WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Already con-
siderable number of office-seekers have
arrived in Washington and are looking
over the ground, using Congressional in
fluence and otherwise making every
effort to secure advantage for the offices
which will be at the disposal of the COM
ing Administration. Many of them were
here eight years ago, but when Cleve-
land assumes direction of Governmental
affairs four weeks hence they will realize
that the classified civil service, even dur
ing the present administration, has alb
sorbed many places thought to be desir-
able. The General Land Office will still
have few places at disposal, among the
number seventeen Surveyors-General,
one each in Arizona, Alaska, California,
Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana,
Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Mex
leo, North Dakota, oregon, South Dakota,
Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The
salaries attached to these Offices range
from 81, 800 TO 81, 700. There are also 123
local Land Offices with a Register and
Receiver at each, with salaries ranking
from $3.50 to 5000.
Two of these offices are in Alabama,
one in Alaska, Arizona two, Arkansas
four, California ten, Colorado thirteen,
Florida one, Idaho five, Iowa one, Kan
sas seven, Louisiana two, Michigan two,
Minnesota five, Mississippi one, Missouri
three. Montana five, Nebraska twelve,
Nevada two, New Mexico four, North
Dakota five, Oklahoma four, Oregon and
South Dakota eight each, Utah one,
Washington seven, Wisconsin four and
Wyoming six.
Then there are eleven chiefs ofdivision
in the General Land Office who receive a
salary of 3, 800 apiece, one chief clerk at
$1,000, ten principal examiners at 81, 900,
two law clerks at S2,25O, two law ex-
aminers at $1,000, one receiving clerk at
Sl,S00, confidential clerk to Commissioner
who receives s., 800 and a number of mes
sengers and laborers whose compensa-
ton ranges from 5000 to $40.
In the Bureau of Patents there are only
a few important places outside of the
classified service, and this also is the case
in the Indian Bureau.
The Pension Office has less than fifty
places above the lowest grade.
The richest field for office-seekers will
be the Postoflice Department, which has
the appointing of about $1,000 POST
masters

Rematns of Popular Young Man of
Iuba City Buried.
YUBA CITY, Feb. 5.-The funeral of the
late Willard d. Woodwork, who was
drowned in Feather River a short dis
tance above here last Thursday evening,
occurred to-day, and was, perhaps, the
largest ever seen here. He was buried
under the auspices of various Masonic
organizations, of which he was promi-
nent member.
The body OF Miss Pauline Newcomb,
who was drowned at the same time, has
not yet been recovered, though many
friends have been constantly searching
with drags, giant powder, etc. The re-
cent storm raised the river so high that it
is not thought likely that the body will be
found for long time, if ever.
Many theories are advanced as to the
exact manner in which the young couple
met their death but it is generally sup
posed that they We're changing positions
in the boat that she might row when they
either lost their balance or the boat
struck a snag and both were thrown out.
The body of Woodworth indicated that
he had clung to the boat sometime but
that he was so exhausted in trying to
save his companion that he had not
strength enough to crawl into the boat
after he had remained on it.

statement in Regard to the RumOr
That He Held Eacl1 State Money.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 5. - Attorney
General W. 81. Fl. Hart was seen to-day
IN regard to the story telegraphed from
Sacramento that he had been holding
money belonging to the State i'll his pos
session after it should have been placed
IN the State Treasury. This latest story
Is of the s., 900 recovered from the Amer
lean Sugar Refinery by Pierson and
Mitchell. Mr.. Hart, when questioned,
admitted that the allegation was true,
and offered the following explanation:
ST. B. Bishop of counsel for the Amer
ican Sugar Refinery, offered to pay me
the fine of $1,000 in June, 1890. at first
refused to accept it, as l feared it might
have the effect of ratifying the appoint
ment of receiver in that Same case, and
the appeal that had taken from the judg-
ment against the State for S24.0OO costs
was pending. Mr.. Bishop urged that the
company wanted to settle its affairs in
California, and offered to pay the money,
with the express condition that Judgment
should not be used until the other case
was settled. Then Pierson and Mitchell
found fault with my collecting the money,
claiming that if they had received it they
could have deducted their fee and money
they had advanced for costs.
Il told them that l would condsider
that they hhld the money, if that would
help them. That was satisfactory. but
Controller Colgan refused to pay, and
then turned the money into the Treasury.
They were to furnish an opinion as to
their right to fee, but they delayed for a
long time"
Then it was to protect Pierson and
Mitchell that you held the money!"
That was one reason. and my agree
ment with Mr.. Bishop was another"
Did you have this money on deposit
in any bank?'
"No, it was in my safe in this city"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Caminetti
hydraulic mining bill passed the Senate
yesterday and has gone back to the House
Tor concurrence. Having been given an
advantageous position on the calendar by
unanimous consent it was called up with
out opposition, and it was tacitly under
stood, apparently. that there should beno
lengthy discussion, that matter having
been arranged beforehand by FELTON, and
Stewart, who had made up their minds
to make up for all the time lost on ac-
count of the long wait for the arrival of
Judge Niles Searls, the representative of
the State Miners Association.
There was only one voice heard in oppo-
sltlon, that of Senator Cockrell, who has
taken upon himself the task of watching
the Treasury doors for the Senate. He
objected to the appropriation of SIS. 900
and spoke briefly on that point. Senator
FELTON, made a brief explanation of the
measure, and without further debate the
bill passed.
1t now devolves upon the committee to
see that the amendments are concurred
IN at once, or, that failing, to have the
conferees arrive at an agreement without
delay.

