"DOCKERY IS COMING"
Words of Dire Moment to Many Cow

Words of Dire Moment to Many Cow
ernment Clerks.
You'd better brace up, old man, Dockery
will be coming around pretty soon." This
is what the chiefs of the divisions in the de-
partments say now when they want to in
still new energy into clerks. AS Saracen
piothers of old hushed their crying babes
into fearsome silence by whispering the
dread name of Richard Occur de Lion. SO
does the name of Mr.. Dockery and the joint
departmental commission serve to send cold
chills down the spinal columns of a whole
division Of department clerks Of this
day.
Dockery Is coming around. they whis-
per in awe-struck tones. To those who
dreadful creature with thousand eyes,able
to pick out every haw, to see opportunities
Tor all kinds of inconvenient reforms, and
TO discover every imperfection or short
coming in the clerks themselves. They see
visions Of a fierce, avenging being, wreak-
ing wrath and imposing tasks.
Dockery Is coming around, goes the
Whisper down the corridors and through the
rooms. IKE the premonitory sigh of the
wind before a storm, and pipes and cigars
are hastily thrust out of sight, alf-written
letters are showed under the blotters heads
bend lower over the work. and hands
move faster II more nervouSly. Every foot
step in the hall conveys a terror
Dockery Is coming around" repeat the
messengers in frightened accents as they
pass from room to room, and themselves
proceed to cover where they cannot be
found by the awful presence It's a wonder
ful reVlVner, that magic sentence and al
though somewhat DID, is still used to con-
1ure within the departments and to put
tagging clerks into furor of energy and
motion. The intimations of the reforms
to be worked by the joint commission, how
ever,and the announcement of those already
decided upon, still give force and fear to
the warning signal, "Dockery is coming

AN OFFICIAL QUARREL.


Mr. Henry Smith, the Assistant Regis
ter, to BE Removed.
1t has been decided that Mr.. H. H. Smith.
formerly journal clerk of the House for
many years, is to be dismissed within a day
or two from the position of assistant regis
ter Of the treasury. which he has held since
receiving an appointment early in the ad-
ministration of Mr.. Harrison. There Is
quite a story in this case. and 1t is one
which has received the attention Of not only
the Secretary of the Treasury. but of the
President himself. Mr.. Cleveland appoint
ed Mr.. Tillman. who was formerly secreta-
~ Of the Farmers Alliance. to be register of
the treasury, and soon after this induction
to office he and Mr.. Smith, deputy register.
locked horns, and there has been a merry
war from that time forward. which has just
now reached It's height. There have been
charges and counter charges filed with the
Secetary and the President. Mr.. Smith Is
republican. but served as journal clerk of
the House under Mr.. Carlisle. and. of
course. II we'll known to him. Just what
caused the row between Smith and Tillman
Is unimportant, as 1t has been obscured by
the growth of the conflict since. Smith
charged the register with tyranny over the
employees in his Office and with general in
drunkenness and neglect Of duty. and many
other charges and counter charges have
been filed.
Smith has now filed with the Secretary
charges and a great mass Of documentary
testimony intended to sustain them, that
Mr.. Tillman tried to dicker with both the
democratic and republican national commit
tees during the last presidential campaign
to sell out secrets Of the alliance, and that,
getting better terms from the democrats
than he could get from the republicans he
furnished the democratic committee with
the alliance list and other information
which was very valuable to them during
the campaign and which is believed to have
been Of material assistance toward the
election Of Mr.. Cleveland.
The President Acts.
Soon after Cleveland's election Mr.. Till
man became a candidate for the position
Of commissioner of immigration and was
pressed for the place by a large number
Of democrats who had been associated with
the management of the presidential cam
paign and who claimed that the appoint
ment vas due him for services rendered
No man was appointed to that particular
place and Mr.. Tillman was kept on the
anxious seat for long while. but finally
in response to numerous demands from
democrats that he be rewarded for his very
valuable services to the party he was ap
pointed register of the treasury. 1t is said
in the department that he makes a capable
and efficient register. The President has
been informed that Mr.. Smith has made
boasts that he could not be removed, and
consequently the order has gone out that
his removal be made as quickly as possible,
and he will be removed as soon as his sue
cessor can be selected. which will probably
be within a day or two.

ADMIRAL STANTON REPORTS.


rival i'm This Country.
Acting Admiral Stanton, late i'm command
of the United States squadron in Brazilian
waters. has made known his return to this
country to the Navy Department Con-
sidering the rather peculiar. status of the
admiral. who was relieved from his COM
mand because of his recognition of Mello.
the rebellious Bra azilian naval commander,
it might be supposed that he would avail
himself of the opportunity afforded by his
communication to say something in the
nature Of an explanation. But as a matter
Of fact the admrars letters, of which there
are two. are models of brevity SO short
indeed as to convey perhaps a sense of
wounded dignity. In his first letter the
admiral reports his arrival i'm the United
States at New York. in conformity with the
requirements of the naval regulation, in
the second he simply states his address in
New London, Conn.
On Waiting Orders.
Technically, the officer is on waiting
orders. and probably he will remain at his
home in New London until he receives fur
ther orders from the Secretary Of the Navy.
The admiral undoubtedly has enlisted the
sympathy of q number of his brother Off
GERS. but it is difficult to see how the Secre-
tary could have pursued a different course
in view OF the fact that the admiraIs con-
duct In the matter of saluting Mello, al
though corresponding to that of other for
eign naval officers at Rio, was made the
subject Of a special remonstrancs by the
Brazilian government
May BE Summoned Here.
The case Of Admiral Stanton was consid-
cred at today's cabinet meeting, and it is
probable that he will be summoned To
| washington in few days to give a per-
sonal explanation Of his conduct at Rio.
