As this was a holiday for the Interior department clerks, quite a number of his friends saw him off.

In conversation with some friends on the subject of the letter of ex-Gov. Carroll with re gard tohis appointment, Appointment Clerk Higgins remarked: “Well, the trouble between ex-Gov. Carroll and myself has always been that we never could agree. Now, after the election of 1875 I insisted that he was elected, but: he wouldn’t believe it, and never did. Hé went into the office, however, and served his term, though never belleving that he was en- titled to it.” A Reform at the White House. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND DOES AWAY WITH AN OLD custom. It has always been the custom to summon at- tendants from one portion of the White House to another by the clapping of hands, after the manner of the orlentals. This was rendered necessary by the absence of the familiar electric bells, particularly connecting the private part of the house with the offices. The custom has often led toconfusion, President Arthur would stand in the middle of the blue room, and by clapping his bands he would summon’ attend- ants from every direction. It 1s understood that during the first vistt of President Cleve- land to the White House Mr. Arthur explained tohim the custom referred to. While appre- clating its oddity, the new President evidently thought It could’ be improved upon. Conse- quently workmen are engaged in putting a sys- tem of electric bel!s and annunciators through- out the building, and the hand clapping will soon bea thing of the past. It will be # good while before the older attendants can break: themselves of the other habit and confine them- selves to bell rin ee New Army Medical Musenm Building. The first meeting of the commission to select a site for a building for the records, library and museum of the army medical department, for which Congress has appropriated $200,000, was held yesterday. This commission 1s composed of the Secretary of War, the architect of the Capitol and the secretary of the Smithsonian institution. The plans for the building had been prepared for some timo, and, as they con- templated an appropriation’ of $300,000. the first thing in order was to have them modified 80.as to come within the sum of $200,000. This was ordered done. The building will be two story and besement, arranged to accommodate below the working force engaged on the medi- eal record ofthe Surgeon general’s office, and the upper rooms will be large und adapted to the Iurary connected with the surgeon gers eral’s office and the medical museum. The site practically agreed upon is at the southeast cor her of the Smithsonian reservation and im- mediately at the corner of 7th and south B streets. ————-~+e+_____ ‘The Indianapolis Post Office.

THE POSTMASTERS NOMINATED YESTERDAY SAID TO BE THE CHOICE OF DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVES, ‘The President’s post office appointments are said to have all been made in strict accordance with party usage, the democratic representa- tives having been allowed to name the post masters for the offices in their districts, This, as far as it goes, meets with the approval of the members, who express satisfaction at it, their only complaint being that the changes will not bemade fast enough. Mr, Cleveland's policy, it is understood, will be as arule not to ‘alt ant of the post offices with democrats until the terms of the present incumbents expire. As fast as this occurs, he will allow the members the privilege of filling the vacancies. There are quite a number of these offices that are now va- cant, or will become so from time to. tyme ‘soon, and this will serve as “short rations” to keep the hungry ones alive until matters get better settled or the politicians become satisfied that they have to go hungry, An old democrat declared to a STAR reporter to-day that the democratic party, besides’ ‘being Tesponsible far the present civil service law, had always had w strong clvil service reform element in it, and thatit bad been only after Anew republican President had been elected that sweeping changes were made among the clerks. In support of hisstatement hecited the fact that, when the democrats defeated the Whigs, and Franklin lerce went into the Whité Honse, he made no important appoint- ments until June, and, in fact, very few changes aueie his entire administration. The department clerks were not disturbed at all. The clerks suffered more when Gen. Grant took hold than ever before, and at each change of administration under the republican rule there have been many more changes than the demo- crats made on coming into power at any time. ‘tee. Anglo-Rassian Relations. MORE INDICATIONS THAT WAR IS LIABLE TO occur. European dispatches continue to indicate an increasing probability of war between England and Russia. The British cabinet held a special ‘session yesterday on the Afghan difficulty. It was resolved to firmly demand of Russia that she commence forthwith the work of delimita- ting the Afghan frontier, in accordance with the understanding under which Sir Peter Lums- den and the British surveying party have assed SO many months in the Ameer's domin- ions. All the officers belonging to the British Indian army, now in Burope on furlough, have been ordered to Immediately rejoin their re- spective regiments. The cabinet also considered dispatches from Earl Dufferin, forwarding the demand of the Ameer of Afghanistan for an immediate war graut, and rumors that the Ameer had received overtures from Russia, of- fering favorable terms for an alliance, eo cabinet decided to intrust Earl Dufferin with plenary power to arrange terms with the Ameer. ———_+e+____ ‘The Raid on the Contingent Fund. MR. SHERMAN'S EFFORT TO CALL A HALT—COM- MITIFES THAT HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED TO SIT DURING THE RECESS—OTHER “JUNKET- ING” RESOLUTIONS PENDING, ETC. The raid of Senators on the contingent fand, by means of resolutions ordering various in- quirles and expeditions for the coming recess, is of no small proportions, The question is ag- itating the republican majority of the Senate, ‘and in the caucus some pretty strong language has been used tocondemn the practice ofget= ting through “junketing resolutions.” The number of resolutions providing for recess trips, wita clerks, stenographers, etc., has gone beyond any previous session. One by one these resolutions were passed, until the Senate ‘was confronted with the fact that it would have to provide a very large contingent fund to meet the demand upon it. As each day brought one or more new propositions of this character, some of the republican Senators began to think seriously that It was high time to puta stop to the ee Finally, when ‘one dozen commit- tees had been authorized to inquire into some thing, or compile something during some of them with authority to travel, and sev- eral additional propositions of a similar nature were presented, some of the Senators of the majority could stand It no longer. They decided to boldly oppose such proceedings, and Mr, Sherman submitted his resolution to rescind authority granted to various committees for recess work. In the caucus some of the Senators: who have procured the poe’, of resolutions for recess com mittee work defended theiraction on the ground that such work is necessary. The Senators who support, the Sherman resdliation take the ground that they do not object to use- ful or necessary work, but that their purpose is to prevent waste of money in idle junketings, as such waste would bring reproach upon the jority. fp to the present the following committees have been granted power to meet di recess and to employ clerks, sten other assistants: Agriculture and , cation and labor, public buildings and grounds, ‘Mississippi river, naval ‘affairs, Indian transportation routes to the ‘seaboard, sel committee on interstate commerce, rules, priv- Sleges and elections, on steel producing works and the printing committee, This isa list of twelve, but of that number it can be statedthat it is usual for the printing committee to meet during the recess of to open bids, et and such meetings do not entail any ranaitional cost to. thé, government.

