ILWpoiXKT. M.U 0 WASHINGTON. The Removal of Deputy Collector Harria and Superintendent Bradley Baaed Upon Charges of Gron Neglect of Duty. Southern Politicians Irritated at the Delay in Makla? Appointments. Searching Questions Fut by the President to Louisiana Eepublicans.

THE NEW REMOVALS. Ieputy Collector Uarrla and Superintendent Krailley lUnioveil for iro Neglect ol Duty. Washington. March 10. (Special.

I The telegram aent out last night by the Aiociated Frsa, announcing the removal of Collector Harris aud Superintendent Bradley, of the New OrleaDacuatom-houne. wus furnished by Aesistaut Secretary Thompaon, actic. seoietary of the treasury. Your correspondent called on Goyern-or 1 liompaou, vbu ataied that he had authorired the teleuraui in order to avoid misconception aa to the cause of the remoyals. He give the following details ot the reasons whioa led to tbo action of the aepartment: lu February Mr.

Powell, chief electrician, and Mr. Hill, assistant saperibteudeul of public buildings of the treasury department, who had been sent to inspect various puLilio buildings in the south, tha New Orleans custom-house among the number, returned to ash-inglou. They reported that the contractu in the New Orleans custom-house, especially for the electrio plant, and aoine of the paiuliug, brick aud other kinds of work, had been executed io such a defective mauunr as to result in the loss of a considerable ainounl of money to the roverninont. The responsibility waa Dlaced on Deputy Collector Harris ana Superintendent Kradiey. Governor Thompson concluded he would not act upon this report, which was made about tbe middle of February, but diapatched Mr.

1'owell and an assistant to New Orleans to take testimony. These officials returned auout March 1 with voluminous evidence, which supported the statement previously made, and in the opinion ot the assistant secretary indicated that tbore had been gross neglect of dutr ou the part of Mr. Harris and Mr. Bradley. Governor Thompaon does not say that the testimony showed that there had been any fraud or collusion, and he did not act upon suspicion that snuh had been the cas.

the testimony being exparte, but issued tie order for the removala upon the ground of grnas neg. leot of duty in failing to see that the coatracts were properly carried out. The letters of removal were mailed yesterday. Mr Bradley wasappoiuied to his position about and had excellent recommendations. TUE SOCTIiEKN l'ATKONAGE.

President Harrison's Delay In Making Appointment Kxcltlnc Irritation. Washington. March lo. ISDeeial.l The Washington Capital sums np the situation as to patronage as follows: The southern politicians who are here to receive the otllces in their respective states are not as oheerful aa they were when they first arrived. In the first place they have been told that there is nosoesial hurry.

Tbe president asks time to consider. He thinks that there are several things to dispute ol beside the otlices in the south. Who is to be collector of the port of New York seems to be a more important subject of discussion than who is to be United Statei marshal of South Carolina or Louisiana. Then it eeeuia to the urgent ones that there is revival of Havesism. They lind that tbe president is disposed to ask tne opinion of about Georgia appointments; to ask what the protectionists about Birmingham waut in Alabama; that Hendricks aud old Judge Willard may be talked to about South Carolina atiairs: that Chalmers has a special pull in Mississippi; that Pinch oacit and Kellogg have some queer questions asked theui as to Louisiana that the "Wheel" and Union Labor are counted in when Clayton asks for patronage.

Ana so it goes. Tne men who were turned out when Mr. Cleveland came in do not like tbe Mavor of all this. They are specially annoyed about the appearance of delay. THE COLOK LINE.

Where II Calais in the Charitable Institution of the District. Washington, March 10. The reply of tbe commissioners of the district of Columbia to Senator Edmunds' resolution of last mouth askiug them to furnish any information in their possession concerning the exolusion of persons from any of the charitable institutions in the district on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, has been received. Many, if not all, of these institutions received aid from congress, which was oue reason why tbe inquiry was made, in order to reach an intelligent understanding, the commissioners sent a circular to each ot the cbaritable institutions of the district containing a copy of the senate resolution and asking for the policy of tbe managers on tbe subject, and their answers accompany tbe commissioners' response. Tbe replies show in a great majority of cases that no discrimination is made, but several are either not so clear or ad -mit that the colored applicants are not admitted.

