VARIOUS REASONS WHY APPRALS ARE NOT RE- SPONDED TO, The Virginia finance committee “appointed by the Virginia democratic association in this city to collect funds for the campaign in that State has not met with much success yet in collecting from District democrats. The Dis- trict democrats answer all appeals by saying that they can’t afford to contribute; thet they gave all they could to the Presidential oam- ‘The indications are that there will not be much money go out of Washington this fall for campaign pu: for either party. The gov- ernment clerks, it is claimed, are making no gontributions. Politicians from New York and Virginia say it ts very difficult to get contribu- tons within the states, the same feeling exist- ing there on account of the failure of the admin- istration to harken to all their appeals for pat~ Tonage. It is said to have been decided that no more appointments are to be made in Ohio, Vir- inia and New York until after the fall elec- ‘ions, as it is thought that they would do more harm than good at this time, polars thems, The Office-seekers’ Little Game. HOW THEY TRY “THE FLEMING RACKET” AT ‘THE WHITE HOUSE. The President's recent letter to the friends of Judge Fleming, in which he wrote that he was so pleased with the demeanor of the judge when dented an office for which he had applied that he (the President) subsequently sent for him and tenderea him the judgeship, has been a matter of serious consideration, itseems, among the numerous applicants for office. In the let- ter the President very plainly ‘ntimated his distate for what are Known as “kickers.” He wrote that the manly, dignified bearing of Mr. Fleming, who did not consider that the demo- cratic party’ was disrupted because he was de- nied o1 1 SO peed him that he subse- juently sent for Fleming and voluntarily of red him the judgeship, The letter is safd to nave had @ very quieting effect upon the nu- merous pyeticens for office and to have toned down their expressions wonderfully. “Why, said a frequent visitor to the White House to STAR reporter to-day, “you never saw such complacency as now prevails among office- seekers. Some of them actually try tomake the President feel that in denying them ap- pointmests he conters the greatest possible ta- vor. The fellows who are ready to take any- thing are working hard to play the ‘Fleming racket’ on the President, But I guess he sees through the game.” See Two Discomfited Office Seekers. HOW SECRETARY LAMAR DISCOURAGED A YOUNG MAN WHO WANTED TO DISPLACE A FEMALE TELEGRAPH OPERATOR. A good story {s afloat about the efforts of a couple of well-known young telegraph opera- tors to secure positions In the government ser- vice. There are three ladies who are employed as telegraph operators in the departments—one in the Interior department, onein the Treasury department, and one in the Navy department, and all are understood to be thoroughly effi clent operators. One of these has influential connections, and is Sapusees: ‘to be unassailable in her office. Of the others, one is a widow, and the other sa young lady making her own way In life. These two were thought to be triendless and easily displaced. ‘The young men referred to therefore set long- ing eyes on their positions and proceeded to secure the necessary influence to supplant them. Armed with a goodly supply of recom- mendations number one called upon Secretary Lamar, The Secretary did not reply to the strongly backed application, put Instead rang his bell and asked for the ‘lady employed as operator in his department, ‘he Secretary looked over some papers until her arrival, and then turning to her said, “Miss intend resigning your position?” “No, sir,” replied the lady. “Is your work 80 heavy that you require an assistant?” again asked the Secretary. “No, sir,” was the reply, “I have no difculty In attending to my work alone.” “I don’t exactly understand what position you want,” said the Secretary, turning to the young man; “do you want to get this lady's place by having her dismissed?” ‘The young man had become very much em- barrassed before this, and, after murabling s mething about understanding changes were to be made, was gladto beat a hasty retreat. ‘The other office-seeker had directed his efforts farther up-town and had commenced the cam- n by fling his papers Inone of the other rtments, His brother operators learning of his intention cried “shame,” and this, to- gether with the treatment received by his com- panion, induced him to withdraw his appiica- tion without taking any further steps, ——— 200 A Stranded Office Seeker. A COLLECTION TAKEN UP TO SEND HIM HOME, Two or three persons interested themselves last night in taking up a collection for an indi- vidual who has been hanging around Washing- ton ever since the inauguration of President Cleveland. He was about 70 years old and claimed to be a descendant of one of the most distinguished southern generals in the war of the revolution. The man wore clothes of an cid-fashioned continental cut, and eontinually smoked an old briarwood pipe. He was so per sistent in his demand tor the Spanish mission that he was excluded from the State depart- ment and the White House, He never gave up hope until the appointment of Mr. © ry, of Virginia, was officially announced. Then ‘he expressed # desire to return home, and some of the democrats about Washington made up a purse for him. He has returned south. ———— Mr. Randall Not in Bad Health. READY FOR CONGRESSIONAL WORK—THE PRESI DENT AND THE PENNSYLVANIA OFFICES, A confidential friend of ex-Speaker Randall said toa STAR reporter to-day: “The repgrt that Mr. Randall is in bad health again is incorrect. His health is very good, and he will be ready fora hard winter's work in the coming Congress, No, he is not here to attend the conference of Pennsylvania congress- men with regard to the distribution of certain patronage because his presence is not neces- Sury. Asa rule the democratic congressmen of Pennsylvania have agreed upon the men they wanted appointed to federai positions, and they have had no trouble about appointments. The President has been Nery kind to Mr. Randall a col sues, and has, ink, apprec! ted the fuct that they have endeavored to re. Heve him by recommending ouly fit men for office.

CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS WHO OPPOSE IT—THE PROJECT OF PORTIONING OUT THE APPRO- PRIATIONS TO VARIOUS COMMITTEES NOT LIKELY TO BE ADOPTED. ‘The question of changing the rules of the House of Representatives is one that is fre- quently discussed among members, Complaint against the existing rules has been growing louder and more determined for several years. Some of the ablest members of the House have publicly declared that the rules operate 80 as to obstruct, rather than facilitate, business, Ass general thing the older members, those who have served longest, are inclined to be very conservative in the matter of changing the rules, They maintain that the result of a code of rales which would enable every member to get through his pet bills would inevitably be an excess of legislation. It is a well known fact that nearly every member of Congress has one or more measures in which he feels a 8) in- terest. Frequently these measures relate solely te the interest ot the district, or some part of the distzict, which the member represents. The committee on rales is generally composed ofthe most experienced members of the two political parties ia the House, and its record is ution in endeavor! rovide ‘against too muoh legislation. THE APPROPRIATION BILLS. One of the phases of this subject which mem- bera of the noxt House are taking interest in relates to the appropriation bills, It is claimed that these bills should be pushed along with greater facility, and not be permitted to mo- nopolize the closing days of a session. One plan suggested 1s a rule that will require the committee on appropriations to report one ap- Propriation bill within a given time after the meeting of Congress, and to follow on with the other regular appropriation bills, say in ten or twenty days of each other, successively. Another suggestion has been made tothe effect, that the appropriation bills be allotted to the several committees which are entrusted with legislative powers relating to the interests which these bills respectively involve; that the naval committee shall have charge of the naval Dili, the military committee of the army bill, the District committee ot the District bill, and soon through the list. ‘This plan of porfecting the appropriation bilis is not a new one; it has been urged in both houses of Congress, ‘but has never found any great degree of favor. WHAT AN EXPERIENCED COMMITTEE CLERK es Mr. Courts, the clerk of the House committee ‘on appropriations, and whoue experience covers @ number of years, in conversation with a STAR reporter to-day, expressed the opinion that this, plan would not work well. He said that it would make twelve appropriation committees Instead of one, and as each committee might conclude, for reasons deemed sufficient to delay reporting its respective bill, the result might be to throw them all upon the House in the last days of the session instead of putting them through more promptly, "He defined the com- mittees outside of that on appropriations as “legislative committees,” and sald that their duties are to attend to the needs of the various branches of public service in the way of legis- lation. That, for instance, the naval affairs committee should prepare and report all the legislation n to Improve and beneflt the navy and its organization, while the mili- tary committee should do the same for the army. Mr. Courts thinks, that should the duties of making up appropeiations be ‘in upon these committees they would ne cessarily have to slight “their | dutics pertaining to legislation, _ Besides, he says there Is nothing now to the committees from thorough! ‘as to the estimates, the needs of any branch of the service, etc., and oftaking an active and Prominent part'in shaping the appropriations after they are reported. ‘The suggestion has been made that the appropriations committee should, by rule, be deprived of the right to re- port any legisidtion; thatit should be restricted the duty of arranging and reporting only the appropriations necessary to carry on the gov- ‘ument, and there {san impression in some quarters that this may be done. The expressions, so tar as they have been ut- tered, upon the scheme to apportion the various appropriation bills out among the several com- mittees and thus strip the appropriations com- mittee of its powers and duties do not seem to augur well for the project. Members even who ‘are opposed to the existing rules and think they ought to be changed so as to make iteasier to enact laws, declare themselves hostile to the plan of dividing up the appropriation bills. It Came from the President. THE ORDER AGAINST PREMATURE PUBLICATION OF OFFICIAL REPORTS, The order to chiefs of bureaus and other gov- ernment officials to withhold from the public their reports and all matter pertaining thereto, comes from President Cleveland himself. He has ordered that nothing shall be made public in any of the departments that will be men- tioned in his report to Congress. The object of this is understood tobe to prevent any state- ments being made or conclusions drawn