I old reliable Mr* Henry Be _ * SET**&£SS ** * dTeDt of “• ■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- Train Goes Through the Flaming Mali Fireman !• at Once Roasted to Death and the Engineer Expire* Afterward*—A 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 tion by a shun ling train and stalled on the down grade. The oil car dashed on uud collided with the engine of an in 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 :ku cub of tl*c engine und were envoi oped in flumes. They all three jumped and tried to smother the flumes in the grass. Dodge was literally roasted to death on the spot, while Curtis died shortly afterwards. Betifbu lost both eye*. He was other, wise badly burned. SET THEM FREE.