The secretary of tbe German Orphan iVjylum writes to the commisaiouers there la nothing in the constitution tuT regulations of the institution confirming exclusion on account of race, cjolur or previous condition of Suter Clara of St. Ilese's Industrial School say a they have never had a colored applicant. "Therefore, none have beeu refused. Bat should they apply ws would not leel bound lo receive them, not being a regolar public institution and not having the apartments to receive them. It woald not be supposed that we could mix them with oar yoang girla.

who are mostly orphans from good families." Mrs. J. Curtis Smith, secretary of the board of tbe Washington Hospital for Foundlings, in her letter says: "I have to say that this institution haa never refused the admission of any foundling on account of race or color.

whether white or black. We have to employ a number of wet nurses for the nursing children, and whilst we may regret the fact that any race prejudice should exist, yet we are compelled to reooguize it as a fact, and it is apparent that the necessary help coujd not be had if it ebould be attempted to keep white and colored children in th wards." Sister Mary Vincent, ef St. Vincent's Orphan An.vluui, writes, "Thi institution is for white children." "St. Ann's Infant Asylum," says Sister Agnes Kelihan, "receives infants and children from the public authorities without distinction, but to receive all who present themselves at our door, particularly colored, wonld be an utter lifl-poibility." The Sisters of the Good Shepherd write that "no one has ever been refused admittance into our institution. Colored children have not been received, though in some of oar larger bouses they have a bnildiug for them." This is sinned Sisters of the Holy Cross of St.

Joseph's Asylntu: "Our asylum is for male orphans. None are excluded from but colored. 1 lind from experience that wnite boys cannot be mixed with colored." TUE tV AT 1 1 It CHOP UULLETIN. Washington, March 10. The following is tbe weather crop bulletin issued by tho signal office TEMPERATURE, The week ending March 9 has been colder than usual through the southern states and tbe Ohio valley and warmer than usual in New Kngland, middle Atlantic states, the upper lake region and generally throughout the north west.

The average daily temperature ranged from i to degrees below the normal in the south Atlautic und gulf states, from 3 to 5 decrees above the average for the week in New Eugland and from (3 to 15 decrees above the 1 ho seaaoual temperature from Jan. 1 to March 9 has beeu from oue to two degree lower than usnitl in the southern stales. It has differed bntsligbtly from the normal in tbe wheat regiou of the central valleys and it has beeu slightly warmer than usual lu New England and tbe middle Atlantic states, while in the Missouri valley and geuerally throughout Minnesota. Dakota aud Montana the daily average temperature has been unusually hifeh. changing from three to bix degrees above the normal precipitation.

RAINFALL. During tbe week the precipitation has been less than usual except in the middle Atlantic states, northern New Knglaud aud on the South Carolina and Georgia coasts, where it has been about one inch excess of tbe usual amount. In tha central valley, extending from the gult states northward to the lakes and Minnesota, the rain tall for the week was inappreciable. The rainfall for the seaaou haa been greater thau nsnal generally throughout the states bordering on the Atlantio and t-'ulf coast, except in southern New England, where from 50 to 75 per ceut of the usual amount of rain is reported. Throughout Dakota and northern Minnesota tbe mow fall has been 50 per cent greater than usual, while in Texaa almost double the usnal amonnt of rain is reported.

There is a deiioienoy of moisture in the wheat regioa of the central valleys. This deficiency is very slight in Missouri and Kansas where the rainfall for the season generally exceeds per cent of the usual amouut, while in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, northern 'lennessee and southern Michigan, about (30 per cent of the nominal rainfall is reported. OK.NKKAL REMAKES. The weather conditions for the week and season have been favorable throughout the central valleys aud southern states. The season is well advanced and farm work is in procresa from Texas to Minnesota and Dakota.

Notwithstanding the deficiency of moisture in tbe winter wheat region tbe reports indicate that the weather in the section has affected this crop favorably. Ia the spring wheat section the ground is reported in line condition and sowing is in progress in Dakota and Nebraska, tteporls from Tennessee, Arkansas and tbe gulf state show that the the weather has been favorable for farm work, which is well ad vanced. and crops are in good condition. The season is a few days later than usual in tbe south Atianlio states, where the weather has been cool aud the ground moist. The ground is covered with snow over the greater portion, of New Knitlandand New York, while the crops have been exposed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but reports iudicate that wheat hi these states has not been materially injured.

Secretary Windom has begun the reorganization ot the treasury department by the selection of Mr. Geo. C. Tichenor of Illinois as assistant secretary in place of Judge Maynard, resigned. Mr.

Tichenor has been a speoial agent of the department for a number of years and has performed many important and delicate services in connection with tbe customs administration. He is particularly well known ia New York city, having assisted in nearly all the investigations of customs business of that port in recent years. He is regarded as an authority on tariff matters aud in bis new position will have direct supervision of tbe customs service. It is not definitely known who will succeed Assistant Secretary Thompson. Mr.

