My objection arises from the fact that the

woman for clerical work. So when 1 want
a clerk always ask for a man, and the
women don't get certified. You see Ii you

there is for woman in the government

stand better chance Of appointment from
that grade. She stood 100 in her examina-

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The executive
mansion was the one place of attraction in
this city to-day, and while there was no
unusual activity within, still the number of
visitors in and about the grounds and to
the mansion was much larger than usual.
The president arose at his usual early hour,
and Col. Lamont and the clerks and the
messengers put in an appearance at the be-
ginning of Office hours. Hardly had Col.
Lamont entered the mansion before he was
beseiged by newspaper people, and this run
of people continued until late in the day. His
callers of this class were not what are re-
garded as legitimate journalists of the cap
ital, but those who write few letters a
year, and who on occasions of unusual
public interest endeavOr, through alleged
newspaper connections, to Obtrude them
selves into conspicuous places. Many of
those who called were women. and Col.
Lamont was busy all day telling them what
he did not know about trousSeauS and
trimmings, and answering thousand
and one questions about dress, which
only woman could ask. While all this
was going on in the office section of the
LudilSlOll, lilc pieSiuclll, So USUAL, was IL
ceiying visitors and attending to business
in his library. There was no hustle or stir
about the house. The timers were putting
the finishing touches upon the roof of the
mansion where they have been at work for
the past two weeks, and the mansion which
has bean undergoing much needed repairs
since Miss Cleveland left. were being
put in orderly shape. By Wednesday the
White house, at no time particularly
attractive, will present a fair appearance.
About the grounds men have for weeks
been engaged in trimming the trees and
stumbling and in moving the grass. The
interior arrangement of the presidents
house will not be undertaken until next
week, when Miss Cleveland, who arrived
tonight. will supervise everything and
have the brass work FURNISHED and the fur
niture rearranged and changed from its
stiff sitting so as to be more in keeping
with the home of benedict than the house
of a bachelor.

Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, the

Miss Cleveland went away at half past 2
o'clock and soon afterward Miss Folsom,
dressed i'll gray cloth suit, entered an
open carriage Oh Fifth avenue and was
driven up Fifth avenue. She stopped at a
house on Madison avenue and lady
came out and joined her, and
two hours following were passed
in Central Park. After leaving
her friend at her house Miss Folsom re-
turned to the hotel, arriving at $50. Mr..
William Dorsheimer sent up his card to the
ladies, but did not see them. A number of
photographers anxious to get Miss Folsom
to sit were not received. A box of flowers
for Miss Folsom came by express from
Washington. 1t was sent up to her room.

The Printers Get No Advance.

CHICAGO. May 29.-The question of an
advance in the rates of composition to be
paid by the publishers Of the daily and aux
iliary papers of Chicago, which was re-
ferred to arbitration some weeks ago, was
to-day decided against such advance.
The arbitrators selected by the union were
two members of their organization, Messrs
A. G. Cameron and G. G. Stivers, and
those selected by the publishers were
Messrs. Victor F. Lawson and William
Penn Nixon. The arbitrators being unable
to agree. Judge Gary of the state bench,
was called to act as umpire. His decision
is that there shall be no change in the
prices that have ruled for the past year,
namely 40 cents per 1000 ems on morning
papers and 81 cents per Loco ems on evening
papers. Judge Gary based his decision
on the ground that there was no
sufficient evidence submitted by the COM
positors that the net composition for the
time and labor is not as great in Chicago
as in any other large city in proportion to
the necessary expenses of men with fami-
lies in the respective cities.

perlence that high rates of duty upon i'm
ported articles, and especially upon articles
necessarily used as materials in our shops

ests, and they will demand, as you are de-
nand1ng, that our revenue laws shall be so
changed as to secure for the products of
teelr labor an equal chance with the products
OF their competitors all over the world
A preamble and resolutions were passed
settlng forth the deplerable condition of
labor IN the United States as an evidence
that the present system of protection does
not benefit the workingman; that the capt.
talists. who do profit by it, still maintain
free trade in labor, bringing dangerous ele-
ments into the country under it from the
servile nations of Europe and Asia;
that the tax on raw material
being greater than that on manufactured
it is cheaper to import manufactured
goods, thereby depriving American labor of
the opportunity of employment, and that
American workmen know as we'll how to
protect themselves peaceably as those who
know no other remedy except dynamite.
They protest against the heavy tax on raw
materials, call on congress TO vote free wool
and further revision of the tariff law as pro-
vided in the bill now before congress, and
finally. they demand of congress more
stringent law to prevent the importation of
pauper labor.

