They wtre one here last night, but missed connections tnd laid over twelve houn at Cincinn it. Ilandreda of McDonald's friends have cilled tpon him at Lis rooms, at the Arlington, to-day and to night. They were most cordially received, and without any formalities wnatever. Colonel Itichard J. Bright has been with hin constantly, and presented the callers as they appeared. Near noon, accompanied by Voorhees, Bright, Stockslager, and those who came with him this morning, McDonald called npon the President and remained some time. After they left Cleveland expressed himself as being even better pleased with tne noble and brainy Hoarier statesman than before he saw him. The evening newspapers speak at length and In the most complimentary terms of McDonald and his visit here. The Critic touches the popular tencr by saying: 'Around tbe city to-day there were all sorts of reports concerning tho object of ex Senator McDonald's visit here at this time. Many said he was going on a mi 83! on abroad, others that he came toaettle the question of the control of the of 'lets in his State, still others that there was to be a place mado lor him in the Cabinet before long, and that the President had requested him to come here that a talk might tc had about it. The Sjqator'a beat friends say he came merely to pay his respects to the Chief Magistrate, and that he neither expects nor desires political honors, or interference in raatttrs in his State, as he is to come to the Ssnate two years henco, if the Legislature is then Democratic, and he wishes to remain out of politics until th-jn. This la the most likely theory of it it teems." NATIONAL 31 ATTERS. aller at the White House Conrt Martial of General If ann Oilier Onicial Newa and Go?lp. "Washington, March 10. Among fie President's callers to day were Kev. Henry Ward P.techer, Vice President Hendricks, Secretary Bayard, Senator Voorhees and ex Sanaator McDonald.

General Sheridan received a telegram fnm GeLerat Hatch this roornintr, stating that upon tbe receipt of the President's procl.im&tion concerning the Oklahoma Jaods, most of tbostf preparing to invade tüe Indian Territory decided to return lorae. It is authoritatively learned that then ino truth in the report cabled from a Pari newspaper tint the Chine Government b;i a-ked the mediation of the United Statej wit France. It is anders too J that General Foster will be retained as Minister to Spain forth4 present, with a view to conducting negotiations for a more favorable treaty, an I that he will probebly return to Madrid in ths cource of a fortnight. A dozen o more officials at the Naval Odsjrvatery fquinted at tbe sun to day ttmuch rough smoked lass and Hcnall a'zed instrument, "Ain't she a daisy V" observed a classical looking individual, wearing a dressinggown and red skull cap He ceased siuiutirs and handed bus glass to a compioion. "Ste's hit him," cirue from a small wooden building, out of which the telescope pro trnied, where an observer was intently watching for the contact of moon and sun. There was a hurried rush to a similar buihl ic come fifty feet away, a slamming of doors and closing of red and yellow wiodows, and the scientist began taking photographs of tbe eclipse of the sua a; the rate of three a minute. Heavy clouds obscured tne sun the greater part of the afternoon, so but four observations could b3 taken. A fraction more than one half was covered at one time as observed at this point, and this was the greatest portion concealed during the afternoon; while prevented from tafcing as many observations and photographs as desired, the officers at the observatory express themselves as well pleased with those obtained. Th Secretary of th? Treasury has directed the Collector of Customs at New York to make immediate investigation of the management of the large, oilice Lt New York, with a view of ascertaining whether the complaints growing out of the treatment of ps ssengers and their basrgae is well founded. A delegation of about 200 Christian workers, mostly ladies, compcsad mainly of tte Woman's Temperance Union and Temperance Alliance of the District, called at the White Houss to-dav. Mi33 Cleveland received them in the Bine Parlor. The call not for the purpose of making any requests regarding temperance mitters, but MiwLaFetra, who addreseed Miss Cleveland in behalf of the visitors, stated they simply desired to pay their respects, and t3 express their confidence in her Christian character, and that as xnUlress of the While House