Democrats Who Want Mr. Cleveland to Harry Republican Officials Out—Sus- [cesar That “Mugwamp” Counsels val A democratic member of Congress has figured the thing ont, and says that at the present rate it-would take Cieveland just sixty years to clean the republicans out of the government service. The result is not at all satistactory to the politicians and office seekers. They say that Cleveland’s civil service policy may give him some national popularity,—and may be that is what he wants,—but that it will play the mischief with the democratic party.. The dis- regard of congressional influence is most talked of, but in the midst of much grumbling, there sre many favorable comments upon Cleve- — one in this respect.

Office seekers have be- Gun to accept this situation, and say they look upon the endorsements of delegations as inju- fous to their chances, leveland, th Heve, is resisting oreo tte such’ pressure as a ‘matter of Principle. The result of this they say will be much kicking, but that if the republicans are eearely, turned out of the offices and demo- crats put in their places all will b: well. But— and here they begin to get serlous—but if Cleve- land persists in keeping republicans in under the elvil gervice law there will be trouble, The democrats who do the work will kick vory hard, ‘the House will be at variance with the Presi- dent, and the party wili be disrupted. The poli- ticlans say they will be slow to come to the con- clusion that Cleveland will stick to this; that he 1gasnrewd man and may think it wise to go but_ finally to get the ins outand the Oute’in. If this ts true though, they say, he will have to go Uttle faster than he is now. The most discouraging act of the Presi- dent since his inauguration, they say, was that of providing other places for the clerks dis charged from the White House. In this he went far beyond the requirement of the civil service rules, and indicated that he was really a “mu; wump.” They say, too, that his cabinet h: Much ‘more of (a “mugwump” favor than ‘appears at first sight. Whitney has a tendency that way, Endicott is a civil service reformer, Bayard has shown himself to be of the same faith, and is sald to have declared that the republican consuls are not to be recalled; and even Garland and Lamar have committed themselves to the Pendletonian doctrine by reassuring the trembling clerks. All this they regard as boding ill for the democrats who are out In the cold, but wey, say they will keep still as long as they’ can, and if they do have to repu- diate the administration it will not be until things have gone so far that they cannot be corrected. Then they don’t know what would follow. Cleveland would either go out like Andy Johnson, or if the reform element proved Feats S they would re-elect him and break up both the other parties. Society.

YOUNG CLUVERIUS, THE SUPPOSED MURDERER OF MISS MADISON, NOT A GRANDSON OF WAT TYLER—A LITTLE SCRAP OF FAMILY HISTORY, Dispatches sent from Richmond giving ac- counts of diseoverics made there in regard to the murder of Miss Madison, have stated that young Cluverius, who is held for the murder, ‘was the grandson of President Tyler's brother, Wat Tyler. The daughter of Wat Tyler, the dispatches referred to, of which a summary was printed in Tuesday's ‘Srak, made what was re- garded as a mesaliiance, by marrying her futher's overseer, @ man named Cluverius, who was the father of the prisoner now in the Richmond jail.