Serious Drouthin Texas

GALVESTON, Tex, May 29.-Telegrams
from every section of Texas report general
drouth prevailing all over the state, causing
much suffering and loss among the cattle
and live stock. In some sections the small
grains have been seriously damaged. The
cotton crop is threatened, but as yet has
sustained no appreciable damage. In
Northwestern Texas, the Panhandle country
the drouth is most severely felt. Cattle
are reported to be dying by thousands. The
smaller water holes have gone dry and the
cattle roam about in great herds believing
piteously. No general rains have visited
the cattle ranges for several months, and
as spring grass is scarce and deficient it
has left the cattle in poor con-
dltion. In southwestern Texas, the chief
wool glowing section of the state, the
drouth is equally severe, and many
thousands of sheep have died. The reports
from that section are few, but. all are of the
same tenor. In Central, Northern and
Eastern Texas. comprising the small grains
and cotton belt, the general cry is water"
Owing 20 the agricultural character Of these
sections, the drought h as not yet resulted
in serious loss or damage. but should it pre-
vail many days longer crops of all kinds
will be very seriously injured.

A REIGN OF TERROR.
Southern Arizona Overaxved by the
Hostile Apaches.

Special to the Globe. -
Tucson. Ariz., May 29.-The Indian
situation is growing serious. A general
outbreak from the San Carlos reservation is
threatened. The continued success of the
hostiles has emboldened the Indians. There
is no room for doubt that the hestiles are
being largely reinforced from this reserva-
ton. Gen. Miles is very active, and is en-
listing rangers from the most determined
men. A company OF men are being en-
listed here, who will take the field at once.
The people are getting very tired of the
government maintaining reservation in the
territory which harbors band of cutthroats.
Not a single Indian has been disturbed
on the reservation since it was established
in 1878. yet hundreds of people have been
murdered since by Apaches from the reser-
walton. Southern Arizona is now in a state
OF terror. The hostiles evade the troops
and rangers with ease. An old pioneer eX-
claimed to-day: I'm the name of God,
how long will the government allow our
people to be murdered with such impunity?"
W. P. Wemple, murdered yesterday near
Greaterville, was out warning settlers. He
was shot five times. He was from Law
renee, Kan. and engaged here as superin-
tendent of the Chicago Dry Gold Washing
company.

NATION, Ill.,, May 29.-W. B. Porter,
a man in very humble circumstances, who
is spending his declining years in Mattoon,
has received from Washington news that
his long-deferred hopes are soon to be real
lied in securing from the government pay
ment OF a claim amounting to very nearly a
round S160, 600. The claim grows out of
the depredations committee by the French
marine on American vessels during the
opening year Of the present century. when
war between France and the United States
seemed imminent. At the time Porters
grandfather, w. Barrett, was the largest
ship owner of Newburyport, Mass. The
French destroyed several vessels belonging
to him, valued at $500 When the
United States purchased Louisiana the
government assumed payment of all claims
American citizens might have suffered
from French speliationss It was not till
1880 that Barrett's case was properly
proved, Charles Summer being the attor-
ney. Now, after lapse of half century,
the court Of claims at Washington has al
lowed the claim, and the money will be
paid over as soon as the necessary appro-
prlation bills are passed. POrters share in
the Barrett claim Is onlya tenth, the other
heirs being relations in Massachusetts,.
However, the accrued Interest at per
cent. for eighty years will swell his share
to the snug fortune of 500, 600.
