THE ROACH INVESTIGATION.


Mr.. La Moure Has Come on Loaded to Stop
A bombshell has dropped into the camp Of
the Senators who are insisting upon the in
vestigation of Senator Roach, and the fuse is
suffering viciously, with promise Of loud e1-
plosion.
Furthermore, the shell WAS fred from a re-
publican battery, and il it bursts threatens to
do damage to the republican ranks.
Mr.. Jud La Moure, prominent republican
Of North Dakota, has arrived in the city for the
purpose Of stopping the fight on Senator Roach.
1t is said that he has threatened to make some
disclosures of recent election methods in North
Dakota which Senator Hsnsbrough, the repub-
hcan Senator from that state, may not relish.
Mr.. La Moure was a republican member Of
the North Dakota legislature. but voted for Mr..
Roach. and it is said that it was his vote that
turned the tide in Roach's favor and which re-
suited in his election. There is said to be au
old feud between Senator Hansbrough and Mr..
La Moure, and the latter has taken pains to ap-
prise himself of everything which he can turn
to Mr.. Roach's benefit and Mr.. Hansbrough' s
discontinue, thus killing two birds with one
stone.
Mr.. La Moure has been a leading factor in
republican politics in North Dakota since terri
torial days and knows the history OF every
move. He has conferred with Senator German
and placed him in possession OF facts to use as
persuaders to the republicans to stop the fight
on Roach and has announced his presence here
and intentions to the republicans.

CLEvELAND.s CHICAGO TRIP.
Arrangements for the President to Attend
the Opening of the Fair.

Arrangements for the President to Attend
the Opening of the Fair.
The arrangements for the trip Of President
Cleveland to Chicago to take part in the
exercises attending the opening of the
Columbian exposition on May will
be completed in q day or two. So far
the arrangements now extend they
provide for quick trip on a special train on
the Pennsylvania route. The day and hour of
departure from. Washington and from
Chicago have not been definitely de-
termined, bat in order to suit
Mr.. Clevelands wishes i: is probable
that the train will leave Washington on the
morning Of April 80 and start on its home
ward trip from Chicago the evening Of
May l. The train was rendered by
the worlds fair committee on reception
aud it will be elegantly fitted up for
the distinguished party. All the men,
bers Of the cabinet have expressed
desire to accompany the President and they
will probably carry out the intention.
Mrs Cleveland will not as alre ,dy
stated. attend the opening ceremonies. but
will press button at the White House that will
turn molten metal at Chicago into the mold of
a memorial bell to be used by the Society Of
the Daughters OF the American Revolution.
1t is expected. however. that several of the
cabinet ladies will accompany the presidential
party to Chicago.

THE NEW JUDGES.

Their Nominations stiu Hang rir--rhe
President Having . Hard Time.
The nominations for the three judges Of the
new Court of Appeals still hang fire and from
the news received At the Capitol
today the prospect for the appointments
is not especially bright The President
from all indications is having an exceed.
ingiy hard time in coming TO q final decision
on the three men. Senator Gibson Of Mary
land spent some time with tho President by ap-
pointment today, and it needs no saying
that all this time was spent in presenting
arguments why Senator Faulkner should be one
Of the three men. Immediately after the Junior
Senator from Maryland reached the Capitol
the statement Was made in the committee on
finance that the President had sent word up
to a number Of his special supporters in the
Senate requesting that that body remain
in session for another week and giving as his
reason the difficulty he was meeting in filing
the bench of the new Appeals Court. The ex-
ecutive session Of the Senate which convened
Immediately after the reading Of the journal
has kept every Senator Theoretically sealed
away from any question.

Coupon Journalism.

From the Buffalo Courier.
Here is little story for which every reader
may furnish his own moral. In New England
city q bright young woman who earns her own
living had saved ELS with which to go to the
worlds fair. A few weeks ago . Sensational
Boston newspaper started o contest for free
trips to the fair. The young woman's friends
thought they would surprise her with one Of
these free trips They began buying the news
paper coupons and sending them in to be
credited to her. Some indiscreet friend let her
know what Was gong on. As her friends were
spending SO much money for her benefit she
felt bound in honor to asssist In the end her
S75 went into the pool, and in the total over
$500 were spent. But this sum was not quite
enough. The free trip went to somebody who
had 20.5 500 coupons against her q, 900. She gets
nothing for the S400 spent in her behalf, and
she will not 60 to the fair. Hundreds more
tried and failed. The Newspaper pocketed
thousands OF dollars for which Il makes no re-
turn. But did the newspaper get this money
honestly? Would any honorable newspaper take
money 80 procured? And would any sensible
person pay money into such q lottery scheme?
From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicai.
1t Is reasonably safe to conclude that there ID
something wrong with . newspaper which can
not be sold upon its merrits. II is not neces-
sary to offer premiums to people to induce
them to buy something that they really want
and need.

