VOL. VIII. MORE MILITIA MOVING The Governor of Illinois Orders Seven Ad ditional Companies to East ; St. Louis. Evidence Before the Coroner's Jury Places tbe Blame for the Shooting on the Deputies. The Largest Labor Meeting: Ever Held In Chicago I'avorn the llijjht lluur .Movement. Uesolutlons Denouncing: Gould's Course Adopted--A Little Side- Show by the Socialists. More Troops Ordered Out. East St. Lotus, ill.. April 10.— adjutant general to-night, by direction of the governor, ordered seven additional companies of the Fifth and Sixth regiments to report there at once. This is not owing to tear of an open conflict with the riotous element, but simply as a precaution to in sure the guarding of the railroad and other valuable property. The city has very few policemen and very limited facilities for subduing fires. The railroad yards and grain warehouses extend for a distance of fully six miles along the east bank of the Mississippi river, and the difficulty which is presented of guarding property scattered over such an extent of territory, re quires necessarily a very large body of men. The arrival of the additional force will make seventeen companies of infantry in addition to the gatling ran detachment. Gen. Reese, commanding 5 the Second brigade, assumed command of the force to-night under orders from the governor. A few small clusters of men have been seen on the streets and in the vicinity of the railroad crossings, but thus far they have preserved an utter silence. ami have displayed no desire to promote a conflict. The taunting and the cat-calls to which the deputy sheriffs were subjected have ceased. The troops have conducted themselves very quietly. The companies ordered to the scene are from Robinson. Newton, Edwardsvllle, Petersburg. Jacksonville, Arcola and Marion. Mot withstanding the ASSURANCE OF ORDER given by the presence of the troops, there has been no resumption of work by the employes of the Bridge company and the teamsters of the Transfer company, upon whom the companies are entirely dependent for the transfer of freight to the Missouri side of the river. The officials of the Bridge company are performing the work in the yards, but the force is insufficient for the purpose. All freight which is not billed through in bulk has to be taken over the bridge by the transfer wagons, and in con sequence of their failure to report for duty a great deal of freight remains here in the yards. The railroad officers are con fident, however, that when their personal protection is assured the majority of them will return io work. This, they de clare, can only occur after considerable de lay, and owing to the peculiar helplessness of the city to exercise its police power, it would seem evident thai the troops are des tined to remain on duty for an indefinite period. At Lip, in. reports from every portion of the city showed that absolute quiet had prevailed up to that hour. The business streets are deserted and no arrests have occurred of trespassers upon the rail road property. The night is stormy, rain having set in about 9 o'clock and is still falling steadily. THK DEPUTIES STILL IN* JAIL. T. G. Hewlett, Charles Kinsler, A. M. Luster, Sam Jones, John Hague. W. J. Land, Stewart Martin, George W. Bennett and J. T. Williams, the deputy sheriffs who surrendered themselves to the St Louis police after doing the shooting at the Louisville & Nashville crossing on the East side yesterday, are still locked up at the four courts. This morning Chief Harrigan of St. Louis was notified by Mayor Joyce to hold them as fugitives from justice till requisition papers could be secured for them. They will be held. Mr. Hewlett, who is special agent for the Louisville & Nashville railroad, as well as being tempo rarily a deputy sheriff, has made a state ment explaining the shooting of yesterday. This is corroborated by the other sheriffs, and is in substance as follows: Thursday the strikers captured one of our deputies and held him about an hour and a half, They let him fro and told him they in tended to visit us ajniiti und do us up. About 10 o'clock a man who recognized me as an Odd Fellow came and told me to look out for serious trouble. 