Washington Special.
Senator Harrison. chairman of the committee
on Territories, has received great number OF
remonstrances from New Mexico against the
confirmation of ex-senator E. G. Ross as Gov
ernor of that Territory. His correspondents
assert that Ross is a lunatc. In proof of this
they show that he regards himself as the repre-
sentative of Montezuma, and has introduced a
number of silly formalities founded on that
idea. such as awakng the people of Santa Fe at
sunrise to see him inaugurated. In addition, he
is charged with removing officers without cause,
with issuing fraudulent land scrip and in gen.
eral demoralizing the affairs of the Territory.
Ross used to be a Senator from Kansas but had
sunk very low, and was appointed Governor by
Mr.. Cleveland ont of pity.

ADAM TURNED OUT OF PARADISE.

Judge BIodgett's Court Opened by a New
Janitor for the First Time in Thirty Years.
Chicago Mail.
For the first time in thirty years the United
States court rooms were opened by new JAM
tor. For the first time in thirty years new
man built the CRATE fires, ranged the chairs in
order, and placed the pitchers of ice-water on the
lawyers tables. For the first time in thirty
years the venerable and coal-black Adam Carey,
who has grown gray in the service, was not
wanted. Yesterday he was handed a letter
from the Department of Justice in Wash
ington to the marshal for this district,
reciting that the Department of Justice
would henceforth pay janitors Of
court; that these functionaries must henceforth
be classed with all the other employees. be ap-
pointed by the custodian of the building and be
paid by the United States Treasury. The ami
able old negro was dazed. He had gone through
the round of his duties for so many years and
had grown SO used to the task that to be relieved
of the duty was to take away his most priced
privilege. There being no use in remonstrance
he accepted the decree with a heart of lead and
went out of the building that had known him so
long, and Uncle SANS employ at the same time.
Meanwhile. the familiar. good natured visage of
the long time attache is conspicuous by its alb
sence from the halls of governmental justice.
Adam appointed by Judge Drummond,
thirty years ago. and there isn't lawyer or law
yer's clerk in the city who does not know him.

The Strike in the Coke Region.

PETTsBURG, Jan. 22-No disturbance was re-
ported, this morning, at any point in the coke
regions. large mass meeting Of miners, ma
tive. Hungarians and colored, was held at Mount
Pleasant for the purpose of organizing the Hun
garians, who promise to stand by the Americans

ured terms. John Nugent, unoffending man,
Is SAID to have been brutality assaulted by the
ofhcers and it was decided to raise a fund to
prosecute his assailants. The men at the meet
ing dispersed to meet at o'clock this afternoon.
LII the police attempt to interfere, as it is an
nounced they will, there will certainly be trouble.
Ninety per cent of the miners in the region are
now idle, and it is estimated the strike has al
ready cost over $50. 600.
While the mass meeting of strikers at Mount
Pleasant was in progress, this afternoon, the
police car came up and was stopped a short dist
ance away. The miners left the meeting and
surrounded the car, threatening to mob the
officers For time affairs looked squally, but
through the prompt action of a Catholic
priest who addressed the strikers, serious riot
was averted and the miners dispersed. Since
yesterdays convention, the strike has assumed
enormous proportions, and may be said to be
the greatest struggle between labor and
capital ever known in the coke regions from
the number of men engaged in the strike, the
extent OF territory covered, and the value OF
the interests at stake. Over six thousand men
are now out. and nearly every works in the Con-
nellsville valley district is idle. Tomorrow
is payday, and trouble is anticipated The
strikers held mass-rneeting tonight, and the
Hungarians and Americans fraternized and Or
ganized for future work. Similar action has
been taken through the whole region.

1t is said that majority of them were anxious

In reaching his decision, the President acted
in accordance with the advice of Senator Cock

right to ask for reasons. the production of the
