COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Ross to Be Probably Nominated to Sue
ceed Himself. &.
The President Waiting Until Mr..
Davis is Confirmed as United
States District Attorney.

AS already indicated in The Star, it is
appoint a Commissioner of the District
next week, and the probabilities are that
the nomination will be sent to the Senate
early in the week. Although not officially
admitted, there is good reason for the be-
lief that the President has decided upon
the reappointment of Commissioner ROSS
for another term. 1t is reported that he
informed a prominent member of the
Senate District committee upon the assur-
ance of that gentleman that such ncmina-
tion would undoubtedly be promptly con-
firmed
The question of selecting a successor to
Engineer Commissioner Powell is also un-
der serious consideration. and it Is not at
all unlikely that a change in that office
may occur next week or before the close
of the present administration. This office
is filled by detail from the engineer corps
Of the army. The appointment is entirely
within the discretion of the President the
detail rot being subject to the action of
the Senate. 1T is supposed that some new
names are under coEsidera ton for this
assignment, but they arr carefully guard
ulation.
The appointment in the case of Commits
sioner Ross is delayed only by the failure
OF the Senate to act on the nomination of
Mr.. Davis as United States district attor-
ney, and it is said that the coniirma ton
of the latter viii be followed Immediately
by the nomination of successor to Mr..
Ross. The rejection of Mr.. Davis nomi-
nation or a failure to act upon it may
cause still further delay in the matter of
indications point to settlement of the
matter during the coming week.

TEST OF A BIG Gun.
\ Distinguished Party Witnessed 1t
mt Fort Warrington.

mt tOft "aHhl hlnEfOn.
On the invitation Of Cen Flagler chief
of ordnance, distinguished party of Off
cials went down the river TO Fort Washing
ton today to witness the firing of ten
inch rifle on disappearing carriage The
general project for the defense of Wash
inston includes the construction of en-
placements at Fort Washington and at
Sheridan Point, on the opposite side Of the
river, for three ten-inch and three eight
inch guns, mounted on disappearing car
riages. The distribution Of the mounts
between the two Notifications is as yet an
official secret, but 1t is understood that
there will be three high-power guns on each
side of the river at the points indicated.
The big gun subjected to a practical test
today is the only one in position, although
another gun of the same caliber is nearly
ready for mounting at Fort Washington.
The work OF putting these guns in position
is in charge Of Lieut.. Morrow of the engi
neer corps, acting under the orders of Col.
Allen, the engineer officer in general charge
OF the fortification works in this vicinity.
The party that went down today to in
spect the work at Fort Washington in
cluded Secretary Lamont, Gen. Flagler,
chief Of ordnance; Gen. Wilson, chief of
engineers, and Col. Allen and Capt. Black
of the same corps; Major Bliss, the secre-
tary's military aid; Lieut.. Wheeler of the
ordnance, and nearly all the members of
the Senate and House committees on mill
tary affairs.
The party left this city about 1890
O'Clock this morning and returned about
3 o clock, having spent nearly two hours
in an inspection Of the work in progress
in the rejuvenated old fort, which was
