WASHINGTON BUIlKAUTtlBOMAIU. QBE , I 518 FooiiTEESTaSTnnr.T , > WASHINOTON. D. C. , March 10.1 Up till n Into hour to-dny the Now Yom politicians In Washington were unnblo to de termine from what they could lenrn whothoi the president had finally made up his mind to appoint n New York man at nil ns ccm inlssloncr of pensions. Some were of the opinion thnt ho would select Corporal Tan > ncr , of Brooklyn , others thnt Major Poole , of Syracuse , would have the lead , whllo still more thought that neither of these gcntlcmer would bo selected , but thnt Mr. Hart , ol Brooklyn , woiild recclvo the appointment as public printer. This nftornoon , .however , a number of leading republicans from Illinois called on the president to present the claims Of an Illinois man for the nonslon commts sloncrshlp , and to talk nbout other matters Before they loft the president' gave them tc understand that ho had determined to np point Corporal Tanner. If this is a fact , anil it seams to-night ns though It really Is , then Is very llttlo chance for the appointment of c Now York man ns public printer. The president has not distributed his appoint ments with any particular cyo to the geographical graphical location of the individual candl dates , but if n Now York man should bo so lectcd for public printer , there can be HttU doubt that the Indorsements which have boci presented In behalf of Mr. Hart are strouj. enough to give him tlio place against nil coin petltors. But Mr. Hart resides in Brooklyn , nnd It Is not likely thnt the presided oven while Ignoring to n great degree geographical graphical lines , could think of giving to thl1 one city the important places of secretary ol the navy , cummissloncr of pensions nnd pub lie printer. Ho realizes that the country ol Kings was largely instrumental In cnrrymj the state of Now York for the republicat tleuet , but oven his dcslro to reward the inei who made this possible would hardly leai him to give thrco of the very best places h his gift to this ono city. LOWIilt CALIFOItXIA. General Vandever , of California , who lost session introduced a bill for the acquisition of Lower California , said to-day : "Lowe : California is exciting considerable interest on account of the alleged gold discoveries ir that region. If the stories that are told o the recent finds prove to bo oven partially true , n tidal wave of immigration will ilooc that country from the United States tlm will overwhelm all opposition to Amcrlcar occupation , oomo from what quarter It may There Is no peed reason why American ant Mexican adventurers may not tninglo it Lower California in generous rivalry in thoh search for gold , but if the International com puny that has obtained a precarious and con tlngent title to much of the country , under takes through the Importation of Chinese coolie labor to assert its claim to the right ol working the mines , trouble of a very serious tinturo will certainly result. In such n con ttiiRcnoy the International company clnlir will not bo respeotcd , nor will the Chinese bo permitted to operate under its auspices nor for Its bcncilt. Whatever re wards may bo gained by operating the pro Jllle gold fields in Lower California , must Insure to the people of the two republics nnd not to the International company , whicl is believed to bo little clso than the agent ol 6n English syndicate. The suggestion of nr amicable acquisition of the title to Lowci California by the United States , made it congress nt its lata session , seems to bo par tlcularly distasteful to the Internationa company. reasonableness of that pro position under the changed conditions by ttu events of n few months of mining excite incut may change the.cwholo aspect of th < question. Possibly the interests of boll 'Mexico and the United States may , soonci than is now apparent , require American oc cupation , if not the purchase of the country , but the occupation must In any event be r peacolul und mutually honorable and accept able to both countries , though disastrous to the speculative values of the International company , operating in the interest of En glish capital and English greed. AIIMY JIATTUKK. r It is ono of the ambitions of a regular arm.v ofllcer to obtain a position in ono of the stnfl departments , whcro promotion is more rapid , grades are higher , the duties nro more agree- ublo and thu stations more pleasant. The Tiest Indications of this general dcslro Is found In the strife that always takes place whenever a vacancy occurs in one of these nttractivo havens , it frequently being the case that five officers of the line nro applicants for the place , while it is not unusual tc find the number running up to a hundred. There are already , ills understood , upwnidt of u hundred applicants for the vacancies ; that will bo caused by the promotions inci dent to the retirement of Adjutant General lrum on the ' 'Sib of May. The position will uo that of an assistant adjutant general. There 1ms always been , since the war , mucn rivalry between the graduates of the mili tary academy und those officers appointed tc the ui my from tbo volunteers or from civil } ifc , especially in regard to the matter of staff appointments , nnO neither sldo has been slow to claim nn undiio preference given to the other , U'ho following memorandum , prepared by an tirmy ofllccr witn great care , shows the exact I number of officers in the various stair depart uicnts , with reference to the source of the appointments. It shows the state of tlu Btaff at the present time , and excludes tin engineer ordliianco corpt , chaplains unc medical corps , since they are not open U general npnolntmont from tbo army. Of tin * 17 officers in the adjutant general's depart incnt , 11 nro graduates und U non-graduates inspector general's department , 1 gradual ! and 0 not ; judge advocate's department , ' . graduates and 0 not ; quartermaster's depart went , 'JO graduates and 37 not ; subsistenci .deniutmcnt , 18 graduates und 8 not ; pay do Vsrtmont , 3 graduates and HS not graduates This gives n total of 1GU officers , of whom C ! nro graduates und 101 non graduates.

