President McKinley Has Offered to Make Him Axsistant Secretary of War. Col. Fred. Grant of New York, the eldest son of ex-President Grant, was this morn- ing tendered the position of assistant sec- retary éf war by President McKinley, and has the question of his acceytance under advisement. Col. Grant was summoned to w ton by Mr. McKinley for the ex- press purpose of allowing the President in person to make the tender. It was entirely unsolicited by Col. Grant, and came in the nature of a surprise to him. Although the crush of callers at the White House was very great when Col. Grant arrived about noon, he was ushered into the cabinet room by the private en- trance and remained with the President over half an hour. Secretary Alger came over from the War Department and the President formally known to Col. Grant the nature of honor he desired to bestow upon him. He spoke feelingly of his friendship and esteem for Gen. Grant, and of the pleasure was sure the country would manifest at- so appropriate a selection for this import- ant post. Se ry Alger joined heartily in urging Col. Grant to accept. Col. Grant at first was disposed to decline the honor, explain- ing that he was comfortably situated in New York 2s police commissioner. His children are at school in New York, and he was | ed to think that a transfer of his residence here would involve too much. He expressed his deep gratitude for the honor involved in the tender. : At the request of both the President and Secretary Alger he decided to withhoid his ision for a day or two and then t his mother, wko resides in Should Colonel Grant refuse, it ated with posi that Mr. selection in view and that the appointment in any event will be made early next week. ak ae COPPER LEFT OUT. TENDERE GRANT. venes An Oversight by the House in Pass- ing the Tariff Bill. Through some oversight during the con- sideration of the Dingley tariff bill the House neglected to adopt an amendment to put copper on the free list, which had been prepared by the ways and means ccmmittee, and consequently there is no provision tor copper in the bill. Not hav- ing any special mention copper falls into the basket clause at 25 per cent ad va- lorem. In the original draft of the bill the McKinley rate of one cent per pound on copper was retained. The subject was brovght to the attention of the ccenmit- tee a second time, and as it appeared that no copper is imported tuto the United States and some exported the committee Saw no reason why it should not be in- cluded in the free list. The clause pro- viding for it in the metal schedule was stricken out by the House, but the amend- ment putting it into the free list was not offered. Similar errors have been mate in the passage of every tariff bill, and this oversight will involve no serious conse- quences, even if the Senate should f: correct it. mai AMERICAN CITIZENS DISBARRED. Ex-Seeretary Olney Discovered Flaw in « Hawaiian Act. It remained for Secretary Olney to dis- cover a flaw In the act passed last June by the Hawalian legislature, the result of which, in bis opinion, was to prevent any citizens of the Untted States henceforth from becoming naturalized in Hawaii. A copy of the act was sent here by Consul General Mills, and Secretary Olney, In ac- knowledging its receipt, wrote a letter, which is included in the foreign relations just made public, calling attention to the fact that as the act required the applicant for Hawaiian naturalization to set out Sat Sa citizen of a country having express uralization treaty relations with Ha- t nited States has no such Treaty, United States citizens appeared to be disbarred. —___« AGAINST RAILROAD COMBINATIONS.

WITHDRAWAL OF TURKISH TROOPS England Agrees to the Blockade of the Gulf of Athens. CONFIDENTIALNEGOTIATIONS BERLIN, April 1.—The Frankfort Zeitung has received a dispatch from Constantino- ple, saying Greece has submitted to the Turkish government a proposal to purchase the Island of Crete. A dispatch adds that the porte declined to undertake separate negotiations, declaring that Turkey remains in accord with the European concert. LONDON, April 1.—The Westminster Ga- zette this afternoon publishes a dispatch from Constantinople, which says, that act- ing upon the instruction of their respective governments, the ambassadors of the pow- ers have opened confidential negotiations with the Turkish government for a definite withdrawal of the Turkish troops from Crete. VIENNA, April 1—The Fremdenblatt publishes a dispatch from St. Petersburg today which says that Great Britain has netified Russia of her assent to the ad- mirals’ provosal to blockade the gulf of Athens, provided all the powers assist in the blockade. Russia, it is added, is willing to send another battalion and a battery of artil- lery to the Istand of Crete, provided a majerity of the powers do likewise. In this connection the Fremdenblatt de- clares that Austria will not send any fur- ther reinforcements to Crete. PARIS, April 1.—There is no truth in the report, printed in London, that Count Muroevieff, the Russian minister for for- eign affairs, has arrived here unexpectedly from St. Petersburg. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 1+-It is re- ported that Karathoodori Pasha, who was Mentioned some six weeks ago as likely to be eppointed governor of Crete, is going to Athens on a special mission to King George of Greece. LONDON, April 1.—There were loud cheers from the Irish benches in the house of commons today when the parliamentary secretary for the foreign office, Mr. Cur- zon, confirmed the report from Crete that a detachment of Turkish Bashi Bazouks at Retimo had fired upon a flag of truce. Continuing, Mr. Curzon said the govern- ment was doing everything possible to accelerate the withdrawal of the Turkish troops from Crete, though, he explained, until the powers were in a position to re- Place the garrison, which they are now endeavoring to do by the dispatch of re- inforcements, they were not justified in exposing the refugees at the seaport to the risk of a successful attack. MSS Bae EVASION OF TAXATION. © Central Labor Unton of New York. NEW YORK, April 1.