crease of the tariff as will check i'm
ports from all the rest of the world, in
Guiding South America. And yet the
Neus has ventured TO say, once or twice,
that BEN HARRISON was not a demagogue.
A BUSINESS man of this city writes to the
Journal:
met n wool buyer yesterday who has been over
the water In England, France and Belgium looking
after wool for a large manufacturing establishment
in Massachusetts, to import soon as the tariff goes
of. He says no man can go through the manutac-
turing districts of Europe but will say, thank GOD
American and in favor of protection. he
says a great many mills are shut down, or running
short time, and many workmen idle.
This anonymous wool buyer must be
a queer kind of fellow if he can travel
through the highly protected" countries
OF France and Belgium, where he says
mills are shut down or running short
time, and workmen idle, and still thank
Con that he is in favor of protection. Ii
in these high tariff countries the mills are
idle and the workmen starving, why
should anybody be led to thank GOD that
he favors a high tariff We should be
glad to have an explanation from the al
legged wool buyer

A wooLEN mannfactnrer at New Alhan

A WOODEN manufacturer at New Albany
writes the Journal: "The wooden bust
ness is the worst now have ever knownit
and l have been in it nineteen years. The
tariff agitation is the undoubted cause of
it," The first part of this statement is I'M
questionably true. The wooden industry of
the country is in demoralizcd condition,
has been so for several years, and is get
ing worse all the time. A good many
mills all over the country are either shut
down or running short hours. 1t is plain,
however, that it is not for lack of protec-
ton, because the wooden business is pro-
tected to the extent of 6S per
cent. Neither can it be because of tariff
agitation, because the most prosperous
days the wooden interests have ever seen
in this country were when tariff agita-
ton" was running high. The Mills bill
gives the wooden manufacturers free wool
and free chemicals, with a protection of
A per cent. The leading wooden manu-
facturers OF the United States say that free
wool will revive their languishing bust
ness, and give them an opportunity to sue
cessidlly compete with their foreign rivals
in the neutral markets of the world. 1t
will open up new outlets for their products
and in this way enable them to en-
ploy more men and pay better wages
than at present. Their net protection
will be greater under the Mills bill than it
is to-day. With free hides our exports
of leather goods amount to ten millions
annually. With free cotton our cot
ton exports amount to fifteen millions
annually. With taxed wool we export
only half million of wooden goods an
nually. Why don't the anonymous New
Albany manufacturer in the Journal ex-
plain away these significant facts, if he
can, before he asks the people to believe
that ''tarif agitation" is respons-
ible for the depressed condi-
ton of the wooleh industry !?
We could fill an entire issue of THE SEN
TINEL with statements to the contrary,
made by wooden manufacturers them
selves.
The Journal will probably advertise this
article as an "attack on the wooden in
dustry" This is good deal easier than
answering it. 1t requires less expenditure
OF brain power, and besides the statements
herein made are unanswerable, because
they are facts which can have but one
meaning.

An Addition to Fort Never.

GENERAL sCHoFIELD's PLAN OF HAVING TWO
BATTERIES OF ARTILLERY STATIONED THERE
The success of the cavalry post which was
established by General Sheridan at Fort Meyer
has encouraged General Schofeld to endeavor
to add to it by establishing an artillery post
there, and an effort will probably be made at
the present session of Congress to have bill
passed providing for the requirement of a
large section Of land contiguous to the mill
tary reservation. There is plenty of room at
present for quartering the troops, but q suita-
BILE range for maneuvering and gun practice
would require an additional section of nearly a
mile and a half square. The idea Of central
izing at the national capital detachments from
the different branches Of the service meets
with general favor among military men, and
it is thought that eventually some infantry
troops as well may be stationed here. Gen.
Schofield's idea at present, however, is to dis
tribute the ten batteries of light artillery some-
what differently from what has been custom
airy heretofore. In case he succeeds two bat
teries will be stationed at Fort Meyer, one of
which will be the battery at present quartered
at Washington barracks. Five will be stationed
at Fort Riley and the other three at some &C.
cessible and desirable point.

SPECIAL DAMAGE CLAIMS,
Strong Objections to the Board of
Audit Bill.

