Speclai 10 the GlODe
RICHMOND, Va, June 1.-The Malone
leaders in this state say they fully expect
the Republican senate will refuse to con-
firm all of the appointments made by the
president in this state to succeed Re-
publican officials whose terms had not
expired. SO confident is one of this class
of officials that this will be done that he has
declined to accept profitable position under
the state government, rendered him
recently. This officers successor has
been named by the president, but he has
not yet qualified. The incumbent claims
that his term does not expire for nearly two
years. He cannot believe, he SAYS, that
the Republican senate will, under these cir
cumstances, confirm the appointment of
his successor. Some of Mahone's most in
fuental leaders claim that the removal from
office of members of this party in Virginia
will not hurt him in the least and some of
them assert that the displacement of these
Republicans will in many cases work good
for their party. "Why," said one OF
MahOne's closest friends here to-day of the
so Republican postmasters in Virginia,
removed by the president, not 10 per cent.
OF them would have been relied upon by lis
to do any work in the canvass of this year
Every man Of them would have been nom
committal; now every one of them is good
for contribution of at least $40 to Mr.
Campaign fund"

me firmly to adhere TO these principles and
convictions in defeat as well as i'll victory"

Chicago PostoTgEce Change.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June POSTMASTER Judd en-
tered upon the duties of his office this
morning and Postmaster Palmer stepped
down and out. There Were no cere-
monies connected with the transfer of this
great pOStOffice from one master to another

the Otfice-seekers gathered in the lobby.

been at work counting the stock of stamps
and stamped envelopes, and yesterday the
inventories were verified and the
books made to tally with the
stock On hand. The value of
stamps on hand was found to be $191, 444
and receipts were made out for the transfer,
the only ceremony which marked the sign
ing OF these receipts by Mr.. Judd, work
which was soon accomplished. The re-
ceiptS are made out in duplicates,
one copy to go to the Office of
the postmaster general, the other to
be retained in Chicago Office. Nh. Judd's
first official act was to reappoint c. S.
Squires first assistant postmaster and to
appoint John H. Rea auditor to succeed U.
L. Upham. The positions are worth
50, 400 and $4,000 a year respectively.
The new postmaster was kept busy in
his private office during the forenoon con-
sulting the heads of various departments
and occasionally submitting to an interview
by an o11ice-seeker. Assistant Postmaster
Squires, who has become his own successor.
has been in the postof1ice for nearly quar-
ter of a century. Although a
Democrat he has retained his
position under various Republican
administration because of his great capacity
and recognized integrity. Col. Rea, Nh.

furnished reputation. He was formerly

pretty generally understood that ex-Gov.

quietly moved over TO Waterville, on Ed
mlInds' side Of the state, so as to be eligible
on the ground of locality, and the others
are thus quietly nursing their booms. The
struggle will be bitter one. Senator Ed

New YORK, June Hon. Abram S.
Hewitt was seen at the office Of Cooper,
Hewitt & Co. to-day. and said that he did
not think. the strike of iron workers in
Pittsburg and the West would affect
any interests in this city OF neighbor-
hood. The Amalgamated association Of
iron and steel workers extended over the
whole county, but it was only in the west
crn district that it was insisting on the
adoption of the scale submitted by its COM
4mittee to the manufacturers. Under these
circumstances the strike in the West
could affect the trade here only if
the market was in such state
that diminution of production would
cause an advance in prices. Asst was, with
falling market and capacity for iron
manufacture in this country much greater
than was required, the Western trouble would
not likely be reflected in the East. Mr..
Hewitt remarked that he did not blame
the striking workmen for opposing reduc-
ton of wages below figures they believed
themselves entitled to, but they were ILL
advised to strike during condition of trade
as now existed. and he was afraid that Suffi-
Gent pains had not been taken to inform
them of the true state of their employers
affairs.

The Scale ETnsattsgactorx

| PITTSBCRG, June 1.-The WOrkmen in
| the iron mills where the new scale has not
been signed went out on strike this morn
ing. Thus far ten of the thirty-eight iron
and steel mills i'll this district have signed.
but there does not seem 10 bemuch prospect
for the general resumption in the near fu-
ture. Among the iron manufacturers there
seems to be determined opposition to the
terms proposed by the union. If their ut
teranceS are i'll earnest the chances for a
speedy adjustment of the difficulties are ex-
ceedingIy slim. The alnalgamated au-
thorities apparently are not worrying much
about the outcome. although some of the
predictions have not been verified. They
still express themselves confident of coming
out on top III the present struggle. Two
firms signed the scale to-day. They were
Singer Nimich d Co., and Smith. Sutton
& Co. Their action has no particular sig
nificance as they work steel almost ex-
clusiyely. Secretary Weeks of the Western
Iron association received reports to-day
from every mill in the West. At o'clock
this afternoon he reported that the Russian
Iron company of Niles, o., was the only
firm outside of PittSburg that had signed
the scale.

Germans who have been residing in Russia
