Loxpox, March 11.—When Lord Shrewsbury, annoyed at the receipt of a telegram from Lord Lonsdale upbraiding him for failing to appear for the novel driving match, about which so much has been said, withdrow entirely from the contest Lord —_ Lonsdale decided to drive over the course alone. He (id so today and covered the twenty miles in in 56 minutes 55 45 seconds. The stakes, which had been forfeited by Lord Shrews- bury’s withdrawal from the match, had been previously handed over to charitable institu- tions by Lord Lonsdale. The conditions of the match, it will be re- membered, were that the two lords should drive one horse each for five miles; two horses each for the next five miles: four horses each for the third five milos, and finally ride and drive two horses each in harness, postilion fashion, for the last five miles of the twenty miles course. Lord Lonsdale covered the first half of the course in twenty-six minutes. He lost twenty weconds owing to the fact that the road was blocked with snow. At the finish, which was accomplished in eplendid style, Lord Lons- dale received an ovation from his friends and trom the crowd of people who had gathered to see him accomplish his novel feat. pesto ada MUST PROTECT THE PEACEFUL.

He said the strike had assumed a serious ax The strikers were committing depredations and assaulting men who had rei to join them and also as saulting members of the latter's families. Non- union cloakmakers, he said, must be protected against any interference on the part of the strikers. Cloakmakers employed by firms in the city who take work to their homes will be protected by the police, and the captains were told to afford these people all necessary protec- tion. Inspector Byrnes said any outbreak on the part of the strikers would be promptly checked. rivets ay A SHORT-LIVED SPURT. Extreme Dultness in the Stock Market— Prices Stagnant. New York, March 11.—The opening of the stock market this morning was marked by the most extreme dullness, which was intensified as the hour wore along, and while there was some approach to animation in St. Paul, Lacka- wanna, Lonisvilleand Burlington the trading in those stocks was largely decreased from that of the last few days.

As yet the Postmaster General has given no intimation of what his course of action will be with reference to & home for the city post office while ‘the building across from Tue Stam office is in course of construc- tion. In answer to the advertisement call- ing for bids to furnish temporary quarters for the office four offers were received and opened at his office yester- day, as stated in yesterday's Stan. These four were as follows: The Cyclorama building, on Ohio avenue and 15th street, at 8,000 per an- num; 20,000 square feet of ground, with two-story building, opposite the Beltimore and Ohio railrond depot, of- fered at $9,500 per annum by Thomas W. Smith; ground at Northern. Liberty Market, with buildings, $15,000 per annum, offered by ‘Tyler & Rutherford; ground on G street be- tween 6th and 7th streets northwest, with 20,- 900 feet of ground, offered by F. B. Conger, agent, at 20 to 40 cents per square foot. Mr. Smith was the only one who made any remarks when the bids were opened. He explained his plans, which comtemplate the erection of a new building. One advantage of the location ix its proximity to one of the ts. On the other hand its dis- tare from the business center of the city is fully as great as that of the Cyclorama build- ing from the depots. Mr. Smith guarantees to have his building ready for occupancy by the first of July. mg 18 to be erected on G y e for the use of offices and several burenus of the goverment. It is pro- oxed to lease the first floor and part of the asetment to the city post office at a costof about $10,000 n year. ‘This will give probably as much room as is needed, and in a new build- ing for loss than it would cost to stay where the office now is. | One thing is certain—the office must move. The owners of the present office did not make 8 bid and do not seem at all anxious whether or not they keep their present tenant. If the oftice stayw they will raise the rent after the close of this fiscal year and besides it will be necessary to make additions, for the building is already’ overcrowded. ‘This wonld bring the rental up in the neighborhood of $15,000 a year—more than for the G street propert; Postmaster Sherwood today received a letter of suggestion.

