DIFFERENCE IN AD3IINISTRATIONS. Distinctive Characteristics of the Cleveland Era Gone Forever, Washington Special to New York Tribune." The administration is only a week old, but it has already settled down to busi ness in a fashion which promises well for the future. The government machinery has fallen into able and not nnpracticed hands, and it runs smoothly; one observes none of the jarring and friction which dis turbed its movements four years ago. There was a deal of political kite-flying then; ono sees none of it now. Then the very air was full of proclamations and "policies;" now everything is calm and serene, despite disquieting rumors from Samoa whose foundation, however slender. seems imnosinzand substantial as a natural outgrowth of a halting and vacillating, if not pusillanimous, foreign policy. The era of kindergarten administration which beean when the American people were invited through the medium of cartoons ir. Democratic newspapers to gaze on the coatlesa President of the United States, as he sat at his desk up to his bared elbows in business, at 6 o'clock in the morning; when, in obedience to Jelfersonian simplicity. Cabinet officers sold spavined horses and rickety wagons by unction, and with ostenta lions humility went afoot to tho White House; and when the American flag was dipped in mourning over the coffin of a defaulter and traitor that era seems to have ended. The contractors who are buildin r shins for the naw are not now dis turbed by visions of bankruptcy, raised by the hostile attitude of a Secretary of the Navy and Attorney-general of the United States, for they know that good work will not be condemned at the instigation of partisan malice or prejudice; neither are the business and industrial interests of the country alarmed by uncertainties as to the future economic policy of the new aaministration. They know that the pledges of the Republican national platform were hon estly made and will be honestly redeemed. Nobody fears that tho Secretary of War will order the surrender of trophies won by Union valor in the war of the rebellion, or direct the chief of ordnance to make war on women and children for opinions' sake. Nobody expects the Postmaster-general to issue a confidential circular to Republican Con (rressmen prescri bine the means which they must use in order to drive postmasters out of the service, in the namo of civilservice reform. Nobody believes that im portant places in the diplomatic service will be tilled with men who aro under political disabilities on account of treasonable prac tices, or tliat men will be re warded for crimes against the bal-lot-bor with appointments to the solicitorgeneralship and otherhigh offices. Nobody is apprehensive that the official authority of the Department cf Justice will be used to promote a private black-mailing scheme in which its head has a pecuniary interest. Nobody fears that work-housas, jails anil other penal institutions will be ransacked to obtain recruits for tho "army of officeholders." Of course the mugwumps exhibit considerable chagrin because the Secretary of estate nas not already plunged, the country into war with at least a half dozen foreign nations. But that was to be expected. And yet they are exacting in the extreme; they ought not to expect a Republican administration to win immediately such laurels as Cleveland's did in its war aeainst Mexico on account of Cutting. But the mugwumps appear to be about the only people who aro really discontented; they are noisy, but not numerous. MINOR 3IATTEHS. Senator Chace It e fuses to Deny or Affirm the Roinor as to Ills Proposed Resignation. Washington, March 15. The published report that Senator Chace, of Rhode Island, had delared an intention to resign his seat in tho Senate, next Monday, was shown to him by an Associated Press reporter this afternoon. He declined to either affirm or deny its truth, saying that he had not repigned, but further would not speak. As he glanced over the lines, his head slowly shook from side to side in a negative fash ion, and as he came to the words, "the rea son assigned for his action is that the climate of Washington is not suitable for tho JKhoue Island man." he broke out with ' the single word "bosh." A Senator stated to the reporter that at the caucus yesterday the contemplated resignation was an nounced, and the special commit tee of seven, headed by Senator Piatt, was continued with a view to tilling the vacancies that will be occasioned by Senator Chace's retirement. The reasons announced in tho caucus for tho resigna tion are said to have been of a business nature; that ho was unable longer to neglect his affairs at home. He had intended not to be a candidate for re-election, but for political reasons it is said it was deemed best for him to accept a re-election and be sworn in. Tho Legislature is still in session, and a successor, in case of Mr. Chace' s resignation, can be elected without delay. Amone persons spoken of as likely to be candidates for the nomination are Lyman II. Golf, Benjamin N. Nappura, ex-Governor George Peabody Wetmore, and II. J. Spooner, member of Congress. Senator Aldnch is now in Providence, and a meetiug will be held, it is said, by the Rhode Island people here in a short tune to select a candidate ior ine omce. A Tast Torpedo Boat. Washington, March 15. Encouraging reports come to the Navy Department respecting the torpedo boat now building at the HerreshofT works in Rhode Island. The inspectors say that the material used is of high quality and the work of good character. Before the first of March most of the steel skin was in place, only one - A. 1 A 1 course remaining to De nveieu on xno nun. The deck plates are on as far as practicable, the quadruple expansion engines have been ect np in the shop, and the contractors ex pect to complete the boat by June 1. which is the date lixed in the contract. The boat is required to make twenty-two knots an hour, and any deficiency on this score will subject the contractors to penalties, while for any excess of speed above twenty-three knots they will receive a bonus. If the new craft (the first of its kind in American shipbuilding) fulfills the requirements, of which there is little doubt, it will be the fleetest boat in the United States, and fully equal iu buj aacsBcu uy European navies. Counterfeiters Captured. Washington', March 15. Chief Bell, of the secret service, received information to night of the arrest of a gang of counter feiters in New York city, who for several weeks past have been successfully putting spurious silver dollars in circulation. The officers of the secret service this evening 1 2 t ' I 1 I . 1 rauieu a aouse iu rjiunugp Biit-ei, wuerc in counterfeit money was being made and arrested Richard Fisher, his wife and an Italian named Robert Jueirler. whom thev found there. They found in the house nino ets of plaster-paris molds, a complete out fit of counterfeiters' tools and considerable of the spurious coin. It is said that the

