WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Already q
considerable number of Office seekers
have arrived in Washington, and are
looking over the ground, using congress
sional influence and otherwise making
every effort to secure an advantage in
the coming scramble for the Offices
which will be at the disposal Of the
coming administration. Many Of them
were here eight years ago, but when
Cleveland assumes the direction of gov
ernmental affairs few weeks hence they
will realize that the classified civil serv-
ice, even during the present administra-
ton, absorbed many places thought to
be desirable.
The general land office will still have
9. few places at its disposal, among them
IL surveyors-geDeral, one each in Ari-
IONA, Alaska, California, Colorado, Flor
ida, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mon
tana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Da-
kota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming. The sala-
ries attached to these offices range from
$500 to $2700.
Iuere are aisO ll0 local lanu Offices
with q register and receiver at
each, with salaries ranging from
$3.50 to $4,000. Two of these
officials are Ill Alabama, i iii Alaska, III
Arizona 2, Arkansas 4, California
10, Colorado 13. Florida /, Idaho 5,
Iowa 1, Kaneas Z, Louisiana Michi-
gan 2, Minnesota 5, Mississippi l. Mis-
souri, 3, Montana 5, Nebraska IL, Neva-
da 2, New Mexico 4, North Dakota 5,
Oklahoma 4, Oregon and South Dakota
each 8, Utah l, Washington z. Wiscon
sin and Wyoming 6.
Then there are IL chiefs OF division in
the general land Office who receive a sal
ary of $2500 apiece; l chief clerk at
$1,000; 10 principal examiners ats7000 ;
law clerks at $225Q; 2 lawyAxaSAnsrs
at 5000; J. receivinf 1c;eDk y $i 5VU "a
confidential clerk to the Commissioner
who receives $1,000, and a number of
messengers and laborers whose compen-
sation ranges from 5000 to $S40.
In the bureau of patents there are
only few important places outside of
the classified service, and this also is
the case in the Indian bureau.
The pension Office has less than 80
places above the lowest grade.
The richest field for the office-seeker
will be the postoffice department which
has the appointing of about IS, 900 post
masters.

A CLASH OF INTERESTS.
CONGRESS WILL BE LIVELY FOB
THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
AS the End OF the Session Approaches
There VIII Be a Sharp Struggle
for the Passage of I'm
portant Bills.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 5.-Tomorrow will
mark the beginning OF the last four
weeks Of the fifty-second congress and
the clash of interests demanding atten-
ton which must inevitably arise from
announcements already made promises
an exceedingly lively legislative week.
The subjects include such important
measures as the bill for the repeal Of
the silver purchase act; for the estab-
lishment of national quarantine; the
anti-option bill and for the establish
ment of a general banking law.
The probabilities favor the conclu-
sion that the legislation upon matters Of
general public moment accomplished by
the senate will be almost sentirely con-
fined to such bills as the appropriation
90 onssnitese n1ag css4 ---s.. r sass- ~
The programme of the house for the
week is fairly we'll outlined, except as
respects the anti-option bill. Hatch, for
reasons of his own, declines to say what
move he intends to make with regard to
it. Hatch has asked for recognition in
order to call up the Paddock pure food
bill Monday, and the speaker will give
him the opportunity desired. Other
measures most likely to be considered
under suspension of the rules are the
bills for the admission of Utah.. the
Torrey bankruptcy bill and the New
York bridge bill.
Wednesday is the day named in the
constitution for the counting of the
electoral vote, and Thursday and Friday
will be devoted to the discussion of the
cloture and silver question. 1t cannot
be told at this time whether or not the
efforts to force the silver question to a
vote will be successful. Appropriation
bills will monopoize most of the time
of the house not occupied by silver, the
electoral count and suspension of the
rules.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 5.--A Bee special
from Pine Ridge Agency, S. D., says !:
A telegram has been received by Caps
tain Brown, United States Indian agent
here, from the foreman of the govern
ment beef contractors that he was at the
beef camp during the killing, but made
his escape. He stated positively that
four cowboys were killed. No reason is
given for the killing. Everything points
to willful and cruel murder. A detach-
ment was sent from here to bring the
bodies of the white men to the agency,
but the friends of the murdered men re-
fused to let the police have the remains,
claiming they would attend to the burial
themselves. 1t has since been learned
that the four bodies were sent to
e eHermosa, s. D., yesterday.
Confirmation has been received since
the engagement between the Indian po-'
lice and Two Sticks band yesterday that
it was owing to the firm and heroic
stand Young g-Man-Afraid-of His Horses
took that prevented another outbreak.
A courier Just in from the camp re-
ports that Two Sticks and his sons re-
turned two or three hours after the
killing OF the cowboys and took all the
bed clothing in camp and stole what
food was in sight.
1t is difficult matter to obtain reli-
able particulars. Last night it was ru-
mored that Two Sticks friends were
moving toward the agency and going to
fire the government buildings, but this
cannot be confirmed. A blizzard is now
raging, which 10 usually more cooling to

