All Kinds of Schemes Worked to Benefit Those Who Have a Pull, While Others Are Ignored. (Special Dispatch to the Sunday News.) WASHINGTON, D.

Aug. has remained for Gov. Merriam, the Director of the Census, to be the first offcial at the head of a governmental department or bureau to set his foot down and declare that no man or woman shall hold a position in his who is drawing a Government from department, any other department of the Government. When he recently learned that one young man was engaged in earning and drawing a good salary as clerk in the Sixth Auditor's office in the daytime, and was drawing another good salary for services rendered in the census office at night, he promptly invited him to resign one or the other of the positions. This he did, giving up his census position.

for he received a smaller salary there than are the other position. This incident has served to again call the attention of the public to the fact that there are many similar instances be found among the various departments of the Government and in Congress, where one man is drawing two good fat salaries from the Government at one and the same time, while thousands all over the country who are worthy and equally capable equally, be only too glad to be in a posttion where they could draw one salary from Uncle Sam. Instances not a few could be cited where retired army and navy officers who are drawing large salarles as such retired officers are also serving in important clerkships in the various departments, and drawing large salaries What makes such cases all the more aggravating is the fact that these officers were all retired for some alleged disability, supposedly such as to utterly disqualify them for any active duty whatever. One conspicuous case in point is that of Maj. William P.

Huxford, who was retired many years ago as a captain in the regular army and draws a salary of $2100 per annum as such retired officer, and yet is able and has for years served as clerk to the Senate tee on Military Affairs, for which he recelves an annual salary of $2240, besides an extra month's pay at least once in each Congress. He also draws one or two other salaries as recorder of the loyal legion and other secret societies, and is altogether quite a thrifty individual. Another case is that of Charles E. Morse, who draws his $2100 as a retired army captain, and is and has been for some years disbursing clerk of the Bureau of Labor, for which duties he receives another salary of $1600 per year. Morse has been on the retired list A ever since 1884.

Another case is that of Herman Schreiner, also a retired army captain, who, in addition to his $2100 salary as such, draws $2000 per year as clerk in the office of the Commissioner of Railroads, which latter salary he has drawn for several years. Another case is that of Gen. William F. Smith, commonly known during the Civil War as "Baldy" Smith. Although a brevet general during the War, he is now retired with the rank of major, Congress having passed a special act for that purpose, in 1889.

He is not now drawing salaries, but for a dozen years he did, having been employed as civil engineer in charge of harbor works at Wilmington, Delaware. Besides the double salaries, these offcers, as retired officers, are -allowed to purchase all their provisions, fuel and other supplies wholesale rates, which is a great increase to the earning capacity of their money, and makes a great. saving their families. Altogether the lot the men who are so tot fortunate as to draw two salaries seems to those men who cannot even draw one to be a very desirable one. However, were all the public servants as conscientious as is Gov.

Merriam, the doubtful pollcy of allowing any such a technical violation of law and good taste would forever be stopped. As there are scores of such cases that could be mentioned, and each man has a "pull" of some sort the practice that seems so unjust to others less fortunate is not likely to be wiped out.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. ceased to be Indiana's Gretna Green last night after a struggle between County Clerk Carr and Attorney-General William L.

Taylor. The fees the clerk have amounted to about $3000 a year. Non-residents were charged $1 extra. Most of the elopement marriages were not recorded by the clerk for months "and sometimes years afterward. The Attorney-General merely nounced: "Every license issued to non-residents of the State is Illegal and the clerk who issued the same and the justice or minister who solemnizes the marriage is each Mable to prosecution for each case." This had the desired effect.

The clerk refused to issue licenses to six pairs who crossed the Ohio River from Louisville last night. The runners who were m- ployed by the magistrates to meet elopIng couples at the ferries have been discharged. Magistrate House who has married over 10,000 pairs during his term, says he is glad the traffic has been abolished. He will take a trip to Europe on his fees. FRENCH GLAD THAT TURKEY CAME DOWN.

Fear That Festivities in Honor of Czar Might Suffer From the Affair. (By Associated Press.) PARIS, Aug. foreign office officials do not conceal their delight at the settlement of the Turkish difficulty. During the last few days it was evident that some anxiety was felt lest the affair mar the festivities on the occasion of the Czar's visit. The correspondent of the Associated Press learns that M.

Constans, dispatch was very brief; but. it leaves no doubt that the Sultan has yielded all that was wanted in the matter of the Quays, by issuing an trade recognizing the full rights, claimed by the French company, to extend its operations, buy land and start ferries, also removing the annoying restrictions hitherto imposed by the customs and police officials. This not only ends the dispute, but, also ends all question of the purchase of the companles' concession by the Porte at the present time. Regarding the other French claims, as their amount has been admitted by Turkey, the negotiations only turn on the manner of payment. It is believed this will be arranged entry quickly.

CUBAN CIGARS CUT NO FIGURE. Not Enough Can Be Made to Affect Consumption of the American Market. (By Associated Press.) HAVANA, Aug. Bock. a report to the Cigar Manufacturers' Union regarding the outlook the cigar and tobacco industry, expresses the opinion that there is no danger from American competition so far as Cuban cigars are concerned.

He takes the ground that, even If Cuba sent all her cigars to the United States--and she produced 200,000,000 last year- this could not seriously affect the American producers and manufacturers, who last year sold 5,500,000,000 cigars in the United States. Even if Cuba were to more than double her present output and send all to the United States this would not change the situation. SUNK IN COLLISION. ANTIOCH, Aug.

Republicans, He Says, Are Ready to Accept Any Combination Candidate. (By Associated Press.) BROOKLYN, Aug. Eagle of this city says: For several weeks past it has been assumed that Senator Thomas C. Platt was hostile to the nomination. of Seth Low on the fusion ticket, and that Mr.

Low was out of consideration as the candidate for Mayor this year. The ground for this assumption seems to be the repeated declarations of Senator Platt that he favored an independent Democrat. This morning, however, the Republican State leader made his position more definite and specifically stated that he and the Republican organization would agree to the nomination of Columbia's president if he should be agreed upon by the anti-Tammany conference. A reporter asked the Senator this morning about his attitude to several of the men who have been more or less prominently mentioned for the Mayoralty. "Don't mention candidates to me," he said.

"I have nothing to do with candidates. The Republicans will accept anybody who is agreed upon by the Citizens' Union and the independent Democrats, no matter who. The Republicans do not ask to have a voice in the selection. Let the other organizations pick their man and we will indorse "Would you accept even Seth was asked. "Yes, even Seth Low.

if he gets the Indorsement of the Citizens' Union." This statement could scarcely be taken to mean that the Republican leader preferred Low to other men who been mentioned, but it ought to dispose of the theory that Low would not be acceptable in any case to the Republican organization. There was perhaps a tone in the Senator's voice which indicated that Mr. Low was a good way from being his first preference and that old scores are not entirely. forgotten.

In opera an artist is confined to a few cities each year, while in concert one may travel the world over.

Beside this consideration, the latter fleld is less fatiguing to the voice and more renumerative. Mme. Blauvelt also announces that in future she will be her own manager in America as she has been in Europe. She has nothing to complain of in reference to American managers, but belleves that with concert engagements an artist can do better dealing directly with the singing societies.