can g. of which the three persons arrested

form a part, has given the secret-servico officers a great deal of trouble, and that Fisher is a skilled counterfeiter, with a good deal of shrewdness in escaping detection. Secretary Wlndom Slakes a Correction. Washington, March 15. Secretary Windom's attention was .to-day called to a newspaper statement that he was overruled in the matter of the appoinmcnt of Assistant Secretary Batchcller. The story was thafrhe tendered the place to Mr. Coon, and that the latter accepted it, and that the appointment of Mr. Batchcller was in direct opposition to his wishes. It was further stated that Mr. Batcheller. as Piatt's man, would have control of the Treasury patronage. Mr. Windom 6aid that he did not usually notice newspaper criticisms, but that this talk was so unfair and misleading that he did not like to let it go unchallonged. As a matter or iact, ue said, xae President had specially referred this appointment to him, and he had acted in accordance with his recommendation in appointing Mr. Batcheller. It was true that Mr. Coon had been consid ered in connection with the office. He was regarded as possessing excellent onalincations for it by reason of his knowledge and experience. It was never tendered to mm, however, and consequently he had not accepted it. The!appointment of Mr. Batcheller was made after careful consideration, and was m no sense a reflection upon Mr. Coon. Mr. Windom said it was absurd to spy that any assistant secretary would have control of the rreasury appointments. That was a matter entirely in the hands of the President and himself, and was not likely to be relecated to anv other official. The Secretary said that, so far as he knew. Mr. Batcheller could not be considered as anybody's man. Indorsement of Gladstone and Parnell. Washington, March 15. A paper, signed by nearly all the members of the House and Senate of the Fiftieth Congress, and prominent officials of the government, stating that the intelligence and wealth of the United States support Gladstone and Parnell in their eflbrts for home rule in Ire land, will shortly be ent to England, f he paper has been in circulation for some time, and its object is to offset the claims of the Tory press of England that only tho riffrafl of America are in sympathy with, and lend active support to, Parnell and Glad stone. Justice Matthews. Washington, March 15. At 10 o'clock to night the condition of Justice Matthews was reported as considerably improved since last evening. No unfavorable symptoms have appeared during the day, and strong hopes are entertained that within the next two or three days ho will have re gained all ho has lately lost. General Jfotes.

