HOC ISl M , FACTIONS IN A ROW Democrcy of South Carolina ( Fails to Harmonize. f ) I HOSTILES MEET IS BISSELL'S OFFICE j And Exchange Remark. That Are Not at All Affectionate Report That Eckels j Nomination Was an Inadvertence Ste. j Teuton'! Cousin Gets a Diplomatic Vosl- j tion Judge lochren for Tension Com-j missloner Palmer Gets Off a Joke in the Senate Adjournment Expected Soon Reciprocity Doomed. Washington, April 6. There was a live ly meeting lasting two hours and three quarters last evening in the office of Post master General Bissell between the two factions of the South Coralina Democracy. Senator Irby and Representatives Latimer, Talbert, Shell and Strait were present representing the Tillrnanites, and Senator Butler and ex-Representatives Johnston and Hemphill the Conservatives. The feel ing ran high and some tart passages were exchanged between them, of which the climax came when, after Johnston had ileniedsome of Irby's statements, the latter responded that he was responsible for any thing he might say at the conference. The meeting started out by Senator Irby stat ing that he had it on authority (which he named) that Sdnator Butler came there with a stick in his hand and a pistol in his pocket. Butler denied this allegation ab solutely. Didn't Get on Well Together. Each side presented its case, the Tillman-; itcs claiming that they represented the Democratic party of South Carolina and the Conservatives declaring the Tillrnan ites were Alliance men and not Democrats. Postmaster General Bissell had said that he would hear Senator Irby. The latter replied that he would wait on the senior senator, to which Butler retorted that un less Irby was running the meeting he would submit to no dictation at his hands and was tired of his insolence, and there were equally sharp passages between Strait and Butler. Postmaster General Bissell dur ing the hearing laid down the policy of himself. He said that the department would not regard the recommendation of a senator or representative as conclusive, but merely presumptive in favor of the man endorsed, no long as he was at the head of the postofGce department. That Eckels Nomination. The nomination of Eckels to be comp troller of the currency has not been re ported to the senate, but is still in the hands of a sub-committee of the commit tee on finance. In view of the fact that neither the comptroller of the currency nor the gentleman selected as deputy somptroller of the currency Tucker has bad any previous experience in the man agement of financial affairs the commit tee is inclined to believe that the prevail ing rumor as to Eckels' selection for this position, being an inadvertence is well Founded, and it is understood that the at tention of the president will be brought to this particular case by members of the 3omm:ttee through representations made to the head of the treasury department. ANOTHER MINISTER NOMINATED. lainei S. Kwing, of Illinois, to Go to the Belgian Capital. The men who were given public office yesterday, so far as the president uonld do it were: James S. Kwing, of Illinois, minister to Belgium; Thomas T. Critten 3en, of Missouri, consul general at the City of Mexico; Louis C. Hughes, of Ari zona, governor of Arizona; William T. Thornton, of New Mexico, governor of New Mexico; William M. Maize, of Ohio, surveyer of customs for the port of Col- ambus, u. Ewing is. the law partner and cousin of Vice President Stevenson; Crittenden is ?x-govemor of Missouri, and the man who hunted Jesse James to his death. Sarcasm Made 'Em Restless. For a short time yesterday it was im possible for newspaper men to get the us ual list of appointments to fourth-class postoffiees. The matter caused a good deal sf comment at the department and it leaked out that the cause of this policy of jecrecy was the restiveness of the prasident and the postmaster general - under the numerous or sarcastic comments of para graphers and headline editors on the news papers on "The Working of Maxwell's Suillotine, etc." It was therefore resolved to cut off the source of information, but later in the day Postmaster General Bissel rescinded the order. The list showed about 134 fourth-class postmasters appointed. The Next Feusion Commissioner. It is reported as c i the authority of Sen ator Palmer, charman of the senate pen lions committee, that General Raum's iuccessor had been selected and that the lucky man would go to the senate within forty-eight hours. . Further than this Sen ator Palmer would not say, but he inti mated that the appointee would be from the north. From this hint it is believed that there is a good foundation for the report that Judge William Lochren, of Minneapolis, has been selected. Addition al importance is given the rumor by the Fact that Judge Lochren called at the White House yesterday morning. Confirmed hy the Senate. The senate has confirmed the following nominations: William II. Seaman, of Wis sonsin, to be United States district judge for the eastern district of Wisconsin; Ezra W. Miller, of South Dakota, to be attorney of the United States for the district of South Dakota: Felix A. Reeves, of Tennes see, to be solicitor of the treasury; Herman Stump, of Maryland, to be superintendent of immigration. REMINDED HIM OF A STORY Palmer Raises a Laugh Among the Sol emn Senators Tiring of the Session.' Washington,' April 6. The noticeable thing about the senate yesterday was the large array of vacant seats, a considerable number of the senators having gone home and others finding the debate on the ques tion on the power of governors to ap point senators when the legislators fail to elect too dreary to keep1 them in the cham ber. Chandler spoke in favor of the ma jority report recommending the seating of the appointed senators and was replied to bv Senator 1 aimer. Chandler had nlead- ed tor a broad and liberal construction of the constitute n, and having ridiculed the minority's position as a technical and nar row construction Palmer in reply said the fathers of the constitution had adopted what the senator called a narrow and illib eral construction, but he (Chandler), their wiser son, had found another method bet ter than theirs. Knew a Better Doctrine. The senator's discovery reminded him of a Calvin istic preacher, who, on a certain occasion, said to his congregation: "My brethren, there is a man going up and down through the country preaching that all men can be saved. Thank bod, we .. teach better .than this." Laughter. The senate is now awaiting notification from the president that he no longer re quires its presence before adjourning its special session. There is no life in the de bate and there is an understanding amount ing to substantially the same thing as an agreement that neither the question of the power of the governors to appoint senators nor the proposed Roach investigation will be pushed to a vote at this session. Proceedings in the Senate. Washington, April 6. There were two speeches made in the senate yesterday on the question of the admission oil the sena tors appointed by governors. Chandler contended for a broad and liberal construc tion of the clause of the constitutirn bear- ing on the subject, while Palmer stood for I ctrint r.nn l li.....t inn fli a rtrl l.

