PETER G. HAMS,
Engineer in Charge,
The delay Of payment has bad effect in
more ways than one. 1t checks the circula-
tlon Of over $4,000 among the trades people
Of the city and adds that increase TO dull
business. Next there are nearly forty clerks
who were to start on their annual leave aud
expected TO receive the installment OF pay
to assist In defraying their expenses and
find themselves pressed To get along without
IL. Some Of the clerks cannot get away at
all unless the pay is forthcoming or hy-
pothecated. The condition Of the dlsburs-
ing clerk is watched with considerable In
terest, and just so soon as he can make a
mark the warrant will be laid before him
for his signature.

Tie War Department clerks are greatly
disappointed, and some Of them very much
discouraged. They had expected to re-
ceive half months pay last Saturday,
but the day came round and passed with
out the money being forthcoming. After
Disbursing Clerk Lawton became disabled
through paralysis from attending to his
official duties, Mai or p. @. Hams, engineer,
and the only bonded officer available, was
detailed as discussing officer, and It was
thought al trouble had been overcome.
In this another mistake was made. When
the warrant reached the comptroller's
Office that official declined to recognize
Major Hams, aud declined to pass the
warrant, and there 1t remains hung up.
Subsequently messenger was sent to the
residence Of Mr.. Lawton to see II he was in
condition to write his name so that he could
sign warrant, and 1t was found that he
was not. In the midst Of these complica-
tions the following was Issued;

shspwrecked Whalers.

st. johns. N. f., Nov. lS-The Peter
mead whaler Catherine, Captain Benze,
left port on March Is on a whale and
seal fishing voyage in Davis straits and
Cumberland gulf. The ships company
numbered twenty five The western
voyage to Cape Farewell was one sue
ceseion of terrific gales, with mountain
ous seas. The ship labored much and
strained heavily. The months of July
and August were passed in yainly en-
deavoring to reach the oil fields.
September 80 the captain had to beach
the ship, which was leaking rapidly and
fast settling down. Scarcely was the
the whaler beached when she swung over
on a reef. which pierced her bottom and
sides,s soonyerting her into compiete
wreck. The boats were Immediately
lowered and provisions, nautical lnstru-
ments and clothing transferred. and with
sails set and oars manned the ship
wrecked crew set out in the hope Of
crossing the path OF some Dundee
or Newfoundland whaler. Dur
ing ten weary days and nights,
with meager food, no fire,
no water-only ica-the Peterhead
whalers went througn airibia ordeal
from exposure. Gram 4 ., iheir boats
and lnsntticiently clotnso, hey aaiied
and rowed from New Gonwits, where
the Catherine was beached, distance of
200 miles, till they reached Black Lead
island. Here there lie station house,
owned by Williams & Co., of London.
1t is kept by Russian firm named
Frederick Shearmann, with German
and Italian as assistants. The ship
wrecked crew were here treated with the
greatest inhumanity, They were not
allowed the shelter of the station for
themselves or clothing. The Italian
cook stealthly conveyed to them an
occasional biscuit and cup of coffee, and
they were forced to quarter themselves
on hospitable Esquimaux, who shared
with them their miserable
tooplcks or wIRwams, their
camp fires and there seal or walrush
flesh. Fortunately, on the 10Th OF
October, the steamship Eagle, Captain
Jackman, hove in sight, when signals
were made from the island. The Eagle
rapidly bore down from the north took
the Peterhead whalers ON board and
arrived safely with them at St. Johns
Wednesday. The Eagle was the last OF
the whaling feet so tar north, and had
she unfortunately passed in the night
or in dense fog, the whole little colony
on Black Lead island, now numbering
some fifty souls, must have perished
miserably from starvation. there being
less than two months provisions on
hand.

