stance. it appears that the selection of
chief of engineers is naturally limited 10
Col. Craighill. who does not retire until
July, 1897 Col. Robert, who retrrcs in May,
1901, and Col. Wilson, who will reach the
retiring age in October of the same year.
OF these three colonies, Craighill and Will
SON are considered by far the ikenest can
didates. So far as known, Col. Wilson has
done nothing to advance his own cause,
and, like the majority of the officers OF the
corps, is said to regard Col. Cra1ghill as
Gen. Casey's most logical successor. The
President and Secretary Lamont are strong
friends of Col Wilson, but, it Is not be-
leved that this friendship will prejudice
the chances of Col. Craighill in the Slight
est degree.
Col. CraiShiIl the Most Likely.
The almost universal belief in army
circles that Col. Craighill will be the next
chief of engineers is strengthened by the
Presidents failure to appoint him a mem
Der of the Nicaraguan canal commission.
A detail of that kind would have taken
him away from the country for two or
three months at least, and would have
practically necessitated placing another
officer in charge OF the affairs of the office
Of chief of engineers. The widely published
suggestion that Col Craighill represent the
army en- the canal commission is now said
TO have been instigated by persons inimical
to his advancement.
Col. Craighill is now in charge of the
river and harbor improvements in Mary
land, Virginia and Delaware and has his
headquarters at Baltimore. He is presi-
dent of the Society of American Civil En-
gineers, and is regarded one of the best
engineers in the country. Although the
ethics of the corps of engineers preclude
his taking any personal steps in the mat
ter, his many friends and the powerful
society of which he is the head are taking
an active interest in his behalf. The in
fiuence of the Society of Engineers Is re-
garded as exceptionally strong, as it num-
hers in it's membership every prominent
engineer in the country and many leading
scientific experts in the wide domain of
engineering.
Coils. Ro} ert and Wilson.
Col. Robert was formerly Engineer Com
missioner of the District, and Col. Wilson
Is the present superintendent of public
buildings and grounds In the District. The
appointment of Col. Craighill as chief of
engineers, with tho rank and pay of briga-
der general, would only defer for two
years the probability of the same dstinc-
tion beirg conferred upon either one of
them. They would then be next in line of
promotion in the order named. and would
be the most logical candidates for the
Cfiice.

CHIEF OF ENGINEERS
Gen. Thos. L. Casey Will Be Retired
Next Month.
GOSSIP AS TO HIS SUCCESSOR
indications Point to the Selection
Of Col. CraighiII.
THOSE WHO ARE ELIGIBLE

Interest in army circles Is now mainly
conferred on the char ges that will occur in
the corps of engineers in consequence of
the retirement of Brigadier Gen. Thomas
L. Casey. chief of engineers, on the 10th
proximo. On that date Gen. Casey will be-
come sixty-four years Of age, and, under
the laws governing the army, viii then be
transferred from the active to the inactive
list 1t is simply a question of age, and
his physical and mental vigor and capacity
do not enter into the question at all.
Gossip rs to His Successor.
The approaching vacancy IN the head of
the engineer department of the army Is a
subject of general gossip in military cir
Giles, and speculation Is rife as to the per-
sorality of Gen Caseys successor 1t Is
agreed or all sides that the selection will lie
made from among the six colonies in the
corps of engineers. OF these Col. George
H. Menden is the senior ard Col. II. L..
Abott, the second in line: Following In
order of seniority come Col. VIM. =. Craig
hill Col. o. NJ. Poe, Col. H. II. Robert and
Col. j. NJ Wilson. 1t Is generally conceded
by military critics that Coils. Mendell, Alb
bolt and Poe may be safely eliminated
from the list of possible appointees, for
reason that each of them has less than a
years service on the active list. Col Men
dell will be retired for age in October next,
Col. Abbott in August Of this year and Col.
Poe in March. 1896.
Limited to Three CoIOre!s.
President Cleveland Is known to be op-
1oscd TO frequent changes in the head of
STAFF departments. and this policy If ad-
fered 10 in this case would be detrimental
to the chances for prefer:nent Of the three
officers named. Assuming that there Will

their own value, but because this opera

IN SICAL CIRCLES
Operas and Concerts to Be Presented After
Lent is Over.
Rehearsals of "COrOnet and Coin
and "Si-LoOtnh' Actively In
Progress.

