It is announced that probably all three OF the
District of Columbia Commissioners will accept
the appointments, and enter at once upon ad-
ministering the government of the District.
Mr. Dennison is in Washington, and MIR. Blow
and Mr.. Cattell will reach there to-day. The
fact that the interest on the four million loan
comes due on the lst of July, and that large
portion of it is to be paid in Europe, has made
it requisite for the Commissioners to organize
promptly 10 order to save the financial credit OF
the District. The people of the District, says
the Star, have every confidence in the new
Commissioners Congress has placed l,3oO,-
600 at their disposal for paying the immediate
obligations of the District and conducting its
government, and their first duty will be to
make disbursements on account OF interest and
payments due to mechanics and laborer>

ments to retire the whole of the mutlated ma
tional bank currency and replace it with fresh
and new currency. as provided in the third sec
ton of the new currency law. The reduction
of the national bank circulation so as to give
the West and South their due share will not
for the present pecessitate any call upon the
banks having an excess, as there is about
s5,OOO,OO of circulation of banks that have
suspended that will probably supply the de-
mand for year to come.

REGATTA. some time past there has
been much controversy among river men as to
the comparative sailing qualities Of the yachts
Fannie Bell and Spray. The former has been
flying the challenge flag OF her class, and so far
she is entitled to that honor. Yesterday even
Jog at 800 clock, favorable breeze blowing
the rival yachts got into position at Seventh
street wharf for race down the river, rounding
the buoy off the light house below Alexandria
and return. ln the attempt to start the boats
touled each other and the topmast of the Fan
ME Bell was broken of, and the Spray had her
maiusail badly torn. However, the yachts got
away 10 few minutes after repairs had been
made, the Fannie Bell in the lead. This ad-
vantage she maintained until off the coal-yard
at Alexandria, when the Spray passed her.
At this time sudden flaw of wind struck the
latter boat, and she was capsized, her crew be-
ing thrown into the water. The crew righted
the boat without assistance after while, but
the accident virtually put an end to the race,
and the Fannie Bell walked over the course.
One of the crew of the Spray was taken ashore
in row. boat, after the capsizing. The OWL
ers of the Spray are not satisfied with the re-
suit of yesterdays race, and they insist upon
renewal of the contest. Perhaps no race that
has occurredupon the river has occa stoned so
much feeling as this, and the amount Of money
that has changed hands on the result has been

AN IMPORTANT ISSUE The Baltimore and
Philadelphia Railroad Company have notified
the Postmaster General that from and after the
lst of July they will not haul the United States
postotfice cars over their road, but will carry
the mails as formerly like other freight, charg-
ing full fare for every employee Of the Post
Office Department who goes over the road.
The Postmaster General will then begin suit in
the United States courts to compel the road 10
take their postal cars. It's held by the COM
paDy that the United States cannot require
them to carry the mails in given way, So long
as they are not consulted as to the price to be
paid. The suit will be made test case, and
whichever way it is decided will most likely, in
view Of it's Importance, be carried to the Su
prone Court OF the United States.

HALLUcINATIoN.-A remarkable case has
just been tried iu London, and the accused &C
quilted. A young man, aged twenty'one years,
was charged with the murder of his aunt, a
marrid woman, with whom, as we'll as her hus-
baud, the prisoner had always been ON friendly
and even affectionate terms. She was found
hanging to the balusers Of the house, where
herself and the prisoners mother and sister
lived, her feet touching the ground. The ac
cused told three different persons that he hung
his aunt, but the evidence was otherwise, and
the jury acquitted hun, with the belief that,
upon his going hastily into the house, he became
so surprised aud alarmed at the sight of the
dead woman that he was seized with the hal
Inclination that he himself had hanged her.
just how long it would take to educate an Am
erican jury up to the "halucination" business
is not known.