1 immediately told Mr. J. T.Harrahan, general uum:i;rcr of this division, and he said he had also been notified to look out for trouble. I then wrote two letters to Adjt. Gen. Vance, explaining' the situation to him, and sent them to him a little before 12 o'clock. While writing the letters I was summoned to keep the strikers from COMING INTO OUR YARDS at the east end. I went up there with Gen eral Manager Harrahaa. There were about 300 men collected around when wo got there. Sheriff Ropiequet was present and tried to disperse the crowd, but they would not listen to him. They jeered at him, calling him all sorts of names. Set-in? he could not disperse the crowd, the sheriff went away. Then I commenced talking 1 to the crowd. I said: "For God's sake, men, get away and save trouble. Look at the thing 1 rationally. You heard the sheriff read the law to you, and you would not leave," I then read the law to some twenty or thirty men who were nearest me. When I stopped reading some one 111 the crowd said, referring tome, "This man is right." Others said, "Hay no atten tion to him. We don't care a damn for the law. He is a scab." All that 1 said had no effect upon the crowd. While some of my men were at dinner Mr. Sample came to me and said, "Hewlitt, hurry and get some men to help bring In our coal train. There are 500 strikers at the crossing. This was about 1:30 o'clock. Mr. Sample came to me again In a few minutes and said, "Come on; we have not got time to eat now. They have halted our train at the Broadway crossing." We had six or 3even deputies at the crossing to pro tect the train and I started with about twelve other deputies to re-ln force them. The crowd when we got there was MASSED ON THE BRIDGE over Cahokia creek, and ou the east side of our tracks around the Green Tree house and about the Illinois & St. Louis passenger plat to; m. There was a great deal of yelling from the crowd. They jeered at us and called us everything they could think of. This thing lasted quite a while until the general manager induced the engineer to run the train through the crowd with a rush. While we were waiting there at the crossing to protect the fireman and engineer a striker ■aid to a deputy: "You will never get out of these yards alive." I said, "I will arrest that man. It is my sworn duty to do it." I took hold of him and he resisted. He swore- he would not be arrested and attempted to Jerk away from mo, but I held on to him. The mob then closed in on me, but with tbe assistance of one of my deputies we forced the man out of the crowd. I turned around to the crowd then and Bald: "For God's sake, men, disperse while I am carry ing out the law. Don't persist." Just about that moment I heard a pistol shot to my rear. It sounded like the report from a small pistol and quick as a flash I saw a stone coming at my head. I dodged and it struck me on the shoulder. I judge the first shot came from the rear windows of the barroom on the west Bide of the creek. My deputy, Kinsler, says It came from there. After the FIRST SHOT WAS FIRED the shooting became general. We were be tween two flres, and I then noticed shots com. ing from the rear barroom windows. Shots were tired at us rom the east side of the track, from a little house or from coal cars on the Indianapolis & St. Louis tracks. The crowd then started west along the dyke to cut us off by a cross street frcm our depot. I saw this movement, and started with my deputies across our trestle on a run for the depot, and got there in advance of the crowd. We halted at the depot, and the freight men came and begged for protection, saying that the strikers would murder every one of them. I told them to go to the bridge and we would protect them. He then described the scene on the bridge and the arrival of the deputies in this city, as previously reported. The body of T. £. Thompson, who was shot by the East v — -^^"s — * St. Louis deputy sheriffs yesterday after noon on the bridge, and died last evening at 7:35 at the hospital, was taken to the morgue to-day. Dr. Dean, In his statement to the coroner, says that he asked Thompson to make a statement of the occurrence so that it could be used in case of his death, but the wounded man would not make any. This afternoon 11. K. Stone, general mana ger of the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy road, called at the morgue and identified the body as that of a ringleader in the strike across the river, lie said: Ir< 0 in/c linn us the man I stopped in our yards lost Wednesday leading a gang of 200 strikers. FRIDAY'S CASUALTIES. Eight persons are known to have been killed in yesterday's riot. Andrew Jones, a Knight of Labor, not before reported. was shot, ami will die. The total number of cars burned at the several yards was tifty-two, representing a total loss of about 532.000. Four distinct tires were In pro gress at the same time, and the firemen were greatly hindered by the cutting of hose by unknown persons, supposed to be strikers or sympathizers. Many companies of Illinois militia have arrived and others are expected. Shortly after 12 o'clock a strker named Alexander Sweeny, was challenged by a sentry named Kent, a private in Com pany C, Fifth infantry. To an injunction to "move on," ho drew a revolver and remarking "You are too pretty to shoot." started to walk away, but turning abruptly fired at Kent. The latter simply knocked the revolver aside and took the man in charge, lie was placed among the others arrested. The affair created no especial excitement, although the shot was tired di rectly in the