WOODRUFF ON THE RACK.
The Confidential Clerk Subjected to q
Rigid contamination.

New YORK, Sept 17.-In the Ives case this
morning Woodruff again took the stand. In
answer to questions he stated that he was born
in Newark, NJ, and had attended the public
schools in that city. The witness said that he
and Ives were clerks together.
"Were you intimate with Ives?" asked
counsel.
II don't know what you mean by that" was
the reply.
Were you on good terms with him2"
"Our acquaintance was merely casual one"
the many places he held in his life time One
day after he had been with Ives about five
months the latter came to him and told
him he was partner in the business
Woodruff said all right and that he was glad Of
it. 1t was understood that Woodruff was to get
Is per cent Of of the profits. This continued
for about three months. In the year 1886 the
name Of the firm was Henry F. Ives Co. The
company was Woodruff. All he had to do was
ito obey Mr.. Ives.
stsrHRN YOU WERE AN AUToMAroN
and did nothing unless you were ordered?"
'well, that is getting it down pretty fine"
came the reply.
Eyes it is, but that was your position accord
ing to your statement"
stayner objected to him as partner, but
later on stayner denied this. He con-
date of the assignment. The witness had heard
that he had been elected secretary Of the G. II.
and ID. railroad, but how, where, or when he
heard this he was unable to tell. He had not
sought the Office. Mr.. Stayner was opposed to
everything he, Woodruff did on general
principle. Between the heat Of the court room
and the fiery ordeal Of a cross examination,
Woodruff suffered much. The perspiration
down his forehead and face in streams and his
immaculate shirt bosom and collar became
wilted early in the legal tilt. Woodruff tried
to look cool and unconcerned, but his efforts
were futile. Today Woodruff fell back many
times upon the Il don't know" principle but
counsel followed him up unrelentingly.
when was the partnership between Ives
Stayner, and Doremus formed?"

Maurice AdIer's Condition Unclaimed
More Bad Weather Ahead.

The eastern edge Of the weather map this
morning was plentifully sprinkled with black
spots, giving little or no hope for the fisher
men who have made plans for the morrow, the
excursionists who have been watching the map
for days, or the base ball enthusiast who wants
TO see the Giants play. The lower left hand
corner OF the sheet contained this information:
The cyclone reported yesterday morning is
central in the east gulf; maximum velocities of
from forty-six TO sixty miles hour are re-
ported from the Florida coast. Vessels sailing
east and south from the gulf ports will encoun-
ter heavy easterly gales A storm of slight in
tensity is also central over Lake Superior. The
following heavy rainfalls were reported: Chat
tanooga, LILO; Harrisburg L30; Jupiter, l.30;
Knoxville, LIS; Nashville, 1.96
The morning forecast for this region was for
rain, westerly Winds lower temperature"
Storm signals are displayed on the gulf coast
from Key West to New Orleans and at Jupiter
dispatch from Key West states that there is
great uneasiness there on account Of the cy-
clone yesterday afternoon. Reports from Ha-
vana indicated that the cyclone center was
south of that city, moving westward. Accord
ing to Gen Greely's idea the chances are that
this cyclone will not trouble in this vicinity.

NOR that Maloney had thrown her down

Mr.. Tanners Orders Rescinded.

Acting Commissioner Smith has, it is under
stood, reversed the order directing that pen
sioners receiving less rate than "a per month
can upon application be examined for reratins.
This order was issued by Commissioner Tan
ner. Mr.. Smith has also, it is said, rescinded
the order that the evidence of one reputable
private soldier would be regarded as sufficient
to establish the cause of disability of a COM
rade. The old practice has been resumed to
require the evidence of one commissioned off,
Ger or two private soldiers.
The acting commissioner when asked today
about the reversal OF these orders Of Mr.. Tan
ner refused to say whether he had or not A
STAR reporter learned from other sources that
the orders had been signed by Mr.. Smith. The
latter, however, it is understood, has the fear
OF Mr.. Tanners fate before his eyes, and he
therefore deems it the part of wisdom not to
talk at all

THE DOCK LABORERs RETURN.
Some Cases Of Disturbance, but They
Are Soon Quelled.

LONDON, Sept, II, noon.-The advice Of the
leaders Of the strike to the dock iaborers to OBJ
serve all the provisions of the agreement under
which they returned to work appears to have
been quite effectuaI Early this morning the
men appeared at the docks and generally went
to work peaceably with the 'blacklegs." Very
few men assembled outside the docks. They
were quiet. There were. however some cases
Of disturbance. The strikers and "blacklegs"
on the southwest India dock became involved
in a dispute, and the men who had been on
strike drove the .'blacklegs" out Of the dock.
The police interfered and quelled the dis
turbance. The strikers then withdrew and the
"blacklegs' resumed work.
Afternoon.-The disturbances among the
dock laborers have been quelled. Work has
been fully resumed ON the Victoria and West
India docks. There has been no further mo-
lestation Of the 'blacklegs" on the part Of the
strikers

THE WASHINGTON MEN.
The local players have entered with deter

steady game. He 10 practicing this afternoon

good judgment. His terrific drives to the back
line are almost impossible to return. Wood

A WELL-LAID SCHEME.
But Will It Work?-Mr. Tanner and the
| District Recordership Of Deeds.

Corporal Tanners friends are still working
with all their might to get the recordership Of
deeds OF the District. They are trying to con-
vert Mr. Tanner into citizen of the District
and to get Endorsements for him from local re-
Publicans through the Grand Army.
OF course their purpose in getting local in
dorsements is to make it appear, if the appoint
ment is made, that it was upon these indorse-
ments and not in accordance with any bargain
made when Tanner went out Of the pension
Office.
1t is entirely probable that whoever made
the proposition to Mr.. Tanner on the night Of
his resignation did so without any authority
from the President, but they are leaving no
stone unturned to fulfill their obligation.

DIRECTORsHIP OF THE MINT.
An Important Appointment Which Il
Expected to be Announced Soon.

There il feeling throughout the Treasury
department that new director Of the mint
win be appointed within few days or weeks.
Considerable surprise has been expressed on all
sides that the administration has not taken
steps already TO secure . head 10 this impor-
tant bureau who could harmonic with the
policy that might be brought for
ward. In fact this Office is
regarded a: being one Of the most
finances, and the fact that il has
been untitled thus far has to some extent
created the impression that the administration
was going to let
THE SILVER QUESTION
severely alone. But it seems that this Is not
the case, and the prevalent idea is that the
President has only been deferring this
matter to more opportune time. The law
provides that this officer shall be appointed for
period Of five years, but this has never been
followed.
Director Burchard's resignation was called
for before his time was up, and now, it seems
that Secretary Window has performed
the same service for DIR. Kimball, the
incumbent. 1t is conceded that the computer
Of the mint, Mr.. Edward o. Leech, who has
been connected with the service for many
years and has established reputation as one Of
the best posted men on coinage matters
in the department. is the most promising can
didate in the field, and his appointment Is con-
fdently predicted.
He is said to have been strongly Endorsed
by solid republican influence from the Pacific
slope as well as by equally heavy backing from
the east.
