Henry E.' Davis- Said to Be So-lected to Succeed Mr. Bimy

AT THE WHITE HOUE

The President today brought to an andthe long season of expectancy whid theDistrict democracy has gone through Inrelation to Diptrict appointments. At least.so far as one office is concerned, thereis no longer any doubt, for the Presidenttoday noninated Mr. Albert A. Wilson tosucceed Mr. Ranedell as United Statesmarshal foO the District of Columbia.This nomlnation is taken by the District

democracy as an Indication that the Pres-ident has taken up for consideration themsaer of Dtsiet appointments, and -hatthey E expoe ether appointments suoa.

Mr. Albert A Wilma.Mr. A. A. Wilson Is a native Washing-

tenlan. He was born in this city April 1,1840. He was one of the first students toattend the Emerson Institute. Later heattended school in Alexandria. Va., underthat well-remembered Instructor. BenjaminHallowelk and then graduated from Galn-gher's Business Cpnlge in Baltimore at theage of twenty years. He first Imbarked inthe shoe business, but soon afterward wentInto real estate.In 1mSI Mr. Wiles was called to the

United States marmaalship for the District,ad .made a good record during Mr. Cleve-lands Mrst administration. He has beenpresident of the Fireapen's Insurance Corn-

Albough thee. ". bees consid.a.doubt as to who of * "e wwpek X aar-shal. within the last two or three da ithas been pretty well Understood that Mr.Wibon would be appointed. It has beengenerally believed that he was Mr. Cleve-lands choice fOr the ofce at this tims butsome doubt had been valsed by the Presi-dent's general poliy not to reappoint menwho held office under him before.The marshal of' the District comes into

close relationship with the President. how-ever, so It is a case where the Presidentwould be likely to ce9asult his personalpreferences inore than he would in Slingother o01es.

Marshal Ramadell Ready t049.A few days after Mr. Cleveland entered

upon his second term, It is known thatMarshal Ranodell called upon him to as-sure him that he was prepared at any timeto hand in his resignation. The Predent,It is said, informed Mr. Ransdell that hehad not then given the matter any atten-tion, and requested him to continue in officeuntil he should be told that the Presidentfound time to consider the matter. It wasstated today that not until one day lastweek did Marshal Ransdel receive an in-timation that he might soon expect thenomination of his successor. Then, it issaid, the marshal was sent for by the Pres-ident, and upon calling At the White Housesaw Private Secretary Thurber, the Presi-dent being absent, and was informed thathe might expect the nomination of his suc-cessor in a e'e dayb.

It was also stated today that In that con-versation Marshal Ranadell received a In-timation that the man whomn he succeede:1fouar years ago -the 1st of July last, wouldsucceed him.Marshal Ranedell, when seen by a Star

reporter this afternoon, before the nomin-ations went to the Senate, maid:"If Mr. Wilson should succeed me I feel

sure that not only would I be much pleas-ed, but also, I believe, the people of theDistrict, for Mr. Wilson is not only an ex-cellent man, but also made an excellentreputation as marshal for the District.When I relinquiah the office my greatestregret will be that my relations with thepeople of the District will cease. I camehere a stranger, but I have been accordedsuch uniform akindness and considerationthat I shall return to my home In Indian-spols feeling that I have . really twohomes."

A 1New Distriet Atterney.It was also said today that the President

had considered the matter of appointing asuccessor tb District Attorney Birney andhad decided to appoint Mr. Henry id. D)avas.This nomination, according to the report,is also algut ready to go to the Senate.There will be some stirprise at the nomina-

tion of a new district attorney, inasmuch asthe incumbent, Mr. Birney, has served onlyabout a year -of his four years' term. Theearly change contemplated In this office, itis said. involves no reflection on the actionof President Harrison in making the ap-pointment so near the end of his administra-tion. Mr. Davis was summoned to theWhite lioure this morning and had a non-ference with the President. It is said thatthe position of district attorney was thentendered Mr. Davis.

FORD'S THEATER DISASTER

FRhSt Neutlg or the seleaoSste Invwa-soag Omnei .

