sustained on limited trading London had
improved correspondingly over night but
the market for international securities was
dull. and featureless. The short interest

the specialties show unmistakable signs OF

made to the floating supply of stock for

the moment looks extremely dangerous
The Improvement in trade conditions re

additional evidence Of Improvement in the

sooner or later be reflected In the course Of

railing and serves for meteorological OBJ

latter can be closed by alright shutters.

Subjects Discussed in an Interview
With the Commissioners.

The Commissioners gave a hearing this
afternoon to the president and vice p-esi-
dent of the Northeast Washington AssocIa-
ton. who called to discuss municipal af-
fairs. The delegation desired to learn the
position Of the Commissioners on the sub
ject Of municipal control Of street lighting
which they said would form the subject Of
discussion at the next meeting OF the as
ISOLATION. The ASSOCIATION, they said. was
in favor of the municipal control of electric
lighting, but did not think 1t would be ad-
vantageous to operate the gas works.
The speed of trains was discussed ard &c
was stated that trains over the Baltimore
ard Ohio railroad ran at an unlawful rate
Of speed every day. The poles placed along
the track to measure the speed had never
been utilized, and altogether the police were
not watchful they should be. The Cb-
struction OF H street by trains on the cross
ing, was also referred to and the visitors
stated they had been obliged to wait thir-
teen minutes this morning for a train
which blocked teat street.

SHERMAN AND STANTON.
Charles A. Dana Tells of Their Meet
ing at the Great Review.

ing at the Great Review.
From the New York Sun.
Our able republican contemporary, the
Globe-Democrat Of st. Louis. proposes to
correct " hat it calls very incorrect state
ment of a memorable incident of the war.
and here is the version which 1t sets forth
by way of Improvement:
1t was at the final march and review of
Union troops in Washington succeeding the
surrender of Lee. The President and his
cabinet were on the grand stand. and Gen.
Sherman stopped and dsmounted to pay
his respects. Secretary Stanton, like his
associates, proffered his hand to the gen.
eral. who. however. passed on without no.
ticing either the hand or its owner. But
Gen. Sherman did not then. or at any other
time. tell Stanton that he was nothing but
a ID clerk" He used this language af-
terward in speaking of, but not to, Stanton
with another party to whom he was relat-
ing the cause of his "coolness'' toward
Stanton, which was the latter's conduct in
countermanding orders issued by Sherman
to the army in North Carolina.
This Is not the truth We were present
on that stand Immediately behind Mr.. Stan
ton. and heard and saw everything that
happened there, while to all the circum-
stances relating to General Sherman we
paid the most careful attention. Nothing
theatrical occurred, and there was no man.
isfestation of excitement on either side.
When Gen. Sherman approached Mr.. Stan
ton did not offer his hand or make any
movement to offer II. He did not look par
ticularly at Gen. Sherman nor speak to
him, AMI Sherman had no opportunity of
repelling any advance in word or gesture
AS Sherman passed along In front of him
Mr.. Stanton neither opened his lips nor
smiled, nor in any way departed from the
entire tranquility of his attitude except
to make a brief and impersonal forward
movement of his head. approaching a bow
in recognition OF the passage of a general
officer with other officers attending him.
That was all.
So many untrue reports have been set
| afoat respecting this incident that 1t Is a
duty TO history 20 record the exact truth

Combination of Timber Entries.

Assistant Commissioner Bowers of the
general land office has decided an important
case which involves a construction of the
act Of March 8. 1891. permitting communal
ton of timber culture entries. In the case
In point the party made timber culture
entry in 1854. and for four years thereafter
he compiled with the law as to tree plant
ing. etc; but from 1855 to 1893, when he ap-
piled to commute his entry, he did nothing
II Is held that as there was no contest in
itiated prior to the date upon which he ap-
piled 10 commute, the entry is valid. Had
there been, however, contest initiates
before the application to commute was
made, on the ground of failure to comply
with the law between 1888 and 1895, the con-
test would have been sustained

A BURGLAR
He is Now in Prison, Unable to

He is Now in Prison, Unable to
Give $1,000 Bond.
Between the hours of 3 and 4
o'clock this morning, the house
of F. J. Mcfarland, No. 301 Avenue
G, was entered, and a pair of pants
containing a silver watch, was
stolen, being the property of a
gentlemen who boards at this
house. The burglar made suffici-
ent noise in leaving the house, to
awaken the colored servant,and just
as she rushed through the house to
give the alarm to those in slum-
bers, she saw Edgar Davis, a negro,
leap from side window, with the
pants on his arm. She did not
make any noise, but slipped to the
window and watched Davis, as he
left the premises. The matter was
reported, early this morning, to
Captain Hughes, the chief detect
i've, and it was not long until Davis
was placed under arrest, at his
home, near the City brewery. The
girl was conveyed to the detect
ives Office, and identified Davis as
being the right man. He was then
taken before Justice Anton Adam,
on the charge of burglary and
theft, and committed to the
county jail, in default of a
$1,000 bond. Davis claims he
is not the man who did the rob-
being. but as the moon shone
brightly on him the colored girl
could not have been mistaken.
ANOTHER ROBBERY.
About the same time this morn
ing a pair of pants containing $14
was stolen from off a chair in the
room of VIM. Biggs, at his home,
No. 10 Taylor street. This house is
but short distance from the Nc
Farland residence, and the detec-
tives are of the belief that Davis
is also the guilty one, in this case,
although they have not sufficient
proof for his conviction. The Biggs
house was not broken into but the
intruder slipped his arm in a win
dow and took the pants, which
were placed on a chair not far
from the opening.
