Ing, If His Deputies Were.
WASHINGTON. May 16.-The Attorney Cen
eral has received report from 7. B. Needles,
of Indian Territory. in regard to the conduct Of
himself and deputies at the opening of Okla
homa territory, on the I'D of April. "As far as
I am concerned" he says, II have not entered
any land or lands town lot or lots, in the Okla
homa district, and have no interest whatever.
directly or indirectly, near or remote, of any
kind or nature, in any land or lease in the ter
ritory. 1 do not know positively as TO my
deputies, but have had an intimation that one
of them has secured town lot in Guthrie, and
one or two have entered quarter sections of
land. am not positive as to this, but will at
once ascertain the fact and report to you. I
have heard of no other violations of the law by
my deputies"
Marshal Needles explains that he did not
fully investigate the action of his deputies be-
cause two special agents of the Land Office
have been engaged for two weeks Investigating
the whole matter, Their reports have been
sent to Washington, and he presumed the At
torney General had been fully advised in re-
gard to them. Attorney General Miller said
this afternoon that it was just to Mr.. Needles
to say that the reports of the special agents
showed that he had helped them materially in
their investigations, and that there was nothing
to show that he had done anything wrong. The
Attorney General added that ho would expect
Marshal Needles TO make an investigation OF
the action of his deputies in entering lands

how Francis D. Dufin, printer, bet $500

The Old and the New.

Mr.. Warmcastle, it is said, will not take his
place as Collector Of Internal Revenue until
the 1st of July, unless the Government should
request him TO do so sooner. He has been dis
tinguishing himself during several days past
as a hustler in the domain of practical politics,
in this line in ward councilmanic contests.
Collector Bigler is ready to step down and out
at any time. He is a Clearfeld county man
and is associated with Senator Belts, of that
county, in . great many business enterprises.
1t is generally thought that Mr.. Warmcastle
was appointed on the expiration of Mr.. Bigler's
term, but the latter gentleman explains that
the office is one for which there is no fixed
tenure. Mr.. Bigler was at Harrisburg when
Senate bill 20 was before the House and labored
among the Democrats in the interest of Mr..
Magee. This may account, IN some measure,
for the fact that his is the first Democratic head
to fall into the basket

THE LAMENT OF THE ROSE.

Tonight I recline, debonalr,
On the breast of ball-room's fair queen,
And my fragrance enriches the air
As she moves in the dances serene;
And drink in her lovers soft words,
As enciycling her Hehe-like waist
he AYERS that Of all the fair flowers
The Jacque rose is most to his taste.
But, alasi far too brief is my JOY,
For tomorrow my reign will be o'er,
And the sweet lips that sounded my praise
In the morning will court me no more;
But instead III be torn all apart
And be thrown In bric-a-brac vase,
Where, forgotten mid spices and salt,
Ill sigh for my halcyon days.

Just One NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

It may not be generally known that Mr..
Warmcastle was the choice of N. P. Reed for
the Pittsburg Postoffice. Mr.. Reed had in
tended him to have it, but Dick Quay
slipped in here one day. and after he slipped
out again saw his father and had it
all fixed for Mr.. Mexican before anything had
been said to Senator Quay about the matter.
This didn't make matters very pleasant, but oil
was thrown upon the troubled waters by the
promise of the internal revenue collectorship
to Mr.. Warmcastle. A gentleman who has re-
Gently been in Washington brings the Intelli-
gence now that there may be some trouble con-
cernipg Mr.. McKean's appointment, from the
fact that Mr.. Harrison likes to have the coun-
try understand that he is President, and not
Mr.. Quay or any other person. Some emphasis
has been laid on the fact that Mr.. Mexican is
especially and particularly MIR. Quay's candi-
date, and Mr.. Harrison may take it into his
the country who holds the appointing power.

Talking About the Harm Of 1t.