—Corporations which have been accused of evading the payment of their just proportion of taxa- tion are prepared to retort upon their ac- cusers. When the legal representative of the Central Labor Union appears before the tax commissioners to make his statement he will be met with the claim preferred by counsel for one of the corporations that nearly all the labor unions have large sums of money fa their treasuries which 1s subject to a personal tax under the law, and the non-taxation of which is unfair diserimination in the interests of labor unions. A demand will be made that the tax commissioners tax this money. President Barker of the tax commission is of the opinion that such organizations as are not corporate bodies cannot be taxed. Those which are incorporated are bject to taxation. He said also that the charges of the. Central Labor Union were not true. The apparently disproportionate tax on corporations is due to the fact that enly the surplus of ets over liabilities is taxed. Charge of ee LARGEST TOW OF COAL. Sixty Loaded Barges Taken Down the Ohio. CINCINNATI, Ohio, April 1—The tow- beat Raymond Horner passed down with the largest tow of coal ever floated on the Ohio, perhaps the largest on any river. It conta:ned sixty barges loaded with 600,000 bushels of coal, or 21,600 tons. This would freight 1,080 railway cars with twenty tons each, and would require forty-seven trains of forty cars each to haul it. At the rear of the tow a small steamer 1s attached crosswise to the current to throw the rear of the tow to the right or the left in pass- ing bends in the riv —>—__—_ FOUR YEARS IN PRISON. Dr. J. C.

The Northeast Washington Citizens’ As- sociation is after the Baltimore and Ohio railroad again. Today Chairman Frizzell of the committee on steam railroads pre- sented the following letter to the Com- missioners: “We beg to call your attention to the con- linuous violations of the speed law by the 3B. and O. Railroad Company during the past two or three weeks. The poles set up by your engineers, about three years ago, at 5th and at 8th streets, for the purpose of timing the traing, have been removed, and we most urgently request that you have cthers set in the same places and that the police officers be directed to see that your speed regulations be complied with. “And as the court records show the fail- ure of the attorney for the District to pros- ecute cases after arrest, we again request that we may be aliowed to employ, at our expense, a lawyer to assist in this class of prosecutions. “Under the license given railroad com- panies by your revocation of your own reg- ulations you may not be surprised at an early collision and a general massacre at any one of the grade crossings such as we read of nearly every day occurring at other places.” - — SHOCK IN BAD SHAPE. ‘The Lender in the Six-Day Race Loses Time Today. Shock, the leader of the six-day bicycle race at Convention Hall, left the track at 2:62 this afternoon, nearly played out. He seemed to have lost all energy. He was not off fifteen minutes before he returned and started in again at a slow pace. After riding a few laps, Shock again nt off and ate a good meal, which ap- peared to refresh him. Rivierre appeared on the track for the first time today at 2:30. Local Riders Matched. A match, has been arranged for Saturday evening at the close of the big race be- tween Fred Lewis and Geo. Ball, local pro- fessionals. The distance will be for twenty- five miles for a purse of $100 and a side bet of the same amount. ———— Fire at Cambridge, Pa. MEADVILLE, Pa., April 1.—Fire broke out at Cambridge Springs early this morn- ing, and at 1 o'clock this afternoon it was not ygt under control. It is feared that the entire business portion of the town will be destroyed. A steamer was sent by spe- cial train from here in response to a tele- gram for aid. * the Tariff Bill. No More Delay Then is Consistent ‘With the Ordinary Line of Opposition. It Is anticipated that the policy followed in the House by the democrats, with re- spect to the tariff bill, will be adopted by the democrats in the Senate. The domi- nating opinion at present is that the best possible course for the opposition is to do aH they can, without endangering their attitude of antagonism, to hasten action on the bill. At the democratic caucus of the House which chose Mr. Bailey of Texas as leader @ committee was appointed to look after party affairs, similar to the committees which look out for party policy in the Senate. = 2 This committee and some others of the democratic leaders held a conference to- day, having in view the co-operation of the democrats in both houses of Congress. It was agreed that such co-operation was greatly to be desired and that at the proper time there should be a conference between this committee and the corresponding com- mittee of the Senate representing the demo- crats. There was nothing to be done, how- ever, until some progress has been made with the tariff in the finance committee. There is some Irritation among democrats in the House over the interference on the bart of some of Mr. McMillin’s friends yes- terday with the plans of Mr. Bailey, which resulted in there being no closing argu- ments on the tariff bill. This incident illus- trated the disagreement between the two factions of the democrats, the interference being intended to prevent a vote on the amendments in bulk, which Bailey had agreed to in accordance with his policy of not obstructing or delaying action on the tariff. : It Is evident that a large majority of the democrats in the House agree with Mr. Bailey in this matter, and it is be- lleved that the sentiment in the Senete is strongly in favor of the same policy. All effort to commit the democrats to an obstructive policy is looked upon as a de- sign to hold the party to tariff as a pollti- cal issue in the next campaign, and is therefore resented by the radical silver men. therefore, that the plan to le obstruction to speedy action as is consistent with this attitude of opposition will be adopted by the Senate managers, cnd be co-operated in by demo- crats on both sides. It is the