Whatever goes on in musical circles next
week will be of a solemn and devotional
character, and will be confined to the
church choirs and the churches. But after
Easter there are large number OF pro-
jected entertainments, all OF which Will
appeal to different classes of the public for
encouragement and support. The Carrou
Institute Orchestra is preparing for con-
cert on the 18th instant, at which an attrac-
tive program will be presented. This or
garization Is already doing good Work
under the energetic and efficient leadership
of Mr. Sol. Minister, who has displayed
good executive force and discretion In
handling his men. While the number OF
performers is not so very large at present.
still all the members of the organization
seem to be earnest in their work, are reg
ular in their attendance at rehearsals, and
it is safe to say that they will present a
good showing when they appear before the
public.
On the 10th there will be the benefit con-
cert of the Morton Cadets, and the young
men composing that active and ambitious
organization are diligently engaged already
in dsposing of the tickets. Their efforts
will insure the presence of large audi
ence, and the talent already promised indi-
Gates a program that will be of unusual
excellence. Miss Annie Lewis, who is one
of the brightest little women that ever
went from Washington's amateur ranks to
the professional stage, will be heard In
some of her choicest songs. Mr.. George
H. OConnor will give a budget Of his &C.
centric and musical comedies while the
more serious but fully interesting numbers
on the program will be cared for by the
Carroll Institute Orchestra, the Philhar-
monte Quartet, Messrs. Collins and Cullen,
banjoists, with Mr.. Charles E. McErnany,
pianist the Apollo male quartet; Prof Mai
ma and Miss Mary Helen Howe.
music of which is the joint production of
Messrs. Hub. Smith and D. B. Mcleod,
will be given at the Academy of Music on
the oath and 18th. Rehearsals are actively
going on for this work, and both cast and
chorus are taking an unusual amount of
interest in making the production one
which shall reflect credit upon the authors
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-04-06

and upon all who participate in the pre-
sentation of the opera. The cast has al
ready been published and the names are
such as are well known in musical circles
and which will inspire confidence In the
general public. The opera is to be given
for the benefit of the Poor Chiidren's Coun-
try Home, charity that; is of the most
worthy character and one which should
appeal strongly to the benevolently dis
posed.
The friends of Mrs ]. T. Petty Of 1881 o
street northwest have been greatly pleased
during the past few days in listening to
the remarkable performance of little Matte
Gray Weaver of Front Royal, Va, who Is
Mrs. Petty's niece. Little Miss Weaver has
been visiting her aunt with her mother.
Mrs. w. c. Weaver, and has charmed all
who have met her by her brilliant piano
playing. She has a remarkable technique
for one so young, and plays with con-
siderable expression, not only in her solo
work, but in the duets which she plays
with her mother. The parents and friends
of the little girl anticipate great musical
future for her when she shall have been
placed under proper tuition and developed
in years and musical understanding.
The Sixteenth Street Baptist Church Is
about to follow the example of the Cal
vary Church and dispense with the serv-
ices of the excellent quartet choir: This
choir, which is composed Of Mrs. Thomas
c. Noyes, soprano; Mrs. c. B. Rheem, con-
tralto; Mr.. A. S. Mosher, tenor. and Mr..
N. D. Coward, bass. has. under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Percy S. Foster, done some
excellent work and has contributed in no
small degree to the interest of the services
in this church. 1t is to be regretted that
such an excellent organization of trained
voices should be broken up, for 1t Is I'M
derstood that their services win be dis
pensed with after Easter Sunday.
The annual concert of the "Olmo Mando-
lin and Banjo Orchestra" will take place

success, both artistically and socially. Mr..
A. V. Holmes, who so successfully drilled
and directed the large orchestra of mando-
Inns, guitars and banjos at the testimonial
concert of the Tuxedo Quartet, is their
manager and director. Phe members are
enthusiastic over the coming concert, and
are working hard to make it the best of
the season. They have secured excellent
talent, including the High School Mando-
lin and Banjo Club" Mr.. George H. O'Con-
nor, Miss Abbie Johnson and other we'll
known talent of the city. After the con-
cert they promise fine program for
dancing. 7,
All details affecting the coming produc-
ton of Si-Lootah; are progressing finely.

A FEDERATION LOOKED FOR.
Probable Convention of the Central
American Counfries.

Probable convention OF the central
American Countries.
A convention some time this year Of the
several countries of Central America with
a view to forming a confederation or union
similar to the United States is regarded as
a probability by Central American diplo-
mats here. These diplomats state that the
subject Is under discussion in their coun-
tries, and that time and place for the
convention probably will be fixed before
long. Two such conventions have been
held, one in Guatemala and the other in
Costa Rica, but they failed to effect def
mite results, although showing favorable
feeling among the influential classes to-
ward such a union. Recent events partic-
ularly the threatened war between Mexico
and Guatemala, has moro forcibly directed
the attention of the Central American
states to the desIrablity Of a federal ma
ton, and Great Britain's demands on Mica
ragua have tended in the same direction.
A diplomat of extended experience in Cen
trail America said today that the leading
public men and the people at large are so
strongly favorable to federation that in
his opinion it is sure to come.

convinces him that ninety per cent of the
democracy favors the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver at the ratio of 1G TO 1.
without waiting for the action of any for
eign government. He said: This move
