The first man received at the white house In-day was Mr. Whitney. Ho re mained In secret consultation with the presi dent for over an hour , and Is said to have ubmlttcd a detailed report ot what was as certained concerning the feeling In reference to the general policy of the administration , The president Is evincing great solicitude In regard to the appointment of commissioners to Investigate tbe books of the Pacific rail roads , and It Is known that ho Is asking his friends for advice , the first time ho has done men a thing , lie has also made Inquiry among his friends In New York about the appointment of a secretary ot the treasury and treasurer , and ho Intends to please his own state as tar as possible in selecting these officers.

RhQUKSTINfi ITH KNFORCF.SIKNT. Demands are being made ti ] > on tlio presi dent to execute the authority vested In him by the act of congress last moutti and retali ate against Canada on account of her acts against our tLshliig vessels. It Is believed by many that the president may comply , as the navy department has renewed the prosecu tion of the Imiulry begun some time ago rcla tlve to the ability of the railways and canals of tbo country to transport boats and naval material from sen to Inland waters. It has been learned that the facilities of the existing railroads are limited to ability to transport boats of an extreme length of 110 feet , while the Krlo canal will permit the passaze from the Atlantic ocean to tlio lakes of torpedo boats 100 feet In length. As torpedo craft necessary for the defense of lake ports are not required to be as seaworthy and as large as those Intended for the protection of ttie tea coast , It is believed that the existing f cillties are ample. TIIK I'UUUC PRINTING OFFICE. Not a llttlu agitation continues over the Wholesale dismissals from the government printing olllco. Public Printer Benedict ways ho Is dlsm Isslng , as fast as he finds them , the Incompetents harbored by Rounds , and that he will not hesitate to do as fast as lie llnds them. Rounds , ft Is Slid , had a lot of dead wood In tlio nfllco In the shape of per sonal friends , nnd before he left ho covered them up for protection as far as possible. Mr. Benedict was seen to-day , and Bpeakiag of the discharges last Saturday , said there were some democrats among them. "I nave now before me , " ho said , picking up a letter from his desk , tlio letter ot a democratic senator , lie writes that ho regrets that 1 had found It necessary to discharge Mr. . wiiom he ( the senator ) had ap pointed , una continues , 'but 1 fear bo has brought It about bv his own Imprudence , He is a line man and a useful citizen , If he would only let whisky alone * In my reply , continued Mr. Benedict , 1 said the dis charged nmn had no enemies hero but him self. ' " Uunedlct went on to say that In a largo force , such as ho em ployed , reasons for discharges on per sonal grounds arose almost dally. "But , " he proceeded , "J have a larger force than I can carry and I shall reduce It. 1 shall make reductions In my own time , and the rule of the 'survival ot the Attest' shall prevail , all other tlilnis being equal. " The public printer did not oven seem inclined to make any response to tlio allegation that ho wasendoavorlng to make places fur democrats. lie said If there was any object In creating the Impression that ho was Irving to help the democratic party ho would not attempt to correct that Impression. VAN WYCK ON INTWt-STATF. COMMERCE. Among the president's callers to-day was ex-Senator Van \Vyck , of > cbraska , who is finishing up some private Duslness before re turning home. "Everything polntsto a com bination by the railroads , " said Van Yfyck , "with a view to making the Inter-state commerce law as obnox ious as possible to the people. For instance , I see that the Pennsylvania road lias already announced an Increased rate of 30 per cent on commutation tickets , and the Baltimore & Ohio Is preparing to follow suit Thou , too , the companies throughout the west are calling in outstanding thousand-mile tickets , declaring that the law also prohibits their Issue. Such an Idea never entered the beads ot tbo framorri ot the bill , and there Is nothing , either directly or Indirectly , In the law that Is applicable on the point These tickets were a great accommodation to mer cantile travellers , and their recall by the rail roads will not have a tendency to make many substantial friends for the now statute. " RANDAI/L AND TIIK HKI'IIIILICANS. It is rumored to-dav thnt the reason that Representative Randall's district was exempted from republican gerrymander of the Pennsylvania congressional dls trlcts was that the republicans In congress propose to combine with the anti-tariff reform democrats and elect him speaker of the house. Randall's district was wived. It Is stated , bv dint of work of the Cumerons , a few tariff protection democrats In Pennsylvania wbo are manipulating the scheme tolmake Randal the sneaker aud relegate Mr. Carlisle. The report Is attracting considerable attention since it comes from a seemingly reliable source. Mr. Randall Is In the city but re fuses to say anything on the subject.