ORDWAY'S LETTER IXPORMIXG THE TWO COMMANDERS OF THE FACT—rxsurFicrexcr OF CONGRESSIONAL APPROPRIATIONS TUE CAUSE— SOME SHARP CRITICISM OF THIS ACTION. But few people are aware of the fact that Congress practically legislated two battalions of the District National Guard out of existence, but the time has come when concealment is neither politic nor possible. So long as there temained a probability of averting the action of the Senate and House the matter was kept perfectly quiet, but after a dozen plans dad been formulated and thrown aside as worthless Gen. Ordway was brought face to face with a situation which he had done everything in his power to avoid. At 6 o'clock on the ovening of Monday next there will be no such sev- enth and eighth battalion natural consequence the interest of Washington's col- ored population in the District National Guard will suffer material diminution. COMMUNICATIONS TO MAJORS FLEETWOOD AND REVELLS. Yosterday Gen. Ordway sent Maj. Fleetwood and Maj. Revells, commanding two bat- talions, communications, of which the follow- ing is a copy: Sir: It is with great regret that Iam compelled toinforffyou that the action of Congress com- Is and virtually directs me to muster your ttalion out of the service of the District Na~ tianal Guard. Congress not only failed to make the neces- Gary Appropriation for armory rents for the balance of this fiscal year, but also reduced the appropriation for next year so far below the imated and necessary amount that there is no alternative left me under the law but to dis- band the seventh and eighth battalions. This action was not taken by ignor- antly or inadvertently. By official written communication to the committee on appropria- tions (a copy of which I inclose herewith), I made detailed statements of ‘the whole matter, showing what the inevitable result must be if they persisted in making « reduction. “Follow- ing that communication I personally devoted much time and unceasing effort in endeavori to persuade the committeo to add the $2,% neceskary to continue the rental of the armo- ries of the seventh and eighth battalions and brought to bear on them every influence in my power tocommand. All efforts failed and the Feral leaves me without Saas in the mat- I trust that» future ese MAY Te] the injustice done and shall use my best eflorts to accomplish it. You will direct that muster rolls of the two companies of your battalion and of the field and staff be immediately prepared and forward them to these headquarters, so that they may be received on or before the 14th instant. ‘You will also direct the quartermaster of your battalion and the captains of your two coinpa- nies to deliver at these headquarters on the 16th instant, at such hour as may be most con- venient to them between 2 and 6 o'clock p.m., all quartermaster and ordnance property for which they are accountable to the United States. I have officially notified the owner of the Property that occupaucy and liability on the ‘THE COMMITTEE WERE WARNED. In two other places in that letter did Gen. Ordway place directly before the committee the fact that upon its action balanced the ex- it must be evident that the committee acted _ ty sonal time was given up to effort directed toward vation of the threatened s0 doing he conld secure a sufficient 1 - tion to pay all-dhe emory renta. To this the committee responded by aawing off all money | for the encampment and then neglected to pro | vide enough to defray the rental expenses. CONGRESS DID THIS. “Congress did this,” said Gen. Ordway toa Star reporter this morning. “All my effort before the appropriations committee was die rected to securing a sufficient appropriation for armory rents. I showed as clearly as was ible thata less sum than mny estimates must inevitably result in the disbanding of the seventh and eighth battalions.” | | “Could von not have disbanded two other | battalions?” H “No. ‘There are eight battalions in the brigade. ‘the first, second and third com- pose the first regiment: the fourth, fifth and | sixth compose the second regiment. The | seventh and eighth battalions have no regi- | mental organization and could, therefore. be | spared without in any way disturbing the regi- ments. The first and third buttalions— Washington Light Infantry and the Union Veteran Corpx—are the only battalions, in regi- ments, occupying individual armories, and no one could for a moment argue that com- mands be mustered out. That leaves for con- sideration the second, fourth, fifth and sixth battalions, located in the’ Center Market Armory. "Remember. there would be no ne- cessity for disbanding any of the bat- talions were it not that our cout had to be cut out of a certain and unstretchable piece of cloth. Suppose any two of the battal- ions at the Center Market Armory had been selected for the inevitable sncrifice, would the rent of the armory have been reduced? It could not be. We rent the whole armory, and it matters not to the proprictors whether are four or fourteen battalions