the treasury has designated the collector of
customs, the surveyor, naval officer and ap-
praiser of the port of New York commits
sion to examine the question of drawback

Some Queer Features Developed at Wash.

ington-Gen. Rosecrans Wants
an Office.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, March 31.-A curious feat
ure of the struggle over the offices here is the
revival of local fights in different parts of the
country and making them feature of the
struggle here. Something has been said
already CT the fight between the factions of
Tennessee Democrats. The indications are
that majority who made the fight against
the "sky blues" year Or two ago
are beginning to wish the fight
had not come to the surface in
this ampagn. In point of fact, the presi-
dent seems to think the ''sky blues" are fell
lows who are entitled to a full share of the
honors and perhaps a little more. This is
only one of the state fights that have come
to the surface here. Californians were
divided into two factions, one led by Justice
Field, through the person of Jesse Carr, and
the other by Representative Henly. The
Field faction is called the 'chivs,' indicat-
ing the chivalry and monopolists, and the
Henly faction is called the 'shovs,' for
shovelry, indicating laboring and anti
monopolistic element. Both factions charge
each other with treachery to the party and with
in California. The war has been almost
personal one, examinations and recrimina-
tions being INDUCED in without stint. The
result of all this wrangling is that neither
faction gets anything. The president has
concluded not to make any appointments for
the Pacific at present. Rosecrans was the
only man the delegation could agree on, but
as to all others there is a hopeless division.
AS consequence the delegation has quit in
despair, and nearly all the members have
gone home.
Gen. Rosecrans who wanted to be secre-
tary of war is now willing to be architect of
the capitol. 81 am confident that 1 will be
appointed government architect said he.
81 know of no other aspirant who is better
fitted for the position, and l think my long
services as Democrat entitle me to the
recognition. l am the only man indorsed
by the California delegation for any office,
besides l have backing of a very large num-
Der of prominent Democrats from every Sec
tion of the country. l had talk with the
president to-day and think he will appoint
me.' The general is making a last ditch
fight for this Office, and the prevailing i'm
preston is that the president will Weld.

She Approves Brothers Principles.


WASHINGTON, March 31.-A paragraph to
the effect that recent lady visitor to the
White house who was expressing her delight
at the restoration of the Democrats to power
was stopped by one of the presidents sisters
with the remark that they were Republicans,
has had an extensive circulation. This
paragraph was shown to Miss Cleveland,
who is said to have responded
that their family had never been political
one, that their father was minister and
had not been in the habit of discussing pol
itics. He had thought SO little of politics as
to be several times puzzled when asked
whether he was a7Democrat or Republican,

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 31.--All Washington
is laughing over the course of the president
IN refusing to 90 to the New York Avenue
Presbyterian church, which is the "swell"
Presbyterian church of the city, and going
to the Little Church Around the Corner. 1t
is only another way Grover Cleveland has of
letting the country know that he has mind
of his own. He was evidently great deal
ANNOYED over the boom that the New York
Avenue church was getting up over
his supposed arrangement to at
tend there. His final choice
OF a little Presbyterian church brings to mind
some curious recollections of this church.
One of the results of the intense feeling
growing out of the war was controversy
which arose in the church on the question of
allowing Fred Douglass to speak there. In
1866 Fred Douglass came to this city with a
lecture which he had prepared on the assas-
sin of President Lincoln. Mrs. Senator
Wade Mrs. Trumbull and other ladies in
tcrested in a school for colored children
wished Mr. Douglass to deliver his lecture for
the benefit of this charity. Mr.. Douglass was
willing, but there was
NJ HALL IN The CITY
that could be procured where a colored man
would be allowed to speak. So the ladies
came to DR.. Sunderland and asked for the
use of his church. The doctor gave his con-
sent readily, but there was opposition among
the members of the society. However, the
permission was obtained and Mr. Douglass
spoke, bnt the intense feeling which this in
cident created among the members of the
Il
of a large number of families to
other churches. 1t was TO this church, too,
that President Jackson went after his
withdrawal from the New York Avenue church
while its pastor refused to admit Mrs. Eaton,
the wife Of his secretary of war. as a mem
Der. Before her marriage with Ger. Eaton
she was known as Peggy Neil, the daughter
of the proprietor Of the leading hotel in this
city, and
A FAMOUS BEAUTY.
Gen. Jackson warmly cspoused the cause
Of Mr. Eaton, and in his characteristic style
determined that everyone else should do the
same This episode was taken advantage Of
By the factions then existing in the Demo-
cratic party, led respectively by Martin Van
Burcn and John c. Calhoun, and, as re-
suit, the entire cabinet was reorgan-
lied, and the poht1cal enect5 Of
what was alleged to be jealousy on the part
Of ladies toward the beautiful Peggy O'Neil
went far beyond what such an apparently
slight cause would seem TO iustifyln the calm
light of history. At any rate the Mrs. Eaton
quarrel extended to the church, and the
Second Presbyterian church occupied the site
where the New York avenue church now
stands. Rev. Mr.. Campbell refused to rec
ognize Mrs. Eaton, and so Old Hickory, in
high dudgeon, left the church and went to
the First church, where ne remained until his
second term as president expired in 1896.

His brief experience III this special session

SENATOR FAIRS ROMANCE.
How the Nevada Man Married an Irish Girl
Almost by Accident.

Senator James G. Fair of Nevada. was born
within five miles of where l was" said gentle
man connected with the Chicago police depart
ment to day. There have been many anecdotes
published about him, and especially about his
divorced wife, but think can tell how she
became his wife, by mere accident, as it were.
Jim's family lived in county Tyrone, while ours
came from an adjoining county. The Fairs
were known in all the country around as fight
ers, and right good ones they were. Besides
being fellows that knew how to handle a black
thorn, they were very good carpenters Jim's
father and mother did not live very happily TO-
gether, so the old man packed up his traps and
came to America. He made money and went
back to see how his family was getting along.
At the time of his return Jim about twenty
years of age. He was the fathers pet and when
the old chap was ready to come back to America
he took him with him. At this same time Jim
was engaged to young girl named Pearce.
can't say anything about the parting that took
place between them, but it must have been
tender one on the part of the future senator, as
subsequent events showed.
"At any rate, after he ard the old man cot
over to America they went at carpentering and
made money very fast. Jim thought of his
sweetheart, and longed for her. He sent sum
of money to a friend to pay for her outfit and
passage to the United States, fully thinking that
she would soon come to join his fortunes in the
new world. A few months after this young Fair
received reply from his friend to whom he had
sent the letter The nature of the missive must
have stirred his heart to the depths 1t was to
the effect that Miss Pearce had married another
young man. and consequently could not be ex-
pected to sail on the next ship to her expectant
lover.
'But the same letter which conveyed this news
also said that there was no occasion for sadness.
1t reminded young Fair that there was younger
sister in the family whose beauty and graces
were as charming as those of the elder one His
friend concluded his letter with the proposition
that he should offer the rising fortunes and the
money of Fair to one who could accept them To
cut it short Jim sent back word that he could do
so, and it was not long after that when the
younger Miss Pearce sailed for America to wed
the future bonanza king and senator. Her sub