Ktio HcAOhei Qtiocnstown After n ItotiRti and Perilous Voyage. Qt'KKNSTOWN , March 23. The Dauntless passed Oldhcad , off Klnsalo , at 3:15 : this af ternoon , A tug left hero with j.re. corre spondents to meet the Dauntless and accom pany her to Kocho's Point The o Dicers of the Coronet and other yachtsmen are greatly pleased with the result of the race and say It senod to show the admirable qualities of both yachts. Considering the difference In tonnage and length of the two yachts and the extraordinary heavy weather which pre vailed durine the voyage , the Dauntless Is thought to have done as well as her competi tor. The officers and trlonds of both yachts will bo entertained by the members ot thu lloyal Cork Yacht club. The Dauntless crossed the finishing line at 0:45 : o clock. Her actual time on passage was 10 days. 1 hour , 4 : ) minutes and 13 seconds. She has been towed Into the harbor and Is now safely at All on hoard the Dauntless are well and the yacht Is In as good slmpo as when she loft Owl's Head. She experienced about the same weather as the Coronet. A comparison of the logs ot the two racers In dicates that they followed about the same course. Caldwell Colt , owner of the Daunt less , says that he encountered more wind than he bargained for. For sixteen hours his boat was obliged to lay to. Once she scudded before the gale under bare poles. AY hen last seen trom the deck ot the Coronet on the evening of the start the Dauntless was steer- me south-southwest , but during the night her course ' was changed to northwest by east. On March 111 pho ran Into n beavr cross-sea with a strong southeast gale. Oil was used with good effect to break the waves and the yacht weathered her lirst storm well. The next day the sea was even more turbulent and broke over the 'deck In rapid succession , wrenching the yacht so much that slio began to leak Jslightly. The temperature of both the air and water on the afternoon of the 18th Indicated that ice was In close proximity and it became necessary to use great precaution In running. At midnight the thermometer registered 44 degrees and the water 85. An hour later the temperature ot the air was 40 degrees and the water 28. At 6 o'clock on the night of the 19th. when a heavy gale was blowing from the southwest , a smooth stretch of water was run Into. Its temperature Indicated that there were lcclxirir.8 near. There was a quantity of solid Ice to leeward and very near. On the 20th , 21st and 23d there were strong gales. It was on the lost ot those days that the Dauntless hove to. Since last Thursday the weather was lino. On the 23th a run of 1W8 miles was made , which Is said to be the best vor made by a yacht on the Atlantic ocean , "as t not light was sighted at 1:30 : In the morn- ; ig , but the wind had died out and the run long the coast was slow , During the storm > f the 23d the cockpit was , on several occa- ions. Illlecl with water and altogether it was iwrilous time for the yacht On the 24th tie sea was terribly rouidinnd the boat rolled io badly that the water tank burst , The sea- non wore consequently put on the smallest possible allowance of water , but later on they tvcre plentifully supplied with ale and claret nd ultimately with champagne instead of vator. All on board arrived in the best of lealth. During one of the severe calcs on the pas- air e two men were washed from the wheel iiui only saved from going overboard by the ashlngs with which they were bound. Fox Offers a Cnp. NEW i'ouK , March 23. Richard K.

WASHINGTON. March 23. The navy department - partment Is still prosecuting Inquiries bozun some time ago relative to the ability of the railroads and canali to transport boats and naval material from the sea to Inland waters.

As torpedo craft Is necessary for the ilcfnuso bf the laku ports and are not required to bo us seaworthy and as large as those Intended for the pro tection of the SPH coast , It Is believed that the existing facilities ore ample. The fact that these Inquiries by the department wcro begun by the department nioro than a year ago Is regarded bv naval officers as sufficient nuswer to any Inferoncotliat might bo drawn to the effect that they Indicate preparations for a struculo growing out of the llshurlus dispute. . „ , 1'rlzo FlKhtcra Arrested.

In the six teenth round Mitchell struck Smith a heavy blow In the stomach , canslne him to fall on his face from sheer weakness. Then the seconds rushed In and their wrangllnc caused a general rush of spectators to thn ring. A scrne of disorder ensued , In the midst of which the referee declared the tight a draw.