ORovILLE, Feb. 4.-Charles ST. Clair,
Deputy Sheriff and jailer of this county,
left here Friday to serve some papers on
the Mountain House. The storm that
night and yesterday morning was very
severe and raised Canyon Creek, which
he had to cross when coming home,
unusually high. This forenoon +.
Rogers, who lives near the stream, saw q
horse standing under his shed with a
broken harness on.
Rogers ran down the creek and saw St.
Clair's buggy in the stream near foot
bridge, but the other horse had evidently
been drowned, as he was not in sight.
The buggy was almost submerged in the
swift current, and Rogers could not see
whether St Clair's body was in the buggy
or not. No trace of him can be found
along the creek, although searching
parties are out. He was member OF
Sherman Post, Grand Army of the Re-
public, and was highly esteemed.

JUSTICE LAMAR,s SUCCESSOR.

Action Discussed.

Action Discussed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Criticism upon
the appointment by President Harrison
of Judge Jackson to succeed the late AS
sociate Justice Lamar on the Supreme
Bench made by J. S. Clarkson. and pub
lshed this morning, is the subject of con-
siderable discussion among politicians
to-day. The fact that Clarkson requested
senator Cullom to protest against the
confirmation Of Judge Jackson's nomi-
nation adds interest to the affair.
Senator Cullom was seen this afternoon
by reporter, and asked what action. if
any, he had determined to take. He said
he had been so busy with other matters
that he was unable to consider the SUBJ
Ject, and had nothing to say as to his in
tentions with regard to the course of the
nomination.
1t is not considered probable by many
Senators that Judge Jackson's nomina-
ton will be rejected Notwithstanding
that there has arisen considerable opposi-
tlon to him among Democratic members
OF the body. They say that Judge Jack
son is not satisfactory to them as party
man, and Senator Harris is quoted as
having referred to him as no more of a
Democrat than linen on the other side of
the chamber"
One OF the Presidents friends said this
afternoon that Clarkson's statement that
no other President ever before appointed
members of the Supreme Bench from the
ranks of another political party is not
well founded in fact. He said the Presi-
dent had the precedent OF the first Repub-
Ilcan President for the nomination of
jackson; that in 1868 President Lincoln
nominated Stephen J. Field, a Democrat.
to place on the bench, which Field still
retains. If Judge Jackson is now re-
Jected by the Senate, he said. Cleveland
would almost be compelled to send his
name into tho Senate again, thus prevent
ing the possibility of the nomination of a
man who might be possessed of the un-
desirable qualifications mentioned by
Clarkson in his letter criticising the
Presidents action.
In this connection, Senator Dolph's de-
sire is 10 have it stated that the renort
that he is an applicant for the place on
The Supreme Bench made vacant by the
death of Justice Lamar is false. On the
contrary, he volunteered to say to the
PRESIDENT that in his opinion the ap-
polntee should be taken from Justice
Lamar's circuit.

DEATH OF MRS. WHITNEY.
The Wife of the EX-Secretary of the
Treasury Passes Away.

