GREAT POLITICS IN 1T.

The Struggle for Internal Revenue COL
lector Of the Fifth kentucky District.
The Kentucky folks are having a hot time
over their local patronage. The internal reve-
nue. collectorships are the important appoint
ments in that state, and on them turns
the local politics to considerable
extent. The choice Of the next Senator from
Kentucky may depend largely upon these
appointments, not to mention future nominal
tons to the House. Up to this time there has
been but one collector appointed. that in Mr..
McCrearys district, and McCreary's man got
the place.
The other places are yet to be filled. This
importance arises from the fact that under
each collector there lisa very large amount of
patronage. Some Of the collectors have more
than 200 employees. and the appointments being
made right at home, they figure
The post offices and the outside patron
age are nothing alongside Of this. There is
q fight in each collection district,
but the hardest il in the fifth.

place. claiming that the appointment should go
to Louisville, and the Courier-Journal

Montgomery has man for the

Of politics in the fight and the result is awaited

but 1t is thought that Montgomery and the
Senators will win, as they represent the greater

No Further Changes to Be Made just at
The clean sweep Of the division chiefs in the
pension Office yesterday, as announced in The
STAR, formed lively topic for discussion in
that bureau today. 1t is understood, however,
that there will be no further changes just at
present.
The fact that the majority Of the appoint
ments were promotions from the ranks made
the change all the more gratifying to hard
working clerks who are laboring for Q record in
the office. They see in Secretary Hoke Smith Q
action encouragement for conscientious work
and some promise Of reward for labor we'll per-
formed.
Mr.. Charles A. McKevitte Of Syracuse, N. Y,
who was appointed chief dlerk, is said to be q
man Of considerable executive ability and one
who gives promise Of conspicuous activity in
the administration Of the duties Of his Office.
Mr.. John NJ. Lipsconlb, who for number
Of years has held an important position in the
Interior Departments disbursing Office, will
be appointed chief Of division in
the pension Office. Mr.. Chas. A. Mo
Kevitte, the new chief clerk Of the

served through the war, coming out as first
lieutenant. Four Of his brothers gave their

A. CASE OF FREEZE OUT.

All the Bids for Ice Rejected by the Gov
ernmenf.
Those dealers in ice in this CITY who think
they have a ''cinch' on Uncle Sam and who
think they can stick him with any price for ice
that they choose to put upon him will find
they have reckoned without their host
The governmental departments in this city
use about six million pounds OF ice annually,
and q few days ago bids we're opened for fur
nishing the several departments with ice for
the next fiscal year. When the proposals were
examined it was found that ice had taken a
sudden jump in price. The dealers had run up
the price to IS cents per hundred pounds, which
is 100 per cent more than Uncle Sam now paws
for his ice as he gets it for 10 cents per hundred
at present
Then your Uncle Sam grew wrathful swore
a few Yankee oaths and declared by the great
horn spoon that he wouldn't stand it; that the
ice dealers might rub it in on the defenseless
citizen who has to buy ice at any price or go
thirsty, but that they couldn't play any such
game on your Uncle Sam.
So all bids were rejected, and tomorrow a
new advertisement will be made for proposals
to be opened June Is, and the ice dealers will
be respectfully but firmly requested to come
off the perch and get down to a reasonable
basis Of price. Bids from dealers in other
cities will be invited, and the Washington deal.
ers will have to compete with them.

IRISH MEMBERS UNEASY:
They Think MT. Gladstone 10 Yielding To
Much.

I
Much.
LONDON, June 2-In the house of commons
today Mr.. G. w. Wolf. conservative NJ. P. for
East Belfast and a member of the firm of
Harland Wolff, ship builders. questioned the
government IN regard to the control Of the
Irish shipping under che home rule bill
Prime Minister Gladstone replied that all
matters connected with the Irish shippiug
would remain under the control of the board
Of trade.
In the debate today on an amendment Of
fered by Mr.. Z. W. Byrne. conservative, the
irish members showed for the first time that
they thought the government was conceding
too much without consulting them. Mr. Byrne' 9
amendment was intended to prevent the Irish
legislature from enacting laws in respect to the
use of arms by armed associations for drilling
purposes.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain said that to permit
such use would be tantamount to permitting
the formation of armed forces which might be
improperly used.
Chief Secretary Morley said that the govern
ment would accept an amendment debarring
the Irish legislature from permitting the use of
arms for military purposes.
Here Mr.. Thomas Sexton. nationalist, inter
posed. He spoke in opposition to the proposed
amendmet, and expressed the opinion that in
regard to such an amendment as also the
amendment OF the previous evening forbiddine
the organization Of a national constabularv
under Irish authority, representative Irish
opinion ought to be allowed to speak before the
government replied.
The amendment was rejected by Q vote of
283 to 245.