line of the troops and civil ians about the depot. Several ot the strikers Known as leaders were arrested and placed under an armed guard at the relay depot. Messrs. Bailey and Hayes of the general executive committee of the Knights Of Labor tried, without success, to get Adjt. Gen. Vance to release the strik ers. THE INQUEST. The inquest on the bodies of the people killed yesterday afternoon by deputy sher iffs, in the yards Of the Louisville & Nash ville railroad in Boat St. Louis, began at •2: % 20 this afternoon. The first witness was Joseph II itchell, formerly in the em ploy of the Ohio £ Mississippi road. He said that he was on the Broadway crossing at the time the shooting began; saw about ten deputies on the Louisville & Nashville trestle; saw no stones thrown, but heard the crowd call the deputies names and laugh at them. A little man who appeared to be the leader told the crowd to disperse mid then a minute after tired into them and a man standing near a telegraph pole fell. The crowd then turned and ran and all the deputies tired into them. Robert McGanahan, a locomo tive engineer, said he was standing on the bridge when the deputies came on the trestle. The man who filed the first shot was named Hewitt, 1 think. When they reached the trestle he shouted out, "Get off that crossing, every one of you. Get now or we will kill half a dozen of you." The crowd yelled at this, and the man who had been talking came out and said: "I am a deputy sheriff, and want you all to dis perse." Then Officers Dalton and Mahoney stepped in front of the crowd, holding up their hands as if to warn the,deputles not to shoot, when this little leader tired right into the crowd. AN'OTIIEK OJimi --• James McKellogg, an engineer, said: I was on the spot for say half an hour De fore the sbODting; saw the coal train pull out. After that about ten deputies gath red on the trestle and the crowd yelled Scabs' and ■Huts.' Then a little man, who seemed to be the leader of the deputies, stepped out and yelled, 'Get off of that crossing* every one of you. lam deputy marshal,' and be showed a star. He put his guv to bis shoulder twice, and the last time pointed at Officer Mahoney's breast. He then pointed the gun at another man and fired, and the roan fell. The* fireman, the man they called the 'cowboy' then came up at this time with bis gun pointed at tbe crowd, who yelled, and the lit tle man again said: "I am a deputy marshal and I want you to disperse." He then almost instantly fired bis gun and killed tbe man standing near the telegraph pole. The cow boy fired second, then gave his gun to some body else, and pulling two revolvers tired in discriminately into tins crowd ou the bridge, and when the people left the bridge he turned his revolver towards the Green Tree tavern, and Mrs. Pfcllcr fell at his tirstjare. Four or live other witnesses were exam ined, but their testimony was of the same general tenor as the above. All agreed that Hewlett tired the first shot and most of them said that no stones were thrown and that there was no provocation for the shoot ins: other than the yelling and jeering of the crowd. The inquest will be continued on Monday. Arbitration M life t lit is n. S< -ijaxtox, Pa., April 10. — Grand Mas ter Workman Powderly this morning stated that the rumor that he was preparing a statement to the public or the Knights re garding the Southwestern troubles was without foundation. Said he: The general executive board has done everything possible for a settlement of the difficulties, and the responsibility for what follows rests entirely upon others, and mat ters will have to take their owu course un less arbitration is consented to. If this is done, then there will be no difficulty in bringing this strike to a speedy close. This is the only point where trouble exists, and I believe that the country will never again see so iormiduble a strike, as employers and em ployes have learned the easiest way of set tliug disputes by arbitration— corner stone of the Knights of Labor. While Mr. Powderly lias improved in health, he is by no means a well man. Desultory Shooting-. ° Palestine, Tex., April 10. — On Thurs day night a large force of well-armed guards was stationed in the shops and yards, who regularly patrolled the premises. Sev eral gangs of men congregated in the woods west of the shop and fired several shots at the deputies on guard near the coal bins, but made no general attack. A negro was found in the yard, near the blind switch. who refused to halt at the command of the guard, but he was brought to by a blow on the head with a six-shooter. Coal ZTlincr* Strike. St. Louis. April 10.