Bank, of New Orleans. He became cashier of the Third National Bank of New York, in 1869, and was soon after elected a director of the bank, lu ISSI, he resigned the office of cashier, but continued to act as a director, and still holds that ofi.ee. He had a conference with the chiefs of division of the Treasury office, this afternoon, and assured them that he did not propose to make • <ny changes in the clerical force of the office except tor inefficiency or neglect of duty. It is expected that the transfer of the office from Mr. Wyman to Mr. Jordan, on the Ist of May, will necessitate a counting of the cash in the Treasiy’y. i COERCION OF VOrERSt Secretary Whitney Declares It Will Not Be Permitted in the Navy Yards. Washington, April 22—Secretary Whitney has written the following letter to Commodore John H. Russell, commander of the Mare Island navy yard, relation to the coercion of the vote of that yard by foremen at past elections? “Since assuming the duties of this office my attention has been called to the conduct of the foremen of the Mare Island navy yard in past years, particularly in 1882. After reading the testimony in the contested election case of Buck vs. Dudley, taken in the fall of 1883, there is no doubt in my mind that the vote of the yard was practically coerced and controlled by the foremen. either with or without orders. The men were obliged to take their ballots in a folded form from a table presided over by oue or more of the foremen, hold the ballot in sight while walking to the polls, for the purpose of preventing any change ot ballot, and the ballot deposited without the voter having had the opportunity to see or know its contents. I find that the same foremen who conducted this proceeding are still at the yard in the vari ©us departments. Great complaint is made to me of similar proceedings in other years, but I have already read sufficient of this sworn testimony to satisfy me that the men who were engaged in that proceeding were foremen who should be cleared out of the yard in the interest of decent government, and if a similar proceeding or anything like it, or any attempt to coerce the vote of the employes of the yard by foremen or superior officers, shall take place hereafter. whether in the interest of the dominant party or otherwise, I will apply a similar remedy. Appointments in place of the persons discharged will be made temporarily and upon trial, until efficient men shall have been obtained. “In this connection, 1 desire to say that the bureau officers here complain greatly of the delays and the extraordinary expense required to 4o work at the Mare Island navy-yard. I ask your special attention to these matters, in the hope that you will co operate witn me in the bringing about of greater efficiency, and the elimination of these objectionable features." PLEURO-PNEfJMONIA. Commissioner Column's Rules for Extirpating the Disease. Washington, April 22.—The First Comptroller having decided that the Commissioner of Agriculture can legally use the pleuro pneumonia appropriation to pay for such animals as it may be found necessary to kill in order to stamp out an infection, Commissioner Colman has prepared a set of rules to govern the Department in this regard, and has telegraphed a copy of them to Governor Marmaduke, of Missouri, asking him to advise by telegraph of his acceptance of his plans and methods. The rules will be submitted to the executives of other States for acceptance. They are as follows: “Whenever the chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry shall be satisfied, and shall report to the Commissioner of Agriculture, that contagious pleuro pneumonia, or other dangerous infectious or communicable diseases exist in any State or Territory, and are liable to spread from such State or Territory into any other State or Territory, the Commissioner of Agriculture will designate one or more officers or employes of said bureau, whose duty shall be to proceed immediately to the locality where such infectious disease is reported to exist, and there establish quarantine regulations to prevent the spread of said disease, or to assess the value of the animal ©r animals which it may be found necessary to destroy in order to extirpate said disease, and to employ both measures, if necessary for the extinction of the same. It shall be the duty of such officers or employes, detailed for the purposes aforesaid, to report to the Commissioner of Agriculture the number of animals they have found it necessary to destroy, with the names of their ownore and the assessed value of said cattle; and the said officers or employes shall deliver to said owner or owners certificates of the number of ©attic so killed, and the assessed value thereof. Upon receiving said report the Commissioner of Agriculture shall examine the same, and, if he approves the proceedings of said officers or employes, and the assessments made by them, he may order the payment of the amount so assessed to the respective owners of the cattle destroyed, and if he shall disapprove the amount so assessed, he may order payment to such owners of such animals as he may deem a just and reasonable