Kicking At tbe Commlnnlon. WASIIIXOTOX. , March 23. fSpcclal Tele- pram to the Br.E.J Every one was sur prised lost nleht when It was announced from the white house that the president had perfected the board of Inter-state commerce commissioners with the names ot Augustus Schoonnmker of New York , and AUtnco F. Walker , of Vermont. The appointment of the other three members of the board wai In accordance with general prediction , but Schoonmakor and Walker had never been hinted at or suggested by any one. Democrats are very Indignant over the action of the president In giving the Ionic term to Judge Cooler , of Michigan , and southern men re particularly angry because Mr. Bragg , who Is a representative from that sec tion , is appointed for only two years. Be- ftldes there Is an exteislve erowl from men who reside west of the Mbwl&slppl , because of the fact that the president went no farther west than Illinois for a member of the board. The entire section across the mighty river 1ms been Ignored , and eve * the northwest , with all Its great railroad interests , is not represented except by a Michi gan mnn , who can scarcely be said to bo closely Identified with Wisconsin , Mlnno- Rota , Nebraska or Iowa. Altogether the board cannot be looked upon as an extremely satisfactory ono , nor Is It as well constructed as inlelit have been expected when It Is known that the president gave so much time and attention to the selection of Its members. An tbo appropriation carried by the bill provides for the salary of thn commissioners from Jannry 1. each one will find a quarter ot n year's BHlary due him when he qualities. Mr. Mor risen , however , could not be made a member of the commission until after the adjourn ment of conijrcrti , consequently there Is ques tion as to his right to receive the salary previ ous to tlio 4th of March. The Star to-nlchl says that Judeo Cooley Is to be president of the Inter-stato commerce commission aid that this will accord with the wishes of the president In the matter. Of the Inter-stiito commerce board , Colonel Willlnm H , Morrison is the only member at present In the city. The other members are expected here by Saturday nlfht ana the Im mediate organization of the board Is ex pected. It Is not thought that the commission will be reliy to perform ltd functions In full for some time to c me as the exact construc tion to be applied upon the various provisions ot the law Is at present a matter of grave doubt. It will bo necessary first to perfect the permanent TKanlzatl n f the board. This will require some time , as it is I in pos sible to iHdfO before hnndof the duties which will to required ot tb commissioners.

If this proves to be the case it IsprobAblethatMr. Mtrrlson will be nn exception , as he was a momoer of con gress at that time , and under the constitu tion could not be appointed to an oillce created by congress of which h was a mem ber. On th other hand , Comptroller Durham held that "Sunset" Cox was tn titled to salary as minister to Turkey as well as to toay as member * f congreas f rom the date of ( ha resignation f Mr. Pulltztr , In suite of tbe fact that Mr. Cox voted to Increase the compensation of tne minister of Turkey.