He salle attention tothe statement made by Mr. dison, the father of the murdered gitl, in the Richmond police court, that “his. pangaiee and Cluverius were distantly related.

His name was Cluverius. “Hy his second wife, the daughter of Dr. Wat Henry Tyler,” Mr. Tyler continues, “he had only one child before his death, a boy, named Wat Tyler Claverius, That boy at an éarly age moved to the elty of New Orleans and engaged in ‘bust. ness with the extensive firm of kJ.

Phillips, The case of William H. Phillips, indicted for manslaughter in having shot and killed James F. Shober on the afternoon of October 14th last near the corner of 10th and D streets, came to trial in the Criminal Court to-day.

Theshooting occurred when the Streets in front of the newspaper offices were thronged with people seeking news from the Ohio election, and created quite a sensation. Senator Butler, of South Carolina, and Mr. Campbell Carrington appeared for thé prisoner, @ neatly — dressed, looking youn, man of about 26 years; the district attorney at for the government.

He sald that on the night of October 13th Phillips and Shober had adifficulty, and after they were parted the deceased threatened to kill Phillips. ‘hey would claim, he said, that Phillips subse- quently created a difficulty, and that the grand jury had dealt mercifully in this cage in finding ‘an indictment for manslaughter. THE TESTIMONY. Mr. John M. Coyle testified to the correctness of a diagram of the Post building and the adja- cent streets and property. Leon Crutchett, a plumnber, testified that he saw Shober the day of the shooting on the 10th street front of Lewis Johnson & Co.'s bank a little after two o'clock. Bray, Moore, McGill and others were standing there. After some reference had been made W the difficulty be- tween Phillips and Shober the night before, Shober said he would get even, end Bray said he was a d—d fool if he didn’t even. Sho- ber then spoke of writing a note to Phillips, and returning, said that Maloney would not take it up and he got a bootblack to doit. Witness thought that they would settle it by a fst ght. Afterwards he saw Phillips comi across the street with a man named Lacy and approached hober, Moore, or “Skeesicks,” following him. Phillips, when about the center of D street, saw Shober.’ The latter came towards him, beckon- ing. Warding off Shober, Phillips drew the pis- tol from his ints pocket and fired, at a dis- tance of only five or six feet, Shober then ran and Phillips ran after him. Witness grabbed Phillips immediately after Boss grabbed him. and said it was a cowardly act. Shober, when shot, put his hand to his heart and ran, Dew F. Hartigan testified as to the wound, and Dr. D, H. Wright as to the death of Shober. Sergeant Robert Jobnson, who conveyed Shober to the Emergency hospital testified that he fond no pistol or other weapon on him. Robert Bray testified to the difficulty on the night of the 13th of October. The next day witness met Shober, near Johnson's bank, and the latter told him he would get even ‘with Phillips if he had to hang for {tor serve two years in the jail. Witness told him as they were about evenly matched they ought to have itout. He then said, “That is what Pil do,” and he wrote the note to Phillips which he sent by aboot black. Witness afterwards went in the office for bis cults, and Phillips appeared worried. He asked witness where “his Jags” was, meaning Shober, and witness said he was at the corner. Some one roposed to xo to Hoy’s, and Phillips, Maloney, ¥, Moore and witness started.’ Witness heard nothing of a pistol. They went down stairs, and Lacy proposed to go to the other side of the street, but they kept in the middle of the street, Some one said, “There's Shober there, now;” but Phillips made no response. Shober was leaning against the lamp post,looking west. They then went on, and ober called, “Phil- lips, I want to talk to you Phillips‘responded, “f don’t want to see you,” and motioned him off. Phillips then drew the pistol and fired,ans Shober threw up his hand and called, “0! and ran, Phillips after him, firing four other shots. Phillips on his way to the station house said he thought he had struck Shober twice. This was in answer to witness’ question, for he did not know then that Shober had been shot, As Shober approached, Phillips said, “Go back; I don’t want anything to do with you.” Edward W. Boss testified to having arrested EE ee as he was firing the last shot. Dr, Jolin Waiter testified to the wounds and death of the deceased. John M. Richards, foreman of the composing room of the Post, testified thaton the night of the 13th saw Shober on the floor and Phillips Was over him; witness raised Mr. Shober and the latter said, with a motion of his hands, “Til kill you for this.” E.