Dawson, of Delaware, while the neonle in Marvland aro uririnc Mr. G. T. Baggs, of their State. General Agnus, of the Baltimore American, had interviews to-dav with President Hamson and fcecretary Windom, in which he urged that Mr. Baggs bo given the place. Tho Washington correpondent of the New York Mail and Exvress telegraphs his paper that the man the Iresident has in mind for the English mission is Warner Miller, of New York. This explains his objection to Whitelaw Reid for that post and nis desire to give the New York editor any other court. The sitnation is such that Whitelaw Reid may decline to go abroad in any capacity, claiming the English mission or nothing." Driven Insane by Lark of Occupation. . Sing Sing, N. Y March 15. Edward Broderick, aged nineteen, and Joseph Trogan, aged twenty-four, were taken, to-day, to the Auburn Insane Asylum, for convicts. About 11 o'clock last night the prison officials were startled by shrieks coming from the seventh gallery. On going to the cell of Martin Donnelly, aged twenty-two, who was serving a three years' sentence, the keeper found Donnelly crouching in a corner calling to some one to save him from the devil. A light was placed in his cell, and Donnelly calmed down. Principal-keeper Connanghton says that the men are going insane owing to their having no work. "I trust," he said, "that the Legislature will do something very soon for the convicts. If they don't, we will be kept busy all summer sending insane prisoners to tho asvlum."

LcnisTllle Courier-Journal. White Cap methods have again been brought into play to regulate Hoosier affairs. The latest instance occurred in Washington county. Ben Clifton, an idiot, has for many years been a source of great annoyance to his neighbors, and the trouble he caused them is presumed to have been the excuse for the brutal treatment the demented creature received at the hands of the lawless regulators. Instead of adopting legal means and having Clifton sent to an asylum, another mode was used to discipline him. A few nights ago a body of W hite Caps took Clifton from his bed, and, carrying nini into the darkness, gave him a severe whipping. After finishing their task tho White Caps turned the man loose, and, bleeding profnsely from the lash's cuts, the poor idiot crept back to bed. He was clad only in his night clothes.

Farmers Will Attempt to Break a Trust by Agreeing Not to Use Binding: Twine. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomixgton, March 15.

The Supreme Court of Illinois denied, to-day, tho motion to correct the judgment in the case of Fielden and others against the people, and at last the "Anarchist case" has been disposed of, so far as the Supreme Court is concerned. After the United States Supreme Court had refused to grant a writ of error, and those condemned to death had heen executed and the others wero in the penitentiary, their attorney moved tho Supreme Court to correct tho judgment. The particular portion of the judgment sought to be corrected is the wording of the first part of tho order "Now, on this day again came the said parties," etc., tho defendants' attorneys urging that the parties were not. in fact, present as recited in tho order. Tho court, in denying the motion, holds that it has no original jurisdiction of parties in 6uch cases, its office being to review tho record made by the trial court and determine whether error has entered into the trial. The parties appeared in this court by attorney. It would be impossible under tho law, the court says, to bring parties convicted of a crime from the penitentiary or jail to this court to be personally present when the record of their trial was reviewed and passed upon. lirlef Mention.

Hamilton cave an alarm immediately, and mado no effort to evado arrest. Heisnowin ;aiL Unless suppuration or blood-poisoning takes place, the woman will recover. The hotel peonlo deny that there was any man in the room. The Samoan Complications. Sax Fkancisco, March 15. An evening paper prints an interview with a gentleman now in this city, who claims to have ofnciai reasons for knowing the trne inwardness of the Samoan complications. He says this Samoan trouble is only the outcome of a policy long since agreed upon between England, France, and Germany. Laying tne minor features aside, Aew Caledonia was to be allowed to France, Samoa to Germany, and the Hawaiian Islands to England. Many arguments are advanced for the purpose of showing that the policy of tneso governments, from then until now, has been to gain possession of these respective islands. Speaking with special reference to the Hawaiian Islands, this authority said the English need some special privilege for a station for their racilic cable. Negotia tions are now pending, and have been for a year or more, for the completo purchase of tho whole or one of the Hawaiian islands by the English parties. This will bo news to the people at Honolulu as well as in the United States. It is full time, though, that it was known. These negotiations are not being conducted by the British government, but it is possible they may be for the government. Losses by Fire. Cleveland. O..

McGarigle, of the the Countv Hospital, will soon return to Edward McDonald and sentenced to three years' imprisonment, but escaped from the custody of Sheriff Matson.

