ORDERS WERE DRAWN
Interesting Remarks by Secretary
Window.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press of JUNE
! 9TH publishes an interview with SeCre
tary Window.
"YuU will pardon me, Mr.. Window, ,
said the reporter, 'if | ask a rather deli
cate question, but, not to beat about the
bush, what are the relations of the pres.
ent Cabinet among the members and
toward the President"
"The relations of the Cabinet are most
I harmonious, and have been such from
the beginning Of the present Admins
| trati0u, all the reports OF newspaper
correspondents and pretended wiseacres
to the contrary Notwithstanding. There
is not, nor has there been; the slightest
iar or discurd, but all moves pleasantly
and without friction. General Garfield
is. most emphatically, President in
every sense of the word, and each and
every head Of Department tattendS-and
is expected to attend-strlCtly to the
business Of that Department, and that
and to that alone" (Mr. Window
spoke the above sentences very earnest.
" and evidently with much feeling.)
"Does not what you have just said
dispose OF the story that Secretary
Blaine brought about or dictated the
nomination of Mr.. Robertson"
(Nery deciledly)-"lt certainly
docs"-then after Il thoughtful pause
"My information and my belief is that
Mr., Blaine was IL 10 way responsible
for the nomination of Mr.. Robertson y
CHOW will the New York Custom
house be run under the new regime,
Mr.. Window? Will there be an ele-
ment Of the machine about it?''
(Emphatically)-"N0, sir. The col
lectorship under Robertson will be run
on strictly business principles, and will
not he used as an instrument to build
up or break down-perhaps support
and 'antagonize' would be better
words any faction in the party.
The reporter next made several in
Quiries relative to the Conkllug resjgna-
ton, which Mr.. Window declined to
answer, but To the question, "ls the
President or his Cabinet taking any
part in the Albany contest" he replied:
81 am satisfied they are not in any
way
"What effect will the election or defeat
of Mr. Conkliug have upon the issue be-
tween President Garfield and that eN-
StnatOr"'
81 am not aware that there is any
issue between the President and Mr..
Conkling President Garfield, in the
exercise Of his constitutional right,
noui nated Il Collector of the Port Of
New York, and the Senate-almost I'M
anilnously--confrmed that nomination.
How there can now be any issue grow
ing out of that subject am unable to
perceive"
"What, in your judgment, will be
the effect Of the appointment Of Mr..
Robertson upon the Republican party"
This is matter OF prophecy to
which am not quite adequate, but 1
own to the strong impression that a
party that has conquered great rebel
lion: has carried this nation through a
period Of hard times, and promoted the
credit oftne United States until it stands
among the iirst--no, | will not say
among, hut first, with the nations of the
earth, viii be able to stand the shock
even Of the appointment OF a Collector
of the Port Of New York" (Here the
Secretary smiled almost inaulibly and
said sub voce, " I'm tired hearing this
talk about the Republican parry being
broken up.")

peoples money, ,and would prove an en-.
tire failure,as it would destroy the navi-
cation of the Christiana River, and the
fine harborit now affords. 1t was then
decided to run the Betsey Ann back to
her mourings in Shellpot bay, and from
thence at an early day, start out on an
inspection of the other proposed routes.
After great exertions upon the part of
the engineer and pilot, the Betsey Ann
was slowly pushed out stern foremost
from the mud in which she had so soon
become deeply embedded, and in a
half an hour more she safely lay at
anchor in the Shellpot bay.

GAS RIVALRY REFUSED.
ADVERSE REPORTS FOR THE
NEW GAS COMPANIES.
The Wilmington Coal Gas COmpa-
ny Gains the Day and Council
Prohibits Competition.

