The President sent the following nomins- tions to the Senate today: James B. Eustis of Louisiana to be ambassa- sador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to France. August Belmont & Co. to be special fiscal agents of the Navy Department at London, Engiand, vice Seligman Brothers. The nomination of Mr. Eustis, who bad al- ready been confirmed as minister to France, is simply to raise the grade of the mission to an embassy to meet the corresponding change made by the French government in the case of ite representation at Washington. Somes ae THREE MORE DISMISSALS. District Employes in the Unclassified Ser- vice the Victims. Three more dismissals were made in the Treasury Department today of employes in the unclassified service who are credited with ap- pointments from the District of Columbia. This proportion, it is stated, will probably be maintained and dismissals of a few made each day until the force is reduced to the lowest pos- sible number and gheir places filled by appoint- ments from the states. : ‘The condition of some of those who have been dropped is unfoztunate, as their circumstances are not the best in the worid. Their expenses have eaten up their monthly salaries, and with- out this they have no means of support’ The department is all astir over the matter, and every one apprehends that he will be the next to suffer. He Has Nearly Kecovered His Health and ‘Will Continue in Command. Capt. Bridgman, Admiral Gherardi’s chief of staff in the naval review, was at the Navy De- partment for several hours today in con- ference with Secretary Herbert, Commodore Ramsay and others in regard to perfecting certain details in regard to the reception and entertainment of official visitors from Washington. He disposes of the rumor of a possible change in the office of commander-in- chief by the statement that Admiral Gherardi is recovering rapidiy from his recent illness and will undoubiedly be all right in a few days. It may be stated as an assured fact thai miral Gherardi will not be relieved of the command of the review _ fiect unless he shail become physically incapable of performing the necessary duties. Capt. Bridg- man said it was not altogether improbable that Admiral Gherardi will visit Washington tomor- row or Monday for the purpose of having » Personal conference with Secretary Herbert. a AN ARMY EPISODE. Reported Conflict Authority Between ‘Two Major Generals. No information has been received at the War Department in regard to the Indian troubles at Antlers, except what has been furnished by agents of the Interior Department. Urders were issued for an army officer to go to Ant- lers to see if the situation called for military interference, but before ho started word was received here that peace had been restored, so the orders were revoked. Since then the fight between the factions been renewed with increased vigor. United States troops will not be sent to the scene, however, unless the Secretary of the Interior requests it. It is said further that Gen. Schofield and Gen. Miles had a disagreement in this matter. ‘The latter was ordered to send an officer to Antlers to investigate the situation. and in compliance therewith he ordered the officer in charge of tho military school at Fort Leavenworth tv make the investigation, When Gen. Schofield heard of this selection he countermanded the order and politely informed Gen. Miles that | the military school in question is not a part of is command, and consequently that officers on duty there sre not subject to his orders, ex- Sy ha approved at Washington. wus it om two reasons are given for the absence of the military at Antlers, and it is extremely difficult to ascertain which real one. is the eed Had « Razor Blade in His Sock. Richard Lancaster, a young colored man who sometimes carries = weapon, thought he would not be detected when he used his sock instead of his pocket as its resting place. That it should take up as little room as possible he took the blade of a razor from its handle and it was found in the place stated when a policeman arrested him. When the case was called in Judge Miller's court the prisoner's counsel attempted to get his client off on the technical ground that the weapon found was only a blade and was not a razor, but the point raised had no effect on Judge Miller, who sent the prisoner to jail for six months.