Fr.inko's Benefit Pythian Points Governor Cunibn'ck's Lecture The Hirer Hitting the P < no- ' dosed Jly , Creditors Moljaitchlln Didn't Show Up. Fully 1,500 people crowded the sidewalk around the exposition building nt 8 o'clock Itxst night prepared to put up their money to witness the wrestling match between Charles Moth , the champion Grroco- Horann wrestler , nnd Colonel J. H. Mo- Lnughlin , of Minneapolis. The building was dalle , however , and the doors wore locked. On the inside Moth nnd Secretary Minor , of the exposition nsociation , wore encaged in a wrestling match that was not on the bills. Colonel McLaughlin had failed lo mnko his appearance nnd Secretary Miner refused to open the doors for the admission of the spoctators. Moth was wrathy , He had a match ar ranged between Samuel Matthews and Elliott Edwards and was going to follow this with a match between himself and Adolf Rojco , , who hnd agreed to help out in the emergency of McLaughlin's non- arrival. Moth saw $1,000 In sight in the nudicnco and wanted it. Ho proposed to explain MoLaughlin's failure to ap pear nnd to refund the money to any of the spectators who would not be satis- lied by the substitute programme that ho would present. Many of the in on who wcro waiting outside announced that such a programme would satisfy them and clamored for admission. Mr. Miner was obstinate. The exposition associ ation , ho said , once had an experience with an enraged audience thnt wont to co Duncan floss whoa ho failed to pro- > ont the advertised attraction and hat ho did not hanker after i repetition of the scones of thnt memorable night. Ha refused , therefore , to open the doors unless McLaughlin ap peared. After a great deal of parleying 'ho match was declared off and the crowd eluctantly dispersed. Colonel Mo- jaughliu's fniluro to arrive is explained in the grounds of severe sickness in his amily. Ho is said to have been over- .akcu at Sioux City , on his way to Omaha , by a telegram compelling him to return to Minneapolis. It in expected that the match will take place next week , prob- ibly on Wednesday evening. The Ball Club in Practice.

The men mot in the buildMig in the afternoon and indulged in alj 'hour's practice at pitching and catching. The lirst thing dcrclopod by the practice was the fact that the Omaha club Ifasju cyclone in Dan O'Loary , the left handed pitcher. Kroh- nicyer , ono of the best catchers in the west , when asked by/Bandlo to catch a little for O'Leary quietly excused himself and said that ho had been thcro. Ilarter and Bandlo then caught in turn. O'Loary is a big muscular fellow with wonderful speed nudja complcto mastery of the curves.

Disgraceful As mentioned in the Bet , last night , Charles Kirk , a barber of this city , en gaged yesterday afternoon in a glove fight with Jimmy Donovan , a "capper" for a local gambling house , tbe fight com ing off in a private room in this city. It was a trifle after 4 o'clock when both men jumped , stripped for business , into the rfug. Kirk was slightly heavier than his opponent , who , however , appeared to be of moro muscular build than the other man. Kirk was socondotl by Clew and Donovan van by Paddy Norton. Seth Cole and Zeke Murdoch acted 'as timekeepers. Charles Moth wns referee. For the lirst few seconds the mon glared cautiously at ono another , each ono seemingly waiting for nn opening. Finally Kirk made a tremendous rush at Donovan and planted his right square on the Irishman's nock. Donovan dropped to the lloor , bellowing with pain. A shout of derision .from the spectators greeted him as ho staggered to his feet. Tie made a feeble thrust at Kirk , but was met with a stunninjj blow in the face , which again floored him. Ho picked himself up and staggered across the ring , followed by Kirk , Whb" again hit him m tlio neck , hurling liim against the wall , lie crawled to his cornier , but was told by his seconds that he must light and meekly walked to the centeJ-'W ' the ring again , only to bo met By a fearful upper cut blow , which flooredlilin ( for the tiiird time.

Ho was knocked down once > roore by a hurricane blow from Kirk , anil again retreated to his corner. "I'mrj through , " ho said feebly , looking at fyrfa with a half dazed look. i "Sit down , then.'lif you're through , " said Kirk. Donovan sat dow with a "dull thud , " nnd retreated amid jeers from the spccta tors. Donovan is said to be a Imlf-wittod fol < low. Ho is no more a match for Kirk than the latter is for Sullivan. It is a howling shame that ho should have been so burtally imposed upon by the men who persuaded him to tro into this fight. The profits of tbo matoh , about $100 , was gobbled by the sure thing mon who man aged the affair and who claim to be promoters meters ofpport. A Possible Accident.

