New Mrxister From GuatemaLa.—The State department is informed by the Guatemalan consul-general at New York that Mr. Fernando Cruz has been appointed minister from Guate- mala to the United States. Tue Ayxvar Reunion of the Society of the Army of the Potomac will be held at Orange, N.J., June 12 and 13, President Harrison is expected to attend. Secretary Winpom is probably the most crowded man in the cabinet. Day after day the office-seekers and their friends swarm in upon him. and his room frequently contains forty or more men waiting for a word in his ear. The result has been to delay the natural advance of public business—including the satis- tying of the hungry—to a considerable extent, and the Secretary is in the habit of telling those who grumble at the slow grinding of the mill that “if they don’t give the jury a chance to retire they will never geta verdict.” Satur- day was a little too much for the Secretary's patience, and he has given intimation that he will hereafter deny himself to all callers on Tuesday of each week until further notice, in order to give proper attention to important matters pending before the department, Tae Cave p’ ALENz Misstos.—The Presi- dent has signed a patent for the Cevur d’ Alene mission claim in Idaho, containing 640 acres, drawn in the name of Jos. M. Calaldo, superior general of the Rocky mountain missions of the Jesuit order. The mission is located at the head of navigation on the Cour d’ Alene river. The case has been pending in the general land office for ten years. ‘Tre Prestpent accompanied his private sec- retary, Mr. Halford, to church yesterday morn- ing and occupied a seat in the latter's pew at Foundry church. The sermon was delivered by Rev. John R. Lanahan, of Baltimore, who was the pastor of the church when President Hayes was an attendant, The ladies’ of the Presi- dent's family occupied the pew in the Church of the Covenant, “Scnoor Srctions.”—The Secretary of the Interior has directed the land officials in Okla- homa not to permit entries to be made on what in official language, are termed ‘‘school sec- tions,” Nava Orpers.—Ensign W. R. Shoemaker has been ordered to the receiving ship Vermont; Ensign Hugh Rodman, to the hydrographic office; Passed Assistant Surgeon L. G. Heve- berger has been detached from the Thetis and ordered to the Iroquois. APPRAISEMENT OF Navat Vesseis.—The inspection board, of which Rear Admiral Jouett is president, has been ordered to the New York navy-yard and the League Island yard, for the Pt TpoCe of making an Gg heage of the value of all naval vessels at those places. This is in pursuance of the system jituted of neening @ correct account of all public property un the control of the Navy Department. The accounts of this bropert are kept in the bureau of provision and g, and after the original cost and appraised value of each vessel are ascertained an account will be kept of all expeniitures made on them until they are finally disposed of. The Baroness Von Sucrow, nee Miss Consta- ble, of Baltimore, and her husband have sepa- rated for good. PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS. Indian Agents, Receivers of Public Moneys, Etc. The President made the following appoint- ments to-day: To be receivers of public moneys: Thos. D. Bumgarner, of Arkansas, at Dardanelle, Ar! Henry C. Pickles, of Delaware, at Folsom, N. M.; Frank Lesnet, of New Mexico, at Roswell, N. M. To be registers of land offices: Wm. P. Alexander, of Colorado, at Del Norte, Col.; John H. Mills, of New Mexico, at Roswell, N. M. To be Indian agents: Jas. Blythe, of North Carolina, at the Eastern Cherokee agency in North Carolina, Jno. Fosher, of Wyoming ter- ritory, at the Shoshone agency in Wyoming ter- ritory. COMING ARMY CHANGES.- Contest for Adjutant-Generalship Be- tween Cols. Kelton and Whipple, Etc. The contest over the vacancy that will be created in the army next week by the retire- ment of Adjutant-General Drum on account of age is waxing hot and forms the main topic of army Officers’ gossip at present, It is generally conceded that the chances for the adjutant- generalship lie between Cols, Kelton and Whip- ple. The former is now on duty here as first assistant adjutant-general and the latter is at Governor's island, Although Col. Kelton is the younger man, he outranks Col. Whipple and 1s at present at the head of the list of as- sistant adjutants-general, and the usual course of army promotion would bring him to the fore, lly in view of the fact of his extended experience of late at the head of the corps in the absence of Gen Drum, PRECEDENTS. But there is a precedent in a somewhat similar case, which led to the selection of Gen. Baird as the head of the inspector's corps over Gen. Jones, who outranked him, although he was younger. On the other hand there is the case of Gen, Casey and Gen. Parke, in the contest for the position of chief of engineers. Casey was the younger man, but outranked Parke, owing to the change he made from the topo- graphical engineers to the engineer corps. Casey received the appointment. The hope of the army—or at least that part ofit located in Washington—generally inclines toward Col. Kelton, who is a great favorite. CAPTAINS WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE MAJORS, The retirement of Gen. Drum will cause the promotion of Lt.-Col. Ruggles to be colonel and Major H. ©. Corbin to be lieutenant-colo- nel, leaving a vacancy in the list of,assistants adjutant-general with the rank of major, for which there isa bitter strife among a large number of captains, Following area few of the names of those who have applied for the place: Capts.

