Mr.. PARKERs NOMINATION.

MR.. PARKER's NOMINATION..
Owing to the engagements of some Of the
members of the Senate District committee it
was found impossible to hold meeting this after
noon and it was agreed that the members would
meet Monday afternoon at 8 O'Clock for the
purpose Of considering and acting upon the
nomination Of Mr.. NJ. NJ. Parker to be District

THE BURNT MILLS AND SANDY SPRINGS ROAD
At q meeting of the Senate District committee
Wednesday favorable report was ordered
on the bill to incorporate the Washing
ton, Burnt Mills and Sandy Springs
railroad. The bill ordered to be reported
was the House bill which the projectors
Of the road are willing to accept, but it was so
amended by the committee as to remove freight
facilities.
Yesterday afternoon a committee obtained
Q hearing on the measure, at which they argued
that the freight facilities were equally as i'm
portant to the persons whom it was in
tended that the road should benefit. as
the passenger service, and that without
them the road would hardly be a success as il
was the desire of the persons through whose
neighborhood the route lay to have some means
Of transporting their farm products to this city
and Of obtaining coal and fertilizer at their
homes.
The subcommittee agreed to the sug-
gestions made, and, the bill was re-
ported to the Senate today, it is almost pre-
cisely that which the House adopted The time
within which the road was to be built wss
changed from three to two years and the point
where the road should end at University
station was left to the decision of the Com
missioners. In the report which accompanied
the bill it is stated that the road
would open communication in MARYLAND
with Sandy Springs, Ashton and Coles
vile towns that are now from six to
twelve miles from railroad and whose natural
market was this city. In the opinion OF the
committee when the road is built it will be an
advantage to the people of Maryland and the
District.
THE LIQUOR LICENSE BILL
1t 10 thought that the Senate will conclude
the consideration Of the sundry civil bill on
Monday and when this measure is out Of the
way Mr.. Mcmillan hopes to obtain an oppor-
tunity to call up the liquor license bill Until
the appropriation bill is out of the way no
other legislation will have q chance.
THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO BILL
A meeting Of the Senate District committee
will be held next Monday morning. 1t is ex-
pected that the bill Incorporating the proposed

pared by that time and ready for the action Of

Company A Elects MT. F. L. Graham a.
Captain and Insists on His Confirmation.
Members Of the District National Guard
will be somewhat surprised and yet not sur
prised to learn that company A Of the engineer
corps has elected Mr.. F. L. Graham AZ
acting captain Of the company. This is
another step in an affair which has supplied
the military gossips with much interesting mat
ter for discussion. Last fall Lieut.. Graham
wrote to Gen. Ordway letter relating to a con.
troversy over Q rife match which military au-
thorities had no difficulty in declaring to be in
subordinate, whereupon the general deprived
Lieut.. Graham, who was an acting heuten-
ant and not commissioned officer. of his COM
mand, reduced him to the ranks and discharged
him from the service.
to hold an election for the purpose of filing the
vacancy it reelected Mr.. Graham-Gen. Ordway
having in the meantime consented to Graham's
enlistment. But the general refused to renom-
mate Mr.. Graham, and the platoon was SO
informed few days since
Last week the status Of the engineer corps
was changed, and 1t became q battalion of three
companies. This exalted the platoon COM
manders to the rank Of captain. and when
company A came to elect captain it elected
Graham. Then it advanced SerRt A. O. Hut
terly to . second heutenancy, and Is now await
ing results.
It is understood that Gen. Ordway will not
indorse the action Of the company a. to Mr..
Graham, and II he does not or decides not 10 by

WHERE he WILL RESIDE,
Mr.. Cleveland May Occupy tho House of
the Late Admiral Porter.

the Late Admiral Porter.
Mr.. Cleveland has decided not to occupy the
White House as . home during the early part
Of his administration. 1t is stated that he
wants the White House to be placed in thor
ough order and arranged to suit the needs of
his family, and also that he does not wish
to make any mistake in bringing Mrs. Cleve-
land and the baby in the house while there is
the remotest danger Of infection from the
case Of scarlet fever from which little Marthena
Harrison has recently recovered. He
has therefore concluded to lease a private
residence in this city for few months at least.
The residence Of the late Admiral Porter on H
street between 18th and 18th streets has been
called to his attention and it is highly probable
that he will select this house. The agent
Of the property in this city today
told STAR reporter that the house had not
been leased. 1t is thought that some definite
arrangement will be made soon so that prepa-
rations can be made to get the house in order
for the new occupants. 1t has not been occu-
pied this winter. Last season it was the home
of e1-Gov. Carroll
