CONDITION OP RIVER TOWNS. Over 65,000 Needed by TTIlliamsport for Disinfection and Cleanlng-Up Purposes. Williamsport, June o. A large force is now at "work removing the filth and getting larcady to apply disinfectants. Mr. Bonhright, of Philadelphia, received word this jnorning that a car of bedding and underclothing is on the way. The Mayor of New York sent an inquiry as to the condition of the city, and the following reply was sent: 1o WaJtex Stanton, Chairman, Msyors Office. New Deer Sir You have our thanks for kindness. Fnpplies of clothln. provisions, etc., adequate to our wants for present necessities, have been received. We need, most of all, disinfectants. A car was promised us from Philadelphia on Monday, which has not yet been received. GardenLouses have been floated away, and the contents forced into cellars and houses. We have established a camp on the hills in the rear of tbe town, and have placed the people irom the poorer section alone the river in this, so that we can put that alstrict In proper hape. We have received in money contributions up to this time about $22,000, $12,000 of which has been contributed by our people from 'among tbe heaviest losers by the flood. Our lumber industry, which gives employment to most of our people, will be of little use so far as employment goes until next spring. In the meantime the families of these people will have to be fed to a large extent, which will take a largo sum of money. At the suggestion of Governor Beaver, we have put the people to .-work cleaning up the debris. We calculate that U will take tor this and needed sanitary expenses, $03,000 at least. James 8.

"WILL SELECT HIS OWN MEN

A Northern Senator Tries to Impose on a Newly-Elected Tennessee Member By Selecting Unheard-of Persons for Office in the Southerner's District, bat is Told that Carpet-Baggers Are Not Wanted. The Report That Minister Egan Had Been Recalled Denied by Walker Blaine. Attention A?ain Called to the Unsafe Condition of the Government Printing-office QuartersArmy Sentence Commuted. I3IPOSING ON THE 8 OUT IT. A Northern Senator Attempts to Introduce Carpet-Bagism In Tennessee. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 8. Some of the new Republican members of the House from the South are experiencing rather unique impositions from their Northern brethren in tho distribution of federal patronage. A Republican member from Tennessee, who is on his first term, is now in Washington, and relates an experience which has probably been duplicated by several of his colleagues. Just before he left his home city, which is one of the largest and most prosperous in Tennessee, he received a letter from a Republican Senator located in one of the central States West, saying that he would be glad if the member would recommend for appointment as superintendent of the public building in his (the member's) home town a Republican from the Senator's own homo city. "You will find him a first-class man," wrote the Senator, "for I know him thoroughly. He is my own personal friend, is a stanch Republican, and will perform his duties well." The member was amazed. The idea of asking the appointment of a superintendent from a Jorthern State for the federal building in his own town in the South was an evidence of the greatest possible hardihood, especially in view of the fact that the member uad recommended one of his own constituents, who was thoroughly capable and thoroughly deserving. 'It was the cheekiest exhibition I ever saw," said the member to your correspondent, "and it almost took my breath. But the worst was to come when I arrived in Washington. Two or three days after my arrival I received a number of telegrams from one of the principal cities in my district, asking if it was true that a certain man had been appointed postmasterat that city. I chuckled to myself about the hallucination I presumed some of the excited citizens were laboring under. The next day I received a large number of telegrams making the same inquiry. Then I began to grow serious, and went to the Postotlice Department. What was my amazement to learn, upon inquiry of Postmaster-general Wanamaker, that this man had really been appointed, and without the slightest intimation from me! I did not know who the citizen was. In all of my acquaintance in that city I had never heard of him. I asked the Postmaster-general to see the papers upon which this appointment had been made, and ho produced them. They consisted of two sheets of United States Senate letter-paper, and two pages of manuscript signed by the Senator who had attempted to dictate the appointment of tho superintendent of the public building in my own city from among his constituents in tho North! 1 was blindly mad, and the Postmaster-general quickly saw it. Fortunately the commission of the postmaster had not been mailed, although it was made out and signed. I told the Postmaster-general that the appointment must not be made, and the commission was promptly destroyed. 1 then named my own choice; and ho was quickly appointed. I shall not be surprised if I find there were more appointments made upon tho dictation of this Senator." It transpired that the postmaster whom the Senator had appointed was a relative, and that the Senator himself at one time was a resident of Tennessee.

