More Of Germany WORK;

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Sepatol
German to-day added another civil ser
vice scalp to his belt when the Presi-
dent nominated 1. Freeman Rasin oi
Baltimore to be naval officer of that
port. The Civil Service Reform Asso.
citation Of Maryland solemnly protested
against the appointment Of Eugene
Higgins, 1t faithfully denounced the
nomination of Morris Thomas as Indian
Inspector, and 1t will probably explode
when Its members learn Of the selection
OF Rasin. Senator Gormau is the boss
OF men Of the Higgins Thomas stripe,
but Rasin is Germans boss. He has
been the leader of the Democratic ma !.
chine in Mary land, the guiding star of
the organization, a manipulator of cleo.
tions, ballot box staffe- and the leader
of the school Of politics of which Hig.
gins and Thomas are such expert grad
yates. Mr.. Rasin is appointed TO suo-
ceed . gentleman whose term has ex.
pired. The President to-day also nomi.
mated James B. Groome as Collector of
Customs at Baltimore.

Heavy Cattle.

Fred Keinle, OF stalls Nos. 81 and 80,
Second street market, has received q
pair of monster steers for show beet
day, which he claims cannot be sur
passed by any that has ever been
brought to this city. Although these
steers were young they weighed 8, $50
pounds, or nearly ton each, and the
meat Is of the finest quality. They will
be cut and exhibited for sale on his
stalls tomorrow and Saturday, and
those who wish to secure roasts, steaks
or other pieces should be sure to atter d
to the matter without delay, as con
siderable of the meat has already been
engaged.

Coke Mtners not Nnslnnsa.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 17.-Notwithstand
ing the action taken at yesterday 4
meeting at ScottdAle there appears TO be
no immediate prospect of an amicAble
settlement Of the coke strike. The
English miners want an advance in
wages, but have few other demands
which they press. The Hungarians and
Germans, hswever, demand that no.
body shall be prosecuted for riotinR
during the strike, that the men at
present under arrest and all those
against whom indictments have been
found, or sre to be made, shall 90 free ;
that an advance In wsges be given
the total abolition of company stores ;
the appointment of check meaeurer who
shall keep tally on tie present time
keepers the making OF all wagons OF
the uniform size, and that each miner
shall have the right to be hoisted ont of
the mines ut any time and as many
times day as he may desire.
The syndicate is willing to grant the
advance Of 10 per cent. demanded after
March is, provided the men will return
TO work at once at the old rates, but
positively refuses to make any other
concessions.
Nearly one thousand strikers gathered
at the Beeson works to day to persuade
the employees to quit work. Many OF
the strikers were armed and trouble is
feared.

Garbage Again.


wish to inquire whose duty 1t Is te
look after the garbage that Is being
dumped inside the city limits. l have
informed some Of the memb bers OF the
Board of Health about the matter, but
the nuisance has not been abated.
This garbage is gathered In the princi-
pal streets Of the city, principally on
Market, King and French streets II
the Board of Health do not wish to
remove the garbage from the neighbor-
hood, we do not wish them to perm 1t
any more to be added to It. I have
been informed that the Secretary OF
the Board OF Health said we should
have the garbage removed and then
send in the bill to the Board. This Is
all well enough, but what is to be done
with that garbage already dumped here,
Is what perplexes citizen taxpayer

