THE NEW ASSESSORS.

The Appointments Made Yesterday by
the District Commissioners.
The District Commissioners yesterday after
noon appointed Messrs F. L. Moore, George
Francis Dawson, and John F. Cook as the new
assistant assessors. The appointments were
determined on Friday evening, and the fact
was communicated to the three fortunate gen
tlcmen the same evening, and their presence
was requested at the District Building on Sat
urday morning. There was large crowd of
office-seekers there also, and the friends OF
the various candidates had delegations in
waiting to urge their claims. There were over
fifty applications filed for the places but Mr.
Cook was the only one of the three appointed
whose written application was among the
number. In making the selections the Com
missioners evidently desired to please all sec
tions, as Mr.. Moore is from Georgetown, Mr..
Dawson from East Washington, and Mr.,
Cook from the northwest section.
Mr.. Moore was for long time engaged in
the fertiliZing business, but lately Dranched
out in real estate and made study of the
property of the Georgetown section. He is
man of high standing and is leading MEM
ber OF the citizens movement.
Mr.. John f. Cook was formerly collector of
the District, is the owner of large tracts of
improved real estate, including the Langham
Hotel, and is one of the leading colored citi-
zens of the District.
Mr.. Dawson is best known as the compiler
of the Republican campaign committee text
book, and is president of the East Washing
ton Citizens Association. He is an English
man by birth, has been a Journalist, and once
held an Office in the United States Senate. BE
aspired some years ago to be District Com
missioner.

A Studio Building for Artists.

The project of erecting in this city studio
building for the benefit of local artists seems
to be upon the point of realization. The idea,
when suggested to many of the artists, met
with such hearty Endorsement that active steps
were begun to carry 1t into effect. A sub
ecription list was circulated, and already
large sum has been promised. 1t is the inten
tion of the promoters of the venture to have
the building erected after the most approved
plans, located centrally, and place the rents
OF studios at moderate prices. Those inter
ested claim that nothing can be done to give
the construction of such a building. They
claim that the association of artists in one
building will create more perfect harmony
among the many students Of art located here.

THE NATIONAL REGATTA.
Increasing Signs That 1t Will BE the
Greatest Ever Held.

Increasing Signs That 1t Will BE the
Greatest Ever Held.
There is growing feeling among the boat
ing men of the three clubs that the National
regatta next August will be the greatest of it's
kind ever held in America, In support of this
belief they point to the fact that Secretary
Gibson has already received more letters ask
ing for information than ever before since he
filled the Office. From every section Of the
country clubs are writing inquiring for in
formation and date, and Mr.. Gibson is kept
busy answering. The interest among the
Canadian clubs especially is far in excess of
the past two years, and Toronto, Lachine,
Montreal, and other places have crews already
in training. An innovation this year will be
the first appearance of an eightoared shell
crew from across the st. Lawrence. Informa-
tion received from that section says the
Toronto and Argananta clubs, of Toronto,
are rowing eights for the purpose of coming
10 the National regatta. If this is so this race
will present a great array of oarsmen, for in
addition TO such crews as the two named
above, the Bradfords, Atalantas, Fairmounts,
SchuylkilI Navy, 1ritons. New York Ath-
letics, Crescents, of Boston; Narragansetts,
Columbias and Potomacs, of this city, and
several clubs will also be represented in it.
1t now rests with our people as to whether
the affair will be credit to the city. The
rowing clubs will have their hands full enter
tanning visitors, and citizens generally should
contribute to help pay the expenses. The
committee have prepared circular which
fully explains the subject, which will be dis
tributed. There should be general and gen
erous response to the demands of the clubs.
The whole expense will not be over $4,000,
and a few substantial donations from some OF
our large business houses will provide for
this.

PHILADELPHIA, May 29.-The affairs of
City Treasurer John Bardsley were brought
to crisis by his arrest few minutes before
II o'clock to night at his handsome new resi-
dence, corner of Penn and Price streets, Ger

tectives are guarding the room in which he
lies
The three expert accountants appointed by
Mayor Stuart to examine Mr.. Bardsley's ac-
counts discovered discrepancy of $33, 900
shortly before noon to-day. 1t is said to-
night that the discrepancy discovered is in
the treasnrer's account with the Third

amounts to $350,O0O. Within month Mr..
Bardsley is said to have drawn 500 900 from the

Other shortages may be brought to light in
further comparison of the accounts with the
many banks in which the city funds are de-
posted. The discovery was made to-day that
Mr.. Bardsley's personal deposit with the sus-
pended Keystone Bank amounted to $606,OOO.

Moscow of himself, the Czarina, and their
family depended upon settlement between
the committee and the Jewish loan-mongers.
Ii the matter Is not speedily settled he will
abandon his visit in order to avoid giving Of
fense to France by going to Moscow without
patronzing the exhibition. He has sent the
promoters of the fair an angry intimation that

sistance to Jewish speculation is impossible.
His ire has also been. increased
