DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.
The House Committee.

The House District committee held a
meeting this morning. but was unable TO
take action upon any bills. as up to this
time the Commissioners have not made re-
ports upon any of the bills introduced at
this session Of Congress and referred to
them for their opinion. The only business
which the committee transacted, therefore.
was the change of reference of several bills
which had been erroneously referred to it.
The bills providing two additional clerks
to the health department and increasing
the salaries Of the physicians to the poor
were referred to the committee on appropri-
ations. and Mr.. Meredith's bill to improve
the military road to Arlington was referred
to the committee on military affairs.
The Heirs of John Howard Payne.
Senator Cameron today introduced bill
for the relief of the heirs Of John Howard
Payne. appropriating for payment to them
the sum of $205.92. found to be due to HIM
when his accounts as consul OF the United
States at Tunis were adjusted after his
death. Similar bills have twice been in
trcduced in the Senate and passed. but eacn
has died the death that comes to SO many
bills In the House.
Seafer of Weights and Measures.
Mr.. Heard introduced a bill in the House,
by request. today, providing for the ap-
pointment by the Commissioners OF a sealer
OF weights and measures for the District
and an assistant, and fixing a strict system
OF regulations for weights and measure
A synopsis Of the bill will be found under

ONE OF THE ASTORS.
Something About the Nominee to the
Italian Embassy.

Mr. James j. Van Allen. who was nomi-
mated yesterday as ambassador to Italy,
Is very wealthy resident of Newport, r. l.,
where he occupies a fine residence. He is
one OF the connections of the New York
Astors, being sonin-law OF William B.
Astor. and the possessor of great wealth
by Inheritance. He has never mixed much
in politics and is said to be almost a
stranger to the Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress from Rhode Island. He
Is native of Albany, n. ", and is describ-
ed as man of fashion and erudition. He
was large contributor to the democratic
campaign fund He is the fourth ambas-
sador appointed by President Cleveland and
he ILLS the last office of that grade at the
disposal of the administration. 1t is ex-
pected that Russia will soon raise the grade
of its mission in the United States and I'm
edly establish an embassy at st. Peters
burg. Mr.. Van Allen succeeds Mr.. Porter
of Indiana, who was appointed minister to
Italy during the last administration.
Gossip About the appointment.
A curious explanation is given Of Mr.
Van Aliens selection as the first -ambassa-
dor of the United States to Italy. 1t is
stated that of all our legations abroad this
has been, for the last ten years, the most
difficult to fill from a social point of view
1t was made so by Mr.. VIM. Waldorf Astor.
who when minister to Rome "set the pace
cial functions on such a scale OF lavish ex-
penditure that no one not possessed of a
millionaire's fortune could hope to follow
him successfully.
Mr.. John b. Stallo, whom Mr.. CLEVELAND
during his first term, appointed to succeed
Mr. Astor, had a most unpleasant experi-
ence Having no private fortune he was
compelled to rely upon the salary of his
position Hl2.o0O for his means OF living and
entertaining as minister of the United
States. The contrast between the economy
thus enforced and the munificent extraya-
gance of the preceding regime was so
marked that the American colony and
American visitors made MIR. Stallo's life
an exceedingly unhappy one The COM
plants that poured in upon the State De-
partment almost partook of the nature of
charges
1t was asserted that Minister Stallo had
removed the legation from the palace ii had
formerly occupied and established II over a
cneeSemOnger's shop" and II was almost
lntimated that he was diverting the funds
provided by Congress for the maintenance
OF the legation to his own private pur-
poses. He was lampooned and ridiculed In
every possible way for his alleged parsi-
mony. The only foundation for these
charges was, of course, the fact that Mr..
Stallo lived within his official income, while
Mr.. Astor did not
Similar Inconvenience were felt In less
degree. by Gov. Porter of Indiana Cwho
resigned the place ostensibly to enter the
Indiana campaign), and by Mr. William
Potter, whom Mr.. Harrison appointed in
the last days of his administration to sue
ceed Gov. Porter. Mr.. Van Aliens Inherit
ed wealth as an Astor son-in-law, it is
expected will enable him to restore to the
American embassy in Rome all the social
glortes which the legation had under M
VIM. Waldorf Astor

TO vACCINArE THE CHILDREN.
What the Deputy Health omcer Says
Upon the subject.

