FIVE HUNDRED DISMISSALS.
No More General Discharges at tn
Government Printing Office.

At the Government Printing Office Saturday
afternoon one hundred and seventeen addi-
tlonal discharges were made. The dismissed
persons were not confined to any division, but
were from various portions of the building
The list included compositors, proofreaders,
hoor-hands, persons from the folding room and
specification division. There were some ladies
among the dismissed, but the greater proper
tiOn was made up OF men. Up to the present
Mr.. Benedict has cut of about five hundred
employees, and it is believed that the force has
been brought within the expenditure allowed
by law. THE STAR reporter was told to-day
that there will be no more general removals
From now on the dismissals will be in indi-
extent, in ali the departments. The law not
only requires that 50 per cent of the annual
appropriation shall be on hand and available
year, but also that at the beginning of the third
quarter 25 per cent shall be unexpended and
available.
would probably have to curtail the lOrce by one
quarter, or possibly One-third. AS there were
2.4OO employees he has really cut off less than
One-fourth-scarcely more than One-tfth. He
has reduced the monthly expendi ure by about
S3O,OOO. He believes that with such reorgani-
cation as he will speedily effect the efficiency OF
the printing department will be up TO the past
standard, Notwithstanding the curtailment of
force In other words. the new al. .mnistration
OF the office is inclined to think that there were
too many employes-more than could be
worked to advantage. 1t is the intention of the
new public printer TO practice economy, but TO
maintain high standard OF efficiency.
THE CHARGES AGAINST FOREMAN WHITE.
With regard to the charges filed by Scott,
discharged employe, against Foreman White,
of the bindery, THE STAR reporter was informed
that the public printer had not yet had time to
examine them; that any charges against the
inquired into ii there appears to be any founda-
ttOn Tor them.

STEALING LIBERAL THUNDER.
DEN0UNOING THE COAL MONOPOLY
Epidemic Of Runaways on q Chicago Drive.


HIS Kent Speech Received with Great
Satisfaction.
Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Oct. 4.-Lord Randolph Churchills
speech In Kent on Saturday, confirms my In
depreciation OF the inspiration OF the Morning
Post article He expressed an Identical view on
foreign politics. The speech is regarded as
being definite burial OF King lingo. Only
the old-fashioned members of the tory party
hnd ground for complaint in this. As regards
domestic affairs, the charge OF the liberal
press that he has
STOLEN THE WHOLE LIBERAL SUIT
OF clothes is by no means without foundation.
Several points, such as the closure of debate by
majority. which he denounced i'm Opposition.
ne now Introduces as a government proposal.
ihrce acres an a COW, the sale OF gle6e lands,
course, familiar pianks in the liberal platform.
On several OF these subjects, however, il is fair
10 add that Churchill has held liberal even
tadicai CONVICTIONS privately, for some time,
although he has often expressed tory ones for
tactical purposes. The speech as a whole has
been
RECEIVED WITH IMMENSE SATISFACTION
by the tory press. Churchill is covered with
compliments this morning by every conserva-
tive paper in the three Kingdoms. The liberal
papers find little to criticise, except the above
charges. The impression among politicians is
that the speech has done much to consolidate
the position OF the government unless events
In ireland upset them. Their prospects for con.
tnuance in office were never SO bright.

SEPH MACKIN'S ACCOMPLICES.
CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Considerabe excitement

says, this morning, on account OF a rumor that
w. j. Gallagher, the indicted accomplice OF Jo-
tor ba.ot-box stuffing has jumped his bond of

escape the consequences OF another piece of dis
honesty OF which he is accused. Within the La st
few days il has been discovered that forged or.
ders have been presented for vouchers at the
city controllers Office for rebates due on real
estate special assessments. The vouchers thus
obtained have been presented TO the city treas.
urer and paid. These rebates on Chicago assess

are SO irregularly collected by property owners
that upwards Oi SlOO,OO0 worth have accumu-

GERONIMO GETTING ANXIOUS.
to Hear from the Great Father
In Washington.

A dispatch from San Antonio, Texas October
I'd, says: Old Geronimo, his nephew, Chief
Natchez, and the 90 other murderous Apaches
who were brought here three weeks ago. are
occupying the same tented quarters, near mill
tary headquarters as on the first day of their
arrival. They pass most of their time playing
cards. chewing and smoking tobacco almost in
cessantly. Early yesterday morning the inter-
prefer told Geronimo and Natchez that Gen.
Miles had sent his report of their surrender to
the Great Father at Washington. Geronimo
exhibited much interest In the matter, and as
the Interpreter translated the synopsis of Gen.
Geronimo constantly interrupted with grunts
OF approval and satisfaction, and Natchez con-
irmed Gen. Miles statement that they could
have held out longer had they wanted. Later
in the day Gen. ID. s. Stanley, department
commander, held o long pow WOW with Gero-
nimo and Natchez. They told the general their
simply reiteration of their statement on their
first arrival here. They claim that they were
tureatened with assassination if they remained
on the reservation and they were compelled to
flee. Once having lett IT. they claim there was
nothing for them 10 do but 10 raid upon the
settlers. :,
The officers here are of the opinion that when
Gen. Miles acceptea conditional surrender,
punishment by the Arizona authorities, he was
actuated by desire to prevent the savages
from taking more lives and committing more
crimes. The savages In two years had taken at
least 400 lives. and Gen. Miles thought it wise
to get them out OF the country at once. The
Indians are anxious to know what will be done
at Washington regarding their case. Geronimo
inquiries every morning Of the officer In charge
OF the camp whether any word has been re-
ceived from the great father in Washington.
He also inquiries frequently about his wives in
Florida, and says he wants very much TO see
old murderer is growing sleek. Life In camp
evidently agrees with him.
One young girl, GerQnimo's daughter-in-law,
has little baby, born the night OF the surren-
der. The mother, who is only fifteen, was
obliged to travel long da1's journey In the
since then she has had little rest, and looks
worn and haggard: The baby-a girl-is re-
markabiy small and sickly looking. Tied ike
only Its head.

HE IS NOT DISSATISFIED, AND WILL NOT RE-
SIGN UNTIL THERE ARE MORE CONVERTS TO
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM IN INDIANA.
Judge Edgerton, OF Indiana, president of the
civil service commission. who returned to
Washington Saturday, said to STAR reporter
that he had not yet examined the changes in
the civil service rules sufficiently to warrant
him in expressing an opinion Of them. He
denies that he is in any way dissatisfied or
intends to resign. He will not resign, he says,
until there are more converts to civil service
reform in his state. He says that is probably
the most violently opposed OF all the states to
The civil service law. OF late, however, they
say very little about the law, but are speaking
IN the highest praise of the administration,
which he thinks is good sign. He has entirely
recovered from hiI cold. and is in tue best Of
health.

ably FOR the purpose of testing another sample

the yard into an ordnance foundry.
