AFTER PARTY SERVICE?
DEPARTMENT OFFICES BESIEGED BY
ANXIOUS AUDITORS.

Important Places Bushels of Post
office Applications The New* of
a Political Nature.
Washington, March 11.-—There was Aery
little personal pressure for place at the
white house. A few stray delegations
called on the president, and senators and rep
resentatives were frequent visitors, but Mr.
Cleveland saw nothing like the throngs that
bore down on'the heads of departments. The
brunt of the battle was borne by Postmaster
General Vilas, whose office was in a state of
siege all day. A quorum of the senate could
have been found there at any time, and there
were enough representatives and ex-represen
tatives to make a full house. Col. Vilas ad
mitted visitors only by card, no exception
being made ©ven for senators. The object of
the visitors was chiefly to see about the small
pustoffices, although some of them spoke
their visit as just to pay respects. Personal
applications, like those received by mail,
were turned over to the prop l !' clerks for
filing. A huge pile of application*- came uv. r
to the department from the white house.
These, too, were tiled away. The other de
partments were not so much visited, although
all the secretaries had all they could do tc
keep up wit h callers.

dent laid before the senate a request from tht
secretary of war that the papers on file in the

be made for an additional United States
judge in that territory with additional com
peusation.
A resolution directing that the oath of
office be administered to Henry W. Blair,
United States senator from New Hampshire,
came up. A long debate followed in which
Hoar, Vest and Saulsbury were the princi

the power of the senate to decide the matter,
and Vest and Saulsbury holding it was nc
precedent for an appointment by the gov

tween them. Mr. Riggm was an old resident
of this place, aged about sixty-six years, and
respected. It is suppose! that a recent loss
by the failure of the Merchants’ and Far
mers' bank, of this place, was the cause of his
crime.

IN THE FIELD OF LABOR
RAMPANT RAILROADERS REFUSE THE
'RUNNING OF TRAINS.
Railroad Officials Refuse to Run Mat!
Cars Without Passenger Coaches.
Alarming Aspect Troops
Called Out—Labor Notes.
Atchison, Kas., March 11—Upon the ar
rival of the Missouri Pacific train from St.
Louis the striking shopmen boarded it and
detaching the coaches refused to let anything
but the mail car go through to Omaha. The
same thing was done upon the arrival of the
night train from Omaha and by daylight the
upper yards were full of coaches and Pull
man cars. This was continued all the fore
noon until the arrival of the regular train
from the south, when Supt. Fagan gave
orders to send no more mail out unless the
regular passenger trains went also.
The company took the stand that their
contract with the government is that mails
must be carriad on passengers trains and
that if the strikers prevent the departure of
passenger ears the company cannot fulfil
their contract. This declaration threw con
sternation into the ranks of the strikers and
when Major John M. Crowell, the pustoffioo
inspector, stepped in and laid the law down
to the men, they called a meetingXiL
committees and agreed to molest passenger
trains no more.
This was a square back down and is re
garded as a sign of weakening. It is antici
pated that the end is not far off. Supt. Fa
gan issued a circular Sunday, calling upon
the shopmen to return to their places or
present themselves for their pay and
consider themselves discharged. Thirty-two
men have, in obedience to this call, signified
a willingness to resume work if the rest of
the strikers will permit them. The shops will
be visited by the foremen of the several de
partmenfe and a peaceable effort made to re
sume work. Failing in this, the governor
will be called upon to summon the militja,
and this power failing President Cleveland
will be called upon to send troops from Fort
Leavenworth.
The situation, therefore, is becoming de
cidedly serious, and there will be a conflict
of forces unless either the strikers yield or
the company accedes. A delegation of
twenty-five strikers from Sedalia was in
the city to encourage the men here. They
proceeded to Omaha, and it is understood
that the Union Pacific shop hands there will
join in the movement. The Missouri Pacific
comyjany is keeping all the enginesand trains
possible out of Atchison. There are two
hundred car loads of freight side tracked be
tween Atchison and Hiawatha, five hundred
between Atchison and Kansas City, and a
great number on the central branch. This is
done bi keep the Atchison yards open and to
keep the engines out of the hands of the
strikers.
Militia Mustered.
St. Louis, Mu., March 11.—A telegram
from Jefferson City announces that the gov
ernor has ordered the state milita of this city
to Sedalia.
Militia Ku Route.
St. Louis, March 11.—The state militia
have left here for Sedalia to protect the rail
roads from the striking employes. Trouble
is feared.
Among the Weavers.
Philadelphia, March 11, -The history of
the carpet weavers’ strike in this city has
been greatly perverted by prejudiced reports
of both employers and employed. Among
these have been numerous statements eman
ating from the manufacturers, but some of
their assertions are pure fictions. There are
no mill ow ners in the country more grasping
than the carpet manufacturers of Philadel
phia. Their greed is without a parallel in
business. They are exempted from paying a
mercantile tax; they have the advantage of
improve*! machinery on which there is no
royalty, and the protective policy of the gov
ernment has benefited them to such an extent
that their business has assumed a gigantic
monopoly.
The operations of the tariff can be seen
when it is explained that “extra super,” or
two-ply ingrain, carpetings can lie bought in
England for forty cents per yard Against
the importation of these goods there is a spe
cific duty of eight cents per square yard and
an ad valorem duty of thirty per cent,, which
makes the grxxis cost sixty cente per yard to
land. Not content with this protection, the
manufacturers in this city expect, by grind
ing down the wages of the weavers to the
level of pauper labor, to be able U) sell their
goods at fifty five cents per yard. If this
course be pursued it will result in the wages
of the weavers being about the same as paid
In England, while the purchasing power of
the money in this country is considerably
less.
Dago* and Swedes Strike.
Pittsburg, March 11.—One hundred and
fifty Italians and Swedes employed by Booth
& Flinn in laying natural gas lines near
here, struck for an advance in wages from
tl.lo to $1.50 per day. Fears are enter
tained of an outbreak unless an early settle
ment of the trouble is had.
Avenging Ker Wrong*.
Decatuh, T«x. f b 11. —In Main street
Miss Mollie Hart, aged fourteen, awl respect
ably connected, shot at W. A. P<x>le. She
was but a few feet distant. The bullet grazed
his cheek. By-standers prevented her from
shooting again. She was arrest* ion a charge
of criminal assault. She stepped at Poole’s
house Sunday night, and claims that Poole
assaulted her during Mrs. Poole’s temporary
absence. Tho sheriff had to put a strong
guard about (he jail to keep indignant citi

