COL. LAMONTs SUCCESSOR.


Col. I'm. g. Rice Who tras Trained in the
School Of the Sage of Gromercy Park.
Albany Corr. OF the n. Y Telegram.
To be only 2S years of age, yet at the same
| time by date of commission to be one of the
Oldest colonels in the service of the State of
New York would seem to be incompatible
conditions; yet both are filled by Colouel
William G. Rice, the young man who, by
Gov. Hills appointment, succeeds to
the arduous duties which Col. Daniel s.
Lamont has just laid down. Colonel Rice,
it is needless to say, did not win his title on
the field of battle, but it came 10 him eleven
years ago from Governor Tilden. Colonel
Rice belongs to the school of young Demo
Gratis of which Mr.. E. X. Apgar, Colonel La
mont and General Charles Tracey, in Albanp
and Mr.. Francis Lynde StetsOn and Mr.
Charles Dayton are representatives in New
| York-young men who were trained in the
school of the Sage of Gramercy Park, and
are the leaven that lightens and WHITES the
sodden lump of Democracy in this state
| Governor Tilden took fancy to young Rice
while he was a cadet in command of a com
pany of cadets in the Albany academ, and
| out of the fondness which the old man al
ways cherished for young men made him AS
sistant Paymaster General, with the rank of
colonel. In this position he was retained by
| Governors Robinson, Cornell and Cleveland,
regardless of the political change made from
time to time in his superior. When Gov
ernor Cleveland came to Albany Colonel
Rice was taken into his SIN all official family,
and, with the exception Of Colonel Lamont,
| Colonel Rice has probably stood in more in
| innate relations with the President elect than
| any of those who have been officially con-
nected with him Colonel Rice has for years
| been repository of the inmost secrets of the
| great Tilden machine, and like Colonel La
mont he is Sphinx concerning them to all
| the outside world.
OF course, during these years he has been
brought into close contact with most Of the
| men who mould Democratic politics in the
state, and he possesses, in addition to this
personal knowledge of men, the same tact in
| judgment OF them that his predecessor pos
sessd. Governor Hill has, in fact, secured
for private secretary another Lamont in Il
condition of full development. In Albany,
where he is well-known figure in society,
| Colonel Rice's appointment is warmly com
meuded. OF course Colonel Rice is a bache-
| lor, as bachelors are having their innings in
national and state politics at present In
| brief, this new secretary and old colonel is
equally at home in paying Off the state
troops in camp at Peekskill, in talking
politics with the old heads of the party, in
whirlng a belle through the intracacies of
crowded ballroom or in pointing out defects
in legislation that is to come under execu-
| tive scrubbiug.

A Quiet Day In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-In the senate the
naval bill was taken up. Senator Mcpherson
favored the building of larger cruisers than
provided for, and on the suggestion of Sen
ator Miller California;, without objection by
Senator Hale, the limit of maximum of ton
mage for two new cruisers recommended by
the senate committee was made 5000 instead
of 4, 900 tons.
The amendment offered bv Senator Hale
was agreed to appropriating s1i2, 900 for the
purchase OF Ericson's torpedo boat Destroyer,
with this exception the bill passed substan-
TALLY as reported from the senate committe
on appropriations.
Senator Van Wyck called up the bill pro-
viding for the sale OF the Sac and Fox Indian
reservation In Nebraska and Kansas. After
a short discussion the bill passed and the
senate went into executive session.
Wnen the doors were reOpencd pension
bills originating in the senate were taken
up and number of them passed. Some
other minor business was transacted and the
seuate adjourned.

KreidIer Laid over.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The senate spent
an hour in executive session to-day in con-
sideration of the nomination of Edward A.
Kreidler of Montana to be United States mar
shal of that territory, vice A. c. Botkin to be
removed. Botkin is from Wisconsin and the
senators from that state oppose the confrma-
ton of his successor. No action was taken.
The point was made in debate that the nomi-
nation of Kreidler was due 20 the influence
of the first assistant postmaster, Gen. Crosby,
who was supposed to have grudge against
Botkin. kredler's case was laid over on
motion Of one of Kreidler's friends, who
said he would have to examine the papers in
the case. Botkin's friends are confident he
could have laid the matter over until March
5 If he had so asked.

