lie Refers to Ii in Very Ambiguous
Language.
From the Washington Prst.

From the Washington P1st.
Secretary Lamar returned to Washing
ton yesterday by the train which arrived
mere from New York at 4 p. N. He felt
greatly improved in health by taking two
weeks vacation ip the White Mountain
region. 1t was near 3 O'Clock before he
visited the Interior Department, but he
found most of the chiefs still in the build
ing. He did not rest until he had ranged
through most of the rooms and EXCHANGED
friendly greetings with his assistants.
The Secretary and Commissioner
Montgomery of the Patent Office
had intended to 20 awav on vacation to-
gether, but at last they failed to connect.
Commissioner Montgomery went by
steamer TO Boston and thence 10 Nara
gansett Island in the Atlantic, where he
remained little over week, and sailed
again homeward. The Secretary trav-
eed by rail to Bethlehem, n. H., and re-
turned by rail. Commissioner MontgOm-
cry went in search of some spot where
hay fever could not follow him. The
Secretary also claimed to nave hay fever.
hut Mr.. Montgomery refuses TO admit that
it was any thing but common catarrh. He
claims monopoly OF hay fever in the
Interior Department.
When the two distinguished invalds
met in First Assistant Secretary Null
drow's room, in the Interior Department,
yesterday, an animated contest arose
about the relative virtues OF Bethlehem
aud Narragansett Island as hay fever re-
SORTS. The Commissioner did not seem
To have show against the Secretary
As AN advocate he could hardly get a
word in ed4eways; but when he turned
to his strong contention, namely, that
the Secretary had no hay fever. but a
mere catarrh, ne scored a palpable hit.
The conversation turned from hay fever
resorts to matrimonial notabiiities.

SILK CULNUKI3.

Some ofthe Experiments Being Made
by the Agricultural Department.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The machinery
for the purpose OF Keeling the silk from the
sOcOons is being put in order in the annex
d the Agricultural Department. There
appear to be great many persons inter-
etsted in the silk industry in this country,
and the experiment Is to be made by
having Young girls attend the reels with
a view TO finding out whether this Will be
tue most economical plan, and also to
compare the price OF silk labor with that
Of the French and Italian reelers. In
2rance female reelers-and there are
nome others-are paid from 30 to 40 sous
per day. At the Philadelphia tilature
Iley were cOntented with Doc, and hun
dreds of them were willing TO work IN
ths country for that price. They were
delighted with their occupation, which
requires principally attention. Raw silk
Is of little bulk, and Will not cost much
for transportation These and other con-
sideratIons are sufficient TO show that the
price of labor in this country Will be no
obstacle to the production of silk. The
mechanical part of Keeling silk in France
and Italy Is performed entirely by women.
The silk question is creating much inter
est IN the Agricultural Department, and
the September consular reports to the
State Department contains a full report
on the silk culture III Mexico by Consul
General Porch.

A SMOULDERING ROW.
a Fiery Eruption Likely in the Civil
Service Commission.

Service Commission.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.-The following
Is from the New York World to-day, and
contains more truth than fiction: There
Is a row smouldering in the Civil Service
Commission, and liable to break INFO
active eruption at any moment. The
lOng-winded letters printed in New York
papers, written by Dorman b. Eaton, at
lacking Commissioner ODerly are only
the external indication OF the fires
within. But they have tended to brace
up the Eaton faction in the com
mission, and they have made Mr..
OberlV very bitter against both Eaton ana
his bench men remaining In the employ OF
the commission. Eaton still runs the
commissien His edicts 20 forth with the
regularity and force Of "a dictator. A
number OF his men, who are still in power,
consider his recent utterauces as cOnclu-
siVe and unanswerable. Commissioner
Uberlv says they are tissue OF iaisehOOGs.
and when Eaton gets through. IL he ever
does, he (Oberly) will show him up in
half column OF unmstakable English.
Oberly will not be likely to write two
columns OF nonpariel with only three
paragraphs in it.
MIR. Flint, a sanctimonIous' reformer,
who believes in Eaton as sincerely as
MOslem does in Mahomet, is the princi-
pal man on the departmental board Of eX-
aminers. He does everything he can
against Oberly, whom he regards as an
interoper. Lyman, the publican mem

