'eTHERRs NOTHING in A NANE.'
How Mr.. Cleveland and MT. Hendricks
Sought Office in Vain.

From q Washington LETTER.
There is something in name after all,
Mt least with the present administration
A man named Cleveland, who claimed TO
be a cousin Of the President, was well in
dorsed as candidate for the Postmaster
ship at Quincy, III. His backing was very
good, and the residents OF Quincy sup
posed his name would be sufficient to
carry him through, even without any in
dorsement
The President did not know whether
this Quincy applicant was n cousin or
not, for be had never heard Of him before,
but so as to be on the safe side he appoint
ed another man 20 the place The Presi-
dent does not intend that he shall be
charged with filling Offices with his rela-
tives. There is u similar story connected
with the appointment of Israel Law ton az
superintendent of the Mint at san Fran
cisco. which was made to-day. All along
there has been but one applicant
for the place. gentleman named
Hendricks, whose strong point, he inhg-
ined, was his name. lie is nephew Of
Vice President Hendricks. There were
lot Of CalltOrnians who wanted the place
but they did not take the trouble TO iile
an application for it, for they were sure
tgat Mr.. Hendricks would be appointed
But il appears that Nice-Presldenl
Hendricks would not put himself
ON record In favor of MS nephew
or even ask for his appointment.
Judge LawtOn arrived here seV-
eral days ago, and was an applicant for
another place, that OF Assistant Treas
urer at san Francisco. He was asked 81
Withdraw his application for that place,
and told that il he would file il for the
position Of Superintendent Of the Mint he
would receive the appointment. The sug-
gestion was accepted and Judge LawtOu.
who is in Albany visiting some relatives,
was telegraDhed to today Of his appoint
ment. Mr.. Hendricks, like Mr.. Cleveland,
was badly LETT.

THE NEW CRUISERS.
They are Expected To he More Successful
ThSn the dolphin"

From the Neto York star.
In view of the many defects in the
Dolphin, as reported by the examining
board, the question arises whether the
three cruisers, the Boston, Atlanta and
Chicago, which are in course Of construc-
ton by John Roach, will be open 10
similar criticism. 1t is the opinion among
naval officers that these will prove TO be
good vessels in every sense of the word.
a 3 a reason for this opinion 1t is stated
that the advisory board were much better
qualified TO design cruiser than dis
patch boat, and that there will be but
little, il any, fault to find with the designs
of the cruisers. 1t there are any detects
in the construction Of the vessels 1t ia
thought that MIR. Roach will have ample
time TO remedy them, and Will take adj
vantage OF the criticisms on che Dolphin
TO prevent any similar ones being made
when the vessels are completed. one OF
the chief defects in the Dolphin as re-
ported by the eNaming board was lack
OF sufficient bracng OF her machinery.
such defect can be readily avoided, it IS
sand, in the other vessels.
In view OF the numerous newspaper
paragraphs rs TO the probability of the
abolition OF the naval advisory board II
may be stated that the board was abOi-
ished by act Of the last Congress 80 far
as any future construction OF vessels is
concerned. Their duties terminate with
the completion OF The cruisers which are
now in course of construction, and they
will have nothing to do with the building of
the other vessels which was authorized.
II is within the power of the Secretary OF
the Navy 10 change the members OF the
present board at any time he may see hit.
or in the future to establish another board
with, however, less authority and power
than the present board possesses. That
IA court 0finquirywill be ordered TO investi-
gate the proceedings of the advisory
board in connection with the cOnstruc-
tion of the Dolphin is regarded as very
probable.

A FIsHY STORY.
A Congressman Required to Make Oath

from a Washington Special.
A curious scene was enacted at the
Post Office Department the other day.
Congressman Dougherty, of Florida, has
been asking for the removal Of the Post
master at Jacksonville ON charges Of
partisan record, the official in
question having left his post Office
aud gone out through the state
making Republican speeches and as
sisting in organizing the state for the
marty in the last election. IL Was on this
sort OF ground that Mr.. Dougherty sought

some time ago, be visited the Postmaster
General the other day ~ ask II he bad de-
cided 10 remove him. "NOt yet" be an

Aren't the charges sufficient TO war

master General. Il can't say that an

SOME CAPITAL POINTS.
Blaine as "a Dead DuclS-A False Mar
tyr-Frightening the Clerks.

From Washington Special.
A friend of Mr.. Blaine's said to-day:
You may be sure that Mr.. Blaine will
never again be candidate. He believes
that his chances are exhausted. Do YOU
know" said be, that Blaine has "A queer
belief about his future based upon the
marked similarity in the career of Henry
Clay and his own? Early in life both
went from their native States TO Ken
lucky. Both entered public lite az mem
bers Of their State Legislatures. Mr.. Clay
WAS Speaker of the lower house IN Ken
lucky. Mr.. Blaine filled similar posi-
ton in the Maine Legislature. Mr. Clay
was member OfCongress afterwards and
served as Speaker sixteen years. Mr.
Blaine was also a member OF the House
and served as its Speaker six years. Mr.
Clay was first elected 10 the Senate from
Kentucky to fiji a vacancy. Mr. Blaine
was appointed ~ the Senate, but also to
fill vacancy. Mr.. Clay resigned his seat
in the Senate TO accept the Secretaryship
Of State from John Quincy Adams. Mr.
Blaine resigned Senatorsbip to become
Secretary Of state snpdeE Garfield. Nj.
Clay was three times tue candidate for the
Wing nomination, He was twice defeated
in convention. He was finally nominated
| Polk. Mr.. Blaine was beaten twice in
the national conventions, nominated in
the third one, and WIS defeated by Grover
Cleveland. Mr.. Claws letters on the
Texas question are held to be parallel
in their evil effects upon the writer to
some of MIR. Blaine's letters. The AbOli-
tiOnlsts in New York in lS4i threw their
vote 10 Birney aud thereby gave the State
to the Democracy. IL is claimed that last
year, if it had not been for the votes given
to st. John, Blaine would have carried
New York. The vote of New York decided
the election in favor of the Democrats in
1874 and again in 1884," Mr.. Clay was
never "A candidate after his final defeat,
and il is believed by MIR Blaine's friends
that he will never again be presented 10
the public as a candidate. The parallel
between his career and that Of Clay's Will
probably remain unbrOken.
FRAUD EXPOSED.
Some days ago Sixth Auditor McCOn-
vile recommended the removal OF GER
tain clerk on the ground of incomDetency.
Not desiring to injure the clerks chances
for employment elsewhere, the cause Of
his discharge was not given out. The
clerk, il is said, reported that his only
Otfense was I'm cheering for Jim Blaine In
the department the day following the
November election. Since that he has
been passing as a martyr for his loyalty
TO Mr.. Blaine. This sounded very nice,
but the sequel ruins IT,. Mr.. McCOnville
says he never heard Of the cheering trans
action until after the clerk had been re-
moved. He also says that he has since
ascertained that the clerk la question was
absent from the city about election time,
and. consequently, could not have been
heard in the post Office building.

mistakahly to me. Poor Col. Haldanel What
does it mean?"
Thinking again Of the shaven head and the
bOmbardment Of Alexandria, she sighed a little
pensively and little compassionately. and
returned to the drawing-room just in time to
escape the entry OF Mrs. Danvers. whose forest

down beside Col. Haldane in the recess, with q
deep blush of mortified confusion.
"Does that account for the presence of the

Col Hadane. 'Gave me an opportunity that