RIOToUS SCENES.
The Carpet weavers in Another Riot

Inc carpet w edNtfS announcer GlOI.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27.-The riotous
scenes in the Kensington carpet mill district
were repeated tonight. The crowd Of spec
tators, which before has never exceeded
5000 people, was increased to 10000 to-
night. The mayor had determined to break
up the riots and nearly five hundred
officers were sent to the scene OF the disturb
ance. Mayor Smith and Chief Of Police
Stewart both were present. When the first
detail of officers arrived at LedOm's mill 1t
found the street literally packed with people.
After the other detachments arrived double
line vas formed, aud working each
way they forced the crowd back for
auare on each 81 dc of the mill. As
the detail was being posted at each end of
the street thus cleared, a crowd of men broke
through the lines and attempted to reach the
mill door from which Cameron, the loom
fxer, was expected to come. The police,
With drawn clubs,
CHARGED on THE CROWDS
and succeeded in forcing them back beyond
the lines. During the encounter many per-
sons we're dubbed aud FIVE arrests
we're made. Five special officers in
citizens dress drew up to the mill, and Cam
eron run ming quickly down tue steps min
gled with them. They sauutered down
Howard street, with Cameron short distance
ahead, their object being to deceive the
crowds. They were successful only as far as
the police were concerned, for when the line
Of policemen al Daupbiu street was reached
several officers rushed upon the specials
and their charge, aud were about clubbing
them back when they succeeded in making
themselves known. When Cameron and his
escort reached Otis street, the crowd was so

Gov. Hubbard Declares the County Treas
urer's Office of Clay County Vacant.
Special to the Globe.
MooRHEAD, Mimi, Feb. 27.-State Ex-
aminer Knox arrived here this morning and
took charge of the Office of the county treas
urer. After looking into the affairs as much
as possible on hurried examination, with
concurrence of the board of county commits
sioners in session, he telegraphed Gov. Hub
bard that Johnson acknowledged shortage
of 81, 200, and requested the governor to
telegraph removal, so the commissioners
could appoint treasurer ad interim to re-
ceive taxes now awaiting payment.
About noon johnson deposited in favor
OF Clay county q certificate of deposit
from the Bank of Fargo for 81, 500, which it
is understood was furnished by johnson IS
brother. Later in the day johnson deposited
S400 more, thus making up the entire de-
tciency according to his acknowledgment.
Whether any further deficit exists is not vet
known. Late this afternoon q telegram was
received from the governor, supposed to be
removal, as Johnson i'm IN ediately resigned.
The commissioners appointed Hans P.
Strate treasurer, the vote being three for him,
one for B. F. Mackall and one for 0. W.

HUNTING EVIDENCE.
A Consignment Of Cattle Ocer the Northern
Pacific BeinD LooL;ed Up.

A Consignment of Cattle OcsT the Northern
Pacific Being LooIsed Up.
A gentlehan from Western Dakota was in
the Northern Pacific Office yesterday seeing
about some cattle of his which
were shipped by two other men
to point east on the Northern Pacificyline.
The case is one Of extreme interest to cattle
men, and will serve to put damper on the
pilfering business in the West. The gentle
man explains that last fall he was in the East
and on his return he discovered that num-
Der of his cattle were missing.
He at once set to work to find
out what had become of them,
and after a time was fortunate
enough to discover a clue. He followed up
the slight pointer he had obtained and has
now found out that two carloads of cattle
with his brand on them, had been shipped
by two different parties. The evidence is
now almost sufficient to convict the Grimm
ais. One link in the chain of evidence is,
that the hides of the cattle, with the brand
still upon them, have been found; the par
ties who stole the cattle having sent the hides
east for fear of being detected. The crime
Of pilfering in Western Dakota and Montana
is a heinous one, and with the criminals the
law deals harshly. Developments OF the
case are expected in a few days, which will
make interesting reading.