Boston Tier aid. Hidden away in the weekly gossin col umn of the Birmingham Post is the following remarkable account of the change which has come over his Koyal Highness t no Prince of Wales: "YVe are all Socialists at heart." said tho Prince of Wales the other dav, when talking to a statesman of the old school, who was lamenting the progress of socialism. "and tnis conviction renders the outward semblance of Conservatism more and more difficult to maintain." This feeling on tho part oi his Koyal Highness. combined with tho necessity of upholding the old institutions at court, must have rendered t he Prince's posi tion irksome at times. Keport declares that he has for many seasons been using every endeavor to establish discipline among tho ladies and gentlemen of tho court circle by observance of tho 6trict rules of etiquette established in the early rart of the present reign. During the long retirement of her Majesty after the greafi afHiction which befell her tho discipline ehe had established grew somewhat relaxed, and various court ecandals served to point the moral and adorn tne tale of tho 6tump orators and brawling demagogues, who remained unmolested in their attacks. until it became difficult to put them down. The Prince of YVales was only awakened to the necessity of assuming the re6ponsiDinty or nis position oy nis own name being uniustlv compromised. and he then resolved to restore tho dignity A 1 1 1 ff . oi tne court, wnicn nan ueen suiierea to docomeapreyto the slandersmf i the Social istic party. He hasfibeen for some time pursuing his task, not of restoring, but modifying, the severity of the ancient cos tumes, so as to render them tolerable both to the courtiers of the past and those of to day. 1 he idea of disnensma with the baro neck and naked shoulders of the ladies frequenting her Majesty's drawing-room, seems to bo the urst step in this direction, and, it is said, emanates from the Prince himself, who. being present at a court reception at Vianna, was struck with tho diginity and propriety of the dresses of the ladies. The Queen was much averse to the change, but the Prince of Wales urged it so earnestly that her Majesty has yielded at length. The Uses cf Asphalt. Boston Ilerald. Before a meetine of the Society of Arts. held at the Institute of Technology last evening. Capt. F. V. Greene, of New York. read a paper on "lne Mature and Uses of Asphalt.'' He gave a description of tho source of the native product from which the refined asphalt is obtained. The entiro product comes from a so-called "pitch lake," situated in the island of Trinidad, loO feet above the 6ea level and about a mile from the coast. About 500,000 tons of tho native product are taken from the lake every year. 1 his is freed from vecctablo . matter and water by heating to a high temperature, and the product, the rehued asphalt, is then ready tor use. The greatest portion oi xni8 proauct is used at present for paving and rooting, although it is used to some extent in certain kinds of varnish. such as the so-called "iron varnish." and in the composition used in making patentleatner shoes. Uaptain urecne then made a comparison of the advantages and duration of asphalt and other pavings, from ouservaiion made on ine aspuait now m use at Washington and abroad. The Doctor's Mistake. Buffalo Express. "Doctor, just an instant, please," exclaimed a caller at the office of a man of Shysic as he caucht sicht of the physician isappearing in his private office. "I'll see you shortly, sir." was the curt reply. Hut a second is all I want," persisted tho caller. "I'll see you directly, sir," with sternness. The visitor took a seat in the general reception room, read the afternoon paper through, looked at tho pictures, played with the dog. and took a nap. After thirty minutes or more had passed the medicineman came out of his den, and with an air of condescension said to tho visitor: "Well, now, my man, I am at your 6fjrvicc. Yonr turn has come. What can I do for youH "Oh, nothing in particular," was the reply. "I just dropped in to tell you that your neighbor's three cows have escaped from tho barn and are having a picnic in your garden and backyard llower-beds." The Cardiff Giant Fraud. Chicago Inter Ocean. In a small garden attached to one of the most frequented saloons in Kl Paso lies r stone imago of heroic size, which soni twenty years ago created au unbounded sensation, not only among the publfo generally, but also among scientists. It is the celebrated Cardilt Giant. After Ihirnum had done with it and the charm of novelty had worn off, this noted fraud knocked about tho country from post to pillar, until finally, at El Taso. it was attached and sold to defray a board bill and transportation expenses. It is fast troing to wreck, as tho customers of tho saloon are in tho habit of chipping oil' pieces of tho giant for keepsakes. The breaking disclosed the fact that the interior of tho figure was tilled with a heavy frame of iron rods holding it secureby together. A Valuable OIL Hartford Times. Thursday there was pent from Norwich to New York live two-gallon tin cans tilled with the oil of Mack birch, which was manufactured in Uozrah. It is worth $80 a gallon, and tho live tans contained l.VS pounds of oil, valued at Soo, or a little over $5 a pound, lllack birch trees do not yield oil as the maple tree runs sap. Thero is work in getting the tender twigs, and labor in the process of extracting the oil. One ton of twigs yields just three pounds of oil, and it took nearlj- liltv-tliree tons of twigs to yield the ten gallons. The oil is used in giving tho wmtergreen llavor to confections of all sorts.
