1t was busy day for Postmaster General
Wanamaker. He hurried up his correspond
ence, disposed of his visitors with even more
than the usual CELEBRITY, and no doubt thought
out some measures Of reform in addition. He
was eager to leave for Cape May on the As
train with President Harrison, who had
planned to spend Saturday and Sunday at the
seashore with Mrs. Harrison and family. To-
day he hurried down Seventh street and
across the avenue to the station. His car
riage pulled up IN front OF the depot just be-
hind the presidents carriage, which had
brought down from the white house President
Harrison, and ex-senator William j. Sewall,
of New Jersey, who was bound for Cape May
with him. General Sewall alighted first.
He was dressed In dark clothes and had on
black pot hat, tipped pretty far on his
head. He helped the president out.
President Harrison was dressed in his
grey Prince Albert coat and wore his
black silk hat; that too, was tipped pretty
far to the right on his head. They saun.
tered leisurely INTO the station and boarded
a private car which ce-President Thomp-
son, of the Pennsylvania road had sent over
for their accommodation. Postmaster Wan
amaker followed close behind. He had
bundle of books and papers under his arm,
and proceeded into the station ana down to
the car with rather more haste than the
others had used. He was accompanied by
Congressman Buchanan, of New Jersey,
stout and perspiring. The train was Off on
time, and lin spite Of the intense neat u
pleasant evening was promised.
A PRETTY FIGHT.
A pretty fight is on for the post of consul
to Manchester. One candidate is eX-Speaker
John A. Tibbets, of the Connecticut house of
representatives. He was backed first for the
consul generalshp to London. When John
9. New got that his influence pushed him for
Liverpool. When Thomas A. Sherman got
that he was urged for the Manchester place.
Many predict that he will not be disappointed
this time. Senators Platt aud Hawley are
on the spot working hard for him. Another
candidate is a brother-in-law of the vice-pres-
ident William L. Grinnell, at present con-
sui to Bradford. A third candidate is Dan
d. Hubbard, of Grafton Mass, who is
backed by the entire Bay state delegation as
well as the Home Market club of Boston,
and the Arkwright club, which represents
easily S200000,00O. The Massachusetts men
are not on the spot working for him, and it is
predicted that he will fail.
SHAKING THINGS IN INDIANAPOLIS.
There is real pleasure in true administra-
tion circles over the way the civil service
commission is shaking things up In Indianap
oils. 1t is not denied that one of the sea n
dals of President Cleveland's administration
was the open defiance OF the civil service
law Dy AQullla Jones. Inc laSC CIVIL service
commission white washed the Indianapolis
postmaster, and he went on as he had begun
until the close of the last administration
Even the New York World admits that the
understanding now is, hat the law is not to
be violated with imp unity. The charges
against the postmaster AZ Troy were.
promptly investigated, and now at India
nopolis, If the account may be believed, the
commissioners have gone to the root of the
matter. 1t is believed that there is still
plenty of work to be done by the commission
in Washington, New York, Baltimore and
Philadelphia. President Harrison, the
friends of the administration insist may
have been opposed by the self-choscn guar
dians of civil service reform and may not
have been elected on that issue, but he be-
lieves in the reform and will carry it into
effect.