Medical Students Garry Human Head
to Bawdy House.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Feb. 5 Early this
morning Emmett and Eugene Robinson
were passing disreputable resort on
Main street when they discovered a
human head stuck on an iron picket in
front of the place. The head was
freshly cut off, and it was at first sup
posed that murder had been commit
ted. The head was identified as that OF
John Hanna, a we'll known German.
He died of paralysis at the Northwestern
hospital college during Saturday night.
A party of medical students broke into
the hospital, cut of the head and car
ried it to bawdy house and afterwards
placed it on the fence. The college is
holding an investigation and the au-
thorities are also searching for the per-
petrators of the outrage.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The criticism
upon the appointment by President
Harrison of Judge Jackson to succeed
the late Associate Justice Lamar on the
supreme bench, made by ]. S. Clarkson
and published this morning, was the
subject Of considerable discussion
among politicians today. The fact that
Clarkson has requested Senator Cullom
to protest against the confirmation
adds interest to the affair. SEN
by reporter, and asked what action, if
any, he had determined to take. He
said he had been busy with other
matters; he was unable to consider the
subject and had nothing to say as to his
intentions with regard to his course
concerning the nomination.
1t is not considered probable by
many senators that Judge Jacksons
nomination will be rejected notwith-
standing there has arisen considerable
opposition to him among the Demo-
cratic members OF the body. They say
Judge jackson is not satisfactory to
them as a party man, and Senator
Harris is quoted as having referred to
him as no more of Democrat than the
''men on the other side of the chamber"
One of the presidents friends said
this afternoon that Clarkson's state
ment that no other president had ever
before appointed member of the eu-
preme bench from the ranks of another
political party is not well-founded in
fact. He said the president had pre-
cedent in first the Republican president
for the nomination OF jackson; that in
1868 President Lincoln nominated
Stephen j. Field, Democrat, to place
on the bench, which Field still retains,
II Judge Jackson is now rejected BY the
senate, he said, Cleveland would almost
be compelled to send his name in to the
senate again, thus preventing the possi-
bility OF the nomination of man who
might be possessed of the undesirable
qualities mentioned by Clarkson in his
letter criticising the presidents action
In connection with the matter, Sem
ator Dolph desires to have it stated that
the report that he was an applicant for
the place on the supreme bench made
vacant by the death of Justice Lamar is
falsc. On the contrary, he volunteered
to say to the president that in his opin-
ion the appointee should be taken from
Justice Lamar's circuit.
New York, Feb. 5.-Gen. John S,
Clarkson said today: 81 have only

SEATTLE, WASH, Feb. 5.-Harry S.

self twice in the right temple in his

but the man fingered nine hours in a

This morning when he got up he pulled

woodshed, where he fired bullet into
his right temple. His father and sister
came running to the scene, but he
waved them back, and placing the muz
zle OF the gun within an inch OF the
other wound, pulled the trigger and fell
to the floor before his fathers and sis

men in the south, The Democrats have
already captured the next president and
congress. 1 cannot see any good
reason for President Harrison to
make it unanimous and give
them the supreme court too.
The terms of Justices Field and Blatch-
ford will soon expire and then Cleve-
land can make the courts tie politically.
Perhaps before his term ends it can be
made to have Democratic majority. 1
do not think the president ever acts on
hidden motive. He is always out

motive for choosing Jackson. For my
own part 1 have no doubt the senate
