to Keep the AlmshOuse Going.
BosToN, April 30,-The Governor, in ac-
knowledging the consent of the State Board
of Health to take charge of Tewksbury, says
he proposes to furnish money to carry on
the almshouse until the Legislature can
make the appropriations But he will
neither furnish it, nor permit it to be
furnished, if it is to be expended by the
present superintendent. He calls the atten-
ton of the board to the fact that they can
appoint officers only with his consent, and
as he has not consented to the appointment
OF the present officials, he does not propose
to allow any bills to be contracted by them
Referring to the custom of the Assistant
Attorney general to sign opinions he sug-
gests that number of customs may have
been dlstasteful to the people of the State,
and possibly may have had something to do
with the change of political sentiment

of impotence when Irish malice is driven to
such paltry expedient, which, if tried,
would only injure its adopters. The lesson
for Great Britain is to ignore Irishmen, and
abandon all hope Of bringing them to a bet
ter frame of mind by continuance of un-
merited favors. They have already con-
vinced the rest of the world that they are un-
fit to have national independence, and they
must be made to feel the strong hand of the

Viscount Bury, replying to the toast 'The

because he would not award surveying con-

Secretary Teller, upon being asked by an
Associated Press reporter, tonight, whether
he had received letter from Senator Hill.
of which the above is an outline, replied thai
the letter had just been brought to him, but
he had not had an opportunity, as yet, to
more than glance through it. He did not
desire, at present, to make any statement for
publication with regard to the matters there
in referred to. He understood Mr. Hill had
arranged to give his own letter publicity by
furnishing copies of it to number of corre-
spondents but whether it would be
worth while for him (Mr. Teller)
to give equal publicity to his re-
ply was subject he had not
yet considered. He would, he said, read
Mr.. Hills letter carefully tomorrow and
give it such attention as it seemed to him to
deserve.
AN INTERVIEW WITH SENATOR HILL.
Senator Hill said, tonight, IN response to
inquiries, that he had written Secretary
Teller the letter above referred to because, in
the first place, he thought the latter had
treated him with great discourtesy. Not
long ago he had had, he said, a private inter-
view with the Secretary upon matter OF
business, and had been hurt and provoked,
few days later, to find an alleged account
of this interview in st. Louis paper, an
account however, in which his (Mr.
HilPs) conversation was so distorted
and unsupported that he was placed
in false and despicable light.
For this distortion and misrepresentation
as well as for the publication in any form Of
what took place in a private and confidential
Interview, he believed Secretary Teller to be
responsible, and he did not propose to in
definitely submit to this sort of treatment
The Secretary's connection with the recent
newspaper attacks upon Mr.. Hill could, he
said, be easily traced. Another reason for
writing the letter to Teller was that he (Mr
HilD knows many things about the manage
ment of the Interior Department of which
the public is ignorant, but with regard to
which it should be informed. Some of these
things he had set forth in his letter As for
the patronage of the Interior Department, he
did not himself wish to control it or exercise
any undue influence in the selection of en-
ployes, but he thought he might reasonably
expect to be at least consulted with regard to
appointments and removals in Colorado.
Mr.. Teller, however, had thus far exercised
the functions of Secretary of the Interior,
two senators and representative from Col.
orado, and he (Mr. Hill) thought this was an
unwarrantable assumption of authority.