compensation for said cattle. “It shall also be the duty of said officers or employes to cause the carcasses of animals found necessary to be destroyed, to be burned, buried or otherwise disposed of; and the cost of such disposition of said carcasses shall also bo reported by them to the Commissioner of Agriculture; and the amount, if approved, will be paid out of the fund appropriated for such purposes. If. in the opinion of said officers, or employes so detailed, the spread of such infection or communicable disease can bo prevented by the quarantine of the animals in the locality where such disease is reported to exist, then a quarantine shall be effected, the cost of the same also to be reported to the Commissioner of Agriculture, and if approved by him, the same to be paid out of the fund hereiubefore named.” Rules governing the details of slaughter and quarantine will be prepared immediately. THE ILLINOIS SENATORSHIP. Failure of the Efforts to Induce the President to Interfere. Washington, April 22.—The Evening Star says: “There is quite an army of Illinois statesmen in the city—Morrison, Springer, Lawler and Worthington, and a number of the Legislature are now here. Townshend and Ward are expected in a few days. They say they are looking after the federal patronage in the State, but in reality they havo more than this in view. They want to fix up some plan to secure the election of a Democratic senator. Morrison will not withdraw from the contest to give place to another Democrat, until all the Democrats have voted for him and he has failed; and the Democrats who are opposed to him are afraid to give him their votes lest he should have a Republican vote in reserve and thus secure his election. When Townshend and Ward arrive, a caucus will be held here to consider what is to be done. All efforts to induce the President to take a hand in the matter have failed, it is •aid." THE WOMEN MUST GO. A Great Problem Which Is Puzzling the Higgins Reformers. Washington Special. “How can we get rid of the women In these departments?” is a question which puzzles Democratic reformers of the Higgins type in Washington. It is certain that no effort will be neglected to obtain a satisfactory solution of this problem. In the Treasury Department alone about 700 women are employed as clerks and copyists, and in the other departments enough more are found to make the aggregate number about 1,600. The yearly salaries of a large number of these women are under $1,200. A majority receives trom $720 to SI,OOO. These women, of course, are neither voters nor political “workers,” and most of them are the mothers, widows or other relatives of men who lost their lives in defense of the Union. There are hundreds of hungry and thirsty Democrats—able-bodied men—who would be glad to have the places now filled by these women, small as are the salaries affixed to them. Already the cry is raised that the women owe their places solely to political influence, that they are taxy and inefficient, and that they dishonestly

obtain leaves of absence onacconnt of pretended sickness. The fact is that in proportion to the pay they receive the women clerks inthegovernment service are as useful, valuable andeffici'Nit as are the men who fill like positions. Until the Republican party came into power, few if any _ women were given places in the departments. The experience of twenty-four years has shown that the innovation adopted in the first administration of President Lincoln was a wise one. Any attempt by the Higginses to overturn what has become a firmly-established policy, in order to make room for needy political *‘workers,” will not succeed without a severe struggle. THE VICE-PRESIDENT. Mr. Hendricks Beating the Record as a Persistent Office-Seeker. Washington Special to Sew York iierald. Ex-Senator Ferry, when he was acting Vicepresident, was notorious as the most persistent office-begger in Washington. It used to be said in those days that the President and Cabinet officers gave Mr. Ferry places as people give bones to a dog—to get rid of him. Vice-president Hendricks is a good man, but if he does not stop pretty soon he will get people into the habit of likening him to Mr. Ferry. Mr. Hendricks has a great many friends and evidently a benevolent heart Sydney Smith defined a charitable man aa “one who borrows a guinea of A. to rive it to B.” Mr. Hendricks's benevolence takes the shape of asking offices for his dependent friends, and the energy of his efforts in this direction is so great that it has attracted general remark and sometimes a kind of comment which would scarcely be agreeable to him if it came to his ears. A Vice-president has but little to do. He is a fifth wheel to the coach of state. There is a general opinion that the American state coach has never had so active and troublesome a fifth wheel, unless, indeed, Mr. Acting Vice-president Ferry should rank in this regard with Mr. Hendricks. It is probably embarrassing for a President or a Cabinet officer to refuse a Vice-presi-dent's importunities; but that ought to he a reason why a Vice-president should be very moderate in the exercise of them. It would be a