The Case of a Postmaster Whose Res

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star

TOPEKA, Kan, April 2S, 1894
There Is q very peculiar ste te of affairs at
ST. Mary's, Kan. st. Mary's 10 a little town
Of 1000 Inhabitants In Pottawatomie county,
and Is one Of the strongest democratic COM
munities in the state. The democrats are of
the Andrew Jackson type. and believe that
this Is a time when only democrats should
be put on guard.
A year and a half ago J. 8. Carpenter, an
offensive republican, resigned the office of
postmaster and removed to Council Grove.
in another county. He took with him his
newspaper plant. which had been the chief
cause of his unpopularity at St. Mary's, and
told his democratic haters to take the post
S fasntiv an por Keep fs IT Spsntsr waited pa
ton by the department at Washington. but
1t never came. Finally, by an arrangement
with his bondsmen. he put a deputy In
charge and left for Council Grove. where he
has remained.
For eighteen months Carpenter has
waited for the acceptance Of his resignation
as postmaster at st. Mary's, but in vain
His republican deputy continues to trans
act the business Of the Office and with the
assistance Of Carpenter, who goes to St
Mary's at the close CT each quarter to make
and sign up his reports to the department
the business OF the st. Mary's post Office
pened.
The cause Of all this Is the failure of the
nine democratic applicants to come to an
agreement on the question of postmaster
The friends of each have pursued Senator
Martin. and made life q burden to him.
More than 500 letters have been written to
Washington protesting against Carpenter
who Is nonresident, holding the office
and urging the appointment of this or that
democrat as his successor Senator Martin
however, tells them they must get to-
gether" before he will act. But there Is no
hope for q compromise.

w. ANn e. R.R. CHARTER.
Recommendation of the Commission
ers a. t9 Its Amendment.


fhe Commissioners have sent to Con-
gress, With request for favorable action
thereon, bill entitled "A bill to amend an
act entitled An act to incorporate the
Washington aud Georgetown Railroad Com
pany.' approved May IL. 1852"
The object of the proposed legislation is
to secure the extension of the Georgetown
tracks of the Washington and Georgetown
Railroad Company to a point near the
AQueduct bridge and the establishment at
such terminus of a union street car pas
senger house.
In reporting upon the pending bill Oh r.
0O+O) Tor an extension of time and change
OK route and construction Of the Washing
ton and Great Falls Electric Railway Com
pany, the Commissioners recommended a
route for the company with a view OF the
entrance OF Its line into such union sta
ton. =.
The site for location of the station, ap-
proximately described in that report and In
the present, is nnimproyed and adaptable
Tor the purpose. Access TO it by street car
tracks from the east. west and south Is not
inconvenient.
The Commissioners are Of the opinion
that street car companies desiring to enter
Georgetown from Virginia should be allow
ed to use the Aqneduct bridge outside OF the
roadway and TO enter the union station
each under reasonable and just conditions,
and that accommodation for passengers TO
transfer from car line to car line. under
roof, at the locality, should be required for
the convenience and comfort of the travel
ing public. 1t is thought such arrangement
would be advantageous for the companies
and tend to the prevention of the cutting
OF pavements and obstruction Of streets by
railroad tracks.
A second object of the bill is to have pro-
Y1ded passenger house near and west Of
the Peace monument in order to afford coy
er Tor passengers transferring at that point,
from either branch to the other branch OF
the Washington and Georgetown Railroad
Company, without the necessity Of crossing
track or walking an inconvenient distance
to and from passenger house located on
private property or on the sidewalk
1t is understood that structure in front
OF the monument would obstruct its view
from that side, but the Commissioners are
led to believe that the location of the monu-
ment is not satisfactory, and that there is
desire for its removal to some other site

KANSAS GERMAK-AMERICANs.
Convention of an Important Political
Body at Topeka.