The Commissioners to-day, in letter to
Chairman Hemphill, stated that they had ex-
amined H. r. bill 6676, Ito create board of
audit to adjust all claims for special damages
to real estate by reason of public improve
ments in the District of Columbia" which was
referred to them by Congress for their EXAM
nation and report. They state that they adj
wise against its enactment, as they have
against all propositions having the same object
in view. They say. however, that they can see
no good reason why claims of this kind should
be put upon footing in the District
different from that upon which they are
placed in other sections OF the country.
They think that a fair adjudication of all
legal claims against the District for dam
ages sustained as stated in this bill may be sus-
tanned by 80 suspending the operation Of the
statute OF limitations in respect to all such
claims as to enable the claimants to institute
suits in the Supreme Court Of the District of
Columbia without hindrance from the plea of
such statute. The Commissioners say that the
general features of the plan proposed in the
law have already been condemned by
Congress, and it would have been impos-
sible for Congress to have more emphaticaliy
manifested its disapproval of the method OF
dealing with these claims which the passage of
the bill under consideration would revive.
With reference to the equity in the .,atter the
commissioners say tnat Whlie the Improve
ments referredto were in a few cases the cause
Of temporary hardship, their ultimate effect
has been to greatly benefit and enhance
in value the property affected by them. So
far as the Commissioners are advised, they say
that most Of the property upon which the
claims are based has passed out Of the hands
OF those who owned it at the time the improve
ments which it is claimed caused the
damage were made. There is no gen.
erai demand by property owners for pro-
posed legislation. The principal interest in II
is manifested by claim agents. The enactment
OF this bill, the Commissioners think, would re-
suit in the presentation of more than 81 zoo, 900
of claims and the allowance of an amount that
would add enormously to the funded debt of
the District, which already absorbs 81, 81, $40
OF its annual revenues for interest and sink
ing fund. Another objection to this
bill, the Commissioners think, is
that ii proposes to give the board created by il
full power to adjust and finally dispose of all
such claims. If, Notwithstanding the objections
Of the Commissioners, Congress should deem II
advisable to establish such tribunal, the Com
missioners submit that awards made by such
tribunal should be submitted to the Comma
sioners for their approvalor disapproval, or the
Commissioners should be entitled TO ale excep-
tions thereto in the Supreme Court Of the DE-
trict Of Columbia, and have The dseision IT aid

New Rooms for the Secretary of War.
HE CHANGES HIS QUARTERS TO THE WEST WING OF
THE BIG DEPARTMENT BUILDING.
Workmen were engaged to-day in removing
the Office of the Secretary of War from the
central rooms in the northern wing of the State
War and Navy department. to the correspond
ing rooms in the west wing, which were origin
ally designed for that purpose, and it is expected
that Secretary Endicott will occupy his new
quarters tomorrow for the first time When
the west wing was finally completed early last
spring and the War department bureaus
quartered there, the Secretary of War retained
his old quarters, although he was at an incon-
venient distance from the chief clerk and many
from the fresh paint of all kinds, with which
the walls of the new rooms were decorated. and
the approaching warm weather, influenced him
in this decision. After the paint was thoroughly
dry and the heated term over, the Secretary
continued in his old quarters, as his

and other matters to permit Of moving. He
will not mind the hot weather next summer
and has at last consented to the change. He
will occupy as his Office the elegantly decorated
room which corresponds to his old Office. The
room adjoining it ON the south, until to-day
occupied by the military tactical board, will be
used as the Secretsry's retiring room, the board
referred to having moved to the Secre-
tary's old room in the north wing. The ad-
joining room ON the north will be occupied by
the Secretary's private secretary, and the large
room adjoining it on the north will be occu-
pied by his two military secretaries Major
Adams and Capt. Taylor. Next comes the chief
clerks room and that of his assistant, which

The Staff Appointments.

ARMY OFFICERS DISSATISFIED WITH THE PRES
IDENT's SELECTION.
The nomination of six staff officers in the
army, as announced in yesterdays STAR, was a
general topic of comment among army officers
to-day, and there was no effort to conceal the
general feeling of dissatisfaction. The opinion
was openly expressed that with one, or per-
haps two exceptions, the selections were made
through political influence and not for the
good of the military service, and that there
was no evidence that fitness for position or
brilliant military record had any weight in the
matter.