GOV. SHEEHAN WERE THE VISITORS—ONLY A BRIEF CALL AND A DATE MADE FOR FURTHER CONFEREXCE— OTHERS WHO VISITED THE WHITE HOUSE, The heavy paw of the Tammany tiger was Ind upon the White House today. It is true that the claws were sheathed—but they were there just the same, and while the nobie beast purred amiably for the occasion there was a hungry look in its eye and menace in the swish of ite tail. ‘Two big men from Tammany called on the President this morning. They were Lieut Gov. Sheehan and Senator Murphy. Mr. Sheehan came over from New York last night for the ex- Press purpose of seeing the President and Sen- ator Murphy was called upon to act as escort to the White House. Mr. Sheehan brought with him » number of papers which he desired to have in readiness to present to the President if occasion offered. They were applications and indorsements of New Yorkers for appointment to office, and every one of them was vised with the Tam- many tiger's claw marks. SENATOR MURPHY AND MR. SHERHAN. It was little after 10 o'clock this morning when Senator Murphy escorted Mr. Sheehan into the Prosident’s room and the assembled Congressmen gave way to allow an immediate audience. The greeting between the President and Mr. Sheehan is said to have been cordial and an earnest conversation was carried on inan undertone. ‘When Mr. Sheehan and the Senator emerged into the lobby they were attacked by a preda- tory band of newspaper men who had lain in ambush, and who demanded rangom for their release in the shape of an inter Mr. Sheehan said he had enjoyed a pleasant talk with the President, bug it was short, as there were many thers in waiti id the match his busi arly the city this afternoon . Sheeban said that the interview will be continued next week, and he will come over from New York for that purpose. HE WANTS A LONG TALK. It is understood that Mr. Sheehan intimated to the President his wish to have a talk with him which might be prolonged, as the subject to be discussed is of some importance, the inference being that the topic is the distribution of federal patronage in which Tammany is interested. Thereupon the President suggested that some day next week might aiford a good op- for the taik, which suggestion was accepted. Mr. Sheehan to name the day. When the ‘lummany men departed the assem- bled multitude in the President's room rushed upon him again to see if there was snything left in the way of offices, or if the tiger had devoured the prey bones and all. MEMMERS OF THE DISTRICT BAR, Mr. R. Ross Perry, Mr. J. J. Darlington and Mr. Nathaniel Wilsou, three prominent mem- bers of the District bar, called at the White House this morning. They came with the intention of asking the President to appoint Mr. Martin F. Morris of this city asa member cf the new District Court of Appeals, but when they saw the crowd of Senators and Representatives around him they abandoned the attempt of se- curing @ persoual interview and were allowed to depart in peace after paying toll to the news- peper men by confessing the object of their visit, A G0oD-8IZED PETITION. Petitions are in favor among office seekers these days, since the idea has gone abroad that the good will of a community is as weighty an indorsement as that of a Congressman. Maj. Cullingworth, one of the many candidates for the Richmond postmastership, sent a petition tothe President by Congressman Wise con- taining 3,143 signatures to his application for appointment. : ‘The gossips said today that indications point to the appointment of Joe Muller, ex-commis- sioner of internal revenue, to that office.

Another ex- ecutive session has been held and still the nom- ination remains unreported by the finance com- mittee. Anenergetic effort is being made by some members of the committee to have the nomination recailed, but so far, apparently, without success. Senator Vest of Missouri was appointed a subcommittee to take charge of the case, and in accordance with appointment Mr. Vest called m Mr. Cieveland and informed him of the pposition that had manifested itself in com- mittee. Still no action has been taken by | the President, despite the fact that the ses- sion is speedily drawing to a close. It is understood that Senators Sherman and Morrill have declared their unalterable opposition to the confirmation on the ground that the nomi- nee is entirely ignorant of the subject of bank- ing and at least one prominent democratic member of the committee is aiso understood to be opposed to confirmation, and it is this ener- getic opposition, coupled with the non-action of the President, that resulted in the nomine- tion not being reported.

Patenotre, the French am- bassador, will be dean of the diplomatic corps, the selection depending on the date of their re- ception by the President in their new capacity. M. Patenotre has received his credentials, but those of Sir Julian have not yet arrived. The former, therefore, may possibly be received by President Cleveland as ambassador in advance of Sir Julian, If this should be the case M. Patenotre and not Sir Julian will be the dean of the diplomatic corps by virtue of priority in service, Seniority in this regard dates. from the date of reception by the President and not from the date of appointment by the home gov- ernment. ————— High School Entertainments.