[ f'npvrfgftt 1337 tiv JamM Onnlnn JltnntttA HOME , March ai. IXcw York Herald Cable. Special to tlio 1JKE.I The part played by Archbishop Croke In the Father Keller affair has made nn unpleasant Impression at the Vatican , where , although all credit Is given to him for his patriotic Intentions , ho Is re garded as a kind of cnfantc terrible who may at ono moment compromise the church. The archbishop's sensation Is very embarrassing for the propaganda , which cannot , with all Its very real Irish sympa thies , countenance It Icrnlly. Hut as Archbishop Jacobin ! , secrctaiy of the propoganda. remarked to mo just now : "Until all the facts of the case nio before us , It will be prcmnturo to say such. Irishmen , however , have hot heads as well as good hearts. I fe < ir If they eo on as now much longer there will bo a civil war. The English government. Influenced , perhaps , by the landlords , seems bent on crushing the Irish , who are Inclined not to lot themselves bo crushed. " TUB HOLY SEP. KMnAnRASSHD. Archbishop Croko's Imprudence Is making It difficult for Iho holy see to continue Its present policy ot "masterly Inactivity" with regard to Ireland. There Is not the slightest wish at the Vatican to move a finger on behalf ot England. The Vatican has neither forgotten nor forgiven England's trlcklness in the matter of tbe Er- rlngton mission , but It cannot encourage any open defiance of the law. And , It on in quiry It should bo found that Archbishop Croke has overstepped the limits permitted by the Catholic church , he will doubtless bo called sharply though perhaps secretly to order. CARDINAL OinnONS' POPULARITY. Cardinal Ulbbons , whoso tact and perspi cuity have made him a great favorite In Home , Is quite overwhelmed by Invitations to dinners and receptions In his honor. lie has been out almost every evening since the consistory was held , and there has boena' constant flow of visitors at the American college , where the cardinal Is staying. SYMPATHY FOK UlELiAND. England' ) ) Tory Presi Ridicules the New York Meeting. [ rojit/rfw/it / 1SS7 by Jamc * Gordon nenntU. " ] LONDON , March 13. ! [ Now ork Herald Cable Special to the BIE.J : The Dally News of this morning devotes a column loan ac count sent by cable of the Irish meeting at Cooper union Monday. It gives extracts from the speeches of Mr. Charles A. Dana and ex-Governor Leon Abbctt and the fol lowing from the Herald's editorial on the subject : ' The ears which odron the heads of the British government must have burned last night , or there is no truth in the old saw. The 3,000 people who jammed Cooper Institute applauded to the echo every denunciation of the policy of wholesale evic tion by which Great Britain brings wretch edness on Ireland and dishonor to herself. " The Doily News adds that tlio other New York papers make no comment on the meet- Inc. Inc.The The Evening News ( tory ) makes severe comments on the ovnnt and terms the meetIng - Ing a dodge to catch Irish votes. The St. James Gazette , also tory , says : " 'American sympathy with Ireland'is the heading which the Dally News puts over its account of Uie meeting held In Now York yesterday. The sympathy in question was manifested by about 3,000 persons , who as sembled under the presidency of a newspaper editor to protest against the coer cive measures In contemplation toward Ireland. It would be very astonishing If , In a city with an Irish population ot half f a million , 3,000 people could not be got to gether to back np the Parnelllte conspiracy. It would be still more surprising If there had been any difficulty In obtaining the assist ance of an American politician or two , anx ious to catch Irish votes , and a couple of newspaper men , eager to catch the circulation of their Journals. The Her ald , which has probably the largest Irish clientage of any newspaper tn the world , warns us that this enthusiastic meeting indi cates the real feelings of Americans on this matter , but the llerald knows well that the real feelings of real Americans , If they could venture to express them , would be strongly in favor of throwing three-fourths of the persons who composed yesterday's meeting Into New York harbor. Gladstone's Reply to Dana , LONDON , March 23. Gladstone cabled the following message to Charles A. Dana , New York , In acknowledgement of the cable dis patch sent him by Dana to inform him of the endorsement of his Irish policy by the mass meeting of citizens at Cooper union Mon day : I am very sensible of the value ot the sym pathy which from the first we have received from , as 1 believe , a larze majority of the American people In our efforts to secure lust measures of good government for Ireland a sympathy which I feel sure will continue to attend us until this just policy shall attain its coming consummation. Another Prinot Ordered Arrested. DUBLIN , March 23.

