&>WAsHINGToN, May 9. - The irritation
among the Pacific slope Republicans over
the way in which Mr.. Osborne was passed
over for Mr. Palmer in the appointment of
the public printer has been increasing
rather than diminishing. Up to the date Of
Palmer's entry upon the scene Mr.. Os-
borne's chances were considered to be of
the best. He was a Blaine delegate to
Chicago and Mr.. Blaine asked as personal
favor thas he be appointed. Palmer was
HalfOrd's candidate and he won. The little
finger of the private secretary proved
more potent than the whole body of the
secretary o. state.
One of the reasons given out for Palmer's
appointment was that he was nearer the
right age. being siXty-twO, while Osborne
is only forty. II this argument rises above
the dignity of a subterfuge it gives the
young men of the Republican party solid
food for thought.
The Californians are very much dis
gruntled. The only thing they have got
worth mentioning is the Japanese mission,
and if this is the reward they get for saving
California to Harrison, they say it viii
hardly be worth the effort another time.

CHICAGO, May 9.-The taking of deposi-
tions in the suit brought against the man
agement of the home for incurables was
begun to-day under order of court.
The dispositions of a number of the in
mates of the Institution were taken. They
are generally of a tenor to sustain the allie
cations in the complaint filed couple of
days ago.
The unfortunates were very 10th to tes-
tify, number of them declaring they
would be made to suffer for it. Their
stories were pitiful, and told of neglect and
cruel treatment from the matron aud at
PENDANTS.
Two of the patients testified that on the
morning before the night that James Bot
ton died they heard conversation between
to the proposition to tie down Bottoms
hands as he was troublesome. Mrs Barlow
agreed and next morning Bottom was
found dead in bed with his hands tied and
his face and eyes blackened by blows
Other inmates testified that paralytic
was forced to walk without shoes or stock
ings in the snow from one building to an
other and that patients suffering from
chronic dyspepsia were not allowed to have
food as prescribed by the physicians and
nearly starved to death; that another pa
tent suffering from spinal affection, was
forced to sit in a stiff straightforward chair
causing him intense suffering; and gener-
ally that the patients were treated with
abuse and cruelty.

Especial TO TIE HERALD-EXaminer Dispatch J
WAsuINGToN, May "a representative of
tac Examiner called on Attorney-G General
Miller YESTERDAY afternoon to make some
inquiry in regard to the delay in the APP
pSntment of the marshals and district at
torneys for the Pacific slope.
1t has frequently been stated in these dis
patches that no appointments would be
made unless there was vacancy or until
the time of the present incumbents expires
'rnis information came from a reliable
source and was a fOreshadowing of the
policy to be pursued by President Harrison,
which has been steadily carried out. At
tOrney-G General Miller said that the Pacific
coast delegation, particularly the California,
has impressed upon him that there was no
immediate hurry for these appointments.
and consequently ne had given the subject
no thought.
Oregon has made no recommendation for
any change, and it seems agreed that none
will be made there for some time. The at
torney- general was surprised when the
Examiner correspondent told him that the
candidates for the various positions were
getting somewhat uneasy and would like
the administration to hurry up little.
81 am only carrying out the recommend
alton of the congressional delegations. If
tAey ask us to do certain things we try and
comply with their wishes Don't under
stand me to say these appointments would
have been made but for the recommends
ton; but their request not to appoint them
has relieved the administration, and moth
ing will be done in regard to these Califor
MIA appointments until the delegation comes
- some conclusion IN the matter"

The Imposition of Duties Upon Canadian Cars
Entering the United States.

The Imposition of Duties Upon Canadian Cars
Entering the United States.
Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch I
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The hearing given
yesterday by SecretaryWindOm and Assis-
tant Secretary Tichenoron the subject of
assessing duties on Canadian cars coming
into this country, will probably settle the
matter in favor of continuing the present
free interchange without duties.
The railroad men who appeared were all
opposed to Secretary Fairchild's order i'm
posing such duty. They were Benjamin
Flagler, representing the Michigan Central
railroad; General o. L, Spaulding, repre-
senting the Chicago & Grand Trunk, and
d. V. Bell and Henry Russell, of Detroit,
counsel for the Michigan Central. These
gentlemen stated that the exemption of
Canadian built cars from duty, when en-
gagged in international traffic, had been,the
practice of the treasury department from
1869 up to last January, when Secretary
Fairchild had directed the assessment of
duty on certain new cars which
The day following this direction
the secretary ordered its suspension until
further examination by the department,
but instructed the collectors to keep ac-
count of the number of cars that entered
and the amount of duty to which they
would be liable. The gentleman argued
that the old practice had become in effect
the law of the land, and that under it
thousands of dollars had been spent in
building up the carrying trade between
the east and the northwest. They admitted
that there was no statute and nothing in
the treaty of Washington which authorized
the exemption from duty. But the practice,
they argued, had been sanctioned and it
should not be abolished unless by congress
siOnal enactment.
To enforce the collection of the duty
would be a positive embargo npon com
merce and would render worthless millions
of dollars worth of property. 1t would not
benefit American car builders because it
would lead to retaliation from Canada
There are, the gentleman stated, more
American cars used in Dominion traffic in
Canada than there are Canadian cars in
domestic traffic in the United States.

