MR.. LANGSTON'S TREAT
ME- Mt.
WHAT ASSISTANT SECRETARY
NETTLETON HAS TO SAY ON THE
SUBJECT.
Thursdays Star.l

The statement was printed in a
morning paper TO day that ex-Con-
gresham Langston of Virginia,
claimed to have been badly treated
by the Treasury Department III the
matter of federal patronage on ac-
count of Mr.. LaDgston's course in
the recent Virginia convention
which failed to instruct for Mr..
Harrison at the Minneapolis con-
ventiOn.
On having bis attention cilled to
the published interview with Mr..
LangstOn, Assistant Secretary
NettletOn of the Treasury Depart
ment said: "Aside from the fact
that Mr.. LangstOn called upon me
yesterday with respect to certain
appointments desired by him, and
that 10 the course of conversation
the late Virginia convention was
mentioned, the language attributed
to Mr.. Langston in the interview is
wholly misleading, and so far as
Ieonc4Ens The Of & ttlffrii~Gssle1 Rs
partment or Of myself is wholly
without foundation. Mr.. Langston
has, for considerable time, urged
the appointment of his son and of
other persons, both white and col
Ored, to employment IN the Treas
ury Department On the strength
of an acquaintance of a quarter of
a century, and quite independent
of political considerations, l have
endeavored to meet his views in
one or two instances. No promise
has been given of an appointment
to be made at any definite time,
and so far as promise of any ma
ture has been made by the depart
ment, it will be fulfilled TO the let
ter as soon as the opportunity
offers. 1t seems to me incredible
that Professor Langston should
represent or intimate that | had
refused him an appointment, pre-
viously promised or otherwise, be-
cause of anything be may have
done or left undOne in the Virginia
convention. Such a course on my
part would be simply idiOtic from
a political point of view as well as
wrong in itself, and in any case it
would be wholly outside my pro.

OVERHAUL OVERLAND.
REPUBLICANS SPOTTED By A DEM
ocRAT UNDER THE LAST ADMINS
IsTRATToN. VERY DIsTAsTEFUL
TO EMPLoYEs.

Overhaul Is the name of man
in the Government Printing office
in the Folding Room of that de-
partment and was a democrat un-
der the administration of Hon.
Thomas Z Benedict. When Mr..
Benedict succeeded Hon. Sterling
p. Rounds that man Overhaul
spotted every republican employee
and reported him to Mr.. Benedict
and as a matter of fact every per
son who Was tainted with the
scent of republicanism was dis
charged. This was not known to
Mr.. Palmer the present Public
Printer, nor is he aware that this
man Overhaul ls very distasteful
to every employee in the Folding
Room of the Government Print
ing Office. He is a terror TO the
lady employees on the NJ. gath
sring table over which he is boss,
except the few pets whom he tre-
quently favors. The Ohio repub-
licans are not aware that one Or
two representatives have indorsed
this man and have requested the
Public Printer to retain him.
1t is only necessary for Public
printar Palmer to send TO the
Folding Room for this mans re-
cord AID the opinion of few EN-
ployes in that apartment. 1t Is a
notorious fact that no republican
was retained under Mr.. Benedict
after be was reported by this
man Overhaul. Is it right and
Just that such a man should be
allowed to play hot and cola and
act as q spOtler to a democratic
head of department to the detri-
ment of worthy and deserving
republicans? Overhall's last re.
marks to a gentleman, few days
ago. when wls told that kcswas
ss..z1 and what he would do if the
democrats v ere to come in power.
D! said this democratic spotter,
II can play the democratic rack
ct"
The BEE was informed by a
prominent republican a few days
ago that Overhaul is the most dis
plsed man in the Folding Room.
The question is asked time aud
again why is he retained?
The BEE takes the opportunity
to inform Public Printer Palmer
that Overhaul is a democratic
spotter aud ought to be removed.
In the meantime the BEE will
present bis case 10 the Ohio repub
lican association.
Overhaul is the same individual
who had all the colored femalts
removed from the gathering table
under Mr.. Benedict aud when it
was done he said,"the idea of ne
groes working with white ladies "
Mr.. Poenicks the Chief of the
Folding Room soon taught Over
hall a lesson when he was re-
turned to power under the repub,
lican regime. Colored ladies are
treated like ladies and given the
same consideration as the white.
The white ladies on the gathering
tables do not object to working
along side of the colored ones; it
is this Judas Iscariot who makes
the objection simply because be
has it in his power. The BEE de-
sires to call the attention of Mr..
Palmer to the mean manner in
which this democratic iuformer,
treats tile colored females over
whom he bosses.
1t is left to the Public Printer
to remedy these evils and the BEE
knows that neither Mr.. Palmer
nor the Chief, Mr.. Poenicks, will

