Specialize the Globe.
WASHINGTON. April 13.-The position of
governor or superintendent of the Soldiers
home near Washington is one of the most
desirable within the gift of the president,
but under the existing law it nust be filed
by an officer on the retired list of the army.
Gen. Sturgis, the present incumbent, will
probably be displaced, as he has served
nearly four years, and there is necessarily
considerable rivalry for the success
sion, among aspirants being Gen.
Rufus ingalls,. The superintendent
had been supplied with commodious quar-
ters, and as the highly-cultivated and ele-
gantly-adorned grounds of the home are
utilized as the fashionable carriage-driving
resort of Washington, the officer in COM
mand becomes prominent as an entertainer
and leader in the society of the capital.
Handsome stone cottages are prepared for
army officials detailed for medical and other
duty in connection with the home, and one
of these structures, handsomely furnished, is
reserved for the president when
ever he shall desire to occupy
it. President Andrew johnson occupied
the cottage during the summer and fall, fire.

Arthur much preferred living there to domi-
Cling in the White house. ASS President
Cleveland if likely to emulate their example
and seek swimmer resort at home, he will
naturally desire to select superintendent

adds considerably to the ambition of the va
rious aspirants. The names offGens. An

Fighting For Blind Tom the Musician.

Special 10 the Globe.
CoLUMBUs, Ga, April 13.-Few people,
perhaps, know that Blind Tom, the musical
prodigy, was brought here at the instance of
Hon. L. T. Garrard, counsel OF Gen. Be
thune, in order to test the right of a woman
who claims to be the wife of the late John
Rethune to the management of Tom. She
was here Tor several days but took no steps
in the courts to obtain charge of Tom, but it
was evident that she was considering her
course. She visited Toms mother and at
tempted to persuade the old woman to give
her control of him. She succeeded in
indusiug the old woman to travel with her
and they are now absent from Columbus. Il
is thought that her object is to lay quietly at
some place outside Georgia, and when Tom
comes within her reach make his mother
demand possession and control of her son.
In this, however, she will be thwSrted, Ss
Tom now has lawful guardian. At the
term of ordiuarys' court he was tried for
lunacy and found to be an idiot, aud Gen.
Bethunewss appointed his gusrdin. This
was an unexpected move to the pretended
widow. aud what steps she viii next take is
no tknown.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The civil service

lication: ssWe have information that in
many of the states the numbers applying to
be examined are greatly in excess Of what
is needed TO secure competent persons for

of sweeping changes for the mere purpose of

wish to be responsible for the many disap-

of the United States, being Indian country,

Canadian Pacific Government Aid.

The Canadian governments proposal for
immediate assistance to the Canadian Pacific
road will be made known to parliament this
week In view of the company having shown
to the country the importance of their road
as a railroad highway for the transportation
of troops to the Northwest, the government
believes that the same opposition to further
assistance will not be offered, as
undoubtedly would be the case had
not the unfortunate state of
affairs, which now exist in the Northwest,
taken place. The exact nature of the pyQpo-
sal, which was decided upon at the cabinet
at Ottawa on Saturday, has not been made
public 1t is generally understood that an
immediate advance of s5,000,000 to ny the
floating debt will be made as part of the ar
rangement. Sir Leonard Tilly visited New
York last week to negotiate temporary loan
of S., 600, 600, but without success, so report

STANDS PLEDGED
Another Naval Scandal.


WASHINGTON, April 13.-Mention was
made two or three days ago of a scandal
raised against Paymaster General Smith in
connection with a beef contract. There is to
be an investigation, but Smith is not the only
one whose action will be considered. 1t ap-
pears that there is secret history behind
these charges against Smith, and that Pay
Inspector Stevenson played prominent part
in it. The latter, who is nominally on duty as
fleet paymaster Of the North Atlantic squad
ron, now at Aspinwall, has been here some
time scheming for Smiths place as
chief of the bureau of provisions and
clothing II is asserted that Stevenson
not only worked the case against Smith, but
secured the publicity of it. This isn't Il e
first navy department sensation that Steven
son has been involved in. He had lively
time of it few years ago on his own ac-
count. When he was up for examination
for promotion to his present grade, he came
very near failure Indeed, one board re-
ported against his being morally and profess
sionally qualified for promotion, and it re-
quired considerable eloquence on the part of
Robert Ingersoll to offset the arrsagnm ment

hasty examination of the other buildings

minneapolis, SdnHt Ste M9fte d At1@nt'c
The board of directors of the Sault Ste.
Marie & Atlantic Railway company held a
meeting yesterday and transacted routine
business of no special interest to the public.
TWENTY-FIVE miles of road was ordered con-
structed from Bruce, the present terminus,
on Chippewa river, to point in the heart of
the pineries. The line at present extends
from Turtle Lake, Wis, to Bruce, Wis, a
distance of forty-six miles. Passengers for
points on that line are taken from st. Paul
and Minneapolis by the Omaha train over
the northern division to Turtle Lake, and
from Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls to
Barrow. With the new extension the road
will be seventy-one miles in length, with the
terminal point on the Flambeau river. The
objective point is Sault Ste. Marie, and the
enterprise promises grand results to the
northern portion of Wisconsin. The COM
pany was organized Aug. II, 1888, with the
following officers: W. D. Washburn, F. D.
Welles, Clifton Morrison, j.. R. Liddle,
George R. Newell, c. R. Lorin, Charles A.

Wny ON the Cn,auttian Pacific.


Canadian steamboat owners express much
indignation over what they term an attempt
on the part of the Canadian Pacific railway
to monopolize the lake carrying trade be-
tween Sarnia and Georgian bay ports, and
the Lake Superior terminus OF the road at
Port Arthur. The railway company's ooats
are much faster, and last year it cut rates to
starve all competitors. This discrimina alton
rendered competition impossible, as the rail-
way steamers were given all the freight.
With view to putting a stop to this, meet
ing of the Ontario boatmen was heid AT
Toronto last week to urge that the Canadian
Pacific steamers be withdrawn. The meeung
ended by committee being appointed 10 go
to Ottawa to ask the government to see Ihat
no discrimination In boats be made between
Port Arthur and the other terminal ports.

Four Thousand Postoftices Vacant.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-On Saturday last
there were 1000 of the smaller postoffices va
cant by reason of the expiration of the terms
of the present Republican incumbents.
There are not less than 5000 bashful Demo-
Gratis who covet these places. They don't
pay much, of course, but they are generally
held by those who combined storekeeping
with the Office, and where the postmaster is
the people will come TO trade. II is asked
with good deal of sensible pertinence why
can't Democrats at least get these offices
which are vacant. Gov. Curtin some time
ago made the remark that cross-road post
office was worth ten votes to the political
party controlling it. The excuse now offered
by the postmaster general for not placing
Democrats in these offices is that the depart
ment is crippled because Of the
absence of his first assistant, and to him is
the duty assigned of selecting postmasters
not presidential. There is q good deal of
logic in this excuse. The first assistant post
master general is Malcolm Hay of PenDsyl-
vania, whom every friend declares to be
hustler But Mr.. Hay is sick. He has not
yet been able to take hold, and may not be
for weeks, if ever. Ex-Postmaster General
Hatton when he first saw Mr.. Hay said he
manage his desk. If each country post
master is worth ten votes the mathematical
Democrat can easily figure up how many
votes are jeopardized when he multiplies
1000 by ten.

The chief said that he and his tribe would be

they were to shut their ears to everything
