Bayard Opposed to Garland - Mcdonald

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.- Senator Lamar's
trip to Albany, where he is now, gives en-
phass to the assurance that he is to be in
the cabinet, but in what position be may not
yet know himself. 1t is not believed that
Mr.. Cleveland knows. He seems to want

place him in the postofiice department.

that Ti!den recently wrote letter
to Gov. Hoadly, in which he said
that President Cleveland would
select his cabinet from fourteen names, then
on his slate. Included in this note but
very far down, was the name of George
Hoadly. 1t is evident that there are infu-
ences operating against the selection of
Senator Garland. Bayard, who is to be
premier, is not hearty in his Endorsement,
and it is believed is secretly plotting to
KEEP GARLAND OUT.
II is now limited that Garland is in too
close bonds OF friendship with Senator
Edmunds, and that If the Arkansas senator
takes the department of justice Edmunds will

bringing to tue front Of Senator Jackson ,one
not having the variety of legal attsinments

perhaps unjustly so. The friends of Mr..
Mcdonald are less hopeful than ever. He
seems TO have dropped out of sight. The
studied effort to dwarf his prospects by bring

DEFEATING THE INDIANA MAN,

would place an ex-confederate in control of

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The senate to-day
passed bill authorizing the attorney general
to bring suit in the United States courts OF
Iowa to determine the proprietorship OF the
lands along the Des Moines river granted for
improvement Of that stream, and now
claimed by parties living on them as having
been forfeited to the government By the i'm
provement company to which they were
granted The bill has not passed the house,
but possibly may slip through, as the house
has in former session passed similar bill.
The defeat Of the motion to take up the
river and harbor bill is believed by many to
be the death-knell of that measure.
The cabinet continues to be the principal
subject Of discussion. Gradually the lines
are drawing closer, aud if Bayard, and Gar
land, and Thurman, and Villas, and Man
ming, and Lamar, are SIX of the seven,
here viii be a good many disappointed peo-
pie when the list is announced.
There is quite scramble TO see the pro-
cession on the 4th Of March. It is intimated
that there viii be 80, ,00O men in line, and Of
course it is to be a scene witnessed on ace

avenue is filed with seats, for which 81 OF 81

PARIS, Feb. 23.-An eye witness to the
proceedings of the congress of Fenian dyna-
miters held in Paris to-day, says: ''Around
the table were seated eleven delegates to the
long-talked-of convention. Two of these
represented the Irish revolutionary
party in Great Britain, three
extremists reported from the United States
of America, two from Ireland, two from the
continent and the two others represented the
Irish Invincibles. Thirteen Fenians sat
behind the table against the wall These
were prohibited from taking part in the
debates. A Russian Nihilst stood in one
corner of the room in company with the
manufacturer of dynamite, who was present
for the purpose of arranging for the
sale of his explosive wares. Every
person present was armed with revolver
and in readiness to shoot any detective who
might interfere with the proceedings of the
convention. The meeting was called to
order by a man who was called Knil, but
whose real name is John Morrissey, Il native
of county Carlow, Ireland. An individual
named Hannery was appointed re-
porter of the congress. Several let
ers of apology for absence were read, all
expressing bitter hatred for England. Knil,
rising to speak, was greeted with three cheers.
He referred to the past work and future
achievements of dynamite, and invited the
delegates present to discuss means which
would lead to the end of England's evil gov
ernment OF Ireland. The remarks of the
chairman were greete d with cries of ''down
with Englandn' Long live dynamite!''

DR.. Days Opinion.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 23.-In response
| to a request for frauk expression of opin-
ion and for like suggestions of defects and
possible Improvements, the postmaster at St.
Paul writes the civil service commission as
follows
81 am greatly relieved of opportunities for
place, especially Of a disagreeabe kind,
where worthless, incompetent, political bum
mers were put forward by political influence.
''The capacity and character of those ap-
pointed after competitive examinations
under the rules have been fully equal to, if
not better than, those appointed by the post
master before.
Those appointed under the law have
proved competent. and have been faithful
and diligent in their duties thus far. No ac-
ton has occurred requiring their discharge,
or even serious discipline.
''The effect upon the moral tone and busi-
ness efficiency of the Office has unquestion-
ably been good; so also has it been upon the
public whom they serve. The letter carriers
who secured their places by open, competi-
tive examinations are better received by the
public than are those appointed simply by
the will Of others.''
He says that since 1875 letter-carriers and
clerks al his office have, by the discipline Of
the Office, been relieved from political as
sessments, and there has been no marked
change under the new law in that respect.
He says that on coming to his Office in
1875 he became satisfied that no competent
service could be secured under the old sys-
TEN Of appointments, and he required all ap-
pointees to enter at the lower grades, the
higher being gained only by promotion.
Those in his Office now occupying the high
est places entered at the lowest, and for ten
years the incentive for promotion has been
kept before the working force of his office
and its effects have been admirable. In
the state of Minnesota there has been but
one who has taken the limited examination
under the civil service rules and that one a
female. Her age was Is years and she had
received an education in the common
schools and was passed. Twelve have taken
the general examination, eleven males and
one female. The average age of the twelve
persons examined was 81, five of them had
been educated in common schools and five
had taken g course in academies and two in
college. OF the twelve only nine passed the
examination, one female and eight males.