THE NEW COMM The statement that the new Commissioners would take charge of the District to-day caused a flurry of excitement at the District buildiags this morning. Business during the morning hours was at a stand- still and the clerks wandered aimlessly through the building, now and then stopping before the Commissioners’ room and peering cautiously in. The retiring Commissioners made their appearance at the usual hour and went to work as if nothing was going to happen. Auditor Petty received information that the new Com- missioners would shortly be down, and every- thing was put in readiness to receive them, HOW THEY WERE RECEIVED, It was nearly noon when Messrs. Douglass and Hine drove up in the latter’s carriage, and before any one in thé building had a chance to recognize them they were in the Commission- ers’ room. Mr. Hine went immediately up to Mr. Wheatley, while Mr. Douglass walked into Mr. Webb’s room. Mr. Wheatiey was sign- ing checks at the time, but dropped his pen when he saw Mr. Hine. After the two had shaken hands they adjourned to Mr. Webb's room. Mr. Webb came forward, and addressing the two new Commission- ers said: “Gentlemen, we have everything ready for you.” Quite a crowd of ‘clerks had _gath in the room by this time and Mr. Webb suggested that they adjourn to the board room which they did. Major Raymond was sent for and introduced, and the quintette had a pleasant chat for some time. The workings of the District were discussed together with some important unfinished busi- ness, When the new Commissioners emerged from the board room they found the hall crowded with friends and clerks anxious to offer congratulations. The new Commissioners were forced to halt, and for over half an hour held an impromptu reception, TO TAKE CHARGE TO-MORROW. Mr. Douglas, in answer to a question from a Srakreporter, said thatit was their intention to take charge to-morrow at noon, provided their bonds (which were now at the Treasury) were allright. He said that he didn’t antici- pate much trouble in getting into the run of things, and thathe thought everything would be in good running order in about a week. Mr. Hine. when spoken to by Tue Star’s representative, said that he would be ready to assume control of his share of the office by to- morrow noon. When asked whether there would be any changes in the personnel of the olfice he said that he could not tell; that it was a subject to which he had paid little attention. After the visitors had gone Mr. Wheatley came into the room and satd: “‘We have met the enemy and we are theirs.” Mr. Webb, however,was not in as pleasant a state of mind, and he looked as if he wished the whole thing was over with, —_.——_ ; Visitors to West Point.

Loxpox, May 20.—The British caterers to the inner man who have secured privileges at the Paris exposition are stricken with dismay at the unlooked for opposition of the prefect of police of that city to the employment of female attendants at the cafes, brasseries there. The British barmaid has long been a standard attraction at the “publics” of her native land and an object of ado: to the British swell of loud tendencies, and this class of visitors will feel sadly chargined that there may be no opportunity to contrast the charms of the haughty native dispenser of bitter beer or sherry with the Hebes of other It is understood, however, that the movement is not due to the pref afflicted with a sudden spasm of morality which might arouse grave doubts as to his sanity, but to the representatives of the power- ful male waiters’ union.

THE OOMTE DE PARIS has laid before the London police authorities letters from confidential friends in France to the effect that police agents have already been REET in Paris to attend the meeting of the Furr, Micn., May 20.—The large stock stables of the Hon. William Hamilton, on the Lapeer road, two mile s southeast of this city, were struck by lightning yesterday afternoon, and in a few seconds half a dozen buildings were in flames. The shock prostrated Mrs. John Nogett, wife of the tenant, and fears are entertained for her life.

There is talk of foul play as he is known to have had a bank book with him in which he was credited with over 10,000, de in some Albany bank. He had been drinkii for some time before his disappearance and it is feared that sharpers have got hold of him, persuaded him to draw some of the money, and, knowing he had threatened suicide, made away with him, thinking suspicion would not attach to them.

Cutcaco, May 20.—A dispatch from Boston stating that at its annual meeting the American Baptist Educational society had decided to es- tablish an institution of learning in Chicago and that $650,000 of the £1,000,000 proposed had already been subscribed has aroused the liveliest interest among the Chicago Baptists, Mr. Rockefeller is a reticent man,” said the Rev. H. D. Taylor, of the Englewood Baptist church. h his gift is a generous one, it that he will make the amount something like $3,000,000 before he gets through. I sup) it is indiscreet to say that in University Place is the most favorably looked on by the committee, as it would likely increase the price. Since the Baptist people lost that property, which was bequeathed them by Stephen A. Douglas, they have felt a desire to regain possession of it. It is now in the hands of the Home Insurance company and is bound up some way by litigation. With this present donation, and, if a fair price is asked, I think the committee will take back their old ground and on it erect the new uuiversity.” — A NARROW ESCAPE. The Daughter of W. J. Arkell and Artist Gillam Badly Burned. Caxasonanir, May 20.—The Arkell residence in this village was again baptized with fire yes- terday, and a most remarkable escape from a terrible death was had by Miss Margherita, the four-year-old daughter of W. J. Arkell, of The Jwige and Frank Leslie's Tlustrated Newspaper. Soon after dinner a grandson of Senator Arkell and little Margherita were in the upper portion of the Senator's home when the lad endeavored to use wax in sealing an im- aginary letter. The little fellow obtained a candie, lighted it, and the two children began burning the wax, which dropped while in flames to the floor. A window was open, and it is presumed that « small drop was blown on Margherita’s dress. In a moment the child was a mass of flame. She ran screaming into the hall, where she was met by Artist Bernard Gillam of the Judge, who, with rnmarkable presence of mind, seized the child, threw her to the floor, grabbed « rug, instantly wrapping itabout her and subduing the flames. The child is badly burned about the body, but the doctors agree that she is not dangerously burt, Mr. Gillam’s enffs were burned from his wrists, his hair singed, and his hands horribly disfig- ured. He will be able to resume his labors the latter part of this week.
