Postmaster-Ge General yilas's Protest on til,
Civil Service Extension Excites MucI
! Interest--An important Point Regard
ing che Duties of Gold, silver ami
4 Lead Ores.
WASHINGTON, July 81. The repeated pro
test BY Postmaster-G General Villas againsi
the extension Of the civiiservice rule to EN-
lployes of the railway mail service, has ex
cited considerable interest in Washington
and nuineroue requests have been made fol
| a copy Of the letter. Diligent inquiry fails
to establish the existenceof any such letter.
It is probable that whatever formal pro.
test the Postmaster made was an oral
one, and it may have been made il cahinet
meeting.
AN IMPORTANT POINT REGARDlNG DUTIES
ees dRrss 3 .s
Senator Edmunds presented to the SEN
ate to-day report OF the judiciary COM
mittee on the laws relating to the importa-
tion of lead, gold and silver ores.
The Senate on June 18th adopted reso-
Tuition asking the committee to investigate
the subject of the Importation free of duty
OF lead ores. The committee says: That
lead ore in its legal and commercial sense
is dutiable at LIZ cents pound, but from
an examination OF the papers on the sub
ject referred to the committee it appears
that the question involved is important OF
what are known TO the Treasury Depart
nent as gold and silver ores. In the case
of this character the committee inclines to
the opinion that when they contain more
lead than gold or silver in quantity, but
more of gold or silver in value, lead is not
subject to duty.
Prior to the act of 'S3 these ores were
known as gold and silver ore, and it is to
be assumed that Congress knew OF this COM
merciai Interpretation when the law was
enacted.
Senator Call to-day proposed an amend
ment to
THE CIVIL sUNDRY BILL,
to appropriate $4,000 for the repair
and enlargement of the Salt Lake. Utah,
penitentiary.

THAT ALLEGED INTERVIEW.
senator blackburn Says the Story Said
- Come from Judge Rucker
Is UnqualiAedIy False.

NEW YORK, Nov 16 The World has the
following special dispatch:
LOUISVILLE, Nov. Il.
In regard to the interview alleged to have
occurred between Judge Rucker, OF Denver.
and President Cleveland, the week before
Election, at which Senator Blackburn was
present and Joined the president in bitterly
censuring Hewitt, Grant and Hin, Senator
Blackburn says:
Il hope Judge Rucker win disavow the
utterances attributed TO him for his own
sake II he authorized this publication, then
have only to say that for two reasons, both
conclusive, he has placed himself beyond re-
cognition by decent men; first, because he
proposes to publish to the world, without
authority, private conversation, In the
shape of an interview OF his own seeking;
and, secondly, because there is not an atom
OF truth in the statement of that private in
terview, as / find it in The Courier Jour
nal"
II took Mr.. Ruclxer, an ex-Kentuckian,
and introduced him to the president at his
own request. 1t was not one week, but
several weeks before the election The inter-
view lasted but few minutes, there being
no business to transact. The president men,
toned neither Mr.. Hewitt's nor Mr.. Grants
name, nor did any one else. The president
never limited, however remotely, at any sus-
picion that he was to be traded off or foully
dealt with by any one, either in New York
or anywhere else. On the contrary, he spoke
hopefully of the outlook, but added.
substantially, that he was prepared to
abide by any verdict that the peo-
pie might see fit to render. He did refer
TO the political situation in New York, ex-
pressing hope that matters would be har-
monized and Strengthened up to our satisfac-
tom
''In the hour of Mr.. Cleveland's power
was not his eulogist," continued Mr. Black
burn; Gin the hour of disaster will not allow
myself to be made an accomplice to his abuse.
He has given this country competent, faith
full and clean administration, which stands
out in bold and pleasing reliefs to what had
preceded it. He may have made mistakes as
politician or party leader, but he made
none in his honest efforts to make good the
pledges that he and his party had given to
the American people to Tighten their burdens
and advance their best interests.

The Romantis Story of How "a Mother
Found Her Missing Child.

The Romantis Story of How "a Mother
Found Her Missing Child.
PITTsBURG, Nov. 1.-"I am Mrs. Heine-
man, the mother of Minnie Rogers
The words were uttered by an old woman
whose face was full of wrinkles and her hair
nearly snow white. She had come to the
office of the inspector of police, and as she
uttered the words she supported herself by
resting on the back of a chair.
Fifteen years ago Mrs Heineman was left
widow. She resided at Brush Station, on
the Pennsylvania railroad, and was in needy
circumstances. Minnie was then a bright
little girl, and the story of her life reads like
romance Among the residents of Brush
Station was a well to do family named
Rogers. They had no children, and
Minnie was a great favorite with
them. After much persuasion Mrs
Heineman consented to let the Rogers
family adopt Minnie. Soon after this her
foster parents left the little village on the
Pennsylvania railroad and Travelled abroad,
taking Minnie with them. The mother lost
all track of the child, but for five years she
made every effort to find her daughter, when
she gave up the search.
Several weeks ago Inspector McAleese re-
ceived a letter from St Louis, signed by Miss
Minnie Rogers, inquiring about Mrs. E. E.
Heneman, her mother. The letter was pub
lished in all the newspapers of the city, but it
was not until Monday last that the mother
was discovered
Miss Rogers resides in st. Louis and is well
fixed financially. She win visit this city
shortly, when mother and daughter will be
reunited after separation of fifteen years.

A Story Which Says He Intends to Make

A Story Which Says He Intends to Make
Many New States.
CHICAGO, Nov. ia News special from
Indianapolis says:
Gen. Harrison is daily growing more un-
easy about the complexion of the next house
OF representatives, and his anxiety today
took the form of personal kilograms to sew
eral of the disputed districts asking for in
formation. The politicians here believe that
the Democrats viii either control the next
house, or that the Republican majority viii
be so small that it cannot be depended upon,
especially for tariff bill
"But it is not the coming tariff bill which
is the point to which Gen. Harrison is chiefly
directing his attention. Without Republi-
can house he fears that he viii not be able to
effect the admission of the new states into the
Union, and upon these admissions he has set
his heart. Out of the generals house comes
the statement that Harrison means to admit
Dakota as two states and let in all the other
territories that are large enough, including
Utah and New Mexico, thus marking his
administration on the pages of American
history in way not soon to be forgotten.
The Utah problem can be solved by a state
constitution acceptable to the nation, and
New Mexico cannot be left out when the
Others come in.
This is not guess work, but it is pro-
gramme which the pr esident elect outlined
to friend not three days ago.