Fast Trains to be Discontinued.

st. Paul. Nov. 22--on Monday,
November 20, the limited train on the
Chicago, Burlington and Northern, Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul, and Min
neapolis, ST. Paul and Omaha, will be
taken off for the winter. The Wisconsin
Central will also lengthen the time of
its train, and running time OF all through
trains between Chicago and st. Paul
will be the same, sixteen hours and ten
minutes for night trains and seventeen
hours for day trains. The TAO p. m
tram from Milwaukee to Chicago will
also be discontinued. The reason for
this move is that there is not enough
business on any OF the lines for three
trains daily, and the most amicable
settlement of the affair was to withdraw
the limited trains. They will probably
be put on again in the spring. The
Minnesota and North Western oifisfisi
however, say they will run their fast
train over their new line, beginning
next Thursday. The exact time has not
been decided upon, but it will probably
be between fourteen and fifteen hours.

The Pres,.scnt Coarts secluston.

Hhe PRESIDENT CGHrts SecluStOn.
Hereafter the gates of the grounds
south of the white house are to be open
ed later in the morning and closed
earlier in the afternoon than formerly.
Ehe object of this is to enable the presi
dent and Mrs. Cleveland to walk In the
grounds without being observed by the
public. The statement made in further
explanation of this is, other presidents
have not been 80 beset by curious peo-
pie as Presldert Cleveland, may well be
doubted. The public has been just as
curious to see Mr.. Cleveland's prede
cessors as to see him, but the other
presidents good naturedly took
this as one of the minor
penalties of eminence. Mr.. Ar
thur often walked on the streets alone
and whenever he had occasion to take
the cars he entered the depot by the
public entrance and bowed pleasantly to
the people who lined his way to the car.
President Grant used to walk down
Pennsylvania avenue every morning.
President Cleveland always takes and
leaves the oars outside the depot, or
enters the depot by the train entrance
and he will now have the white -house
grounds closed at the hours when he
may care to take walk. He is either
afraid OF Guiteau, or, which is more
probable, is morbibiy sensitive OF being
looked at,

Attention is being directed by the
newspapers of the north to the scarcity
of voters in Logan county. In 1884 this
oounty polled seventeen votes and in
1886 twenty-six votes. As the law re-
quires that no county shall be organized
until fifty qualified voters Of the coun-
ty shall petition for such organization,
these inquisitive newspapers want to
know how it happens that Logan county
has been provided with local govern
ment all these Years. The explanation
is that Ordway organized the county
back in 1888. 1t will probably be found
that some of his friends are interested in
property at the county seat.

the treasurer or the superintendent OF
public instruction. This is specified in
section one OF the act and specified
again. again and aRain in sections two,
three and four. From each of
these four sections defining the
duties Of the attorney general the
secretary of the territory is studiously
omitted, while all the other territorial
officials are severai times mentioned.
The attorney general is therefore not
required by law to officially recognize
the secretary of the territory. He may
treat that gentleman with contempt if
he chooses. To him the secretary is
nothing more than private citizen. If
the attorney general gives it as h,s
legal opinion that the secretary ls man
OF profound ignorance all the secretary
can do is to call him out on dark night

The row between the secretary OF the
territory and the attorney general of the
territory is now at its most interesting
stage OF development and dire results
are threatened on both sides. All this
is very exciting, but what are the re-
lations between the secretary and the at
torney general? Nothing more binding
than the relations existing between any
two private citizens of Dakota. The
law creating the Office OF attorney gener.
al was passed during the legislative
session of 1883. upon the order
OF Governor Ordway. At that time
the secretary was not in accord with the
Observation-Disclosures, Mr., Teller refused
to become party to any of the many
fraudulent schemes propagated cad

Over the territory of Dakota the news
papers are demanding of the Legislature
the creation of o new law providing for
the compensation of county officers
The demand is that the fee system be
abolished and stated salaries substituted,
the prevailing figure being about a
thousand dollars per year. 1t will be
better not to exercise haste in this
matter. Outside the county offices there
are few people who have any comprehen-
sion of the amount of work to be per-
formed or the compensation actually
received. 1t is subject for study before
action Is taken.
