Elarrison Sald to Favor Corporal Tanner for That Position. THOUGHT TO BE AN ELDORADO. Lower Ualifornia Supposed to Con- tain Rich Gold Minrs—Sug- gested That the United States Buy It 518 FoURTEENTA STRRET, Wasnivartox, D, C., March 16. Up till a late hour to-day the New York politicians in Washington were unabio to de- termine from what they could learn whether the president had finally made up his mind 10 appoint a New York man at alt as com- missioner of pensions, Some were of the opinion that he would select Corporal Tan- ner, of Brooklyn, others that Major Poole, of Syracuse, would have the lead, while still more thought that neither of these gentlemen would be sclected, but that Mr. Hart, of Brooklyn, would receive the appointment as public printer. This afternoon, however, & number of leading republicans from Illinois called on the president to present the claims of an Illinois man for the vension commis- sionership, and to talk about other matters. Before they left the president’ gave them to understand that he had determined to ap- WASHINGTOX BUREAU Tre OMAna Bre, } point Corporal Tanner. If this is a fact, and it scoms to-night as though it really is, there 18 very little chance for the appoiniment of a New York man as public printer. The Ppresident has not distributed his appoint- ments with any particular eye to the geo- raphical locatjon of the individual candi- e, but if & Now York man should be so- lected for public printer, there can be littlo ‘doubt that the indorsements which have boen vresented in behalf of Mr. Hart are stroug enough to give him the place against all com- petitors, But Mr. Hart resides in Brooklyn, and it is mot likely that the president even while ignoring to a great degree geo- graphical lines, could think of giving to this one city the important places of secretary of the navy, cammssioner of pensions and pub- licprinter. Ho realizes that the country of Kings was largely instrumental in carrying the state of New York for the republican ticket, but even his desire to reward the men who made this possible would bardly lead him to give three of the very best places in his gift to this one city. LOWER CALIFORNIA. General Vandever, of Californin, who last session introduced a'bill for the acquisition of Lower California, said to-day: “Lower California is_exciting considerable intercst on account of the alleged gold discoveries in that region. If the stories tbat are told of the recent finds prove to be even partiaily true, a tidal wave of immigration wili flood that country from the United States that will overwhelm ali opposition to American ocoupation, some from what quarter it may. There is no good reason why American and Mexican adventurers may not mingle in LowerCalifornia in generous rivairy in their Bearch for gold, but if the Internaiional com- pany that has obtained a precarious and con- tingent title to much of the country, under- takes through the importation of Chincse coolie lubor to assert its claim to the right of working the mines, trouble of a very serious nature will certainly result. Tn such a con tingenoy the International company claim will not be respeoted, nor will the Chinese be permitted to operate under its auspices nor for its benenit. Whatever re- wards muy bo gained by operating the pro- Jific gold fields in Lower California, must fnsure to the people of the two republics, and not to the International company, which is believed to be little else than the agent of un English syndicate. The suggestion of an amicable acquisition of the title to Lower California by the United States, made in congress at its late session, scems to be par- ticulurly distasteful to the International company. - The reasonnbleness of that pro- ‘position under the changed conditions by the events of a few months of mining excite- ‘ment may change the,ewhoie aspect of the question. Possibly the intercsts of both Mexico and the United States may, sooner than is now apparent, require American oc- cupation, if not the purchase of the country, but the occupation must in any event be 1 peacetul und mutually honorable and accept- able to both countrics, though disastrous to the speculative values of the International company, operating in the interest of En- glish capital und English greed. i AIMY MATTERS, It is oue of the awbitions of a rezular arniy officer to obtain a position in one of the staft départments, where promotion is more rapid, grades are higher, the duties are more agree- able and the stations more pleasant. The Dest indications of this general desire is found in the swrife thab always takes place ‘whenever a vacancy occurs in one of these attractive havens, ‘it frequently being the case that five officers of the line are applicants for the place, while it is not unusual to find the number running up to a hundred. There are already, it is understood, upwards of u hundred applicants for the 'vacancies that will be caused by the promotions inci- dent to the retiremont of ;Adjutant General rum on the 28th of May.” The position will e thut of an assistant adjutant general. There has always been, since the war, mucn rivalry between the graduates of the mili- tary academy und those officers appointed to the arniy from the volunteers or from civil nfe, cspecially in regurd to the wmatter of staff appointwents, and neither side has been slow to' claim an undue preference given to the other, The following memorandum. prepared by an nrmy oflicer with great care, shows the exact mumber of oficers in the various stafl depart- ments, with reference to the source of the Bppoiutments, It shows the state of the Slafl at the present time, and excludes the engineor ordinance corpl, chaplains and medical corps, since they are not open to eneral appointment from the army.