— The coal miners along the entire line of the Illinois A St. Louis, 400 in number, have gone out, In carrying out the purpose of the Knights of Labor in the fight in that direction. Section Men Quit Work. Kansas City, April Fifteen sec tion men on the Missouri Pacific above Wyandotte quit work to-day, presumably on account of the calls made by the strikers. The report comes from Argentine, across the Kaw river, that two Knights of Labor employed in the Atchison yards there were discharged to-day. The officials' explana tion of the discharge, it is said, was not satisfactory to the workmen and they threatened to strike. No action of that sort, however, had taken place up to a late hour to-night Would Indict Iron*. Fort Worth, Tex., April 10.— X. M. Lavin, district master workman of Assem bly 7S, Knights of Labor, who was under bail on a charge of murder, was leanest to-day on the charge of inciting a riot. When Mr. Powderly ordered the strike to be stopped, Martin Irons telegraphed to the strikers hereto "hold the fort." When affairs here grew more serious. Irons tele graphed, "Hold the fort at all hazards. The grand jury is investigating with a view of indicting Irons. THE EIGHT HOIK DAY Favored by tbo Largest Labor Meet ing: Ever Known in Chicago. Chicago, April 10.— Fully 8,000 •work logmen crowded into the great armory of of the Sixth cavalry on the lake front to night, and probably 4,000 more gathered in front of the building. The occasion had been advertised as an eight-hour demon ST. PAUL, SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 11, 1886. -TWENTY PAGES. stration under the auspices of the Trades assembly. A large proportion of the as semblage came in organized bodies, pre ceded by life and drum and carrying huge mm sparencies. Few of them wore any regalia and apparently do attempt at display was made except in point of numbers. Neither was there any thing resembling a procession. The various unions came trooping in all directions, and first come tirst served was the rule as to beats. Nevertheless excellent order was maintained, huts were promptly removed at the tirst tap of the chairman's gavel, and the two or three hundred of the men's wives and sweethearts, who occupied tiers of seats in a place of honor, were shown marked consideration by the ab.idoinent of pipes and cigars in their vicinity. A curi ous feature of the meeting was the notice able absence of youths, and aged men as well. The audience was almost wholly composed of men between 25 and 40. comfortable clad and tew if any showing a sign of liquor. There were not to exceed a dozen police to bo seen in or about the hall, Interest cen tered in the transparencies, and as union after union at irregular intervals marched into the hall and the crowd caught sight of THE MOTTOES the speakers' voices were lost In rounds of cheers that were renewed again and again. "Eight Hours and No Drones," "Work Eight Hours Only and Boom the Labor Market" and "Oppose Child Labor" were lair samples. Among the trades repre sented the most numerous were the carpen ters, plasterers, clothing cutters and cigar . makers, but a long list of others were not far behind in point of numbers. George A. Schilling acted as chairman. Hanged about him on the platform were the leaders of the local unions and men prominent in the labor movement. Anton, the latter sat Judge Richard Prendigast o the state bench. Alexander Sullivan als«. occupied a seat on the platform. The ad dress of the evening was delivered by Thomas C. Hill, who spoke of The Prog MM of the Eight-hour Movement; W. 11. Walter, on The Economic Bearing of tin Movement on Society. and L. EL Sawyer, on Its Material Advan tages to the Wage-worker. Tin crowds on the outside were held togethei by speeches from Richard Powers and se\ - oral other prominent Knights of Labor. Just as the overflow meeting was fullx under way a burly individual in a long OH and wearing a shabby slouch hat mounter a pile of lumber in front of a saloon on the outskirts of the crowd and began A SOCIALISTIC HAHAN<;I"F.. About the same time there emerged froir the hall in which the eight hour demon stration was being held, a tile of men bear ing ■ red flag, having on it an Inscription in German. This banner had been bonn into the hall while the meeting was in pro gress, and being of dingy hue and kep furled was not distinguished from the half dozen other flags, all of which were tli regulation stars and stripes. About 50. evidently earnest sympathizers drew dose to the Socialistic orator, who proved to b« an Anarchist named Sam Fielding. At hi feet sat his negro wife. On the oufc?kii of the gathering of Fielding's supporter? were an equal number of curi osity seekers, making his audi ence a round thousand. The first named class of listeners were easily discerned by their hearty approval of Fielding's sen timents, and the fact that their cries am! conversation were not in English. In quiries direct to the two men who bolt the red flag developed the fact that neithei of them could apeak the language in wind Fielding was addressing the crowd. lit was succeeded by A. K.