credit to Vice president Hendricks if he were seen much less frequently at the White House and in the departments as a beggar for offices for his friends. MINLSTER MORGAN’S CAREER. A Distinguished Military Man, Wealthy and Quite Self-Denying. Washington special. James Morgan, of South Carolina, lately appointed consul-general to the British possessions in- Australia, and who is said to have been an ardent supporter of Blaine during the last campaign, has had & very eventful career. During the war he was a midshipman onboard the rebel, privateer Georgia, commanded by Captain Maury. At the close of the war he returned to South Carolina and married a very wealthy lady. On the death of his wife he inherited $1,000,000 from her estate; but, having means of his own at the time, he returned the entire amount to her relatives. Later he lost his own fortune and went to Egypt, where he joined the army of the Khedive. He spent several years in the Egyptian army, and, for the greater part of the time, was chiet of staff to the Khedive. He is a man of fine physique, handsome face and charming manners. He became such a favorite with Ismail Pasha that ho excited the envy of the native officers, who finally succeeded in having him ordered to command an expidition tb the second cataracts, thinking that he would resign rather than go; but he accepted the command and accompanied Chinese Gordon, where he won distinction and was praised by the Khedive for his services. He is a brother in law of Dawson, editor of the Charleston News and Courier, and it is due to Dawson’s influence that he secured his appointment, which was as much a surprise to him as to anyone else. MINOR MENTION. How Ex-Governor Porter, of Tennessee, Responded to an Invitation to a Duel. Washington, April 22.—Some time ago an interview appeared in the Post, of this city, with exRepresentative Whittliorne, of Tennessee, which was considered by Governor Porter, the recently appointed Assistant Secretary of State, also of Tennessee, as disparaging to him. The interview was copied extensively in his own State. He sent a card to the Memphis Avalanche, in which he said that, as Mr. Whitthorne had served in Congress, the people of Washington knew him, and, as the people of Tennessee knew both men, it was not necessary for him to comment upon the interview. The ex-Representative thereupon sent a friend to Washington with a note asking Governor Porter to “go outside of the United States and explain a little matter." Governor Porter asked the friend if ho knew the contents of the note, and the latter replied in the affirmative. Thereupon Governor Porter said. “You will consider it no affront if I return the note to you." The note was returned. General and Personal. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 22.—General Hazen,Third Assistant Postmaster-general, says that the post-al-cards issued after July 1 will be greatly superior in quality to those now in use. He is negotiating for a better class of card-board, with New England manufacturers, and has already selected the material for the new cards. The new ten-cent stamp, which, when attached to letters, will insure their immediate delivery, in cities, any time before midnight, have not yet been designed by the postoffice authorities. It is said that they will not be prepared and issued until after July 1, as the Postmaster-general is too busy with other matters to attend to the selection of a design at present. His duties are confined to the manufacture of pap for hungry Democrats just now. Word comes from the White House—unofficially—that the President never promised to make judicial appointments in the Territories from residents in the Territories. Montana, Idaho and Dakota Democrats, however, insist that the promise made by the President was broad enough to warrant them to infer that every appointee, executive or judicial, in all the Territories, should bo selected from residents. The new Democratic officials are hinting mysteriously of the discovery of gross frauds in many of the bureaus of the government Thus far, however, the frauds are confined to hints. It is learned that a number of discharged employes of the various offices have been “gulling” the new men with wild stories of fraud and robbery. They have told the same stories before, and investigations have exploded all of them. Lieut Charles H. Judd, who was at Aspinwall when that place was burned, some days ago, and who was condemned by a medical survey and sent to New York by Commander Kane, was to day placed in an insane asylum. The Postmaster-general has forbidden the delivering of money orders or registered letters to C. P. Schmidt & Cos., of Detroit, Mich., who have been convicted of dealing in fraudulent lot tery tickets. The President to day appointed Lewis MoMulien to be appraiser at the port of New York, vice AP. Ketchura, suspended. Mr. McMullen was nominated during the special sessiou of the Senate, but no action was taken on the nomination. The Comptroller of the Currency to-day extended the corporate limit of the Vincennes National Bank, of Vincennes, lud., to April 16, 1905. - _ Ex-Secretary Frelinghnysen. Newark.

