After carefully reading Wards statement he

An EARNEST DISCUSSION AT THE LAKE MO
HAWK CONFERENCE


LAKE MOHAWK, n Y, October Sat the
session last evening of the Mohawk conference,
after the reading of Miss Fietcher's paper, brief
but earnest remarks were made by Commits
sioners Smiley, Lyon and Whittlesey, of the
indian board, in defense of the honesty and
enlc1ency with which the annual supplies are
purchased for the Indians. Commissioner Lyon
said that, OF his own knowledge, no wholesale
merchant In the country purchases his goods
as cheaply as the government does. The bid
ders have learned that the competition Is
honest, the lowest responsible bidder always
receiving the award, and as the government is
quired are offered at prices below the ordinary
wholesale market prices. Miss Fletcher ex-
planned that she had not the slightest thought
OF rejecting on the honesty Of the government
agents who furnish the annuity goods. Her
design was simply TO show that those goods,
the distribution of which helped trade, were
Quirements. while the appropriations for edu-
cation and for agricultural improvements
were millions Of dollars behind the treaty re-

LONDON, October 9.-Every one to-day is dis
posed to take an alarmist view of affairs in the
east. The Servian minister says the situation
IL very serious. The alliance of the three en-
perors has compromised affairs. King Milan
declares that he will wait only fourteen days,
and then he will take steps to restore the equi-
lbrium. The impression is general that the
meetings of the ambassadors have not accom-
pished what was expected. The Turkish mill
tary preparations are, however, directed against
Servia and Greece. Russia is reported anxious
to give the throne of Bulgaria to the Duke of
Cumberland. A leading Servian statesman
writes: 1--WE are advised to keep quiet but if we
do Bulgaria will get everything. Then Bulgaria
plause of the European powers. The Balkan
peninsula is resuming the appearance of nine
years ago. Old war cries are heard on all sides.

comes from President Cleveland himself. He
has ordered that nothing shall be made public
In any OF the departments that will be men,
toned in his report to Congress-. The object of
this is understood to be to prevent any state
ments being made or conclusions drawn by the
subordinate officials which might be in con-

The idea is to have democratic face put upon

The Omce.seekers' Little Game.
HOW THEY TRY 1.-THE FLEMING RACKET" A

Ahe O"Ces8eekefS' Little Game.
HOW THEY TRY '1THE FLEMING RACKET" AT
THE WHITE HOUSE.
The Presidents recent letter to the friends of
Judge Fleming, in which he wrote that he was
SO pleased with the demeanor of the Judge when
denied an office for which he had applied that
he (the Presidency subsequently sent for him
and rendered him the judgeship, has been q
matter of serious consideration, 1t seems, among
the numerous applicants for office. In the let
ter the President very plainly !ntimated his
distate for what are known as ,kickers." he
Fleming, who did not consider that the demo
cratic party was disrupted because he was de-
MED office, so impressed him that he subse-
9ue9tly sent for Fleming and voluntarily Of
fered him the judgeship. The letter is said to
have had a very quieting effect upon the nu-
merous applicants for Office and to have toned
down their expressions wonderfully. "Why,"
said frequent visitor to the White House to q
STAR reporter to-day, 'you never saw such
complacency as now prevails among office
seekers. Some of them actually try to make
the President feel that in denying them ap-
pointments he confers the greatest possible ia
vor. The fellows who are ready to take any
thing are working hard to play the Fleming
racket on the President. But I guess he sees
through the game"

THE ELABORATE WORK GOING ON TO PROTECT
THE MONUMENT-TwO HUNDRED POINTS TO
GATHER THE ELECTRICITY AND GOLD-PLATED
RODS TO CARRY 1T OFF.
The lightning rod tips and the rods to which
they are to be fixed, intended to protect the
Washington monument from lightning have
arrived from Philadelphia, where they were
made, and are now being placed in position on
the roof of the monument The construct ton of
scaffolding around the roof was timed so that it
would be in readiness when the rods should ar
rive, and there will be no delay in the work ex.
cept that caused by bad weather. The appa-
seven hundred and four feet of triangular cop
per rods plated with gold, to encircle the roofin
the horizontal points; two hundred feet of cir
cular copper rods, also gold plated, to extend
along the four corners of the roof, and one hun.
dred and seventy-twO lightning rod points. The
latter are three inches long made of copper and
gold plated, with the exception of half inch ut
the end, which is of platinum. These one hum
dred and seventy-twO points, together with
those erected Immediately after the monumen:
was struck by lightning, make two hundred
points in all, nearly covering the roof of the
monument. In the opinion of the eminent
scientists who made the recommendations these
precautions will protect the monument from
lightning In the future, although it is possible
that this unmanageable power may find q way
yet open for damaging the structure.