JSpeclal to the UKE.I The great mnrder trial Is now fairly on. After weeks and months of anxious waiting tlio alleged murderer of llov. 3eonto C. Haddock has been arraigned In lie district court and will be tried atonro for ill llfo. Promptly at 9 o'clock this morning Judeo C. II. Lewis convened court. No ob- cctlon was raised , contrary to expectation on the part of the defense , to Judge Lewis ematnlng on the bench during the trial of ho case. Lung before the hour appointed 'or commencement alt the available srmco In the court room wes occupied by a crowd of citizens and strangers. All classes were rep resented showing the deep and wide spread ntercst In the proceedings. John Arensdorf , .he defendant , was accompanied In the court room by Ills wife and four of his small children. Ho was neatly and stylishly dressed , and had very much the appearance > f non-concern which charactered his bear * n < when his preliminary hearing was had In the Justice's court. However , a close ob server nnd one long acquainted with him , could readily discern a troubled expression about his mouth. To all Intents and jurposes Aicnsdorf is not concerned , jut ho is undoubtedly greatly troubled nwardly. During the day both Arensdorf and his wlfo have been on the alert , watch- UK every step taken very closely. A general surprise was occasioned Immediately upon the case being called this morning when United Status Attorney T. P. Murphy ad vised the court that he desired t withdraw from the case as associate counsel for the state. Ho stated Unit ho did not reach his conclusion because ol'nny misunderstanding or unpleasantness but solely because the prosecution was not able to pay him for his services. Mr. Murphy has been connected with the case for a number of uionttis and much had been expected of him. His with drawal at so late an hour is therefore ; all the more to bo regretted and Inexplicable. Dis trict Attorney Marsh resrets very much Mr. Murphy's action and suggested to the court the advisability of guaranteeing him a fee of $400 at least. If ho would remain In the caso. The defense Is evidently clatod over this turn In aft a Irs. At an early hour thin morning the work of empaneling a jury commenced. The 100 lurors wore all on hand and twelve were soon selected and ontorea the box. The ex amination then began as to their qnnllttcn- tlons , the questions being rigid. Few re mained la the box at the adjournment this evening. ICverythlns indicates that the 1m- panoiln of the jury will consume several days. If not IOBCOT. Af tor passing for cause ihe state has .ten peremptory challenges and the decease twenty , md tfcon they must ac cept such jurors as the court passes. Both prosecution and defence have now used half or more of their peremptory challenges. It was a noticeable thine to-day that the de fense used their peremptory challenges without a stint whenever a straightforward , honest , upright and conscientious farmer was called into thn box. Only ono or two ladles were noticed In the crowded court room daring the day. Mrs. Arensdorf and children did not appear dur ing the afternoon. Leavttt , the informer , is In the city , but does not leave his hotel , thinking probably that the outside air -would not be beneficial. He need fear no danger , towever. as there Isa widely dKTerentteellng icro now from that which prevailed six mouths ago. _ Railroad Right of Way. Sioux CITS , la. , March23.

A special meeting of the school board was held yesterday afternoon for the purpose of deciding upon the system ot heating to be used in the school build ings to be erected this year. The motion oflercd by Mr. Davis at the last meeting that the twelve-room building on Webster and Twenty-Eighth streets and the eight- room building in Omaha View be heated by steam was reconsidered. The board consumed an hour in discussing the matter , an effort being made by some ot the members to have the hot air system adopted for the Omaha View school. The original motion finally prevailed adopting the steam heating system for ooth of the .schools. Building Permits.