Shooting F'raca*.
Chicago, March 11. —Officer J. J. Mahony
ordered a gang of roughs at the corner of
Archer and Stewart avenues, to move on.
They refused and when he a tempted to ar
rest one of them all attacked him. The offi
cer was knocked down and in that position
fired several shots into the crowd. William
Pitt, aged twenty-four, of McGlashen
street, received a bullet in the back and is
fatally wounded. A young man named
Rosenmau was also hit but his whereabouts
are unknown to the police.
Sensational Scenes.
Raleigh, N. C., March 11.—The house oi
commons was densely packed to hear the
committee report in the case of R. Y. McAden
for assaulting Richmond Pearson, a member
of the house. The committee found that the
assault was made not solely on account of
words spoken upon the floor of the house by
Parson, but upon the occasion of further
words uttered upon the street without the de
sire of any offense upon the part of Parson,
but so construed by McAden, and this, coup
led with the disclaimer of McAden of any in
tent to infringe upon the privilege of the
house, was not in the nature of contempt.
The report was adopted after a long and
heated discussion. It was the first affair ol
the kind which ever occurred in this state,
and the scene was sensational in the extramft

AN INTRIGUE EXPOSED BY THE
FRIENDS OF A CROWN HEAD.

case —The Mahdi in Dread.
Paris, March 11.—Prince Victor Napoleon
and his two companions, the Comte De La
valette and Comte Dumaiue, have just had a
Gil Blas-like adventure, which forms the
general topic <<f conversation. The prince
the other evening < al'ed upon a lady residing
at No. t> Avenue Des Chasseurs, to whom, for
I some time, his highness has been paying
| marked attenti n.
The lady in question’’was lately annoyed by
annonymous letters. In the hope of discover
ing the bearer of the letters, Comte De La
vftiette and Comte Dumaine (who act as
chatnlierlains to the prince) waited outside
under a lamp-post whith the prince was con
. versing within.
. Hoon a cab appeared, a man jumped out,
rang the bell of No. 6 and handed a letter to
the conciergen. He was about to step back
into the cab when the two zealous counts
dashed at him, seized him by the throat,
thrashed him with canes, pounded him with
j their fists and kicked and maltreated him to
l their hearts’ content.
Than they hustled him into the prince’s
1 brougham, drove to the police station and
gave him in charge as the bearer of anony
mous ami libellous letters. The victim, more
dead than alive, protested his innocence and
turned out to be the valet of a well known
Parisian doctor, one of whose fair patients
was suddenly taken sick, and who had sent a
note for his coll ague K who ha \ med to I*
visiting friends also residing at No. fi Avenue
de Chasseurs) to assist at the bedside.
The two counts, on discovering their mis
take, offered the victim 100 francs to let the

the distinguished audienre . pres? n i.; 4 in
uns.. The court refused to , rt. ,i 'he
petition of the Earl of Durham, and dis
missed the case with costs against his lord
ship. In rendering his decision Sir James
Banned said as far as he could learn from the
evidence which hud been laid before the court,
the respondent, Lady Durham, instead of
having been insane previous to her marriage,
had simply loved another.
His strictures on the conduct of several
members of Lady Durham’s family, the Mil
ners, were exceedingly harsh, and lie severely
censured the part which was performed in
arranging for the marriage with lx>rd Dur
ham when they must have known slie loved
somebody else. In concluding his remarks,
Sir James said the attempt to prove insanity
previous to marriage had completely fadeci.
Mahdi Feanu
Kortt, March 11.—Information from na
tive sources reached here to the effect that
the mahdi had started for Abbaha, which is
on the Nile, 130 miles south of Khartoum. It
is further said that the mahdi is in great
dread of assassination, owing to the wide
spread discontent which has taken possession
of many of his followers.

