINA DELEGATION around. It was headed by Representative Cheatham, the only colored man elected be- yond question to the Fifty-first Congress. The business on hand was the urging of meee R. E. Young’s appointment as collector of internal revenne for the eastern district of North Carolina. The major isa middle-aged white man of prepossessing ap- pearance, and after Mr. Cheatham ha@con- cluded his eulogy of him Mr. Jas. H. Young, a colored leader, added a few compliments of his own, The major also said something in the major’s behalf. ‘The other Congressmen who ca..’ were Representatives Wilber, Wilson (Kentucky), Posey and bed Ce Secretary Noble acted as escort for ex-Secre- tary of War McCreary. They chatted with the Président for some time, but the object of their visit was a purely social one. —— A COLORED OFFICIAL. The New Recorder of the General Land Office will Take Charge in a Month. Rey. James Townsend, the newly-appointed recorder of the general land office, came to the department to-day and qualified. He asked for a leave of absence for a month to settle up his private affairs, which Secretary Noble granted. He will return to his home in In- diana, Before leaving the department he visited the division of which he is now chief. At his request he was shown through the rooms, but no general introductions were made. A number of the ladies and other employes, how- ever, came up to him as he passed through the rooms and were introduced to their new chief. He made a favorable im- pression on all whomet him. Mr. Townsend 18 rather light in complexion and has silky hair. He is about forty-five years of age, has a genteel manner, and is pleasant and agreeable. It seemed to be the opinion of the officials who met him that any feeling that might have been excited by the fact that he is a colored man will be modified by his appearance and intelligence. ‘The sal- ary of the place is $2,000 and the work of the division comprises the signing and recording of land patents, There are some 35 ladies in the division, a Under the Shadow of the Gallows. When the relatives of Nelson Colbert, sen- tenced to be hung to-morrow, took leave of him at the jail aboué noon, a number of;fithem were visibly affected. The prisoner was very cheerful and showed no signs of emotion and expressed a hope of meeting them ina better land. His sweetheart was among the visitors and it is understood that he has eft his watch to her, ‘The Rev. Mr. Wells requested that no other Visitors should be permitted to see the prisoner as he desired to spend the balance of his time in religious pct on ——~-—___ Postmasters have been appointed in Mary land as follows: N.

A Minister to Turkey and Several Con- suls on the List. The President made the following appoint- ments to-day: Solomon Hirsch, of Oregon, to be envoy ex- traordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to Turkey. Clark E. Carr, of Illinois, to be minister resi- dent and consul-general of the United States to Denmark. Henry W. Severance, of California, to be ee of the United States at Hon- olulu. John Jarrett, of Pennsylvania, to be consul of the United States at Birmingham. Thomas H. Sherman, of the District of Co- lumbia, to be consul of the United States at Liverpool. INCREASED WATER SUPPLY. Preliminary Work for Laying the Big Main Well Under Way. The work of increasing the water supply of the city, althongh not yet actually begun, is in a fair way. The contract for hauling the iron pipes from the various places of delivery to the line of the trenches has been awarded to Springman Bros. The specifications for build- ing the truss by which to carry the main across Rock Creek have been prepared and bids will be opened in a few days. Col. Wilson has made a requisition on the War department for permission to award a contract for opening the trenches, and when this is accomplished all of the preliminary work will have been completed. Word is received from the Camden and Glou- cester iron foundrys that work has been begun on the iron pipe, and from the MeNeill works that the construction of the special castings will be started in about ten days. Inspectors have been sent to these places, and it is quite aoe that the material will begin to come y June 1, the time specified in the contracts, TRENCHES TO BE OPENED IN SEPTEMBER. The work of opening the trenches will not be started untill the Ist of September, for it will be impossible to get a supply of pipe om hand sufficient to provide material to work on without interruption. In this way there will be none of those disagreeable delays that make opened ditches a bane to humanity. The 48-inch main will, as has already been stated in Tue Srak, start from the present dis- tributing reservoir, above Georgetown, going thence easterly to Rock creek at M street, where it will cross by means of an iron truss, Then it will go along M street to New Hamp- shire avenue, to R street, to 4th, where it will CONNECT WITH THE PRESENT 48-INCH MAIN from the reservoir, This line goes up New Jersey avenue and supplies water to the east- ern section by means of a 20-inch main, It has been decided, however, to replace this with a 30-inch pipe, starting from the corner of New Jersey avenue and north B street, striking straight across the Capitol grounds in a diago- nal line to East Capito! and 1st streets, from which point it will be carried along the north side of East Capitol street to Lincoln park. This main will connect with those already laid to the north and south, and there will be places left where new connections can be made im new directions. In this way the people of the Hill will be given one-half more water pos- sibilities, THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK. The Commission to Hold a Meeting Soon—The Problem of Location. The zoological park commission will, it is expected, hold a meeting soon at which some definite action may be taken toward settling the boundaries of the park. The commission has made a thorough canvass of the situation and got prices fixed by nearly all the owners within the limits prescribed by the law for the location of the park. Some of the owners have never replied to the request of the commission tofixa price for their property. With few excep- tions, it is stated, the amounts named are more than the commission feels justified in paying, and in many cases the prices asked are so hig] as to be out of the question, as the appropria- tion is limited. The commission has desired and endeavored to purchase ground by agree- ment with owners. Some owners believing that they will fare better in this way than if they: wait for condemnation proceedings have made offers which may be accepted. It is not improbable that a portion of the ground needed may be purchase “2 agreement and a ortion by condemnation. The park must be Tscaten is the tock! oceak valley, somewhere between Massachusetts avenue extended and the sailitary road running west from Bright- wood. The map and plan of the park, originally made simply to form a basis of the talk before Congress, covered an area extending from the Woodley Lane road to the Klingle road. There are at least three different areas within the limits fixed by Congress whose topography make them desirable for park purposes, The members of the commission have been inclined to locate the grounds as near the city as the appropriation and the price of ground will per- mit. One of the three sites considered desira- ble lies around Pierce’s mill, another is the one referred to as having been mapped experi- mentally, and another one lies between the two, including parts of each.