" There was an air of "we're nil right" and "sldo entrances" noout their that spoke of n life-long ncquatntuncu with the proprietors , but somehow they Wcro not inclined to gives tips as they do nt the races ns to the plans on which they based their hopes.

" As n rule they gel it good enough to kill on the Iowa .side ol the river n week after date but they carried it away , nnd the bar-tenders figured ur how much vltroll , fusil oil and other chemicals they had sold to just sucli suckers , without reckoning how many constitutions they would shatter , 01 stomachs they .would turn nick. " 'Twill be the dhrvost St. Patrick's daj 1 know of since I fell Into the pond at 'Pyr rols' Pass , gone on twenty-seven years ago next Sunday , " said n gentleman who came In from Wahoo to attend to-morrow's celebration , "an1 if I'd known of il In time , I'd hov stayed where I was.

Ho received nn ovation which could not bo excelled lu polntnitavnrmth nnd sociability. Ho was nlMrcdJx in n dross suit nnO entered the banquet hnll on the arm of Joseph J. O'Donoghuo. Ho took nsont on tbo right of the nj-csBlng oftlcc ; while Mayor Grant was given h corrcsondtng seat on the other sldo. The dining room was nppropri- ntoiy daapod with American and Irish colors. Joseph J. O'DonvgHflo ' , ns president of tbc organization , presided nt the cen tral tnblo , arid when the ban quet had ended , first introduced ox > Uhlof Justlco Daly , of this city , who spoke to the toast , "Tho Day Wo Celebrate , " nftcr which n murmur of anticipation filled the hall , for nil know tlmt the ox-prosldont was next on the list , nnd to him had been assigned the iluty of responding to the sentiment , "Tho United States. " When the president's brief introduction concluded with Cleve land's name tbo diners cheered lustily. While the din was nt Ho height , Cleveland , his fnco n trltlo pale , slowly arose nnd nccnowlcdgcd ) > lho reception given him. The cheering having finally subsided , Cleve land , speaking clearly and easily , said ! "Tho words to which I respond glvo rise to suoh various and Impressive reflections that I llnd it difllcult to determine the line of thought which should bo followed. What is naturally and obviously suggested by the sentiment proposed Is n country marvelous in its growth and developments , great in its power nud wealth , nnd free In the characters of Its institutions and spirits of Its people. There Is nlso suggested n broad * nnd hospitable country , which opens ltc gates to the people of nil nations who tmmvlllInK to assume the duties of American citizenship in exchange for n share in the blessings which Oed has in store for the American people. Nor can It be suld that 4 lu national selfishness und sordid con- plntcency our country Is blind to the wellnra of others. Wherever there exists n struggle for a freer government nnd for man's en franchisement , there will bo found the nid nud sympathy of the people of the United States. In this wo but follow the prompt ings which our free condition Inspire , nnd acknowledge the contribution wo have received from the sturdy men of other lands to our population nnd to every clement of our greatness. "But Other nations , too , nro great ; they nro prosperous und rich , nnd in u measure they m-o free. 'States * may mean nny organ ized government tyrannical , monarchial or free. It is , therefore , most Important that wo do not miss the reflection that 'the United States' nlono stands for ono government always free , nnd founded upon human rights nnd equality before the law. Our nation.il llfo Is Inseparable from this union of states. Thus it was launched upon its career among the nations of the earth.