Washington Notes.
Washington, March IL— If some of tht
current gossip in reference to the reorgani

republican caucus committee have lieen hav,

contention is the finance committee. Thu
committee’s duties are the same us those ol

The first formal cabinet meeting of the ad
ministration has been held. All the member

RUSH ON THE RESERVATION.
Lively Times on the Winueb . .♦ ?n<i Sioux
Lands Oklahoma.
Dubuque, la., March 11. Deputy United
1 States Marshal Hopkins and his a istant
I have returned to this city from the Winne- I
bago and Sioux reservation hither they
went to look up claims and hut u criminals.
. They relate a remarkable ex]X‘ri. nce with the
; rush of people, who went then* by the hun-
I dreds to claim these lands as soon as Presi-
■ dent Arthur attached his signature to the
document which opened said lands for settle
ment. !
The reservation, he snvs comprises the best
lands in Dakota, having b 'en selected by the
Indian agents years ago. They are on the ,
east side of the Missouri river, and those por- <
tions opened for settlement are bounded on
the north by Pierre, and on the south by .
Chamberlain. The area of the district opened !
for settlement includes twenty-six townships,
I with thirty-six miles to each township, and
540 acres in a mile. According to the home
stead law, every head of a family, whether
an able-bodied man or a servant girl, and
and every male over twenty-six years of age,
has a right to pre-empt 100 acres of land.
Five minutes after the time on Friday af
ternoon, when President Arthur signed the
; executive order opening the lands to settle
ment, the fact was known in Chamberlain,
and as soon as one man crossed the reserva
tfon line with a load of lumber thousands of
other in waiting followed him. All the hired i
girls in the hotels w r ere in the fjpont ranks, i
Not a barber-shop was open. Nearly all the 1
• business men, except the hotel and saloon .
■ keepers, were in the anxious and excited
crowd. Teams and wagons were employed
to haul set tiers at $25 ]>er day in advance.
I Those who preferred town lots employed a
lawer, who laid out a town site opposite
| Cbamliei lin. During Friday night the erec
tion of 100 houses was commenced, and the
i town is being rapidly built. Many of the
! houses are already occupied by families.
The prosjiect is that much litigation and
bloodshed will be the result of the excite
ment. The agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul railroad filed warrants in thti
name of his company to a large porti<m of
the land contained in the reservations and
now settled upon. The Indians are unfriend)}"
to the settlors and are encouraged by the In
dian agents, who, in many instances, drive
settlers away. Until a registration office is
open on the reservation the settlers will not
leave their < lainis, fearing that they .would
lie jumjxed if they did so. The Indian agents
i refuse to register until they receive formal
notice frofli the government, that the laud
has been thrown open to settlement. In
many cases the settlers were unable to find
the corners of the sections, and when surveys
were made it was found, in many cases, that
cabins some distance apart were really on the
same section, Then the question arose who
settled here first, and the man who displayed
the most formidable Winchester rifle or navy
revolver generally induced the other fellow
to believe that he did.
The work of erecting shanties on the claims
progresses night and day. Several lawsuits
have been entered where more than one have
taken possession. People from abroad did
seem to anticipate the rush, fox those who ar
rived at Chamberlain Wednesday found that
every inch of the land had been pre-empted.
The trains going to Chamberlain consisted of
several sleepers and passenger coaches, jam
med full of poor fellows who labored under
the delusion that, they had only to visit the
reservation and stay on it over night to ac
quire possession of 160 acres of land. Agen
Gassman received orders from the interior
department not to allow the Indians to inter
fere with the settlers, but. their is b.ul blood
existing and trouble is feared at any time.
Oklaliuiua Troubles.
Wlchita, Kan,, March 11. —Being the day
set for the adjourned term of the United
States court at which the Oklahoma boomers
were to be tried, they were all on hand.
Captain Couch and secretary McCord came
up from Arkansas city. 'There was no court,
It was intended to continue the adjourned
term to the twenty-fourth inst.. in order to
summon the jm y to dispose of these cases, but
Judge Foster having been called Io Topeka
to hold court there found it would be impos
sible for him txi be here on the twenty fourth
inst. The court accordingly adjourned sine
die, which throws it over to the regular term
in September. Warrants were issued for
forty other boomers. The authorities will
continue to issue warrants as they get names.
Captain Couch said that he would start for
Arkansas city immediately, and the colony
would move in a day or two. General Hatch
will leave here on the same train with Couch,
and will join the troops there.
GRANT BETTER.
The Old Warrior Sleeps we 11— Consultation
of Physician*.
New York, March 11.—Dr. Douglas said:
“Gen. Grant did not sleep well last night.
During Monday he had several profound
Heeps. At noon he said he felt no pain
whatever at the throat and rejieated it this
evening. He complained of need of sleep.
An anodyne was given him, but it was not
effective. Later a stimulant was given in
stead. His pulse was normal and while I was
there the general took food and went to bed.
l ijere is no increase of the ulceration. His
family says the general sleeps more than he
thinks he does.”
There will be a consultation of physicians
on Sunday fxi devise morns of toning up Gen
eral Grace’s system. It will not interfere
with the work of Dr. Douglas, except as it
may be designed to aid him by strengthening
the patient’s general condition. Dr. Barker’s
mail contains daily many letters from all
sorts of persons, many of them country wo
men, rec-'/inmending herb and other cures for
General Grant’s malady. The doctor says
that the passage of the retirement bill, while
very gratifying to General Grant, had a bad
imme li t e effect on him, as he had aband
oned all idea of such a thing, and hr was not
in condition to enjoy a surprise. The
memoirs on which General Grant has been
at work for months, and about which he was
specially solicitous, are at last finished, much
to General Grant’s satisfaction. He now
spends some time each day in looking over
his proofs and in other revising Work, but
the burden of finishing the Look is off his
mi nd. H* • has received man congra tu latory
lettei's in regard to the retire aent bill.