Ticnenor's nomination will probably be inolnded in the list to be aent to the senate to-morrow. This list is also expected to contain the name of Mr. Walker Blaine aa first assistant secretary of state. The Forelgu Missions. Washington, March 10.

There is bnt little gossip afloat concerning tha for-eicn missions except that in relation to applications for appointments. It is reported that Whitelaw Keid of the New York Tribune has been offered the English miss. on and Ex-Senator Palmer of Michizan thai 40 fevain. Tii Utter. however, says be will not go abroad, but returns to Michigan to ran for governor.

Ex-Governor Porter of Indiana will no to Home and it is expected that the Iloa. John C. New will go to Anstria. It seems to be taken for granted that be may go if be desires the post. Mr.

New's friends are authority for the statement that a perfectly satisfactory understanding exists between him and the president. Tha Delegate to the Samoan Conference. Washington, March 10. One of tbe first things the state department will dispose of is the appointment of delegates to tbe Samoan conference at Berlin. It is said to-night tbat Benj.

Indianapolis, March 10. With last night's adjournment the fifty-sixth session of the Indiana general assembly practically terminated. Tbe legislature will meet to-morrow and adjourn sine die, bnt no bills can be passed, a constitutional provision forbidding the sending of bills to the governor within three days of the close of tbe session. The session terminating to-morrow has been one of the most remarkable in the history of the state. The governor and all the state officers are Republicans, while the Democracy have a working majority in both houses of the legislature.

A large portion of the time of the assembly haa been devoted to tne consideration of measures which, in case they are sustained by tha courts, will work a revolution iu the government of soma of tbe cities of tbe state and in the manner of making appointments to office. The most important perhaps of these measure is one appointing five commissioners who are to act as assistants to the jndgea of the supreme court. That eoart, as a result of the November election, now oonsists ot four Republicans and one Democrat. The bill passed by the legislature, which waa vetoed by the governor and promptly passed over the veto, provides for five commissioners, aud the legislature choee five Democrats to fill these places. The constitution provides that all commissions must be signed by the governor and sealed with tbe great seal of the state.

The majority of the legislature foreseeing that the governor might refuse to issue these commissions, inserted, in the law creating the commission a olaiuse providing that in the absence of commissions a certificate signed by the speaker of the honse and secretary of tbe senate ehonld be sufficient authority for tha bearers to act as commissioners. Tbe governor refused to issue tbe commissions, whereupon the commissioners took out tha certificates provided by the act and reported to the chief justice of the supreme coart for daty. Tne chief justice deelined to accept tbe certificates as evidence that the commissioners were duly authorized to act, and Governor Hovey at once procured an injunction restraining the clerk of the supreme eoart from issuing, and the commissioners from receiving the booas, papers, etc, necessary to the prosecution of the work. The point on which the commissioners rely strongly is a provision of the act which dehues their duties as being ministerial; they are simply to prepare opinions on cases submitted to them, but will have no voice in deciding whHthtr oniuions so prepared shall be promulgated as the decisions of the supreme court. This power is left in tne nanda of the judges selected by popular vote.

This case ia now pending before the supremo court, and much importance is attached to the final result for the reason tbat it will have a bearing on aa much of tbo other legislation of the session. Among the other measures is one placing the affaire of the city of ludiau-a polls under, control of a board of publio works and affairs, depriving tbe council and board of aldermen of all ooutrol of streets, lighting and water supply. Another provides hoards of police and tiie commissioners for Indianapolis aud Evans vilie. all of which places are to be tilled by selections made by the general assembly. Other bills take from the governor the appointing of the state health board, state geologist, coal mine inspector, oil The trustees of benevolent and penal institutions have for many years been selected by the legislative branch of the government, but Governor Hovey claims these appointments belong to the executive, and a legal contest on this point will also follow.

All these measures were vetoed by the governor, and the vetoes were promptly over-ridden by the legislature. The mayor and oity authorities of Indianapolis will make a legal tight in the courts over the bill aepnving the council and aldermen of oontrol of city The courts will also be called in to determine the constitutionality of all the laws mentioned in tbe forveoing. ana the outlook now ia that there will plenty of business for Indiana conrta and judiiea lor wo8 5iaie to come. Among the notable laws enacted by the aeaemblv and approved by the governor was an election law embodying to features ol the Australian system aud measure providing for the purchase of eohool books in quantity from the lowest and beat bidder, these books to bo supplied to pupils at cost.
