EsrABLlsHEp 1880 INooRPoRATED 1858 I
GARRISON AWAITING THE AC-
CEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENTS.

co,,a Doubt as to Whether Ellis II.
poberts Will Accept the Assistant
rreasurership at New York-Huston
Exnected at Washington by the
Last of This Week.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The appoint
,,,ant of Ellis H. Roberts as assistant treas
,,rar at New York was made without his
,nowledge. and there is now some doubt as
~ his acceptance of the office The death
of Assistant Treasurer McCue made it es-
santial that there should be as little delay
90 nossibIe in the qualification Of his sue
c.ssor. Neither of his deputies could le-
qally act for him any longer, as under the
law the affairs of the Office must be admin
istered by bonded officer.
HYATT IN CHARGE.
This necessitated the sending of Treasurer
HYATT to New York to take charge Of the Of
fice uDtil the newly appointed sub-treasurer
shall have qualified. Secretary Window
Yesterday telegraphed the state of the case
IN Mr.. Roberts at Utica, and requested to
know his intentions. A reply was received
from Mr.. Roberts this morning. He said
he would leave Utica this morning for New
York to look over the field. He asked for
lDfOrnHJlStll ItEtI u W tAtC DOltd AO1haA OOs
hut said nothing else to signify his accep-
tance of the office. 1t is expected that some
thing more definite will be heard from him
after his arrival in New York.
HEAVY BOND.
The assistant treasurer at New York is
reouired to furnish bond in the sum of
100000. The sureties of Judge McCue are
naturally desirous OF being released from
their obligations, and this can be done only
after his accounts have been settled, requir
ing a count of all the moneys and securities
now in the sub-treasury.
FURTHER COMPLICATION.
The situation is further complicated by
the change in the Office of United States
treasurer. Mr.. Huston, the appOintee, has
telegraphed that he will be in Washington
by the end Of the present week, but so tar
he has not indicated when he will qualify
and relieve Mr. Hyatt. There is an I'M
preston at the department that he will
delay qualifying until affairs in the New
York office have been settled.
ALONG JOB.
1t will take at least five weeks to do this
even if Mr. Roberts accepts the office, as it
will take several days to perfect his bond,
and the count can scarcely be completed
under four weeks A declinatiOn on his
part will delay matters still further. The
transfer of the ureasurers Office at Wash
ington, involving a count of large amount
of money, including 800, 600 in silver,
will also consume about a months time.
SIMULTANEOUS TRANSFER.
While the transfer of the two offices
might be accomplished at the same time, it
would probably interfere to some extent
with the business of the department. The
impression, therefore, is that the examina-
tion of the Washington office will not be
made until after the other examination has
been concluded. The treasurer is required
TO give a bond OF 100000

MEN AND CARS SMASHED.
A Broken Coupling and Misplaced
Switch the Trouble.

Switch the Trouble.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 3-The kets'
Richmond Qnd) special says freight train
on the Chicago, ST. Louis and Pittsburg
railroad, near Centreville. became detached
from the engine at the top of long, high
grade and ran back into the second section,
smashing the locomotive and nine cars.
Six tramps, in a half loaded car, were
badly hurt, and two, who are still under
the wreck, are undoubtedly dead. The
train men escaped by jumping.
A MISPLACED SWITCH.
ST. PAUL, MINI, April 3.-Reports were
received here late last night of a bad rail
road wreck on the Northern Pacific road
near Mis5oula, Mont. About S o'clock a
passenger train ran into a freight, and a
green freight fireman and two tramps who
were stealing a ride were killed, and others
were injured. The accident was caused by
a misplaced switch.
AN ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN.
PITTSBURGH, April "A special from
Mansfield, o.. says a fiendish attempt was
made to wreck the Pennsylvania limited
vestibule passenger train No. 5, at LOUIS
vile, near Canton. about IL o'clock last
night. Eight pieces of iron, such as are
used TO fasten "I" rails together were
tightly wedged into a switch near the
Town. An edSb Dound passenger
train passed safely over the obstruction, but
an unusual jolting caused the train men to
be alarmed and they reported the matter
TO the operator. He Investigated the cause,
and sopped the limited before it reached
the switch. His efforts to take the irons
out Of the switch by hand proved futile.
The firemen had to be sent back to the
engine and with hammer he procured,
they we're forced out. They had been placed
in the switch with the east end raised so as to
derail west bound trains, while allowing east
bound TO pass over with only little jar
ring The switch is only 80 feet from a
bridge, and the momentum would have
thrown the whole train into the creek, and
the consequences would have been terrible.
The train which il was sought e. wreck had
more passengers than it usuallv has, a
ma jority OF whom we're from New York and
Phila lelphia. But few Of them discovered
the reason why the flyer was stopped.