General tlanagenumf of the Alin*houM
Condemned.
, Philadelphia. March 11.— Chainnar
Ridgeway of the city council prison com nit
tee submitted a report of the committee’s in
vestigation of the almhouse fire. They find
that the efficiency of the board is greatly, il
not totally impaired by constant bickering
and an utter want of united action in any
direction. Politics had more to do with ap
pointments than fitness for office. The char
actor and general fitness of the nurses is very
low as a rule.
Heads of departments were not vested with
proper authority. The report further stated
that at no time in the history of the alms
house had any effort been made to guard
against fire. President Lawrence of the com
mon council corrected this statement and
said that four years ago the almhouse w"ai
provided with u fire engine, and the inmates
w ere drilled to operate it. For some reason
or other this had been abandoned.
Insurance In North Carolina.
Raleigh, N. C., March 11. —One of the
most ably discussed questions before the leg
islature has been that of insurance. Thai
body has now passed a bill making great
changes in the old law. The new' law re
dhices the annual license tax on insurance
companies from $125 to SSO; repeals the law
requiring all insurance companies to make
SIO,OOO deposit before doing business in th(
state; [>ermits persons in the state to go out
of the state and insure in foreign comjianieSj
whether the companies have paid taxes iii
North Barolina or not, and rendering valid
all such contracts. It repeals the loss and
average clause, but does not touch the three
fourth value clause in policies.
Poison in a Dakota Family.
La moure, March 11. —A mysterious and
fatal ease of poisoning has occurred in the
family of Joseph Hall, six miles south ol
hero. Hall, his wife and three children re
tired at th a usual hour in go<xl health. Ht
had arranged with a neighbor to ride into
town with him. When the latter called at
Hall’s house he found all of the inmates nn
eonscious except a the woman. One of the
children, aged five, was dead. Mrs. Hall wat
barely able to speak and could give no ex
planation. Physicians can not tell w-hat
caus<‘d the trouble. Hall’s face is terribly
swollen and discolored. He may recover,
but the doctors think he w'ill die.
The Muscle Slmals Delayed.
Chattanooga, Tenn., March 11— Maj.
King, engineer in charge of the Muscle Shoalt
canal and Tennessee river improvement, says
that the failure of congress to pass the riVei
and ha rbor bill will delay the completion ol

Over S,<KK),OOO has been expended on the
work and but $300,000 is necessary to finish
it. This amount was embraced in the rivei
and harlxor bill, which failed. A force of
several hundred mon will be reduced to a
minimum in order to proceed on the uncom
pleted work until there is another appropria
tion.
New Code of Ifoapitality.
Philadelphia, March 11.—Judge Ashton,
in rendering a decision in the case of Daniel
O’Brien, deceased, on a claim put in against
his estat -by a brother-in-law of the decedent
for board while paying him a social visitj
said he would not allow it. To admit de
mands of this kind would be to render necee
sary a new code of hospitality. Before solic
iting a vi- : t from a brother or friend it would
be necessary for the host, in order to avert
suspicion from his motives, to pledge hixnsell
that no comj ’nsation would l>» exacted from
his guest.