GRANT AGAIN TAKES THE AIR. Another Ride in the Park, Followed hy a Walk—The Patient Gaining Strength. New York, April 22.—Dr. Douglas slept at the Grant mansion last night, and this morning said that there was no ill effect from the General’s exercise yesterday, unless it was in the added fatigue that prevented profound sleep during the early part of the night. The General’s pains are abated to-day, but the trouble at the base of the tongue is at all times the seat of greater or less pain to the patient Dr. Douglas, in referring to the Brazilian cancer cure that is reported to have been sent to the family, said that the General’s physicians had had the preparation nearly two months, but that it had never been used, because there was no data at hand of its efficacy, and General Grant was not a patient to experiment upon. The name of the Brazilian preparation is alveloz, and it is the juice of a southern plant In conclusion, Dr.. Douglas remarked that the General was, on the whole, improved to-day, though he was yet a very sick man. At noon General Grant and wife went to drive in an open carriage. The salutes of the bystanders were returned by the General with a smile and the true military salute. Doctors Barker, Shrady and Douglas met in consultation at 2 o’clock to-day. The General’s throat was examined by the aid of the electric light, and was found better than when last seen by Doctors Barker and Shrady, on Sunday last. As Dr. Douglas was leaving, he said, in response to inquiry, that the General experienced some pain during the examination of the throat, but otherwise he had suffered no more pain to-day than yesterday. The throat was much improved, except at the main point The patient was stronger, and could eat more and with a greater desire for food. General Grant, said Dr. Douelas, was better at present that when he took his last drive before the warning symptoms were developed, three weeks ago last Sunday. Dr. Douglas was of the opinion that General Grant would not go out to walk this afternoon, but the Doctor had not been gone twenty minutes when the General and Colonel Grant left the house and walked to Madison avenue. At the corner the General stood a few moments and gazed down the avenue, and then slowly retraced his steps to the house. At 9:30 p. m. Dr. Douglas returned to stay all night. He refused to make any statement of the General’s condition, and said he would issue no more bulletins, whether the other physicians would do so or not in the future. A movement is on foot in Chattanooga to tender General Grant the free use, during his convalescence, of a private hotel on Lookout mountain, in sight of the battle fields of Chickamauga. Mission Ridge, Lookout Mountain and Chattanooga. SPRING NEWSPAPER STYLES. Points Concerning: the Funny Column, Headlines, Circulation, Etc. Chicago Tribune. Spring styles in the best newspaper society show a number of changes. Credits are now usually worn at the bottom of the item. Their use is de rigueur. In ultra-fashionable offices this season “our esteemed exchange’’ has quite taken the place of “our contemporary.” In funny columns the chic thing is to joke at the jokes. An ennuye air with the old mother-in-law, plumber and ice-cream squibs is much affected. The addition of the word *‘chestnut,” or “rats” at the end of an item is esteemed a neat thing in trimmings. Full dress this year is worn in shades a trifle darker than last season The late spring thaws and swollen streams all over the country have muddied the water used in the paper mills. The “we” is now worn chiefly with the facetious paragraph. In brevier editorial it is en regie only with the gravely flippant tout ensemble. Snake stories retain their popularity. They are worn a trifle plainer and with less garniture of the same than last season. Headlines are worn plain, of the same material as the body of the article. The alliterative and old-colored Dolly Varden styles are esteemed marks of vulgarity and lack of acquaintance with le beau monde. For facings to the genial editorial the playful pun is no longer the mode. It has been superseded by the artful syllogism. In dramatic criticism the somber, half-mourn-ing style of last year has given way to the soulful gush, very low in the corsage. The recent farewell to Irving by Willie Winter is noted as the most decollette thing in this line yet exhibited. lii affidavits of circulation this season no novelties are noted. The old style of taking the total issue on weekly day, multiplying by three, and committing perjury before a notary public, is still all the rage. Buncombe wagers offered rival publishers are still used as trimming in the East. In lingerie a pretty little thing is lady society reporter who does not try to slip in puffs of dry goods houses nor stab her lady .friends in accounts of receptions. This novelty is exceeded iu supply by the demand. Gordon on Suicide. London World. There is a world of pathos in the story of Gen. Grant’s last days. His terrible pains seem to h<\ve been borne with a red Indian stoicism. Incurable cancer is one of the direst and most agonizing forms of disease, and was considered by Gordon—if I may credit a gentleman who met him some years ago at Singapore—as sufficient excuse for curtailing one’s own existence.