by the subordinate officials which might be in con- filct with his treatment of the same subject. ‘The idea is to have a democratic face put upon things, and the old officials might make mat ters appear quite different in their way of looking at them. ——— Defying the Lightning. THE ELABORATE WORK GOING ON TO PROTECT THE MONUMENT—TWO HUNDRED POINTS TO GATHER THE ELECTRICITY AND GOLD-PLATED RODS TO CARRY IT OFF, ‘The lightning tod tips and the rods to which they are to be fixed, intended to protect the Washington monument from lightning, have arrived from Philadelphia, where they were made, and are now being placed in position on the roofofthe monument, The construction of scaffolding around the roof was timed so that it would be in readiness when the rods should ar- rive, and there will be no delay In the work ex- cept that caused by bad weather. The appa- ratus constructed in Philadelphia consists of seven hundred and four feet of triangular co} per rods plated with gold, to encircle the roofin the horizontal points; two hundred feet of cir. cular copper rods, also gold plated, to extend along the four corners of the rvof, and one hun- dred and seventy-two lightning rod points. The latter are three fuches long, made of co} rand gold plated, with the exception of a half inch at the end, which is of platinum. ‘These one hun- dred and seventy-two points, together with those erected immediately aiter the monument was struck by lightning, make two hundred points in all, nearly covering the roof of the monument. In the opinion of the eminent scientists who made the recommendations these precautions will protect the monument trom lightning in the future, although it is ple that this unmanageable power may finda way yet open for damaging the structure. ——ee Activity of the aor soe Prehibition- revent either of advising itself The Albany Argus (dem,) says: The prohibi- tlonists intend to double their efforts in this state after the Obicelection.

Mr. U.S. Grant, jr., was seen last night at his farm, four miles from Purdy’s Station, on the Harlem railroad, by a N.Y. Herald reporter. After carefully reading Ward’s statement he shook his head and said: “No, I have nothing further to say about this man. I have already made public my opinion of his character, and I am far from surprised that he should fnsidious- lyehempe to besmirch the name of the ey that he so treacherously ruined. All that have to say I will reserve until the trial next month. Should Ward escape a felon’s fate it would then perhaps be time for me to take more active steps. No, Iam not prepared to say whether the statement contains errors or not.” ———+-e+_—____ Lively Riot in St. Louis. STREET CARS HURLED FROM THE TRACK AND DEMOLISHED—BLOODY FIGHT BETWEEN THE POLICE AND THE MOB. A violent crisis occurred in the St. Louis street car strike last evening. A-dispatch to the New York Tribuné says: “About 5 o'clock a mob of 10,000 people gathered in Pine street, between 6th and 10th streets, and in less than ten minutes twenty street cars were wrecked, and the drivers and conductors fleeing tor life. Fou es of cars run in the Pine street tracks. ‘This atterndon an attempt was made to run cars over them. Several hundred new men had been engaged. The cars were sent out rapidly unill five or six on each line reached the Pine street termini. When the first cur started on the return trip and reached 6th street a num- ber of hoodlums stopped the mules, cut the traces and lines, and sent the’ animals off. e driver was knocked Hoping jown, fell over the dashboard and was run over and fatally burt. ‘The ear, which was then at the top of an incline, was given a push and sent flying toward the bottom. It jumped the track before it had gone half way and tumbled over into the ditch. The next car was treated inthe same manner, except that the driver and conductor escaped without injury. The mob hud by this time filled the streets so that walking was impossivle. The windows and the fare registers were broken with flying bricks. Four more oars were treated in u sim- {lar manner. At the base of the hill, the cars struck one another with terriffic force and ten of them were so badly telescoped that they are utterly useless. It was ouly by the greatest effort that some of the crowd saved the “scabs,” as the strikers called the new man. ‘As Superintendent Sculler, of the Union depot line, stepped on one of his wrecked cars, asmalt man darted out of the crowd and struck him a blow on the side of the neck that felled him as ifhehad been shot. Sergeant of Police Ryan saw the act and caught the man, who lea desperate resistance. The se \t was assisted by two more office: but the mob closed inon them and a bloody tizht occurred.

A platoon of police arrived and tried to clear the streets, but ound the job a difficult one. Hand to club fights oc- curred on every corner and more than filty arrests were made. The officers stood guard over the cars and sent word to the stabie to have them taken away. A number of extra teams were sent to the scene, but the men re- fused to get on the cars, fearing violence.
