VOL, VII THE GREYSTONE HERMIT. The Sly Saare Still Finfferins; the Wires— Old Tilden Workers Gathering; the Spoils. The Whi9ky Interest Alarmed at the Prospect of Randall Dominat ing the Administration. The Army Rin? that Has Run the War De partment for Years and Ruled in the High Esthetic Social Sphere Will nave a Grand Shaking Up -Many Hi?h Rank Vacancies to Occur During Present Administration. ?poeinl to the Globe. New Yokk, March 19. — Mr. Tilden, for an old man dead and buried a long time since, according to the Republican press and Mug wumps, is pretty well, thank you. What with tbe appointment of Secretaries Manning and Whitney, Assistant Secretary of tbe Treasury Fairchild, Internal Revenue Com missioner Miller and now of Malcolm Hay as first assistant postmaster general, the Sage of Greystone can rest secure in the be lief that bis friends of 1876 and 1880 will not be neglected in the Democratic deal just begun. In all these appointments Congress man Samuel J. Randall has appeared as a prominent figure, but Tilden workers, the country over, who were behind the scenes at Chicago, PULLING THE WIRES for Mr. Cleveland's nomination, are behind the. scenes at Washington pursuing the same congenial avocation. The treasury and post office departments dispense three-fourths of all the federal patronage. Of 100,000 feder al officials upward of 55,000 are postmasters and all but 2,500 are in the appointment of the first assistant, postmaster general. The Pltte burg lawyer who ia to rill tbat place, Malcolm Hay, was one of Mr. Tilden's visit ing statesmen in Florida in 1876. He was engaged as assistant counsel in the cases as made up before the electoral commission, and he was in Cincinnati in 1880 as an ad vocate ol MR. TILDEX'S I'.ENOMIN-ATIOX. These ar>' pointers suflicient for any but the blindest hat of a politician at a country en — roads, where the sign-boards are often er upside down than otherwise. Charles B. Fidrchild, tbe new assistant treasurer, is another of Mr. Tilden's favorites. He was a bright young lawyer when Got. Tiideii first fell in with him and became attracted by his evident ability. At the gov ernor's request he was made assistant attor ney general, in which position he made A STATE UEprTATION*. He is devoted !<> Mr. Tilden and was one of Mr. Manning's best workers. S. K. Robertson, brother of Congressman Robertson of Kentucky, says that Judge Milton li- Durham's career in congress, ex tending over eight years, was characterized by a strict economy record, second only to aucb men as Mr. Randall and Objector Hol man. He waa succeeded by Phil Thompson some four years ago, and there has been an tagonism between them since even an earlier date. They were candidates for tiie Demo cratic Domination last fall when the judge's candidacy tv-ut tbe nomination to Joseph B. McCraary, who is tbe present congressman. Durham's selection is considered here as A BAD BLACK ETE for Thompson, us there are not likely to be two ex-congressmen from the same district chosen for Important places and as another victory of the Randall interests. A promi nent St. Louis whisky man said to-night that the tight by Randall on Thompson lias grown wholly out of the whisky question. The whisky Interest is alarmed at the prospect of Randall's dominating the administration with lii- view as to the abolition of the internal revenue, and the free trader* are in a raife at the une thought, since such a course would Insure the retention of the present protective ;arilT policy. THE ARMY KING To l>e Cleaned out of Washington— lli^lt Rank Vacancies, Special to the < ilobe. Washington, March 19. — There is to be a great shnklnq up of army officers on duty about Washington. On Monday the new secretary of war, Judge Endlcott, scut (or the adjutant eeneral of the army, and requested a complete list of all army officers on duty In Washington, with information as to what duty each Is perform ing, whether such duty Is authorized or directed by law, and the exact time each has been on duty here. It is the opinion of the few who already know of this matter that the new secretary in! Qdsto Issue orders some day soou RELIEVING EVERT OFFICER on duty taVre. statl or line, who has been here three years. The customary tour of de tail Is perhaps fire years at the furthest. He seems to think that others may be entitled to a little experience of Washington official life us well as the small ring that has run the war department for so many years as a close corporal 0 Of course this cannot affect the chiefs of staffs. corps and departments, as their duties are fixed by law at the scat of government, but there arc many others who have been hire so Ions; that they have built C3RAND DOMES, and neemia settled down to stay. The present administration will be a very import ant one for the army.owing to the number of bUrh rauk vacancies which will occur within the next four years and which President Cleveland will have to fill. Brig. Grn. j Augur, who I* now In command of the de partment of the Missouri, will be retired in July, l^o, ami In July, 18S6, he will be fol lowed by Maj. Gen. Pope and den. John Hew ton, chief of the engineers, and in August by Surgeon General Murray. Two vacancies will occur in the H*t of brigadier generals. When Gen. TV ( x- i-» retired Gen. Terry or lun. Howard will succeed him as major general, and iv February, 1988, UF.N. HANCOCK will be retired, thus promoting another brig adier to be major general, and making a second vacancy in tt-e brigadier list. Gen. Terry i* entitled to the first major generalship vacancy by Gen. Pope's retirement But Gen. Hancock's successor will become the bead of the ar:nv on the retirement of Gen.