The session of the City Council, last
evening, was almost wholly devoted tC
discussing the gas question. Only a
small amount of business was transact
ed, but plenty of talking was INDUCED
in. Hafpast nine o'clock had arrived
before all the reports of the Street Com
nittee (the first committee to report
had been acted upon. Consequently
Council was compelled to adjourn be-
fore one-third of the regular business
had received any attention whatever.
The Street Committee reported adj
versely upon the petition of the Union
Gas Company, asking for permission
to lay gas pipes in the city.
A motion to adopt the report was
made, but it was amended by Col. Taylor
who suggested that further conSidera-
ton OF he matter be laid over until the
fourth meeting night of the present
month.
Mr. Robinson asked Mr.. Taylor to
explain why he desired to have the re-
port laid over.
Mr. Taylor, in reply, said the ques-
ton was one which should be discussed
and, being of so much interest to the
citizens, should be laid over for further
consideration.
Mr.. Townsend stated that the petition
had been in the hands Of the committee
for some time, and that the committee
had received considerable information
upon the subject.
| The motion to postpone the consider
alton of the report did not prevail.
Mr.. Townsend, in order to show the
prices for which the Wilmington Gas
Company would furnish gas, presented
the following letter, which was read
Wilmington, Del. June, 1881.
TO THE COMMITTEE ON STREETS:
Gentlemen:-I am authorized by the
if they are permitted to have the ad-
vantage Of the increased consumption
of gas in the city by being protected
from competition in its manufacture,
they will agree to supply consumers
from the whole line Of their pipes, after
the first of July next, at Sl.50 per NJ.
cubic feet, cash, and the corporation
buildings tSl.2J, so long as there is no
very great advance in the price of coal.
Very Respectfully,
G.. RICHARDSON, Pres.
Colonel Taylor said he could not see
why there should be no competition III
the gas business. He did not object to
the price, but he did to the cost. 1t
costs, said he, as much to light the City
Hall rs it does the Clayton House. He
knew of thousands of citizens who
asked the Legislature to incorporate Il
new gas company.
Mr.. Townsend submitted the prices of

Mr.. Townsend submitted the prices of
raS in other cities as follows :

Mr.. Rodney said he intended to vott
to sustain the Street Committee because
of the following reasons First, he ob
jectcd to having the streets torn up anC
then repaved in worse condition thar
they We're in before; second, he objected
as q matter of interest to the public
health; third, the present company
really has competition from the low
price of coal oil; fourth, the prices of:
tered by the Wilmington Company art
the lowest in the United States.
The Street Committee was then sus-
tanned by the following vote: Ayes
Messrs. Adele, Blake, BarnhiIl, Beecler,
Bailey, Carmichael, McMenamin, Min
ton, McKenna, Moore Paynter, Robin
son, Rodney, Shaw, Smith, Townsend,
Talley, Denney, Lawrence and Presi-
dent Sharpley.-20. Nays - Adams,
Col. Taylor and Merris Taylor-3.
The Street Committee reported ad-
versely upon the petition of the Da-
mond State Gas Company, asking for
permission to enter upon any street, road
or highway in the city to lay pipes or
any conductors for the purpose of manu-
featuring and distributing gas and other
substances.
A motion to adopt the report was
amended by Col. Taylor, who suggested
that further consideration of the matter
be laid over until the last meeting night
of this month.
Merris Taylor thought the unseemly
haste of u number of CounCilmen to
adopt the report of the Street Commit
tee was absurd. The committee, he said,
did not come to any decision in the mat
ter until the night previous, and then
they wanted their report adopted with
out offering reasons. He dared the
committee three or four times to let the
matter rest week.
CHALLENGING VOTES.
When Col. Taylor again arose it was
the signal for every councilman present
to swing around in his chair and gaze
in astonishment. He stated that a
member of the board of directors of the
monopoly (meaniug the Wilmington
Gas Company was on the floor, urging
the adoption of the report. President
Sharpley asked Col. Taylor whether he
(Taylor) was not interested in the new
gas company. In reply the colonel
said he was not directly or indirectly
interested in the company. He had per-
mitted, he said the use of his name as
one of the incorporators, but, said he, if
it was necessary he would explain why
he had done so. He contended that
President Sharpley had no right to
challenge his vote, and, becoming very
indignant, he asked in stentorian tones:
''Did l challenge Mr., Paynter's vote on
the question of repaving Fourth street
with Belgian block, or did 1 challenge
Mr.. Abele's vote upon the same ques-
tton?" Then, turning toward the large
man from the Seventh Ward, he said
"I do not intend to challenge The right
of Mr.. Talley to vote upon the ques-
ton of the road 20 the river.
Mr.. Talley then arose and stated that
he was not Interested in the road 20 the
river. Mr.. Taylor said that Mr.. Tai
ley's father was interested. Mr.. Tslley
denied the assertion, but Mr.. Taylor
still persisted and said that the senior
Mr.. Talley was heavily interested in
the river road question. In conclusion
Mr.. Taylors aid to President Sharpley;