The tcstlmonliil concert tendered Nnhnn Frnnko last evening nt the oporn house was a most gntlif ying success from every standpoint. The audience wits one of the largest that has been known to turn out hero nnd wns composed nt rep resentative citizens. Enthusiasm was unbounded and the most unlimited ap plause grcotod the artists who contribu ted to the entertainment. The pro- gramme was an exceptionally plonsing one combining as it did variety and ex cellence. The performers included the rory cream of Omaha talent assisted by Miss Borta Damon a talented actress who came up from Kansas City , and Madame Muentcforliifr. of Topcka. The opening overture was a solclcction rom the "Barber of Seville" given in a most spirited aannor by the military band. The finely irillcd organization was appreciated to ho extent of a rousing encore. Mr. 'nmko then followed with a Mendelssohn onccrto , which was given with all the oul and delicacy that is so characteristic of his work on the violin. Praise is super fluous with an artist of such high rank and it was never moro so than last night. Mr. Franko never played more oxquls- toly , and that spontaneous , unanimous > urst of applause tlnit expresses more han all else followed his every selection. iladamo Mucntefcring played Chapin's 'Ballade a Flat" with a great deal of earnestness and considerable fire , nnd vas duly applauded. The Mendelssohn [ uarletto , Mrs. Cotton , soprano ; Miss lath , contralto ; W. B. Wilkins , tenor , and Hovel France , bass , sang Pin- uti's "Parting Kiss" faultlessly. The quartette is getting to bo a feature of every itrst-class musical entertainment md no concert is now considered quite sat- sfaetory without the rich and perfect inrmony of their voices. The remark able properties of the sovaral voices , their n'ucision of attack and oneness of feei ng constitute them an organization thnt would carry away honors in any metropo- is. Miss Bcrta Damon followed with n > ( quant recitation entitled "Money Musk. " The young lady is ono of the mglitest nnd most captivating lights of he stage , and she fairly brought down ho house last night. On bcjng recalled slio gave another racy selection and was uundatcd with magnificent llorul offer- UCH. Miss Francesca Koedcr made her lobut last night as ono of our rising mezzo sopranos , nnd went through the ordeal with much credit to her self and her teacher , Mr. Franko. The ainv "O Mio Fernando" displayed well her soft yet full tones and made her the recipient of an encore and also a floral tribute. The Vlozart string quintette gave n cradle song by Kjerulf and n serenade by Moskowski and justified their inevitable reputation as an organization. Mmo. Muentcfering then played the Faust waltz by Gouuod-Lizst , uiul the apprecia tion of the juidienco manifested itself in the bestowal of flowers on the pianist. The Omaha Licderkranz sang the Hunter's chorus from Do Frcysputz ac ceptably and Mr , Franko again held the audience spell-bound with his superb liandling of the violin in the Witches' Dance. The concert ended with the March from Nibolungon by the military band , and this was encored nnd an effective patrol given. Much of the lionors must bo conceded to Martin Cahn. whoso faultless accompaniments added much to a linishcd nnd satisfactory per formance. Altogether , Mr. Franko has reason to feel gratified over the success of the concert aud the tribute thereby paid lo his genius. KNIGHTS OF PYTUIAS.

This Slanderer "faoine people" is in every community , and the reputation or char acter of no one is absolutely safe from his onslaught. lie is u monster in the dnrk , hiddun far from view , and like a viper striken from under cover. Ho is every' where. In the church , politics and soei cty is to bo found the poison of the slnn derer's ' tongue. It permeates every home , nnd frequently draws down to Ignoraing and lasting stums the fair name of woman. In the church fre quently the pastor nnd the prominent members of his flock are druwn into n vertical dirogution by a mem ber of their own church , who is nuvcr happy unless ho knqws he has made nn effort to smirch tie | character of some npblo mon. It id im possible to tall the slanderer from the rest of us. The .individual la prominent in both j > oxea ; or perhaps more in the male than the fnmnle , In Japan , it Is said , when n Japaue.su Hluudpus a fellowman man , he drives the knife into bis own lioarl.

At Yunkton , D. T. , nenrlv the same depreciation of water was marked , Pierre boln < ; about half way between Omaha and Bismarck , it is safe to calculate upon the fall of the river being general. Some of the old water dogs of steamboat days wcro pre dicting last evening that the Juno rise would bo higher than the present one , owing to the great amount of snow in the mountains. Wyoming's Cnttlo. Colonel A. T. Babbitt , manager of the Standard Cattle company , ono of the heaviest of Wyoming's cow corporations , was nt the Millnrd yesterday. Ho ( is re turning from Now York. Ho stated that the hitherto good weather ot the month now elapsing had saved cattle men mill ions of dollars. Had March been a severe month thousands of steers , which became weakened by the severity of early winter and have barely managed to exist since , would have succumbed. As it is , they have gained enough flesh , from the fine weather in this month , to stand any brief storms which may come , and the loss will not bo severe.
