companies instead of one. as At present; and that the old dilapidated shanties, which are a disgrace aliko to the city and the government, should be replaced by more modern structures of suitable architectural design. Jtis likely that this idea will be carried out at Forts Wayne, Sndling and other forts along the northern border, and that a military post will be established near Chicago that will be similar in many respects to the one recently established in Atlanta, Ga. OBJECTOR IIOLMAN. How He Expect* to Kerure the Nomination for the Senate. Special to tiie Dxlianapoliß Journal Washington, July 4. —Nearly all the Indiana delegation have again left. Mr. Holman has started a literary bureau on a small scale, which is supplying the rural districts of northern Indiana with long and thrilling accounts of the objector's public service. He believes that he can “down" the Democratic war-horses for the senatorial nomination, but he enters tho fight, after having been sponged ofT with alcohol, a little groggy on his pins. This, no doubt, is due, however, to the fact that there are so many curves in the Baltimore & Ohio road, over which he travels. The Hon. William has got not only the rank and tile of the Democratic party of Indiana down on him, hut nearly all of his colleagues in the House, and he will have to display a great and al more military skill than he has yet been credited with to win tho senatorial nomination. TUB lIOOSIKK OFFICE-SEEKER. The Breezy Conlhlettco He Show* on Hlh Arrival, and How He Gradually Subsides. Washington special. Since the return of Senator Yoorhees last Saturday lrom Greenville, Tenn., Indiana is again well represented hereby Ambitious placehunters. Thf Hoosier office seeker takes the cake. Whon lie first arrives in Washington he makes it ine duty to visit all the hotels, call on all the Indiana congressmen, especially Senator Voorhees, whom he familiarly talks about as “Dan," and says he has a strong letter from “Uncle Joe.’’ meaning, of course, ex-Senatov Joseph E. M< Donald, and with a knowing wink of the eye he dives down into his coat pocket with the expression, “You Viet, too, I’m hacked by ‘old Tom. ' evidently referring to the Vice president. The 1 loonier applicant carries a cane or an umbrella, and sometimes both. Ho puts up at a cheap hotel or boarding-house, but can be seen every evening around the most prominent hotels, occupying the seats provided for guests, chewing a bunch of tooth-picks with as much relish and saiifaetion as if he had bad n square meal. Whether in the corridor of a hotel or on the sidewalk he can always be heard, for a lioosier applicant is u demonstrative “cuss.” He talk.- loud, gesticulating artistically, and imagines that he is the only one sure of a good position. If he is a recent arrival be looks with compassion upon those who have been here since the inauguration. He usually keeps this up for several days, but gradually it is apparent that his countenance becomes serious. 110 talks less, and has not so much faith in tVie letters from "Uncle Joe’’ and “Old Toro” as when ho first arrived, but still he haunts “Dan.” His beverages when ho first comes consist of mint juleps, sherry cobblers, smashes, gin fiz, and occasionally a pous.se case. But now his favorite groegery is located away from the hotels, and usually has for a sign a picture of Garobrinus with an overflow ing schooner of lager, where a free lunch is always spread. lie prefers this, as it gives him an excuse to take a walk and muchneeded exorcise, and affords an opportunity to quietly talk over tho situation. At times he tries to appear witty by asking an acquaintance: “What are we here for!’ 1

MINOR TOPICS. Something that Seekers Alter Office Should Make a Note Os. {Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, July 4.—Office-seekers throughout tho country ought to know that, barring the postoftices, there are more applicants for the few hundred special agencies in the several depart incuts than all the other thousands of federal positions combined. Two out of every three men who want a place want to be special agents or examiners This, lam told, is because of an innpre sion that the agents and examiners do not have to pass an examination before being admitted to their positions. A prominent Republican who is yet holding an important position in a department here, tells me that there is ail the difference in the world between the qualifications of tli£ rnen who applied for place before the 4th of last March, and those coming up. now He thinks the former are infinitely better qualified, and says Democrats are against civil service because it recognizes only merit. Eccentricities at the White House. - p*ri;i Ito the 1 tiCia.r,upoHi> Journal. Washington, July 4—There is a good deal of eccentricity practiced at the White House in the matter of making appointments. A congressman asked the head of a department, yesterday, when a certain appointment would be made, and the head expressed the situation when he replied. “No use to ask me. I can never tell when a man I recommend will be appointed, or why there is delay Trie President is the head of this administration. What is truo of me is true with all the Cabinet ” During the time of other Presidential reigns the newspaper correspondents when informed that a Cabinet officer had made a recommendation for an appointment, could, with a very large degree of certainty, anticipate the appointment. Now, such a Ih.Hg as “anticipating” is out (ft tho question. It is no guaranty tlmt a man will be given .. piace when a Cabinet officer recommends. There i a man above—and he appoints. The I Juliana Marslialsliip. \\ AKbiiigton Special. Edward Hawkins, of LaPorte, who is booked for the United States marsbulship, is here on his third visit s nee the inauguration. Tho present marshal has had tho office four years, but owing to tho assassination of President Garfield his commission was not issued until October by President Arthur. Ills friends think that as the present incumbent has served four years in tho offi. e his term has expired; but the Attorneygeneral has decided that the commission dates only from the day that the Senate confirmed him. Hawkins will, therefore, probably not get. the place until fall He says he prefers to wait until General Foster's term expires rather than tile charges against him, inasmuch as he has no opposition for the position. Hawkins is backed by Yoorhees, Hendricks. McDonald, aud the entire Indiana delegation. Indiana Personals. Sv**clnl t< (’iiiriMiuti Enyuin-r.

