A NEW POSTMASTER, The President Nominates Heory Sher- wood to Succeed Mr. Ross. PROMOTED TO THE PLACE OF PRINCIPAL AFTER SERVIXG EIGHT YEARS AS ASSISTANT—A SKETCH OF THE NOMINEE—THE NEWS AT THE CITY POST OFFICE. The President today sent the following nom- ination to the Senate: Henry Sherwood to be postmaster at Washington, D. C., vice John W. Ross, resigned. Capt. Sherwood, the nominee, is well known in Washington, and especially in post office cir- cles, He was born in Avon, N.Y., February 22, is4. and ‘having been born on Washington's birthday jocosely re- marke of himself that he cannot tell a lie. He moved to Michigan in 1860, enlisted in com- pany C. fourth Michigan cavulry, July, 1862, and participated in all the attles of the army of the Cumberiand. “He was severely wounded at Lattimer’s Mills, Ga., and wears a cork leg as SRY SHERWOOD, the result. Capt. Sherwood has been in the military and civil service of the government for twenty- eight years, twelve years iu the postal service. He was postmaster of the House of Represent- atives for four years, When Mr. Conger was appointed postmaster of Wasi ington HA chose Capt. Sherwood hi assistant. His experience in postal affairs and skill in administration were so [Sem that Mr. Ross, when appointed under a lemocratic administration, invited Capt. Sher- wood to remain in the position of assistant, and thus it happened that Capt. Sherwood has been eight years in that office under both re- publican and democratic administrations, Frequently the assistant has to perform the duties and assume the responsibilities of post- master, so Capt. Sherwood will not feel at all strange in his new offic During his residenco of a quarter of acentury he has madea large number of friends, and is well known both in Grand Army and Masonic circles. He has made his home for some years on East Capitol street near Lincoln Park. His wife isa daughter of the late James F. Harvey. who was for many years a well-known undertaker. Capt. Sherwood’s elevation to the office of postmaster leaves a vacancy in the office of assistant postmaster, HAPPINESS AT THE CITY POST OFFICE. No other appointment that could have been made would have given half as much satisfac- tion at the city post office as does that of Mr. Sherwood, From top to bottom every man in the local service is a friend of the man who for years has filled the chair of assistant postmas- ier and who has today gone upa peg. To judge from the expressions of satisfaction that are tobe heard atthe office every man and woman there is as pleased as Mr. Sherwood himself could possibly be. THE FIRST NEWs. The first intimation that Capt. Sherwood or any one else had that Mr. Ross had been given a successor was a telephone message came over the line about 1:30 o'clock. The captain seemed to bear up under the new dispensation quite as well as could be expected. He may have been sur- prised. but he managed to keep up like a man and a soldier. The telephone message was not far in ad- vance of the front line of the calling brigade, for before two o'clock they were coming in singly and in groups and congratulations were the order of the day. As svon as the news spread through the office the clerks in the various diyisions came in to pay their respects to their new chief. They have been under him, many of them for years, aud they know him as he knows them and there could be no doubt about the sincerity of their good wishes. One of the chiefs ot. div Star reporter this afternoon: “If there is one man who could eB into Mr. Ross’ position and fill it and kecp things mov- ing smoothly and to the entire satisfac- tion of the people in the office as well as throughout the city, Herry Sherwood is that man, and I know of no other.” Another one said to the reporter: ‘The ap- pointment is simply the best that could pos- sibly have been made, That is all there is about it.” And so it went, nothing but satis- faction and pleasure. A TALK WITH THE XEW POSTMASTER, Capt, Sherwood was holding an impromptu reception when Tue Stan reporter called in his room this afternoon, but he managed to clear himself of his visitors for a few moments. “Really I don’t know just what to say under the circumstances,” said the captain in an- swer to the reporter's question. “It goes without saying that I intend to run this office to the very best of my ability, and if I fail to give satisfaction it will not be for lack of trying. I have not had time yet to think much about it, but I can say now that it is not likely that I will make much, if any, change in the make-up or methods of the office. The office is under the civil service law and during my term as assistant postmaster I have drawn about 400 clerks from the civil service lists. Many of them were young when they came aud I have seen them grow up into hard working. eflicient clerks, “There are very few positions in the office that do notcome under that law and even if there were more I would not think of making any particular changes. The office was run- umg so smoothly and well under Mr. Ross’ care that it would be folly to make any great up- heaval. “Lagree fully with the opinion that Mr. Ross expressed in last night's Star that the Ast of October would be the best time for a transfer of the office from one postmastor to another. That is the first day of the quarter as well as of the month, and it would simplify matters greatiy for the cleri- cal force here if the exchange were made then. ‘That date would suit me very well if nothing else hinders. “And last, but perhaps not least, I can say for the benefit of would-be office seekers that Talready have my own successor as assistant postmaster picked out, Just who he is I do not, of course, care to say at present, but I have my eye on the man.” Just ‘then Commissioner Hine and Capt. Rossell came in to see the new Commissioner. Mr. Ross was not in, so Capt Sherwood ex- cused himself to step out to see the new = and to receive their hearty congratu- tions. ion said to a —--___ THE INDIANA NOMINATIONS, Milton Trussler Nominated for Repub- lican Secretary of State.

