MR.. DANIELS
POPULARITY.
RISING ALL THE TINE.
Prospects Still Frightening.

Wash. Cor. to Richmond Dispatch.
Mr.. Josephus Daniels, of North Caro-
lima. seems to have a wonderful pull
here. if all accounts are true. He was
very we'll known in his own State before
he accepted an official position under
the present administration, but very |
lev people who made his acquaintance
after he first settled in Washington had
anv idea that he was such hustler.
Indeed, they rather looked upon HIM
at the Interior Department as a sort OF
green "Tar-Heel" Shortly after arriv-
ing here he was made appointment
clerk of the Interior Department, and
he was so quiet that he struck the
average Republican hold-over as being
mighty nice and easy one to get along
with. But Mr.. Daniel was not as quiet
as they thought. He fairly made things
hum, and so valuable person was be
to Secretary Hoke Smith that he soon
had him transferred to even a better
position in his department. lie Is now,
and has been for many months, the
chief clerk of the department. There
| is better pay IN it, and the duties give
| Mr.. Daniels larger scope for his work
He is power IN the department, and
it is said that the Secretary thinks
worlds of him. Secretary Smith is OF
North Carolina ancestry. The HOkes
and the Smiths are more numerous IN
North Carolina than they are in Geor-
gia, and feeling of friendship for
Daniels was but natural.
There was some talk Of making Mr..
Daniels Public Printer, and it is believed
that Secretary Smith favored it, How
ever the old Public Printer, Mr.. Bene
dict, was appointed, but Mr.. Daniels
appears to have great deal OF influence
also with that official, who has so many
positions at his disposal, and who is not
hampered by civil-service regulations
And the surprising statement Is made
that Mr.. Daniels has been able to pu
more people into the GOyernmen
Printing Office than any two Senator
or Representatives from North Carolina
1t is actually stated on what seems to b.
good authority that on the list whicl
the Public Printer keeps of his appoint
2 ments, the credit for large number i
given to Josephus Daniels.
Some people may not like this, bu
generally speaking, there is very grea
admiration here for this young Nort]
Carolinian, who has managed to do
much, and II is freely predicted by man
of his ardent friends and admirers tina
= If ever Mr. Cleveland is President agall
Q or if the latter has any influence wit
Il tho next man who. is President, NJ
Daniels will haye a position IN tn
government that will simply make tn
balance of tie North Carolina Dem'
Gratis green with envy.
These same friends of Mr. DAME
insist there is nothing narrow or seltls
about him. He not only has done we
himself but he has put IN some splend
Iicks for his friends, and he has gone
heavy for North Carolinians. The
contend that a man who thus sticks L
for his friends is bound to succeed, al
thev look forward to the time when
will get up many notches higher hlr
sell in the service of his country.

At Blue Island u quiet holiday was

Probably the Pacific coast presents
the strike in its most turbulent as-

chaos ut Blue Island.
At Sacramento the strikers are In
control of everything and blood may
flow freely within the next twenty
four hours. The men are IN fight
ing mood and are all we'll provided
with arms and ammunition.
The latest advices from sacramento
are to the effect that tbs strikers are
quict, hut still defiant and determined
to allow no Pullman car tn leave the
city. A strange feature Of the trouble
there Is the attitude Of the mil tia
from another part Of the state.
The state troop, wcrc marched to
the depot and their presence incensed
the strikers TO the point OF riot ana
the troops were ordered to charge the
strikers hut not to shoot or use the
bayonet and they fatty refused to
obey the order and marched back to
the armory. One Of the companies
actually supplied the strikers with