[ Correspon dence of the HEI : . ] Not a little Interest centers In classic Boston anil still more classic Cambridge , around the concert which is to bo given to-morrow night In Horticultural hall by tlio Harvard Glee club , Uanjo club and Pierian sodality , under the auspices of the Classical club. This concert is to bo given for the benefit of the American school at Athens , an In stitution which Americans in general are InditTorcut about , but which Dr. Charles Waldstein , the eminent archirologist , has succeeded in rousing some interest in by n Bourse of instruction and entertalninz lectures. Tills school is an Institution of which every American student ought to feel proud , and a word in regard to its history may not bu amiss. Thd school was founded five years ago for the purpose of giving American stu dents a chance to pursue nioro advanced classical studies than they could do to advantage in our universities. Up to the present time the school has occupied a rented house and has received its entire support from the annual contributions of twelve or fourteen leading American colleges. Besides the payment ot house rent , library appropriations and inci dental expenses , these colleges have each in turn sent a professor to Athens who acted as director for ono.year without ex pense to tlio school. Under tins provi sional arrangement tlio school has boon doing good worn , with increased num bers and every prospect of increasing usefulness. STUDENTS AND I'llOFBSSOIlS have been diligent and thoroughand their work haa been cordially recogni/.ed at home and abroad. Tlio coming year will mark a now era in the history of tlio school. It is no longer to live in a rented house , but is henceforth to have a homo of its own. A royal edict from thn government of Greece has given to the school a valu able piece of land on Mount LycabcttiH , containing about an acre and a half. This liberal gift inspired tlio pic-motors of the enterprise with now zeal , and that the land might be immediately made use of , they supplied the necessary funds for the erection and furnishing of n suitable building , which will bo ready for occu pancy by next October. It is evident that the school could never become n successful rival of the French andGcrman schools there , if the director were changed every year , but this dilli- ctilty may now be considered ns over come , since Dr. Wnldstcin has accepted the position as permanent director , pro vided a fund bo established for the ex penses of the school and the salary of the director. It lias boon a source of much congrat ulation to Americans that while the French and Gorman schools of Athens have been for many years maintained by subsidies from their respective govern ments , the American school has had a never failing source of beneficence , rich er and wiser than any public treasury , to which it could turn in confidence. Our men of wealth have been willing and oven eager to take the place of the gov ernment in this particular. Wo' may also pride ourselves in the words of Dr. Lightfoot , Bishop of Dur ham , and a distinguished English scholar. He spoke in 1885 at a public meeting in London , as fellows : TIDE msuoi-'swoiiDS. It now touches our honor as Englishmen "very nearly that this scheme should be car ried out without delay. France and Ger many have lone been in the field. France hasher school and Germany her institute ; and even America has forestalled us In this race. That new country , notwithstanding the vast and absorbing interests of the present , notwithstanding the boundless dopes of the future , has been eager to claim her part In the heritage. While all the civil ized nations of the world , no after another , have established their literary councils In Athens , shall Kneland alone be unrepre sented at the center of Hellenic culture ? ' These words have boon fruitful and now a British school stands on n slope ot Mount Lycabettus and land adjoining our own. AUJMINI BASE DATL. It is eminently proper , in connection with such a subject as the foregoing , to say that the literary people around hero and in college circles generally , are con gratulating themselves that the now Col lege Base Ball league has been formed. A movement has been on foot for a long time for an improvement in college base ball , and at last tlio scheme has come to a head. The colleges forming the now league are : Harvard , Yale , Princeton and Columbia' There will probably bo no doubt in the future as to which college lias the best team , as four games with each will bo amply sufficient to deter mine the superiority. Columbia can no longer sav that Harvard is afraid to admit her into the league , and Yale need no longer fear that the smaller colleges are leagued against her in order to let some other team win the championship. In short , the now league contests will bo battles of peers , and they will never lack interest for want of line playing on both sides. The season will begin April 'M , with the Harvard-Columbia game in New YorK , and end Juno 28with the Harvard- Yale game in New Haven. THAT DISASTER on the Boston & Providence railroad just south of this city is only a repetition of the horrors of White Ilivor junction barring the absence of tire. The scones immediately after the accident are too painful to dwell upon , but sadder still in ray mind , are the sad pictures at the homos of the victims. Crape hangs at many doors in Uosliudalo and Douham and West Uoxbury. The accident is still the all absorbing topic on the streets and places of business in Boston , and one hears everywhere the same remark : "It's awful ! It'a terrible ! " The scenes at the wreck are animated in the extreme. Thousands of roho hunters , men , women and children , visit the place daily. If the people wcro al lowed to do so they would very soon carry awav the debris at the present rate , piece by piece. I met a little gamin on Brooklmo street yesterday. Ho was cnr- rvinc a big chunk of wood so largo that he cSuld hardly lift It. "Uin to do wreck , mister , " ho said. "Got a relic. " "And what are you going to do with it ? " I asked. , , . "IJunno , " ho answered , "guess I'll take it home and nicbbo some old lady'JI gimme half a dollar for it. " Where the fault lies nnd just who is to blame for the accident Is unfair to nrc- lud e before tlio olliclnl investigation. Public opinion has it that the bridge was unsafe. A number of estimates have been made as to the amount of damages the road will have to pay. Such esti mates are more or less problematical , as many cases will have to bo determined by a jury trial. Some have put tlio amount at $500,000 , while others estimate a much higher figure. THE TIIKATKItS AIIK AI.IVK with good entertainments this week. At 'tho liollis street the Conried Opera com pany Is giving the "Gypsy Baron" of Strauss , which is the first production of the ot era In this city.

IN ins swonn TOMIUT last night with Mr. Win. Muldoon , tlio celebrate athlete , Mr. Downing received a slight cut on the right hand.

It in a bon bon for cultivated tastes , a real literary luxury , representing the time of Queen Anne , when the duohoss ol Marlborough - borough and Lord Uoltnjjbroko were battling for favor at court.