The Hatfieldis and McCoys Said to Have Agreed to Live in Peace. ‘The Hatfied-McCoy feud is said to be at an end, After partaking in the butchery of all the men they could kill, after living as outlaws with prices on their heads, defying arrest and courting meetings with their enemies, after secing their young mm shot down and their old ones murdered, each side has at last agreed on peace. Two men were seen in the streets of Huntingdon, W.Va, Thursday conversing together in @ friendly manner. One was a brother-in-law of the old man McCoy, the other ason-in-law of Anse Hatfield. They said that by common consent the feud would be allowed to cease. Both fagtions have gone back to work and are living honest lives.

The special House committee investigating the charges against Commissioner Raum re- sumed work today by calling Mr. Taber. Mr. Lemon's chief clerk, to the stand, who ex- plained the character of the thirty test slips which had been submitted to the commissioner by Mr. Lemon as a basis for his request that the completed-slip system bo adopted, Mr. Cooper asked the witness if during Com- missioner Tanner's administration witness had not taken Geo. B. Squires, Commissioner Tan- ion Office ner’s private secretary, and other P employes up the river and made * ane" The chairman was disposed to rule out the question as not pertinent to the investigation. ‘A WORDY WAR. There was a sharp conflict of words between Mr. Cooper and Judge Wilson, the former in- sisting that Mr. Lemon had admitted that he had been disbarred for:forgery. Judge Wilson and all the republican members denied that there was such evidence. Mr. Cooper—He forged Colfax’s name to his certificate. The chairman—There was no forgery. Can- nota gentleman refer to you asa member of Congress for recommendation? Judge Wilson to Mr. Cooper—You said a moment ago that Mr. Lemon admitted that he was disbarred for forgery. Mr. Cooper—I did say so; that is my recol- lection of bistestimony. The record will show. Mr. Wilson (excitedly)—Then yon ought to be sent toa lunatic asylum for having no memory. Mr. Cooper—Oh, I was an attorney once ee und know what it is to get worked up. . Wilson—You are standing here as a vol- unteer attorney. You must know that Mr. Lemon never admitted ee of that kin You say you are provoked to do this thin; The fact is that you have either be yourself hunting up tho record of Mi mon for twenty years past, and the life of Mr. Taber, or some officious person, has been putting it in your mind to lay before the com- mittee, I say it is an outrage and should not be permitted. Asa membor of as an attorney in this case you hay indulge in any such thing. Mr. Cooper—I acknowledge your right to express your opinion, but I refer to testimony and ask for the reading of the record. If there is objection I will leave out the word “forgery,” Chairman Merrill stopped further dis¢uesi The witness said: ‘If Mr. Cooper withdra\ his charge I am satisfied. Thore was no wi: supper up the river ina boat. We hada party one Sunday, taking breakfast at C: John's Bridge and dinner at Great Falla.” Mr. Cooper—Was it not immediately after that Squires was found stamping Lemon's pre- pared cases at night?” Witnes: heard something about that. but it had no reference to a stag party where each man paid his own score. Mr. Cooper—Well, for that Mr. Tanner dis- charged him, didn’t he? The chairman—We cannot go into that, The witness is discharged, Chairman Morrill next proceeded to pass upon the question raised as to the relevancy of the testimony offered yesterday by Mr. Cooper relating to the character of the refrigerator company’s stock and ruled it ont. Mr. Lewis, the minority member, entered his protest against the narrow limitation, hold- ing that the character of the stock was one of the counts of the indictment, but bya party Vote the chairman's ruling was sustained. A recess was then taken. AFTER RECESS, When the committeo reassembled the chair- man laid before it a telegram from F. E. Smith, the patentee of the Universal refrigerator, de- manding the privilege of appearing on the stand to answer the charges made aguinst him, By the direction of the committee the chair- man declined the request, as it had been de- cided not to go into that branch of the testi- mony. Assistant Chief Bryant of the Pension Office was the next witness and was examined as to the completed files order. ‘Tbe 35,000 cages put on the completed files by the office, he said, had been selected without partiality. TWO BIG ANCHORS, The Sign of the Navy Department Hoisted Up Over the Door. The symbolic decorations of the State, War and Navy building are about completed. This morning ®& couple of huge anchors were hoisted into position on the horizontal stone tablets of the oast porticoin order to mark the whereabouts of the men who at- tend to the nautical affairs of the jovernment, They were made in 1864 at the Washington navy yard and weigh about 2,000 ounds each, It is the intention of hief Engineer Williamson. the superin- tendent of the building, under whose di- rection they were procured from the Nor- folk navy yard, to have them bronze and set up inaslanting position. The stock will be set down vertically and thus the great mass of iron will be supported as itis when thrown from a ship’s deck before there is any strain on the cable.

