Ex-Premier Mercier Favors the
independence of the Dominion.
MONTREAL, April 4. - Ex-Premier
MERCER, of Quebec, spake here tonight
on the future of Canada. Mercier was
prime minister Of this province from
1856 to 1891, when his government was
dismissed by Lieut.. Gov. Anglers for
gross corruption connection with the
Base Des Chalairs railway deal. The
lieutenant governors action created
quite sensation at the time, and Mer
cier posed as martyr and appealed to
the province to vindicate him. The peO-
pie, however, by all overwhelming ma
iority ratified The lieutenant governors
action and Mercier and his party were
almost wiped out of existence. Since
then Mercier has been a dead man DO
litically. HE'S now seeking to rehabili
tate himself by eSpouSing the cause of
Canadian independence, and tonight
made the opening speech of his cam
paign. The speech was delivered at
Sohmer park. Owing to his recent po-
itical misfortunes, Mercier's health has
suffered considerably and his speech,
which he has been carefully preparing
for months, lacked the fire and vigor of
former days. 1t was. however, careful
study of the great question that Is now
sagitating the Canadian public.

New YORK, April A Washington
correspondent. telegraphing his paper,
SAYS: Some officeSeekers are more in
genious than others, while some injure
their prospects by indiscretion. To-day
letter was received at the White house
from an applicant for a small postoffiee.
The writer of the letter evidently want
ed an appointment badly. He was
modest, but evidently unsophiStlcated
place-hunter, for in addition TO Offering
a profuse apology for bOtherng the
president with such triiling matter he
enclosed $40 note. In explanation he
said that he knew that the presidents
time was occupied With other more i'm
portant matters. and If he stopped to
consider the subject in question he
would probably deprive the country of
his services during the period so occu-
pied. The SO. it was explained, was TO
defray the expense for any time lost III
the transaction. Private Secretary
Thurber, to whom the letter was re-
ferred, was at first disposed to be indlg-
nant that bribe should be offered the
president of the United States. He
finally cOncluded'that the applicant was
perfectly sincere, but inexperienced.
He therefore returned the application
and the money 10 the sender, with a
little advice as to the proper method OF
applying for office under the present
administration.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The selection
of Judge Bartlett Trip, of South Da-
kota. for theSsAustrian mission was a
decided surprise to everybody save Sen
ator Kyle. the Judge and the president.
No one had any idea that Judge Trip
desired to go abroad, and when the
president sent for him it was supposed
it was for the purpose of Offering him a
place OH the new district court of APP
peals. This action of the president
makes the chances of Judge Thomas, of
Deadwood, look very slim, although the
latter and his friends are still hopeful.
1t also shows that the president occa-
slonally remembers his friends. Judge
Trip is an EEK" and hardly expected
to be made an exception to the rule.
Outside of Judge Bartlett Trip him
self, Senator Kyle was the happiest man
in Washington today over the nomina-
ton of the former for the Austro-HIn

Which He Fills.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 4.-Although a
full week has passed since the eXpira-
ton of the term of Col. G. q. Edwards
as collector of customs at the port Of st.
Paul, there Is no immediate prospect Of
anybody being named to fill the Office.
There is no dearth of candidates, but
this is not the trouble. This appoint
ment passes through the treasury de-
partment. and Secretary Carlisle is the
hardest to.get at these days. When this
matter was brought up the other
day. he positively declined TO con-
slider any of the applicants, and
gave his visitors to understand that
there was no Immediate hurry about
the office. The present collector resided
originally in Fillmore county. which
fact doubtless led chairman Ii. I. Toll
mic. of the same county, to enter the
lists this time. From the Third district
come two candidates. Henry Nicolin, OF
Scott county, and James Geraghty, of
Dakota The Seventh district has one,
ex-senator, d. w. HiXson, of Grant, and
there are any number of dark horses in
St. Paul ready to start for winning
race at a moments notice. The office
pays $4,000 per year and is well worth
having. In case Secretary Carlisle can
be induced to get down 10 such minor
matters, the appointment may be made
this week, and the probability is That
Mr.. Geraghty will land the prize.

WASHINGTON. April 4. Secretary
Hoke Smith has already begun to carry
into effect his policy of dispensing with
the services Of all incompetent clerks
in his department or those appointed
purely for political reasons. Under the
direction OF Chief Clerk WardIe, the in
dividua records of the clerical force OF
the census Office are being thoroughly
examined, and all clerks who are found
10 be deficient in any essential partlcu-
lar viii be dismissed. Jwehty-nine
clerks we're dropped from the rolls
today and others are likely to follow.
1t is Secretary Smiths belief that the
work OF the census should be completed
Dy the end of the calendar year, without
asking additional appropriation IRON
congress. but to do this he Is convinced
that there must be not only economy IN
expenditures. but that each employe
must do good and efficient WORK;
Hence his determination TO remove all
clerks who do not come up t0 the re-
quired standard. 1t is understood, also;
that the clerical force OF the general
land Office will soon undergo process

RICHARDSON IN JAIL.
He Is Charged With Attempting
to Wreck q Train.

PORTLAND, Or. April 4.-George E.
Richardson, who dramatically tagged
the Southern Pacific passenger train
near Drain last Friday morning, and
informed the conductor that the track
had been torn up, was arrested and
placed in Jail last night on warrant
charging him with having attempted to
wreck the passenger train. Richard
son was cut in the breast and face, and
was badly bruised when picked up by
the train. He told thrilling story OF
an encounter with train robbers, who
he SAID nearly killed him. The sup
position is he inflicted the injuries
himself. In October, 1892, Richardson
tagged a Union Pacific train between
Baker CITY and Pendleton when it was
about to run into boulder on the track.
He received a reward from the passen-
gers. The company suspected That he
rolled the boulder onto the track, but
it had no conclusive evidence. Be
fore Richardson was taken from the
hospital last night, Supt. Fields, of the
Southern Pacific, and the superintend-
ent of detective agency, had an inter
view with him. They endeavored to
secure a confession from him, and were
partly successful. He admitted that he
rolled the boulder on the Union Pacific
track, but answered evaslvely when
asked if he removed the rail from the
Southern Pacific track.

SAN FRANCISCO, April "A boat con-
tanning the first mate. thirteen men and
three apprentices of the fOur-masted
steel ship King James, coal laden, for
New Castle, England, from San Fran
cisco, has landed at Point Conception,
on the southern coast of California.
The coal caught fire on March 9, and on
the 30th an explosion occurred, which
ripped the deck in all directions and the
ship was soon ablaZe. At midnight the
crew abandoned their efforts to control
the flames, and after securing the best
OF their effects took TO boats. Capt. W..
Drummond, his son and fifteen men oc-
cupied one boat while the first mate
and the remainder of the crew took the
second boat. On April a gale came up,
and after it had spent itself the cap
tain's boat was not in sight. The first
mate, William MuldoOn, says that Capt.
Drummond was a very cautious man,
and would not carry sail to any great
extent, and he may therefore be heard
from at any hour.
