The London Times Again Hoaxed A Reporter's Evidence. London, March Parnell commission resumed its sitting today. An accountant testified that he had examined the "books of the Hibernian Bank, but was unable to trace the persons to whom the money on checks was paid whence the checks came.

Between November, 1879, and September, 18S2, the league received 261,269 and paid out 261,276. The bank refused to allow witness to examine its lodgment slips. The league paid to the Ladies'League and to the relief fund 2,025, and disbursed in the defense of prisoners. The witness further testified that he had examined the league's books. The total receipts in 1SS5 amounted to of which America sent and Australia and New Zealand .000.

In 18J4 the receipts were 11.580: in 1885. 18.000, and in 1SS6 17,165. The National League's total receipts amounted to 100,613. Sir Henry James, counsel for the Times, applied for an order for the examination of Mr. Parnell's private account with the National Bank.

Mr. Parnell gave his assent to such an examination. Mr. Coffee, a reporter from Cork, testified that he had made a statement to a policeman, who promised him that he should be paid beyond his greatest expectations. Witness declared that that statement was absolutely false.

This evidence created a sensation in the courtroom. Coffee further testified that he purposely made the statement which he gave to the policeman sensational, because he knew it would take. He received 115 from the Times. Presiding Justice Hanner repeatedly rebuked the witness sharply for contempt, and finally ordered that he be taken into custody. The commission then adjourned.

Attorney-General Webster said that owing to the illness of a witness he was unable to present necessary evidence with reference to the O'Kelly letters. He hoped that tomorrow he would be able to produce this witness and conclude the ease for the Times. Mr. Henry Campbell, M. the private secretary of Mr.

Parnell, has brought suit for libel against the London Times. The case has been set for a hearing, and the trial will probably take place in May. The suit is founded partly on the opening speech made by Attorney-General Webster in the case cf O'DonnWl vs. Walter, and partly on a leading editorial published by the Times on July 7 last. This suit is the first of a series of suits to be brought aarainst the Times.

Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Snn. Eastville, March 12. Eastville and the adjacent country was much excited and greatly shocked this morning when it became known that during last night Jefferson Adair, a resident of Onancock, had shot and instantly killed Peter B. Smith, a highly-respected and well-known farmer, residing just outside the limits of this town. The facts, as far as ascertained, are as follows: Some time during the night Adair and Smith went to a well-known place in Eastville and joined in a game of cards which was in progress.

Everything ran along smoothly until a late hour, when the effects of liquor were felt. Finally Adair picked up the cards and dealt the hands around. Smith received three "jacks" and Adair three "queens." Betting became lively and a "call" was made. The hands being shown. Smith pulled in the pile of money that was upon the table, remarking that Adair had cheated in the deal.

Smith was entirely deaf, but was made to understand by signs by Adair that he must give up the money. Smith refused, saying he would not be cheated by anybody out of his money. Then Adair jumped up, drew a pistol and fired, the ball entering just below Smith's right eye and entering the brain, causing instant death. Smith died as he sat in his chair. Adair was immediately placed under a strong guard, and afterwards lodged in jail.

The deceased was a son of the late Dr. W. G. Smith and served in the Confederate army, being at one time a member of Otey's Battery. He leaves a wife and six children, most of them grown.

He was well known throughout the eastern part of Virginia and Baltimore and Philadelphia, where he has many friends and acquaintances. A jury of inquest was held this afternoon. After the testimony in the case had been heard the jury rendered a verdict "that Peter B. Smith came to his death by a pistol bullet fired from a pistol in the hands of Jefferson Adair, and fired by said Adair without any provocation." After the rendering of the verdict Adair was brought into court for a preliminary hearing, but he waived an examination and was committed to jail for the action of the grand jury. The prisoner expressed great sorrow for his act and attributed it to the effect of liquor.

Jefferson Adair has been employed for the past year as clerk in Col. Ben, T. Parker's Grand Central Hotel, Onancock, and is the only surviving son of the late John W. Adair, of Accomac Court House, formerly one of the best known hotel proprietors on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Yesterday was the first day of the March term of the County Court.

