THE PANAMA RESOLUTION.
Likely to Rest In the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs.

The courseeof the Edmunds' Panama resolu-
ton since it passed the Senate has been little
out Of the ordinary run Of business.
When first called up in the House committee on
foreign affairs, subcommittee made a unani-
nous report in favor Of its passage, and as Mr.
Russell, Of Massachusetts,, was the only member
who openly opposed the measure, there was
every indication that it would be speedily
reported and passed by the House. A favor
able report was made, in fact, but the resolu-
ton was recommitted in order to allow
Mr.. Russell TO explain more in detail
his reasons for opposing it, Then it
transpired that Mr.. Norwood of Georgia,
wished to make a minority report against the
resolution, and he joined forces with Mr.. Rus
sell in preparing the document. 1t was very
long argument upon the subject, and
completed, the report was signed by
dition to Messrs. Norwood and Russell. Here
of the committee arrayed against chairman Nc
Creary's report, which represented the views of
the majority owing to the adherence of the re-
publican members of the committee. 1t is now
understood that the chairman is reluctant to
press the matter, and widen the gap between
himself end his democratic colleagues on the
committee, taking the ground that the
immediate necessity Tor the passage of the
resolution has disappeared, as q result of
recent events in France, so it is conjectured,
and that the matter will not come again before
the House duriLg this session.

Severe on the District Attorney.

A LETTER FROM CITIZENS OF SOUTH WASHINGTON
TO THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS.
The long controversy between the people Of
South Washington and the Baltimore and Po-
tomac Railroad company is known to every
body. As stated heretofore in The STAR, they
have entered protest against the illegal occu-
pancy of H street southeast by the railroad
company. The matter was, as stated a few
days ago. referred to Attorney Riddle for re-
port. In passing upon the case he said that
the people of South Washington had been re-
peatedly notified that if any reputable man
would come forward and make affidavit that
the street was illegally occupied he would take
action against the company. Messrs. Dwyer
and Parker, in letter to the Com
missioners to-day upon the question, say:
referring to our communication relative to
the obstruction of II street southeast by the
Baltimore and Potomac railroad company we
wish to call your attention to the opinion of
the District attorney. We cannot but acknowl-
edge that it was devoid of all decency; in fact,
it was of an insulting nature, and transgressed
all rules governing official correspondence, and
we think the official deserves a severe repri-
mand for using his official position to reflect
upon the citizens of South Washington. By
reference to your official records you will find
that the District attorney has been instructed
to enter suit against the gas company of
Georgetown for violation of District laws.
We wish to ask the question, Will he require,
in this instance, some reputable man to come
forward present himself, and make affidavit?
IL not. why does he not enter suit against the
railroad company when, as we understand. he
has in an official opinion stated that all tracks
laid without the sanction of Congress are in
violation of the United States statutes?
Very respectfully,
'CHAs. n. PARKER,
"PHILIP N. DIVER"

EXCITEMENT IN A DARKROOM.
A Pistol Leveled at a Detectives Head
by Man He Tried to Arrest.


Detectives Carter and Mahon were standing
in front of the National hotel about 10 o'clock
last night when young man named James
Rooney claimed their protection, saying three
men were after him, as he believed, to shoot
him. The officers went over to the Metropolis,
tan hotel, where the three men complained of
were standing on the sidewalk. When the de-
tectives approached one of the three, VIM. 8.
Warwick, went into the hotel. The others
Arthur +. Kirby and A. B. Tompkins-were ar
rested by Detective Carter, while Detective
Alahon followed Warwick into the bar-room.
He was standing in front of the bar. The off,
Ger approached him and said, II want YOU"
'Wait till l get drink" said Warwick.
Then he turned toward the bar, but instead of
calling for drink he drew . revolver and,
pointing 1t directly toward the detective, said:
Nov, take me II you can" The officer made
a lunge at Warwick to get the weapon from
him. Then there was general scramble for
the front door by those in the saloon, who ex-
pected every moment to see some one killed.
Warwick managed to escape, and planting
himself in the doorway leading to the office
he again leveled his weapon at the
detective. When the officer made another at
tempt to catch Warwick the latter ran out Of
the door and along the avenue. At 9Th street
he turned and started for the corner of street
at the National hotel Detective Mahon drew
his pistol as he was in pursuit Of the fugitive,
and when he turned the corner Of 9th street he
fired one shot without effect. A second shot
was fired, but like the first, it did not take eff
feet Detective Wheeler, who was coming
down 9Th street in front Of the flying bull
lets, captured the fugitive and turned
him over to Detective Mahon. who es-
corted him to the first precinct station, where
he was released on $50 collateral. The weapon
was not found on him, and it is thought that he
passed it to some friend. His companions
were released on $40 collateral each. This
morning in the Police Court Tompkins and
Kirby were charged with threats toward
Rooney, and Warwick was charged with carry
ing concealed weapons and assaulting an officer.
The cases went over until Tuesday.

NO CHANGE IN THE SLATE.
Alterations VIII Not be Made Until
Gen. Harrison Reaches the City.

There is nothing new in the cabinet gossip
from Indianapolis save that from the fact that
law-partner Miller. who has been assigned to
the Attorney eneralship, has intimated that
he viii not be in Washington more than three
or four months, which leads TO the belief that
Gen. Harrison has selected him for advice in
the trying times OF the early part Of his ad-
ministrstion, and when the matters have
Quoted down some other man will take the
law department Of the government and allow
Mr.. Miller to return to his lucrative priys to
practice.
1t is believed that Gen. Harrison has left the
Navy department and perhaps one other cabi-
net office open SO as to adjust things when he
gets to this city next week, and provide for
Pacific coastrepresentative and for New York
man if one can be agreed upon. The World
says to-day that 1t 10 rumored that Gen. Har.
rison has asked both Messrs. Miller and Platt
to meet him in Washington for o conference
next week.
BLAINE HAS NOT DICTATED.
As to the charge that has been circulated to
some extent that Mr.. Blaine has urged that
certain men be selected and that others should
notbe considered, the Herold CORRESPONDENTS saws:
'One gentleman said to me tonight that Gem
eral Harrison told him yesterday that he had
not yet received 9 single intimation from Mr.
Blaine since the day Of the election, either by
telegraph, letter, or messenger. a. to whom he
would Ike to zee in the cabinet OF out It ~"
