The duennas making an imposing cordon of the room shared their honors with the mon and maidens between the dances and during some of them. ‘The bail room was elaborately decorated. ‘The sailor boys had been busy at it all day and their labors were appreciated by every one commenting on the handsome appearance of the ball. ‘The walls were hung with flags of all nations, the balcony was resplendent with streamers and had asa central ornament the flag of the Secretary of the Navy. The stage, furnished with divans and chairs, had a drapery of flags and another of garlands of smilax, in which twinkled red, white and blue lights. ‘All the labor to make this pretty display was one of pure charity.

Adispatch from Tennessee, states that re- publicans were petitioning for the appointment of Judge Jackson to the Supreme bench. Rep- resentative Hank, the leading representative of the south in the House, has sent the following aispateh to Knoxville: “Loday’s papers sey ‘a petition is being c culated (at Knoxville) by prominent repub! cans requesting the President to appoint Judge Jackson on the Supreme bench.’ Can it be that any republican is doing such a thing? #0, who is it? How an east 1 can can ask a republican President to app Pronounced southern states rights democrat ike I beliéve Judge Jackson to be, though he pre-eminently just and able, over a native born southern republican like Judge Goff, equally as | just and able, I cannot understand.’ If the re- | publicans are signing such a petition I know they don't know its contents, Harrison, with- ‘out betraying the republican party, could not appoint a democrat to the Supreme bench. The republicans of east Tennessee are undoubtedly universally for Judge Goff or some southern republican of like character. What does peti- tion amount t ds a To Change the Flag on the 22d Instant. The Treasury Department is unofficially ad- vised that the coremony of hauling down the British flag and raising the American flag to the peak on the Inman steamers New York and Paris will be performed on the 224 inst. Thero is a peculiar appropriateness in the selection of Washington's birthday anniversary for this patriotic ceremony, fraught, as it is, with so much encouragement in the direction of in- eroasing our merchant marine and our naval auxiliary. It is expected that the document- 1 of those vessels with American registers will be consummated by the collector of cus- toms at New York in ample time for the flag- raising event. a To Repeal tl Civil Service Law.

WASHINGTON, MT. VERNON AND ALEXANDRIAR. R. The House District committee today gave a hearing to Mr. A. D. Anderson and Capt. Reed upon the Washington, Mt. Vernon and Alexan- dria Railroad Company's proposed extension of route. Mr. Anderson explained the plan of the bill as providing a ronte for the railroad froma point on B street south of the Treasury build- ing, along B street to the river, where an iron bridge is to span the Potomac, "The bridge is tobeafree one. He ssid there is a pr nounced public demand for a short route to Mount Vernon affording quick transportation. Mr. Anderson has conferred with citizens and has found an almost unanimous demand for the bridge and the road. ‘The only opposition to the bill thus far has proceeded from a few citizens of Georgetown who feared a possible interference with com- merce in the river. Mr. Anderson felt sure that the War Department will protect the in- terests of navigation of the river. He consi ered the proposition of the company a retuar! abiy liberal one—to build an iron bridge and give a double carriageway and footway across it free to the public. It isa broad-gauge pro- ject, with the ultimate object of establishing Tapid transit to Mt. Vernon. Capt. Reed, vice president of the road and resident of the Alexandria board of trade, ad- ressed the committee. His company is a live, solvent, active company, now operating one of the best electric railroads in this or any other country. ‘The company has introduced a novel feature—the running of express trains—never before attempted. The cars are coupled to- gether so that the electric current from the trolley is transmitted to every car. The company proposes to leave to the dis- cretion of the committee the kind of motor to be used within the city limi Capt. Reed, who has had many years of ex- rience as a vessel owner ind operator on the ‘otomac river, asserted that the bridge would not interfere with navigation. It is proposed to complete the bridge within five months. There is no objection to allowing other roads to cross the bridge, under equitable arrangements for compensation. WASHINGTON, FAIRFAX AND ALEXANDRIA RR. Maj. 0. E. Hine, Maj. R. 8. Lacey, Cept Bodfish and Mr. Frank Hume appeared before the House District committee today in favor of the bill to give right of way to the Washington, Fairfax and Alexandria Railway Company. Maj. Hine briefly explained to the committee the route of the road, which has been hereto- fore published in Tue’ Stan. ‘THE FLOWER MARKET. Mr. Calderon Carlisle appeared before the House District committee today in bebalf of the proposition to establish a flower market in this city. He said the present market house | is built upon a public reservation. It is pro- posed to erect on an adjoining reservation, ‘the small square at 9th and Pennsylvania | avenue, now occupied by a fountaiu, a building for the sale of flowers. ‘There is probably a larger demand for flowers in this city than am: where else. The proposed building is to be a sightly one and an ornament to that section. He thought that the market would be a good investment for the District, as the rental of the booths is to be covered into the District treas- ury. Mr. Carlisle said that tho only real opposi- fionte the bill comes from the lange, dorsts of ‘the city, who will find in this t a menac- ing rival to their business, for the reason that purchasers can find lower prices at the market. TO PAY NAVAL CONSTRUCTOR WILSON. Senator Hale introduced an amendment to- day, which he intends to propose to the con- sular appropriation Dill, to pay to Naval Con- struotor Theo. D.

