PAIRING TO HAVE JOY IN THE

Mr.. F. B. D0RAN'S FRIENDS
BEGIN TO CALL AROUND TO PRE-
VENT HIS FORGETTING

What RumOr Says In Connectiop
With Some of Those TO BE
Distributed.

Tonight Frank B. Doran. mayor-elect, viii
be the star at the jolliflcation meeting at his
home in the Sixth ward, 201 East Congress
street. After the jollifcation. or ratification.
his troubles will begin. Only the Republican
campaign committee and a few OF the prin-
cipal workers will be present TO assist In ths
celebration at Mr.. Dorans home.
When the surprise created by the Republican
sweep had somewhat worn OF yesterday the
party workers who have cherished ambitions
to hold public Office gathered SO thickly on
the trail OF the mayor elect that he hardly had
time to see where his private business stood
AS soon as the result was decided beyond
doubt the Republican workers began to lay
plans to secure this, that or the other position.
Ed Bean and C. NJ. Weber, chief OF the To-
cal Pinkerton agency, are the candidates
most prominently mentioned to succeed Chief
Clark in command of the police force
John Harris would rather have q position
under George N. Warren, who Is to be d.
rector OF public works after the installation Of
the new council, than be chief OF detectives.
1t is generally understood, however, that War
rem and Harris can have anything they want
from the new mayor The Dispatch last night
confirmed the o be- s analysis OF War
ren's ambition In these paragraphs:
1t develops from a reading OF the provls-
ions OF the law, that the wiping out OF the
board OF public works originates with the
council, which is empowered To direct the
mayor TO abolish the body.
The gentleman most talked OF for the po-
sition or commissioner of the board is George
Warren who did such splendid service for
Mr.. Doran and the whole Republican u .ket.
Willis W. Williams, Fred s. Bryant and
Percy Godfrey are mentioned for the lfiics
OF private secretary to the mayor. Mr.. VIII
Jams is a reporter on the Pioneer Press;
Mr.. Bryant is secretary and treasurer OF the
Republican campaign committee, and MIR.
Godfrey is a Sixth ward hustler, who has
helped Doran in his canvass since the start,
two years ago.
A few persons were talking yesterday Of
Joha Copeland for chief of police, but as
Mr.. Copeland has a good position with the
| Great Northern the talk probably means
nothing. Besides the young Republicans OF
| the First ward are going to demand recogni-
tion and they are Understood to be unfriend-
ly to Copeland. John Sandell and r. O.
Wagner are two men they will seek to put
into good appointive positions" Wagner
wants to be license inspector and Sandell O
park commissioner.
Although Corporation Attorney Darragh has
YET year to serve, candidates for his posi-
tion are being talked Of Walter Chaplin,
who defended Scannel's right to be on the
ballot. is looked upon as the most promising
possibility for this place.
The name Of George C. Stevens has been
mentioned In connection with the license in
spectorship.

MILWAUKEE, STRIKE.
Company Ofcials Say That 1t Is
Already Over.


Already Over.
MILWAUKEE,, May 6.-Vice President
Payne, of the street railway company, says
the strike is over, SO far as the company is
concerned. He says they have all the men
, they want, and haye ceased hiring new men.
Mr. Payne announces that the strikers will
not be blacklisted, but that none Of the old
men will beshired unless it Is to fill yacan-
cies that may occur In the future. Sixty
cars were running on the various lines this
morning The number of people who ride
is constantly increasing, and 1t looks as II the
strike will be broken in day or two Both
sides are as determined as ever to win.
The worst disturbance since the outbreak Of
tho strike occurred this noon at the corner OF
Third and Walnut streets. large number OF
brewery employees were out on the street dur
ing the noon hour. One of them stopped a
moving car and attempted to pull the motor
man off the platform. squad was soon on
the scene, and a pitched battle ensued, in
which clubs were freely used Nobody was
dangerously hurt, however.
The wife of striker threw her two-year-
old child In front of a moving car in order to
block its progress, and the little one was near
ly run over before the green motorman could
stop his car.
The council took up the strike matter at a
special meeting this evening and adopted a
resolution for the appointment Of a commit
tee of five aldermen to act in conjunction with
other committees In an effort to mediate.
Another resolution instructs the city attorney
to take steps to vacate the franchises of the
street railway company unless the officers Of
that company agree to sumbit the questions
at issue between them and their employees to
arbitration.
This evening, for the first time since the
strike began, the police admitted that the
situation was serious. Disturbances continue
to occur in all parts of the city where at
tempts are made to run cars. The new
men are stoned, car windows smashed,
switches plugged and other acts of violence
committed. The crowds are so strong and
scattered in numbers that the police are un-
able to preserve order.

excepted places, which usually are the higher
and more important places in the classified
service. This, it is claimed, will have far
reaching and beneficial results The existence
of any large number of excepted places in any
branch of the classified service is menace to,
and has an evil effect upon the parts of the
service subject to competitive examination, and
does much to nullify the good effects of the
examination. The lower grades will now be
recruited by a still better class of men, who
will be invited by the opportunity of promotion
upon merit.

Cuba over the rumor that the Bermuda has

Henderson,s Bill May Fail.

WASHINGTON, May 6-The bankruptcy
bill is before the senate. 1t is also in danger
of failing OF consideration at this session. If
there is an early adjournment It will hardly
be taken up, as it will probably lead to
long debate It's fate is uncertain. purely
voluntary bill could no doubt pass, and such
a measure may finally be substituted for
the house bill, leaving it to conference
to reconcile the differences between the two
houses.

TowNE NOT SUITED.

Early Adjournment

He Does Not Like the Idea of an
Early Adjournment.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-Representative
Towne is very much put out at the action
of the house in adopting a resolution to adj
journ congress on May s. He said:
II think 1t is outrageous that an adjourn
ment should be taken at such an early date,
with SO many measures of Importance which
are clamoring for consideration. 1t is all
very well for members to look after their
fences, but there are more important things
to be considered than this. The whole legis-
lative machinery is now run with reference
to the appropriation bills only. Let them
pass and every one wants to get away.
Members are here for something else than
that, however, and should remain until
all business can be disposed Of"
Speaking Of tbs probable fate of the river
and harbor bill, Mr.. Towne said he did not
think congress would adjourn until after
the president had been given the constitu-
tional length of time in which to act upon it.

A FLOATING POSTOFFICE

Uncle Sam has at last decided to have
a floating postoffice in New York harbor
to expedite the handling of the ocean
mall and next year the government at
Washington will equip fast steamer
for the service. The new postoffice
steamer will be the outgrowth of the
experiments begun last August, with
Postmaster Dayton's approval, to eX.
pedite the delivery of foreign mail des
tined for points outside of New York
city. The proposition to establish such
a service was submitted to the postal
authorities at Washington many weeks
ago. The postmaster has just received
word from Washington that the project
has been indorsed by the postoffice de-
partment, and that a steamer will be,
fitted up upon the plan of one of the
branch postoffices of the city to carry
on the work. The steamer will be
manned by clerks, who will sort the mail.
pack it in bags while the postal steamer
is on its way from quarantine to this
city. and have it ready for delivery to
mail wagons on arrival in the city. The
new steamer will be ready al all times
to answer the call of the railway mail
officers. Congress will be asked to make
an appropriation of $40. 900 to carry on
the work.-New York Sun.
