SELF SUPPORTING PENSIONS.
The Government Civil Servants Want to rs
tablish a Retired List.

The Government Civil Servants Want to rs
tablish Retired List.
Especial TO THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-A number Of
government clerks Of this city are talking
up a scheme for the establishment of civil
service retired list that bids fair to obtain
the sanction of government employees all
over the country, and probably in the end
will receive congressional support. The
proposition is to create pension fund by
subscription from the employees. No ap-
preparation will be asked for. All that is
requested is an act to legalize the measure,
which proposes to deduct from the pay of
every clerk the sum of 81 monthly for the
purpose of establishing fund from which
there shall be paid to every clerk who may
be retired the sum of $40 per month. All
clerks who have served thirty years shall
be eligible to retirement. Service in the
army or navy can be added to service in the
departments.
The proposition has received the endorse
ment of many of the civil service veterans
and of the young men as well who see a
way to promotion by the retirement of the
old men. A number of the bureau officials
of the war department are in favor of the
measure and will probably recommend it in
their annual reports.
1t is well known that there have been
many cases in the department where faith
full clerks who have served thirty, forty
and fifty years, have become incapacitated
by reason OF age, and discharged from
service without a cent. 1t is estimated
that there are between &, 900 and 1900 clerks

A Good Place to Get.

WASHINGTON, April 10-The contest for
the position of superintendent of foreign
mails in the postofice department is becom
ing spirited. The salary attached to the
Office is $500 per year, and the fact that
the new superintendent will attend the i'm
portant postal congress in Europe during
the year, creates unusual interest among
the applicants.
The present appointment clerk, First AS,
sistant Postmaster General E. G. Fowler, is
mentioned as Improbable successor to JOS
eph Ray, chief clerk of the department who
has resigned. 1t is believed Jas. E. Stuart
of Illinois, for many years postoffice inspec
tor, will be appointed chief inspector tC

TERRIBLE SUFFERING.
What the Dakota Farmers Had to LOse-A
Family Barly Escape-Aid for the Sufferers.


Family Barly Escape-Aid for the Sufferers.
MINNEAPOLIS, April 10-Alderman Smith
returned this morning from Sully county,
Oak, where hes went to investigate the
extent of the damages caused by the prairie
fires
1t was a terrible sight, he said. II did not
suppose that the fires were so bad. There
are at least one hundred families in Sulley
county who lost most of the wheat they
had. Some of them saved a few things,
but in most cases nothing was saved. Those
who witnessed the fire told me that the
flames jumped four and five rods, so that
the ordinary fire protection was of no
avail. ...
One man was sick and had daughter in
bed, when he saw the fire coming, and his
wife rushed into the barn to unite the
horses, while he ran to save the girl. He
had Just carried her out on the ploughed
field when the fire sprang upon his house,
his wife barely escaping. The horses were
burned. l saw where 400 sheep were burned
in heap.
The people of Blunt have done good
deal for the sufferers. but they are unable
to do half enough, and hope the good peo-
pie of Minneapolis will put their shoulders
to the wheel at once. Seed wheat is what
they want, particularly now that the spring
season is at hand. Everything that can be
given in the shape of relief ought to be
turned in at once

Fort DODGE, Iowa, April 1O.-The con-
tinued threatening aspect of the river land
settlers, a majority of whom adhere to the
principle of protecting their homes, has re
suited in the indefinite pOstponement of the
evictions for the present. The officials de-
clare they do not desire that blood shall be
shed, but hoped to ovsrwhelm the settlers
with their forces in such manner that
they would submit peacefully. 1t was evil
dent that such could not be accomplished,
and further action has been abandoned
until the present hostility subsidies.

A Mad Dog at Large.

PARKERsBURG, W. Va, April 1O.-The
people of Tyler county along the railroad
are much excited over the appearance of a
dozen mad dogs. Last Friday, dog owned
by Captain Henderson went mad. That
night it attacked animals on Johnsons farm.
johnson went out to defend his stock, and
succeeded in beating the brute off.
The mad animal then started across
the country along the railroad, attacking
and biting dogs, horses, cows and every
living thing in its path. A number of
armed men started after it. After run of
eight miles they came up with the mad
animal and killed it. The country is now
believed to be full of bitten animals, and
great uneasiness is felt among the people.