occupying it. All the facts in the case were placed before the committees and theiraction [eft me without any discretion in the matter. Congress did it.” SOME GAUSTIC COMMENT. Gen. Ordway’s officiel notification to Majors Fleetwood and Revells was the cause of a great deal of heated comment among those interested in the twocolored battalions. One officer who has just resigned his commission talked with a umber of those ho, wear shoulder strape fn the seventh and eighth, andar a it he bronght to Tae Stax the following criticism quested ita publication: “Gen. Ordway has at last found a way to rid himself of his two negro battalions. It has been rumored for along time that the general was desirous of disarming the colored militie in order to appease the wrath of southern Con- gresamen, who objected to appropriations for the support of the militia on the ground that they would be used in part to maintaining me- gro troops. ihe qesstion now is, will the Georotary of War or the President permit this outrage. ‘The the sal- | haps Reppresentative Holman Says the Demo- ‘crate “Are Getting There” Rapidly. “Yes, Palmer is elected,” said Representa tive Holman of Indians, when a STAR reporter ‘asked him if he had heard the news. “That's a great victory and it means a great deal. \ Per- you may have noticed that we are getting there quite rapidly and jin 2 very satisfactory manner. Do I know Palmer? Oh, yes; very well, indeed. He's. good man, and just the kind of a good man we need. No; I didn't object to his elec- tion,” and the veteran objector swung on toan eastbound avenue car, taking with bim a fice wreathed in and partially obscured by @ wine Hoosier democratic emile. SENATOR RISCOCK NON-COMMITTAL. “I am not doing anything nor do I know of anything anybody else is doing that is worth talking about,” was Senator His- cock’s reply to Sran reporter's in- nity this afternoon. ‘“Tomoriow I leave for Tampa, Fla.. and L expect to remain there about three weeks, Fish for tarpon?

Respectfully yours, GENERAL ORDWAY'S EFFORTS. The amount of argument used by Gen. Ordway and wasted on the appropriation com- mittees ought to have been productive of good results and should at least have sufficed to prevent the abbreviation of the command now lainly necessary. In his letter to the Senate Leen} 80 pl 3 | committee on appropriations the general oy | Placed the respons ity aquarely on the com- mittee's ‘that communication he said: “The estimates for the support of the militia of the District of Columbia for the next fcal amount . The amount appro- Printed in. the District appropriation bill ns passed by the House is $22,650. “The appropriations made for the current fiscal year were made without any previous ex- perience or facts on which to base them and will entail a deficiency. The estimates made for the next fiscal year were based on actual facts and experience. The « " aates amoun' to about $20 per capita of the wilitia, which is Fegan | x far below the average @ ture made by the states, and it ‘also be noted that the ex- tures estimated for are of » character t will not grow and make greater demands from year to year. iif, however, the —— gf, the District not permit ep] for the next fiscal year of the amount estimated as neces- sary for its militia there can be no objection to cutting it down, but the cutting down should be done in an in ¢ manner. “The true objects of the militia are: First, to constitutes reserve police force for the en- forcement of civil law; second, to be trained for possible service as the first and only reserve of our smailarmy in times of public danger; d, and ite most important object, to be a school of instruction to fit young men for military duty if the country should ever need their services. It is better that whatever purposes are attempted to accomplish these objects should be done thoronghly rather than attempt a great many ‘pirponee wi insufficient means for each. It tter to concentrate the amount of money fixed upon to be appro- priated to a few purposes that can be thor- oughly and beneficially accomplished rather than to divide it among # great many purposes, one of which can be accompli fer amount ap] to it and which would result in fhe wasteful expenditure of the whole. ITEMS IN DETAIL. “To make the matter clear I will refer in de- tail to the various items of expenditure. The cost of rent of armories is a fixed fact. They were secured by selecting those offered at the lowest prices after an exhaustive examination of every building in the city suited for the purpose. ‘The rentals thus secured are exceedingly low and are duly recorded by leases filed in the office of the first controller. ‘They are as follows: Headquarter offices and store rooms (corner of 17th street and Pennsyl- vania avenue). First battalion and headquarters of first regiment (Albaugh’s Opera House). iat Second, fourth, fifth and sixth ‘bat- talions and be juarters of second regiment (Center Market). ....

From thedetailed statement I have i i Py 3g: j re H I H tlone.