Supreme Court.
NEWPORT. r. L, June 2.-Both houses Of the
Legislature were in session this morning. The
senate sent down 70 the house their reasons for
not meeting them in grand committee and the
house returned them, refusing TO receive what
they styled an insult
The special committee from the house to
which WAS referred the concurrent resolution

reported back another concurrent resolution
which the house at once passed.
Ii asks the governor to require the supreme
court TO render a decision upon the question Of
the legality Of the house now constituted,
also upon the legislature of the senate.

THE SILVER MEN.
Those in the House will Vote to Repeal
the Sherman Bill.

the Sherman Bill.
Information coming from silver sources
makes it safe prediction that there will
be comparatively little trouble to pass
bill through the House to repeal the Sherman
silver law soon after Congress meets. How
the thing will stand in the Senate
is another story, but it will probably
be found that the finance committee, at the
head Of which is Senator Voorhees,, which has
been regarded as strongly favoring silver. will
have a majority for the repeal Of
the present law. 1t appears that q
number of members of the House who
voted against any action during the last Con-
gress have seen q light since and expect to vote
the other way when they get at work again.
The reason given by some of those who will
drop from the ranks of the radical silver men is
that in the light of the present financial situation
many of "their people," without Welding their
convictions on the silver question, are willing
that the Sherman law should be repealed at
once, leaving the question Of future COIN
age of silver open. How far this
is the result of the judicious distribution
or withholding Of patronage by Mr.. Cleveland
may be left for inference. But it is certain
that Mr.. Cleveland has not lost sight Of this is
sue in dealing with statesmen who have been
making pilgrimages to the White House.

THAT RHODE ISLAND BRIDGE.

Tho Government Cannot Compel the State to
Remove It.
The Attorney General has given the Secre-
tary Of War an opinion that the federal gov
ernment cannot compel q state to remove q
bridge, no matter how dangerous il may
be to navigation. The question arose
in the case Of an old stone
bridge across the Seaconnet river owned by the
state Of Rhode Island. The interests Of navi-
CATION require the removal Of the bridge. The
Secretary Of War asked the governor Of Rhode
Island to remove it and he declined to do so.
The governor also raised the point that the
Secretary had exceeded his legal authority in
suggesting such action on tho part Of the state.
The Attorney General has sustained the posi-
ton OF the governor.
The situation at present is that the state ID
willing that the government shall remove the
bridge at its own expense. but that the govern
ment Is unable to do this in the absence Of any
fund available for such purposes, all other re-
movals of obstructions having been made st the
expense Of the owners Of the bridge.

functions of the secretary, &c.

WHAT HAWAII WANTS.

Best.

Best.
BUFFALO, N. Y. June 2-Mr Luther Sever
ance, postmaster at Hilo. Hawaii. and for fifty
years a resident Of the islands, il visiting
friends in this city.
Speaking today Of the situation in Hawaii he
said:
The better class Of the foreign element wan.
annexation. Any government formed OF the
people of the islands could not last long. There
would be so many conflicting elements that an
archy would be the outcome
The present provisional government, which
is practically military government could
not have lasted as long as IT has
had 1t not been for the prospect of
annexation. II the United States refuse to
take us England will surely step in
and establish a British protectorate by placing
Princess Kaiaulani on the throne. With the
assurance of o government such as would
result from annexation capital would
find great field for investment
oy Developing our sugar and
coffee lands. There are thousands OF acres of
the best coffee lands in the world that can be
bought for $40 per acre. In three years the
coffee plant can be got into bearing. II yields
a handsome profit and Offers an ideal life to the
planter.
Il am vice president Of the annexation club
OF Hilo, and speaking for our organizations
throughout the islands 1 should say that the
PcoPAc cate very uttie Wuet tne form OF govern
ment is so long as We are assured Of the United
States protection. Perhaps . territorial gov
ernment would be the best
Speaking Of the course pursued by Com
missioner Blount Mr.. Severance said: al
am inclined to be pleased with it He il .
conservative man, says nothing Of his
views. but listens to al that ID told him
about the condision of affairs. He cannot
fail to see that annexation is the only dhing for
the islands, and feel sure he must be con.
vinced that they will be Q great boon to the
United States. I am confident his report win
be in favor Of taking rs under the wing Of the

AKnotty Question Before the First Controller
First Controller Bowler of the Treasury De-
partment has knotty legal question under
consideration. When the last Congress ex-
pired the clerk to the rivers and harbor COM
mittee was alive. Recently he died and the
former chairman appointed new man to
the place. The disbursing officer of the
House refused to pay the new man,
on the ground that Congress having expired
there were no committees in existence and
consequently no chairman, SO that no one had
the power of appointment. This Is the first
time the question has ever come up for legal
decision.
