men and athletes, and many bankers,
brokers and merchants. Half q
dozen Kickapoo Indians came In early
In the evening TO give their friend Nitaw-

ured during the day and was found TO Ue

wide and foot In thickness. During the
day Winston II. Burrill, colored man
from Pennsylvania, was admitted as an
eutry. He is carpet cleaner. Colonel
Hamilton Busby, Of the Turf, Field and

cheers from all parts of the building. AL
the other contestants had come in before
this and were preparing for their tramp.
Most of them had passed in unnoticed by
the crowd. At few minutes of l2 the men
came out from their quarters and the

Tho 5000 pounds of gun cotton brought
from England by the Alert will be used on
tho Greedy relief expedition in breaking a
passage through the ice in case it should be
found necessary to do so. 1t was necessary
to purchase this cotton in England, as IL was
found impraoticable to obtain so largo q
quantity in this country within the limited
time. Tho tug Triana has been ordered to
New York from Newport with corps of
experts to arrange the gun cotton on the
vessels of the expedition, 80 as to have it
ready for immediate use. Chief Naval Con-
structor Wilson has gone to New York to
inspect the Alert.
The detail of officers for tho Alert has boon
made, and they have been detached from
duty and ordered to the Alert, as follows:
Commander George W. Coffin, from tempo
rary duty at the New York navy yard;
Lieut. Badger, executive, from special duty
at New York; Lieut.. II. j. Hunt, from tho
Washington navy yard, Ensign g. S. McClain,

After Years OF Harmless Crhntiness He
Now Goes TO the Asylum.
"Col." Maurice Pinchover, the terror Of men,
bers of congress and lawyers, together with his
claim against the government for 81, 100000
0O0 more or less, was yesterday sent to the In
sane asylum on recommendation of DR.. Toner.
The bent form and wrnkled face Of this old
patriarch, and his shrill voice and Jewish
dialect will be sadly missed. The colonel was
originally tailor and for time prosperous
citizen. About twelve years ago. however,
while standing in the house of representatives
gallery, he created considerable excitement
by charging fraud on tho part of member
who was speaking. He was forcibly elected,
and an examination into the condition of his
mental faculties made, and he was declared
to be insane.
OF late the colonel's particular hobby was
that he had been defrauded out Of fabulous
amount of railway stock, which he was
always trying to collect from congress. At
the opening of the present session of congress
he appeared on the floor of the house armed
with q certificate written on the paper of n
prominent restaurant as representatives,
large of Baltimore. lie was not successful in
securing his seat, however, and every day and
far into the night his familiar form could be
seen around the leading restaurants and tho
courts. He was popular among the men about
town, and assisted to carry out many practi-
cal jokes. He appeared in new suit of
cloths on Monday, while upon his head rested
new tile. When questioned as to the
source of his income he said, Congress hev

May 1. Mr. Knox has accepted the presi-
dency of the National Bank Of the Republic

Among those whose names have been sug-
gested in connection with the vacancy left
by Mr.. KnoX's resignation are John s. Lang

twelve years. oftentimes discharging tho
duties of comptroller for months at time !;
ex.Treasurer Gilflan, Mr.. Cannon, a

sonal friend OF Senator Sabin Mr.. L. o.
Graves, of the treasurer's office, and Mr..
Charles l.. Coon, who was recently promoted
to the place left vacant by the resignation of
Assistant Secretary New. 1t seems to be the
general belief in the department that Mr..
Knox's place will be filled by the promotion
of some treasury officer, who through long
service has become acquainted with its duties.
