The majority of those who went to the White House had business with the secretary. Previous to the assembling of the caifinet, however, several of the prominent visitors had a chance to speak a few words to the chief executive. Gen. Draper of Massachusetts, who will probably be ambassador to Italy, was among those accorded a chat with the President. There dees not seem to be the least doubt of Gen. Draper’s nomination to the Italian ambassadorskip. It has practi- cally been decided for a long time, and all the talk with the President proceeds along the line of assumption that tHe question is settled. The delay about sending in the nomination is thought to be caused by the desire of the President to send the Italian ard German embassy nominations to the rate at the same time, as he did those of England and France. The selection of Ardrew D. White as ambassador to Ger- has been announced for several but there is a delay in making an official announcement. Assistant Secretary of War. It is said to be straight that the Pr dent has decided that the place of assist- ant secretary of war shall go to a soldier, if possible. That accounts for the fact that no nomination for this place has yet n sent in. It is authoritatively stated at the position was offerd to two Ne- »raska men. One of these was Gen. Jno. ©. Cowan, mentioned in The Star yesterday. The oth as John L. Webster of Omaha. both declined. An effort was made y day to have ‘m reconsider their dec! tions so that one would accept the place. rhe President himself, it is said, tried to General Cowan to take the office. The fact that two Nebraska men were un- doubtedly offered the place furnishes a supposition that the President wanted Ne- t to have the position. At any rat Senator Thurston is urging upon the Pre: ident the appointment of ex-Representative seorge Meiklejohn as assistant secretary of war. Senator Thurston is earnest in nis desire to have Mr. Meiklejohn given © place, and it is not improbable that he will land him, if the intention to appoint a soldier is not carried out.

The appointment yesterday of ex-Repre- sentative Thomas Ryan of Kansas to be as- stant retary of the interior is pro- ductive of a large amount of gossip.

The appointment was , » wishes of Mr. Leland, but all ho know the relations between’ the ni: i committeeman and the Presiden know that the President has a warm r zard for the former and would not turn him down.

Mr. Flynn will be the next gov- erncr of Oklahom: prescniative Tracey of Missouri filed rs at the White House. Col M. ‘ker and Gen. Boynton were visitors desiring to further press the claims of George H. Waiker for the otfice of solicitor of interual revenue. The Doings of Virgininns. Y. T. Brown, editor of the Loudoun (V: Telephone, was at the White House to- day. So was Colonel P. H. MeCaull, who is figuring in a sharp triangular fight for the collectorship of internal revenue of the western Virginia district. The candidates are Colonel McCaull, Park Agnew of Alex- andria and Mr. Heilman ef Highland. Rep- resentative Yost is said to be putting in the best work he knows how for Mr. Hell- man. Colonel McCaull has strong backing. Besides indersements of home _ people, Chairman Lamb among them, Senators Elkins of West Virginia and Pritchard of North Carolina are lending their aid to Colonel McCaull. Chairman Lamb has expressed the opin- ion that representative republicans through- cut the state ought to be recognized as having a right to express their choice in all selections. He will in no way, he states, attempt to dictate appointments. H. Lee, one of the few members of the family to leave the democratic party. is au applicant for the consulship at Cosia Rica. It is said that Col. J. D. Brady has no epposition for collector of internal reve- nue of the eastern district. The Grant Monument Celebration. A. P. Steele of the committee of arrange- ments for the Grant celebration in New York had a conference with Secretary Porter and Secretary Bliss today about the visit which the President will make to New York and the part he will take in the celebration. The arrangemeats will be completed within a few days and will be announced. It is probable that a special train will convey the President and mem- bers of the cabinet to New York. A straight tip from an authoritative source this afternoon is that the name of Benj. Butterworth of Ohio will go to the Senate tomorrow for the office of com- missioner of patents. This has been defi- nitely decided on and it is not likely that there will be any delay. If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star. If anybody has what you wish, you will get an answer.