Washington, March 18.— The war between the Kansas factions, headed by Gen. Blair and Gov. Glick.continues to be entertaining. From one side it is easy to learn all that the other is doing. The Blair crowd take credit for having checkmated the ex-governor in bis move for the comraissionership of tbe general land office to succeed Judge McFar land. Click's first blunder was in letting a man in bad odor with Democrats present him to Attorney • General Garland. His chaperon was the party who went to Kansas a year ago to help Wood defeat Thomas Ryan for congress. The ex-governor, perhaps, didn't know it, but he was in very injudicious company for one who wanted something from this ad ministration. The Blair men saw the blunder and made the most of it. . Glick and. the un known who tried to teach him the ropes represented to leading Democrats that with the patronage of the general land office they could insure Kansas to the Democracy. The Kansas senators (Plumb and Ingalls) heard of this, and put in some influence where it would do the most good to thwart Glick's plans. To cap the climax, the candidate allowed himself to be presented to the president by old Ike Sharp, of Kansas, who is just now under a dark cloud in his state owing to some suspicious transfers of school lands, be being a - school regent The Blair men have worked to kill off GHck, and say their efforts have been so far so successful that the ex-governor has dropped his hopes of the land office and has become a candidate . for commissioner of agriculture, to which they think be will come no ue&rer than to the place first mentioned. All that the Biair meu want now is to down GHck and to make their man Perry of Ft. Scott, the district attorney. Manitoba Politics. Winnipeg, March 19.— At a meeting of the Manitoba Rights party of the provincial par liament this eveuing a demand was made for a redistribution of the seats in the houses and the resignation of the ministry, or a v on -acceptance of the terms offered Mani toba by the federal government.

Make No Applications for Office Until the Terms of the Present In cumbents Expire. Removals Will be Made for Cause Only —President's Messaare Too Late for the Senate. The Senators Sworn in and the Treaty With Egypt Confirmed- Serious Trouble in Central America. How tbe President Handles His Mail-Rush for Postofflce3— Labor Interests— General Capital News. 1 , Special to the Globe. Washington, March 19. — The senate had adjourned when the president's private sec retary reached the capital to-day with one or more nominations. Now all is speculation to know what names are on the list. The ac cepted rpport is that there was but one name and that of an appointee to be assistant secretary of state. A few of the office applicauts criticised the senate for its early adjournment, whereupon it wa6 re marked that an administration which began its work at 8 o'clock in the morning ought to be able to eet the nominations to the capitol before 1 o'clock. Malcolm Hay, the newly appointed post master general, was at the postoffice depart ment to-day. He looks to be in quite feeble health. Ex-Postmaster General Hatton says he will break down in a few months. "Why?" was asked. "Because he is a sres max. The smell of the porous plaster is on him. I know the great work of the office,for I have been through with it." In the face of tbe ap pointments made by the president yesterday, it is idle to speculate on lucky candidates. The office-seekers who stay away from this city seem to have the call. It may be to morrow the president will have an other surprise for those men here seeking to get the general land office and Indian commissionership. The end of the special session of the senate is near. The credentials of Senator Gray of Delaware were presented to-day, and he was sworn in. SENATOR GHAT is a man of impressive appearance. He is tall, perhaps nearly six feet, and finely pro portioned. His hair and mustache are black, and on tue crown of his head there is a bald spot. He was dressed in black, his coat being a frock closely buttoned. Sen ator Wilson of Maryland was also sworn in. He is aboul five feet eightinches tall, looks to be fiO years of age, and has a scant head of hair,which is as white as snow. His face, which is very pale is smooth shaven. A protuiuent Democrat who is in close relations with President Cleveland is authority for the state ment that it is THE PRESIDENT'S INTENTION* to make no changes in any of the thousands of four-year-term offices except for cause. When terms of present incumbents expire their offices will be tilled by picked Demo crats. The principal "cause" for a chancre will be proof of an officer having used vis position for political purposes, particularly iv the recent presidential election. 4u this connection it is stated that there is no use making an application for appointment to one of these officers unless ltcau be dearly shown that incumbent should be removed • k for cause." The malls received by President Cleveland are auout the same size as those received by President Garrield, but comparatively few of the letters EVER KEACH THE PRESIDENT. A big bundle of letters is placed on the president's desk several times during the day. He skims them over rapidly, selecting those he wants to consider himself, and turns the bulk of them over to his secretary for ex amination, reference and reply. What llrrcimii of Applications. Special to the Globe. \V\-hingtos, March 19. — In speaking of the nominations made yesterday Col. Lamont said: "If you would examine Cleveland's record at Albany, you would rind that he was in the habit of selecting non-applicants for office. A great many applications are received at the department from people who want clerkships. These are referred to the civil service com mission." It is >uted at tne White house that the rush of visitors to the president since the 4th of March, though lanre, does not compare with the crowds that besieged President Garfield daily after his inauguration. The Ku-h for i'ostofflres. Special to the (iloba. Wa-ihngtox, March 19. — Tt Is estimated that applications for about 5,000 posb>ffices have been received at the pnstoffice depart ment As there are 50,000 postoillces in the L'uited States tbe rush of application has just began. To-day it is estimated that aoout 10,000 applications were received, and it is expected tuat the rush will continue until late iv tbe summer. CAPITAL GOSSIP. Pemonjtl Movements and .Society Notes.