The Commissioners this morning received letter from Representative Dockery requesting information respecting the holidays, leaves of absence and hours of labor affecting the clerks and others in the offices of the government of the District of Columbia, It was decided to comply with the request at once and the fol- lowing reply was eubmitted: The number of holidays given during the calender year 1892 under law or executive order has been as follows: January 1, Eeb- tuary 22, May 30, July 4, November 24 (Thanksgiving day) and December 25. All of these are legal holi € giving day, which is fixed proclamation. ‘The number of days or parts of days re- mitted from the regular hours of employment were as follows: May 16 offices closed at 12 o'clock m. out of respect to the memory of Senator Barbour. June 4 the employes in the auditor's office wh could be spared were allowed to attend the funeral of a deceased clerk of that office. From June 18 to September 1 the offices were closed at 3 o'clock p.m. on account of the heated term. During the G.A-R. encampment the offices were closed all day on September 20 and one-half dey on the 19th, 2ist, 22d and 234, excepting the health office. On October 6 colored em-| ployes belonging to colored Odd Fellows or- ganizations who could be «pared were per- mitted to be absent to participate in the ceremonies of that organization. On No- vember 23, the day before Thanksgiving, the offices were closed at 12 o'clock m. On December 21 the offices were closed at 1 o'clock out of respect to the memory of Senator Plumb, whose funeral took place on that di The offices were also closed one-half day each from the 24th to the 3ist of December, both in- clusive. ‘These remissions did not apply to the fire or police departments or to per diem em- ployes Ail salaried employes of the District govern- ment are allowed thirty days’ leave of absence during each year, under the following order: All employes will be allowed thirty days’ leave | of absence during the year at such times as may be recommended in writing by the heads of offices and be approved by” the | Commissioners, and any absence in excess of | the allowance, except for illness, must be without pay. in case of absence due to illness the absentee must submit a statement of the facts, accompanied by the indorsement of a reputable physician, stating that it imcapaci- tates him from doing duty. throngh the head of the oftice to the secretary of the board. ‘This order has generally been construed to allow pay during thirty day®’ illness, A fall thirty days’ leave of absence during the Year was not given to all thowe entitled to it under said order. In many cases only fifteen days’ leave of absence was given, and in instances much less. This was one of the considerations which influenced the Commissioners in ordering the remissions of portions of the other days than public holidays. It is also fair to state in this counec- tion that nothing is allowed for work done by these employes in excess of that during the regular hours of labor prescribed. All of them are subject to such service and in quite a num. ber of cases amounting tos much as ten days or more a year.” eters The Blaines at the Funeral. Among the mourners at Mr. Blaine’s funeral Monday who arrived late and whose name was therefore accidentally omitted from the ac- count of the proceedings was Mr. John E.