TO SERVE OUT THEIR TERMS,
Fourth Class rs Well as Presidential Post
masters to DO This,

FOurth-Clase as Well aa Presidential Post
masters to DO This.
1t seems likely as far the practice of the pres
ent administration has any weight that here
after it will be one of the unwritten laws gov
erning the appointment Of postniasters
of the fourth class that the incumbents
will be allowed to serve out their
terms of four years. This is the uuwritten Jaw
now relative to appointments in the presidential
class as well as to good many other positions
in the government service. 1t is decidedly novel
in its application to positions like post Offices
OF the fourth class, and whether this rule will
continue to be followed remains to be seen. In
addition to this time rule another new feature
governs appointments OF this class, and
that is the care that is being taken in
the selection of men to fill these
places. The number Of cases that are turned
out each day by Mr.. Maxwell has never ex-
ceeded 200, and it has rarely reached that fig
ure. 1t is understood that the Presi-
dent takes good deal Of inter-
est in these appointments and while
be does not look into the merits Of the indi-
vidual cases. yet the general rule under which
they are made has been approved by him. and
such notifications may seem wise to be
made in the future will no doubt be made
after consultation with him.
Postmaster General Bissell is inclined to be
conservative in the administration of the de-
partment, and SO far he has, perhaps, made
fewer changes in the personnel of the de-
partment than any other cabinet officer.
With the exception Of the appointment
Of the fourth assistant and the chief of the
bond division, both Of which places were va

seems to have no one in view for these posi-
tons. and in fact does not seem to be bother
ing himself with such matters, which the aver

portant detail connected with an Office He

Messrs. Curtis and Hamlin Were Both at
the Treasury Department Today.
Both Assistant Secretary W. E. Curtis Of
New York and Assistant Secretary Charles s.
Hamlin Of Massachusetts, we're at the Treasury
Department today. Though Mr.. Hamlin has
been conf rmed, his commission has not yet
reached the treasury, but so soon as it does he
will assume control Of his Office. which is now
vacant.
He is fifty-two years OF age and unmarried.
Last year he was the democratic candidate for
secretary of state. Mr.. Hamlin is a lawyer by
profession and is very popular in and about
Boston. He comes of a democratic family, as
his father and grandfather were Of that politi-
cal faith. The Shoreham is his residence for
the present.
MIR. Curtis arrived here this morning. having
come from Fortress Monroe. He is stopping
at the Arlington. For a long time this morn
ing he was closeted with Assistant Secretary
Lamberton talking over the duties of his Office.
Mr.. Curtis will assume control in two or three
days.

CANADA WILL COOPERATE
In the Endeavor to Keep Out the Scourge
Of Contagious Diseases.

In the Endeavor to Keep Out the Scourge
Of Contagious Diseases.
That the Canadian officials are willing to
cooperate with those OF the United
States in their efforts to keep the
scourge of contagious disease from gaining
q foothold in the country by importation
was made manifest by the receipt of q COM
munlcation from the deputy secretary of agri-
culture by Surgeon General Wyman. II was
wholly voluntary upon the part of the Canadian
officer, a fact which adds greatly to the
sense OF appreciation with which il was
received. Some days ago a representative
Of the Canadian department called at the head
quarters of the marine hospital service in this
city and had a conversation with Surgeon
General Wyman about quarantine work.
In the course OF their talk DIR. Wyman re-
marked that it would be good thing for the
United States o have a medical officer located
at the quarantine station on Crosse Isle In the
st. Lawrence; but. of course. preferred
no request in that informal way. A day or two
ago he received q letter from the deputy
secretary, which. after referring to the
visit OF his subordinate, extended IN invitation
to the surgeon general TO station an officer at
Crosse Isle, stating that every facility would be
given him to inspect the methods Of examIna-
ton, fumigation, &C.. in vogue there, SO that
he might give the proper and satisfactory GER
tificates to the emigrants destined for the
United States.
Atpresent all direct immigration into Canada
is through the port Of Halifax, and two officers
Of the marine hospital service are located there.
In the summer, however. there will be q large
movement by way of the ST. Lawrence and the
presence of an officer at Crosse Isle will be of
great value to the United States.

