THE STEAM ENGINEERS.
Eccentric Association Committee Mt
the District Building.

committee representing the Eccentric
Association of Engineers conferred with
the District Commissioners by appointment
yesterday regarding the workings of the
steam engineers license law and the man
ner in which it affects the public and the
working engineer. Included in the delega-
ton were ]. H. Caldwell, James ]. Breen,
L. J. Garner, and A. w. Leeke. AS spokes-
man for the party Mr.. Breen presented
lengthy petition which set forth the posi-
tion of the association in the matter
This petition assumed that the District
Commissioners have authority to classify
steam engineers licenses and steam plants
into corresponding classes. IF this be
true" continues the document. then the
Commissioners have erred in the enforce
ment of this law. II 1t be not true then
the public has not the protection. against
calamity that is justly due it, because of
the fact that 4 first-class license is of
no more value, as reward OF high merit,
than license of the third grade; the third
grade engineer being allowed to assume
responsibilities for which he is not quail
fed.
IF the Commissioners have power to
classify the license, and not the plants, you
have imposed hardships on the engineers
by forcing many of them to pay fee of
- where the law only INTENDS Zee OF 50
for license of steam engineer. Our or
ganiZation always has. and does now,
advocate the licensing of steam engineers,
giving them a very rigid examination and
classification of the plants and engineers
alike. BY these means. we believe, the
men who take up the vocation of steam
engineering will be forced to become bet
ter citizens intellectually and morally"
! The petition also asked whether the
Commissioners have authority to classify
/ first, second, and third class steam en-
/ gineers licenses; whether the Commission
ers have authority to classify steam plants
| into three classes. giving each class stip-
ulated horse power such as will enable it to
1 be operated by corresponding grade of
( license; whether II will be lawful for a
person holding a required grade of license
to be held responsible for the safe opera
tion of a plant during the absence of such
persons from the plant; and whether the
police can make investigations and prose-
cutions for infractions of the law without
directions from Congress or the District
1 Commissioners.
The Commissioners took the matter IN
der advisement

sharp decline in prices varying
all the way to over ten points was
the record of the first day in the
stock market week. The traders were
in control at the opening and sold
stocks short without resistance, a
movement that was followed as prices
tumbled by the marketing of considerable
blocks Of long stock. This liquidation WIS
apparently OF accounts that had been car
ried over the Flower panic. 1t was an item
Of the situation that had not been counted
on even by the bears to any great extent.
At the opening of the day there was gen.
eral expectation OF another traders market,
with, perhaps, slight declines and later
rallies equally unimportant. Several pieces
of news that were not pleasant in mar
ket sense were seized by the bears and as
usual given more than their legitimate i'm
portance. The Ford bill talk. the yellow
fever scare. the very high prices OF wheat
the big decline in Sugar, and lastly, some
what foolish predictions that money will
shortly be exported, were all used for all
that they were worth and little more.

Third Assistant Postmaster General John
A. Merritt announced yesterday that he had
accepted the postmastership of Washington
and that he would enter upon the duties
of the office Immediately. The appoint
ment by the President. which will proba-
bly, be made today or tomorrow will be the
official announcement of the selection of
Mr.. Merritt for the position. The new
postmaster stated to Times reporter yes
terday that he had been notified by the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General that
his commission had been signed by the
President, and was then in the Postoffice
Department. Mr.. Merritt will be ready
to turn over his present office to his sue
cessor in a few days. He is not yet thor
oughly familiarized with the work of man
agement of the city postoffice and is con-
sequently undecided concerning the course
he will pursue in his new duties. Mr..
Merritt's commission was signed by the
President on Monday and reached the de-
partment late Monday afternoon. AS Tues
day was a holiday the official notice was
not given out. The announcement that
Edwin c. Madden, of Detroit, will be ap-
pointed to succeed Mr.. Merritt as Third
Assistant Postmaster General will proba-
bly, be made public in a few days. Mr..
Madden is connected with the Detroit
postoffice, and was a candidate for the
postmastership here. 1t is not known what
business Mr.. Willett, the present post
master, will engage in following his re-
tirement from the office which he has held
for almost five years. II will be -emem-
bered that shortly after his appointment to
the office by President Cleveland the firm
of Willett & Ruoff. hatters in Pennsylvania
Avenue, near Ninth Street northwest, made
an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
Since that time Mr.. Willett has not been
identified with business, devoting all his
time to the postofflce. He may establish
another hat store, but of this there is no
certainty

FIREWORKS FOR THE FOURTH.
A Restriction Likely 10 BE Placed
Upon Sales.

An objection to the sale OF fireworks
before July this year has been lodged
with the District Commissioners by
Thomas W. Gilmer, 545 Florida Avenue
northwest, and the probable result will be
the PRONUNCIATION of an order limiting the
sale TO the seven days intervening between
June rs and July l.
Major Sylvester. TO whom the communi-
cation was referred for consideration. re-
ported that he thought the suggestion re-
garding the sale OF frewarks quite rea-
sonable. He recommended that permits
10 store fireworks In the city be issued from
and after June 10. and that permits to
sell fireworks be limited from June Is to
July 4, both days inclusive, there being a
Sunday intervening. Major Sylvester
thinks this Will be sufficient time 10 permit
country people 10 purchase from the ner-
chants who sell in large quantities.
Commissioner Wight has approved the
recommendation and referred the papers
10 his associates for their signatures.

The weakness in Sugar was one of the
most depressing factors in the market yes
terday, and yet it is unquestionably the
fact that the decline of six points in this
stock was the work of manipulation. The
street received no news of the actual con-
dition of the affairs of the sugar COM
pany and its war with the other refineries,
and the public, as far as it participated in
the Sugar speculation, was a buyer as
much as a seller. There is a disposition
on the part of some of the keenest people
in the street to regard this tumble in Sugar
as a precursor of the ending Of the war and
a great advance in the price of the stock.
AS far as can be learned the Sugar div
idend Will be declared. as usual.
