is plenty of important business to occupy
MI Blaine as soon as he takes hold of
! the affairs at the state department. Tn
doubtedly the first thing VIII be to con-
slider the treaty Of reciprocity with Ven
eZulea. A treaty was arranged some
time ago and agreed to be the Venezue-
Ian II ulster here, but was rejected by
the home government. Minister Scruggs,
our representative in Venezuela arrived
here yesterday with a draft of a new
treaty in his pocket which he knows will
be acceptable to Venezuela as it was
formally approved by the leading Cfti-
cials Of that country before he left there.
Other reciprocity treaties with southern
counties are pending and will now be
brought TO an issue 1t is possible that
the one with Columbia will be among
the first to have attention after that Of
| Venezuela.
| Our Chinese relations are somewhat
precarious apd it is expected that Mr..
Blaine will at once take hand in solving
the troubles which that country is hav-
| ing with the United States, Great Brit
ain and Germany over the i'll treatment
of citizens Of these countries residing in
| China The Chilian complication is out
of the way so far as the diplomacy is con-
cerned, although it yet remains to give
formal recognition to the new govern
ment. Minister Eagan is regarded as
| quite secure in his position as he has the
personal friendship of Mr.. Blaine.
United States Senator Hansbrough of
South Dakota is here and says the two
| Dakotas are strong for President Harri-
son and his administration.
Hon. Cornelius N. Bliss, the well
known New York republican aid one of
the most level men in the coun-
try, is here and says: "TLe nomination
of Mr.. Fassett for governor was good
one. The party is united and Mr.. Fas
sett is making an active and brilliant
campaign. He is young, capable and
popular, and our folks are very confident
Of his election. The party is in excel
state and the change of comparatively
few votes is sufficient to change the re-
suit. l make no predictions, but GER
tainiy everything looks promising for
Fassett. The indications are that there
will be very heavy republican vote in
the state and Flower must have very
| large majority in the city to overcome it.
On the other hand, believe Tammany
will lose many votes in the city. The
question is, Shall Tammany control New
York politics, and do not think the peo-
t pie shall consent that Tammany shall
rule?"
James Il. Austin, a clerk in the sixth
auditors office, few days ago sent to
Auditor Coulter letter in which he sets
forth that he was a believer in the relig-
iouS doctrine that the seventh day in
stead Of the first is the scriptural Sab
bath, and that he had conscientious
scruples against working on Saturday.
He asked if some arrangement could be
made by which he could be relieved from
SCI lAC oI tl1ob N0J huuilo1 OOoAISA
could not see his way clear to accede to
the request and officially referred the
letter to Secretary Foster. The secre-
tary was in like quandary, and in turn
referred the letter to Assistant Secretary
Crounse, who is a good Presbyterian,
and asked him to report, which he
did to day. Judge Crounse says that
in his opinion the department can
not change usual days of labor to accom-
modate itself to this mans religious be-
| lief. He expressed the opinion that
the Mosaic law is obsolete and that if Mr..
Austin's conscience smites himself so Sc
verely that he cannot be at his desk on
Saturday there is no way for him but to
resign. The judge thinks there will be
no difficulty in filling the vacancy. He
says he has the utmost respect for Mr.
Austin's religious opinions, but the gov
ernment cannot give him full pay for five
days served each week, nor can it keep
the treasury open on Sunday to permit
him to work on that day. 1t is not like
" that Austin will resign.
