Prominent Citizen of SL Louis Nearly KiUed in an Affair That Is Shrouded in Mystery. St. Louis, Oct 6. Capt D. P. Slattcry, president of the Merchants Elevator Company and a promment and wealthy citizen, lies at home, in tho fashionable quarters of the city, unconscious fiom a brutal beating received at on early hour this morning. His face is scarcely recognizable, and he lias an ugly hole in the back of his head, while hit pocket-book, containing about $40, a diamond ring and diamond stud, -valued at $1,500, and a valuable gold watch, re missing. A great deal of mystery surrounds the aflair. The assault was committed near tho southwest corner of Jefferson and Cass avenues, where EVIW. Klostennan runs a grocery store, with saloon attached. Ho resides, with Lis family, ou tho second floor of the building. Klosterman's story is that a few minutes after 1 o'clock this a. m. his wife was awakened by a noise in the hall-way leading to her room. She screamed and her iusband and his barkeeper, John Hickey, were attracted by the noise. They rushed up stairs, and found tho intruder in tho laudii g. Klostcrmau claims to have struck tho man, who afterward proved to be Capt. Klattery. with the palm of his hand. Alexander Hunt, aged tifty-ono, who was in the ealoon, camu out, went upstairs and told his friend Klostorman to turn tho man over to hiiu, which was done, and Hunt proceeded to beat Slattcry in a most brutal manner, finally throwing him down stairs. All this time the Captain had . not spoken, according to tho statements of Lis assailants. After striking tho pavement flattery was dragged about sixty leet by Hunt, who wuh striking the Captain repeatedly, in the face of protests of the crowd which gathered. Hunt ordered the crowd back with an oath, ami lifted his victim to his feet, standing him tip against a fence and again striking hira repeatedly. Tho Captain tried to speak, but could not, and by this time was a pitiable sight. It was at this juncture that persons in tho crowd claim they saw Hunt unsrrow Captain Slattery's $1,000 diamond stud from his necktie. John Meehan, a teantster, interfered, aud Hunt knocked him down. Klosterman and Hunt then dragged the insensible captain to tho third district Kub-htation. A physician pronounced the injuries dangerous, and Captain Slattery was removed to his home, where ho has lain unconscious all day. Hoveral arreits were made, but Hunt was tho only man held. During tho morning Captain Slattery's hat, cost, vest, and shoes were brought to tho station. They had been found near the scene of tho assault. His gold watch has also been recovered, but the diamonds are atill missing. Captain Slattcry recovered consciousness to-night, and when asked for a statement said that he was going over to Washington street to ftoe a man named Harris who was formerly in his employ, when ho was struck in the back of the 'head, Beyond that ho claims to know nothing.

Philadelphia, Oct G. Tho four members of tho executive committee of tho Clan-na-Gael who represent the Cronin faction, as opposed to tho Nationalist faction, have issued a call for a convention of all the camps throughout the country. The call is signed by Luke A. Dillon and O'Meagher Condon, of this city; James T. Corney, of New York, and Mortimer Scan lan, of Chicago. There are liino members of the executive committee, five of whom are Nationalists, and who, therefore, hayo the control. These rive have come out in a counter-circular forbidding the camps to send delegates to the proposed conven tion, as tne call, tlioy allege, is unauthorized and illegal. The purpose of the convention called by Dillou, Condon, Scanlan and Corney is said to be for the purpose of reorganizing the order. The circular calls for ono delegate from each camp, and blanks are inclosed for rilling in the name of tho delegate and alternate elected, which are to be forwarded, as well as other communications, to Kemper. Box M&, Philadelphia postofice.,, It is claimed that the name Kemper is not tho real name of any one connected with tho movement, but it is assumed. The circular goes on to say that upon receipt of these names credentials, pass-words and the time and place of holding the convention will be sent in retnrn. It is understood that this city has been decided upon, but it is not definitely known. Luke A. Dillon has been designated as the presiding oflicer. GRAZED BY RELIGION. A Young Girl's Desire to Escape from Sin Leads Her Into Strange Places. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct ft Miss Hattio Bartlett, a pretty and well-known young girl, living in West Pittston with her parents, was removed to tho State Asylum for tho Insane, at Danville, yesterday. She has become violently insane on the subject of religion. About a month ago Evangelist Yatman began revival meetings hero, and Miss Bartlett was among the Grsttobo con-' verted. Sinco that timelier desire has been to pet away from the wickedness of this world and nearer to heaven. In her insane endeavors to do this she would climb to the top of tall trees in the vicinitf of her home. On other occasions she walked miles in order to get into the attics of the tallest buildings. It was with great difficulty, after being found, that she could be induced to leave her supposed heavenly places of refuge. When her father and mother refused to follow her steps she termed them "devils' and would not associate with them, saying she was afraid sho would be contaminated by their influences.