The Bars Olose as Usual But for a Longer Time, “Sure, we can get so dhrunk to-night that we'll know nothing about it at all, till 'tis Monday,” said an anti-Sunday-closing orator last nignt, as he leaned up against the bar, looking around for some one with enough money to pay for his getting drunk, Some- how the boys did not respond as cheerfully as of yore, and seomed to be lost in the study of a financial problem _that resolved itself into tSe question of how they would pass the Sunday when they could not ““run their faces.” One or two were wise in their generation, and after throwing out more signs to the bartender than would gain entrance to any Masonic lodge in the country, found their way behind the icebox, and secured a flask unbeknownst to thecomrades in distress. But this was only among the great unwashed. Along Doug- las, Harney, Fifteenth and Sixteenth street it was different and the sports took their drinks quietly, unconsciously endorsing the scriptural text, “Take no thought for the morrow, for sufficiont unto the day is the evil thereof.”” There was an air of e're all right” and *‘side entrances” about them thatspoke of a life-long nequaintanch with the proprictors, but somehow they were not inclmed to give tips—as they do at the races—as to the plans on which y based their hopes. Alongside of them were the staid business men who only wanted a drink once in a while, and then want “somethiug good.” As a rule they got it—good enough to kill on the lowa side of the river a weck after date—but they carried it away, and the bar-tenders figured up how nuch vitroil, fusil oil and other chemicals they had sold to just such suckers, without reckoning how many constitutiol they would shatter, or stomachs they would turn sick, “Tyill be the dhryest St. Patrick’s day 1 know of since I fell into the pond at ° rels' Pass, gone on twenty-soven years ago next Sunday,” said a geptleman who came in from Wahoo to attend to-morrow’s celebration, ‘‘an’ if I'd known of it in time, I'd hev stayed where I was.” He meant it, too, and the friends he had around him told 'stories of the daye of long ago in Ireland. “I've been wanting a Sunday off fora long time, and it just fits my clothes,” mur- mured a bartender, not loud eno ugh for the boss to hear him, as he mechanically asked the rovorter, “‘What is it!’ and put the usual glass before him. “I'm going across the bridge to Council Bluffs and have a chance to double my divy or go broke,” he con- tinued, whilé the reporter Jooked through the bottom of the glass and thought he saw what 4 long walk it was back to Omaha and how lonely it would be to come ucross the bridge at midnight afoot. But the hours rolled on and as the bells rang out the time of closing, the fang was turned out as usual, the electric ights secmed to fight for the shadows they threw on the streets, and then as Omaha took another step in the interest of morality and Sunday observance, the reporter took an unlimitea unmber of stéps to the office.

They were clever, original and with a ton- dency to spectacular minstrelsy, that in the end made for them a great reputation and placed them in the front rank of minstrel performers. The name that this company has already made in its visits is the very blghest proof of the high estimation in which itis held by the publie. e THE DIRT UNDISTURBED. Contractors For Cleaning Strects Object to Cleaning The; Street sweeping has been suspended, The eontractors, Charles J. Funning & Co., and board of public works, are at loggerheads. The flun which has the coniract to sweep the pubiic thoroughfares, will not resume work until after it has had legal adyice as to what to do. The contract provides for the swoeping of all paved streets and all streets that are hercafter paved during the existence of it Mr. Fanning states that the board of pub- lic works expects him to swoep and clean streets upor which are ten or twelve inches of dirt, If he removes the trash and rubbish that bas accumuluted thereon, he Says it weuld cost the firm over 3,000 if cleanod now under the instructions of the board of public works.