SPOKANE, Wash. Feb. 20.-President
east this evening after making one of
the most successful tours of the North
west since the palmiest days of Willard.
He came first to Spokane, met 2, 900 citi
zens in the opera house, explained the
difficulties his line must encounter to
get into the city, and what he proposed
to do if he should come, and then mod
eStly asked for right of way through
the city. The mass meeting promptly
voted it to him.
Then Mr.. Hill referred them to his
engineers for details. 1t was then
learned that the contemplated rIght-of-
way drove right through the heart of
the city, and. avoiding the use of streets,
called for about four miles Of private
property worth about million dollars.
The right-of-way committee had week
to do the work, and after putting in
eighteen hours day. and bringing
every conceivable pressure to bear upon
the citizens. they completed the work,
and when Mr.. Hill departed tonight he
had guarantee closely buttoned
in an inside pocket of his Prince Albert.
AT Seattle he was not a whit less mod
est, asking for enough ground along
the harbor rim to lay eight tracks, the
right to construct an elevated railway
and perpetual franchise.
While here Mr.. Hill expressed himself
very clear about the policies of Western
roads. He spoke of the difficulties Chi
cago people are now encountering by
reason of railroads crossing their streets
at grade and required here right of way
over private property and providing for
a subway and elevated roads across
leading streets. He expressed his be-
lief that the present policy of the trans
continental lines, of hauling freight
through to terminals at low rates, and
then back to interior, while high rates
are charged cities like Spokane. to be
illegal, and that it would not stand in
courts of the United States.
Monday word will be given which will
put an army of 10000 men to work on
the line between the summit of the
Rocky mountains and the Columbia
river, 200 miles west of Spokane
Tracks will be laid to Spokane by the
1st Of May, in time to enable the Wash
ingtOn delegation to the national con-
ventions to go East over the new road
and to the Columbia river by the 1st of
August. Lines will cross the Colum bia
near the mouth of the Wenatchee river
and ascend the Cascade mountains by
way of Wenatchie pass. At Summit it
will have tunnel 1900 feet long.
Spokane will be division terminal and

to Its Fate.
PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 20. = Sheriff
Mackay, of Boston county, made a de-
mand today on Col. T. Egenton Hogg,
receiver of the Oregon Pacific railroad,
for balance of 100000, to be
paid by him and Zephin Job as
the purchase price of the road, but the
money was not forthcoming. Col. Hogg
pleaded for three days grace, which
was allowed. He has been in seclusion
at Corvallis for several days, but ap-
peared on the streets this afternoons
The sale Will not be confirmed until the
money is paid. Further DEVELOPMENTS
are expected Tuesday.
People along the line of the construct
ed and proposed road through Oregon
are deeply interested in the outcome of
the strife among Eastern bondholders
The injunction suit begun in the United
States circuit court few days ag0is at
Standstill, owing to the inability of
deputy marshals to serve papers on Re-
ceiver Hogg.
The Oregonian says: SIT is given out
that the new management has ordered
work to begin on the Eastern extern
sion. The prospect of this road being
completed to eastern connections is one
more alarming, if possible, than those
which threaten existing lines from new
projections nOrthward. Excepting the
crossing of the Cascades, the Oregon

Importance that the leaders of the Pro-
hibition party express at once firmly
and clearly their antogonism to this
scheme and prevent the success of any
efforts that may be made to create di-
vision in our ranks by means of it.
This naturalization scheme is prac-
tically government control of the liquor
traffic, and is backed by the liberal eIe-
ment of the industrials, who believe
they are strong enough to prevent any
adoption of prohibition theories.