But few references were made by the speakers to the existing railway strikes, and then principally TO POINT A MOKAL in their arguments for the masses to or ganize till strikes should be made practic ally impossible, and steady work at reason able pay could be obtained by means such as a general adoption of the eight-hour sys tem. Though the strikes were practically left untouched by the speakers, an expres sion of the feeling of the multitude was civen in the following, which was adopted by acclamation amid the wildest enthu siasm: Resolved, That this mass meeting of citi zens of Chicago denounces the perfidy of Jay Gould in breaking Ills agremcent with the Knights of Labor to settle the causes of the present strike in the Southwest by arbitration. By his letter of Suodav, March 23, last, to T. V. Powderly, general master workman of the Knights of Labor. Gould stated in substance that the grievances ol tin men now on strike on the Southwestern rail road system would be submitted to arbitra tion. This letter was written to Powderly after two interviews on that Sunday at Gould's house and as part ot the aregement between Gould and the Knights of Labor. In accordance with the same agreement. General Master Workman Powderly telegraphed the men on strike to return to work at once. Gould the next day, by falsehood and double dealing, violated this agreement, and he did this plainly for the purpose of demoralizing tl>e Knights Of Labor. We. thererore, declare that tho con duct of Gould in this matter is base in the ex treme, and we call upon the public every where to familiarize themselves with the facts in the ease, and to Judge who is to blame for the continuance of the strike'— Gould, or the Knights of Labor. Some of the city papers estimate the gathering numbered between 15,000 and 20.000 men. It was prob ably the largest labor demonstration ever held in the city. Industrial Item*. The conductors and drivers of the Franklin avenue, Brooklyn, street car line struck yes terday morning against an obnoxious super intendent, and no cars were run on that line till late yesterday afternoon, when the men returned to work upon the announcement that the superintendent had resigned.

Looaxspout, Ind., April — Letters have been received in this city by several prominent persons. Informing the.ii an im mense sum of money was lying at Wash ington, to which they were heirs, It is stated that the fortune is a portion of the large sum paid over to the government as indemnity for French spoliation during the French and Indian war, which rightfully belongs to the estate of Colonel Ball, wlia was then in control of larce lines of shipping at Philadelphia, and many of whose ships were seized by the French. The amount of the claim and interest is es timated at 000, 090. The news has aroused much interest among the heirs here, some of our most prominent residents, including Mrs. Daniel Conrad, S. A. Cos ier. Mrs. Susan Krieder, Samuel Home, ■eorjje Home, Mrs. A. J. Sntton, Mrs. An drew Burnett, Samuel Conrad, Mrs. Mary Morehurt, L. B.

