The politicians about the hotel Hobbies are
more than ever demoralized. They have in Q
measure gotten used to surprises from Mr..
Cleveland, but they open their eyes very wide
at the nominations today. Pendleton is the
only one Of the names that sounds familiar in
connection with a foreign mission, and Il was
expected by some that ne would GO to the Court
of ST. James instead of to Berlin. At tho
mention of Phelps for the English mission
thrill OF horror ran through the rock-ribbed
democrats of the lobby, for they had not gotten

the republicans altogether. This apprehension
was very soon expelled, however. Like the
other nominations the trouble with these ID

A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST THE PENNsYI-
VANIA TROoPS-GOv. PATTISON TO ORDER AN
INVESTIGATION.
The District Commissioners have addressed a
letter to the governor of Pennsylvania, enclos-
ing report from the superintendent of police
In relation to- the complaints made concerning
the behavior Of some of the Pennsylvania
troops here during inauguration week. The
letter says: "The Commissioners regret that the
praise due the volunteer regiments from Penn
sylvania for their generally excellent appear
ance, discipline and behavior during their re-
cent visit TO the national capital upon the occa-
sion of a presidential Inauguration must be
qualified by the bad conduct of a few members
of the 4th, 9Th, 14th and Sth regiments. Corn
plants come to the Commissioners that while
these regiments were waiting for the train in
South Washington some of the soldiers, regard
less of discipline, morals and law, forcibiy rob-
bed several small dealers in that neighborhood
of their wares, refusing payment and conduct
ing themselves in other respects disgracefully.
These complaints have been investigated and
are found to be sustained by trustworthy evil
dence. Payment to the injured parties, who
are not able to sustain the small losses, the
letter adds, "and u suitable apology from the
wrongdoers would seem to be so proper that
they Will doubtless be rendered voluntarily by
the regiments. Beyond this the Commissioners
have no suggestions to make, as you will deter
mine what is due to violated law, as well as to
good discipline and the honor of the service"
A dispatch from Harrisburg says: When the
communication from the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia is received by the gov
ernor he will, as scommanderin-chief of the mi.
litia. order an immediate Investigation by Adj
jutant General Guthrie. Whatever is deemed
necessary for the honor and discipline of the
troops will be done promptly. The governor is
quoted as saying, yesterday afternoon that it
was strange nothing had been said about the
misconduct of the troops before this the inaugu-
ration having taken place nearly three weeks
ago. He was in Washington himself, and had
not heard q hint of any unbecoming conduct
among the Pennsylvania troops Neither, he
presumed. had the officers of the four regiments
mentioned. ior they would have punished the
offenders on the spot The troops were, in a
large measure, on their honor, no provost hav-
Ing been thought necessary, and If there was
any such conduct as charged the culprfts Were
doubly guilty.