/ WAsHIN0IOE, February 1.-THE
Repu blicsR enatoFs held caucus this
gmorning tsthrther csfssider 50 pojscy
70 be pursued In thsss o. ~ Uversy be.
tween the President and the Senate
over the refusal OF the former 10 furnish
papers on fle In the departments rela-
tive 10 removals Of Government officers.
For some time past the Judiciary Com
mittee has been considering this ques-
tion In connection with the report Sen.
ator Edmunds proposes TO make In the
case Of George M. Duskin, ext nited
6tstes District Attorney for the South
ern District Of Alabama. There has
been difference Of opinion among the
Republican members Of the COMMITTEES
as TO the length 1t 10 advisable 10 20 to
compel the production of the desired
information. Mr.. Edmunds wished the
adoption Of q resolution that would d.
rect the Senate, when papers were re-
fused, TO employ legal means 10 compel
their production, going TO the length. II
possible, of searching the executive files
for documents deemed essential in max
ing up case. Other members Of the
committee thought that to adopt such a
policy would be exceeding the discre-
tion the Senate is expected to exercise
In Its relations with the executive de-
partments. It was finally agreed that
q caucus should be held to consider the
subject.
Only about twenty six Senators were
present to-day bat IL the nnmbs- were
included all the Republicans who are
opposed to the adoption OF extreme
measures In attempting to compel the
President to furnish tht Senate with
information. Mr.. Edmunds. after ex.
planning briefly the points OF the report
he intended making from the judiciary
Committee, read q series Of resolutions
submitted by him for the action Of the
caucus. Quite long debate followed,
In the course Of which Mr.. Sherman,
Mr.. Ingalls,, Mr.. Hale, Mr.. Allison,
Mr.. Logan and Mr.. Eimunds made
speeches. II is understood that by .
vote of II to9 1t was agreed that one
clause of the resolutions, declaring 1t
the sense OF the Senate thst |. necessary
to obtain information the committees
should compel the production OF papers,
was rejected.
The caucus then adopted resolution
eD bodying these three propositions:
The frat declsres the action of the
Attorney General In refusing to furnish
evidence when called for by the Senate
no matter what his motive may have
been-highly reprehensible.
The second declares that where the
Senate has called or may call uPon the
heads Of departments for information
contained in the files Of such depart
ments regarding removals from ofiiee,
and the inform alton is not furnished as
requested, the Senate will not confirm
the appointee.
The third condemns the disregard OF
laws shown In the removal from Office
OF bonorsbly discharged ex-Union sol.
diers and sailors, who are required to
be preferred In making appointments.
These resolutions were unanirnously
adopted and form the line upon which
the Senate will do battle with the Ad.
ministration. They were sent to the
Judiciary Committee by the caucus
and will probably be reported when the
report in the Dusxin case Is made.

Apiece Defass ais Bishop.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. II Father r. G.
Belts, rector of one of the Episcopal
churches in this city, when he delivered
the funeral sermon over the body of his
friend, Father Jardine, who committed
suicide some time ago, took occasion to
denounce Bishop Robinson as the real
cause of Jardine's death, by refusing
the latter q rehearing. This led to q
controversy between the Bishop and
Father Belts, aud when Father Belts
recently applied to the Bishop for the
confirmation of q number Of the men,
bers Of his (Bstts') church. the Bishop
replied that he would confirm no mem
bers of that church until Its rector
thould apologize for language used dur
ing the controversy. Father BetLs re-
fuses TO withdraw his language and
thus the matter stands.

found At MifiinvilIe were marked
John ID. Harrington, and papers on the
body found here showed it 10 be that OF
John Clune. 1t has Just been learned
that Harrington is from Auburn, whore
he was member of the firm Of Har-
rfngton Bros, steam-ftters and plum.
bers. In November Harrington was
called to Binghampton, which is on
the Susquehanna, and remained there
until December 10, when he disar-
peared without leaving any trace of his
Whereabouts.
Papers on the body OF Clune showed
that on December he settled his board
bill at Meshoppen, where he worked In
the stone quarries, and 1t is known that
directly after he left the place q man
answering TO bis description was seen
in Binghampon. Harrington's body
wore watch and chain, from which
the watch had been torn off, and it is
now believed that Clune and Harripg-
ton met ON Binghampton bridge on the
night Of December 10. Clune, who Is q
rough character, 1t Is supposed, at
tempted to rob Harrington, and in the
struggle both fell over into the river
and were drowned, their bodies being
subsequently carried down the stream
20 the points where they we've found.

Mifiinville, identified the body as that
Of bis brother and shipped 1t back TO
