Delay in Filling Vacant Places Giving
Great Dissatisfaction.
Says Washington special of January
29th: ''The complaints of Congressman at
the extraordinary slowness of the admin
istratiOn in filling vacancies are increas-
ing. A number of important offices have
been vacant for many weeks. In some of
them, as in the case of the District AttOr-
ney at Chicago, the incumbent is not au-
thorlZed under the law to hold over. There
is a vacancy. The officer whose commits
sion has expired is only serving as an am
IcuS curl9. He is not authorized to act.
The courts, If they should follow the ex-
ample Of Judge Wylie in this city, under
exactly the same circumstances, would
adjourn until an appointment is made.
Judge Wylie, by taking this course, un-
doubtedly caused an appointment to be
made earlier than it otherwise would
nave been, as the courts of
justice were absolutely stopped for no
reason than chronic procrastinatiOn on
the part of the Executive. There are
also number of important post offices.
the terms of whose incumbents have ex-
pred, but under the law the incumbents
are entitled to act until their successors
are appointed and qualified. For many
months the United States Judge in one Of
the Territories has been suspended from
Office on the charge Of drunkenness, but
he has neither been tried nor has a sue
cessOr been appointed. There is another
Judicial vacancy in Territory caused by
death, and no one has been appointed to
the vacancy. There has been for several
weeks vacancy in the Eighth United
States Judicial Circuit, but Congressman
who have interested themselves in secnr-
ing a successor are unable to obtain in
formation as to the time when he will be
appointed"

NJ Ferry, continuing his argument, said
that II dld not appertain to the govern
ment to find solution of the labor prob
lem, but rather to private persons. Real
reforms consisted in liberty, in individual
INITIATIVE and in foresight, The State
ought to aid the private Initiative,
but not become its substitIte,
Ihe government should suppress
inequalities weighing upon the working
men and leave them free to discuss the
question of wages, hold meetings and an

tlon OF this programme of social foresight
mad been applied and would be continued
without weakness or fuss by the deputies,
VINO were not charlatans to gain popu-
Iarlty. M. Ferry's speech was received
with cneers.
NJ. CLEMENCEAU IN REPLYING
to NJ. Ferry, said that crushing taxes and
hlgn rents caused the sufferings of the
Worklhgmen. The remedy was an alliance
between the Y9Ek kip fateg and the deyeI-
opment of public instruction and liberty.
NJ. CIemenceau attacked financial feudal-
ism and maintained that the State ought
TO protect Workingmen. He said that the
social question would be one of the is

THE TELEGRAPH CHANGES.
Jay Gould Says They VIII Not Interfere
with Western Union

The extension of the Baltimore and
Ohio Telegraph Company. by the pur-
chase of the National system from New
York to Chicago along the lines of the
west Shore and Nickel Plate roads did
not appear, says the New York World. of
Jan. 81; TO have any influence on West
eTh Chlon tuesday, and the stock closed
snghtly higher than on Monday.
The report that the Baltimore and
ONO is about to be Sold to or consoIi-
dated with the Western Union and tbat
the appointment of Mr.. D. H. Bates rs
President of the Baltimore and Ohio. and
the purchase Of the National line were
but preliminary steps in the scheme of
aIaalgamatlon, were emphatically denied
by Mr., Bates.
Mr.. Jay Gould was asked what effect
the new move of the Baltimore and Ohio
would have on the Western Union.
=. None, whatever" he replied. ssThe
line over the Nickel Plate from Buffalo to
Chlcago has not paid expenses; besides. I
understand, that there are legal proceed
lngs affecting the title of the Nickel Plate
line, SO that the Baltimore and Ohio Get
very little for their money, and the effect
on the western Union amounts to absO-
lutely nothing"
On the other hand the belief on the
street is that Western Union is mo
longer to enjoy a monopoly of the tele-
graph business. Not only has the Balti-
more and Ohio entered into active CONNIE
tition with 1t, but the Bankers and Mer-
chants' also is engaged in extending its
lines. President A. W. Dimock is absent
from New York now negotiating with two
or three railroad companies for the pur-
chase OF their telegraph franchise.
Inc amount paid for TIE National was
$sOO,0O0, $4O0, 900 each for the West Shore
and Nickel Plate lines. OF the amount
pald for the West Shore line, a large part
was received by Receiver Green. of the
North River Construction Company.

payment will relieve the construction

Will use 1T for its freight business. The
rent is $4,000 a year.
The ''shOrts" were given another
squeeze by Jay Gould Tuesday, and higher
prices were the order of the day. 1t is
SAID that Vanderbilt is a silent partner in
the syndicate which relieved the 80. t.,
OIL lts embarrassment. The report is that
W NOerlShOtier had almost concluded a
similar arrangement with the so. To-
when Jay Gould heard of it. and stepping