Duluth, March 19. — The Marquis de Mores was here to-day and was interviewed on his plans for transporting beef to New York by way of the lakes and Buffalo instead of by an ail rail route via Chicago. It is said the Northern Pacific Refrigerator Car com pan} is now endeavoring to make arrangements with one or more transportation companies, which doubtless will be successful. The pro posed route in his opinion will be much superior to the one formerly U3ed in the item of cheapness as well as pre serving the meats In a much better condition. The present route from Medora, Mont, by way of Chicago to New York tikes a five days' trip from Medora to Chicago, at a rate for transportation of $1 per hundred. and from Chicago to New York, a trip of six clhvb, the rate is 92 cents per hundred, making in all eleven days meat would have to be on the road, at a cost of $1.92 for transportation. By way of the lakes, from Medora to Duluth by rail is a run of two days, aud from Duluth by boat to Buffalo four days, where it will be transferred to cars and taken to New York in twelve hours, making the whole trip from the range to New York in seven days, against eleven days by an all rail route. By thi«> way meat will be carried for about 70 cents or a differ ence of % 1.22 in its favor, besides this meat will arrive at Buffalo in a much better condi tion than if taken by rail, and a run of twelve hours will not tend to deteriorate it to any great extent.

DEATH OF AN OLD SETTLER. Mai. R. H. Rose died at his residence Wednesday evening about 7 o'clock. He had caught a severe cold on last Friday which confined him to the house for two days, but on Monday he ventured out but was taken much worse with inflammation of the bowels and he continually sank until his death two days later.

Hunting Up Evidence. Special to the Globe. Steele, March 19. — History is re peating itself in the case of the murdered Schenck, near Tappan. It now turns out that he has been a resident of the United States for a number of years, and was a thriftless, worthless, dare-devil kind of a man whom it was dangerous to have as an enemy. Some time last fall he had a diffi culty" with his father, a man about 75 years old and his sister, a young woman, and he gave them both a severe beating. During the day of his being killed he had a difficulty with Anton Liepowski and on the night of the murder a crippled man living at Llepowski's house heard the shots fired which killed him,and stepped out doors, when he met Liepowski who said he had fixed him this time. Officers are now in the neighborhood of the murder looking up evi dence and it may transpire tbat some of those now living know more of this affair than they will at present tell.

Winnipeg, March 19. — telegram from Prince Albert, N. W. T., to the Free Press, says: Louis Kiel has thrown off the mask and now openly defies the queen's authority. He siva that he has the half-breeds and Indians entirely under his control. He says the Northwest police force is a mere notbinjr,and that their authority shall not be respected. Depriving the white settlers of their stand of arms last year has exasperated them, but they remain loyal, and if given arms and ammunition they will defend themselves against Rid and defend the queen's author ity. A mass meeting is to be held to-mor row afternoon and several hundred men will enlist if the government will furnish them with arms and ammunition. The feeling is very strong here that the government should come to tbeir assistance if only for the sake !of the women in the settlement.

