The New Marshal of the District.

Washington Special:-The president has
appointed A. A. Wilson. Il prominent insur-
anee man Of this city, marshal OF this dis
trict. In making his appointment the
president has directed that Mr.. Wilson
shall consider himself bound only to per-
form the duties imposed upon him by
.aw. This means that Mr.. Wilson will not
act as court chamberlain on great
society occasions at the White House.
Hayes followed this plan when objection
was made by society to Frederick h.
Douglas whom he appointed marshal. Mr..
Hayes designated Col. Rockwell OF the
army to act as major domo at the White
House, and Introduce visitors to the presi-
dent at the grand receptions. Mr.. Cleve-
land has designated Col. Wilson the
superintendent OF public grounds, TO take
the place OF Marshal McMichael as court
chamberlain. The two Wilson's are not

thanks Major General Prince Cantaceu-
zene, Bulga rian minister of war, and as
sures his favor to him and all other

ing the resistance offered by the Burmese,
sent messenger to Gen. Prendergast, beg
ging him to grant an armistice for the pur-

OF the Burmese army and Mandalay, the
capital, stating that only then could he
entertain any request looking to the set

ceded to the terms, and the Ava forts, with
