Appointment Seizure of Vessel for Illesal Keallne Xlie President Back at the White House The Dutiable Value of Sumatra Tobacco Harvey the Treasury JForser, Sentenced to Twelve Tears' Imprisonment Inter State Commerce Decision. I By Telegraph to the Horning Star.T Washington, July 20. The President and Mrs. Cleveland, Secretary und Mrs. Fairchild. and Col. Lamont arrived in Washington at 9:30 o'clock this morning. The President and Mrs. Cleveland pKK ceeded directly to the White House and other members of the party went to their respective homes. They are all in good health, and speak enthusiastically of their tour in New York. Though somewhat tired, the President went to work soon after reaching the Wbito House. Most of the day was devoted to considering the mail which accumulated during his ab sence. He was assisted in this duty oy Col. Lamont. Secretary Fairehild spent the day at the White House and will re sume his duties at the Treasury Depart ment to-morrow. Assistant Secretary Maynard to day gave a hearing to a representative of the im porters of Sumatra tobacco and of growers of domestic leaf tobaeco, in regard to the general question of the proper method of determining the dutiable value of Sumatra fcob&cco. ft Mr. Shroeder, of New York, represent ing importers, asked that the present regu lations of the department requiring a close inspection of all bales be assorted so that all packages which do not contain 85 per cent, of wrappers be admitted at the rate of 85 cents per pound. Mr. Lachenbach, of New York, repressnting the Leaf To bacco Board of Trade, urged that the de partment insist on its former ruling, that Sumatra tobacco wrappers, no matter how packed, shall be assarted and made to pay duty at the rate of 75 cents per pound. Mr. W. V. Hensel, of Lancaster, Pa., representing domestic growers, contended that Congress intended to impose a tax of 75 cents per pound on all Sumatra wrap pers, and that Sumatra tobacco is never imported for other use than wrappers ex cept to evade the law. Arguments were made by other repre sentatives of both interests. The importers asked that the department instruct ap praisers to make their appraisements in such manner that the package iustead of a leaf, shall practically be the unit of ap praisement; that if a package contains less than 85 per cent, of wrappers the whole bulk shall pay a lower rate of duty. The hearing lasted several hours. As sistant Secretary Mayaard took the question under advisement, and promised to give it careful and thorough consideration. James N. Lipscomb, of S.

Washington, July 20. Oscar J. Har ney, the Treasury Department forger, was arraigned in the District Criminal Court this afternoon and pleaded guilty to the charge set forth in the indictment. He was sentenced by Judge Montgomery to twelve years imprisonment at hard labor in the Albaay penitentiary, In passing sen tence Judge Montgomery said that while the situation of the prisoner's family ap pealed to him, the protection of society was to be considered and an example made. There was but one way to stop crime, and that was to punish it. The prisoner had robbed the government, not through a sudden impulse but through a scheme pursued for months. The reasons urged for lenient sentence were matters for consideration of the Executive. He, himself, could do no less than sentence the accused to twelve years imprisonment three years on each count of the indict ment. The prisoner received the ssntence with composure. Washington, D. C, July 20. Theln-r ter-state Commerce Commission to day reni dered a decision covering three cases of the Chicago and Alton R. R. against the Pennsylvania Co. and the Pennsylvania R. R. Co., two cases, and the Rock Island Road against the N. Y.

ISy Telegraph to the Morning Bt&r.i New York, July 20. By 6 o'clock this morning the great fire at the Standard Oil Works, at Constable Hook. N. J., which broke out at 12:30 was under control. Two large warehouses, three immense tanks, four big docks and over ten thousand bar rels of oil were destroyed. At one time it looked as if several warehouses, a dozen or more tanks in the neighborhood, a large brick storehouse, the docks along the river front and the manufactories of the Bay onne chemical works, the Oxford Copper and Sulpur Co., the Standard Match Co.. and the large lumber yard of A W. Booth & Bro., would be destroyed. The Standard people seeing their danger telegraphed to their works at Green point for assistance. Five powerful tugs were sent from that place, and they arrived at Constable Hook at half past one o'clock. Though the firemen keDt throwing power ful streams upon it, the tanks which were all that separated the large frame warehouse also used as a cooperage, from the flames, also caught fire and was blazing. For about half an hour the firemen kept the destroying element from crossing a dozen feet that still intervened, and they might have saved the threatened building had not the pipe at the base of the tank burst and hurled the burniug fluid upon the struct ures and fired it. As it was started with inflammable material it was soon licked up by the flames which then got beyond control and swept down toward the river. At the docks there had been a large number of vessels. These had, however, been towed out into the stream, but none too soon, a irsi one pier took fire, then another and another, until four large piers were also in names, casting a lurid glare ujpon the waters of New York bay. By this time the tugs' had arrived and they fought the fire from the water. Each of them threw several streams upon the burning piers and it was only the efforts of the men on the tugs that checked a spread of the flames and saved the factories and lumber yards along the water front On the land side the fire had also been got ten under control and office, storehouse and neighboring tanks were saved. The Stan dard people estimate their loss at about a million dollars. There was no insurance. New York, July, 20. Orlando B.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals say that they have evidence to show that the poison ing was intentional. The Standard Oil Co. state that the loss by fire at Constable Hook lsst night is not over $100,000; earlier statements being greatly exaggerated. The company have an insurance fund of their own.