The Northern Pacific Summer Schedule ot Trains to be Inaugurated April 5. An Order to the Receiver to Issue First Mortgage Certificates on West Shore Stock. The St. Panl & Dulnth Company Fixing Up Through Summer Rates by Lake. No Cat from the Special Rates to he Given to the Grand Army Encampm ent. As was stated in the Globe some time since, a scheme i 6 on foot to build a line of railroad from a poiut on the Canadian Pa cific line, possibly Winnipeg, to the Turtle mouutain region on the North Dakota line. The line will likely be huilt in lieu of the land grant of 6,400 acres per mile of the Manitoba & Southwestern, which is con trolled by tbe Canadian Pacific. The indications are that if the scheme now being worked at Ottawa, to have the govern ment guarantee 3 per cent, on another issue of bonds in the sum of $35,000,000, be suc cessful, the Canadian Pacific will build the branch line. The building of this line would have the effect of heading off the projected line from Brandon through the Turtle moun tain country to connect with the proposed extension of the Manitoba road from Devil's Lake. BY RAIt AND WATER. Summer Passenger Rates Via the St. Paul &• Duluth and Lake Superior Transit Cotnvany. The St. Paul & Duluth road is preparing its summer passenger rates via the lake route to Eastern points. The route given by this road the past few years has cut quite a hole in the revenues of other roads, both east and west of Chicago, on the summer tourist busi ness, and the route has already been used for passengers to seaboard points bound to Europe on steerage tickets. Last summer it gained quite a repute, as the lines out of St. Paul were cutting rates to Chicago and making terribly low rates for emigrants bound for Europe. The price was about $30 from St. Paul to European ports and when rates were quoted by a certain firm at $25 it could not be realized how, or in what way they were sent to tna seaboard. But it- happened that it was via the St. Paul & Duluth road to Duluth and by steamer to Buffalo. Second class rates by steamer to Boston and New York were as low as $13, and $9 to Cleveland and Buffalo last year; and the poorer class of travelers whose money was of more object to them than their time, boycotted the railroads and rode by water. It is likely that the railroads and steamship companies this year will come to some agreement whereby rates will be based on mileage distance, allowing a fair differential for this mute. The tourist busi ness promises to be larger this year than it has ever been beforc,and though the St. Paul & Duluth people have not heard from all the Eastern railroads in regard to rates, it is most likely that the following will not be very wide of the mark. From St. Paul to Buffalo and return 57,3 85 New York and return 70 85 Boston and return......... , 70 15 Pittfiburg and return 56 50 Cleveland and return 48 50 Detroit and return 42 20 Cincinnati and return 59 75 Washington and return 09 75 The rates given include meals and berths while upon steamer. The Summer Schedule. On April 5 the time schedule of Northern Pacific trains will be changed and another will be added to the list. This is for the opening of the summer traffic. And from present appearances there will be plenty travel to make the enterprise of an extra train pay. With the new schedule there will be one through train, two to the Missouri river, Mandun, aud three to Fargo, leaving St. Paul and Minneapolis dally. The first, the Red River express train, will depart at 7:55 a. m. ; the Pacific express at 4p. m. for Portland, Or., and the Missouri River ex press at Bp. m. The trains will arrive in St. Paul from the west us follows: The .\lan<lan express at 7:50 a. in.; Atlantic ex press, from the coast, at 12:30 p. m. ; the Fargo accommodation at 7:15 p. m. Local Mt+ms. The Wisconsin Central is negotiating for a piece of land on the east side of Eau Claire river, about four rods from the Milwaukee company's depot at Eau Claire, on which to build a handsome depot the corning season. The Chicago trunk lines have agreed that no rate le6s than the agreed special rate already grauted should be given to any bands, drum corps, committees, Btate de partments or organizations of any kind attending the reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic at Portland, Me., June 22, 1885. It has also been agreed that stop-over privi leges would not l>e allowed members of the Grand Army of the Republic- and Women's Relief corps on the return portions of their tickets only. The presidents and general managers of the trunk lines east of Chicago are working a plan for the creation of a new pool. One of the features of the plau is the depositing of a certain sum by each company, which amount in ca6e they violate the agreement they for feit. The general greight agents of the east bound lines from Chicago held a meeting at Joint Agent Moore's office Wednesday morn ing at Chicago to discuss the situation. No decision of any importance was arrived at. John J. Byrne, iv the Michigan Central passenger service, lias been appointed to take charge of the passenger and ticket depart ment of the Oregon Navigation road to com mence April. Judge Nixon of the United States circuit court, Trenton, N. J., orders that the re ceivers of the West Shore issue certificate* on notes at par value to. the amount of $3,300,000, whir-h shall be a lien prior to the flntt mortgage with authority to purchase the locomotives and machinery necessary to operate the road. It is announced that the Union Pacific has ordered all its transcontinental business orisrinatine on the Atlantic seaboard to be sent over the Oregon short line and the Ore gon Navigation to Portland and thence by steamer to San Francisco. This orxJer waa issued on account of the Central Pacific re fusal to take it at Ogden except at local rates. What the Medical Journal Will Say. New York, March 19.— The Medi cal .Record of New York will soon publish a diagnosis of the disease in Gen. Grant's throat, in which it is decided that a surgical operation to remove the same would result in his death. But should certain symptoms appear it is the opinion that the dividing of the gustatory nerve will be* practicable to mitigate suffering. The Phil<idelphia Medical News in an article this week will pronounce Gen. Grant's disease to be "Lingual Epithelioma." This when left to itself takes the lire of a pa tient in an average of about s^ven months time. It will further say that a surgical op eration with terrible risks to possibly pratoMj life for nineteen months is not justifiable in thi3 caw.-, while no Just such an openation as wou.d have to be per formed in this case i 3 on record.
