Sarcasm Made EN- Restless.
For short time yesterday it was inn
possible for newspaper men to get the us
ual list of appointments to fourth class
postoffices. The matter caused good deal
Of comment at the department and it
leaked out that the cause of this policy of
secrecy was the restiveness of the president
and the postmaster general under the
numerous or sarcastic comments of para
graphers and headline editors on the news
papers on "The Working of MaXwell's
Guillotine, etc." 1t was therefore resolved
TO cut off the source of information, but
later in the day Postmaster General Bissel
rescinded the order. The list showed about
l34 fourth-class postmasters appointed.
The Next Pension Commissioner.
1t is reported as the authority of Sen
stor Palmer, chairman of the senate pen
sions committee, that General Raum's
successor had been selected and that the
lucky man would go to the senate within
forty y-eight hours. Further than this Sen
ator Palmer would not say. but he init
mated that the appointee would be from
The north. From this hint it is believed
that there is good foundation for the
report that Judge William Lochren, of
Minneapolis, has been selected. Addition
al Importance is given the rumor by the
TACT that Judge Lochren called at the
White House yesterday morning.
Confirmed by the Senate.

1t is believed McLeod's retirement from

effect upon the anthracite coal trade. His

increase the profits to both miners and

WASHINGTON, April 6.-There was live
iy meeting lasting two hours and three
quarters last evening in the office of Post
master General Bissell between the two
factions of the South Coralina Democracy.
Senator Irby and Representatives Latimer,
Talbert, Shell and Strait were present
representing the Tillmanites, and Senator
Butler and exRepresentatives Johnston
and Hemphill the Conservatives The feel
ing ran high and some tart passages were
exchanged between them, of which the
climax came when, after Johnston had
deniedsome of Irby's statements, the latter
responded that he was responsible for any
/ thing he might say at the conference. The
meeting started out by Senator Irby stat
ing that he had it on authority (Which he
narned) that Senator Butler came there
with stick in his hand and pistol in his
pocket. Butler denied this allegation alb
! solutely.
Didn't Get Well Together.
/ Each side presented its case, the Tillman-
/ ties claiming that they represented the
| Democratic party of South Carolina and
| the Conservatives declaring the Tillman-
ties were Alliance men and not Democrats.
Postmaster General Bissell had said that
| he would hear Senator Irby. The latter
replied that he would wait on the senior
: senator, to which Butler retorted that un-
less Irby was running the meeting he would
| submit to no dictation at his hands and
was tired of his insolence, and there were
equally sharp passages between Strait and
Butler Postmaster General Bissell dur
| ing the hearing laid down the policy OF
| himself. He said that the department
| would not regard the recommendation of a
| senator or representative conclusive, but
merely presumptive in favor of the man
endorsed, so long as he was at the head of
| the postoffice department.
That Eckels Nomination.
The nomination of Eckels to be comp
troller of the currency has not been re
ported to the senate, but is still in the
hands of subcommittee of the commit
tee on finance. In view of the fact that
neither the comptroller of the currency
nor the gentleman selected as deputy
comptroller of the currency-Tucker-ha
had any previous experience in the man
agement of financial affairs the commit
tee is inclined to believe that the prevail
ing rumor as to Eckels' selection for this
position being an inadvertence is vel
founded, and it is understood that the at
tention of the president will be brought
to this particular case by members of the
committee through representations made
to the head of the treasury department.
