Lively ScFam BILE Among tho GndianianR
for Rounds Place.
WAsHINGTOH, May 1.-THE prospect
Of an early change in the Government
Printing Office is said to depend largely
upon whether Indiana people will be able
to settle upon some one candidate. There
are, or at least were, no less than four
candidates for Public Printer from that
State. AS these had been engineering
their respective boOms in private way
their indOrsers naturally clashed and
when three Of them came on to w Washington
they found they were spelling their own
chances. The President had not then
considered the removal of Mr.. Rounds.
The latter's administration OF the Office
has been without dispute the most sue.
cesstnl since the beginning, and Rounds'
friends, Democrat and Republican. were
strongly In hopes he might DO retained.
IL appears, however, that the pressure
for place is too much TO be successfully
resisted and some attention has already
been given to the merits of the respective
candidates. The President informed Mr.
Holman the other day that the place
should go to Indiana if the delegation
would agree on candidate. Holman is
for John II. StOll, the Indiana editor, and
the majority of the State are believed 10
be for him. State Senator Hildegrass, the
most Formidable rival 10 St0ll, was active
ly in up 70 a day or two ago. He left for
home yesterday, 1t is not known whether
TO give up the chase or not. There are
other men from other States who want 10
be Public Printer, but IL Rounds has to
go 1t is likely he will give place to an In
dianian

A Western Democrat Says the RascaIs
Must Move Out.


WASHINGTON, May IA Western
Democratic Congressman said to-day: Il
have been here three days, and | am ex-
ceedingly gratitied over the outlook for
sweeping change in Federal offices among
the States. Attorney General Garland is
thoroughly in harmony with toe Demo-
cratic demands. and will give us a new
deal on the marshals and attorneys.
Postmaster General Villas, learn, is will
ing to give a wide Interpretation TO the
rule of offensive partisanship, and through
him we shall work out our full list OF
post offices. Secretary Manning and
Commissioner Miller are agreed as to the
wisdom OF turning the Revenue COllec-
tors out, and, In fact. of reforming the en-
tire system of Internal Revenue Collec-
tors. Secretary Lamar is solid as a rock
on the issue of new men, and President
Cleveland will stand by his Cabinet.
Yes, sir; the rascals are all going.'"

GREELY's BROKEN HEALTH.
Promotion ProbRble-At Work on His
Report to the Government.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Lieut. Greely
Will spend the summer among the Berb-
shire hills Of Massachusetts. His health
is still poor, and he complains constantly
Of loss of mental vigor. He has been
engaged upon his report ever since his re-
turn to the United States, but his progress
has not been very great. An officer of the
Signal Corps says that there is
no attempt at cOnfning Lieut.. Greedy
to the rigid eXactions of military
regulations. He is permitted to do about
as he chooses. He works when he is in
the mood and takes brief vacation when
be feels the need of a change. An effort
Will be made at the next session of Con-
gress to promote Lieut.. Greelv to the rank
OF Major with the Understanding that he
be Immediately retired. 1t is believed
that Congress will grant this petition in
consideration of Lieut.. Greely's ruined
health and the fact that he will never be
fitted again for the active duties of his
profession.
HIS PROPOSED BOOK.
Lieut.. Greedy still adheres to his deter
mination to write a narrative of his eX-
perlence at the North pole. His friends
endeavored to dissuade hum from this
purpose by saying that 50 much time has
elapsed since his return that public in
terest In the matter has wholly subsided,
and that no one would now care to read
it. The proper time to have written
up his experience was Immediately
after his return. 1t is said that
a prominent Eastern publishing house
offered Lieut.. Greedy $25, 900 in cash for
such narrative, provided it were ready
for the press within ninety days after his
arrival in the United States. Lieut.. Greedy
refused to entertain the offer at the time.
He said that his first duty was TO the gov
ernment that had educated and main
tanned him. After this had been per-
formed he would study his personal in
terests. The offer was Withdrawn.