Engineer Blew His Whistle and At- tempted to Stop—The Testi- > mony in the Case. This morning, at 11 o'clock, at the sixth pelice station, Coroner Hammett held an inquest in the case of the old colored man, John Henry Talbert, who was killed on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad Sunday afternoon near the Deanwood crgssing. Friends and relatives of the dead man were present at the hearing. The first witness called was Lewis E. Hayes, a boy, who gave his age as thirteen years. “Do you know the nature of an oath?” Dr. Hammett asked the boy. “The nature of en oath? boy. “Do you know what will become of you if you tell a falsehood?” the coroner asked. “No, sir,” was the boy's response. “But you know It Is a sin?” “Yes, sir.” The boy told the jury that he was walk- ing on the track Sunday afternoon when he heard the train coming south, He heard the whistle biowing, and when he turned he saw the old colored man. Witness call- ed to him, and he looked around, but the engine was then almost upon him. “l knew chest was going to strike him * sald witness, “and I turned my head. When I looked back I saw him lying in the mud.” With: 1 there is a wagon bridge over t nch where the accident hap- pened, t was not necessary for the man to pass over the trestle. He heard the train whistle down brakes and then the distress whistle was blown. Engineer's Story. rejeated the Engineer James Hogarth was in charge of the engine. When he whistled for the Sheriff's road crossing the engine was about one hundred or one hundred and fifty yards from the colored man. At that time he thought the man was waiking on the side of the track. When he saw that the man paid no attention to the whistle he reversed his engine and put on the air brake. The air was only on the ten- der, as the car next to the tender had no air brake. tiad there been air on the whole train the train could have been stop- ped sooner than it was. Witness said his train was going at the rate of about twelve miles an hour. Witness said he had been an engineer since 1865, and had figured in three accidents which involved loss of life. Did the accident occur on a crossing?” the witness was asked. “No, sir;” was his response, is between two crossings.” “Are there any gates at the Sheriff's aad crossing?” vo, sir.”” itness when auestioned by a juror said he was fifty-eight years old. His eyesight is good. The man got from in front of the engine and was on the side of the trestle sitting on the “rai! piece’ when the steam box struck his hip and knocked him in the branch. He fell in the water and witness was told that he had walked out of the water before the fireman reached him. ‘The man was dead when witness reached him. Witness explained that it is much easier to stop @ passenger train than it is to stop a freight train, because of the brakes. George H. Frizzell, engineer on the train, testified that when he first saw the col- ored man he was about 200 yards ahead of the train. Witness rarg the bell and Tal- bert went over to the right side of the track. When he next saw the old man the was seated in the water. He got up without assistance and crawled to the edge of the bank before witness reached fim. The man died in a few minutes. Henry Baker, brakeman, testified that he was on the rear of the train of twenty-five cars. When he heard the distress whistle he applied the brakes. Witness went for a doctor, but when he arrived upon the scene the man was dead. L. Duley, another brakeman, gave simi- lar testimony. He thought the train was going about twelve miles an hour. Witness first knew there was something wrong when he heard the whistle. ‘The jury returned a verdict of accidental Geath, and the body was turned over to relatives. ‘the trestle re —_-.—-— Made a Retractton, Daniel Murray, who was sued by Prof. J.