Eaton. appointed upon Eaton's recon-
mendatiOn. Webster, the chief exam
liner, was appointed on Eaton's recon-
mendat:on also, and against the protest
Of both Oberly and Edgerton. DOYLE, the
secretary. is another Eaton partisan, and
was trained under him TO accept the die
tates OF the boss without question.
The departmental examiners are
substantially as they were under
the Old regime. They regard COmms-
sioner Oberly as spokesman, and lose no
opportunity to say so. Commissioner
Edgerton is not in the city much OF the
time in fact, Oberly is the only man here
at present. Edgerton Is mild and easily
managed. 0berly is firmly Of the opinion
that the Eatonian management OF the com
mission was in the nature OF an elephan-
tine humbug. He thinks mat the idea was
10 put Republicans IN office and keep
them there. Eaton and his trends regard
Oberly as Democratic spokesman. Nj
Dberly eutertalns the belief that the pub.
lie is pretty certain 10 conclude that civil
service reform is a good deal OF fraud.'

AN INSULT TO GEN. BLACK.
Why His Name was Dropped from
the G. \. X. Banquet List.

WAsHINGTON. Sept 20.-There mas
been considerable stir in the city about
the Grand Army banquet and reception
to Gen. FaIIchild last saturday night.
some time bet re that event representa-
tiVes of the Grand Army OF The Repubj
called at tie Pension Office. Commls'
siOner Black was absent, but Deputy
Commissioner Mclean was there. To
HIM the committee extended an invita-
tiOn that ne and Gen. Black be present at
the banquet and respond TO tOasts. MIR.
Mclean accepted the Invitations both
for himself and Gen. Back, knowing that
the latter would be pleased to address his
fellow comrades, so that both of their
names went down on the list OF those who
would respond to toasts.
A few days before the banquet it was
ascertained that Gen. Blacks name had
been stricken from the list. This was
done, it was understood, because OF a
complaint N G. A. r. circles tuat Gen.
Blacks administration OF the pension OF
fee had not been sufficiently satisfactory
to the &. A. k. at large to warrant giving
him the prominence in that organization
that the responses to toast at the ban
quet would carry with it. Upon hearing
this Deputy Commissioner Mclean
promptly refused to respond TO the toast
which had been allotted to him, but, not
withstanding all these things, Gen. Fair
child last Saturday afternoon called upon
Commissioner Black with mem bers of his
staff, and. in the course Of the words that
were exchanged, expressed himself as
perfectly satisfied With the manner in
which the Pension Office is conducted.
One fact that should bring Indignation
TO old veterans. whether they differ or not
from Gen. Black politically, is the con-
slant allusion to him as physical Wreck
Black" by the New York Tribune and
that ilk OF ra0id papers, whose deep
wounds from the exposure of Dudley's
ways make them howl turiOusly and fire.
quently. Gen. Black, in the literal mean
ing of the term, is a physical wreck from
bullets on the battlefield, and where the
sneer is either just or smart Is imper-
cepttble,

SILVER CERTIFICATES.
When the Distribution of Them will
be Made.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Ihere Is at
present great deal OF talk about the new
silver certificates OF small denomination.
The desire 20 get hold OF some of them
seems TO be general. treasurer JORDAN
saws he will not begin 10 issue the new ~
silver certificates for general circulation
Dntilthe latter part OF next week. be pro-
noses that they shall enter into business
clrcI esin various cllies simultaneously,
and the same precautions Will he taken
with them as were observed with the Sill
yer notes Of the $40 denomination. Inc
sub-TreasurV at New York has been Sc
Iected as the central point from which to
issue these notes to the general pubic,
and persons desiring TO purchase them
should negotiate with the suO-Ireasurer
at that point. MIR. Jordan says he is re-
ceiving the newly printed notes IN small
quantities daily, but he proposes
that none of them shall be put into circu-
jatiOn until he has enough on hand to
supply, as far as he is able, the great de-
mand for them in business circles. HIS
spOndence on This subject indicates
that the demand tor the ones and twos Is
far greater than the supply, and should
be attempt to appOrtion them out among
The thousands of people who have written
TO MIN tor them he could not give more
Than a single note to each person. Many
Of the business men throughout the c0un-
try are under the impression that the dis
tribution Of these nures Will be made in
Washington. This is a mistake. Small
quantities of silver will be received IN eX-
change tor the silver notes at the Treas
pry Department., but toe general distrbu
ton Will be made from tue various sub
treasures.
