As measure OF future party safety democrats
OF New York city are discussing the question of
separating national and local elections They have
become satisfied. by years OF experience, that
trading cannot be prevented when the two cleo
tions come together. The city and county patron-
age Is OF more value to the local factions than
federal offices. and hence in the bitter contest be-
tween rival organizations for supremacy, the
presidential ticket is invariably sacrificed for local
power. This desire to control city affairs was so
strong with some Of the bosses that ut the recent
election, Cleveland was traded off By the faction
which had done most to secure his nomination.
The singular spectacle was presented Of his enc
mics within the party staunchIy supporting him to
the detrment OF the best interests OF their organ
zation, while men OF the county democracy ruth
lessly traded him off for votes for Grace their can
dldate for mayor. The most prominent democratic
managers now admit that but for the unwavering
support OF Tammany, Cleveland would have been
beaten But even within the democratic party
there Is strong opposition to the plan to separate
local from national electiOns,-to hold them at DIFF
ferent times. 1t is urged that without the incen-
tive OF national contest the voters would not
turn out and the city would be controlled by few
smart bosses 1t is to be presumed that the repub-
heans Will antagOnize the scheme, as Ii would
deprive them of the best facilities for dividing their
enemy in his stronghold, and their opposition,
aided by the antagonistic democratic element, may
defeat the whole plan.

CIVIL SERVICE.

Secretary Chandler Refuses to Accept the
Clerks Assigned by the Commission.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IA few days ago Secre-
tary Chandler made requisition upon the Civil
service Commission for nominations for d va
cancy in the clerical force of his department,
and, in response, the commission certifedto him
the names of four persons from which to make a
selection. This afternoon Chandler returned to
the Commissioners the nominations sent him, ac-
companied by a note, in which he stated that
having carefully inspected the examination pa
pers of the four persons whose names
had been certified to him, he had
reached the conclusion that none of
the candidates had, upon examination, shown
sufficient intelligence to give promise of filing
the vacancy in his department acceptably. This
action of the Secretary raises an interesting
question. 1t has not yet been considered by the
Commissioners Commissioner Thoman said to-
night that the persons whose names We're certi-
fed to the Secretary passed fair examination
before the Commission and in certifying them
all the provisions of the law and civil-service
rules had been fully complied with In his
Judgment no other certifcation of names will be
made to the Secretary under this requisition

ing the Glass blowers Association, have ar
rived to testify before the House committee on
labor and eudeavOr to secure legislation to pre-
vent the importation Of foreign laboreTs under
contracts.
hr. Robertson, of Pittsburg. member of the
G1ass-hlOwers Association, appeared before the
committee this afternoon. He suggested that
such amendments he offered to Representative
Foran's bill to prohibit the importation of foreign
contract laborers as would allow manufacturers
to import foreigners for industries
established in this country until American me-
ehanics could learn the new trade. MIR. Robert
son said. by the recent revision OF the tariff man
ufacturers of green glass bottles secured an in
crease of duty of about 100 per cent. Prior to
the revision 200 coo gross of bottles were import
ed annually. but since the new tariff law had
gone into effect there had been no importation
He said shop 1.-TWO men, foreigners make
fifty dozen bottles a day, for which they receive
S cents per dozen, and the same number
of Americans make eighty dozen at
13 cents. The witness opposed the cut
ting of prices, and said the work
OF the American was much superior to that OF the
foreigner. He understood that the glass manu-
facturers were preparing to import more foreign
laborers under contracts. Mr.. Robertson said
the workingmen OF the country were looking for
be governed by laws rather than inaugurate
strikes.
Representative Hopkins chairman of the
committee on labor, IN an interview. said that
the workmen of the country are opposed to any
reduction Of the tariff and especially horizon
tai reduction. and he of the opinion that the
committee of which he is a representative,
would oppose any such measure that might
come from the ways and means committee

Damage at St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-Two slight movements of
ice in the harbor, this afternoon, resulted in
breaking hole in the hull of the small stern
wheel steamer Maggie, lying near the bridge,
and sinking the GAINESVILLE Packet Companys
wharf boat lying at the foot of Carroll street A
derrick on the steamer John B. Maude was
thrown down, and falling on the hurricane roof
damaged it few hundred dollars. Between
and tonight a more general movement was
made, and so far as can be ascertained at this
writing, all the ice between Chain-of Rocks
about seven miles above the city. to probably
Carondoet six miles below the city, has run out
but no additional damage to any river craft is
reported. Several valuable steamers and num-
Der of barges are lying the between sectional
docks and the arsenal two or three miles below
the bridge and these may have suffered damage
Reporters Just from the lower part of the city
give the following casualties caused by the ice:
The steamers Matte Belle, Fanny Lewis, Alex
Mitchell and Dora, and the towboat A j. Baker
were pushed out on the bank, but the Mitchell
and Dora were pulled into the water again by
tugs The towboat Alps had big hole stove
in her hull, and has a large amount of
water in the hold The Dora lost nearly all her
starboard guard. One barge belonging to the
tow-boat Dolphin was sunk. None of these yes
sells were of any particular value, and the loss by
the break up so far as known, is quite light
None of the Anchor lines property was damaged
Ice is freely running through the harbOr again,
and it is now believed the movement is general
from the lower part of the Missouri river to
Cairo. Seamboatnen say there will be seven to
eight feet of water at Cairo when the ice has run