able comment has been aroused by the
statement of a prominent Mexican

would include the large towns OF Tue

use of Mileage.
CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-Chairman Finley,
of the Western Passenger association,
gave out two more decisions today.
The first Of these is in the case of
complaint made in December against
the Chicago, Minneapolis & Omaha
road for the misuse of mileage tickets
from st. Paul to Chicago. The charge
was that an agent of the ASSOCIATION
purchased of a st. Paul broker a 1000
mile ticket, issued by the Chiccgo &
Northwestern company in Chicago.
in the name of l.. E. Milford
and that it was honored by
the conductor for transportation from
st. Paul to Chicago upon the agents
signing LEO milford" The chairman
decides that the defendant company has
violated the agreement. and imposes a
fine of sl1.50, the price of regular first
class ticket from st. Paul to Chicago
The other decision relates to a COM
plant made by the Burlington road
against the Rock Island, in which the
latter is accused of doing a brokerage
business, and also of cutting the rate
from Omaha to Chicago. After review
ing the evidence on both sides the chair
man concludes that the allegations on
which the charges are based nave not
been proven, and therefore dismisses
the case. :.

Electoral Vote

Electoral Vote.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20.-At today's ses-
sion of the National Press Reform as
ISOLATION the National Union company's
method of doing business was dis
cussed. There appeared to be belief
that the National Cordage company
was backing the enterprise. and the
matter was referredto committee for
investigation. Speeches were delivered
by l.. L. Polk, president of the Farm
ers' Alliance of North Carolina; Gen.
A. B. Weaver, of Iowa: A. j. Streater,
of Illinois, and Ignatius DonneIly. of
Minnesota. Mr.. Donnelly predicted
that the electoral vote of Minnesota
would be given to the candidate of the
third party.
At the afternoon session the investi-
eating committee reported that repre-
sentative of the National Union COM
pany had asked to be heard, and the
association granted further time in
which to hear the other side of the
affair. The committee on resolutions,
it is learned, has submitted two reports
to the Press association.'The afternoon
and evening were devoted to discussion
of the reports, but at the end of the
days labor the settlement of the matter
seemed as far off as ever. ALI proceed
ings were in secret, and it has been I'M

George Sargent. of the Pioneer Press,
Is becoming an adept at four pins. In
his recent plays he makes an average of
seven in each inning, which is a re-
markably good game for a bowler who
has but recently taken up the play.
-Four pins" differs materially from the
old and familiar game of -four back"
The pins are numbered from one to
four, ana must be knocked down one at
time. Each pin counts on the score
the same as its number indicates, hence
nine is possible. Three balls only are
rolled, and these three balls must make
one pin at time to reach this number.
Whereas in four back strike and spare
allowances are provided. For illustra-
ton, strike gives two spare balls on
the succeeding frame and 4 spare one,
the same as is played III cooked hat and
American ten pins.

a good ball, but he had wretched luck
last evening, and his score did not do
him justice.
IL
Wegman. of the Kegels, is playing
like tiend. His mean average in the
GLOBE series is mighty close to 200
pins. and no one rivals him in this par
tlcular. BY the way, it is noticeable
that there is wide difference in prac-
tice games and in play for cham
pIonShlp. As rule, some of the very
best and most reliable bowlers have
thus far made the lightest individual
scores. This. however, has no connec-
ton with Wegman. He is equally
strong in practice or championship
game.
George Benz Jr. and Sam Trubshaw.
of the HumorS, are herculean bOwlers.
They always choose a ponderous nine
inch ball, and they send it with the
pins fly in the air as though they were
of feathers weight. They will render
good account of themselves individually

with the necessity for loading or un4
loading. The boat is to have a capacity
of twenty-four loaded freight cars. is to
run winter as we'll as summer, and is to

MORRIS SAYS NAY.
The Whisky Trust Not Backing
Breweries.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL. Feb. 90
Nelson Z. Morris, the millionaire pork
packer, of Chicago, and director of the
whisky trust, who is here with his FAM
lily for his health. was seen this after
noon regarding report that the Whisky
trust is backing syndicate which will
try to secure control of the Chicago
breweries. Mr.. Morris said: The
whisky trust is not backing any one to
buy breweries in Chicago. The officers
OF the trust have all the work and
business they can manage to
run-the distiIiery interests legit-
imately, and won't have any
new enterprises. The party who makes
such assertions l presume to be the
same that built the Konset distilery.
and sold out to the trust, as they are the
only persons who have entered into any
new brewery scheme lately. that bust
ness not being very encouraging except
to sell out to syndicates."