On account of the illness of the Commonwealth attorney the cases of Samuel Roane and J. J. Bunting, under indictment for house-burning in January last, were continued until next Monday. A large meeting of the farmers of this county was held here yesterday, and resolutions adopted urging the authorities to establish a branch experimental farm station at some point on the Eastern Shore.

Th Supreme Court Decides Against Gen. Golfs Claims. TSpecial Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.1 Charleston, W. Va March 12. The Supreme Court met this morning and handed down its decision in the Goff-Wilson gubernatorial muddle.

The syllabus is: "When neither the Speaker of the House of Delegates nor the joint assembly of both houses of the Legislature, convened under section 3 of article 7 of constitution of this State for the purpose of opening and publishing the returns of the election for the office of Governor, does in fact open and publish the returns in respect to said office, or declare any person elected to that office, this court cannot by mandamus adjudge the person who appears from the returns certified to the Speaker of the House to have received the highest number for that offices, to be Governor and compel the person who was Governor during the preceding term to deliver the office and its insignia to him." Judge Snyder, with unusual clearness, delivered the opinion of the court. He clearly showed that every point made by General Goff, the petitioner, would, under the authorities, foe decided against him; that even if the court had jurisdiction of the subject, decision would be adverse to the petitioner. He quoted the resolutions passed by the Legislature, to the effect that as the contest for the office of Governor was pending, the result of the election for Governor should not be declared until the contest was decided; that in all the counties wherein notices of contest was given a certificate was attached, on the ground that it was false, because in it were included illegal votes. Such certificate, without being read, should be referred to the joint committee to be appointed to report on th contest as provided by law. That it could not be said the Legislature had acted beyond the scope of its authority, because as to opening and publishing the vote and declaring the result the Legislature was clothed with discretionary power; that it acted judicially as well as ministerially; that as to the vote for attorney-general and auditor, the record showed it had in fact so acted, because the certificate from Webster county did not give vote for attorney-general nor the certificate from Wood county that for auditor, and had it taken the votes as certified the true result would have been changed.

The Lesrislature acted wisely in appointing a committee to ascertain the votes for said two officers in the said counties, and acted on the report of the committee and ju dicially determined and declared who-were elected to these two offices. The certificate for Governor trom JK.anawna county was discredited, because the ascertainment of the said vote by the commssioners of county court, naa oeeii superseueu vy a cci ttuiaj by a court of competent jurisdiction. If the Legislature had chosen to declare the result of the vote for Governor. with the certificate of Kanawha county omitted, they would have declared Fleminer elected Governor. They were cer tainly clothed with power to decide what were true certificates of the votes from the several counties.

Being thus clothed with discretion in the matter, mandamus will not lie to correct their rulings. But this court is wholly without jurisdiction of the subject. The constitution divides the powers of the State government into tnree general and distinct departments legislative. executive and judicial and has provided that neither should exercise duties required of the other. It has, therefore, conferred upon the legislative department exclusive power to decide and declare who is elected Governor.

It has been provided by the constitution that the decision of the question of who has been elected Governor shall be made before the 4th ot March, the da on which he is to be seated. Because the Legislature has not provided by statute a prompt moae oi ueiernuuiug lui qut-buuii in a ease of contest it does not take away the intent of the people in adopting their constitution. It has made a declaration ot the result of the election for Governor absolutely necessary to give him title to that Office. It never was contemplated by our scheme of government that the chief executive of State should take his seat on a doubtful title and thereafter be ousted. The Legislature has refused to declare General Goff elected Governor of the State, and as he has no title to office without that declaration.

which declaration the Legislature has the exclusive right to make or withhold, the per emptory mandamus prayea iorj was aeniea and the petition dismissed. The court room was crowded and the opinion listened to with marked attention. This afternoon R. S. Carr, President of the Senate, filed his petition for a mandamus to compel Governor Wilson to turn over the office of Governor to him.

The case will be argued tomorrow. In this case the court will have jurisdiction not only to pass on Carr's right to office, but Wilson's also, and will settle the matter until the contest now uendinar in the Legislature is decided. Every thing is quiet, and the people will bow to the decision ot tne court. A Double Police Force. Indianapolis, March 12.