The New Minister to Russia Ex- pires Suddenly. BIG WHISKY SWINDLE IN CHICAGO. => JOHN MORLEY’S GREAT SPEECH. He Defines Distinctly what the Lib- erals Want to Do. Special Cable Dispatch to Tak EvENING STAR. Loxpox, May 16.—John Morley made the finest speech last night which has been de- livered this year. He sounded more distinctly than before the social note of the liberal pro- gram, and defined what liberals want to do. He said “We shall not make the world over again in a day, we shall not turn this London purga- tory into a paradise perhaps in your lifetime or in mine, but we can go on with the work by making beginnings and by trying experiments in new directions. We want to give those who plow the ground and who in the sweat of their | brow sow the seed a rather handsome share in the sheaves when they are reaped. We want | that those who weave the garments should not themselves go cold.” Morley is proclaimed Bright's successor, the heir to Elijah’s mantle. THE PARNELL COMMISSION is drawing along, and the opinion is general that the 7imes has proved nothing save that Parnell, when dazed with headache thought he had once misled the house of commons. The liberals have somewhat recovered from the shock caused by his avowal and the tories re- gard it as their chief capital at the elections. Curiously, the lord chief jastice sitting in ap- peal on the claim of women. to a right to sit in the county council, now being heard, has brought a similar charge against the govern- ment’s master of the rolls. He said that as much as possible is enacted by way of refer- ence and incorporation, in order that the mat- ter may be got through the house without de- bate. The lord chief justice that is says this is done in order deliberately to mislead the house of commons. The Church Against Gambling. Special Cable Disvatch to Tz EVENING STAR. Lospvox, May 16.—The committee of convo- cation’s report is strongly against betting and gambling, and lays down emphatically that it was immoral in principle for a Christian man to seek his livelihood or the increase of his es- tate by means of umproductive labor from which no protit accrued to the common weal, and by which the winner rendered no equiva- | lent to the man whose money he received. They recommend spirituiil measures and their maintenance by captaim; of passenger ships and by railroad carriage, and that the legisla- tive authorities deal with the present mischief in the same spirit which leads parliament to suppress lotteri a eres Miss Hope Glenti’s Marriage.

