NATION.
A story was published in the New York Sun
to-day on the authority of Frank Thoma, who
was formerly employed as bookkeeper in the
Sunday Gazette office, that he had received an
appointment as clerk in the Department of
Agriculture through Mr.. T. G. Morrow. editor of
the Gazette, but had no duties to perform ex-
cept to draw hs pay of 500 a month and give
it to Mr. Morrow He received the appoint
ment, he states, on July Is, 1884, from Gen
Carmen, then chief clerk, and continued TO
draw his pay until April eth last, just before
furloughed by Gen. Carmen. Subsequently, he
says, he was discharged from the employ of the
Gazette for some petty reason. Mr.. Morrow

and they had an interview in the presence OF
Police Lieutenant Arnold. Lieutenant Arnold
told ThOma, SO the latter says, that the letters
were his and he had right to keep them. The
papers referred to by Thoma are his appoint
ment as 81 200 clerk in the statistical divi-
sion, a letter from Chief Clerk Carmen to Mr..
Morrow enclosing the letter Of appointment
and requesting him to have Thoma report to
tue department, and another letter from the
chief clerk, dated April 9TH last furloughipg

Mr.. Morrow stated to a STAR reporter that it

but knew nothing Of Thomas duties there or
how well he had attended to them. Thoma
continued to take charge of the books of the
Gazette Office and had control of the cash. 1t
was true that ThOma turned over his pay to
him every month, but in the meantime Thoma
had drawn upon the cash of the Objective or
ten dollars at time-to the same amount. In

ST. PArI, MINI, Nov. 3o.-Gov. Oh Pierce.
OF Dakota, Is in the city. Interrogated yes-
terday In reference to Dakots's admission into
the Union az a state, Gov. Pierce said there
We're three things that might be done. The
nrst was the division OF the territory and the
admission OF the southern division a. q state.
ihe second was the division Of the territory
Into two distinct territories without the nd
mission OF either, and the third WAS the
admission OF the territory a state without q
DIVISION. The FIRST he considered possible;
the second and third probable. He ex.
pressed the belief that the residents OF
tne territory were generally In favor OF Q
uHiSion, the movement being more popular In
the southern division. AS q political move
Gov; Fierce thought that the division scheme
would be farorably entertained by the demo
cratic congressman. In this way the President
would be permitted 10 select double set OF
territorial officers. and the patronage would b
doubled He thought that n stroke OF policy
the oemocratic Congressman should pass bill
permitting division, rs I'm that way the demo.
cratic party would become more popular with
the residents OF a future state. The admission
OF Dakota as q whole would not give general
Satisfaction, neither section favoring such u
bill.
OF the prospects of his official future ne said
ne nad heard Numerous rumors about his re-
moval ever since the organization OF the demo-
cratic administration. but had not received
any official notification To that end. He waa
ready to go, however, and would not be sur
prised TO hear oil the appointment Of a successor
at any time.

and sickening sight was witnessed to-day ct the

been cut with n knife. He had a thin verte-
brse. The surgeon said the hangman was
sober and cool and collected when he sprung
the trap. Goodales death was almost instap-
taneous and was more mercful than by strang-
ulation. The jury rendered a verdict In &C.
cordance with the facts, attaching no blame To
the hangman.

The assumption by some of Mr.. Randall's
friends that Mr.. Morrison will oppose the propo-
sition 10 distribute some of the appropriation
Oils among other committees Of the House is
not we'll grounded. Two years ago, it is true,
Mr.. Morrison opposed such plan, but he was
guloed then by desire to act magnanimously
towards Mr.. Randall, who had just been de-
feated by Mr.. Carlisle for Speaker Of the House.
In an Interview with STAR reporter last even
ing Mr. Morrison said he considered, from the
experience of past years, that it is matter of
1mpossibility for any one committee to prop
cry 40 all the work now assigned to the COM
m my on appropriations, no matter whether it
nad Mr. Randall or some one else at its head.
w men the present rules were adopted, at the
BEGINNING of the Forty-sixth Congress, he voted
1or a proposition TO distribute some of the ap-
preparation bills, because he considered it the
proper thing to do. But when Mr. Randall had
been defeated for Speaker of the House in the
again agitated he advised against it and favored
giving the appropriations committee all the
powers and Importance it had ever held as a
matter of courtesy to Mr.. Randall. Since then,
he says, he has learned not to allow desire to
act courteously to an OPPONENT to prevent his
the appropriation bills are more than any one
committee can manage, and he will favor the
distribution OF part of them among the COM
mittees to which they properly belong.
In connection with the tariff question Mr.
Morrison said he thought everybody in the
party was pledged to a reduction of the tariff
ana ne did not see how the coming Congress
could avoid it. The party was pledged by it's
platform, and even the protection democrats
tthose who voted against his bilD gave as their
reason that the party was not in power. and
said wait until they got in power, then they
would do II; He is not welded to any particu-
lar plan. What he wants is to have the tariff
reduced as low as it can be and leave enough
revenue for the government. He does not care
whose plan is adopted, SO long as the desired
several bills, both general and special, since he
has been in Congress, having that object in
view, the last of which was the so-called "hori-
free list.''

The Pacific Coast Signal Service.
REASON FOR IT'S TEMPORARY SUSPENSION Of

Ine racine Coast signal Service.
REASON FOR IT'S TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF
THE WEATHER INDICATIONS
STAR reporter called at the signal office to-
day TO learn the reason for the sudden suspen.
sion OF weather indications on the Pacific
coast, and was informed that the suspension is
only temporary one. Lieut.. Glassford, of the
signal corps, who has been on duty here for
some time, will be ordered to san Francisco to
take charge of the Pacific coast division, and
until he reaches his new post indications there
have been suspended, but will be supplied from
here. Some time ago it was decided to make
the Pacific coast division by itself for weather
indications, and Lieut.. Craig who was sta
toned here, was placed in charge Of the divi-
sion, with headquarters at San Francisco. Not
a great while ago he was relieved from duty on
the signal service at his own request, with
view OF joining his regiment. His relief left
the office at San Francisco in charge Of signal
service sergeant, who continued the work. 1t
was found, however, that he was hardly ND to
the requirements of such important duty, and
1t was decided to suspend the Pacific coast indi-
cations until q more competent officer could
take charge of the work.

The District Debt.

CONGRESS TO BE ASKED TO HAVE THE GENERAL
GOVERNMENT ASSUME 1T.
81 understand that an effort will be made
this winter to induce Congress to have the fede-
raj government assume the debt of the Dis
trict," said citizen to q STAR reporter this
morning. 81 think that it certainly should be
done. The debt is over twenty million dollars,
which is an immense amount to be saddled
upon population of this size. But the main
argument in favor Of such q movement is the
increased revenues which then could be applied
to carrying on the improvements SO much
needed: The city is growing rapidly, and as
the capital of the country ought to be an orna-
ment, and 1t Is that now. But IT the 81, zoe, 600
now de voted to paying the interest on the debt,
ana the sinking fund, could be used in laying
out streets and other needed improvements, the
growth of the city would be more rapid, and
the ultimate realization of q great ana beauti-
ful city would be in the near future"
