WASHINGTON. D. c. Dec. i

WASHlNGION, u =, Dec. 10.
Congressman Taylor called at the
white house this morning and had an
extended interview with President Cleve-
land upon the matter of appointing
steamboat inspector for the Sixth dis
trict which includes Evansville. 1t has
| been reported that Secretary Carlisle was
in favor of the appointment of a man
named Hayes of Louisville. but the re-
suit Of Mr.. TayIor's interview warrants
belief that a resident of Indiana will
get the place Mr.. Taylor and the entire
Indiana delegation, without exception,
have been working for the appointment
of Capt. John Zinzich of Evansville.
! Capt. Zinzich is at present ship chandler
and he has been in the river service for
fifty years. Not only is he strongly
backed in Indiana, but delegations from
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Illi-
nois are supporting him.
There was vacancy in the Office the
4th Of August. reckoning from the time
of appointment, but since the date of
confirmation was Jan. 4, change will
not take place until that time. President
Cleveland will let the matter rest for
short time. but Zinzich's friends feel
very much encouraged and believe that
he will be the lucky man.
Congressman Taylor will introduce a
bill tomorrow to establish a signal sta
ton of the weather bureau at Evans
vile for the benefit of the surrounding
country of Illinois, Kentucky and IN
diana. He does not know what this will
cost, but the farmers will be particu-
larry benefited. This member is also
forming a bill TO light the bridge run
ming from Henderson across the Ohio
river to Evansville. He appeared before
the committee on rivers and harbors,
asking for an appropriation to improve
the Ohio river and prevent a cutoff at
Evansville. If the appropriation is not
allowed in the general bill Mr.. Taylor
Will look out for il in special measure.
Congressman McNagny introduced two
bills. One grants Squire Bower Of Steu-
ben county a pension of $50 per month
and the other clears the record and re-
moves charges Of desertion in the case
Of George Alcott.
The following fourth-class postmasters
have been appointed for Indiana: Weed
ersburg, Fountain county, J. b. Dungle,
vice j. w. Crouk. removed: Williams
port Warren county. Frederick Holtz,
vice j. II. stephenson, removed.

BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. Is.
The committee on invalid pensions,
through its chairman. Mr.. Martin of IN
diana, this morning made favorable re-
port upon the bill OF Congressman
Brookshire. The measure was one
granting a pension TO Joel Watson, or
rather it enabled him to receive benefits
under the law of 1880 that would not
otherwise apply to his case. Watson is
an imbecile and unable to support him
self. while there is no other person to
take care OF him. The bill will hardly
receive opposition.
Congressman Taylor called at the
white house again this morning in the
interest of Capt Sinzich Of Evansville
who wants TO secure the appointment
as supervising inspector of steam yes
sells President Cleveland informed the
congressman that he desired TO give the
matter his personal attention and that
Notwithstanding the resignation Of the
present incumbent has been called for
a change is not likely 10 occur for some
little time Il is we'll known that Sec
rotary Carlisle leans a little toward
Hayes OF Kentucky, who is also an ap-
plicant for the place. This fact leads
the Kentucky members to believe that
their man viii succeed to the place that
has been so long filled by an Indiana
resident. They say Secretary Carlisle
viii endeavor 10 settle the matter very
soon. This only invigorates the Indiana
members to make a harder fight for
their man.

revenue department has made the fol-
lowing appointments upon the recon-
mendatiOn OF the collector for the Sixth

Senator Voorhees, makes the state
ment that his silver bill introduced yes

other sections that may not be so well
received.