Indianapolis now has a double police force, two police headquarters, and nobody can tell how they will secure pay. The board organized under the bill passed by the Legislature met this morning and organized a police force. This force was selected last night, and included a number of the officers of the old force. A part of the men reported and were sworn in and assigned to duty. All the men sworn in are democrats, the republicans of the old force declining to accept appointments under the new board.

The patrolmen of the new beard were in structed to avoid a clash with the old force. The new board will file a complaint for pos session before a judge and the commissioners. The city will at once file an answer, alleging the bill is unconstitutional because the Legislature cannot fill offices by appointment, and because the bills have never been signed by the Speaker of the House and Lieutenant Governor after their passage as required by the constitution. Another View of the Parnell Case. Pittsburg.

March 12. In an interview with a Dispatch reporter tonight Hon. Albert H. Grey, heir apparent to the title and estates of the present Earl Grey, of England, and a liberal-unionist, said the torged Parnell letters were merely an incident in the great Times case, and did not by any means ind i cate the collapse of any party. The charges did not rest upon a single issue, and if that issue tans the charge remains.

The collapse would not result in any big political revolution, Under the stress of the present excitement there might be a change, disastrous to the tones, li it came to a popular vote just now, but when the judges bring in their finding there would be a revulsion of feeling. 'The judges." said he, "will una that the letters are merely a side issue. They will find that Parnell's sensationalism and known socialistic character far outweigh the collapse of a few letters that bear only upon one issue at stake." Mr. Grey is in this country on private was en route from New York to St. Paul.

Prohibition Defeated in New Hampshire. Boston. March 12. Only partial returns from the New Hampshire elections are received, but there seems little doubt that the constitutional prohibition amendment has been defeated by a decided majority. There is little doubt of the adoption of all other proposed amendments except the one which provides for the striking from the bill of rights of the word "Protestant," thereby making the constitution non-sectarian.

The fate of this amendment cannot yet be learned, as the returns are very meagre. Vicar-General of Chicago. Chicago. March 12. Archbishop Feehan today appointed Rev.

FRANK W.DAWSON KILLED DR.T. B. M'DOW SURRENDERS HIMSELF. The Editor of the News and Courier Found Dead in the Physician's Office with a Ballet in His Heart. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Charleston, S.

March 12. Capt. F. W. Dawson, editor of the Charleston News and Courier, was found dead with a bullet in his heart in the office of Dr.

T. B. McDow, a young physician, this evening, and the city, is greatly excited over the affair. Dr. McDow surrendered himself to the police.

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. It has been learned that Capt. Dawson recently became suspicious that a young girl employed by him as a nurse for his children was having improper relations with men. Last week he asked the chief of police to detail a detective to shadow the girl, stating that if she was honorably courted he would have nothing to say, but that he did not desire his children to be entrusted to a girl who was not strictly honest. On Monday morning the detective detailed on the case saw her get on a Rutledge avenue street car, where she was soon after joined by a man represented to be Dr.

McDow. The detective followed the pair for several hours, and submitted a report in writing to the chief of police, who communicated its details to Capt. Dawson. THE FATAL ENCOUNTER. Captain Dawson left his oftice at 3.30 P.

M. today and was found dead about 6.30 P. M. in the office of Dr. McDow, not one hundred yards from his own residence.

His face was badly beaten, and a pistol bullet was found lodged in his heart. It is supposed that he went to Dr. McDow's office to remonstrate with; him, and that Dr. McDow shot him after the two had been engaged in a quarrel. Dr.

McDow disappeared until about 6.30 P. when he appeared at the police station and surrendered himself. Captain Dawson was shot while sitting down. It is said Dr. McDow locked his office and went to a grocery, and also that he tried to bury the corpse, but abandoned that course owing to suspicions having been aroused.

INTENSE EXCITEMENT. The city is wrapped in mourning tonight, and the tragedy is the subject of discussion in every quarter. The body of Capt. Dawson has been taken to his residence, and the coroner, after em pan el ling a jury, has adjourned the inquest until tomorrow. Dr.

McDow was hurried to the jail as soon as he had surrendered himself, and for the present is safe from lynching, as the jail is well nigh impregnable. The city council had just met tonight when the news ot the murder was telephoned, upon which the council at once adjourned. SKETCH OF DR. M'DOW. Dr.