Pa., Oct. ft The two-hundrcd-and-sixth anniversary of tho landing of the German pioneer settlers in Philadelphia, was celebrated this afternoon by a large meeting at the hall of the (iermau society, at Marshall and Spring Garden streets.

COXCLAYE OF SIR OIGIITS

Washington Puts on Her Prettiest Garb in Anticipation of the Great Event. Indiana Secures the Handsomest Headquarters in the City, Where Her Commanderies Will Royally Entertain All Comers. Baper Unfurls Her Victorious Banner and Starts on Her Eastern Journey. Names of Sir Knights Who Will Participate in the Exhibition Drill Commanderies from Other Sections of the State. HEADY FOR THE CONCLAVE, Washington Aglow with Hunting and KnightTemplar Insignia A Rest from Politics. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct. ft For one week now Washington will be given up to the Knights Templars. They have already taken possession of the -city. Their banners, buutiug and flags everywhere proclaim that politics have been relegated to the rear. With the impending, campaigns in New York, Ohio, Virginia and other States, few men from Congress will be here during tho week, and there wiirbo a practical suspension of operations of the machine which grinds out appointments in the executive departments and elsewhere, but there may be a Cabinet meeting, and routine work at tho White House will proceed. It is understood that for six days everything political will give way to the festivities of tho grand triennial conclave. It is refresing to have the city ull of people from every section of the country now and then, and nothing said of politics. Washington is essentially and naturally a political mart; politics is tho stock in trade for everybody, and upon it all deal and build their hopes, like wheat rnles at Dulnth, hogs at Omaha, cattle at Chicago, and cotton at Savannah. It is not often that the prime staple of the 250,000 inhabitants of the national capital is shelved for a whole week, and neutral subjects are discussed, or festivities aro allowed to take possession of the city. Washington never looked so handsome, with her tens and scores of tens of banners, flags and bunting, besides her miles of brightly colored insignia of the order, which prevails. There is a holiday atmosphere on every haud. People are generally taking a vacation. The decorations of the city aro prettier than on the occasion of a presidential inauguration. The sombre black, indicative of chivalric courage, and the pure white, emblematic of gentleness, commingle at every step with tho deep red cross, the sign of the crusade era. This is to be the greatest Knight Templar conclave ever held. The attendance promises large and the auspices and surroundings are more pleasant. The full dress of tho Knights never made men look so handsome as in Washiugton,whero there is a natural military atmosphere. Pennsylvanie avenue never appeared to such good advantage, and the parade, on Wednesday, will bo tbe most brilliant scene this creat thoroughfare ever piesent'ed if the weather j !i; . rri . ii - i i "..- is propitious, iiie aueuuauce ox ivnigius ana tueir Iriends is too creat to permit the use of names or much localization for States. Although every State has its headquarters, every one appears to be ''going it on his own hook," and it is almost impossible to And man or woman'. Tho programme for the week is as follows: Monday Reception of vtiitlng commanderies. Tuesday Grand parade. Kscort of prand encampment to Masonic Temple. Excursion on Potomac. Wednesday Exhibition and competitive diilL Excurs'on to Mount Vernon. Jiceeptlon by President Harrison, 8 to 11 r. m. 