A Hard Fight over the Matter.

Special to Pittsburg Commercia-Gazette.
What has given Mr.. Cleveland the worst
trouble has been the Indianapolis postoffice
fight The contest over this Office is between
Vice-president Hendricks and Representative
Bynum, of Indianapolis. Both men claim the
privilege of naming the postmaster. The Vice
president bases his claim on the fact that In
dianapolis is his native city, and that he ought to
name the postmaster in his own town. Congress
man Bynum, however, has all the precedents on
his side. congressman in good standing with
his party can dictate all of the postofice appoint
ments in his district That is, the precedents
are all that way Mr. Cleveland pointed out this
fact to Mr.. Hendricks yesterday He said that
there was no record of a Vice president ever
having secured an appointment of any kind Mr.
Hendricks suggested that it was good time to
establish a. precedent to that effect Mrs.
Hendricks has brought her influence to bear on
the administration. She has secured the sup
port of Miss Cleveland but it is said by Indiana
Democrats tonight that the President has de-
cided to give the appointment to Bynum. and
not to change the long line of unhroken prece-
dents against giving Vice presidents any patron
age. Mr.. Hendricks is looking very blue over
the outlook 1t is impossible to tell what steps
Mrs. Hendricks will take to show her dis
approval if Mr.. Cleveland decides against her
husband, but his punishment will probably be
most severe.

Rumored Break In strikers, Ranks.

PIrTsBURG, March pa break is reported in
the ranks of the striking coal miners of the
fourth pool. Five hundred men are said to have
gone to work to-day on the terms offered by the
operators and it is expected others will soon fol-
low suit. The situation along the railroad is IN
changed Both sides maintain firm fronts. AT
Scott Haven the contemplated eviction did not
take place to- day. The miners are still in pos
session of their houses, and apparently have
little fear of the order being carried out If the
company insist upon their leaving, they will go

CHICAGO, March A.-The Farmers, Review,
in its summary Of reports from. correspondents
throughout the Western States, for the week
ending March 2l, says that the conditions are
such that only a comparatively small area of
spring wheat can be got into ground before the
1st of April. This date, though, cannot be
called late, neither can it be called early. In
regard to winter wheat it says the indications
are that taking the decrease in acreage and the
daily running down of crop prospects, we shall
see winter wheat crop in quantity below that

WAsHINGToN, March N-The Indiana Demo
Gratis are really dsgusted There is no mistake
about itnow. When they saw the nomination
of Representative Sparks, Of Illinois, for
Commissioner of the Land Office, instead of ex-
Representative Stockslager they were amazed
They could not understand it, for they had
been given to understand that at least one
good place should go to Indiana, and that that
Office it should be. Mr. Stocksagers friends re-
ceived assurance at the Interior Department
and the White House that he could have this po-
sition, and they fully expected to see him nomi-
mated this afternoon. Tonight no one can ex-
plain how or why he was left out. Mr.. Sparkss
friends say, however, that they were told
ten days ago that their man should
have the position; so it is apparent
that the Indianians are being trihed with
convictions, cease their opportunities for offices
and 60 home, remains to be seen. 1t is hardly
to be expected that they will resent this treat
ment in a manly way but will continue to pass
their hats with pitiful mouths, expressing a
willingness to take anything, SO it is an Office
The Hoosier Democrats have already become
the laughing stock here, and many sarcastic re-
marks are heard OH every hand 1t is beginning
to be the belief that it is the interference of
Hendricks, largely, that defeats Indiana men
who are asking for places. Them there is moth
ing like united action. 1t is every man for him
self, and devil take the hindmost.7 =

WASHINGTON March 2A-It was stated to-

ago, John p. Frenzel made relentless war upon
Stoll He went to the White House, it is said,
and presented strong arguments to prove Stoll's
incompetency. His words seem to have had
effect, and Stolrs friends say the jig is up. There
is a belief that if William B. Burfords name
