WANTED AN OFFICE.
A West virginIan's Odd Mistake-Senator
Faulkner's Chances.
cnsrlnI Tlalan-a,n u IA Peniatsr

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 15.-Sen-
ator Faulkner has returned to the city,
his sister-in-law's condition having i'm
proved little, and he will remain here
for some DAYS unless she again grows
dangerously ill. He said he did not
know what the probabilities were OF
bis nomination for the Chief Justice
ship Of the District Appellate
Court, but intimated that the pO-
sition would be acceptable TO him
il the President saw ht TO name him.
Some OF those who have talked with the
President on the subject say that Mr..
Cleveland seems reluctant 10 take so
active aud valuable a man as Senator
Faulkner out OF the Senate at this time
and place him on the bench. The
President feels that the Democratic
side of the Senate should be
kept as strong as possible, ana
that any new man who
might now come in. no matter what his
natural ability, could not serve the
party in the body as efficiently as man
with Senator Faulkner's experience. AT
the same time he rsalizes that the SEN
ator would fill admirably the high Office
Of Chief Justice Of the Appellate Court;
better, probably, than any man men
toned for the place.
Mr.. John Fehrenbath, Of Wheeling,
present Supervising Inspector OF the
Seventh Steamboat District has filed at
the Treasury an application to be re-
tained in his place.
This was semi-monthly pay day at

ernoon a long line OF clerks formed in
the corridor near the diSbUrsing clerks
Office to receive their envelopes in turn.
While they were thus standing new
arrival in town from West Virginia
burst into the building Satchel in hand,
and eager TO file an application for Of
fee with the Postmaster General.
Seeing the long line of clerks,
he hastily took his place at
the tail end and slowly made his way
forward as those in front were paid off
and went away. At last the man ahead
OF him noticing be was a stranger in
the department inquired what he
wanted with the disbursing clerk. The
bewldered West Virginian said he
didn't want anything with the disbnrs-
ing clerk; he wanted to see the Post
master General. The clerk smiled and
explained the situation to the stranger.
Oh" exclaimed the West Virginia
man, II thought.this was line OF can
didates for Office waiting TO see the
Postmaster General" and off he went.

Iigbt House service Non-Partisan.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 15.-Secre-
tarv Carlisle to-day made the first enuncia-
ton of the policy that viii govern his action
in the matter Of appointments in the light
house and life saving service. The an
nouncement was made in connection with
two applications for positions in the light
house service. The Secretary writes:
SIN reply, beg leave 10 inform
you that the positions for which
MIR. Green and Mr.. Burger apply
are not vacant, and no cause for the re-
moval Of the present incumbents is known.
The light keepers are held to strict per-
formance of duty, but unless some lncom-
potency or neglect on their part is shown,
they are not disturbed in their tenure of
office. 1t has been the uniform custom for
many years to regard the light house es-
tablishment as a non-partisan service. II
is my intention to continue that custom.
No light keeper will be disturbed by me in
his official position, merely because OF his
political opinions"

New YORK, March l5.-The White
Star line twin screw freighter Naronic
has been out just 80 days from Liver
pool without being seen or heard from.
The agents of the line in this city ad-
mitted to-day that they had given her
up as lost.
1--WE still hope that she may be saved"
said the local manager of the line, but
it does not look that she is afloat for al
most every part Of the Atlantic has
been traversed by steamers or sailing
vessels and she would in all probability
have been sighted had she been afoat. J"
DThe latest news from Faval, the chief
seaport town in the AZore Islands,
which was received from London by
way OF Lisbon, yesterday, undoubtedly
caused the White Star people to give
uD the NarOnic. Her fate will, in all
probability, pass into maritime history
as one OF the unsolved mysteries OF the
ocean. All that remains to be done
before she is forgotten is the settle
ment of the claims for insurance
against the Underwriters. II it should
be possible that the NarOnic is
still afoat and drifting far to
the south, her crew and passengers
numbering sixty-six in all have not suf-
fered from want as yet, for she was well
pOovisioned and had sufficient guam
tity of canned and fresh food in store
and cargo to last for three months.
Among shipping men on the Mari
time Exchange the general opinion is
that the Naronic ran into heavy field
of ice, or into an iceberg and sunk be-
fore boat could be lowered, carrying
every vestage of her down to the bottom
Of the ocean.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 15.-The
star says: Secretary Carlisle expects
10 have ready 10 submit some financial
propositions by the time Congress meets,
which will form the basis of an agree
ment between Congress and the Executive
on the vexed financial problem. Gentlemen
who have talked with him on the sub
ject say that he has a plan pretty
well outlined in his mind which
will involve a complete reorganization Of
our financial system. IL is said that it will
include the repeal of the law compelling
the purchase of silver by the government
and will provide for the deficiency of cur
reucy by providing for the repeal Of the
State bank tax, aud the issue of currency
bv banks under State charter under the
general supervision Of the general govern
ment, the security for the currency pro-
vided for under the laws OF the States re
curing the approval Of the government.

be apt TO endanger the property and lives
OF Americans They told the President
that they came to him not as representa-
tives Of the church, but as citizens, and
they had no suggestions to make, but had
simply come TO confer with him. Mr.. Cleve-
land said in reply that he had to enforce it
as we'll as other laws Of the country. The
bishops admitted this, but suggested that
IL might be possible to mitigate in some de-
gree the seventies of the laws and opera
tions. The President told them he would
DO what he could and the interview termi-
mated.
