WASHINGTON, March 23.-The old aphorism
that ''few die and none resign" met con-
tradiction to-day in the death of Mr.. Edwin
Clark of Mississippi, recently appointed as
sistant secretary of the interior. Mr.. Clark
died at the rooms of Secretary Lamar, whose
guest he has been since his arrival here
day or two after his appointment. MIR.
Clark, in i'll health reached this city
from his Vicksburg home. He soon
took to his bed with an attack of
typho- pneumonia, from which it was
thought he was recovering, but relapse set
in Saturday. Mrs. Clark arrived from Mis-
sissppi and was with her husband when he
died. Mr.. Clark was about 40 years Of age
and an intimate friend of Secretary Lamar,
who feels deeply this unexpected shock. An
appointment to succeed to the vacancy will
be made at an early day. Ex-Representative

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 23.-Ex-Sena-

He says the reason he refused the Russian
mission was because'h was not asking for
an appointment ami he did not want any.
1n answer to question regarding the ad-
ministration he replied: 'Mr. Cleveland's
idea is that the administration OF public
affairs should be based upon the strictest
principles of efficiency and economy,
and these views will govern him in
the matter of. appointments, While
his policy may not meet with favor from the
office seekers, it will, l think, have the cor
dial support of the leading men OF the party,
such as Randall, Carlisle and others although
personally their views may differ somewhat
from those of the president. To a certain
extent this civil service reformation is eX-
perimental and we can't tell whether it will
work out altogether satisfactorily or not.
But have no doubt that the administration
will have the support of the party In it, and
the affairs of the government Will be eco
nomically and effectively manaSed''

Two Children Roasted Alive

ITHACA, Mich, March 23.-On Saturday
night in the northern township of this city,
two young children of George Spooner were
literally roasted alive. The father was absent
at work in the lumber woods and the
mother had gone calling during the evening,
having put the children to bed. A good fire
was left in the kitchen stove, and it is sup
posed the Goals fell on the floor, causing the
confagration. The flames were discovered
but the men were unable to extinguish them.
After repeated efforts, however, the children
were got out, but they were a mass of sick
ening flesh and burned almost beyond recog-
milton.

RANDALL'S POWER.
A Daily Visitor at the White House-An
Candidates Have His Brand.


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Mr. Randall is
the great man in Washington just now. He
went into the postoffice department the other
day and the heads of division clerks and
even the messengers crowded around and
insisted upon SHAKING hands. The reception
lasted half an hour. On Saturday Missouri
congressman went up to see the secretary of
the navy and the messenger in charge
whispered to him, "You can't see Mr..
Whitney just now. Mr.. Randall wants
him" Mr.. Randall is a daily visitor
to the White house. He usually calls late in
the afternoon when the president is alone.
He does not send his card like other visitors,
but first calls upon Private Secretary Lamont,
who ascertains if the coast is clear, and then
admits the great Pennsylvania to the IL
brary by way of the cabinet room. 1t has
come to be a current saying in Washington
that all successful candidates bear the brand
of 'S. j. R." A stamp on the undercloth-
ing will not enable the office seeker 10 pass.
The talismanic initials must be ''blown in
the bottle,'' so to speak. This is discOurag-
ing to late converts.

ton of Cleveland's recognition of Mclean

eral opinion seems to be that McLean's in

The Central and Union Pacific Fiont.

The Central and Union Pacific Fight.
The result of the Central Pacifc's disturb
ance of transcontinental business will be of
less consequence to the Union Pacific than
has generally been supposed. Last year the
transcontinental business was worth to Union
Pacific s2,O00,0OO, or II per cent. of its
freight earnings, and z per cent.
of the gross earnings of the road.
Supposing it to be an impossibility
that the whole should be sacrificed,
the loss in net income would not amount to
~ per cent. on the Union Pacific road. But
under any circumstances the loss of its whole
transcontinental business by the Union Pa
citic would not be possible, and under pres
ent circumstances it would appear that Cen
tral Pacific is not able to do it much harm.
With communications by means of the
Oregon Short Line and Oregon Navi-
cation to San Francisco and Portland,
Union Pacific officials do not doubt that they
will be able to secure a fair share of the
Transcontinental business. But by the
Northern outlet to the Pacific coast, the
Union Pacific is hitting at the Northern
Pacific, and such an act is liable to cause an
other rupture in the Transcontinental. If
the present status of affairs continues, it
will be of interest for either the Northern
Pacific or the Union Pacific to secure the
lease of the Oregon Short Line.