The Oregon Mix.

SALEM, Or, Feb 23.-Gov. Moody said to-
day that he thought he had a right to be in
dignant at being placed in a doubtful and
perplexing position through the neglect OF
the legislature to do its duty. He had not
yet carefully examined the law, and so had
not definitely determined what his duty in
this emergency was. "But," he added, 81
think that l shall appoint. This much
however, is certain. I shall not appoint a
senator until there is vacancy, which does
not occur unt til the 4th of March. 1t would
be impossible for any man whom l could
name at that time to arrive in Washington
to attend the short executive session, so un-
less the new president calls an extra session,
there will be no need of a senator until De-
cember. 1 will be in.no haste to fill the
vacancy"

A SCIENTIFIC FIGHT.
Charley Mitchell Gets the Better of Scholes in
Contest at Toronto.


TORONTO, Ont, Feb. 23-The glove con-
test between Charley Mitchell and Jack
Scholes came off tonight. About Ii, 900
persons were present, including Lieut.. Gov.
Robinson of Ontario, and many prominent
citizens Mitchell and Scholes were
greeted with round of applause. Both
seemed in excellent condition. The match
was under Marquis of Queensberry rules for
scientific points, four three-minute rounds.
At the call of time both men jumped to their
feet. After little sparrng Mitchell got in
two or three clean hits and Scholes was
bowled over. He quickly sprang to his feet
and some fine exchanges took place, when
time was called In the second round Mitchell
made some vicious blows at Scholes
and one or two took effect. In the third
round Scholcs tried to force the fighting and
had the better of MS opponent, getting in two
or three good hits When they rose for the
fourth and last round it was evident Scholes
was getting used up, and that Mitchell's
superior condition would tell in his favor in
this round. Several clinches took place. Nit
chell at one time having Scholes bent over the
ropes. Mitchell forced the fighting and won
hearty applause by his grand display Of science.
At the call of time the crowd cheered and
congratulations were showered upon the
contestants. The referee announced his

being taken into consideration: First
round, Mitchell points, Scholes 6. Second

tend the Neutrality.
BERLIN, Feb. 23.-The Congo conference
held four hours session to-day. DIR. Busch,
eign department, presided. Short speeches
were made by delegates from America, Eng
land, France, Germany, Italy and Portugal.
The speakers highly lauded the African In
ternational association, and especially King
Leopold, until recently president of the asso-
citation. Kasson, the American minister,
withdrew his proposal to extend the neutrality
beyond the Congo basin. Sanford the other
American delegate, withdrew his Vivi
railway proposition, stating he had
advocated the scheme solely for the benefit OF
the African International association. The
friendly feeling evinced by the powers, how
ever, furnished every reasonable guarantee
regarding communications necessary to de-
vclop the commerce on the upper and lower
Congo. Perfect unanimity prevailed among
the delegates regarding the text Of the final
acts. Turkey had slight point Of differ
ence with Italy, but the matter was event
ually smoothed over. Two small ad-
ditional amendments proposed by
Sir Edward Malet were carried.
The final act was then accepted. 1t only re-
mains now for the final act to be printed on
parchment for the signatures of the dele
gates. The last session will probably be held
Thursday. 1t is expected Bismarck will
preside. The powers not represented in the
conference will be allowed to give their ad-
hesion to the act If they so desire. Turkey
is the only power represented in the confer
ence that now has no treaty with the African
International association.

The Swain Trial.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The secretary Of
war this morning received the record of the
second court martial case of Judge Advocate
General Swain. 1t will be sent to the presi-
dent for action, and afterwards the results in
the two cases and also the Morrow case, will
be promulgated from the war department
simultaneously. 1t is generally understood
that the second Swain trial resulted in his
acquittal. The council of the accused, while
having no official information on the sub
iect, has not the slightest doubt that such
was the case. The sentence of the first court
is as much a mystery as ever.