Ppecial to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 8. A telegram from New York, published in papers in this vicinity this morning, announced in more or less positive language, according to the ideas of the writer, that Patrick Egan, of Nebraska, the newly appointed minister to Chili, had been recalled on account of the manner in which his name hasbcen handled during the Cronin investigation in Chicago. The paragraph caused more or less comment throughout the city, and there was an early rush to the White nouso and State Department to ascertain what truth there was in the story. At the White House information was to the effect that nothing whatever was known in the matter, and at the State Department Mr. v alker lUaine was outspoken in his dedenunciation of tho rumor. Mr. Blaine said tho story was absolutely unfounded; that the department had never had its official attention called to the connection of Egan's name with the Cronin case, and that tho department had never for a moment thought of recalling Mr. Egan. Mr. Hlaine added that as the new minister to Chili is only half way on his journey, it would bo absurd to send a cablegram to him in any event at the present time. TIIE P1UNTING OFFICE. An Unsafe Ttuilding In Which Many Persons Are in Danger of Their Lives. t?pcial to tho IntllanapoUs Journal Washington, Jnno a Very determined efforts will be made in Congress this winter to bring about the construction of a new building for the Government Printing Office. The inconvenience and loss of time aggregate more every year, together with the $.,000 paid for storage, than the interest on tho money for an entirely new establishment. The present building wasconstructed before the war, is four stories in height, about 850x200 feet on the ground, lias narrow windows, is dark and dingy, unhealtliful and unsafe. As auuounced by the dispatches a few days ago, tho buildiug is so shaky that orders have been issued forbidding tho removal of heavy packages from one part of the structure to another. The government has never built an entirely new structure for the Government Printing Office. It has been put together by piecemeal. Away back in the fifties the government printing was done by Cornelius Wendell, who put up the nucleus for tbe present Government Printing Ollice by getting together a lot of old material and constructing a building by sections. It was finally discovered that there was m much corruption in tho contracts for printing that the government bought the plant and appointed Johu D. Ih'free Public Printer. For som j'ears after tho government undertook to conduct its own printing, the congressional debates were published by a private concern in a paper known as "The Congressional Globe," which, in 1S73, was transferred to the Government Printing Otlice, and its nauio changed to "The Congressional Record." The government now undertakes to do all of its printing, except postage stamps, stamped envelopes and money-order blanks. The Government Printing Oftice is the largest printingestablishment in the world. It has over 2,500 regular employes. There are in the press-room, including the branches in the various departments. about a hundred urvssn, and iao men aud women nro employed in the press-room alone. In the bindery and folding-rooms there are over one thousand employes.

There are nearly seven hundred compositors and laborors in the composing-room.. All but the presses are on the three upper floors, and if these should give way the crash and loss of life would be beyond description. MINOR BLATTERS. Captain Arme'i Coart-Martial Sentence Commuted by the President. Washington, June 8. In the case of Capt. George A. Armes, U. 8. A., retired, sentenced by general court-martial to be dismissed from the service, the President has commuted the sentence, in consideration of the good service which this officer has rendered and of some mitigating circumstances connected with tbe offenses of which he was found guilty, to conllnement within such limits as the Secretary of War may prescribe, and to tho deprivation of the right to wear the uniform and Insignia of his rank in the army for a period 0f flVo years. The findings of the court show that it acquitted Captain Armes of the first itpcclncation which charted false prosecutiou of Captain Bourke, ot the Ihird Cavalry, but found him guilty of the remaining chargeaof prefermgmaliciou charges a if a ins t Colonel Oluson and Captain Bourke. with defamatory publications, and with assaulting Governor Beaver.

The Postmaster-general has ordered that the postoflices at Kokomo and Marion be placed on the list of second-class offices. The order takes effect July 1. Both of these offices are at present rated as third-class.