DISORDER IN CHICAGO. The Street-Car Strikers Quiet—Serious Trouble with the Lumber-Shovers. Chicago, July 4. —Everything is quiet in the West Division this morning. No attempt has or will lie made to run cars, and there arc compara tively few people on Madison street, tho scene of yesterday’s disorder. A few of tho strikers are lounging around in the neighborhood of the sin hies, apparently on guard. At the strikers’ meeting last night it was decided to keep watch over the barns during the Fourth, though with little expectation that tho company would attempt to run out any cars, and to be on hand at the usual hour Sunday morning to prevent tho cars from being stnrtod. The report which was circulated last night that a mar. had died from the effects of the clubbing he received from ono of the policemen turns out to ho untrue. Mayor Harrison has written letters to President Jones, of the West Division Street-railway Company, and to the president of the Car Conductors’ and Drivers’Association, suggesting that each side to the present dispute select an arbitrator, and that between them they select a third, making an arbitration committee of three, whoso decision with reference to the strike and its antecedents shall be final. No replies have yet been received. A mass meeting of strikers and sympathizers was held this afternoon, which passed off quietly, without any programme having been arranged for to-morrow. It is expected, however. that at a meeting now in progress tho strikers will decide upon what action will bo taken should the company attempt to start cars hi the morning. At meeting to night the strikers and their allies passed a resolution accepting the mayor's plan for settling the difficulties with the company by arbitration, and appointed a committee to wait on the Mayor tomorrow to ascertain whether the plan is satisfactory to tlie other side. The plan, as indicated in a former dispatch, is for the appointment of three arbitrators, the third one to be agreed upon by both sides. In view of this apparent possibility of arbitrating the differences, the meeting took no action as to operations on Monday. In addition to the street-ear men’s strike, there has been considerable trouble on the lumber docks here within the past few days, caused by lumbermen Attempting to unload lumber with their own gang of men instead of employing members of the Lumber JShovers’ Union. In several cases barges have remained unloaded for several days because the lumbermen would not employ the union men, and the latter would not permit them to employ anyone else. What might have been a serious riot occurred at the dock of 8. B. Barker & Go. it seems that the T. W. Harvey Lumber Company, owners of tho barge St. Joseph, who use their own men in unloading their boat, and ignore the Lumber Shovers’ Union, attempted yesterday to deliver a consignment of lumber to S. B. Barker & Cos. Be fore reaching tho dock of the latter firm the boat took on a number of non-union shovers, w ho, upon embarking at tno dock, were met by a couple of hundred members of the Union, who began to attack them. The captain immediately ran the boat to the opposite side of tho slip, where the non union men deserted her. He notified the down-town office of tho company, which sent more men, but the union laborers headed them off' on Blue Island avenue, and persuaded them to turn back. A tug was then loaded with other men, and sent up. In the meanwhile, a detachment of fifteen officers was sent from the Bin man street station, under command of Sergeant Enright. On the appearance of the police the crowd scattered, and the work of unloading the barge proceeded under the protection of the officers.

A Call for the Communistic lied Flag. Cleveland, July 4.— The striking iron workers in the Eighteenth ward passed a very quiet Fourth. No violence was attempted. Ia tho afternoon an out door meeting was held, and numerous speeches were made. Heretofore they have carried an American flag in their parades, but now they are clamoring for the red symbol of the Commune. A committee will wait on the Messrs. Chisholm, of the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company, and ask the management to sign the following proposal: “The men shall receive the same wages as were paid before the present difficulty commenced; they shall be paid every two weeks; no man shall be discharged for the pait he has taken in this strike." The men are very determined, and say they will insist ou tho above, and will give no concessions. Two Railway Wrecks. Columbus, 0.. July 4.—An Alliance, Ohio, special to the Columbus Dispatch says: A southbound freight train, a double-header, on tho Cleveland & Pittsburg railroad, broke in two when near Salineviilo last night. Seventeen ears and the engine were thrown from the track, piling them up and completely obstructing the track. No one was hurt. Tho night express, bound for Pittsburg, on tho same road, was transferred to tho Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago track at this place. When near Latonia, tho express overtook an east bound empty emigrant train, and before the engine could be stopped, it had plunged into the empty coaches. The engineer, fireman, brakeman and baggagemaster of tho express v\ere badly injured. The operator at Salem is said to have been engaged in selling tickets, and let the express pass unobserved without giving orders. lusight Into Foreign Decorations. Montreal, July 4.—L. A. Senegal, president of tho North IShore railway—an enterprising French Canadian in his small wav, and a kind of local Jay Gould —some titiio ago had the Cross of the Legion of Honor conferred upon him by the President of the French Republic. A French engineer named Tranchaut, belonging to tho same order, who arrived in Canada recently, has sent a communication to the French Corps Legislative asking an investigation os to how Seueeal obtained tho cross, and hinting that it washy subsidizing tho deputies. Tranchaut was arrested by Seuecal this morning on a charge of conspiracy. Borne interesting developments w ill come out at the trial, showing how easily such honors can be obtained.

