■Mr*,
rp* o
eeper,
Washington, September 28,—Mr.
Harrison baa once more humbly bowed
down to the will o* a state boas, and
what made It all tho more humiliating
waa that he had virtually snubbod the
same boss in the early days of Ids ad
ministration, by Ignoring all of Ills sug
gestions In the making of Important ap
pointments, but that was before Mr.
Harrison was attacked with the second
term nightmare, which has made him
truckle to men, such as Senator Quay,
for whom he mint naturally feel the ut
most contempt.
The boss who has won the latest
victory ia Hr. M. H. DeYoung, of Cali
fornia, who demanded a place In the
cabinet for his friend, Mr. M. M. Estee,
aa the price of the California delegation
to the republican national convention
next year. Hie demand was granted
and Mr. Estee was promlsod a place in
the cabinet when the grand shake-up,
which is to put Secretary Proctor In the
senate and Attorney-General Hiller on
the bench, takes pltce. It is believed
that Ur. DeYoung also Insisted upon
naming the successor to the Ur. Swift,
who'was appointed minister to Japan
against the wishes of Mr. Estee aud of
boss DeYoung, but it is not certain that
he succeeded.
Ur. Wanamaker summoned the dis
trict superintendents of the railway
mall service to meot hero this week in
order that they might have a chance to
answer the numerous complaints which
have been made against the service, and
to devise some way of bettering the
same, and he will not forget to give
each of them confidential Instructions
before they leave for their stations con
cerning the part that the clerks In the
railway mall aervlce are expected to
take in electing or helping to elect
Harrlion delegatee to the nominating
convention.
The failure of the wealthy Republican
ex-representative, S. V, White, of New
York, better known aa “Deacon” White,
has been muoh talked of here where he
Is well known as a congressman and,
later, aa a lobbyist for Wall atreet inter
ne was at the head of the lobby
that defeated Ben Butterworth's bill
against dealing in options on agrlcul
tural products during the last days of
the last session, and aa bla failure was
brought about by attempting to corner
tho supply of September corn, It will be
seen that If the bill which be went to so
much trouble and spent so much money
to defeat had becomo a law, be would
■till be a millionaire. When be waa.ln
congress he put a “stock ticker" lo the
corridor of the House end of the capltol
building, and for a few days he actually
ran a branch of bis New York broker’s
office In the capltol building, bat as soon
ss Senator Carlisle, who wss then
speaker of the House, beard about It
be had the whole business cleaned out
In short order.
Senator Ransom, of North Carolina,
looking as handsome as evsr, dropped
Into Washington this week and ss he
was just from home be was eagerly
questioned about the reported rise of s
third party In his state. “There Is,"
the senator said, “and, In my judgment,
there will not be a third party In North
Carolina. Tho great body of the Farm
ers’ Alliance are true, consistent and pa
triotic Democrats who will faithfully
stand by their party. There are a few
demagogues in the Alliance who would
persuade the others to embrace a third
party, or falling In that, will try to get
control of the Democratic party for
their own purposes; but be this as It
may, tho Democratic party of North
Carolina la solid and will remain so.”
This does not tally with tho report of
the speeches mads by Col. Polk, of the
National Farmers’ Alliance, but that Is
so Much tho worse for Polk.
Secretary Foster Is preparing to go to
Ohio, where he proposes to take the
stump for the republican ticket and to
assist the political juggling with which
ho is so familiar, and by which he hopes
to pull McKinley and a republican legis
lature through In spite of the real senti
ments of a majority of the Ohio voters.
It Is only under civil service reform
administrations that members of the
cabinet are allowed to leave their dntlee
to go upon the stump In a state cam-

Brakeman Loses Bl* Eyes.
■The plums are dropping mighty slowly
from the white house tree, and the Im
patience among those ntandlng with up
lifted faces and open mouths is getting
worse and worse, and those of-them who
have no votes to offer In exchange are
beginning to see that they are not “in It”
The Blaine republicans are, many of
them, beginning to suspect that they are
being duped In the Interest of Hr. Har
rison, aud that then Is sobm truth In
tho rumor that as soon as Ur. Harrison
Is certain that he has seen red a sufficient
number of rotes to make th defeat by
any cne outaldo of Mr. Blal no I m possible,
Mr. Ill alno will make a formal Statement
prohibiting'tho uso'of his own name and
declaring In Mr. Harrison’s favor. If be
docs there will be a big row lo the party,
Far.no, N. D., Sept. 28.—An oil car
itai.«iu a . n a side track was set in mo

coming stock train with terrific force.
lu no instant the oil was all in
blase, aud the engine plowed through
the flaming mass. Engineer J.R. Curtis,
fireman uud Brnkeimm Benton were on

They all three jumped and tried to