THE MILK QUESTION.
Two Delegations Heard ON the Subject by
the commissioners.

Two Delegations Heard ON the Subject by
the Commissioners.
The Commissioners devoted a large portion
Of today to the consideration Of the milk ques-
ton, and heard two separate delegations in the
board room on the subject. First came
Messrs. Outrich, Denly and Ayre, to-
gether with their counsel, Mr.. c. Maurice
Smith. These gentlemen are the ones who
were arrested for selling impure and adulter-
ated milk. Mr.. Smith in presenting the case
to the Commissioners maintained that the
wrong men were being prosecuted. In every
large city. he said, the inspection Of milk took
place at the shippers and the innocent dealers
who purchased the milk in good faith were not
molested. He thought the gentlemen whom be
represented were the victims Of a great
injustice and their business had been
injured by being Disseminated against. II
an inspection Of milk was necessary, and he
believed it was. 1t should take place at the
depot or at the big supply stations: and II
found impure or adulterased should then and
there be rejected but he did not think
and did not believe that either the
public interest or the law could be subserved
by dragging innocent people into court just
the requisite amount Of fat Instead Of Sc
lecting one dairy lunch proprietor and
prosecuting him dozen or more should have
been arrested and q test case made, but 1t was
manifestly unjust to single out one man and
make an example Of him for the benefit of all
the other dairy lunches. They have had
notice now what the Commissioners propose
to do and they wall be very watchful lest
they be arrested; but his clients had received
no intimation of what was to be done. The
records showed that they had asked for inspec-
tions Of milk from time to time before the on
slaught was made against the milk dealers.
They bought In good faith and were anxious
that their customers received the best milk OBJ
tainable.
Later in the day Q committee composed Of
Messrs. Mount, Nswbold, Mvord and Davis,
appointed at the meeting OF the dairymen last
night, called upon the Commissioners and dis
cussed the milk question Ut length. It was
commended by them that the proper thing to
do was 10 insist upon pure milk, for ts was
vastly more important TO have pure milk than
rich milk

A LUNCH FOR THE TARS.

How the Sailors at the Naval Review Are
to be Entertained.
While extensive preparations are being made
to entertain the officers of the visiting and
home fleets of the naval review nothing las
heretofore been suggested for the pleasure Of
the ordinary sailors.
, The New York chamber Of commerce now
comes to the front, however, with hospitable
proposition. The chamber has extended an
invitation through the Secretary of the Navy to
all of the able seamen of the United States and
foreign ships to a lunch to be held in the ar
mory of the seventh regiment N. G. N. Y,
April %.
1t is proposed to escort the sailors from the
landing place to the armory with the full sew
enth regiment and band and detachment OF
men from the naval reserve Of the state militia.
Secretary Herbert has acknowledged the re-
ceipt of the invitation and granted his permits
sion to. Admiral Gherardi to accept it at his
discretion.

MANY MILLIONS INVOLVED,
The Hat Trimming Cases Again Before tn
United States Supreme Court.

Inc HAT trimming Cases Again Before the
United states Supreme Court.
What are known as the hat trimming
cases" are engaging the attention o: the ST.
prenie Court today upon oral argument by
counsel. These arise out Of tho con-
troversy between the customs officers and
the importers as TO the rate Of duty to be
imposed upon certain articles under the terms
Of the tariff act Of 1883. The contention Of the
customs officials is that they are dutiable as
manufactures Of silk. OF OF which silk IL the
chief component, at 50 per cent aa valorem;
tie importers claim that the duty
should be at the rate of 20 per cent ad vaiorem
as hat trimmings. The matter. in one form or
another. has been before the Supreme Court
three times and been decided in the thinner
man case. the Langfeld case and the Edelhoff
case, the latter having been decided January 6,
1880. The decisions were against the govern
ment, and at intervals since then the Treasury
Department has paid refunds of duties under
the ruling Of the court. The amount of money
necessary to discharge all claims liable yet to
be filed under the cases mentioned has been es-
timated at from Sll. 500 900 to $50, 900 900. and
the officials have been anxious to stop the drain
if possible.
