Mistakes When the Incumbent Was

ord-A Vote to Disfrsnchise Ex-COn-
federates and to Offer Reward for
Ex-Gov. Harris His Errors.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Several weeks
ago at the request of leading Democrats
of East Tennessee, Maj. j. II. Wagner
was appointed United States Pension
Agent at Knoxville TO succeed Robert
Taylor, the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor. The new appointee was Major OF
the Thirteenth Tennessee cavalry in the
Union army and was gallant
soldier. Immediately after his APP
pointment Democrats of East
Tennessee came here and urged
Secretary Lamar to recommend TO the
President reconsideration of the case and
revocation of the appointment on the
ground that as a member Of the Legisla-
ture in 1865 Maj. Wagner voted to dis
franchise eX-CUnfederates, and also voted
for the resolution to offer reward for the
appre hension OF Ex-Governor (now Sena-
tori lsham q. Harris. To-day Secretary
Lamar made the following response to
the persons VINO were demanding recon-
sidera ion of the case "The Secretary of
the Interior declines to recommend the
revocation OF Maj. Waganer's commission
As pension agent at Knoxville, Tenn"
HIGH RECOMMENDATIONS.
He saws Maj. Wagner was appointed
apon the recommendation OF the leading
and best citizens of Tennessee. All the
parties represented him as a man quail
fed in integrity, intellect and character
for the duties OF the position, and as a
man endeared to the people by his con-
sistent support during the past twenty
gears of their highest and best interests.
The fact brought out against him since
mis- commission was issued that he had
given an unjust and unwise vote for dis
reimbursement when he was a young
man not more than II years of
age, Immediately after the war,
when the passions Of both sides were
reused TO the highest pitch, should not
now be used TO ostracise him from public
trust among people to whose rights and
interests he has ever since been true and
loyal. We have all been contending that
the issues of the war and the passions
growing out of 1t should not be kept alive,
and / do not know OF any instance in
which the precept can better be enforced
by example than this. Both sides in Ten
nessee showed courage TO fight. l am
confident they have also that higher
quality-magnaniml mutually to for

SILK-MAKING EXPERIMENTS.
Keeling Silk Begun at the Agricul.
tural Department.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The question as
to whether silk could be made in this
country was yesterday answered very
satisfactorily in the affirmative in one of
the anneXes in the Agricultural Depart
ment, where for the first time the new
machine for Keeling silk was put in ope-
ration. The cOcoons from which the silk
were being wound were all made by silk
worms born and reared in various Sec
tions of the United States, some coming
from Texas, Utah, Maine and
Florida, so that from first to last 1t was
purely a domestic manufacture. The
cocoons, looking for all the world like
large peanuts, were first placed in a hot
water bath 10 make the thread less brit
tie. They were then conveyed to the ma
chine, which is the invention of an Ameri-
can, placed in another basin OF water. the
silk thread was secured and conveyed
over series of wheels and drums TO the
reels, where soon quantity OF beautiful
strong yellow silk thread testified
to the success OF the scheme.
An ingenious mechanism operated
by electricity regulates automati-
gree OF fineness. There are six pairs of
reels TO the machine, but only two were
working yesterday as an experiment. On
Monday it is expected that all of them
will be at work. At present the only en-
ployes are Frenchman and his wife,
who were imported 10 teach Americans
how to reel silk. On Monday five American
girls will begin their experience as reel
ers. The plant ia under the superintend-
ence of Mr.. Philip Walker, a thorough
machlnist and electrician.

LIBERAL TO A FAULT.

Lockroy Uses Government Money
to Subsidize a Labor Congress.
PARIS, Oct. 23.-A curious discovery ia
now puzzing the politicians of Paris. Re.
Gently workmen's congress was held in
the city of Lyons. The attendance was
large and the audience enthusiastic, Dur.
ing one OF the sessions the anarchist ele.
ment secured predominance. They be.
came rampant and finally tore down
the tricolor. 1t now transpires
that the congress was subsidized by
the government. 1t is explained that the
proposal to hold the congress did NOT
meet with favor among the various trades
unions, and that NJ. Lockroy, Minister OF
Commerce, in order to save the project
from failure, obtained railway passes TOR
all delegates who would go, and provided
money from the State Treasury to help
pay the expenses Of the congress.