Intention of the populists and silver republicans in the Senate to refrain from voting, thus enabling the republicans to pass the bill without their support. —_—__-e— RIGHT OF ASYLUM. Its Exercise Discouraged by the Last Administration, In every instance where it was called upon to pass upon the right of asylum, the last administration was particular to make it clear to all United States ministers and consular officers that they must refrain from the extension of this right to refugees wherever possible to do so. In the foreign relations just published is a case in point, where Mr. Smythe, United States minister to Haiti, reported to the Department of State that he had asked the “usual cour- tesies” of the Haitian government to permit him to place upon some outgoing ship a Haitian subject who had come to him for asylum, being denounced as a political sus- pect. Mr. Olney quickly admonished the minister that he must not extend such pro- tection. He reminded him that the depart- ment had uniformly discouraged the prac- tice, as it did not claim the right to harbor such persons nor to withdraw them from the jurisdiction of their sovereign. The minister was therefore called upon to in- form the refugee that he could no longer receive the hospitality of the legation. WILL PROBABLY BE SETTLED. A Discontinuance of the Van Riswick Will Case Possibic. The contest over the estate of the late Mary Van Riswick will in all probability be settled out of court within a short time. Negotiations with that end in view are now pending between the respective par- ties, with every indication that an early settlement will be reached. Mrs. Van Riswick died in February, 1896, having two children, Mrs. Tallmadge A. Lambert and Mrs. Martina Carr. She dis- posed of her esjate, said to be valued at about $200,000, by will, made in Febru- ary, 1805. To Wilton J. Lambert, her only grandson, she left Van View, a suburban place, worth about $25,000, and to his two sisters, three houses. To Mrs. Carr, prem- ises 1413 K street were left for life, the income and profits from the residue of the estate being cqually divided between her and Mrs. Lambert, with remainder to their issue. Mrs. Carr contested the will, charging that it had been procured through the al- leged undue influence of her nephew. After a trial lasting several weeks, the jury set the will aside, Judge McComas refusing Mr. Lambert, the trustee and co-executor with Mrs. Carr, a new trial. During the trial, so it is said, Mrs. Carr offered to compromise. Her offer was not accepted, and since then it is understood that the other side made her a similar offer. In the expected settlement of the case. it is seid that the bequests to Mr. Lambert and his sisters will be agreed to, and that the residue of the estate will be equally divided between Mrs. Lambert and Mrs. Carr.

FALL IN VALUE OF THE COAL SHARES More Encouraging Advices Regard- ing the Cretan Dispute. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, April 1—By comparison with last night's weak closing level, open- ing prices this morning reflected advances varying from \% to 1% per cent. The pro- fessional attack on the coal shares, due to exaggerated reports of floods in the min- ing districts, was generally conceded to have been overdone. Accordingly an in- creased demand for these shares was en- countered ‘during the opening hour, a slightly higher level being established in consequence. Delaware and Hudson around 102 attract- ed new sales, however, and a sharp decline under par followed. At the extreme low level buying for covering purposes was at- tracted, which subsequently developed into excellent support, under which the high prices of the early morning were again established. During the first three months of the year the shares of this company have depre- clated 22 per cent, and those of its neigh- bor, New Jersey Central, more than 25 per cent. The hardships of the coal trade need no greater emphasis than are supplied by comparisons of this character. The reduction in Hudson's dividend in- vited the original liquidation, and Jersey Central has been constantly sold of late because a reduction in the present rate is expected at next Monday's meeting. In the case of the former property divi- dends are declared for the full year, while the latter rate is determined at the close of the quarter. The selling of the entire an- thracite group has attracted attention ty reason of its extreme boldness. Without significant lNquidation the present sub- stantial results would have been practically impossible. The rallies during the final hour in these shares were due principally to covering, and the street is still at loss to determine the future character of the trading. The Gould shares, Western Union in par- ticular, under the influence of sales credited to both accounts. The dividend agitation is being used in the room to depress the price of the security named, as well as pros- pective competition of an active character. The railway list was moderately weil sustained under a narrow volume of busi- ress. Foreign houses were moderate buy: ers because of more encouregirg advices from the Cretan districts. London houses generally have been disappointed with the course of the local market during the week, especially since foreigr inves were weak throughout the day, @ strong opening, but almost immediately regained one-half of its loss, and ruled firm, slightly above last night's level. The passage of the tariff bill had almost no influence on the general market. A week ago a sentimental advance of sul stantial proportions was predicted to fol low prompt action on the part of the House. It is now well understood that a period of doubt and uncertainty is ahead, and that apprehension is likely to follow certain tactics already devised to insure radical amendments. The final result not expected to work hardships to any o: the interests legislated upon, but the mar. ket must feel, fora time, the effect of the several threats to destroy profitable duties. The net changes for the day were, in the main, favorable. ——_---—_ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