ITALY'S COSTLY DEFENSES

Her Share in the Triple lliance Grad: nail j Bankrupting the Kingdom. The Peasants About to Revolt Under Con tinned Excessive Taxation England's War in Thibet Likely to Be a Serious Affair. TOE TRIPLE ALLIANCE. It Is Proving a Bad Thing for Italy by Forcing Expenditures Beyond Her Means. Special to the IndlanaxxUs Journal. London, June 8. A well-informed dip1 ornate, who was in Berlin during the recent visit of the Italian King to ths German Emperor, says that one of the leading sub jects which were discussed by the two potentat.es was the unfortunate conditions to which Italy has been reduced ly that portion of the terms of the triple alliance which compels Italy to maintain her naval and military forces at a given level of eflicieucj'. Though Italy is the poorest of the great powers, she has to keep twelve army corps as compared with Austria's fifteen and Germany's eighteen. This would be quite a possible performance if it were all; hut Italy has a long and exposed coast to defend. The prime object of her policy is to prevent any alteration to her detriment in the status of the Mediterranean powers, and accordingly she has created and maintains an iron-clad lleet which ranks next to that of France. The navel and military expenditures of Italy have been a terrible drain on her resources. Tho various governments which have been swept away by the national movement during recent years left behind them in nearly all the provinces except Piedmont an agrarian, social and intellectual condition of the worst deecriptiou. The peasant of southern Italy is worse ofT than the peasant of Ireland or of Poland. Even in northern Italy the conditions are little better. The limit of taxation has been reached and the Parliament has declared that military expenditure can no further go. The endurance limit of the peasantry has been also reached, as is evidenced by their strike. King Humbert, since his return, has been urging an agrarian reform, but it is feared it will come too late to retrieve Italy from a terrible "economic crisis." W'hile the military emulation of Germany has produced a bad economical result, the political iniluenco has also been felt. In Italy, as in Germany, the patriots who worked and fought for unity were Liberals. JJut the military necessities of the country and the military policy of the dynasty have favored the growth of reaction. JSignor Crispi, who began life as a follower and friend of Garibaldi, is now the intimate of Bismarck. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. China Will Probably Take a Hand in Repelling British Aggressions in Thibet. Epecisl to tiie IniianaiKIl4 JotirnaL London, June 8. England is about to hegin active operations in what has heretofore been called the Little Thibetan war, aud which has been smoldering for several months. Indian officers now predict that it will turn out more serious than Lord Salisbury anticipates. They say that tho Chinese officials are highly incensed at the action of the British government in not granting concessions in the matter of restricting Chinese immigration to the Australian colonies, and that the Thibetans will receive such powerful aid from China that defeat to the British army ou the Burmese frontier is not 011I3' probable, hut that the overrunning of tho whole of Burmah by Dacoits is also within the possibilities of the result of an order issued to-day from tho Indian office. The order is for the whole force of the British troops in Sikten to advance on the 10th inst., across the Jelapla pass and rVifmiA vnllnv tin r 4fiA iirkT1 ore rr Thibet proper. In plain terms, this means an advance into Thibet. Ferry Again Denounced. Pams, Juno 8. The ALiaeussJon of the educa tional budget was continued in the Chamber of Deputies to-day, Count Albert de Man, of the Right, referring to ex-Prcmler Ferry's speech, of Thursday, in which ho said he desired to see peace between church and state, replied to the advances of AI. Ferry, and made a si'.vage at tack upon him. The Count's allusion to the exPremler as a man whose name alone caused the country to shed tears of blood, was received with frantic applause by tiie members of tho Right. "The country," continued the Count, "was tired of M. Jterry s intolerable dictator ship, which rendered Franco uninhabitable to half of lis people." M. Fallieres, Minister of Education, said he was confident that an appeal to tho country would justify tne government's policy. M. Clemenceau repudiated tho policy of M. Ferry. It was better, he said, to wage war with the church frankly, since it was chimerical to dream of reconciliation. The church must not be begged to tolerate, but must be compelled to oDey tne laws.

THE -SEATTLE FIRE. Reported Loss of Life Untrue The Heaviest Lowers with Their Insurance. Portland, Ore., Jnne 8. Later dispatches from Seattle fail to confirm previous reports of loss of life. The reports were circulated during the time tho flames were raging, and in the great excitement subsequent, that a largo number of persons had lost their lives by falling walls. Careful and diligent investigation thus far made 6how no lives lost. While the flames were raging a man was seen carrying fire-hrauds across the alley between Third and South Fourth streets. He was setting tire to a house that had escaped the flames. When a special policeman commenced shooting at him, to avoid the shots he darted into the house he had fired, and never came out alive. While the Occidental Hotel was burning, officer James Campbell saw a man trying to get into tho Pnget Sound National Bank by the back entrance.

The Herald's Balti more special says: In Catholic circles here, especially among the clergy, little importance is attached to the oft-repeated statement that Cardinal Gibbons would probably succeed Pope Leo XIII as the head of the church. The selection of an American prelate for this office, and par ticularly Cardinal Gibbons, would be hailed with joy by all Catholics and other reliffious denominations here. A leading clergy man remarked to-day: "There is no likeli hood of the next Pope beinc an American. If it were not for the temporal power for which Pope Leo is now strug gling, it would not matter from what sec tion of the world the head of the church came, but circumstances will compel tho caruinais 10 seieci some other tnan an American as tho successor of Pope Leo. Ihe feeling against foreigners is too in tense to admit even the consideration of any other country. So you can make tin your mind that only an Italian will be chosen, should uod in His wisdom remove Pope Leo. I am of the opinion that tho discussion of the subject is premature, in so much as it is tho belief that tho present Pontilt will be with us yet many years. Besides. I am sure Cardinal Gibbons has no aspirations in ine turecxion 01 ino Vatican, lie is naturally retiring and very modest, and would prefer to spend his days in the coun try be loves so well. He is au ardent Amer ican. I also think it impractical that ho would bo selected, for the reason that this country is still too young to deserve such distinction. We have but one cardinal, . . and tie was only recently created a prince 01 the church." Found Dead on the Levee. Special to tho Indlanaiolis Journal.