We are not permitted fo join the white companies and now are not to be allowed separate companies. Even our white citizens, am sure, will not approve this action.” MAJ. FLEETWOOD DECLINES TO TALE. A Stax reporter saw Maj, Fleetwood of the seventh battalion this afternoon to find out what he thought of Gen. Ordway’s action in re- gard to the two colored battalions. It wes evident that the major took the matter very much to heart, but, notwithstanding this fact, he was unwilling to speak at all freely. The time was coming, he said, when he would have something to say, but that time is not t. He does not at alllike the idea of the ttalion at whose head he has marched so gracefully now breaking ranks because there are not saficient funds in the treasury aclerk, got themselves locked u afternoon ing ont of the policy business 4 that house No. 1112 E street was raided on a warrant and the keys were taken possession of by the police. The owner of the premises was notified to come and get the keys, but before he did so the two m ntioned went into the house, acting upon advice of counsel, and Lieut.’ Amiss caused their arrest ou the charge stated. ‘They were discharged this morning. Abraham Crown plead guilty to violating the -y law and was sentenced to two months in and a fine of $150. 4N ADMINISTRATOR'S CLAIM, ‘He Wants Money That Has Been Covered Inte the Policeman’ ‘und. Mr. Charles C. Tucker, administrator of the estate of David Patterson, has written the Com- missioners a letter calling attenticn to the sum of $656.10, which was discovered among the effects of David Patterson, who died suddenly in the Federal building in 1884. This money he says, was held by the coroner for some time and then turned over to the property clerk of the police department. Under a very palpable misconstruction of the law in such cases, he says this officer treating this money in accord- ance with the provisions of sections 408-424 of the Revised Statutes of the District relating to “‘ntolen, lost and abandoned property,” covered ‘the same into the policemen s fund of the Dis- of the District of Columbia National to pay for an armory. He has called a meet- ing of his command for this evening and there may be a few expressions of stormy senti- ment turned loose, but the major is avoidi type for the ‘time being. He sayshe is acting =, in obedience to orders from above and in accordance with proper disci- pline. Which bemg the case any criticiem passed on superior officers would be decidedly out of place. a FURTHER POSTPONEMENT DENIED. ‘The Case of Judge Kincaid, Who Shot Repre- sentative Taulbee, to Come Up Next Monday. In the Criminal Court, Judge Hagner, this afternoon Judge Wilson and Mr. C. Maurice Smith, who, with Gen. Grosvenor and Senator Voorhees, appear for Judge C. E. Kincaid, under indictment for the murder of ex-Repre- sentative Taulbee, February 28, 1990, called at- tention to the case. Mr. Smith read a dispatch from Senator Voorhees, who is under treatment at Hot Springs, Ark., stating that his plgysician decides that in order that he may completely re- cover from his rheumatism he must remain there sixty days. Mr. Smith said they were compelled to ask a postponement till June next—the case having been fixed for the 16th instant. District Attorney Cole said that, as much as he would like to accommodate Senator Voorhees, he felt compelled to object to such continuance, especially as he was only one of the counsel employed. Besides a number of witnesses had been sent for, some of whom were probably on thelr way here. Judge Wilson urged that the court grant the application. POSTPONEMENT DEXIED. when the case had been pending over a year and the defendant represented by three other countel, grant the motion, and it was overruled. Released on Bail. In the Criminal Court, Judge Hagner, this afternoon the case of Peter Mudd, alias Joseph H. Dunn, charged with larceny, second offense, was brought to the attention of the court. Mr. of Dr. McWilliams (of the jail) and Dr. Purvis | 900 of Freedman's Hospital as to the mental condi- tion of the prisoner, he stated that arra father habits of the mind. Judge juestion for trict. Mr. Tucker requests that the money and personal effects of his intestate be turned over to him. Chief Clerk Sylvester has reported on the cate. He states that as no one claimed the pro} over to the oner, he says, turned the effects upon an order of the Commission- ers. The money was retained six months and no claimant being discovered it was treated as other money and property, being first advertised. aOR pore he says, who alleges misconstruc- tion’ of the law on part has discov- ered for the first time a former servant of the Inte Patterson, who permitted the latter to become indebted to him to the ‘extent of $100. If the police de) mt, con- Sinues Mr. Sylvester, must refrain from de- ositing to the credit of the policemen’s fun: [eee ent cbenionsd ams et money dis covered upon or about the premises or with the effects of the — friendless dead, then new accommodations must be had for its keeping and the books of the property clerk will never be valanced. The money ix now a part of the policemen's fund, and under the act approved February 25, 1885, can be withdrawn only for the specific ' purposes therein declared. —_—_ DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