McDow is said not to be a member of the State Medical Society. He married some years ago the daughter of C. D. Ahrens, a wealthy retired grocer. Dr.

and Mrs. McDow have several children. CAPTAIN DAWSON'S CAREER. Capt Frank W. Dawson was an Irishman, who, at the age of 17 years, ran away from the Dublin University to come to America and volunteer in the Confederate army.

Soon after entering the service in 18ti2 he received the commission of aide on the staff of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. He served with distinguished gallantry in the campaign of the Army of Northern Virginia, when he became marked on account of his dash and chivalry. After the surrender at Appomattox he became editor of the Charleston News and Courier, which was formed by the consolidation of two South Carolina ante-bellum organs, and the vigor, independence, courage and genius with which he conducted his paper placed him in the front rank of journalism in the South. He resisted and opposed the whole system and practice of the duello, and did more than any man in South Carolina to discourage it.

In acknowledgement of his great service to humanity in this controversy the Pope conferred upon him the honor of Knighthood and made him chevalier of a noble order of the Holy Roman Empire. His was the leading intellect in the discussion of great measures in his State in the last twenty years. His denunciation of the practice of carrying concealed weapons and of street fights won the respect of the lovers of South Carolina. He was the South Carolina member of the national democratic committee. The persistent efforts of Capt.

Dawson to join the Confederacy are thus related: "Early in the war Commodore Robert B. Pegram, of the Confederate navy, was in English waters in command of the Nashville. To him came an intelligent and well-mannered young Englishman with the request that he be given passage to the Southern States, as he wished to join the Confederate army. "Commodore Pegram refused, saying that he could not think of taking a minor among strangers to run the risks of war. He would not consent, even ir the boy obtained the consent of his guardian.

L. Yancey was then in London, and young Dawson for he was the youth who wanted to cast his fortunes with the Confederacy Bought him out, and so worked upon his feeling that he wrote an earnest request to the commodore to give tne Doy passage. Commodore stiu retusea. "About this time the Queen ordered the Nashville and Tuscarora to leave English waters. Commodore Pegram did not obey the order, but went to London to arrange for his stay, nue ne was away some hands were shipped on the Nashville, and among them the Commodore afterward found young Dawson.

"Later circumstances led him to appoint uawson as captain cierK, and this appointment was confirmed by the Confederate sec retary of the navy when the Nashville re ported on her return. "Soon after his return Pegram was placed In command of the James river squadron. and he took with him Dawson, to whom he had been greatly attached. "The James river fleet was for a long time inactive, to Dawson's regret, for he had come to fight. One night a splash was heard alongside his ship, and soon a man was seen swim-mine toward the federals.

There was a general discharge of guns at him, but it was not Known wnetner ne was nit. "At the roll-call in themorningyoungDaw son was missing. A few days afterward it-was learned that he had swam far enougn towards tne leaerais to es cape the commodore sentinels and had then reached Capt. Pegram's battery. This bat tery was in a few days the thickest of fight, and it is Capt.

Pegram's testimony that ne had never witnessea sucn cool bravery ra his life as displayed by young Dawson. He was wounded, and the Commodore had him taken to Richmond. "While he was there an order was issued for the examination of men for the-ordnance de partment. The Commodore furnished Dawson with books, and two or three times a week he went to Richmond and examined his young friend. He progressed rapidly and he stood first in the official examiuation.

Though not entirely recovered from his wound, he re ported at once tor duty, and Delore the war closed he had advanced to the first position in nis brancn oiitne service. Captain Dawson married a daughter of Judge Morgan, a distinguished Louisiana lawyer, and a sister ot the Hon. Philip Morgan, at one time minister to Mexico. Anorner protner ot jvirs. uawson was appointed consul to Melbourne, Australia, by i-resiaent uieveiana.

THE DECEASED IN RICHMOND. Richmond, March 12. Captain F. W. Dawson, who was killed at Charleston, S.

C. today, was well known in Richmond. He came here at the breaking out of the war to join the Southern army. He was made an officer in the Confederate navy, and shortly aiterwaras jomea tne cavalry. lie was placed on Gen.