shcnld perform her duty. A small plnjh album was presented to Miss Cleveland, In which the sentiments of tne visitors were inscribed. Miss Cleveland, in reply, expressed her appreciation of the delicate manner in which the visit was made and her pleasure at meeting the visitors. The members of the delegation then passed into the Fast Koom, where they were introduced to the President. The Senate confirmed General Black as Commissioner of Pensions. Secretary Lamar haa addressed a letter of instructions to the Commissioner of the General Land Office concerning the disposition of the forfeited land rant of the Texas Pacific P.ailroad, directing that notica be given by publication foratlpast thirty davs in each of the several districts that the land? have been restored to the public damaii, and that the boots of the respective otlisera aie open for entry and legation of the sme at - ."0 per acre, as provided for under the homestead, pre eruption and other general laws cf tte United States relating to the di3pJal of unoccupied public land. . General Haea testified in hi? oth bshalf btfore the Court Mart'al to day. He a imittfd writing the artictes in controversy, but he said he intended no disrf ?pect or discourtesy to tbe Secretary of War. He give a3 his reason for making the statements tint ho hod been held to tb.9 most serioaä raeponsihility for not eiTtctively rescuing the te Greely parly; that it had b.-en published all C7er lie world that he was in fault, and that In his own defense he simply w.:stied to stata the fact that Greely could have been rescued, and that he (Hazen) did all in his power to have him reEcned. The Secretary of War, In nis annual report, has largely confirmed the opinion expressed in prpss that he (Uazen) was responsible for the dtathof thfv men. The report made him either wilfully culpable aud nTgiestful and ineilicient ?u his work. Neither wai tree. lie wrote H. letters simply to relieve himself of thi hle aish upon his record which the Secreta: , 's report had wrongfully placed there. In an ar ament upoa au objection Judge Maekty, counsel for General Hazea, said: "We know that the prosecution does not want to touch Cape Sabine. The accuser does not want to face the horrors. We propose to shpw the animu3 of the ac:usfr that ho was imbued with malice so deep and deadly against the Caief Signal OHloer of the army that he became blind upon any iuest;on touching arctic matters, suggesting his deep and tireless hate; that, indeed, his very body exhaled malice whenever the Chief Signal Oillcer was named." Judge Mackeyttcn called the attention of the witnets to the fat that' his letter to tue Secretary, dated February 7, last, was ecdcrjfd by the Secretary as having beeu received at the War Department February 2;, acd also the fact that a statement concerning the contents of this letter was published in the Chicago Tribune Febrnary '", and aktd where the letter was kept prior to February General Hazen replied it was kept in his des-k. Judge Mackey asked whether, within a recent period, ollicial letters have not been purloined from the desks in the Signal Oilice and taktn to the Secretary of War. The Jndge Advocate objected to thia. Jcdtre Jl&ckey said ths purpose of tb.3 defense Is to regativo the pre3Utnptirtn that the accused cir ulated the contents of this letter. He said he proposed to show that leiten had been purloined from dc3ks in the Signal Oilice and taken to the Secretary of War by the person purloining th3 letters. Ho said they wanted to show the gensral cour3o of

the administration with referencs to the Chief Signal OÜicr that nothing was sa'e or sacred in theolHceof the Chief Signal Ouicer from the hand of the Secretary of War by day or night. The Jude Advrcate sc.: J ho did not feel called upon to reply to ths insinuations of course! with res;ect to tha Secretary of War. That clScJal, he s&td, needed no defease at his J aiid?, and the attacks upon him wore in veTv bad taste, to say the lost. Witibout concluding the examination of Getitrai Hczeu the court adjourned. The Senate in e secative seosion to day had UDlfr consideration the State of ailalrs in Central America, and a short message from tbe Secretary of State in aisfrer to tbe ornate resolution of last week was rsad, giving a history of Barircs' project f ir the uuion of all the Central American States, together with the tteps taken by Mexico in view of tbe threatened complications. All the points in the narrations have already been publiitcd. '. Some discussion took placs regarding the propriety of declaring it to ba the sense o' the Senate that step3 should be taken to pro tect the rights of this country in Nicaraga nulcr the pending cr.Lml treaty. The pixui was made that the Senate laid no knoledjs of the p&ndeccy of tli3 caual treaty sine tbe withdrawal of that sent In lait sesron. Adjourned without action.

