March 11?There won another rush df t-all tb at the uptown departments to? day, and the Secretaries did not have as much time as they desired for the consideration of of? ficial business. As usual, the State Department came In for the greatest rhare of attention from visitors, officials and others. It being "diplomatic day," members of th.? foreign legation? having business with the Government had the right of way to the Secretary's presence. Such callers were received In the diplomatic room, and thcrt were so many of them that the Secretary was ccmpelled to spend the great part of the forenoon In that apartment. In this class of (allers were Ambassador Pava, of Italy; Dr. RcdrUucz, of the Greater Republic of Central America; Minis? ter Hatch, of Hawaii; Se?or Carbo. of Ecuador; M. Andrsde, of Venezuela, and Minister Kotse? bue. of Russia. None of tbern were with the Sec? retary long, and It Is understood that m ne of the visits had any special significane??. Between times Secretary Sherman received other callers. Including the Interstate Commerce Com? missioners, Senatori Wolcott. Frye, Davis, Car? ter. Mantle. Wood, of Kentucky, and Spooner: ex-Senator Sawyer. Representative Hltt, Dr. Tai? mase and his daughter and General Hssen, ex AStlltsnt Postmaster-General. The last-named said he called to pay his respects and did not want an office. Secretary Sherman made one appointment to? day. The law allows him a confidential clerk, who may Lv? appointed without examination. To that oiflc ho has appointed William B, Qsltree, of Ohio, who wis executive clerk to President McKinley when he was Governor of Ohio. secretary Alger is displaying a wonderful ca? pacity for work. His personal mall has been large, and he was kept up late last night In dis? posing of a portion Of It. Notwithstanding his large list of callers to-day, he was abl?? per? sonally to attend to all the official mall, which In itself Is a good day's work. Among his visitors to-day vere Senators Stewart, Frye, Hale, El klns. Oalllnger, Foraker, Scwell, Carter and Warren; ex-Mayor Grace of New-York; General Longstreet, Representative Dalzell, Senator Chandler, Major Putterworth, General Van Vleet and the Interstate Commerce Commis? sioners. To Senator Stewart he said he was go? ing to begin the work of conversion, and the sll v?-r Senator replied: "When you convert me you may feel that the millennium has conn?." Secretary Long had another busy day, but this did not seem to worry him. During the transac? tion of routine business he found time to receive I large number of callers, among whom were Senators Elkins, Chandler, Galllnger, Haul y. Racun. Proctor and Hale, ex-Mayor Qroce, Mr. Oracey, of Boston; Mr. Prothlngham, ?>f Massa? chusetts; Speaker Reed. Dr. and Miss Taliiiag.?. Civil Service Commissioner Procter, and th?? members of the Interstate Commerce Commis? sion. During the afternoon the Secretary of the Navy and Miss Long visited the Washington Navy Yard, and took luncheon on board the dispatch boat Dolphin, as the guests of Captain and Mr? Clove;?. Captain Clover is in command of the vessel. Two name*, have been mentioned among the candidates for the offlco of Assistant Secretary of th?; Navy. One is Henry C, Fisher, of the Marine Corps, who is said to lie indorsed by Vie??-Presi? dent Hobart. and the other is Cornelius Van Cott. of New-York. No conclusili:; has been reached with regard to this appointment, and it is not likely to be settled for some time to ???????. Among Postmaster-General Gary's callers was Senator Platt, of New-York, who simply called to pay his respects and took little time for the ceremony. Senator Wellington, who was too late yesterday to see the Postmaster-General, was more successful to-day. Senators Davis, of Min? nesota, and Wilson, of Washington, also called. Senator Cullom. Representative Cannon, Repre? sentative Perkins, of Iowa; Representative Brownlow, of Tennessee, and Major Carter, of Herford County. Md., were callers. Mr. Can? non's errand was to talk over with Mr. Gary his pet idea of moving the Postoffice Department Into the new city postoffice. There was an Item of .?K>.?xm> m the Sundry Civil bill to carry out this scheme, notwithstanding that Postmaster? General Wilson showed to the House Appropria? tions Committee that there was not enough room in the new postoffice; that the routine business ?if a great Department would be seriously Inter? rupted, and in a few years the Department would again hav? to be moved. With the failure of the Sundry Civil bill the plan of moving the Depart? ment is for a time in abeyance. Mr. Gary had no word to-day from Perry S. Heath, who Is exx>eeted to be his First Assistant. as to when it will be convenient for him to o,uall fy and enter on his new duties. Frank Jones, the present First Assistant, has placed his resigna? tion In the hands of Mr. Gary. As the Senate will be in session Monday, when the nominations ?if new officials are expected. It Is not likely that the new First Assistant will begin work until n?-xt week.