A POSTMASTERSHIP ROW
HARRISON REFUSES TO BE RUN
By QUAY AND CAMERON.

he Declares That Field Shall Be Ap-
pointed Postmaster of Philadelphia
Despite Their Attempts to Brow
beat Him-They Reply That They
VIII Defeat His Confirmation.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-Senators Quay
and Cameron went to the white
house together, the first thing this
morning, and formally presented to the
President their protest against the appoint
rnent of John Field, to be postmaster of
Philadelphia. Their interview lasted half
an hour. They told the President that the
Postmaster General had not considered
either their wishes, or those of any OF the
other party leaders in selecting Mr.. Field,
and that his appointment would damage
the party in Philadelphia and the state.
They told the President that in local politics
Mr.. Field was no better than a mugwump,
that he had again and again opposed the
republican party and defeated republican
candidates.
BITTER AND DETERMINED.
His opposition, they said, had been deter
mined and 1t times bitter. Senator Quay
said that ne had personally sustained abuse
0U MI. IlclUS udtltlS. EoeudiO- 1dLIcTOu
siid that his political plaus had besn
thwarted by Mr.. Field. They said that
they would not insist upon Mr.. Leeds or
any other candidate as against Mr. Field ;
any good republican would do. They would
rather have Postmaster Harrity remain as
an out and out democrat than TO have Mr..
Field put in. They notified him that if he
did appoint Mr.. Field he would not be con-
firmed.
HARRISON READS THE RIOT ACT.
The President talked even more than the
senator's. He told them pretty plainly that
he did not propose to be dictated TO in this
or any other matter by senators or repre-
sentatIves. He proposed to do what he
thought right aud best regardless of conse-
quences, always availing himself, of course,
of advice. In this particular instance he
should take the advice Of the postmaster
general. The postofice in question was
in the postmaster generals own city. He
was quite competent to pick out good
man for it, first-class business man such
as was wanted in offices Of the sort. He
understood that the Postmaster General
had always done so, and that the man
picked out had, at the Postmaster Generals
request, consented to serve. That being
the case, he thought he would have to
appoint him. 1t is believed that Mr.. Field
will be appointed very soon.

TAHITI AND THE TORNADO.
Many Persons Drowned-Thirty Per
ished on Tonga.

tSn0O on Tonga,
AUCKLAND, April 3.-The recent hurri-
cane in the South Pacific ocean caused
great damage on the island of Tahiti.
Parts of the island were submerged and
many persons were drowned. On the
island of Tonga the hurricane created great
havoc. Thirty persons persisted there III
the storm.
THE TRENToN's VALUABLE GUNS.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Trenton
when wrecked at Samoa carried down
with her some fire modern rihed guns.
These might be readily placed on some
other vessel or used for the fortificatiOn of
the new naval station at Pago-Paso if they
can be recovered. Consequently some Curl
osity is expressed by naval officers as to
whether Admiral Kimberly has taken steps
to raise the guns from the shallow harbor.
1t is unlikely that the navy department.
| will proceed to establish a naval station at
the harbor of Pago-Pago on the Samoan
| islands until the Berlin conference col
cludes its work The last congress appro-
priated 100000 for this purpose and the
| money is now available but IL IS thought
that any radical step at this juncture might
| tend to jeopardise the success OF the co1-
| ference.
Besides 600 tons Of coal that were sent out
to Samoa on board the Monongahela and
W ich should be there now the ship Sachem
which sailed from New York a fortnight
ago earring 1000 tons should make the pas
sage in about ninety-fve days.
TO REMAIN AT APIA.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-The navy pay
Office in this city has been ordered by the
Washington authorities to forward to Sa-
moa by the steamer Zsalandia all mail adj
dressed to naval officers at Samoa. This
order causes navy pay employees to believe
| that Admiral Kimberly and all the officers
except those who came here in charge of
men will remain at Apia for some months
| to come.
THE CRUISER CHARLESTON NEARLY READY.
The cruiser Charleston is almost ready for
sea- The members of the examining board
are on the grounds making the preliminary
examination. Her propeller blades are in
position and her keel is being painted.
| All the larger machinery is in place
and only minor details are to be at
te ded to before she will be ready for sea.
| 1t Is expected that steam will be in her main
engines and boilers by Monday next and
the trial trip will be made within the next
two weeks. She will be taken for trial to
| Santa Barbara channel and then proceed to
the navy yard at Mare Island.
1t is rumored that the German man-Of-
war Olga, which was beached in the recent
storm at Apia has been fioated.

Conserva off Norfolk, Va, one day last

WASHINGTON, April 3.-No apprehension
is felt at the navy department on account Of
the United States steamer Brooklyn, which
a British steamer reported with a broken

was broken while on the Chinese station,
and led to her being ordered ho under