An Appropriation Needed to Make the “ Change of Sitc, Secretary Proctor, as chairman of the Lafay ette monument commission, today sent a lotter to Congress asking that an appropriation of 25,000 be mede at the present session to enable the commission to move from Lafay- ette square so much of the monu- ment as is now set in that square, to prepare ® foundation at the new location and to improve the grounds about the monu- ment. The new site, as stated in yesterday's Stam, ia situated in the public reservation where Pennsylvania avenue turns into 15th street just south of the Treasury Department. STORMY TIME IN THE HOUSE. The Filibustering Begins Early and Keeps Up Late. The republicans were ready to give Mr. Reed ® rousing welcome this morning. A pine tree with a flag on the topmost bough and a set floral piece with the word “Business” written in immortelles on a blue field were placed on the Speaker's desk, and here and there the corner of an American fing could be seen sticking from under a member's desk. But all this preparation was followed by disappoint- ment, Mr. Reed came to the Capitol, but when the House met Mr. Burrows was in the chair and at 2o’clock the Speaker had not yet ap- peared in the hall. Is was a few moments before 2 o'clock before the reading of the journal of the House was begun. The order that it be read was the signal for a storm, which lasted about fiw minutes, Mr. O’Farrall of Virginia demanded recogni- tion of the Speaker pro tem. and declared that the journal ought not to be read in the absence ofa quorum, Mr.Burrows( Speaker pro tem)eaid that on the last preceding call at which a quo- rum was necessary there had been a quorum present and that it was in order now to read the journal. He thereupon ordered the clerk to read tho journal. ir. O’Ferrall demanded that be should be heard, and for awhile there was a contest of vocal power between the reading clerk and the Virginia Congressman, who was very indignant, declaring that no quorum had been disclosed by the roll cail and that there was no announcement of the names of members counted to make a quorum, Mr. Reed's method of cutting off —— having so recently been approved by his con- stituents. yMr. Burrows followed the same method with extraordinary firmness. Mr. Crisp and Mr, Breckinridge joined Mr. O'Ferrail in his protest. Would Not Work With Negroes, There was a small strike today among the paviors at work on the Columbia street railroad line on H_ street. There were twelve white paviors employed on the work and paid at the rate of $2 a day. Today only three of them were at work and the plaees of the others had been taken by colored men. According to the statements of the men two of thom were discharged last night because they rofused to work withnegroes. The other seven quit this morning because, as they state, they would not work with ne- groes who were employed at a low rate of wages. id they had asked the company for 88a day, which is 25cents less than the regular wages paid by the District, Instead of advancing their weges, the men stated, the railroad company had put colored men at work at $1.50 and less a day, AERO 0h eset Set ANACOSTIA, Gnaxp Crostxo Temprraxce Ratry.—The temperance folks have had good meetings this week and will close the local campaign with a grand rally tonight, after which they will fold their tents like the Arabs and as silently steal away.

A FLURRT OX ACOOUNT OF THE PROPOSITION TO HAVE TRE NEW TARIFF GO INTO EFFECT 0c- TOBER 1—ITs PROBABLE EFFRCT ON FINANCES— WAY THE MONEY MARKET Was TIORT. There is @ considerable flurry among the business men in New York on account of the Proposition to put the new tariff law into effect on the Ist of October. There is not the least probability that the House will extend the time as the anxiety of the republicans of the ays and means committee is to make the new duties applicable to the goods coming in for the fall and winter trade, and to prevent importers from anticipating the incrensed duties by making immense importations be- fore the goes into effect. WY THE ROME MARKET WAS Tramr. The importations during June and July have exceeded those of corresponding months in any past year, importers laying out immense sums of money in goods in anticipation of the increase of duties. a result of so much money being sent abroad in this manner the money market has been rather tight. A very large amount of imports of all sorts are now in bond in the government warehouses. Such of these as have been put in hand since the Ist of August will have to be taken out be- fore the Ist of October or they will be subject to the increased duties provided in the McKin- ley bill. There appears to be danger that # sudden demand for money to get these goods out of bonds within the next two weeks may make a great stringency in the money market. Private mformation from New York indicates that the importers are in a great state of ‘uneasiness in consequence, THE FAR-SIGHTED POLICY OF MR WINDOM, however. in anticipating the large demand for money at this time will in all probability pre- vent avery heavy strain. Letters from the highest financial authorities commend the Secre- tary’s policy and say thatthe anticipation of in- terest on the 4 per cent bonds and the purchase of 4}¢ per cent with mterest to date of maturity will meet all the demands of business and provent a sitive stringency in the market. Twehty- four million dollars, the interest on the 4 per cent bonds for the past quarter, and anticipated payment of interest for the rest of the year, 1s released by the department today. Forty mil- lion of 414 per cents have already been called, making in all $64,000,000 that have been re- leased since the 2ist of August. By carrying out this wise policy Secretary Windom has given all the relief to the business interests that there is any probability wili be needed. COLORED BAPTISTS.