Fitz. Lee's staff, and was considered one of the most dashing and gallant omeers in that arm or tne service, lien. Lee thought a great deal of him. When the demo cratic convention which nominated the Gov ernor assembled here Dawson came on, and when it was a nnounced that his old com mander had received the nomination he was enthusiastic in his demonstration. The deceased came here when Gov.

Lee was in augurated and took part in the ceremony. After the close of the war Captain Dawson commenced his journalistic career on James E. Pollard's Examiner here. He was a suc cessful newspaper man from the start. Mr.

Pollard soon appreciated his cleverness and piumuieu uiui in a lew nBChamierne entered the office. After leaving the Exami ner Dawson went on the Richmond Dis patch. From here he went to Charleston and with Mr. Riordan, who had been associated here with him on the Examiner, se cured tne uouner. REGRET AT WASHINGTON.

Washington, March 12. The news of the tragic death of Mr. Dawson, of the Charleston News and Courier, created both surprise and regret here. He was very well known in the political and social circles of Washington, and had many personal friends here. An ex-Confederate, he was one of the first to accept in good faith the rusults of the war, and for years he has labored personally and through the columns of his paper to pro mote good win between tne sections and build up all the material resources of the South.

He has been a delegate to several national democratic conventions, and almem- ber of the national democrati 3 committee for some years, and his voice was always on the side of conservatism and fraternity. The loss of such a man is a calamity for his section ana nis people. Rev. John B. Emig's Golden Jubilee.

Special Dipatch to the Baltimore Sun. Wheeling. W. March 12 The bodv of Thomas Lvnch, of Monroe county, was found last Sunday lying At the foot of a precipice near thexMorioin and western Railroad track, a few miles from Bramwell, Mercer county. He had either accidentally hwn killed by falling over the had been murdered and thrown over.

The matter is being investigated. MoG ruder was assaulted last Sat urday night on Tate creek, Braxton county, bv two men named Lvons nt rhanmiin. armed with clubs, and was terribly beaten and left for dead. He was found in an unconscious condition, several hours later, and will probably recover. ing to what extent; the President will of his own motive think of the people of the District and act towards them in the matter or selecting for office the men with whom they are to have the relations that are jealously guarded the States.

Independ ent of the judcres and the commissioners. there are but a few local offices in the aift of the President. An argument ad hominem might be forcibly addressed to him and those who are demanding to be foisted upon this helpless people. It is this: How would the New Yorkers or Indianians or Ohioans, or the people of any other State, receive, if their laws permitted the outrage, a sheriff, a re coraer oi deeds or register ot wills irom tne people of the District, one who is a stranger. a man having neither interests nor acquaint ance among the people? It is said that theory and example elimi nates the marshalship from the purely local offices, because it has social duties connecting the incumbent closely with the Executive.

This is not true. There is nothing. In the Revised Statutes to this effect, and the only ground for the statement is the hope of advancing some excuse to overslough the District. The marshal under the presidency ot lien, vv ill i tun uenry Harrison was auis-trict man Hunter, of Alexandria, who occupied the position under Jackson and Van Buren. Wallach under Gen.

Taylor, Hoover under Gen. Pierce, and Selden under Buchanan, all were District men. But when Mr. Lincoln, owing to the abnormal condition of affairs then existing, appointed Ward Lamon to the place he had no idea of establishing a precedent, which his successors iouowea, Mr. Hayes appointing Fred.

Douglass, whom Mr. Garfield very promptly transferred to another office in order to provide for Henry, of Ohio, whom McMichael succeeded under Arthur. On Mr. McMichael's retirement Mr. Cleveland returned to the old rule of the old Presidents and appointed a local man.

The people of the District are unanimous on this question, and all partisan feeling is swallowed up in the sense of a common right which in all other communities is either respected or eniorced. POLITICS IN THE TERRITORIES. Of the list of nominees today for territorial offices all are residents of the Territory in which appointed. Gov. Church, of Dakota, who has made very himself obnoxious to the republicans of that Territory, is among-those removed.