Patrick Banquet, Nrw Yomrk, March 16.—Ex-President Grover Cleveland mgde his first appearance as a private cWken jn New York this even- 10g at the 105th annigersary dinher of the Friendly Sons qf trick, at Delmonico's. He received an ovation which could not be excolled in point afwarmth and sociability. Heo was att ® in o dress suit and entered the hall on the arm of Joseph J. O'Donoghue. He took asoat on the right of lhn‘tfl ing office; while Mayor Grant was givef n cotresonding seat on the other side. The dining room was appropri- ately daaped with American and Irish colors. Joseph J. O'Donoghtie, as president of the organization, presidea at the cen- tral table, and ‘when the ban- quet had ended, first introduced ex- Chief Justice Daly, of this city, who spoke to the toast, ‘“The Day We Celebrate,”” after which a murmur of anticipation filled the hall, for all knew that the ex-president was next on the list, and to him had beon assigned the duty of responding to tho sentiment, *‘The United States.” %\'!u\n the president’s brief introduction concluded with Cleve- land’s name the diners cheered lustily. While the din was at its height, Cleveland, his face a trifio pale, slowly arose and acknowledged-the recoption given him The cheering having finally subsided, Cleve- land, speaking clearly and easily, said: *“The words to which I respond give rise to such various and impressive reflectiona that 1 find it dificult to determine the line of thought which should be followed. What is naturally and obviously suggested vy tho sentiment proposed is a country marvelous in its growth and developments, great in its power and wealth, and free in the characters of its institutions and spirits of its people, There is also suggested a broad’ and hospitable country, which opens its gates to the people of all nations who arevwilling to assume the duties of American cit p in exchange for a share in the blessings which God has in store for the Americun people. Nor can it be said that . in national selfishness und sordid con- plaicency our country is blind to the welfara of othe Wheorever there exists a struggle fora freer government and for man’s en- franchisement, there will be found the mid and sympathy of the people of the United States. In this we but follow the prompt- ings which our free condition inspire, and acknowledge tho contribution we have received from the sturdy men of other lands to our population and to every element of our greatuess, *‘But other nations, too, are great; they are prosperous and rich, and in a measure they ave frec. ‘States’ muy mean any organ- ized government—tyrannical, monarchial or free. It 1s, therefore, most important that we do not miss the reflection that ‘the United States’ alone stands for one government always free, and founded upon human rights _ and cquality before the law. Our nationdl lifa is inseparable from this union of states. "Thus it was launched upon its carcer among the nations of the earth., Its machinery is suted to no other condition and its success depends upon it. Whatever might be the achievements of separate and disinterested states, nothing but the triumph of ‘the United States’ can fully demonstrate in the eyes of the world the success of the Ameri- can experiment of self-government, **We should not be content with venera- tion for those who made us a nation, nor with sacred and grateful remembrance of those who shed ther. blood and gave their lives for its pempetpation. We, too, owe duty to ‘the United §tates.” We can, at least, teach fratérnity and toleration, the sure foundations 9f* our unity and of our country’s life. 1f these iessons are firmly es- tablished in the hparts of our countrymen we shall, to the ejtent that we aid in this consummation, parform the duty required of us in our day and’ generation. = Let us then cultivate real and genuine generosity and fraternal kindness @mong all our people, Let us resolve that no-partisan exigency shall ex- cuse the creation or keeping alive of irrita- tion and jealousy atong® pcople, all charged with the safety, development and triumph of American institutions. Our destiny is be- fore us. It can only bo reached by union and harmony. We are not called upon to surrender or jeopardireany of the results in | favor of our union we may have gained in its armed defense, but kather ‘to “foster and se- cure those results through patriotism and magnanimity. In the presence of the duty God has laid upan us as a nation it should never be forgotten that failure waits on dis- sension and division, and that grudging ac- knowledgement of common brother- hood or healthy co-operation in the ocommon patriotic purpose will surely check our vational progrees. In this assemblage, where 8o large a representa- tion is found of a race which in all_stages of our national lifo has done so much to make our country great, and whese Hearts at this time turn lovingly to their brethren who struggle for the blessings which are here en- joyed, know that reference to any clement of our frecdom and happiness will meet with aheartfelt response. Here, rezardless of place of bivthor of former allegiance, we meet as American citi proud of our country, devoted to her intersts and pros- perity, and wishing with enthusiasm for favored, the happiness, freedom, st nd place which are found in ‘the United States.' Foliowing Cleveland’s speech, which was chi d liberally during its utterance snd at the close, cume’ these speakers io the toasts named: *Ireland,” John , Virginia; “State of New York,” B .

The main attraction was the ten mile whoel race between “Senator” Morgan and Lawler's Eden Musee Unknown, for 81,000 a side. Manager Prince, however, with his customary foresight, had prepared an inter- esting and varied programme, outside of the premior ovent of the evening, and the ball opened with a slow “byking” race between amateurs Kastmaa, Kletcher, Taggar and Holten, It was for two laps, and after numerous ludicrous mishaps, Fletcher won the novel contest by a couple of lengths, Next came little Wilbur Knapp, and Major Jack Kineman and Signor Mardis in a five mile wheel race, Knapp giving his opponents handicap of six laps. After a_close and thrilling chase, the indomitablo Knapp won by a small margin. Time—15: Following this came the Rambler's club race for the coliseumn medal race, distunco three miles.

Young P er pitehed seven zames for Cleveland last year, und won all of them but two. Heis a good one sure. He 18 not only a prime fielder in the box, but is extremely clever between the limes, and a striker of no mean ability. Willis pitched last year for Portsmouth, and when he was in the box Portsmouth invaria- bly won. Willis also buts and runs bases in great style, Clarke you know about. An- drews on fi is all that can be desired, a great hitter and fuir base ruuner, Cleveland at short is not only one of the cleverest in the business, but the prettiest thrower on the dinmond to-day, and he's a hitter from Hitterville, Inthe field there is DMessity, Lenghton and Joo Str all good men, both us ficlders, on the bases and at the bat, For backstops we are solid.