A special from Wa bash, Ind., says a genuine hail cyclone passed through the northern part of the county zyestcrday, doing an immense amount of damage. The storm came f !om the west, through Miami county, and caossed the Lake Erie and Western Rail way at a point between Denver and Peru. Its path through this county was from two to three miles, and in that space no vege tation escaped. The hail was phenomenal every way . The stones were the size of hen s eggs, and could be gathered up by the bushel after the storm. A great number of fine forest trees were broken off and piled up in an interminable mass. Not a field ot gram escaped destruction in the pathway of the storm. Corn was rid dled and stripped of the ears and silk, Oats were threshed out and driven into the earth. Apples, meltons, grapes and all small fruits and vegetables were cut to pieces and nothing can be saved. JPENNS YL, VA NIA . Conflict Between miners and Strikers In the coke Regions Call for militia. By Telegraph to the Morning Star.l Pittsburg. July 20. A special to the unronicie leleQrapfi from Greensburg. Pa.. report a conflict between miners at work on the Mammoth coke works, and strikers. A party of forty strikers marched to the works this afternoon, and after driving off Sheriff Byers and six deputies, forced nineteen new men at work to quit. In the melee three of the non-union men were severely beaten. Sheriff Byers has called upon the Governor for militia to protect tne men, as he says his force is madeauato and destruction of property and perhaDS loss or lire may result. The strikers are ugly and the impression in West Moreland county is that the strike is very far from settlement, notwithstanding the action of yesterdays convention at Ever ton and Scottdale, where at both the Amalgamated Association and the Knights voted to re turn to work.

July 20.-The conferences between parties holding control of the Georgia Central K. R. continue, but none of tho3e present at the meetings will give any information as to their purport. It is stated, however, by brokers connected with the management that the only object of the meetings is to devise a way In which to market the stock. The syndicate which bought control ia said to have found their load too burdensome, and some of its members are thought to be contemplating some ECbeme by which me synaicaie uu be dissolved so as to enable them to realize on their stock. The whole trouble is said to come from the high price paid for Oeatra property. ' ,T , Washington. July 30. rnc new iom Times rail road news columns this morn ing contain the following on the foregoing subject: "Capitalists who bought con- trol of the Georgia uentrai k. n. vo. buui months ago, and whose movements have attracted a good deal of attention in Wall street, have been holding a conrerencc in this city for a day or two past. Two or three schemes or consequence are unuer advisement, but the men most interested exert themselves to wrap all their proceed ings in mystery. Those attending Jtne meetings are Gen. E. P. Alexander, of the Ga Central R R., President; Henry Blun and E. M Green, of Savannah; C. H. Phinizy, of Augusta, Pat Calhoun and John C. Calhoun; all interested Southern ers. Among the New Yorkers giving the conferences attention are .Lmanuel Lehman, Alfred Sully. A. L. Rice and H B. Houins. Boiled down, accoraing to the information of Wall street, the purpose ot the conferring capitalists is to arrauge some plan by which control of the eomnanv mav be put into more tangible share than the mere existence oi the original Durchasing syndicate would Drovide. "Pat" Calhoun and John C. Cal houn control the charter or tne corporation known as the Georgia Investment and Banking Co.. which they have been willing to turn over to the syndicate, contemplating an exchange of a controlling block of the railroad stock for trust bonds and stock of the new corporation. This would lie-up the control of the Georgia Central effec tivelv. and at the same time make way for cronis through the marketing ot new securities of the Investment and Banking Company. But for some reason it appears that the Messis. Calhoun have been unable to convince other members of the syndicate that the Investment and Banking Company was just what was needed. Another pro ject comes up and was considered yesterday providing for the use oi the charter i86ueu in North Carolina for what is known as the Georgia Company. It practically dupli cates the Investment and Banking Co., but has some provisions that are held to be more liberal. The issue of new Georgia Company securities for exchange with the syndicates majority of the Georgia Central Railroad slock is the chief principle in volved. The basis of exchange has not been determined. Indeed, further con ferences may result in an entire change of base, and even an abandonment of the whole underlying scheme of the new com pany. Southern men now here are all deeply interested, however, in accomplish log something definite without such delay BALTIMORE OHIO.

Editor of The Record, Philadel phia: Dear Sir In reply to your courte ous inquiry as to the real status of the ne gotiations called by the press "The Balti more & Ohio Deal, 1 beg to say that all such negotiations are terminated. The syn dicate which was to acquire a block of stock, of the Bait in; ore & Ohio Railroad Company in such a way as was belie veil would be beneficial to all parties and rail roads concerned, did not at the appointed time comply with their engagements, and all arrangements or negotiations with them are now absolutely at an end. I have not purchased the stock of Johns Hopkins Uni veraity, as stated in some of the newsnaDf rs I had an option on that stock and also upon that of several other holders, but I have not exercised theee options; nor do I now in tend to do so. The statement in some of the papers that 1 purchased large blocks of Baltimore & Ohio stock is a mistake. As I have ttated, I had options, but circum stances rendered it unnecessary to close them. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company, its properties, including its large telegraph system and ownership of Its stock, remain now as they were at the opening of negotiations. The widespread public interest which these negotiations have excited and the many false and, foolish rumors to which they have given rise, jus tify me in departing from my usual course and making this formal statement of their final termination. mi t . . m .1 1 luanamg you ior toe Kinaiv terms in which you have been pleased to refer to the Baltimore and Ohio Com Dan v and its future, and acknowledging tne correctness of your judgment and that or many other friends as to the propriety oi maKingpuDiic in is letter, l am as ever, yours, very truly.