organizations. 1t was then announced that
the afternoon session would be devoted 10
the election of officers. A strong fight was
expected, as John Mcbride OF the Ohio
miners union was candidate for Presi-
dent Gompers's place and John G. Lincoln
Of Chicago was prominently mentioned as
a successor to Secretary Chris Evans
President Gompers in an interview said
that there was nothing in the claim made
by some of the delegates that the invita-
tion TO Governor Altgeld was a conces-
sion to the anarchiStic element OF the fed
Grafton and was made because the gov
ernor had pardoned the anarchists Dele
gate Tommy Morgan of Chicago was of
different opinion. He said:
Governor Altgeld's case was made an
exception. It is true that the reason that
the anarchists"
sent word that he would be unable to adj
dress the meeting. The election of officers
will be held tomorrow morning.
CHICAGO, Dec. 16-Samuel Gompers
was tonight reelected president of the
American federation of labor for the
twelfth consecutive time. TIE move
ment on the part Of the western dele
gates to bring the presidency of the fed
Grafton from the East, where II has re-
manned for a number Of years, to the
West, failed when the matter was sub
mitted to vote. John Mcbride of the
united mine workers union, from the
state Of Ohio, was the candidate Sc
lected TO take up the fight against
President Gompers When announced,
the result was: Gompers, 1 ,314; Mcbride,
1,222; Gompers's majority, 80.
During the afternoon President Comp
ers was given an opportunity TO de-
fend himself and the officers of the ex-
ecutive council against charges brought
concerning the receipts Of publication
issued in the interest of the order.
The outcome was a resolution complete
ly generating President Gompers and
his co-workers on the committee.
The other officers were all reelected
as follows:
First vice-president, p ]. Mcclure.
Philadelphia: second vice-president, G.
L. Drummond, Ft. Wayne; third vice

COAL MINERS WAGES.
Secretary McBride's Efforts for the
Pittsburg District.

Pittsburg District.
PITTSBURG, Dec 13.-The railroad coal
operators are making no further effort to-
ward fixing a uniform rate of wages 10 be
paid throughout the Pittsburg district
Since there is 50 much conflict of opinion
1t is scarcely probable that a uniform rate
will be fixed by the operators, but the
present wages will be continued. They
vary from 50 to 20 cents per ton, the latter
price being the scale rate.
Though President Frye of the Pittsburg
district announces that he will counsel
against a strike under present circum-
stances, the indications are that all the
men cannot be made TO listen 10 counsel.
and that some will, therefore. lay down
their picks.

RECEPTION TO SOVEREIGN.
The Master Workman Talks of Dudes
and DudeIets.

BOSTON. Dec ia reception was
rendered General Master Workman
James Sovereign and Thomas B. Ma
guire Of New York, c. f. French Of
Marlborough and Henry E. Martin Of
Minnesota, the newly elected members
of the general executive board of the
Knights of Labor, in Faneuil hall to-
night by the members of that order in
this city. The attendance was very
small, not over 300 people being present
General Master Workman Sovereign was
the first speaker. He said in substance
that it was a pleasure to him to be privi-
legged to speak in the hall made me-
mOriable by the long line Of Americans
who had fought for the freedom of chat
tel slaves. but while we are all proud
and jubilant over the victory that re-
suited from the movement these men
were engaged in, yet we should not for
get that there is at present as great a
need for the freeing of the white wage
slave as ever there was for the cOlored
men.
There is a wheel loose somewhere in
our social machinery and the rich are
growing richer and the poor poorer and
there is rank discrimination in the law
against the poor IN favor Of the rich.
During the past twenty-five years we
have raised two distinct classes of socie-
~, the tramp and vagrant. The tramp
is a cross between crime and poverty,
and the dude is a cross between no one
and nothing
In order to obtain amelioration from
these dreadful conditions under which
the working people are living they must
organize and educate themselves as to
their rights, and this can be done
through the Knights Of Labor
Henry 3. Martin of Minneapolis spoke
next and earnestly advised organiza-
ton and membership in the Knights of
Labor.
Thomas r. Mcguire OF New York
spoke on the land question and humor-
ously discussed the silver and tariff
questions.

1t cannot be learned that any lives were

1t is true enough that one half of the
world doesn't know how the other half
lives, and it is likely that some residents
of the Brooklyn heights are unaware of
the cave dwellers who eat and sleep with

was left, and instead of making an easy
slope from the crest of the heights to
the waters edge the gravel was kept in
place by heavy retaining wall. This
wall has been pierced in several places,
however, so that it has become the front
of a row of underground houses, veri-
table caves that extend back for about
80 feet into the hill, the lawns and gar
dens of the rich people overhead consti-
tuting their roofs. In these caves there
are saloons, shops, storerooms and tene-
ments. They are dark and rather damp,
as they have no light or air except on
the street side.-New York Sun