AX INSULT TO TIIE NATION. Mormon Leaders Order the National Fla? Hoisted at Half-Mast on Independence Day. Salt Lake. July 4. —When the sun rose this morning the national flag hung at half mast on the City Hall, the county court-house, tiie Deseret News office, the Mormon Tabernacle, the Church. Tithing office, John Taylor’s residence, the Merman Church offices, and the Salt Lake Theater. That on tho last named building was put at full mast as soon as W. Rossiter, the present manager saw it, but those on the other buildings hung limp and dejectedly against their masts. No one could be found to explain the reason. About noon the committee, composed of United State* Marshal Ireland, C. L. Haines, Major Wilkes, and Captain Evans, (the last two named ex confederates) went to the City Hall to find out the reason. City Marshal Phillips said it was the result of a personal whim. The committee demanded that the flag be raised to full mast, which demand was met with a refusal, whereupon Captain Evans jumped up and started out to raise it himself. The door was shut and locked by the policeman before he reached it. All present, including a dozen of police officers, made a rush for Evans. Constable Charles Crow raised his club to strike, and drew his pistol, and the other officers reached for their guns. Quiet was restored by the United States mnrshal, and the conference went on. The city officials said tho Fourth of July was a Jay of mourning to them and ’’this people,” whose best men were in the penitentiary by virtue of federal official action perversive of all principles of law and liberty; that the flag over the City Hall did not belong to any ring of so-called loyal Americans, and intimated that any man who undertook to disturb tho flag at half-mast would be shot. Tne officers and the committee of citizens then went into tho street, where a small crowd had gathered, numbers of whom wanted to raise the flag at all hazards, but they were warned by the police not to attempt it on painof being “dropped." Iu a private consultation with United States Marshal Ireland, the city marshal consented either to raise it to full mast or take it down within thirty minutes. In the meantime Constable ('row had mustered tin a small squad to “clean the mob out.” The city marshal consulted with Mayor Sharp, who was attending ajMormon priesthood meeting. In less than thirty minutes the flag was run down amid the jeers and sneers of the city officials. The G. A. li. Post, which was celebrating near the city, was informed ot the difficulty, and came in, after passing resolutions to run the flags to their proper places. They met a crowd of angry citizens at the Walker House. The crowd wanted to go and. by force, put the flags where they belonged, but the counsel of Governor Murray prevailed. Finally, a committee of live was sent to demand of the mayor that it should be done, and a few minutes later tho flag at the City Hall was run* up to the mast head. The citizens’ committee made a demand on Sheriff Groesbeek, and hoisted the flag at the county court house from half to full mast, without demurrer. The flag on the co-operative store was also run from half to full mast at about 6 o’clock this evening, but the others hung out in defiance till sun down, and are yet at half mast. All who are immediately responsible for this treasonable piece of business disclaim knowing anything about it, but it has leaked out that the order to thus insult the Nation at large and the government of Utah came direct from the head ot the church.

I am afraid that tho unfortunate thing called a contretemps is not indigenous to mere society, but creeps into more sober gatherings. 1 have always had a profound admiration for tho word contretemps. It is so good a description of anything immoral or wicked. When an unfortunate break is made at a dinner party, when a fellow bursts his clothes at a dance, when a lady is caught flirting with a man in a quiet corner at a ball, when a man hits another over the head for calling him a liar, when anything happens, from ajfloa bite to a divorce, it is always allowable to call it a contretemps. They have penny reading still in the country parts of England. A penny reading is an entertainment where well meaning, conceited people bore an audience for pennies with the mantle of charity hiding them from the natural courso of human revenge. It was at one of these entertainment* that the chairman produced a contretemps by announcing: “Miss Brown will not sing Tut Me in My Little Bed’ in company with the curate.” lie forgot a comma. An Encampment Incident. Philadelphia Telegraph. The Southern organizations are located north of the St. Louis tents. Last night they joined in with tho Northern companies singing tho “Star Spangled Banner,” “My Country. Tis of Thee, ’ “Yankee Doodle,” and “Away Down ta Dixie.” They sang with a hearty will and a great deal of good humor, until the’ St. Louis men struck up “Hang Jell Davis,” and tho Southern troop* came to a dead silence. They don’t sing that tune down South. There was no ill feeling over it, but it is said that it put the Southern moil on their mettle. Karly iu the Homing. San FraneUco chronicle. Monsiguor (lapel, in his lecture on Thursday night, remarked that “oue of the characteristic* of the people of this city is the largeness of the heads of many ot the men.” From this it is evident that the distinguished divine is abroad early. That is tlu* time when the man with the big head is to bo seen in San Francisco.
