UNDER THE FLASHING TON MONUMENT

When President Cleveland reflects upon the
vast sum that members OF his Cabinet and other Gov
ernment officials must have squandered yesterday on
smoked glass; he cannot fail to see the proprety OF iss
ing order aboshing ecpses. It's an era OF economy
s understood thatth next batch of nominations sent
TO the Senate will include the following:
Thomas +. Grady, Of New-York. to be Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Penipotentiary to Siberia
william Purcell of Rochester to be Consul at
Botany Bay.
Samuel Burchard, OF Gotham, TO be Chaplain OF the
White House and Spiritual Adviser to the Cabinet.

LINES OF MILITARY ADVANCF.

Mr.. MacGahan considered Russian invasion
of India to be wholly impfacticable without a
Gordon of railways. What progress has been
made in this respect since the fall of khiva and
other Khanates7 The projected line from
Samara to Samarcand has not been laid and
there is no longer on the part of the Russian
stats any wild talk of concentrating an army of
1OO,O men at Kerki and reaching the HndoO
Koosh in twenty days. The alternative route
from the Caspian is the only one which is now
seriously considered by the military engineers.
This is Sir Henry Rawlnson's parallel with
Herat as an intermediate station. Some pro-
gress has been made on this line, but it is in
sufficient to justify aggressive military opera
tions.
The garrisOns ordinarily stationed in Turkes-
tan are barely large enough to keep the barbar
Gus population under subsection. If any adj
vance were planned on a large scale, railways
would be required for the transportation of an
army and for forwarding regular supplies OF
provisions and munitions OF war across the
deserts. Such an army would have to be drawn
from the shores of the Black Sea- BatOum is
connected by railway both with Tihis and with
Baku on the Caspian. and would be the first
base of military supplies. From Baku steamers
reach MchailOvsk on the west shore in single
day, and thence the ans-Caspian railway runs
144 miles to Kizl-Arvat. Reinforcements
from the Caucasus and from the Crimea can be
rapidly concentrated at the present terminus
of the railroad; but Sarakhs, the headquarters
for the advance column, lies 800 miles away
and Herat 200 miles beyond Sarakhs. Surveys
have been made for the greater portion of the
distance, but the railway according to the latest
authentic information has not been extended
beyond Kizil-Arvat. British India is nearly
400 mestO the east of Herat, and being hanked
by great range of mountains is well-nigh I'M
pregnable. With gap of over 400 miles in
the railway between KiziI-Arvat and the Rus
sian outposts, it is plain that the staff is not pre-
pared to concentrate large army for opera
tions in Western Afghanistan, to say nothing of
India.
The simplest explanation of the Russian ad-
vance is that it was premature and based upon
miscalculations in st. Petersburg. The staff
was not ready for an aggressive movements the
railway had not been completed to Sarakhs and
large body Of troops had not been massed.

was to be dispatched from Bombay and London

HIGGINS AGAIN.

Virgins prophecy of terrible storm. with earth
quakes and unparalleled tides for Tomorrow some
how does not create the universal excitement that
attended his announ cements two years ago. III
was in November 1882, that he sent to the Presi-
dent his direful warning that the greatest storm
since Washngton's day would visit the United
States on March 1888. 1t was first to appear In
the North Pacific skip by q mighty bound 10 the

advised mooring all vessels in harbor for three
days beginning March o. The Dominion authorl-
ties we're begged not to allow the Princess Louise
to embark for Bermuda; and notice was given TO inc
world in general to make everything snug below
and hold its breath.
Virgins was not so well known then as
now and in spite OF the merciless nre OF
criticism and ridicule TO which his predic-
tions were subjected, and By reason, perhaps, OF
this very advertisement, profound Impression was
made upon the public mind. and expectation was
wrought TO a high pitch by the time tho fateful
Sunday had arrived. The theme was III every ohe
month: and, To slight extent. preparations were
made along the coasts for tho threatened disaster
The TRIBUNE having remarked that the occasion
would be good one for testing Virgins Individu-
ally and the system of augury from Astronomical
data, Professor Wiggns wrote, ssyingi ac-

SJIrER NEGOTI4TTONS ABROAD.