SHOCK’S NEW RECORD He Has Been Doing Better Hale, the Champion. THE CONVENTION HALL CYCLE RACE | Contestants Are Displaying Re- markable Endurance. LAWSON’S BAD TUMBLE —_>+—_—__ ‘This morning found the six-day racers at Convention Hall still working hard around the track. The fatigue of over fifty-four hours had not the effect that one would sppose. The men looked weary, but bet- ter than would be expected after such a test of endurance. The surprise of those intes- ested in the race is the fast time made. Shock’s riding ts remarkable. Lawson succeeded in breaking the contin- uous saddle record yesterday. He counted or riding 300 miles without getting off, but through an accident he was thrown from his machine yesterday afterncon after re- Frank Albert. maining in the saddle for fifieen consecu- tive hours and three minutes, covering 265 miles and 8 laps. The fecord was held by Ned Reading, the soldier boy rider, who rode miles in the last Madison Square Garden race, breaking the old record of 231 miles, for which performance he received $50. The Twenty-Four Hour Record. At the end of the twenty-fourth hour the the score was as follows: Name. Miles. Laps. Name. + 400 1 Cassedy.. 9 = 4 Ford 4 «5 Rivierre Gelden. 9 0 Muller Late yesterday afternoon Lawson, while riding behind Shock, was thrown from his wheel by one of Shock’s feed cans. Shock endeavored to hand it to his helper, and the can fell on the track, striking the Swede’s wheel and throwing him heavily. He lost over an hour by the accident, in getting rubbed down and fixed up. His trainers claim that the act was intentional, and filed a protest with the referee, which will be acted upon in case Shock finishes ahead of Lawson. The riding of Shock and Albert so far has been phenomenal. Shock left the track for the first time a few minutes before mid- night, after having remained on the track nearly twenty-four hours continuously, ! losing eleven mintites. for sevente off for twent 7 o'clock thi minutes. Frank Albert is also riding in good form, and in fact he appears to be in the best condition of any man on the track. He ride: sily and keeps up the pace with no apparent exertion. Lawson appeared to be suffering from the effects of his fall, and lost ground steadily, Golden -oming up. Rivierre ap- peared this morning to be riding in much better form. Cassedy and Ford each en- joyed a good rest last night lasting several hours. The race appears to lie between Shock and Albert. Ahead of Hnle’s Record. Shock reached his At 12:19 he went off n minutes, and at 2:47 he w ight minutes. Shortly after morning he lost four more “Mth mile at 7:02 this morning. At 9:46 he equaled Teddy Hale's record of 546 miles for thirty-four hours, and by the time the hour rounded off he pd 548 miles and 5 laps, two and a covere half miles above Hale’s record. Lawson covered his 5th mile at 10:44:30 this morning, cr thirty-four hours, seven- n and a half minute: ym the start. hock equaled Hale's thirty-five-hour record at 10:54, having covered 3 miles. By 11 o'clock he had covered 565 miles and 3 laps, breaking the Englishman's record. The rilers at 11 o'clock appeared to be suffering from the effects of the ride, but only in a slight w: Nearly all of the men were getting caddle sore, and showed it. The old riders did not appear to mind it so much, but the new men felt it bad- ly. Towels’ and cloths were wrapped around the saddle to ease the seat, but they did not entirely elleviate the pain. Shock at the cnd of the thirty-sixth hour had smashed another of the lanky foreigner’ American-made ‘d. Hale made 550 miles in the thirty-sixth hour. Shock equaled this at 11:55, or seven min- utes, cial time, ahead. In this space cf time ke rode two miles and three more laps, swelling the new record to 582 miles and three laps. The increase in the record will be greater when the score 1s officially cor- rected. The track has been surveyed by Mr. Stier, the surveyor, who found it 531.2 feet in length, or three feet and two-tenths longer a lap than counted. This would make the course thirty-two feet longer to the mile, a gain of over three miles in every 300 miles. At noon there were six men on the track. Rivierre, the Frenchman, retired to get a few kours of slumber, and Muller had not been on the track since 10 o'clock last evening He reached the track shortly before noon, and prepared to continue rid- ing this afternoon. ‘The Noon Score. - At the end of thirty-six hours, which closed at noon, the standing of the men was as follows: Name.

It did not seem to have any effect on them, and they went around the track like ai tomatons. Shock was encouraged in his record-breaking work by the cries of the trainers and officials. The number of spec- tators was limited, but they appeared to take a deep interest in things. Marquette: Road Club.

Susie CONDENSED LOCALS This morning complaint was made to Food Inspector Mothershead that eggs in the end of which was a small hole were being sold by a poultry man on the coun- try line at the Center market. The in- spector had never heard of such a thing before, and so he went to make an investi- gation, and was soon satisfied that the eggs were as good as any in the market for table purposes. It was explained to im by the dealer that the hoies had been drilled in the eggs with a fine needle, and this was done in order to render them unfit for setting purposes. The dealer said he sold eggs for setting purposes for a dollar a dozen, while the others sell at regular market 'prices. This explanation was per. fectly satisfactory. Cucumbers as fine as were ever in the market are being grown by owners of hot- houses in this vicinity. They bring much higher prices than those shipped here from Florida or from distant hot houses. The first lot of bluefish of the season ar- rived here yesterday, and were sold on the benches in market today. They were caught in the ocean off the capes by fish- ermen from New London, Conn. Some big rockfish are being caught in the lower Po- tomac. Last week a fish of this species weighing about seventy-five pounds was caught and brought here.
