The President has decided to give no formal enc
tertafnments, either dinners or receptions, this
week, but expects to receive next Tuesday even-
ing, the nth. It is probable that reception will be
for the gentlemen and ladies OF the foreign lega-
tions and the army and navy officers with their
families, and not for the public generally.
Receptions by day and night have been gener-
ally suspended this week, and shopping is almost
the only social diversion which brings our ladies to-
gether The dressmakers and milliners are kept
constantly busy preparing costumes and bonnets
which will be first worn In public on Easter Sum
day: The pretty custom OF sending to friends
cards and other souvenirs at Easter, which a few
years ago was almost entirely unknown here, has
steadily grown In favor and doubtless there VIII be
more OF such remembrances exchanged this year
t ian ever before.
The Chinese minister and Interpreter and few
others OF the legation, will leave here In about
week for New York, to sail from there for Europe
on the 18TH They will go TO Spain, and the minis
ter will present his credentials there. and re-
turn here In about four months. His wife will
remain at the legation here. The few who have
seen her, as some have done when she has Do
peared at the window or the legation, or on the
rare occasions when she has gone for a drive, de-
scribe her as being very beautiful

Needed Improvement OF Important
ThOrOughfares.
IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE DISTRICT
COMMISSIONERS.
The Commissioners OF the District sent the fol-
lowing communication to the District committees
OF Congress:
APRIL 4th, 1882
Hon. JOHN j. INGALLS,, chairman committee on the
Dist of Col, U. 8. Senate:
SIR: The Commissioners desire to call the atten-
ton Of your committee to the pressing demand
which exists for the immediate extension and Inn
provement OF many important thoroughfares in
These improvements, in the order Of their I'M
portance, may be specified as follows:
lst The removal and replacement of about ten
miles OF decayed wooden pavementS
I'd. The improvement OF important avenues and
streets within the present city limits, which have
never been paved or improved.
Sd. The extension, according to surveys and To-
cations now In progress OF several Of the principal
avenues and streets beyond the present city limits
The first and second OF these classes of improve
feeng the pube heath ana ana ey
justice to Taxpayers who have been burdened for
years by the payment Of heavy taxes for which
they have received no just equivalent
The extension Of several Of the principal ave-
nues and streets beyond the present city boundary
Is a @ work which cannot longer be delayed without
the risk OF greatly increased cost and difficulty In
the future enlargement OF Washington, and has
already become necessity II Its present plan is
to be preserved and extended over the Outlying
territory OF the District.
AS 1t Is manifest that the current revenues OF the
District are entirely inadequate to accomplish
these necessary improvements within any reason
able time, they respectfully request that the COM
mittee will recommend an advance or approprta-
ton for this purpose OF say $780, 900 or 81 COO TO
be reimbursed by annual instalments from the
District revenues
As the United States stand charged on the books
OF the special assessment Office with the sum OF
$S2i 265 04 assessed for Improvements made by the
District in front OF the federal property. and as
Congress has absolute control of the District rev
enueS the Commissioners think this request Is rea-
s0nable and the advance be made 1t would enable
them to provide at once many urgent and almost
indispensable improvements, the want OF which
must otherwise remain for many years subject
OF continual complaint by citizens retard the
growth and prosperity OF the capital, mar It's
present magnificent plan, and indirectly involve
great loss OF revenue
In order to secure an impartial application OF
the funds advanced, the selection OF streets and
avenues TO be improved and extended could be em.
bodied In the act making the appropriation.
By order OF the Board.
Very respectfully,

The Star Route Cases.

1t Is probable that Judge WyIe will not an
nounce his decision In the star route cases on the
motion Of defendants to quash the indictments for
some days to come As may be supposed, there is
much interest in the NATTER for upon his decision
depends the validity OF not only the indictments
against all the parties involved in the star route
cases, excepting MesSrs Brodt and LlIey (whose
cases were bailed for COURT, and the straw bond
cases. but the indictment against A c. SOteldo for
the murder OF A. NJ SOteldO. From the fact that
Judge Wylte yesterday made an order directing
the coroner to file his report OF inquests in the