Farther Explanation of the Agreement, or Arrangement, Itetween England and Kusia. London, March 1'!. Gladstone explained that England and Russia bad agreed, as he stated Friday, that no further advances should be made in Afghanistan. The statement cf this agreement was based on au interchange of communications carried on through the British Ambassador at St. Petersburg. The latest communication on tbe Afghan dispute received from the Ambassador wes that of March 5, but to obviate any prssible misunderstanding Granville, the British Foreign Minister, on Saturday last wired his (Gladstone's) ex act words ta Thornton, asking him to ascertain whether the Russian Prime Ministsr indorsed as correct the statement made by Gladstone of the agreement reached with Russia As yet no reply has been received. Gladstone eaid there had been no time to obtain the assent of the. Ameer of Afghanistan to the ttrms of the arrangement made wrth Hcssia. "fhe expression 'agreement,1 " said Gladstone, "conveys somewhat falaclou3 ideas of what has been obtained. I Drefer the word 'arrangement.' " Tne tslegram eent by Granville on Saturday, to Thornton, wa3 merely Intended to ascertain whether our understanding of the details of this agreement or arrangement was correct. There is no question a9 to the substinoe of it. Loid Hartington explained the Russians occupy Kaau and Akrabat, and that the Afghans still occupy Penydeh. He refused, on the ground of public policy, to make any further disclosures. The alleged occupation cf Kaiatea, one of the Society (South Pacific) Islands by the French, is denied. In the French tlag was hoi'ted" at Ra'atea. As oon 03 England heard of it she protested. France at once disavowed the ac tion, and ssid the tlag had been raisod by a naval ollicer without warrant. France, however, requested tbe flag should ha allowed to remain nntil England and France 6hould arrange the dispute about their se parate rights on tha island. The controversy is still in amicable progress. UENEKAL FOKEKJN SEWS. A Colonial Fleet Lai tjoutraband of War --Negotiations tar the Settlement of All DUpntes Itvtweeu Eng-i-S land nt prrae?ji. .

Tbe object of this visit is to consult among themselves, and then to have a conference wilh Vice Presidents Hays and Uoril. of the Missouri Pacific Railway, in rfgard to some grievances which the engineers claim to have against the cemjany. Wfcat these grievances are the committee decline to tay, but it is known that the discharge of four engineers at Kansas City for refusing to move freight trains when asked not to do so by the strikers, and the question 01 pay for loss 0! time occasioned by the strike will be the subjects for discussion. In general terms, tbe committee sav tbe agreement between the tngipeers and the company, made two years ago, and atont which there was trouble some few months ago, have not been strictly carried out, and they are talking the matter over with tne managers of the road. Kansas City, Mo., March 1G. The strikers here received orders lats this afternoon from Secalra to raite the freight blockade, and traicawere started out to-night. The propesed terms have been accepted by the Conference Committee of strikers and will be ratified b a meeting at Redalia to night.

INTERNAL REVENUE COMMISSIONER What YVattersuu Saj Abaat the Appointment of Miller mid the System of Kev curie la General, Lci'isvilie, Ky., March 10. Of the defeat tf Phil Thompson and the appointment of Miller for Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Mr. Watferson will say in to-morrow morning's Courier-Journal. We are not prepared to accept the defeat of Phil Thompson as a declaration of war by the President upon the friends of revenue reform, nor the appointment of Miller, of West Virginia, as evidence that it is the purpose of the administration to set itself against the internal revenue taxes, which pay more than one-third of the expense of the Government, and without which there could be no adequate reduction of Custom house duties. Personally and locally, we very much regret the decision, but we trust that the apprehension of those who have a right to a lair interpretation and execution of the Internal revenue laws, and have regarded the West Virginian as hostile to theru aud their interests, will be disappointed. Tne question is economic, not moral, and we tßail tj slow to believe that it will be treated by tte President and his ad via 37s in a narrow spirit. It will be given out. of course, that this is a triumph 01 Mr. Randall over Mr. Carlisle. That, however, will deted altogether upon future developments. If tbe President allies himself to Mr. Randall be will do it openly and not clandestinely. If he does it will involve a hopeless split of the party and a new array of political forces. We want no such conflict, and s-hall do all in our power to avoid it. But if, 8gainst the protest of an overwhelming niBjority of Democrats, it should come to pais that the advocates of a .oue! and honest revenue system will not be found unequal to it. In ailairs of this sort it is best to have no concealments". Dange s are ofttimes" avoided by going out to meet them. The President might have evaded an issue by the familiar expedient of appointing a third party, neutral, or be mav consider, and he maybe right in consider'np, that there Is no issue at ail. To our mind aud Imperfect knowledge we are inclined to think that there is, aad that it is not. encouraging to the friends of real revenue reform, but we shall wait with equanimity the courte cf results."