Deputy Health Officer Tracy has ordered
$50 vaccine points for use among the poor.
The beginning of the school year always
causes a demand for such treatment, and
almost every day persons appear at the
health Office TO be vaccinated. Those who
appear are not all paupers. but an idea
seems TO prevail among certain persons
that the health Office is the proper place for
such purposes. This morning two children
who called were vacclnated by the deputy
health officer.
To a Star reporter Mr.. Tracy said thar
vaccine points were not being distributed
by the health Office except those used by
physicians to the poor.
There is a law regarding the vaccination
of children admitted in the public schools
The law requires that all children admitted
must be vaccinated or protected IN soms
other way from smallpox.
1T is not necessary for parents 10 take
their children 10 physicians to have them
vaccinated." said Mr.. Tracy when question
ed by Star reporter ''All that is neces
sary is to remove the outer cuticle Of IN,
arm and expose the inner cuticle without
drawing the blood. Then rub the sn,t
with a moistened vaccine point, and leay,
the arm exposed TO the air until the virps
dries"

NEW SCHOOL TRUSTEES.
some Of Those who Are Likely TO Re-
cefve Appointments.

Commissioner Ross returned to his office
today and remained there for several hours.
Throughout the morning he was besieged
with a host OF friends. who came In TO well
come him back and to offer their congratu-
lations on his speedy recovery.
The Commissioner is looking as well as he
ever did and with the exception OF a slight
discoloration under his right eye shows no
effect OF his accident He says that his rib
is pretty well healed now. and that he suf-
fers no inconvenience from his injuries.
In referring to the appointment Of the five
school trustees. Mr.. Ross said that IL would
probably be the middle of next week before
any definite decision could be arrived at.
Mr. Paul Bowen presented his applicatio
for one Of the positions TO Mr., Ross IN per-
son. He is backed by a large labor element
and from what could be gathered at the
District building today IL is thought that
his appointment Is assured. Commissioners
Ross stated today that I'm accordance with
the desires of a number who have peti-
preston that one of the vacancies will be
filled by a woman. Mrs Miranda Tullock
is the only woman who is an applicant
for the position. and as she is backed by the
Woman's Suffrage Association she will in
all probability carry of another of the ap-
pointments. Mr.. Louis A. Cornish is strong
ly backed for reappontment, and as IL IL
customary to have at least one colored citi-
zen on the board, he is likely 20 make an
other Of the five. The citizens Of Anacostia
have asked the Commissioners 10 allow
them to suggest a trustee to represent the
Anacostia district on the board. and that
privilege will likely be accorded them. That
will leave only one position to be filed and
IL is said that MIR. John T. Mitchell will be
offered the position.

SHORTS REGAIN CONFIDENCE.
Wall Street Prices Lose Their Buoy
ancy of Yesterday.

Spec1al Dlspatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2O-Today's market
opened at about last nights closing. Varia-
tlons either way were small and of no
special significance. The buoyancy noted
yesterday afternoon by reason of the tenn
porary business aspect of the Senate. was
not continued this morning and the open
ing was dull and tame.
Shorts who were driven to cover yester-
oay' discovered that their panic was both
unwarranted and Improbable The market
Is much more sensitive to good news than
II Is to bad and advances Of late have been
greater than declines. The strength of the
market so generally conceded to be remark
aoie under present conditions comes from
dlscountlng tn, probable action Of the
senate, but just how much of the boom
for speculation
London was dull at about our closing and
did nothing this side
Chlcago advices announced that the $500
ana o-her round about roads were cutting
rates v est from the seaboard.
The dissatisfaction continues among the
employees of the Big Four system and a
general strike is now considered inevitable.
PRESIDENT lgnalls submits his report to
the men tonight when its propositions will
be discussed by the various departments.
Inc supply OF time money is still greater
tnan the demand, with rates and condi-
and per cent and was also in good supply.
The volume of business in the sterling
market Is small, but rates continue firm
except for short sterling, which is offered
at slight concessions from yesterdays fig
ures. Foreign arbitrage houses are doing
practically nothing. Barring. Magoun & Co.
posted rates were 4S3 1-2a4s6 1-2.
Atchison is said to be profiting by the
settlement of the Cherokee strip. having
sent 1000 carloads of freight into that ter
ritory during the last three days and great
ly increased its general traffic during the
month.
The clearing house statement today shows
exchanges. $685. .1049l4; balances, $3.451. 800.
ana subtreasury debit balance, $5S7, 759 This
debit will be liquidated by paying $500. O0O
IN gold coin and the balance in United
States notes.
The market sold Off about the noon hour
put recovered later with considerable snap
Among the most conspicuous gains were
Ia per cent for Lackawanna to l43 IA
1 Ia for New England, to 26 Is, and per
cent for sugar. to IS Ia.
The market for raw sugar was firm and
steady at the recent advance No change
has been made in refined and none is likely
to be for the present.
The situation at WASHINGTON is daily be-
coming more critical, so far as 1t affects the
industrials. as 1t is probable they will soon
all have to file by in regular order for con-
gressional criticism and comment Ex-
perience has proved this a trying process,
and one that would be gladly dispensed
with.