'Thursday Visits to public nuildincs and inonnment. Grand barbecue, ltally at Mrs. Logan's in the evening. FridayVisits to publio bulldincs. Excursion to Mount Vernon. Banquet at Wilterd's Hotel. Saturday Closing ceremonies at encampment. How the Indlanlans Are Quart ed Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Oct. ft At 6 o'clock this evening Harry Adams, past grand commander of the State of Indiana; Harry Lancaster, deputy grand commander, of Lafayette; Duncan T. Bacon, grand comman. der, of Indianapolis; Joseph A. Manning, deputy captain general, of Michigan City; Edward Gilbert, past eminent commander, of Terre Haute, and Mrs. Bacon and Mrs. Lancaster were found by tho Journal correspondent making an inspection tonr of the Indiana headquarters for the Knights Templars during the coming week. Tho Indiana people have been unusually successful in secuiing commodious and attractive quarters and having them fitted in a most elegant manner. They have the magnificent new building owned and occupied by theNational Rifles, on G street, near Ninth. There is a large drill, smoking and accoutrement room on tbe first floor, and a kitchen below, while on the second floor an immense reception and ball room, with private parlnrs, which have been beautifully carpeted and furnished especially for their occupation. All this magnificent building and furnishings have been turned over to the Indianians. The decorations are charming. In the center of the ball-room and immediately in front of tho stage, a tent, twelve by fourteen feet, has been erected, and about it, heaped up in banks, are potted plants, and palms, and ferns. The walls are covered with the insignia of the order. Grand Commander Bacon and Past Grand Comma'.jder Adams, with the others named, were discussing tho arrangements which have been perfected for the splendid spreads which aro to bo given the visitors at Indiana headquarters during the week. The services of Crogan, the well-known Washington caterer, have been secured, and every day at noon a bountiful luncheon will'be served, and continued till 0 o'clock in the evening, when a reception and grand promenade will be given. Raper Commanderv has secured the United States Naval Academy Band, from Annapolis, Md., and this will furnish music during the day and for the parades and serenades, and at night for tho receptions and balls to be given at Indiana headquarters. This is one of the noted bands in this section of the conntry. Tho Indiana headquarters, besides making an nuusuallv attractive appearance, will bo one ot the most sociable places to be found in Washington this weeek. The visitors will not be confined to Knights Templars and their ladies, by any means, nor to Iloosiers, but to every one who wishes to have a good time and pay tho Indiana Knights respects. Tho commanderies which have arrived from Indiana, at 8 o'clock to-nicht, are: The Elkhart, St. John's, of Logansport, the Terre Haute and Shelby ville. Commanderies from Crawfordsville, Fort Wavne and Frankfort are expected to arrive later tonight, whilo Raper Commandery is due at 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon, and MichiCity, Columbus and Valparaiso are expected during the day to-morrow. Never were so inanv ladies seen at a triennial conclave as this one. Thirty-five Knights from Terro Haute brought with them twenty-nine ladies. Tho preponderance of the fair sex is in proportion from other sections of tho country. Indiana commanderies are taken to their headquarters behiud a Washington commandery, aud headed by a local band in every instance. Past Grand Commander Adams said to-nicht that he had never seen such uniformly courteous treatment as here; that not only irero tho

Indiana's Famous Commandery leaves for the Conclave at Washington. Yesterday afternoon the black and white gonfalon that has led Raper Commandery, Knights Templars, to so many victories.was brought out, and as tho honored standard fluttered in the still October breeze the Sir Knights, under command of Col. N. R. Ruckle, formed behind it and marched to the Union Station. There was no music, but the feet of the Knights struck tho pavement in perfect cadence as they moved off, after quite a littlehand-shakiug with home-staying members of the order who had come to bid them good-bye. Of tho Knights who went away txventy-five are Republicans and eight are Democrats, but it is understood that all have paired, so that their departure will not arTect the result of to-morrow's election. The following are the members of the commandery who have gone away. Grand Commander Duncan Bacon and Henry C. Adams having preceded their brother Knights to Washington: N.'R. Buckle. Byron K. Elliott, W. II. bmvtbe. Albert Gall. Christian Brink-, Henry C. Bmither, RL. DePuy. Willis C. Vajcn, W. J. McKee, John Knight, . James W. Dryer, Charles Kregelo, Joseph V.