The resolution went over on the objection of Gorman. 'Will Repudiate Reciprocity. Washington, April It is reported on good authority that Secretary Greshani has advised the president to revoke Presi dent Harrison's action which prohibited Venezuela and Hay Li sending in their sugar and coffee free of duty. This action by President Harrison was taken because those nations refused to make any recipro cal arrangements when the sugar duty was removed. It is believed that the presi dent will follow Gresham's advice and that this act ion will prove the beginning of the end cf ciprocity. 3I.rringe in Official Life. Washington, April 6. Roy Jones, son of Senator Jones, of Nevada, and Miss Pauline Williamson, daughter of General James A. Williamson, were married at St. John's Episcopal church yesterday in the presence of a large gathering of people well known in Washington society. The young couple will live on Senator Jones' 30,000 acre ranch in California, or which the groom is manager. Gives Bis Stepdad a Beap of Trouble. Washington. April 6. Harry Martin, a stepson of Senator Vance, of Xorth Caro lina, attempted to commit suicide last night because of a trouble with some girl. He is the young man who figured in the courts some time ago for attempting one night to break into the White House dur ing the Harrison administration when un der the influence of liquor. Martial Law for the Cboctaws. Washington, April 6. Secretary Hoke Smith has received a telegram from Indian Agent Bennett in which he recommends that the Choctaw nation be placed under martial law. This he believes to be the only way in which peace can be main tained. Secretary Smith has as yet taken Bo action on this recommendation. Twenly-rive 1'ension Kinployes Dropped. Washington, April 6. On the recom mendation of the second assistant secre tary, who made an investigation as to their efficiency, twenty-five special examiners in the pension bureau were yesterday dropped from the rolls. Their places will remain vacant for some time at least. An Appeal for the Timber. Washington, April 6. The executive committee of the American Forestry as- sociation, through B. F. Feruow, chair- man, has sent to Hon. Hoke Wraith an ' earnest appeal not to grant permits for ex- tended periods to cut timber over selected areas ol the public lauds.

Lockwood has been commissioned by the j International Peace bureau at Heme to I J open and conduct a branch bureau during ! the World's fair and report, to the Kuropeau peace congress at its session in September, ' 1S93. j The Martin Case Will Go Over. Washington, April 6. Senator Vance, chairman of the senate committee on privileges and elections, stated yesterday that nothing would be done this session in J Martin, the senator from Kansas. Official Notes. The Post says that it is understood that the nomination of General E. S. Bragg, of Wisconsin, to be minister to Brazil will be sent to the senate this week. I The impression among those who are making it their business to find out, and also who are his friends, is that Frank Lawler will get the Chicago postoffice. Secretary Carlisle has appointed Al Car lisle, of Salem, O., inspector of furniture for the treasury department, vice Henry L. Swords, resigned. The place pays $3,000 a year and traveling expenses. He is no rela tive of the secretary. PRESSURE ON PRESIDENT M'LEOD. Miners and Dealers Don't Like the Idea of His lietirement. Philadelphia, April C. It is reported in financial circles here that great pressure is being brought to bear on President Mc Leod to withdraw his resignation and con tinue in control of the operating depart ment of the Reading railway. Mr. Mc Leod has, it is understood, taken the mat ter under advisement, although he would say nothing. Would Be Bad for the Coal Trade. It is believed McLeod's retirement from the Heading railway will have a serious effect upon the anthracite coal trade. His policy, it is also said, had been such as to increase the profits to both miners and dealers, and these classes regard his re tirement as-a signal for lack of cohesion among all concerned in maintaining prices at a uniform level.