The Qeveraneat to Pay Damage. forDeath and 1.j,'y - COl. Alan-

worth to be umanasse

The select committee of the Benate for theinvestigation of the For's Theater disaster,composed of Senators Harris. White of Call-forn&, Faulkner, McMillan and Minderson,met at 10:30 this morning In the office of theDi:stict committee and continued in sessionfor an hour. The meeting, which was heldbehind closed doors, was attended by all ofthe members of the committee except Sen-ator Faulkner, who is now on his weddingtour. U4ttle was done beyond formal organ-iZation, with Mr. Miliran as clerk. It waswithout debate agreed that the committeeshould recommend to the Senate that thesufferers from the disaster and the heirs of.those who were killed should in equity andjustice receive compensation for damagesfrom the gove:nment. There was Do dissentfrom this proposition, which was first sug-gested by Senator Mande'son.

Col. Alumworth to Ie Examined.A resolution was pased calling upon Col.

Ainsworth. chief of the record and pensiondivision. War Department, to appear beforethe committee at Its next meeting, on Mon-day next at 10:30 o'clock. He will then beexamined &s to the details of the accident,the number of persons employed in thebuilding at the time of the disaster and thenumber, names and conditions of those whowere injured and the names of those whowere killed. In short the subcommittee in-tends first to secure an accurate officialstatement that will cover the entire groundto establish the fact of the accident and itsresults.

It is not probable. in view of the under-standing expressed this morning that thegovernment should pay damages, that in-quiry will be made at length into the mat-ter of responsibility for the disaster beyondthe official assurance that the clerks whowere killed and Injured were in no wayliable by their own negligence,The Inquiry Simp4Ued.

This understanding or agreement willgreatly simplify the inquiry, which canthus be confined to an investigation of theparticular and individual cases. As soonas Col. Ainsworthbho furnished the com-mittee with an accurate and odicial list ofthe names of the dead and Injured, as wenM the uninjured survivors, witnesses Wilhe rapidly called to establish the eactamount of injury sustained by thors whowore afected by the disaster. Of coursethis testimony will have to be suppeament-ed by considerable medical evidence and inall a good many witnesses will prbably

CAN'T SJatE HANDgThbe. TIMee a Week and Attend to

Pubsie Dammaees, Too.It is said at the White House that no ar-

rangements have been made for a feunmp-tio of .the tri-weekly atternoon receptionsto the public, and so fir as knowa the ideahas now been abManoned by the. Prsident,eMes It1 had been entertained by him, as

land, daring- his JIrt tOn. and were con-tinued by President Harrison throughouthis term. President Cleveland held atter-noon receptions for several days after the4th of March last for the special beneft ofthe many strangers who had come to thecity to attend the inauguration.

ince the Presment return from GrayGables at the assembling of the extra so-sion of Congress the White House has wit-nessed none of the ordinary afternoon I*-ceptions to the public. The President hasreceived visitors In the east room during

tat time on two or three occasions, suchthe call of delegates of some scientific or

religious convention, but the only real free.-for-all reception at the White House sinceearly last spring was that on New Yearday. Under the old regime the Presidentwould spend from five to fifteen minutes inthe east room at 1 o'clock on Mondays,Wednesdays and Saturdays, and the visit-Wng public found it a great convenience inpaying their respects to the chief magis-trate of their country. It is new said thathis regular official duties take up all thePresident's time, and that be finds he willhave to discontinue his afternoon recep-tions, no matter bow short they may be.

MAJ. TUOOKNORTO1S CASH.

The Question of mis Right to salarystill Undeternined.

It is said at the War Department todaythat the question of the right of Maj. C.B. Throckmorton, second artillery, to drawa salary from the governenent out of theappropriation for the army, while he isdrawring a salary from the city of NewYork as assistant superintendent of thestreet cleaning department, Is still unset-tIed, it will be passed upon in the firstInstance by the pay depcrtment of thearmy, and if payment is made to him asusual by the army paymaster, the questionas to Its legality will subsequently be con-sidered by the accounting officers of thetreasury In settling the accounts of thepaymaster. In the event of their holdingthat the payment was Improperly made,the amount will be checked against thepaymaster and will have to be made goodby him unless he should be subsequentlyrelieved therefrom by act of Congress. Theonly question involved In this case iswhether the civil position now held byMaj. Throckmorton Is an "oitice" withinthe meaning of the statute which providesthat an officer of the army, acceptiag anoffice cutside of the military service, there-by vacates his commission In the armyThere are many officers at the War Depart-ment who say that Maj. Thz'ockmorton hasviolated this statute, but there are manyothers who have doubts on the subject,based mainly on the theory that as he Isunder suspension his status, ,in regard tooutside employment, is different from thatof an otticer on active service. The actionof the reviewing authorities will be awaitedwith interest in army circles.