Ewan, Major Taylor, Julius Walk:, Win. Schoppenhorst, P. Q. C. Hunt, A. R. White, George A. Woodford, C A. Zollinger. Sam McClure. the colored man who went with the Commandery to San Francisco, goes to the Washington conclave, and is the ion by tho Michigan City and South Beud Knights, and proceed eastward by the Chesapeake & Ohio. There are a good many ladies on tho train, and the party moved off in high spirits. The Union Station presented quite a military aspect about the time given, as Knights debarked from arriving trains to walk about for a few minutes before proceeding on their journey. The Lafayette Commandery attracted considerable attention. There were forty-four in the party; thirty Knights and fourteen ladies, and the badges worn showed a log-cabin which seemed to bo a reminiscence of the late presidential campaign. It had, however, no such political significance, but typified the fact that the commandery came from Tippecanoe. These, together with the Franklin Commandery, weut east by the Panhandle. There were about thirty in the Franklin party, many of the Knights taking their wives with them. The following is a list of the Franklin Knights: Luther Short, R. C. Wood, J. M. Thompson, Samuel Harris, D. H. Miller, G. C. Stuart, Jonathan Stewart, Alex Turner, D. D. Waldron, John llite.lt S.Thompson, J. M. Story, Sam B. Eccles. F. H. Cunning, II. L. McClelland, C. H. Frame, Gideon Johnson, James M. Jacobs. The Columbus Commandery passed through yesterday morning at 3 o clock. 9300 for a Hole in the Ground. Summer villi?, Ga., Oct ft Edward Boilings, living on a farm near here, has been swindled out of by two clever mulatto confidence men. The latter came here two weeks ago and claimed to be looking for buried treasure. They said they were Creeks from the Indian Territory. One of them had a chart, witn the snot where the . p'l 'ivl treasure was buried nlainlv marked. and this spot proved to boonltollings's farm. The swindlers produced musty documents to prove that three thousand dollars' worth of silver in bars was buried there six feet tinder ground. They professed to believe the State would not let them keep tho treasure, and olteretl to sell the claim for $.'J00. Boilings gave them that sum, and as they disappeared he began digging. The deluded farmer, after sinking a hole twenty feet deep, has just come to the conclusion that ho has been victimized. Congregationalists and the Race Issue. Boston', Oct. ft Next Wednesday the National Council of the Congregational churches of the country will begin its triennial session in Worcester. One of the most important questions to come before it involves the race issue. The Goorgia Congregational Association, which has been recognized as the Congregational body of Georgia, is composed of fifteen small colored churches. The Congregational Methodist Conference of Georgia, an older body than the former, and composed of white churches, has applied for recognition, and its delegates will 6eek admission to the council. Tho delicate question for the council todecide is whether it shall recognize two bodies of Congregational churches in one State, when the only reason for doing so is that they are compoeed of people of different races. , s Married His Step-Sister. New York, Oct. ft Since two years ago Mr. J. Dyneley Prince and Miss Adeline Loomis have been called brother and sister by all the friends of tho family. It was then that Miss Loomis's father, l)r. Alfred Loomis, and Mr. Pviuce'smother, Mrs. John D. Prince, widow of a Wall-street broker, were married. Young Prince did not live with them, though he was a frequent caller until his studies in the Eastern languages took him to Europe. When, on his return, a few months ago, he announced his engagement to Miss Loomis, it created as much surprise in his own family as anywhere else. The ceremony took place at noon yesterday, in the Church of tne Holy Communion. The Rev. Henry Motlet, rector of the society of which both the contracting parties are members, performed the ceremony. Cotton-Ragging Wedding Suits. Raleigh, N. C, Oct ft The Farmers Alliance is jubilant over its triumph over the Jute Trust, and as a fitting celebration of that important event, it has been arranged that 31 r. A. M. Bateman, of Washington, N. C, and the young lady to whom he is engaged, shall beuiarned on Tuesday, tho 15th of this month, in the grand-stand of the North Carolitiailft.r icultural Society in tho presence of the multitude who will be in attendance at the State fair on that day. Tho costumes to be worn by bride and groom will be made of cotton bagging, which is now known as the "Alliance uniform." The secretary of the alliance has issued a card to this effect People from all over the State intend presenting the married couple with all kinds of presents. Has a Penchant for Stealing. Topeka, Kan., Oct. ft Miss Carrie Hill, a young woman, eighteen years old, whose family are highly respectable, is under arrest for wholesale stealing. Four weeks ago she got a clerkship in llallman & Co. 