How Investigations are Smothered
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-A movement is
being made in the three principal depart
ments of the treasury, interior and post
office, which has for its object large num-
ber of dismissals among the clerical force
In justification Of this it is said that Off
cials, to whose attention cases of suspected
wrong-doing in their bureaus have been
brought, are feeling themselves handicapped
by Republican clerks in subordinate posi-
tions. A high officer of the treasury de-
partment, in speaking OF this sub
ject, to-day said: 1.-The reference of papers
to these clerks for investigation and report
places the clerks in possession OF the move
ment of the enemy, a position which they
are quick to take advantage OF. 1t affords
them an opportunity to inform interested
parties outside of the department that an
investigation threatens, and it is easy to see
how valuable and important such warning
must be to guilty parties. The great
trouble experienced by Democratic officials
in authority" continued this gentleman.
sis that they stand at the head of their bu-
reauS with no subordinate upon whom they
can rely should they desire to conduct an
Investigation. They must either examine
books OF files in person OF delegate the
work to Republican clerks who. if they are
not directly implicated, are hand in glove
with Others whose positions ard characters
are at stake. Any one who has noticed
how quickly prospective investigation is
whispered through department will APP
preciate the difficulty under which the new
officials labor.

Coming New york Contest.

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, May 29.--Col. J. R. Eel
lows of New York says there is an excellent
feeling among the Democrats of all fac
tions and the general disposition to unite
and support the administration 'sBut, he
says, ''it is too early fol any action
campaign too long. They are not doing
anything and don't intend to yet awhile,
but the Democrats are sure of the state.
Both parties are utterly at sea about their
candidate for governor The Democrats
have not turned toward anyone as yet, and
the Republicans are just as far from deter.
mination. Among the Democrats Hill is a
candidate, and there are Flower, Corning
and several others. ''How about
Whitney and Manning?" "Neither would
he be candidate. l have no more idea
that Manning would accept the nomination
for governor than he would accept coun-
try postoffice Whitney has declared him
self and it is not likely that he has changed
his mind. The convention that nominated
Cleveland for governor wanted at first
to nominate Whitney, but he would
not have it. His election was
assured if he had accepted
the nomination. and that made him the
more determined not to accept. He did
notiwant to be governor. If the party had
been in tight fix he might have felt bound
to help them out, but as soon as Folger
was nominated Democratic success was
assured, and there was no necessity of his
sacrificing his inclinations. Now neither
Whitney nor Manning will enter the con-
vention.

Iowa Pool Percentages.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, May 29.-The percentages of
the Central Iowa pool were made public to-
day as follows: Rock Island, new per-
centage 40, old 81; Burlington, new Is, old
IS; Northwestern, new Is, old 16; ST. Paul,
new Is, old Is; Wabash, new Is, old IS.
The Rock Island gains per cent. and the
others lose per cent. each with the excep-
ton of the Wabash, which remains station
airy. Like all other awards
this new one does not give
unqualified satisfaction. The Rock Island,
Notwithstanding its gain, expected more,
basing its claim on the fact that its average
haul in the pool has been 81 per cent. of the
total traffic. The ST. Paul divides it's per-
centage with the diagonal and will probably
submit to the reduction of per cent. with
out murmuring, as will the others, they
reaching the pool points by the side of
leased lines. The percentages are in force
April 1, 1885, to January, 1886, and the
arbitrator's award is absolute and without
appeal until that time

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The president

salary from 5000 to $4,000, have hecome
vacant. With one exception the Offices are
all within the civil service classification.
The secretary has decided not to fill any Of
the vacancies in question on the ground that
the interests of the service do not require it..
This decision will result in an annual saw

the end at Council Bluffs distance of

two miles per hour. This, for the
great distance traversed, is the best
freight time on record, and beats the Union

some weeks ago by three hours. Consider

mails had to undergo, they looked wonder
fully fresh and are in good condition out

were unloaded at Omaha, and there offered
to an operator, but the number was rather

were preferred against Chief of Police
Harrigan, and that officer was suspended,

money, that he has caused the arrest OF
persons without proper reason, and done
various other irregular things. Maj. Harri-

Wear of ST. Louis spends good part of his

exploration of Yellowstone park by docu-

leases in bewiIdering confusion, and the srl-
perintendent must be thoroughly posted re-
garding the various interests over which ne
is to exercise supervision. Mr..
Wear was presented to the president
by Senator Cockrell. Mr. Cleveland
said that the position of superintendent of
the National park was considered very re-
sponsible one The administration was de-
sirous of preserving in good condition this
great reservation with its game and natural
curosities. eff you don't take good care

WASHINGTON, May 29.-It is some way
off, but signs of the times now indicate
that Mr.. Carlisle is not to be elected
speaker of the next congress without a
contest. 1t is true Mr.. Randall is not to be
candidate, but the plan is to antagollize
him with Southern man. Carlisle was
originally elected by two interests, first by
friends of those who sought to have bill
passed to extend the bond period on dis
titled spirits; second, by combination of
the free traders and low-tariff men in oppo-
sition to the protectiOniStS. This was q
secondary consideration. IL developed.
however. that in thus elevating Mr.. Car
Isle the friends OF the
TWO COMBINATIONS
found out they had bitten off more than
they could chew. Randall stood in their
path. He proved to be stronger on the floor
than the Kentucky speaker was in the
chair. The result was the bonded bill was
not only numerically beaten, but the tariff
also, and i'll its defeat Mr.. Morrison fell by
the wayside as leader and Mr.. Randall
took his place in a house which had defeated
him as its presiding officer, These results
naturally brought about discomfort,
and before the session closed
both Carlisle and his lieutenant.
Mr.. Morrison, had lost their grin. The
two prime purposes for which the house
had been organized had failed. In the
formation of the committees of the house
Mr.. Carlisle disappointed some of his most
staunch defenders. Taking advantage of
the discomfort, a movement is now quietly
being made to unite upon some Southern
man as
MIR. CAR1IsLE'S COMPETITOR.
If the man has yet been selected his iden-
tity is well covered. The plan is, by such
tactics, to divide the Southern vote
by having two candidates from that
section and aiding Carlisles contest
ant with the votes of Pennsylvania.
New York, Ohio, California and New Eng
land. There are those who think Mr. Car
Isle could thus be defeated and there are.
others who think that the administration
will lend a helping hand. To anticipate
the rampant free-trade element, Randall
will have tariff bill ready to offer in the
house the very first day Of the session.

MILWAUKEE, May 29.-Ex-Senator
Window, of Minnesota was in the city to-
day for few hours. AS to the rulnor that
he was to succeed Senator Mcmillan in
1887, Mr.. Window had little to say. He
did not expect to be candidate. In regard
to the government offices, Mr.. Window
said he anticipated clean sweep of
all Republicans? The cleaning out might
be delayed for year or more but it would
come. Referring to the business outlook
the ex-senator took rather pessimistic
view. At the East he said there is no i'm
mediate prospect of Improvement and
everything is stagnant There is plenty
of money waiting for investment
at least S6O,OO0,O0O being held by
Eastern capitalists but they are very dis
truStful and hesitate about investing in any
of the schemes now offered. One cause for
this disgust is the growing idea that the
coinage of silver dollars might lead in the
end to premium on gold, followed by a
financial panic. There is, however, no
cause for alarm on this point at present.