Special Correspondents Of The Evening Star.
TOPEKA, Kan, April IS, 1894.
The German-Americans will be an i'm
portant factor in the campaign in this state
this year. The state league Is arranging for
the call of the convention, to be held in To-
peka In June. The league claims a member
ship Of $1,000 in the state. The officers state
that they have extended the membership
nearly 5000 during the past six weeks.
Within the past two months meetings have
been held in all the principal cities of the
state, and committees were appointed and
have been at work In the smaller places,
where there are not enough German-Ameri-
cans to form Independent clubs
The league Is purely political, though Ii is
claimed not to be partisan organization
Its object now Is to defeat the woman suf-
frage amendment to the constitution, which
Is to be voted on In November, and the cleo
ton Of q legislature pledged to resubmIt to
a vote OF the people the prohibition amend
ment to the constitution. All members are
required to pledge themselves to oppose the
election Of any man, regardless of party
who Is not in full sympathy with them on
these questions.
None but native Germans or German ex-
traction can become members Of the league.
Before the prohibitory amendment to the
constitution was adopted the German
Americans AFFILIATED with the republican
party, but as soon as that party cham
pioned prohibition the Germans deserted Il.
and have since voted with the opposition In
state matters. They intend to unite all eie-
ments In sympathy with them this year and
throw their forces to the candidates and the
party that will oppose woman suffrage.
This fact has caused both populists and re-
publicans to discourage the adoption Of a
suffrage plank In their platforms. and 1t Ii
reasonably certain that neither convention
will touch this question.

Of this fact by the appended correspond
ents seems appropriate in view of the re-
cent death of Mr.. Hatton: Therefore
Resolved. That we deplore the decease of
Mr.. Hatton as a great loss to the profess
sion, the city Of Washington and to the
general public.
Resolved. That as Mr.. Hatton was always
in full sympathy with our labors and with

culiar manner his absence and declare our
deep sense of personal and professional loss
in his death.
Resolved. That the correspondents attend
the funeral In a body.

robbing them, and then dividing with her
alleged husband. The couple had been, the
officer said, arrested some days ago, but

While the exciting scenes at the Capitol
were going on Unknown" Smith, one OF
the ex-leaders Of the commonweal, was q
most interested spectator. Afterward he
said to 2 Star reporter: II consider that a
deep outrage has been done to the Ameri-
can people. I saw clubs flying in that
crowd, and 1 suppose that Browne was
struck If he has been, or. in fact, whether
he has been or not. I want to say right here
that l represent three societies Of humani-
tartan principles which will take this mat
ter up and fight it through to the bitter
end. And to do this. will employ the best
legal talent to be obtained in the country
These men went quietly and peaceably to
the Capitol grounds, which belong as much
10 them as to any one else, carrying in
their hands flags Of truce -
Even enemies In time Of War resp sct flags
OF truce, and yet Browne was mobbed by a
crowd of policemen and dragged away and
had been any necessity for such action II
might have been different but here was a
case OF two men simply wanting to make
speech from property which belonged
to the entire people and a speech on a
subject which they believed was Of the
most intense importance to the Ameri-
can people. There were two hundred DO
licemen present, and If these men had been
allowed to speak and go away quietly
there would have been not the slightest
trouble or difficulty. The treatment Coxey
and Browne had received Is outrageous ard
1 feel assured the American people will re-
sent it,"

Relics Of the kearsarge,

Mr.. Eckford, consul at Kingston, Jamaica,
reports to the State Department that he has
recovered the union jack and few other
relics Of the Kearsarge. He says that
the vessel was a total wreck before 1t was
set on fire and could not possibly have been
saved. He mentions, as a curious coinci-
dence, that the man who fired the ship was
named Eldridge Semmes Bodden in honor OF
the commander of the confederate cruiser

Pleased That There Was No More
Trouble.

Maj. Moore, chief Of police, speaking of
the incidents of the day, said this after
noon that he had never apprehended any
danger from the Coxey army, except I'm that
the movement might arouse the unem-
ployed and ignorant masses in Washing
ton, of which there are sufficient number
to make a formidable demonstration. If so
disposed.
There is" said he, "a colored population
numbering 5000 in this city, fully half
Of whom are unemployed and many of
whom are vicious. We could not Of course,
afford to permit any demonstration which
would arouse them. Hence the thorough
ness of our preparations"
The chief expressed himself as pleased
that the affair had ended with as little
trouble as it had, and said that every
thing had transpired according to pro-
gram,

Its Usual Peaceful Appearance.
In an hour after Mr.. Coxey's Intellectual
attempt to make a speech on the Capitol
steps the Capitol plaza had resumed very
nearly Its usual appearance. The great
mas Of people that had congregated there
during the morning had disappeared, some
of them following Coxeys misguided men
to their camping grounds and others drift
ing on to their homes. The remaining few
hundreds sought refuge In the great white
building or upon the steps of the east side,
and by 2 o'clock there was hardly a vestige
of the tremendous excitement of an hour
before. Most Of the loiterers who remained
near the building were negroes and idle-ap-
pearslg men, many Of whom sympathiza ed
with the leader Of the commonweal
On all hands could be heard expressions of
sympathy for Browne, and 1t was evident
that the defeat Of the Coxey plan had not
served to suppress any latent regard which
the crowd may have had for the Massillon