It is the impression that all the democratic federal officers in Dakota, Montana and Washington Territories will be superseded witn as little delay as possioie. The purpose of this, it is said, will be to have all the machinery of the process for converting these Territories into States under the control and supervision of republican officials, lt is rumored that several of the sharp republican manipulators of the East are anxious to have the opportunity of assisting in the ceremony of republican baptism of the infant Commonwealths, but probably the enterprising partisans of those distant regions need no lessons irom tneir brethren in this part of the country. JUSTICES AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Visit of the Supreme Court How the President Shakes Hands. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Washington, March 12.

When the jus tices of the Supreme Court made their first formal call upon Mr. Cleveland four years ago the interview was rather stiff because the President was not personally acquainted with any of the members. It was entirely dif ferent the other day when the first call was made upon the present Executive. During his service in the Senate Mr. Harrison made the personal acquaintance of all the members of the court, and he knew Chief Justice Fuller before the latter was called to the bench.

After shaking hands withthe justices the Presi dent inquired, after the health of Mr. Justice Matthews, and expressed his wish for his speedy return to health, He then, bowing to all of them. said pleasantly he hoped they would all live long and prosper, "for," said he, "I not want to be called upon to make any appoint ments on your bench during my term." "Well, you will not be troubled in that way if we can help it," said one of the justices, "Here is our boy member," said another, as he turned to Mr. Justice Bradley, who wears his seventy-six years with a sprightliness and an activity of mind and body which are remarkable. The.

President and the Judge smiled at each other, and there was a merry twinkle in the eye of the latter as he ac knowledged the compliment. HOW THE PRESIDENT SHAKES HANDS. The President remarked today that the muscles of his right hand did not show nearly so much fatigue as he had anticipated after undergoing the ordeal of so many thousand shakes. He said he found the best way to shake hands and avoid pain and fatigue in the process was to catch the first hold and not let the other fellow get the grip on you. He said the only conscious result he had noticed was that his penmanship was somewhat impaired, and he was not very proud of the appearance of his autograph at the bottom of the commissions of his cabinet members.

MB. BLAKE LOST NO TIME. On the incoming of the new administration the majority of the diplomatic representa tives ot the United States cabled their resignations to the Department of State. Mr. A.

Boyd Winchester, of Kentucky, the representative to Switzerland, failed "to follow the example of his colleagues. In his case, therefore, the nomination of Mr. Washburne as his successor read "vice Winchester, recalled." In all the other diplomatic nominations it was "vice resigned." Mr. Perry Belmont was early with his resignation, and it seems he must have had a presentiment he would be the nrst to go. Mr.

Blaine and he have long been bitter enemies, and Mr. Blaine always hits the head of an enemy at the first chance. THE CRUISER CHARLESTON. It Would Take Some Time to Put Her in Fighting Trim. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Washington, March 12.

Secretary Tracy today sent a dispatch to the Union Iron Works at San Francisco, where the cruiser Charleston is being built, asking how soon she will be ready for her sea trial. This Jin- quiry was not made with a view to ascertain-ine how soon this vessel could be sent to Samoa, but for the purpose of getting definite information as to when the contractors. will be ready tor the trial. They at first ex pected to try the vessel in February, and, at their request, Secretary Whitney detailed a board ot othcers to conduct tne trial, ana an the conditions were prescribed. Then a private trial was made by the contractors, which revealed some minor defects in the machinery, which they are now engaged in remedying.

This is about done, and it is expected that the trial will take place some time in April. The Charleston in the mean time could be sent to sea in an emergency as soon as her supplies and guns could be shipped, but it would be some time before this could be done. She is to carry eight six-inch guns in her main battery. There are at present six of these guns at the Annapolis proving ground, and though four of them were intended for the Petrel they could all be sent to the Charleston in an emergency, but as the construction of the irun carriages has not kept pace with the manufacture of the guns, there are not carriages available for all of them at present. Even after these guns and their carriages are finally on the vessel much time will be required to place them in position; so that even if the Charleston had been tried and accepted, it would still be some months before she could, under the most favorable circumstances, be put in fighting trim and sent to Samoa or any other point.

AN INAUGURAL PARADE INCIDENT. A military court-martial- is likely to result from an occurrence during the inaugural parade. Captain George A. Armes. a retired officer of the army, who was not an aide on the staff of the marshal, joined the parade and rode near the President's carriage.