Home of Koches ter, Ind., and Adam W. Home of Oregon. As it is known that there can be no more than ONE HUNDRED HEIRS in all branches of the family, the fortune lulling to each will be considerable, averag •ng nearly $50,000. The information just received revives all the legends of the fam ily concerning its genealogy. From inter i iews with the most interested heirs the entire story of the family, its origin and tune was learned. It has long been a tradition of the Caster family living here that one of its ancestors. Col* Ball, was a iiiarvelously rich shipping merchant in Philadelphia over 125 years ago. A daugh ter ol this Croesus of colonial limes was married to an English gentleman in those early days. The .evolutionary war and the progress of civil nation carried this branch of the family •vest ward through successive generations. Although the genealogy of the branch of .he family living here can easily be traced jack, yet there remains no definite record •f the death of Col. Ball and the disposal jf his enormous riches. About sixty years i jo it is know that be distributed large tracts of land in Greene county, Pennsyl vania, among his heirs. As the land was lien considered worthless, Paul Custer dis ,>osed of his portion for A SMALL SUM, M did nearly all the other heirs. The lucky purchaser made Si 1,000 out of the speculation. Thirty years ago the descen dants of the old millionaire in the neighbor hood, were aroused by receiving letters irom a lawyer, Charles De Lessing of Phil adelphia, which stated that vast plats of . eal estate in the business portion of Phila delphia belonged to the heirs of Col. Ball, and that he had collected 510,000 In rentals, etc, which ought to be divided. The wily lawyer further requested^ that as there was some dispute" over the prop erty, each heir should sign overpower of attorney to him — as a matter of conven ience. Many foolishly did this and were swindled out of their birthright. Authen tic records, however, still exist pointing to the fact that Col. Ball once did own large proportions of Philadelphia, when a young city, and several large tracts of land in Pennsylvania. His wealth was certainly in the millions, but for nearly a century one branch of his family has been defrauded of its just inheritance by trickery and de ception, they claim. The heirs in the city and county will make an organized effort 10 get their own. HIAURIED IS COURT. Peculiar Ending of a Suit Full of Exciting Episodes. Special to the Globe,, Lkbanon, Term.. April 10. — Xo more exciting trial has occurred in Tennessee than the McDaniel-Scobey seduction suit at Lebanon, which ended to-day in a remark able and unexpected manner. A. D. .Scobey. teacher in the normal school at Winchester, Term., was arrested at the instance of Miss Bettie Mc- Daniel, and charged 1 with intimacy with her. lie was carried to Lebanon for examination, which was begun yesterday. Just before the trial began there occurred a dramatic incident which stirred the whole court room. The fair victim had heard the argument quietly, and no word had escaped. Suddenly she walked up to Scobey, and laying her hand firmly on his shoulder, and looking him squarely in the face said in a calm, clear voice, solemn and impressive, whose notes penetrated every ear: "Do you mean to look me in the face and say before God and in the presence of the good people of Lebanon that you are not guilty?" She paused for a reply, but there was no time for words. Before Scobey could open his lips, her father and cousin Louis sprang to her side, and Scobey thrust his hand into his inner pocket as if to draw a pistol. The room was a scene of conster nation. Only the woman was calm. Officers rushed to the rescue and QUIET WAS KESTORED. The trial then proceeded. For hours Miss McDaniel told the story of her ruin. She maintained her composure during the whole of that trying ordeaL When the court adjourned, as the crowd was filing out, McDaniel, the father of the girl, threw his hand to his pocket as if to draw a pistol. A man named Johnson sprang between them and prevented a conflict. The crowd was greatly excited, and a dash was made for the doors. Peace was re stored, and the principal parties to the affair left the building in apparent quiet. Scobey composedly walked down the street, lie had not gone far before McDaniel over took him and assaulted him. Officers were on the alert, and before any shooting could be done both parties were arrrested. This morning after Miss McDaniel and her father had completed their testimony Scobey announced in open court his will tngness to marry the woman he had wronged, and this being agreed to the cere mony was performed by the examining justice, K. L. White, in the presence of over 1.000 people, who greeted the unex pected result with loud cheers. Pro. Sco bey and his wife left In the afternoon for their country homo.