A dispatch from Paris states that France has
now actively taken up negotiations regarding
the silver coinage, at the point where they were
broken oil in 1882, and hopes that the United
States will give its adhesion To the Latin Union,
when the Union "adopts silver coinage OF real
and not fictitious value" In explanation it is
stated that the silver money coined by the
Latin Union is now worth only S3i2 per cent OF
the pure metal and that the bankers insist
upon a coinage corresponding with the real
value of the metal used. Apparently on the
other side of the water as here, the uncertainty
as to the monetary future which the silver
question involves is recognized as an important
cause of the existing commercial and industrial
depression.
1t would be Interesting to know on what
basis negotiations have been reopenod by
France in regard to the coinage. If it is pro-
posed To resume silver coinage upon different
estimate of the relative value of gold and
silver the entire policy of the French Govern
ment in that regard, which has been long main
tained will have TO be changed. 1t is
announced, too, that Germany remains inhex-
IDLY hostile, and England as well, notwlthstand
ing the large interests OF Great Britain IN
India, so that any measure which France may
propose must look for success substantially TO
the Latin Union and the United States.
The basis upon which this country resumed
the coinage of silver in 1878 is different from
that of France or the Latin Union, and
although there was strong reason at the time of
the last international conference for agreement
between the silver-coning nations, it was found
impossible to reach such agreement In this
country sentimental adherence to the old
@dollar of tho fathers" has been and il
powerful obstacle to any change which requires
the support of those who believe in continued
silver coinage at all On the other hand, those
who believe that the continuance of silver
coinage is injurious to this country that it
retarlls international agreement, and that lit
helps Great Britain to escape the consequences
of its own policy, will hardly be prepared to
assent to recoiuage based upon any different
ratio between gold and silver.

astronomical speculation tends to regard comets
as purely gaseous bodies, and on that view their
irupact on the sun might produce little appmenta-
alton of his heat. It would seem moro probable
that in one of the tremendous cycl0nlc Dydrose"
storms which are called sun-spots an exacerDatioh
of heat fraught with disastrous consequences TO lie
on the earth might occur though there is no proo1
that those storms affect the average evolution OF
solar energy.
1t is a comfort to be assured that upon any theory
of the solar constitution several millions OF years
are likely to pass before the energy OF the great
lumlnarv is exhausted, for no matter how enthusi-
astc our humanitariansm may be we can scarcely
project it so far forward as to feel sincerely sorry
for anything that mayhappen to our descendants In
that practically unthinkable future.

TILE INTERNAL REHENUE COMMISSIONER

THE INTERNAL REVENUE COMMISSIONER.
Randall wins and ex-Speaker Carlisle bites
the dust. The latter strenuously urged the
appointment of ex-Congressman Phil Thomp-
son of Kentucky for Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. The former just as strenuously OPP
posed the appointment. The consequence was
that the canvass for the Office was in the nature
of trial of strength and a test of influence
with the new Administration between the two
factions into which the Democratic party is now
divded-the free traders and the conservatives.
The free-traders are defeated. Their candi-
date is rejected-thanks to Randall.
The Presidents position on the tariff Is so un-
certain that every "straw" bearing on the
point is watched with great interest all along
the Democratic line. The free traders are sure
to shake their heads at Thompson's defeat and
growl savagely that Cleveland evidently pur-
poses to tram with Randall and the Eastern pro-
lection Democrats. AS for the other wing of
the Democracy, of course it will crow; and GER
tainly victory over so powerful leader as
Carlisle may we'll stimulate Growing.
The upshot is likely to be pretty party quar-
rel. Certainly the bad blood caused by the
horizontal reduction bill will not be made better
by this incident. We are glad to be able to add
that in declining to fill the Commssionership
with Phil Thompson the President acted the
part of wisdom and patriotic discretion. There
is nothing in ThompsOn's career to commend
him for an important public post. We congrat-
ulate Mr.. Cleveland on being able to resist
the tremendous Carlisle pressure.

THE ECLIPSE.

! The partial eclipse of the sun yesterday was
viewed in New-York under very favorable condi
tions and the peculiar weird effect produced by the
dimnuti0n of the light at midday, and under
coudless sky, was clearly folt This peculiar effect
produces such strange Impressions upon the average
observer that it is easy to understand and sympa-
thize with the perturbation which savage and
sem-civllzed races have always undergone during
solar eclipses Nor does the Chinese superstition,
that great beast Is at such times trying to devour
the sum- seem altogether absurd during the progress
of the phenomenon for these occasions it is plain
that the animal creation Is disturbed and alarmed

time, dogs and horses and cattle. rejecting moro
deeply, are the more agitated and alarmed. Even
to the human observer Of an eclipse also, though
fortified by the assurances of science, there il
certain uncanny solemnity about the phenomenon.
1t may be that this feeling is mainly the effect of
the diminuton in the strength OF the light but the
impression produced Is of the abstraction from the
atmosphere Of vitalizing energy; and matter of
fact this does take place to certain extent during
an eclipse Of the sun. though perhaps not to such
extent as to cause an appreciabie change, since
dark and cloudy day must intercept tho suns light
