THAN Encampment.
From THE GLOBE Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE presi-
dent this morning received another copy
of the many occasional invitations that
! have been rendered him since his inau-
guration to attend Georgia fairs. This
! time he was asked to be present at
the opening of the Dixie Interstate fair,
to be held October 25. Senator Walsh,
Secretary Smith, Representatives Black,
Lester and Tate and Washington Des-
sau and Proach Hardeman, of Macon,
composed the committee on invitation
Mr.. Cleveland smilingly referred to the
way in which the people Of Georgia kept
on inviting him to their state and he
said he would try to go this time if pos
sible
Chairman Wilson was at his post in
the House today, but owing to severe
attack of neuralgia was compelled to go
about with his head bandaged.
Owing to the industry and experience
of Hon. John S. Henderson who as
Chairman of the postoffice committee
had charge of the bill. the postoffice ap-
preparation bill was the first to be come
a law. 1t carries the $4,000 for the
fast Southern mail route, as was preyi-
ously stated in this correspondence and
for which Mr.. Henderson made strong
fight in the House and Senator Ransom
in the Senate.
Senator Jarvis has had the salary of
Mr.. Charles Vance, clerk of his commit
tee, increased from 81 400 to So, 200 per
) annum. Senator Jarvis is chairman of
the civil service reform committee.
Politicians here have taken much in
terest in the fate of the News and OBJ
server They say a bright newspaper
can make money in Raleigh.
Senator Ransom has secured $50, 900
for quarantine station at Wilmington.
Everybody continues to praise Cleve-
land for the way in which he put down
the strike.
That staunch democrat and loyal Tar
heel, Josephus Daniels, having figured
until he has cut down pensions $25 5,OOO,'
600 has now taken hold of the clerical
list at the interior department. Today
he completed a statement of the number
of appointments accredited to the Dis
trict of Columbia, the states and terri
tories and the number of appointments
to which these geographical divisions are
entitled on the basis of population. The
number Of appointments accredited to
the District Of Columbia in the services
: of the department of the interior is 500,
and the number to which she is entitled
on the basis of population is but 80, CIV
ing her an excess of $40. The books of
the civil service commission are bur-
probable that no examinations of district
people for places within the classified
service will be made in many months.
) Another interesting feature brought out
, by the figures is the disparity between
the number of appointments received by
Georgia, the home of the secretary Of the
interior, and the number to which her
population entities her. She has acred-
tied to her but 176 and is entitled to ZIG,
leaving deficit of 40. This is interest
ing because of the charge frequently
made that Secretary Smith is discrim'
mating in favor of the citizens of his own
state The list of appointments includes
all places coming within the jurisdiction
of the interior department, in all 7,249.
North Carolina has only IL appoint
ments, while she is entitled to 185. Vir-
ginia has 22S appointments and is en-
titled to 165 Mr.. Daniels can be relied
on to rectify matters so far as our state
is concerned.
The tariff conferees cannot agree as to
the tariff bill.
A big crowd of sugar men came in
from Louisiana today. The Texas and
Louisiana delegations are holding secret
caucuses. There is trouble ahead for the
democrats.