March H.-The State Department to-day received from the American Minister at Curacas a ropy of President Cr.-sp?>'s message scut lo tho Venezuelan Oongross on February 20.1n which he discusses the Venezuelan arbitration treaty if considerable length. Hi says In part: The Departmeni of Foreign Affairs has given during the list vear particular attention to the boundarv question of Briiish Guiana. ? Question of absorbing interest ever since His Excel ?MM V Mr Cleveland demonatrated to the world ina ???G?" which Ilio United States Intended to ex.ris' tho Intervention solicited by Venezuela. After this the disputo assumed S most favorable usp.-ct. He narrates In detail the course taken by the United states to establishing the Vsaeauelsn com? mission, and the voluminous proof which Venezuela submitted to that body In sup|>ort <?f Its rights to the disputed territory, and continues: While the Venesuelan Government, through the patriotic snd earnest efforts ?if its Foreign Office, whs presenting and urging Its rights before the Boundary Commission, the State Department at Washington with laudai.lo efforts was endeavoring to secure arbitration from the Hrltish Ministry In order to ?idjtist with gnat? r facility and success this unpleasant dispute of almost a century. The first official knowdodge the executive power had of the means employed to Induce our powerful tdver? tsry to accept arbitration unreservedly and uncon? ditionally, for which Von-zuola had always contend? ed, was derived from the publication of th.? corre? spondence between the Government* at Washing? toti and London from February to Ju-Je of tho last year, and which, being so favorable lo Ibis re? public, was sent here to So translated Into Spanisi-, and printed. Latterly this Government, through Its Legation In Washington, was consulted as to a point In relation to those negotiations for arbitra? tion The reply of the Venezuelan Minister of Foreign. Affairs, with an opinion contrary to that which Was seemingly suggested on this point, ar? rived In WashliiKton al the tlm.? when lb?? answers from ?ircat Britain were expected as t<> the de? terminate pointa of the arbitration. At this juncture of affairs the Government was informed that on th.? 12th of November there hid ????-,, signed in Washington bv His Excellency Mr. Olney, secretary of state of the I'nited Btstes, and Sir Julian Pauncefote, Ambassador of Her Bri? tannic Majesty in Washington, a protocol with the essen tisi nusis for a tr.aty between Venesuela and Oreal Britain, which, bv means or arbitration, would nut an end to the old dispute between the two nations. The bases wore then submitted bv the Washington Government for tho consideration of this Government by means of ? letter to me from ills Excellency Mr. Cleveland, in which he manifested th.? noble desire to s???? accepted a com? pact which, in his opinion, was just and advanta? geous, Th? recourse to arbitration Offered Itself, and al? though by no mentis in the manner wished for by Venezuela, was moro consonant than any other with th?- desires manifested. Th- Government deemed It proper to insert in the tresty a pro? vision thai Venesuela should have a volco in the naming of the Arbitral Tribunal. As soon at this change was proposed its acceptance was procured. The plan of settlement was presented fot the con? slderatlon of Venesuela, with no proposition for co? operative participation oontrary to th.? sovoroigntv and Independence of th?? republic; further, as th'.? 1'nlfod States had conducted th- negotiations ac? cording to their Judgment alone, th?? dedni:.? ac? ceptance of the bases will always involve for thorn a sort of friendly responsibility which will be in every caso ? guarani???? of futur.? harmony between tho tWO nations represented by th? Arbitral Tri? bunal. It is eminently iust to r.-.-ogniz?? :h? fOct that the greal Republic has strenuously endeav? ored to conduct thu mntter In the most favorable WOy, and the r? suit obtained represents an effort of Intelligence and goodwill worthy of praise and thanks from us who are so Intimately acquainted with the conditions of this most compii.-;.tod ques? tion. It Is your duty, according to the constitutional law of the republic, to examine the treaty which the Venezuelan Minister Plenipotentiary signed In accordance with the hoses referred to, ami the change proposed by the executive power in regard to the formation of the Arbitral Tribunal Ami as this is an affair of such importance. Involving St it ilo-s such sacred Interesta I beg you that from tie moment It Is presented for your consideration you will post none all other business until you shall dec Id.? Upon it. An unsigned copy of the Venezuelan boundary treaty WO! sent to Caracas for the Information of the Ministry a fortnight ago A Spanish transla? tion of the treaty, signed by Sir Julian PatmcefOtt and Sefior Andrade, was mailed on March 7, and will reach Caracas on Saturday of this week. It will be laid by President Crost>o before the Ven? ezuelan Benote on Monday. I'nd.-r the rules of the Venezuelan Congress, all bills and treaties are dis? cussed on alternat?? day? for a period of six days, In order that member??? who wer?? absent on the first ?lav msy have an opportunity of taking part In the 'debates, while th,? Sonato generally may have th.? additional tlm?? In which to consider and digest the matter under discussion. The treaty will thus reach a vote on Saturday. March 20. All th? advices from Caracas indicate Its ap? proval by the Senate by a practically unanimous vote. This result 1- foreshadowed by the press of the count!"* and by the utterances of public men. 'in.- presiding officer of the Benote, when Congress assembled a fortnight .igo, in his opining speech expressed his gratification at this peaceful solution of a serious international qui StlOTi ? solution which h?? regarded as a triumph of right over might.

There he negotiated for the twenty*alx-lncb equatorial telescope of the old Naval Observatory, supervised its construction and planned th.? tower and dome In which the then famous Instrument was mounted In 1<*70 he was sent to observe a total eclipse of the sun. visible on the Mediterranean, and established a station at Gibraltar. Unfortunately, the usual obeervsttona were prevented by clouds, bat the opportunity was utilized In extending certain original studies con cernlsg ? be minor motions of the moon. Lunar tables showing the recognized motions of the moon were already in existence, notably those con? structed by Hansen and published by the ttrltleh Government In 1157; but even before USD it was found that the observed positions of th?? earth's satellite did not corn-spend with the computed positions, as shown by error in the calculation of the eclipses and In other ways; yet the problem le? nd the combined skill of the t iath<matlcUns and astronomers of the world.

Processor MoWCOmb had already set himself to the resolution of the problem, and while abroad he visit, d tho various observatories of Kurope, and consulted the earliest record? extant. The task was not aban? doned until the problem of the motion of the moon Was solved and until formulae wen? developed for constructing accurate lunar tables. This triumph gained fresh laureto for the young astronomer throughout the world, and brought him official recognition from different nations. Although the two tasks Just noted were every? where regarded by satronomer* as of unprecedented magnitude, they were In reality only steps toward the accomplishment of a much greater task Which ?eWCOmb hail already set for himself. This her? culean labor was the accurate determinai ion of the "elements of the aolsr system." including the measurement of the dimensions, weights and orbits ? if the principal planets, the larger asteroids and i the mer.?