Messrs. James, Thomas and McComas
severely criticised the sundry civil bills for
the provisions which it contained relative to
public buildings, and asserted that while the
districts represented on the appropriation
committee had been well looked after, the
districts of ''ordinary'' members Of the
house were disregarded.
Mr.. Payson said that as Mr. Horr was the
only member of the appropriation commit
tee who had not been provided Tor $50, 900
should be given him to be expended in his
district
Mr.. Randall replied that the remark was
unjust, as there was not dollar in the bill
that went to his (Randall's) district.
Other members of the committee on appro-
priations in two-minute speeches justified
their action, and attributed the com plants
not to what was in the bill, but to what was
not in it. As one gentleman ceased and
another rose there were shouts OF NEXT"
with sarcastic suggestions that each member
of the Appropriation committee be allowed five
minutes to explain his conduct

Mr.. Willis moved to suspend the rules and
put upon IFS passage the bill appropriating
5000, 900, to be expended under the direc-
ton, and with the approval OF the secretary
of war for the continuation and completion
of works designated in the last river and
harbor law. The bill contains the following
provisions. That work at the Galveston
harbor shall be treated as If the sum of
$3.50, 900 had been appropriated by the bill
last year. Any money which shall be allotted
under this act for the improvement of the
Mississippi river below Cairo Except so much
thereof as shall be necessary to prevent
works in progress from waste and injury
shall be expended in continuation and COM
pletion of works in Plum point and Lake
Providence reaches, to the end that the plan
commission for the improvement of the river
may be fully tested, and the money allotted
to the Mississippi river shall be
expended by the secretary of war, and in ac-
cordance with plans approved by him. Mr..
Willis briefly explained that it had been
thought best not to allow present works of
the govern ment to go to waste and ruin on
account of lack of appropriations. For this
reason he had, after consultation with num-
Der of gentlemen, brought in the bill appro-
priating S5,000,000, or one-scventh the
amount which the corps of engineers had
stated could be profitably expended during
the ensuing year. The bill was submitted as
a ompromise, because he knew that dis
cus.ion of the regular bill would consume
valuable time and might endanger the pas
sage of other appropriation bills and cause
an extra session. Messrs. Hiseock, Can
non and Miller opposed the bill and Messrs.

Queer Peopre in Washimnton.

Letter in Boston Traveller.
There are lots Of odd people around Wash
iugton both in high and low circles. There
is one man in particular, pleasant, elderly
man of genteel address, who Is seen at all
the big houses on gala occasions, and yet the
stare tie hostesses give him when he enters
would imply that he had not gone through
the necessary formula of being invited. He
sails along though, very calmly salutes his
acquaintances ia the incest, quietest way,
and If he sees any lady looking temporarily
lonesome he goes up and offers his escort to
the dining-room. At the supper table he is
an undoubted success. He displays the
rarest good judgment in selecting the dainti-
est bits for himself, and encourages his
neighbOrs to do likewise, making himself so
perfectly at home that stranger would take
him for some one especially in the hostess'
favor, and would be inclined TO place him
self or herself directly under his wing. But
that would be a mistake quite as dreadful as
it is TO seem too well acquainted with hand
some young widow who swOOped down on
society this winter, but of whom none are
able to state her history. II this mysterious
old man, and the equally mysterious young
woman, would give an account Of them
selves, they would lay society under many
obligations. As it IS, there is funny talk
a1o4t about entertaining angels unawares.
To come down step, there is another queer
character in the person Of poorly clad old
woman, who walks briskly up the curved
pathway to the White house every evening
at about 6 o'clock, comes up the two or three
steps on the pOrtico, bows her head as she
passes the big front door, goes down the
other path and tnat is the last seen OF her
until she repeats the same proceeding the
next eveping. Sometimes a half-grown girl ia
with her, but generally she is alone.