Especial 10 THE acknowledgements Dispatch
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-lndlan Commls
sioner Oberley anticipates exciting times
when the Oklahoma country is thrown
omen. He does not fear violence as much
as an overflow of the invading by colonists
on lands belonging to the Indians. 1t viii
be three or four months before negotiations
can be completed for the cession OF the
Cherokee strip, and other lands still IN the
hands of the Indian proprietOrs: and III tae
meantime, the colOnistS will have 10 cross
this country on their way to the OklahOlla
lands. Mr.. Oberly is informed that the
= would be settlers are well armed, and mean
I to get the territory at any cost.
THE QUESTION NOW
to be considered by the secretary Of the in
terror and the Encouragement IS Whethef
the cOlonists shall be held on the Kansas
border until the 22d inst, the date when
the territory is open by proclamation OF the
President: orwhether they shall be allowed
to cross the Cherokee strip and reach the
borders of the country which IS to be
opened to settlement. This question VIII
probably be decided to-day. If 1t is decided
that the cOlonists can cross the Cherokee
strip before the 22d inst, an interesting
movement, not unlike that OF an invading
army, viii be begun at once.
TROOPS ARE HELD
in readiness to sustain the civil authorities,
if necessary, in protecting the Indian reser-
vations, but it is thought at the
war department that their mere
presence will be sufficient. Secretary
! Proctor is in constant Geographic com
SmunicatiOn with General Merritt, who IN
command at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas,
through his superior officer, General
Crook, at Chicago, commanding the division
of the Missouri. General Merritt tele-
graphed yesterday that the wOuld-be set
tiers are behaving well anu appear to be
law-abiding citizens. They appear to be,
he says, legitimate settlers of a different
character from the earlier boomers.
SEVEN OR EIGHT HUNDRED TROOPS
are scattered along the border and in the
Indian territory at Fort Supply and Fort
Reno; at Fort Lyons, Colorado, at Fort
Elliott. Texas, and at Fort Hayes, Kansas.
They are mostly made up of detachments
of the Fifth cavalry and Twentieth IN
fantry If the United States marshals are
unable to keep order, theywill be promptly
assisted by the troops, and it would be a
matter Of but a few days before the pres
ent regulars could be trebled or quadru-
pied from the garrisOns in thenOrth.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, April 1O-"Whenever we
find an inefficient Democrat we are going
to discharge him, and fill his place with an
efficient Republican" said Secretary Noble
yesterday morning, land there will be lots
of them"
When asked how soon operations against
the present incumbents would be com
menced under this policy, the secretary
said: Policy! policy! there is no policy
about it. 1t is just common sense. There
has never been any other policy"
THE OCCASION
Of the secretary's remarks was a question
about the recent order to the effect that
heads of bureaus in the interior department
should, when they wished to make va
cancy, first submit the case to him. The
secretary says positively that he did not
issue his order for the purpose of ''calling
down. the commissioner of pensions. land
further, :" said the secretary, Il want to say
that when l issued the order requesting
the heads OF bureaus to first submit theiI
demands for designations to me, had in
view all the bureaus"
COMMISSIONER TANNERS IDEA
about this matter is not one whit more
radical than mine. He is an able man and
an excellent officer, and I am in thorough
accord with him Even in the matter of
making removals of incompetent or ineffi-
cient Democrats and the selection of Re
publicanS, neither of US makes a secret Of
the fact that in recognizing the pension
office and the entire interior department,
Republicans are to be preferred. Just as
far as possible, provided the good of the
service is not overlooked, we want the best
possible service and in getting it we intend
to favor Republicans That order was in
tended to apply to all branches of the ser
vice which l control"
The secretary says that whenever the
service can be benefited by making a
change by discharging a Democrat and APP
pointing a Republican, it will be done; but
he declines to say anything about the de
tails of the policy. He said that the an
nouncement that he mad said the Isl
special examiners in the pension office were
to be discharged in a couple of months was
untrue, and that he never said anything of
the sort.
AS TO Commissioner Tanner in particular,
Secretary Noble said: $50 far as l see
now, do not intend to interpose any OBJ
lection to the institution of any policy he
may desire" Secretary Noble denies the
interview which made him say that a large
number of Democrats are to be discharged
from the pension office and replaced by Re
publicans, though he says whenever an in
efficient Democrat is replaced, it will be by
a Republican