'a millinery and fancy goods store, and since then she has not only robbed them repeatedly, but has carried away with her three wagon-loads of goods, wortlr $2,000 which were found in her rrom, and identified by the firm. A year ago she clerked a week or two for Beruheimer Lewis, and in the search yesterday several hundred dollars' worth of goods that sho had taken from them were found. A HlliuL Boy's Fatal Throw. Brooklyn. N. Y., Oct. ft Frank Gross and Julius Duerr, brothers-in-law, living at 140 Throop avenue, came to blows today, during a family quarrel. Frank Gross, ; r.. aged sixteen, a blind boy, who was iome on a visit trom a New ork asylum, jecame excited, and, picking up a plate, ! inrled it in the direction of the noise. The plate struck Duerr, fracturing his skull. Death will probably result. The blind boy was taken by his father back to the iustituion, and Duerr was sent to a hospital. - Twenty Thousand Negroes Vf ill Go to Kansas. St. Louis, Oct. ft An immigration society which has been recently established in Topeka, Kan., in connection with tho

most necessary part of the outht Ihe Commandery left by the Big Four, at 3 o'clock. At Cincinnati they will be joined

late exodus of negroes to Oklahoma, has received letters from Tennessee. CJeorgia, Alabama, Louisiana and the Carolinas, stating that there will be 20,000 negro emigrants from those States as soon as they can gather their crops and get ready to leave. PAN-AMEE10AN DELEGATES. The Visitors Spend a Day in Visiting? Notable rlace3 in and About Boston. Boston-, Oct ft The delegates to the International American Congress, after a conifoflable night's rest and a hearty breakfast, were ready for another day of sightseeing. Carriages bearing the party left the hotel just in season to give the churchgoing folks of Boston an opportunity to see their distinguished visitors as they w'ero

driven through the city and down to the docks. The party was there met by the Mayor and a committee of the board of Aldermen and escorted aboard a steamboat, which landed them at Deer island, where are located the correctional institutions of the city. The first place visited was the House of Correction, -where the cells were inspected and the prisoners seen in confinement In the chapel of the Reform School a pretty Ceremonial took place. The visitors were seated,' and about 200 of the boys, all uniformed in blue and wearing white gloves, marched in with military precision and greatly entertained the visitors with sinning ami other exercises, while a band filled in the intervals with music. At the close of the exercises luncheon was served in the dining-room. When tho coflee was reached brief remarks were made by several of the delegates and officials. Mayor Hart welcomed the party and Dr. Silva, of Venezula, and Scnor Calderon, of Colombia responded. Senor Velarde, of Bolivia, followed. He said he was glad that his government had accepted the invitation of the United States to take part in the congress, and was pleased that he had been chosen to represent it In his judgment the congress would be the starting point of a great movement which would take an important place in the history of the American contiuent. His people were well disposed toward tho people of the United States, and every advance which had for its object the establishment of closer relations would meet with a prompt and hearty response, Scnor Zelayea, tho delegate from Honduras, said he would give the American people one piece of advice, which was that as the people of Central America had sent their representatives here to witness the great ness of tho united States, so should the people of the United States inform themselves about their Southern neighbors. They would find a people as good hearted as themselves: not so far advanced industrially, but with a country so abounding in natural wealth and resourcesas to justify an examination which would surely lead to a broadening of the relations between the peoples of the North and South. Mr. Henderson and Mr. Davis, of. the United States delegation, responded, the former in a witty vein. The latter spoke of the necessity for the cultivation of closer trad a relations, and to this end dwelt on tho importauce of the construction of a railroad which would actually cross the isthmus and connect the two continents in so