The Wife of the Ex-Secretary of the
Treasury Passes Away.
New York, Feb. 5.-Mrs. William c.
Whitney, wife of the ex-Secretary of the
Navy. died at 3:25 this morning.
All day long Mrs. Whitney sank slowly
and steadily. With increasing weakness
that caused the gravest fears the family
watched by the bedside, the physicians
saying they could do nothing but wait
for the crisis. During the day there were
many callers, who came with anxious in
quiries. Messages came from the Cleve-
lands at Lakewood, who were kept
posted at frequent intervals as to the pa
tient's condition.
According to medical experts in heart
disease the patients suffering was from
that trouble. Sometimes there is q rally
at the last moment, but in this instance
the faint hope in that direction was not
realized. From midnight on the family
could only await the end, which came
peacefully.
For years Mrs. Whitney had shown
evidence of a weakness. More than once
her family had been startled by slight at
tacks of the disease, but she rallied
quickly always, and while no precautions
were omitted, her condition was not be-
lieved to be serious. About three weeks
ago the old trouble returned in an aggra-
waited form, and during the intervening
time she was carefully guarded lest any
undue influence should disturb her The
night before the fatal attack she gave
dinner dance, and the excitement and
strain upon her undoubtedly brought it
on. The next day she was confined to
her bed, and never left it.
The death of Mrs. Whitney has awak-
ened widespread sympathy throughout
the country, and all day kilograms and
messages of coincidence were received by
the family. The funeral will take place
at 10 o'clock Tuesday forenoon from st.
Bartholomew's Church, Madison avenue.
Mrs. Whitney fully deserved the name
of social leader. She was not surpassed
by any in the charmed circle outside of
which such an expert as Ward McAllister
held that there was no society.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

PRESCOTT (Ariz.), Feb. 5.-A fire oc-
CURED this morning at o'clock at Cop
per Basin, destroying the entire reduc-
ton works of the Commercial Mining
Company, consisting of smelter, chIorin-
alton and teaching works. 1t is difficult
to ascertain the exact loss, as no repre-
sentative of the company lives here who
can give it, but it is not less than $50. 900
and some estimate it at 5000, 200, as part of
the machinery was very expensive.
None of the local insurance agents had
ever placed any insurance, and there was
none on the property unless placed from
the New York Office. The origin of the
fire is unknown, but by some is supposed
to be incendiary, while others think it
was the work of tramps. On account of
the scarcity of water, the works had been
closed for several weeks, and there had
been no fire on the premises. While the
organization is known as the Commercial
Mining Company, the stock is all owned
by Phelps, Dodge & Co. of New York,
also the owners of copper mines at
Bisbee, in this territory.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-United States
Fish Commissioner Mcdonald does not
look for any Legislation by the present
Congress for the preservation of the
salmon fisheries in Alaska, but it is his
purpose TO make determined effort to
secure legislation on the subject bv the

elaborate reports submitted, the Commits

upon legislators the importance of the in
dustry in the United States, and the
enormous pecuniary interests involved.
Commissioner Mcdonald says if salmon

the industry would in a short time be
more valuable to the United States than
the sealing interests of Behring Sea, over
which there is SO much discussion. I'm
less some regulations are soon provided

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The members
of the Hawaiian Annexation Commission
spent quiet Sunday, passing most of the
time in their rooms. The Commissioners
do not expect to have any statement to
make TO the public regarding their
errand until after the conference with
Secretary Foster. II is stated that
the conference between the Secretary and
the Commissioners will not be anything
more than formal until after the arrival
of the next steamer from Hawaii, which
is due at san Francisco on the Sth inst,
bringing further advices to the situation
OF affairs upon the islands.
Speaking of the probable course of
events on the islands, Commissioner
Carter said this afternoon that the Pro-
visional Government would not under
take any legislative action pending nego-
tiations with the United States upon the
subject of annexation, except that the
Advisory Council would probably repeal
the lottery bill which the recent Legisla-
ture passed. AS long ago as last Novem-
ber Minister Stevens wrote a letter SET
ting forth the advantages of the Hawaiian
Islands to the United States, and the de-
sirability of their acquisition by this
country.
ENGLAND's ATTITUDE.
New YORK, Feb. 5.-Regarding Eng
lands attitude in the Hawaii affair, the
London correspondent of a morning pa
per cables: Whatever may be said. Eng
land at heart would be glad to see Amer
lea annex the Hawaiian Islands. She has
too much to look after herself, and does
not want them, but does not want any
other country except America to inter
fere. Here is her attitude as voiced by
the Speaker to-day:
The first article of England's FOREIGN
policy in the future must be the cuItiva-
ton of identity of interests with Amer
lea, with the ultimate aim of forming a
great defensive alliance of the English
speaking powers.
\ statesman who can see beyond his
nose cannot fail to note the tendencies
which are irresistibly driving America
ii ON her comfortable intrenchnent in
the Monroe doctrine. Her interests and
her responsibilities abroad grow in spite
of her, and become too great to permit
her to continue in her old and bliss
full Indifference to external affairs.
The alliance of kindred blood, kim
dred speech and kindred interests
will be that between the two great pow
ers OF the English-speaking race. They,
too, Will be idle to stand for civilization
against all its enemies, and may prove
the ultimate sayiors of culture and peace.
