New YORK, March 20. Hubert o. Thomp-
son, the big County Democracy boss, re-
turned from Washington last evening, and
likewise the Tammany delegation. The lat
ter followed Thompson to watch his move
ments. The Tammany people say that, re-
gardess of whether they get any share of the
public offices or not, they are satisfied with
Mr.. Cleyeland's course and will support him
as long as he continues it. Boss Thompson
will not talk, but his friends
will. One of them said: "All talk that the
colectorship is settled or that this or that
man has withdrawn is nonsense. There are
no new candidates or no Withdrawals. The
vacancy does not occur until June 21. Its
consideration has not been taken up at all
by the president or
his ADVISERS.
1t is in complete allegiance. The presidents
presest attention is wholly directed to reor-
ganiZing the departments and bureaus. The
leading foreign missions will then be taken
up, and after that local vacancies in the pub
lie service, as they occur. The proper geo
graphical distribution of patron age
is being carefully observed. You
notice that after the cabin ct
state had been determined Illinois, Ken
lucky, West Virginia, Michigan and Penn
sylvania have each had recognition. There
will be no one forgotten. There are long
heads at work at this thing in Washington,
and when they get in snarl Bill Scott or
Smith Weed comes over to Greystone for ad
vice. The Democratic national committees
men are being referred to.

think Hewitt secured his appointment rather

''How does it come that nominations are
so slow!" was asked.
"There is no sense in his piling up nomi-
nations on the senate table. You will see that
as rapidly as nomin nations are acted upon

dred dollars salary of clerk. He offered a
resolution that Van Wyck's resolution be
rescinded,. and asked that it be referred TO
the committee on the improvement of the
Mississippi river. Sen ator Vest said that it
was not his purpose to become participant
in the very interesting domestic discussion
on the Republican side of the chamber.
Senator Van WycK was like boy who par
ticipated in the murder of his father He
saw that the old man was about to be beaten
to death and as he could not help it thought
he would give him lick to help him out of
his misery. For twenty-five years he (Ves)
had been an intimate personal friend of one
of the members of the South American COM
mission, and his record, public and private,
was as stainless and
FREE FROM REPROACH
as that of any public man could possibly be.
The man who charged in his (Vest's) pres
ence that Thomas c. Reynolds had, by ex-
travagance or otherwise, wrongfully taken
one cent of the peoples money made state
ment which he WesU contradicted absolutely
and unqualifedly. He was in Costa Rica,
and was performing his functions in man
ner so satisfactory that the new secretary of
state had said that he regarded him as one
of the best officers in the service of the gov
ernment. ''Two men and boy" the sena-
tor from Nebraska had said. The boy was
nearly fifty years old, had been the editor
of one of the leading papers in Chicago
and had rendered valuable political services.
Gov. Reynolds would be compelled soon to
return to this country by reason of the illness
Of a near relative, and he WesD challenged
the senator from Nebraska to go into this
question after his return. Senator Van
Wyck disclaimed any personal reflections.
He had made his remarks with respect to the
com mission, and not respecting its members.
He interpreted Vests challenge as
THREAT,
and said that he would be ready to repeat
his statements. Senator Hawley inquired
whether Senator Van Wyck knew enough
about the details to Justify him in attacking
the honorable gentleman who had always
stoodas high as he (Van Wyck) could ever
hope to stand. Senator Van Wyck replied
by reiterating some of his previous state
ments. The Alaska resolution was referred
to the committee on territories. Senator
German offered resolution directing the
secretary of the interior to furnish
the senate copies of the contract entered into
between the Union Pacific Railroad company
and other railroad com panies affected by the
act of July, 1882, and the Western Union Tele-
graph company, together with all statements
now on file in the interior department touch
ing upon the same. 1t was adopted.
The senate in executive session ratified the
additional article of the Mexican treaty ex-
tending to May 90, 1856, giving time for the ap-
proval of the laws necessary TO carry into op-
Grafton the commercial connection between

A PRACTICAL JOKE.
Serious Sequel to the Franks of Merry

Serious Sequel to the Franks of Merry
Makers.
From the Providence Journal.
On a recent Sunday young married cou-
pie of this city visited the home of the lady's
parents in East Providence and remained
during the day. During their absence few
of their intimate friends planned a surprise
for them. The furniture was displaced, a
night-dress was hung upon the clock and ev-
erything was done to make a scene Of disor-
der The jokers eagerly awaited the return
Of the unsuspecting couple. The lady pre-
ceded her husband into the house and lit a
match. The Pickering fame lit up the scene
and displayed TO her startled gaze the disor-
dered condition of the room. Her eyes
quickly fell upon the white object near the
clock: the startled shrek she uttered brought
her husband bounding into the room. In a
moment she was struggling hysterically. he
vainly endeavoripg TO bring her to her senses
and allav her fears. Her heartrending cries
brought the practical jokers trembling into
the room, and they gazed with bianched faces
upon the terrible result Of tkeir foolish act.
It was evident that something serious had
happened, and DR.. Hibbsrd was hastily sum-
noned. He found, upon examination, that
the shock had caused the rupture Of blood
vessel in her head, the result being similar
to concussion Of the brain. The lady since
then has fingered between life and death, but
she Is now deemed 70 be in fair way OF re-
coyery. The feelings Of the perpetrators Of

scribed. Suffice II to say taat the act to them

DUBLIN, March 2O.-Bishop Donnelly is
reported to have been summoned to Rome.
The National leaguers are much irritated
over the report On March 10 the Catholic
central conclsve Of this arch diocese nomi-
mated three candidates to succeed Cardinal
McCabe in the archbishopric. OF these
Bishop Donnelly is the second choice. The
other candidates are DR.. Welch, president of
the Maynooth college. and DIR. lyman. The
names were sent to Rome and it was hoped
that Welch would be selected by the vatican,
because, in addition to his great strength
and virtue, his political leanings-the doctor
being moderate Home Ruler-have endeared
him to great majority of the Catholics of
Ireland. Bishop Donnelly is Loyalist. The
Nationalists fear he has been chosen for
McCabe's place, and look upon this as an
other instance Of the ascendency of British
influence over the pope.

Assistant Secretaries Fairchield and Coon
and Assistant Treasurer Graves. The COM
mission will commence operations at once
and their labors will continue for several
weeks or possibly months. The investiga-
ton is Instituted on the supposition that the
treasury force is too large and that its man
agement is defective in many respects. The
principal idea is to simplify the general sys-
tenn and management, to avert the duplica-
ton and repetition of work by different Of
fees. The commission is the best that could
possibly be selected for the purpose in the
treasury department.
