He states that a Settlement by the installment plan will be acceptable.

INDIANA DEMOCRATS DEMANDING A CHANGE IN THAT STATE—THE SAME FEELING IN OTHER STATES. Senator Voorhees and all the democrats from Indiana in the next Honse waited upon the President to-day to urge upon him the neces sity of an immediate change in the revenue collectors for that state. They want all the present incumbents swept out at once and democrats put in their places, and do not pro- pose to rest until this ts done. "They placed the case befdre the President about as strongly as they could, but came away greatly dissatisfied because they had not succeeded in getting any assurances. The democrats in all the states are uniting in making war upon the reve- nue collectors, and are very importunate in their demands for immediate changes. The democrats in the south and all through the Whisky regions are particularly importunate. ‘They say that the present collectors have been in every way offensive, and that as they are not protected by the civil service or tenure of office law they should be removed at once. The Indianans are very warm over the Prest- dent’s seeming disregard for the demands. —— oe Fighting for 9 Collectorship. WEST VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS WANT MCGRAW ‘TO SUCCEED MC CORMICK. ‘The West Virginians are having a bitter fight over the collector of internal revenue in that state. The Democrats are urging the President to appoint McGraw, whose name was hung up in the Senate, and oust McCormick, the present incumbent, who was appointed by Mr. Arthur about nine months ago, The cuse was made atest casein the Senafe, and the Presi- dent's nomination laid aside ‘without action, McCormick is now fighting McGraw with ali his might, and is said to be getting up charges to show that he is not 8 ft person to be appoint ed. Among the charges is one that he is an offensive partisan, and ought not to be appoint- ed to succeed a man with a soldier record. Mo- Graw is supported by the entire democratic delegation of the state, and when his namo was sent to the Senate it met with the approval of all the democrats there. McCormick is holdin, onto the place like grim death, insisting thai the President has no right to remove him, and the case becomes very Interesting as a test of the right of the President to remove internal revenue officers who have no tenure of office nd are out from under the shelter of the civil rvice law. Mr. MeGraw's friends think he will be commissioned very soon. In that case {he fight will come up again In the Senate when mee! —___+e+___ The Orifice Seekers After Secretary Manning. THEY ARE HUNGRY AND CLAMOROUS, Secretary Manning is at present coming in for a pretty good share of criticism at the hands of the “orifice seekers.” Some of his party as- sociates, who have been waiting for weeks to procure changes in the custom houses and rev- enue service of their respective states, are say- ing that he does readily for New York what he hesitates to do for other sections of the country. It is charged that New York gets what she wants, while other states are put off and kept Waiting. It was stated in political circles to-da that in response to the refusal of Revenue Col- lector Craig, of Virginia, to resign, and his de- mand to know upon what authority his resig- pation was demanded, Secretary Manning had written, saving he thought Craig wanted to re- sign, and giving that as the reason for calling upon him to step down and out. This was seized upon by the Secretary's critics, who pitched into him for not giving Craig notice to quitatonce. “If” said a democrat, “the ad- ministration ts to be bullyragged by every re- publican who does not want to give up his office, I think we had better all go home and stay there.” Such sentiments do not proceed altogether either from applicants for office, Men of high station in the democratic party utter them, but they are not willing to be quoted for fear buch utterances might be remembered against them. But if Secretary Manning could hear all that is being saig about him by his party friends his ears wold tingle for 8 good while. The Powell W Contest, THE ADMIRAL'S MIND CLEAR UPTO ASHORT ‘TIME BEFORE HIS DEATH, The trial of the contested will case of Admiral Powell—Colmesnil agt.

Two witnesses who had before the grand Jury without the knowledge of Mr. Wells, the Special counsel, Mr. Corkill sald were sum- moned by thegrand jury on their own motion. Mr. Corkhill said he nothing to do with the case at all except to sign the indictment; that the matter was taken out of his hands by the Attorney General. He said be knew very little of the case. Upon redirect examination it trans- ired that F. H. Fall had shown the witness a letter signed by Brewster Cameron appointing him as anemploye of the Department of Jus- tice. “Mr, Smith wanted to: show that Fall had stated to Mr. Corkhill that he was employed to shadow the star route jury and report to Brew- ster Cameron, but Judge MacArthur would not admit thextestimony. ‘Mr. Chas. 8.

Mr. Dickson then protested against these papers belng soht to the Department of Justice to be inspected by the persons whom he charged with crime, ‘Mr. Moore before leaving the stand made are- mark to the effect that he had labored earnestly in these prosecutions without a fee of $5,000. The district attorney remarked that he was now ina sition where he sees fees, re- marking that Mr. Moore was one of the counsel of Mr, Dickson. To this Mr. Moore retorted that it was suf- ficient compensation to him to be able to ex- pose in this way the conduct of certain people. ‘The witness also declared emphatically his be Nef in Diekson as an honest and honorable man, and said it was his duty to investigate charges made by such a citizen. LAWYER SMITH EXAMINED. Mr, C. M.

When he applied to tl clerk of the Police Court for the warrant the clerk was very re- luctant and hesitated. The witness said he knew that the clerk was under pressure from the Department of Justice, “Mr. Dickson,” he said, “has never lost an op- portunity to bring these men to justice.” “And will continue to do so,” remarked Mr. Dickson.

The witness said’ that he found it. very ‘expensive thing to go about with Dickson, and applied to Brewster Came- ron tohave his expenses pald, but Mr. Game- ron refused. He said in the early part of the trial he overheard Dickson say that he would not be surprised if some day Judge Wylie “chucked” the whole case out of court, and re- ported that to Cameron, He said he had not reported what he had said in testimony here to counsel for the government, because he was afraid of losing his. ition. had told the Attorney General about It. ‘MR, DICKSON’S GOOD CHARACTER. ‘Messrs. M. G, Emery, Samuel Norment, Frank Hume, John E. Norris, R.S. Davis and Law- rence Gardner testified to Mr. Dickson's good reputation. JUDGE WYLTE A WITwEss. After the noon recess Hon. Andrew Wylie, the judge who presided at the star route trials, was called to the stand. Judge Wylle said that he remembered one morning during the first star route trial belng met in the court b: Ms Diskson. Mr Dickson produced. @ | card with the name wen upon. it, containing some which Mr. Dickson interpreted as an invitation for him to meet Bowen at Driver's that evening. Mr. Dickson gave the Witness an explanation which gave the witness the idea that Dickson had been approached. He asked the witness’ advice as to what be should do— whether he should lead on the man or not. The witness advised him not to degrade himself by such a thing. He did not remember having told Dickson to caution other members of the Jury. About the same time two members of the jury had called at witness’ houseand made ‘complaints to him. Upon cross-examination Judge Wylle sald that he thought that Dickson had told him that he suspected Bowen had some ‘connection with some one in the employ of the government, ‘The crogs-examination of the witness Ken- nedy was then continued. Mr. Brewster’s Denials. Ex-Attorney General Brewster said to a Phil- delphia Press interviewer last evening, In refer- ence to the testimony given in the Dickson trial yesterday by ex-Marshal Henry: “It is a pre- posterous lie that I ever authorized Mr. Came- ron to make any such proposition to Henry as the latter says he did, and I believe *t tobea lie that Mr. Cameron ever made them on his own authority.