strong an embrace that there would be no opportunity for intervention by European countries. When the speeches were concluded the party returned to Boston. In the afternoon a procession of landaus stretching half a mile in length, carried the excursionists out of Boston to and about Cambridge and past all the buildings of Harvard University. Such a wide settlement of educational buildings not a little impressed the foreign minds in the party. One of the foreigners, observing the tidy and homelike appearauco of the dwellings of low as well as of high degree, expressed the thought that, though wealth was a means of Piocuring pleasing rcsulis, only the snint of refinement. Laving its growth in such educational systems, would produce, such delightful as well as comfortaolo environments as were seen on very hand during the drive of this afternoon. The drive was out through the clustered villages that constitute Boston's suburb past Longfellow's home, with the Brookline district as the objective point The great elm under which Washington assumed command of the American army on July 3, 1775, was au object of .interest not alone to the foreigners. Its great limbs are growing weak with age, its foliage is feeble and wherever there is a break in a limb or tho trunk tho Bostonians have sealed the ends and gaps to protect them from the weather. At dusk the party alighted at the home of Mr. John L. Gardner, a director of the Chicago, Burlington & Cjumcy Railroad Company. The house within was elegant yet cozy, brightly lighted, and of hospitable dimensions. The design of the call was that those of tho party from abroad might see a typical American home of the class to which Mr. Gardner's residence belongs. Mr. and Mrs. Gardner received the party, which was soon distributed about the rooms enjoying, while inspecting. The focal point was in the breakfast room, whence, through broad -windows, were seen exquisite vistas of noble elms, soft lawns aud rare shrubs. A table was set, and at one end presided Miss Richardsou, the daughter of an eminent Boston architect, a line typo of American womanhood, and at the other Miss Gardner, a niece of the host. From tho hands of each of these ladies, tho foreign gentlemen, each of whom was presented, were served with tea and coffee. The retnrn to the city through Brookline closed the routine entertainment, and during the evening members of the party, upon iuvitation, visited Boston clubs. To-night the party sleep in hotel beds, the last time until Oct. 13. Their homes will be upon the special train which they will board to-morrow night after attending the theater. m sw FOUR LIVES LOST IN A FIRE.

DETERMINED TO FILIBUSTER

Revolutionary Utterances of Congressman Mills, of Frefr-Trado Fame. The Democratic Minority Proposes to Tate Charge of the House and Dictate What Kind cf Legislation Shall Bo Enacted. IIow tho Baltimore Fostoffice, Under Cleveland, Was Prostituted to Politics, A Defiant and Ttter Disregard of the CivilService Law That Moves the Commissioner. to Ask for the Postmaster's Removal. TOE MINORITY WILL RIXE. So Says Roper Q. Mills, of Texas Filibusters Will Control the House. fpAclsl to the IiHll&uAixtlis journal. Washington, Oct 6. Hon. Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, is in the city. This is tho first time Mr. Mills has been here sinco the adjournment of Congress. He is looking well and claims to be cheerful." While Mr. Mills will not be the leader on the Democratic side during tho coming session, the ex-chairman of the ways and means committee will surely be heard from. In conversation to-day Mills said that though the Democrats were in the minority the Democrats were fully conscious of their power, and would uso it ."We don't propose," said he, "that tho Republican majority will pass a single measure without our consent For instance, yon may depend upon it that the rules of the House will not be changed by the Republican majority in any essential feature. We do not propose to permit them to bo changed, as is desired by Mr. Reed and others, in any particular feature; nor will we permit any of the proposed legislation looking to a control by Congress of tho election, for we see very plainly what the purpose of that is. The same can be said of the contest cases that will come up be fore Congress. We do not propose to let the Republican majority to bo lurther increased ad libitum by throwing out Democratic members, as seems to be the purpose. In other words, we propose to exercise control of the House iust as much as though we were still in the majority, because we know onrminonty is strong enough to uiako us the virtual rulers." 