Senator Lines, of Susquehanna county, was
in the city yesterday to see Senator Rutan,
whom he found much improved in health He
was here after the adjournment Of the Legis-
lature two years ago. when things seemed diff
ferent between Messrs Quay and Magee. SEN
ator Lines was sorry for the sake of the party
that things are as they are, and said so to Rep
resentatiYe Lemon. The latter agreed with
him, and said he thought it remarkably bad
stroke of policy for the Quay people to bend
their best energies to knocking out the men
who had done the party work and won the
party victories in Allegheny county.
The Magee workers are hustllng for their
chieftain with as much vim as they ever did,
but occasionally some of them remark dole
fully on the fact that they are working the
while against Federal offices. W. A. Magee.
while predicting the usual large amount OF
victory tor his side, wanted to know II it didn't
look just little bit irregular for the Chairman
of the Republican State Committee to come
into county to take the part of one OF the
factions in purely local fight Mr.. Andrews,
however, has claimed all along to be taking no
hand in the quarrel, but 1t is an unconcealed and
unconcealable fact that he has not called upon
the Magee people, nor they upon him, while his
intercourse with the other side has been free
and cordial.

SOME POLITICS In IT.

Echoes From the Local Republican Contest
Everybody Confldenf-The Commander
of the SForces-Ohices and MIR. Quay's
Ability to Get Them.
Colonel Bayne's headquarters are continually
thronged with political workers, coming and
going, and with important members OF the
party dropping in from time to time for con-
sultation. No buster man could be found in
Allegheny county during the past few days
than the Colonel, but despite 1t all he was as
calm and pleasant as though nothing out OF the
regular line was In progress. Aloose fitting dark
gray suit and straw hat has been his uniform,
designed apparently more for comfort than ele-
gance, but worn with characteristic grace
Colonel Bayne had advices from every district,
but declined to give an estimate OF the result
He and his followers express unbounded con-
fdence in their ability to win, but the other
side is not a bit behind in this respect All
through the city and county the hardest kind
of hard work Is in progress. 1--WE are hust-
ling" is the watchword of the hour. That is
nearly all that can be said about the fight. The
rest is merely the details OF what the workers are
doing. The Quay men feel more confident OF
winning the Sixth Legislative district since
Mr.. Cox has abandoned the contest for the.D
rrict Attorneyship, and they refuse to aDso-
lutely and Internationally part from the IDEA
that there has been at least little trouble be-
tween c. L. Maeee and William Finn. There
is an unconcealed hope among them that the
latter may be won over to their side. They
would welcome him with open arms, and they
like to have him know 1t.

something Said to be Wrong.

The noise made over the supposition that the
silent statesman from Beaver was going to boss
this administration is held to have injured
Senator Quay at the White House, and
led to disposition there not to
give him even that which is, speak
ing from the point of the practical politician,
only his due. Captain Delaney, Librarian of
the State Senate who is an applicant for the
position of Commissioner of Registration and
Elections in Utah, is reported to have lost con-
fidence in his chances because of this. There
are five appointees to this commission-three
Republicans and two Democrats. Captain De-
laney practically had the State at his back
when he made the application. All the State
officials, from the Governor down. 48 Senators
and nearly all the Republican members of the
Legislature indorsed him and wrote letters for
him. Both United States Senators indorsed'
him. More remarkable yet, letter of indorse-
ment was sent to Washington in his behalf by
ex-senator Platt, of New York. This was the
only letter of Endorsement written for anyone
by Mr., Platt. The only letter of indorsement
written by N. P. Reed for any candidate for
office was likewise written by him
in Delaney's behalf. In view Of
all this, Captain Delaney expected to be
the first person named on the commission. But
two Republican members of the commission
have been appointed and Captain Delaney is
yet waiting. This is said to make him think he
will get left, and all because Mr.. Harrison
doesn't want it understood that Mr.. Quay is
President. Nevertheless, John Jarrett has
been appointed at the behest of Mr.. Quay, thus
in a measure at least, nullifying such talk.
