SENATOR HILL
Begins His Fight Against the Administra'
tion n d the Challenge Is Accepted,

Begins Ills Fiknt Asaihst tne AuHihistrh-
tion, "A d the Challenge Is Accepted.
New YORK, April IA Washington
special to the World says: Senator Hill
has begun his fight for the control Of
the federal patronage in New York
state. He has pursuaded the post office
committee of the senate to demand
from the postmaster general written
copies of the papers containing the rec.
concentrations of the applicants for
presidential postmasters recently ap.
pointed in New York. The purpose of
Senator Hill is evident and the admin
istraton accepts it as challenge.
The post offices concerned are those
of Malone, Plattsburg, Watertown and
Suspension Bridge, and the names OF
the men presented to be postmasters
are Fay. Crowley, Clare and Horn. The
case of Horn is peculiar one He was
endorsed by the best men of the town.
The county machine asked the privi.
lege OF indorsing him simply for the
sake of being able to say that the ma
chine procured this appointments Horn
refused to either ask for or accept the
machines Endorsement In one instance
perhaps in others-the application ot
the appoiDbee was indorsed by the coun'
ty committee.
The president is not likely to change
his view of the practice to be followed
in naming postmasters simply because
Senator Hill is willing to retain the
republicans in Office unless the presi
dent recognizes him as assistant presi
dent from New York. 1t is not th'
custom of the post office department t.
permit the senate to see papers OF thi
kind. However Mr. Bissell will, as ;
matter Of courtesy, yield to the demant
and send the papers to the senate.
The correspondent says the threat
ened war has begun in earnest.

INDiANAPoLls, Ind, April 49, An un.
usual case Of organic poisoning has de.
veloped in a family named Good win, on
Parke avenue. First babe a few
months old was taken sick, then the
mother succumbed and then an elder
daughter, and finally sister, who
came from Lewisville, this state,
to nurse the sick Eventually the
husband was taken sick, and the
neighbors who volunteered assistance
were prostrated one by one. Mrs j.
A. Coleman, one of the ladies vino vol.
unteered assistance, was seized with
every symptom of Asiatic cholera, and
she had close call from death. This
general spread of the disease led to
most searching sanitary inquiry, and 1t
is now believed that the trouble was
caused by decaying animal matter,
probably deposited in an old cellar over
which the Goodwin house is built. The
