He Was Last Seen in the Neighborhood
Railroad Station.

He Was Last Seen in the Neighborhood OF
q Railroad Station.
Walton Wood, boy Of fifteen years, who
was in the throng that witnessed the inaugural
parade, is reported as missing. The story is
told in a letter sent today to Maj. Moore by
Mr.. L. B. Wynne of the patent Office, as fol-
lows:
ION the afternoon Of March 4, between the
hours of 1890 pm. and $50 pm, as nearly as
can be ascertained, two youths. John Fl. Wynne
of this city and Walton Wood a stranger to the
city, son of Mr.. James Wood of Sperryville,
Rappahannock county, Va, were on the corner
of 9Th street aud Pennsylvania avenue north
west. Young Wood left his companion to so into
the Baltimore and Potomac railroad station to
get warm Gas they had done once or twice pre-
viously) After waiting three-quarters or a
whole hour John went to look for Walton, but
failed to find him; and failed to find him on a
second and third search later in the day and
came home without him. He was anXiously
awaited by us until bedtime. as he was thought
to be sufficiently acquainted to find his way
back, but he did not return. He was to
have returned home via Culpeper next morn
ing, with Dr. Smith OF Sperryville Sunday
morning $3.50 clock watched and inquired at
the B. and P. station among those who were
returning home by the Richmond and Danville
railroad, but failed to see or hear anything
of him. Thinking it possible that 1 might
have overlooked him or that he might have
taken a notion the previous day to return
home by the afternoon train, l telegraphed at
the station to his uncle, Philip Bragg Of the
railway mail service. living at Culpeper, and
last night at II o'clock received a reply:
Haven't seen or heard anything of him.
This is not absolutely conclusive, of course. as
it is possible, though not probable, that he went
straight on from Culpeper to Sperryvile and
thus Vas not seen by Mr.. Braggs acquaintance.

THE MARINE ENGINEERS

Against Licensing British Subjects as En-
g1neers of the Americanized Steamships.
The MsrineFE Engineers Association Of America
Is endeavoring to prevent the licensing of
British subjects as engineers Of the newly
Americanized steamships Paris and New York.
One of its members says that the late Secretary
of the Treasury, Mr.. Foster, rendered a de-
cision in contravention Of the statutes Of the
United States when he permitted the engineers
on these vessels to remain In charge upon
simply filing declarations Of their intention to
become citizens. The association has retained
George W. Deass, attorney-at-law, to have the
order permitting the issuance Of licenses to
British subjects countermanded.
At recent interview between ex-Secretary
Foster and the president of the association,
when the latter protested against his action, Mr.
Foster said that the owners Of the vessels had
represented to him that it was for the interest
Of the company that tho engineers then in
charge should be licensed under our statutes,
because there were ne American engineers who
were competent to take charge Of such vessels.
He interpreted the law which provided that
none but American citizens should be officers of
vessels of the United States as not to include
engineers, as he did not consider them to be
officers.
Referring to the statement Counsel Dease
says:
The masters and mates, however. we're
changed. Now, there is no question whatever
that an engineer is an officer. The theory Of
the law was that American vessels should at all
times be in charge Of those who, by their citi-
zenship, could be relied upon to remain loyal
to the government in time Of war or other
emergency. I do not agree with Mr.. Foster
that the mere declaration of intention to be-
come a citizen would authorize British subjects
to obtain United States license"
President Cleveland has received telegram
from the officers of the association requesting
revocation Of Mr.. Foster order for the licensing
Of the engineers in question, and he has referred
it to Secretary elect Carlisle.

NEW BASE BALL RULES.

They Will BE Considered by the National
League I'm New York.
The annual spring meeting of the National
League will begin at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
New York, tomorrow.
Tomorrow may be given over by the club
owners to routine business and an informal dis
cussion Of the playing schedule, to be submit.
ted by N. E. Young, the president. The sched-
ule, however. as usual, will be the last thing
formally adopted. Active work on the pro-
posed changes in the playing rules may not &c,
fully under way before Wednesday.
Messrs. Byrne. Brush and yonderhorst COM
pose the rules committee, and while they have
agreed upon a report, ss already published in
The STAR, several alterations and amend
ments may be made. The committees idea
is to put back the pitcher to the center Of the
diamond, or sixty-three feet from the home
plate. This would make the pitcher deliver the
ball about eight feet further than under the old
rules.
The idea Of rewarding a player whose sacri-
fee advances a fellow player base is . good
one.

TO SEE THE BALL ROOM.
Thousands Attend the Concerts by the Ma
rine Band Today.


rine Band Today.
Everybody did not go 10 the ball Saturday
night. That was evident today when the crowds
poured into the pension building to see the
decorations. If the building had been thrown
open to the public and it had been a
free show a curious throng would have
been expected a matter OF course. But in
this case the curiosity OF the public cost them
exactly so cents a head. To be sure there
was a concert by the Marine Band thrown
in, and while tho reputation of that famous
organization is national yet after all the
main feature Of the concerts held this morning
and afternoon was the finely decorated
hall where the inaugural ball was held.
1t WIS scene that fully repaid a visit. al
though some Of the roses had faded and the
trailing vines profusely used In the dec
orations had begun to droop. The bright sun
light instead of the flood of artificial light
which the decorator had in view when he de-
signed the scheme streamed through the great
tall windows of the attic story, but its
garishness was taken up and absorbed TO
large extent in the canopy of white and gold
which formed the beautifully draped ceiling Of
the ball room. The light that filled the hall
was softened and toned down. and the decora-
tions, though wearing a somewhat dissipated
air, were still wonderfully effective, and it was

was one of the most magnificent ball rooms Of
recent days
The concert by the Marine Band began at 10
o'clock in the presence Of quite a large audi
ence. After strolling about and seeing what
was to be seen. the people sat down and en-
joyed the fine program which Prof. Fsnciali
and his corps OF musicians hid prepared for
their enter tainment. This aftxnoon there was
another concert at o'cloo. This evening
again at o'clock.
1t is expected that the President and the
members Of the cabinet and tseir families will
attend the concert this evening at the pension
building.