1IOUKCED TIII2 REPUBLICANS. How the Baltimore rostofflce Was Prosti tuted in the Interests of the Hlgglns Gang. Washington. Oct 5. Theodore Roose velt, of tho Civil-service Commission, has submitted to the full commission a report of a short examination, made by himself. two months ago, into the management of the Baltimore, Md., poitofiice, in so far as it is atiected by tho civil-service law. The report says: Tnii-ini? the last. fYjur vcars. thero have been two heads of th3 Baltimore postollice; TUi Vuosif re Vi r nhnnt. n. vijir. and was then allowed to resign, and his successor, the pre-ut incumbent. Mr. Frank Brown. Mr. tasy was one ot tnose nroducts of the nr.trouaire system whoso antics would be con'.c vf ire it not for their , deeply tragic eflect upon te public service and upon honest rolititjaJ lite. nd great allowance should h fuf.di for Mr. Brov:n because of tho couditict in which tho ottico was handed or - t ! hp 'iy his predecessor; for all the evident. t ! to show that Mr. Vesnv's adminisil aho ots onlv be char acterized as 6caidalojbi. K '.veins likely that he has habitunlly and t;rolv violated tho law both as tc np: oiutim nTs and removals; he certamb'. irtng his year of office, turned out iour-ijtlbs of the old em- ........ i ployes aud failed places witn men. many oi tnem ot sucnevu character as to greatly demoralize tho service. "According to tbe report of Chief Inspector K. G. Rathbone. of which Mr. Brown admits the Mibstantial accuracy, m a total of o67 cariieni p.nd clerks, composing tho classified service of the Baltimore postoffice, there are vovr left but eleven Mr. Brown says thirteen who were in tne public emnlov four vears aco. About a hun dred additional places have been created. however, during this period, on account of the growth of Uueiness. Therefore, of the original force of the office, about IKJ per cent has been changed during the last four vears. Most of these changes were due to Mr. Brown's predecessor, Mr. Veasy. Mr. Brown states that when he took the othce he found 103 of the old employes still remaining. Of this number, therefore, which had survived tho ordeal otMr. Veasy's rule. Mr. Brown himself removed b8 per cent- fco demoralized was the othce that he was li kewiso forced to dismiss over half of Mr. Veasy's appointees.. Even more extraordinary is the fact that he was obliged to dismiss more than one-ufth of his own. "One result of this system is shown by the seeming almost universal payment of camnaicn assessments at election time. Almost all the clerks who were questioned admitted that they had 'voluntarily7 paid last fall for camoaien nnrnot?es eums vary ing from 30 to 40 per cent, of their salaries. Mr. Brown states that an tne removals lie has made were 'for cause, and all cases to promote the ofiicieucy of the service;' and denies that be was influenced by political considerations. Twenty-live of his discharged employes wrote him recently, however, stating that when they were removed they supposed it was simply for political reasons, and acquiesced without complaint; but Mr. Brown having publicly stated that removals were made for cause, they feel it due to their good name to demand the particular charges on which they were severally dismissed. Mr. Brown says it would now be impossible for him to furnish such particulars. Whatever may bo said in favor of notmakingcharges against a dismissed man so as to spare him the additional hardship of injuring his character and preventing his getting employment elsewhere, it seems a cruel wrong to assert that a man has been dismissed for ample cause, and yet to decline to let him know what the cause is. "In view of the condition of tho office when passed over to Mr. Brown, and in view, also, of tho absence hitherto of any settled policy in the matter of removals, I am unwilling to make any recommendation in this case; but 1 am prepared to recommend what I deem the proper course of action for tbe future in all such cases. If in the classified service an appointing officer has made a 'clean sweep,' iu an office. as where vO-odd per cent, ot tho old employes have been dismissed, or if he has removed (or is. removing) a very large per centage of theemployes whether bO per cent or less number, but at any rate one so lame as to raise tbe presumption that tho removals have been for political reasons and if he can give no adequate and satis factory reasons therefor, then he should be deemed to have violated tne civii-semce law, and should be himself dismissed, or his resignation requested." This lerort has been forwarded to the Postmaster-general by the full commission, who append their approval, and suggest that the recommendations contained therein be adopted. 3IINOR MATTERS.