Sympathy for Our Sorrows.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Secretary Blaine
is in receipt of dispatch from Merrill
United States minister at Honolulu, dated
April u last, saying that on the 9th of that
month number of the survivors of the
wrecked feet at Samoa had reached Homo!
lulu, where their presence created profound
sympathy among the government and peO-
pie of those islands.
In note of April 6 to Merrill the Ha-
waiian minister for foreign affairs assured
him of the deep sympathy of the Ha-
waiians with the distress which had thus
fallen on the American people generally,
and expresses an honest Cdesire that he,
Merrill, will freely avail himself of any
possible means at the disposal of the gov
eminent which may be of service to the
officers and men, the survivors of the
wreck in question.
Merrill promptly returned the thanks of
the government of the United States for
the kind offer thus made. The secretary
of the navy, through Merrill, sent note Of
thanks for the kind expressions of sym
pathy and courteous offer of services and
asking that the graceful acknowledge
of the navy department be appropriately
communicated to his Hawaiian majesty.
A government copy of Secretary Tracey's
letter has been forwarded to Mr.. Merrill,
in order that his wishes may be fittingly
complied with

Archbishop Walsh on Irish Afrairs.

LONDON, May Archbishop Walsh con-
tinued before the Parnell commission. He
testified that the facts that come to his
knowledge proved that the league tende
to diminish crime. There had been grad
ual decrease in secret societies in Ireland
since 1866. He was aware the league ad-
vised tenants not to enter the land court
after the passage of the act establishing
that court in 1881. Subsequent events JUS
titled Ethat advice. He only knew of one
instance where the league had been in
discreet. This indiScretion consisted of the
passage of a resolution by a branch of the
league to publish in its district a list of
persons not members of the league. He
protested against this action and the publ
cation of the list was thereupOn abandoned.
AS the league spread secret societies van
ish. The people had learned to prefer open
parliamentary action and dislike secrecy.
Throughout his diocese cases of boycotting
had been few, although tho league was
strong in that district. The only sense in
which boycotting ought to be tolerated
came under the name of exclusive dealing;
anything like intimidation was reprehens
i've. The members of the league held that
bOycotting kept the country free from out
RACES. The witness did not approve of
refusing to sell the necessaries of life to
man under the boycott understood the
plan of campaign TO be purely voluntary
combination that did not imply boycotting.
Atkinson, counsel for the Times, here
quoted from pastoral issued by the arch
bishop in 1882, denouncing the movement
not to pay debts as a forcible resistance to
the law.
Archbishop Walsh said the pastoral had
been issued in consequence of an increase
in the number of secret societies, owing to
the disorganization of the league under the
imprisonment of its leaders and while the
people were driven to despair by evictiOns.

II Was Not Done.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch. !
WASHINGTON, about six weeks ago l
telegraphed you that J. p. Witcher, of Vir-
giRia city, had been appointed United
yates district attorney for Nevada in place
vi Hayden, removed. 1t now transpires
that there is some hitch in the matter.
When Senator Stewart left for home
some two weeks ago he was assured by the
President that the appointment would be
made at once, and sent the papers and rec
concentrations to the attorney general,
where they now are. Inquiry was made at
the department of Justice yesterday and l
was informed that Mr.. Witchers appoint
ment had not been made. 1t was not
known when it would be made and the
likelihood was that it would fall by the
way.
Senator Jones, who arrived from New
York last night, will call upon the Presi-
dent and attorney general to-day in regard
to the matter.
The appointment of Mr.. Witcher was
agreed upon by the Nevada delegation
early in April and was so recommended to
President Harrison, who promised to make
the appointment. It has not been done and
Senator Jones viii try and find out to-day
the reason.

meeting of the stockholders Of the At
Gibson, Topeka & Santa F'e railway here
to-day, 62l,S1l shares were represented.
This was the largest vote ever cast at a
meeting of the company, there being 10000
shares more than were ever before repre-
scented. A unanimous vote was cast for the
following directors: Benjamin F. Cheney,
William b. Strong, A F.. Spear, Boston;
G. X. Holiday, Topeka; 7. p. Purcell,

request of Strong. Resolutions were
passed transferring the presidents office

cation. The presidents removal to the
west, to give his entire attention to the
management of the property, rendered it
desirable that the functions of the chair
man of the board should be somewhat en-
larged upon basis which has been found
to work so well in the cases of other large
systems.
George c. Magoun was elected chairman
of the board. Executive and finance COM
mittees were elected, consisting of Magoun,
Strong, Cheney, Spear, Barring, Peabody
Abbott Before the adjournment Strong