POISON, SEVEN-UP, DEATH. The Unparalleled Coolness of an Indiana Horse-Thief. A Bay State You Man Works a Doc tor lor :*SO, OOO. Colombian Counterfeiters Arrested In New York. Faced Death Bravely. Special to the Globe. Makion, lnd., April 10.— case of Elmer Ryan, charged with horse stealing, had a tragic termination here last night in the death of the prisoner by suicide. Shortly after being placed in the lockup Ryan showed symptoms of poisoning. The marshal who arrested him stated that shortly after he had taken him into custody the prisoner produced a small bottle which contained a white powder, and, holding it up. remarked: "You would not think that was poison, would you?" He then poured the contents into his hand, swallowed it and threw the bottle ' against a freight car. The officer, suppos- ' ing the powder was quinine, gave the mat ter no further attention. Being placed in jail he called for a deck of cards and played a game of seven-up with a fellow prisoner. During the game he remarked incidentally that he had taken arsenic and would be a corpse before morning. lie showed symp toms of sickness, but his talk was regarded as an idle jest. Later a physician was sum moned, but | HE GREW WORSE ' and expired at 1 1 o'clock last evening. Dr. Flyun, who attended him, states his symp toms indicated neather arsenic strychnine nor belladonna, and a post mortem will be required to determine the cause of his death. The case in which the death of Ryan marks the climax presents a strange and almost unparalled combination of circumstances. Four years ago he was received as a farm hand in the family of Mrs. William Hite, a wealthy widow, residing ten miles south of here. A little over two years ago he mar ried the widow's daughter.

A search was made of the premises and among the large quantity of stuff found were signatures of the notes, some notes unsigned and others signed, a numbering machine, some plates, type and plates for coupons. The notes tilled two small trunks and amounted to over 8200.000. The prisoners were taken before United States Commissioner Shields and held in 55.000 bail and remanded for a hearing on Monday morning.

NO. 1 0 1 DEMOCRATS IN A RAGE Cleveland's Civil Service Policy Far Proa Pleasing to Many Members of His Party, Some of Whom Bitterly Denounce Him foi Retaining so Many Republicans in the Departments. Joe Pulitzer Shows That lie Loves the World Better Than a Seat In Congress. The Country Generally Satisfied With. the Provisions of the River and Harbor Bill. The Spoilsmen Protest. Special to the Globe. Washington, April 10.— An officer of the house of representatives who is in a position to get at the feeling and hear the expressions of Democratic members of congress on the president's civil-service policy, said to a Globk representative to-day: The feeling of the Democratic members re garding the president's civil service policy und bis treatment of Democrats, has never been friendly at any time, but has not been so pronounced heretofore as now, since the result of the elections of the states in the West and Northwest. With now and then an exception, it is by them held that the result Is to be attributed to President Cleveland's policy regarding the civil service laws, which furnishes him an excuse to keep the Republicans in and the Democrats out of office, hence the disgust of the rank and file and the apathy expressed by them by staying: away from the polls. A Southern Democratic member with whom I was talking this moring was very bitter and emphatic in denunciation of the presi cent's Miss Nancy policy, and said that he believed in the doctrine that he who serves his party best in everything that is proper serves bis country best. The remarks of Representative Bennett of North Carolina in the bouse a few days ago, on his colleague's (Mr. Cox) civil service resolution, have been commented upon a great deal and highly ap proved of. A DEMOCRAT FROM MICHIGAN, who came here on private business, remarked to me yesterday while discussing the presi dent's policy, that during the recent election in Bay City, in this state, a city that gave two years ago 2,000 Democratic majority, he saw Democrats at the polls working for and v ot ing the Republican ticket to show their dis gust of the president's policy. If a Demo cratic member of congress goes to any one of tne different departments to secure a place for one of his constituents, he is told that the quota of his state is full, and that there is no chance for his man. "Full of what; Democrats?" Oh, no: full of Republicans, who are not to be disturbed in their soft spot, and if a member writes home that he is not able to secure a position for some worthy Democrat In one of the different departments here, he is not be lieved by his constituents and blamed for not trying to get a place, they not being willing to believe that it is Impossible under a Democratic