The subcommittee appointed by the inaug-

The Evening Star tonight says: The west
has given up all hopes of recognition in the
cabinet. The best friends of Thurman and
Mcdonald say today that neither has a chance
to go into the cabinet. They say that they
believe, though they regret ii, that two men
from New York will be among those chosen,
and that the administration will at first
glance be open to the criticism that it is made
up IN the interest Of the east, while the west
will be ignored.
Efforts will be made tonight to change the
slate Cleveland is understood to have de-
cided upon but it is confessed that success in
this direction is not expected 1t is believed
that Bayard. Whitney, Manning, Garland,
Lamar and Viles are decided upon. Endi-
cots and Mcclellan are both here and the
friends OF both are opposing the other, and
each expect to get the war department.
The chances are said to be with Endicott,
though the fight that is being made against
him in the interest of Mcclellan, may defeat
both and another be selected; probably Col
lins.

Quaker Teafim0nY.

Mrs A. NJ. Dauphin Quaker lady, of
Philadelphia, has done a great deal to make
known to ladies there the great value of Mrs.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as cure
for their troubles and diseases. She writes
as follows: "a young lady of this city while
bathing some years ago was thrown violently
against the life line and the injuries received
resulted in an ovarian tumor which grew and
enlarged until death seemed certain. Her
physician finally advised her to try Mrs.
Pinkhams Compound. She did so and in n
short time the tumor was dissolved or caus ed
to slough off, and she is now in perfect health
also know of many cases where the medi-
cine has been of great value in preventing
miscarriage and aleviating the pains and
dangers of childbirth. Philadelphia ladies
appreciate the worth Of this medicine and its
great value"

Mr.. Robinson of New York made an sp-
peal, rs the last word he would ever saw in
Washington, asking the House to make a
donation of any amount to Mrs. Meikleham,

unanimous consent for the passage of the bill
making an appropriation for that purpose.
Mr.. Hammond of Georgia objected.
At 10 80 the deficiency appropriation bill
was received from the Senate.
The Senate amendments were pon-coa-
Cured In and Messrs. Barnes, Randall and
Long appointed conferees.
Time dragged slowly. The monotonous
voice OF the clerk enunciating the names of
the members being only varied by members
themselves passing lazily between the tellers

upon various dilatory motions.
The fun of the evening was confined to the

THE HOUSE OF LORDS
Discussing the Situation OF Affairs in
Central Asia.
LONDON. March 3

LONDON, March 3.
In the House of Lords tonight, Lord Gran
vile was pressed by the Marquis of Salisbury
concerning the situation in Central Asia, and
he said the latest reports from Sir Peter
Lumsden were that Russian outposts now
occupied by Tulibikar were stationed at Sui
ikohioti.
Lord Granville said that representation had
been made to Russia, earnestly pressing her
TO give stringent orders to her military COM
mander to refrain from forward movements
which would be likely to bring about a col
lision between Russian and Afghan posts.
.sIn reply to our remonstrances," contin-
ned Lord Granville, Russia declined, Feb.
u. TO withdraw her advance posts at Sari-
yaria and Tulfkar passes. Sir Peter Lums-
den has exerted himself to prevent a collis-
ion, and has advised the Afghans to maintain
themselves at the posts they now occupy.
This advice has been approved by the govern
ment. and Sir Peter Lumsden has been in
structed to urge the Afghans and at the same
time refrain from advancing beyond the
present positions. Negotiations are now in
progress between Her Majesty's government
and Russia for the settlement of the difficulty.
The Marquis of Salisbury asked whether
lie Russian outposts were within the boun-
{, " of Afghanistan.
Earl klmoerieF, secretary OF state OF lnula,
l.: reply said that England regards the Rus
AN outposts as within the Afghan boundary,
and that they form considerable advance in
l. e direction of Herat.
The Marquis of Lothian asked: docs the
whole question of peace or war between Eng
land and Russia depend on the chance of a
soaabble between English and Russian out.
rosts?"
Earl Granville said he must have notice OF
the question.
The Marquis thereupon gave notice that he
would repeat the question.

WASHINGTON, March Sd.
AT II o'clock the corridors of the capitol
were almost impossible. Dense crowds sur
rounded every door of the galleries of the
two houses. peering through and awaiting
the departure of the more fortunate. The
occupants Of seats within were composed of
the most part Of well behaved, well dressed
persons, and by far the larger half wore over
coats of army blue, their red-lined capes
thrown back, the better to display buttons
and military trappings beneath. Many of
the citizens were bedecked with silken badges.
bearing gilt devices. Old citizens who re-
member the Inauguration OF Pierce and Bu-
chanan and who love to tell any chance by
stander of the glories of the ancient democ-
racy, elbow the younger and more sportive
patriot. The majority of the latter have
come to pay their first visit to the halls of
Congress and betrsy in face and demeanor a
sense Of proprietorship in the building and
its contents.
The Senators and members of the House
are worn out with the prolonged sessions and
the excitement OF the last two-or three DAYS
and nights, and betray the fact in their uneasy
attituded, and sometimes in the unparliamen-
tsry vigor of their expressions, on an extra
session which remains a possibility, and the
members and attaches of Congress. The con
dition of business is such that the appropria-
tion bills might be disposed of within twelve
hours, yet the possibility remains that some
will not be passed. The great crowds of
spectators have very inspiring effect upon
the eloquence of many members. The day
is hazy with promise of rain tonight, but
the indications are favorable for fair day
tomorrow.
The President has accepted the resignation
of George ii. Thorpe as member of the South
American Commission.
Several departments of the governmen mt
will be closed tomorrow.
The White House and grounds were
crowded with visitors to-day. The East
room, however, was the only one open to
sight-seers. Policemen guarded the stairwa
leading to the upper portion of the House and
allowed to pass only those on official business
The President was kept very busy during the
day signing acts of Congress and att ending
to other official matters.
Members of the United States Supreme
Court headed by Chief Justice Waite, just
before noon, took leave of the President. 4
meeting of the cabinet was held at noon and
lasted about two hours, all the members being
present. The session was devoted to clearing
up all official business requiring action dur