He rode up to Col. Gibson and gave him an order purporting to come from Gen. Beaver. Col. Gibson sent forward to ask Gen.

Beaver if Captain Armes was one of his aides, and the General sent Captain Bourke. of the third cavalry, to remove him from the procession, which Captain Bourke did. Captain Armes called at the ar Department yesterday and told General Drum that he intended to prefer- formal charges today against Col. Gibson and Captain Bourke lor removing him trom the procession. He did not file the charges, however, but Captain Bourke, on the other hand, filed written charges against Captain Armes for "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentle man' lt is said that Captain Armes was led to believe that he had been selected as a member of General Beaver's staff by seeing his name printed as such in a local paper.

On the other hand, he is said to have been informed before March 4 that the publication was an error. MORE APPOINTMENTS. Territorial Oflicers, Ministers to Italy and Denmark Assistant Secretary. Washington, March 12. The President sent the following nominations to the Senate today: Interior.

The delegation which called today represented the Irish-American Republican League of Maryland, and was composed of R. P. orman, S. H.

Brennan, L. O. Rorker and Robert McCann. Upon their arrival at the White House they were in formed that the President was engaged with his cabinet, consequently they would have to call some other day. It was said that they called in the interest of Patrick Egan for a oreign mission.

office-seekers have their innings. The office-seekers today renewed their attack upon President Harrison, and between the hours of 10 and 13 o'clock they were allowed to pass upstairs uninterruptedly and make known their wants to the Chief Execu tive in person. There were many familiar faces in the throng, some of which have been seen at the President's door every day since last Monday. Several thoughtful as well as enterprising fruit and pie venders today wheeled their business carts to the Executive Mansion, and did a thriving trade with the hungry army of applicants.

AT THE DEPARTMENTS. Tn 'the departments the members of the cabinet are getting more accustomed to their new duties, and they propose to taice steps to curtail the number of callers. The business of their respective departments must be transacted, and the sooner they become familiar with the routine work the better it will be for all concerned. No important department changes have been announced outside of the two Assistant Secretaries of Treasury. At the Navy Department today it was announced that Julius J.

Fuks, chief clerk of the bureau of steam engineering, who was appointed by ex-Secretary Whitney, had tendered his resignation. Down in the Postoflice Department the em ployes are very anzitus to learn who the new Assistant Postmaster-Generals are to be, and there is any quantity of speculation on the subiect. There is a general impression that Mr. James A. Vose is to be reinstated as chief of the division of clerical appointments.

He was promoted to that position: by Post-ma-ster-General Creswell fourteen years aa-o, and he remained in charge of that branch of the service until he was relieved by the late E. C. McLure, and transferred to another room.

TSpicial Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Washington, March 12. The territorial nominations sent to the Senate today by the President' were significant of his adherence to the party's platform indorsing the only wise and just principle In reference to unrepresented communities, that of local men for local places.

Other things being equal, what stronger assurance can a President have, if he sincerely desires to secure efficiency, than that an appointee has an acquaintance with a community, knows faces, names, moral, social and financial standings, and is in sympathy with the people as a whole? Every local appointee secures to the President the gratitude of the entire community, when that community either is in the inchoate condition of a Territory, with statehood in prospective, or. like the people of the Distinct of Columbia, with out hope of political individuality or equality. The prompt and positive recognition of this principle, which was recognized by all the Presidents up to the time when Mr. Lin coln felt compelled by the exigencies of civil war to make a departure, has encouraged the people of the District to hope that they will be dealt with justly. The President becomes a resident of the District for the period of four years.

Its people are his people and his neighbors. They are ready, irrespective of party, to become his faithful friends, and it is not only proper but politic. to secure the kindly feelings of a community that numbers over two hundred and fifty thousand souls. It is a great mistake to underrate the In fluence of the people of the District. They are brought in contact with all sorts and con ditions of men.and their influence is as strong i i as ia uuuciuuuuaue.

opinions aid very much in establishing the -rood, bad or indifferent name which public men finally receive at the hands of public opinion. As they are not represented in either branch of Congress, do not vote for President or Vice-President, the Chief Executive ia tna nni friend whom they can claim. If he ignores tueir wisura aim -uuis, men are a hopeless community.
