CENSUS employees
NEED NOT FEAR.
NO WHOLESALE DIShISSALS NOW.
Director Merrinm. However. Laments
the Necessity of Keeping so Many
Cierks-Nore Scope Wanted
for the bureau.

The 3.900 or more Census Office clerks,
who for some months past have been
anxious regarding wholesale dismissals
from that. office, owing to the completion
Of the work mapped ont for that branch of
the Government service. may reassure
themselves, as there is no danger of fur
ther discharges .tefore the first Of the
year.
This reassuring statement is made by
Director Merriam himself, in his last re-
port just made public Referring to the
work of the census, the Director adds
with some emphasis that his department
has experienced considerable delay be-
cause of the absences of employees. from
either illness orsaunual leave.
Regarding the aropping of large num-
Der of the small army of clerks, about
which rumors hdve been increasing dur
ing the last several months. Director
Merriam states tiiat it had been hoped by
the lst OF November number CT tire
clerks now employed could be dropped.
Put he adds. 'inasmuch as the work
has been retarded. owing to the difficulty
of maintaining the clerical force at its
maximum. 1t is not likely that. there VIII
be any material reduction until after the
frst of the year
Frauds Quickly Punished.
Touching upon the large number OF
agents. nearly 5000 in ALL employed in
field work, the Director SAYS that It was
hardly to be expected out of the large
number of agents employed in such work
that there would not be some one who
would prove incompetent and unfaithful
to duty. The Director of the Census then
gives a somewhat lengthy statement,
showing the Yario IS prosecutions conduct
ed by his office during the past year upon
cnumerators who violated the Census Act.
In this connection considerable space IS
devoted to discussing the cases of Ste
phen a. Abel, a former WashingtoS po-
iceman. who was arrested on charge of
padding the census reports: Charles II.
Guyther, Philip r. Graves, Daniel ].
Bowles. and Joseph II. Ching, an attorney
at law. All Of these men Were assigned
to taking the census of 81 Mary Coun-
ing made fraudulent returns by placing
on the schedule fictitious nameS-those OF
persons who had died prior to taking the
census or who We're non-residents.
More scope Wanted.
In concluding his report Mr.. Merriam
asks that the scope of the work of the
Census be enlarged and that the Direct
or's power he extended more than it is at
present. The Director accompanies his
report with ii tabulated stat ement show
ing the Census Office expenditures during
the past year and also encloses an eSti-
mate of the appropriations required for
census purposes for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1852, which he places at about
Sl,gI21 120.

THE WAR OFFICE FROM
PRETORIA
SOME SHARP ENGAGEMENTS
Trainload of Troops and Supplies
Was Captured Friday, but
Beers Have Since
Retreated.

LONDON, Jan. 27.-The war office has
received from the commander-in-chief in
South Africa dispatch dated Pretoria,
Jan. 26, reporting numerous engagements,
the following being the most important:
Cunningham was engaged at Middle
fontein and Kopperfontein yesterday
with Delarey's force. Babbington, while
moving north from Ventersdorp, threat
ened the enemy's flank, whereupon the
Beers retired west. Cunningham's cas-
ualties were two officers wounded four
men killed and thirty-seven wounded.
In the engagement at Lichenburg,
Jan. II, some yeomanry were captured.
These have since been released, with the
exception of major and three men. No
details are yet at hand,
Smith Dorrien had successful engage
ment of five hours while on the march
from Wonderfontein to Carolina, where
the Beers had lately been concentrating.
The enemy were in considerable strength
and held the river, but were driven out.
Our losses were one officer killed and two
officers and thirteen men wounded"
Lord Kitchener confirms the report that
a British train with troops and military
stores on board was waylaid and cap
tured at SHjpklijp, near Fourteen
Streams, last Friday, but says the Beers
retired on the arrival of the armored
train sent in pursuit.

COAL MINERS ARE RESTLESS.
New Wage Scale May BE Demanded
nv Anthracite Men.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Jan. N.-The an
thracite coal operators and miners or
this section were much stirred up today
by the reports sent out from Indianapolis
that the United Mine Workers now hold
ing their national convention in that city
had decided to invite the operators of
the anthracite region to meet their mi
ners in conference and decioe upon new
wage scale, which would call for an ad-

Many think that this is a forerunner
of another strike in the hard coal re-

will not consent to meet the miners in

to bring about lockout.

the miners organization was unknown
to the operators. Now they are well
aware that the men in the anthracite
region are just as well organized as the
miners in the i;ituminous region, and
that it would be useless for them to pro-

A representative of a big coal company
said:
II do not believe the operators will
ever consent to meet the miners in con-

last fall and the operators won. The
miners got an increase of wages, but the
union was not recognized, although Pres

LA GASCOGNE In A GALE
FRENCH LINER HAD A BAD SCARE
LAST TRIP.

NEW YORK, Jan. Z-The French liner
La Gascogne arrived in port today with
two Of her lifeboats smashed, the rails
on her starboard quarter twisted and
broken, and her 400 steerage passengers
not yet recovered from the fright ocea-
stoned by the battering the ship received
from two terrific seas. The saloon pas
sengers suffered moment of terror that
will cause them to remember the voyage.
La Gascogne had not been headed vest
ward many hours when she encountered
gales from many points of the compass
which lasted for thirty-tive hours.
A great sea swept across the liner Fri
day morning shortly before o'clock,
when sea swept across the port side
forward. Life Boat No. II was caught
by the wave and the boat tackle of the
davits was snapped
The following day a second storm
arose. A heavy sea struck the ship on
the starboard, wrecking Lifeboat No. 9,
and knocking a hole about four feet
square through the turtle deck. The wa
ter poured down through this on to the
spar deck, making a fearful roar and
driving the steerage passengers almost
frantic. Shortly afterwards the storm
ahated and La Gascogne had smooth sail
ing into port.