The Poorest Kind of Stuff Immediately Transferred Into the Best Liquor. BOW A CLEVER YOUNG MAN HAS OPERATED IN CRICAGO—EXTENSIVE DEALERS WERE ROPED IN AND A LABORATORY WAS TO BE BUILT— HOW A DETECTIVE GOT ON TO KIS GAME. Cutcaco, May 16.—One of the biggest swin- dies of the year has just been brought to light. Western liquor men have been mulcted to the tune of $300,000, anda bright young chemist named Camp is now living m luxury far away. Mr. John Archibald Camp came to Chicago fif- teen months ago and put up at the Cosmopol- itan hotel. Among his effects were two large trunks and a smail refrigerator. He scemed te have plenty of money, and it was noticed that the wholesale liquor dealers were among his Visitors. Mr. Camp claimed to have discov- ered a compound which, when mixed with new whisky, would give it the odor, taste and ap- arance of from 4 to 6-year-old high wine. Under his manipulation the poorest quality of “wet goods” became “xmooth,” and the entire process was exemplified IN THE PRESENCE OF THE vrcTIM. Mr. Camp wished to establish a stock com- pany with a paid-up capital of $1,000,000. The profits would be enormous. He refused to di- vulge what the compound he used consisted of, e jients were kuown only to him. He managed to rope in many victims and finally rented an office in the Etua block, at Jacksom and Clark streets, where for several weeks he conducted his business. In his room was the refrigerator referred to. The victim would be given a bottle, told to go out and it filled with a poor quality of whisky and return. When this had been done Mr. Camp would pour out one-half of it, put in a teaspoonful of his compound, fill the bottle with water, and then place it in the ref erator. All this was done with the victim carefully observing every move. He looked into the ice-box and saw that it was empty save the bottle just placed in it. Then Mr. Camp would close the lid, and in five or ten minutes would raise it and there was what appeared to be the same bottle filled with liquor which withstood every test applied to rare, old high wines. IT WAS WONDERFUL. Whisky which could be purchased at 21.00 per ne six Years old and worth €8 per gallon, The sugar refining process dwindled into insi cance compared with Mr. Camp's schenm Many prominent dealers invested, and plans were drawn up for the erection of ators.

Not long since the detective entered Mr. Camp's while he was asleep and found there WHAT LOOKED LIKE A TIN ARMOR. It would reach from the waist to the arm-pits, At the bottom was a small faucet.

It 1s also stated that the enterprising young man has sold more than £300,000 worth of stock in Cincinnati, St. Louis, Kansas City and Chi- cago. ‘The detective reported his discovery to his employers, and they to the Federal authorities Camp. however, must have got a tip, for be appeared, leaving his appar..tas behind, wk itis now at the Cosmopolitan, M. nent saloon-keepers and wh admitting that ched by a party who ge’ whisky, denied that scheme. they had invested in t — A THEATER BURNED. Lewis Morrison and His Company Lose their Entire Wardrobe. Worcsster, Mass.. May 16.—The Worcester theater was discovered tobe on fire shortly after 3o’clock this morning and was totaliy destroyed. The fire apparently started in the rear of the building, on or near the stage. Ex- plosions followed cach other in rapid succes- sion and in a short time the rear wail began to fall. The Bay State hotel stands in close prox- imity and ite rear wall was blistered and was saved from catching fire only bythe prompt appearance and work of the firemen. Guests and servants in the hotel were wild with alarm, and many guests scized their personal luggage and sought the street. When the walls of the theater began to fell Foreman F. G. Burbank, of hose No. 6, was hit by a piece of falling cor- nice and BADLY CUT ON THE HEAD. Shortly after 3:30 the building was a roaring furnace, and the blaze mounted high in the air, A second alarm called firemen from the more distant stations. Until long after 4 o'clock the flames roared and seethed within the crumbling walls. Most of the front walls remain standing. ‘Faust’ was played last night by Lewis Morrison and his company, and they were to play again to-night. They lose everything. Mr. Morrison places his and the company’s loss at $11,000, including properties, costumes, and four calcium-light tanks. Mr. Morrison's entire legitimate wardrobe was im the theater. MISS MORRISON LOST COSTUMES worth $500; Mr. Belasco, 400, Mr. White and other members of the company in proportion. Manager Abraham seems not disheartened by the loss, and thinks he may be able to play in Holyoke Friday night. The probability, how- ever. is that all engagements for the season will have to be canceled. Speaking of the event, Manager Abraham said: *‘The fire can- not in any way be connected with the play, as the play was finished four hours before the fire broke out.” Mr. Abraham says, however, that he saw an employe of the theater smoking a cigarette in a proscenium box, and warned him, saying that that was what burned Pillott’s opera house, Houston, Tex., a few days ago. The Music Hall association, which owned the building. is insured for 220,000, divided among these companies: National, of Hartford; Fire Association, of Philadelphia; German, of New York; Merchants’, of Providens — of London, $2,000 each; Commercial-Union, 2,500 each.