adminstration to secure a clerkship for a Democrat. But such is nevertheless the fact. The government printing office here, employing a force of men and women of about 2,000, and entirely outside of the civil-service law, is still in the control of the Republicans, presided over by a Republican superintendent, -with a large number of clerkships under him that of right BELONG TO WORTHY DEMOCRATS. The same holds good of the bureau of engraving and printing, where there is also a force employed of from 1.000 to 1,200, with the exception that it is presided over by a mugwump. There has been no change in the cash. room of the treasury. The same republican clerks are there now that have been there for years, and not one of these positions comes under the civil service law. They could all be turned out at the pleasure of th c secretary of the treasury. In short, all the different departments here all come under the same category now, and there is a Demo cratic chief of division or chief clerk, and they are powerless to help their Democratic friends outside, because Grover , Cleveland says he will not allow any removals to be made on account of politics. His majesty must be ' of the opinion that when the people voted for a change they voted for him and a few cab inet officers only, and that the key-note dur ing the last campaign, "Turn the rascals out," was merely wind and froth. Under these conditions is it to be wondered that the Democratic members of congress are dis gusted, and if they are unable to help their friends to positions it is not because they are not willing or anxious to do so, but be. cause of a policy adopted by a president that was elected by Democrats, but who will not do anything for the party who elected him. Pulitzer Resigns. . New York, April 9. — Mr. Joseph Pu litzer, editor of the New York World, to day forwarded to the secretary of state his resignation as representative in congress from the Ninth district of New York, stat ing that it was impossible for him to per form the duties pertaining to the position without neglecting his newspaper. RIVERS A\D HARBORS, Hlost Sections Interested Pleased With the Bill. Special to the Globe. Washington*, April 10.— Gen. Grog venor, who is a member of the standing committee of the house on rivers and harbors, said to-day that the reports coming from all sections of the country as shown by news paper comments were very flattering to the committee: "The bill seems to give general satisfac tion to the great majority," said Gen. Gros venor. "It is true $15,000,000, the sum ap propriated by the bill, is very large, but it must be borne in mind that the Forty-eighth congress, at its last session, did not make an appropriation, its bills having failed. So the public will not consider this bill objectiona ble on account of the sum appropriated, if only the details of the bill show wis lorn in the distribution. New projects are springing up, and new demands for old ones. Farmers and pro ducers of the Northwest demand deep water and improved waterways to aid them in their struggle for a footing in the markets of Europe for their produce. They must trans port at low rates or India will drive them out of markets heretofore profitable. Again, labor is unemployed. It is tho part of wis dom to provide employment, and the great public works can be carried on now for less money than a few years aaro. It is no time now to hoard money in the treasury or re duce tariff taxation. It is better to protect labor on the one hand and employ It on the other. DEEP WATER is the great cry of to-day. Our rivers are our best protectors from monopoly. But deep water helps the railroads too. We are going to have a deep water straight channel out of Toledo by the Maumee, and that will benflit tho fifteen railroads centering in that city, at tho same time aid the miner in the valleys by increasing his market for coal. Tho great harbors on the Texas coast will furnish . highways of commercial intercourse with Mexico, and offer to our trade new and splendid develop ment. Tho bill gives careful consideration to the great lakes of the Northwest, in the navi gation of which so many millions of capital are involved." "Do unworthy places secure some of th eso appropriations?" "No doubt. Human wisdom is not infalli ble, and then, too. river and habor bills must bo passed, and to accomplish that votes must bo bad, and it would be more than could be expected that every dollar is wisely appropri ated." "Could you suggest a better system, gen eral?" "Possibly. I think if we were to appropri ate a sum in round numbers, say SIS.UIH ,000, and then by means of a commission or by the agency of the army engineers use the money some of the defects of the present system might be avoided, but, after all, the people control congress and punish unfaithful mem bers, and that is a strict anchor against bad appropriations."
