The gossip in political quarters to-day turns upon the possibilities of the “Sherman boom.’ His trip to the south fs conceded to be for the pur- Pose of giving the boom a chance to develop quickly under the influence of the warm southern sun. Messrs. Mahone and John D. Wise express the opinion that John Sherman eancarry thestate Of Virginia, both atthe nominating convention and afterwards, as to its electoral vote, The Ohio chieftain himself publicly expresses the opinion ‘that the solid south may be divided in the next presidential contest. His friends say that during this trip he will throw himself among the southern people and dispel the erroneous impres- sion that he has no warmth in his composition. ‘They expect him to thaw outinthe south and much in popularity. ‘They confidently expect, hat_he will get the ‘Support of the delegates of Several of the southern statesin the convention. ‘The Blaine men say they are not afraid of Mr. Sherman. Representative Brady, who Was Mahone’s first Heutenant for so long and who has been a republican leader in Virginia longer than has Mahone, does not agree with him that the state could be carried by the “Ohio man.” Blaine, he Says, can carry Virginia st any one the democrats can put up. There is an enthusiasm aroused at the mention of his name. Not so, he says, With Sherman. He could not carry the ‘state. Any one who says he can does not know the southern people. . Mr. Blaine’s friends say that Blaine ts not push- ing himself to the front, but that he is there and is Pee stay. Whatever work others may do meanwhile, they say, t will be found at the con- vention that the Piumed Knight will be head and shoulders above everybody else. They contend that: the only question is whether he wants the nomin- ation. Then, they intimate that if Mr, Cleveland isto lead the democracy again he wiil want to enter the fleld against him. When all talk is over it may be boiled down to the quite general belief that Blaine and Cleveland are to be pitted against each other again. Demo- cratic politicians generally concede that they can- not get away from the man of destiny; that Mr. Cleveland will stick. One of them likenéd him the other day to a tar baby—“whether you hit him or hug him, he sticks.” ‘The politicians are not Det- ter satisiied, but more vtolerant with him. ‘They are inclined 'to shut their eyes and accept. the in- evitable. Some leading mugwumps with whom a ‘Stam reporter has talked area little uncertain as to their own feelings as regards the President. ‘They say that he has not done in the way of civil service reform all tbat they hoped for, yet that he hag done all that he was_ positively pledged to do, and they do not know where they could finda max who could do more. He has gone further, they say, than any republican thought he would go, and while you may find one who will say he has been shamming, You will find fifty republicans who are frightened because they think he has done too well. Upon the whole, the mugwumps say they are fnelinéd_ to accept him. They estimated that if Mr, Allison were nominated against him, he would lose about half the mugwump vote, possibly more. Most any republican, xcept Blaine, could take some mug- Wumps froin Cleveland. Tf Blaine should be nol nated, however, they say, Cleveland would get & much larger mugwump vote than he did before. Se ewe INVESTIGATING THE DEPART- MENTS, Senator Cockrell Contradicts Sensa- tional Reports About His Commit- tee. A Sram reporter called to-day upon Senator Cockrell, chairman of the special Senate commit- mittee appointed to inquire into the methods of transacting business in the government depart- ments, and showed him clippings from several newspapers, purporting to outline the character of the committee's work. “Those statements,” sald the Senator, after glancing over the paragraphs, “are unauthorized and purely speculative. The committee will hold its first meeting to-morrow to determine as to its Plans, Until then nobody can say what will be lone.” ‘The Star Called the Senator's attention to one Washtugton special stating that one branch Of the inquiry would be into the conduct ofcertain ernment officials in connection with fat con- racts, Senator Cockrell said he did not know anything about any relations of government officials or clerks with contracts, and that the statement was Unauthorized and unwarranted. ‘The committee 1s composed of Senators Coc! rell (chairman), Harris, Jones of Arkansas, Platt and Cullom. —__+e-_____ Matthews and Senator Ingalls. THEY SHAKE HANDS AND HAVE a PLEASANT CHAT. Ex-Recorder Matthews was walking down Penn- sylvania avenue yesterday morning and came face to face with Senator Ingalls, who opposed his con@rmation in the Senate. Senator Ingalls ex- tended his hand to the ex-recorder, and, after engaging in pleasant conversation for a few moments, they parted with the usual salutations. ‘The Senator afterwards sald to a prominent oM- cial: “Yes, [know Mr. Matthews. He 1s a bright fellow. I ¢annot but admire his independence and the manly Way he acted throughout his con- test. He fs, strange to say, a democrat, I would not do him or any man an Injustice. The charges made against hizo were without foundation and 1 ‘80 reported, as the record shows. It was @ politt- cal fight and Matthews was the victim.” Mr. Matthews Was afterwards asked by a STAR reporter what Senator Ingalls had to say about his case, “I have no fault to find with the Senator,” responded the ex-recorder, “Senator Ingalls his always treated me courteously,and with that respect and consideration due ‘from one gentle- man to another. Senktor Ingalls isa far-seeln; statesman, an astute pbilticlan, He is a republi- can, a strict party man--I am a’ democrat,” a AN EXTRA SESSION. Likely to be Called in October. Democratic members of Congress and others who have access to the President and means of knowledge on the subject, do not believe that there 1s any possibility’ of an extra session of Con- gress now. The prevalent impression, asgathered by a Sran reporter from conversation with mem- bers of Congress, ts that the Fifti:th will be called together in the fall, perhaps in October, in “order that some’ of the tm- portant legislation to come before it may be matured early. It 1s a well-known fact that Cony scarcely ever does any business until after the holiday recess, In view of the fact that the questions of revenue and taxation, of fortifications, and others of great public interest must receive atfention at the next session, it is ane ean AS eee ic a Kec begin shat it will run along into the regular session. : = MR. RANDALL RESPONSIBLE. a Bill to Improve the Sanitary ition of the Treasury was Not Passed. INSPECTOR OP PLUMBING KOBINSON SPEAKS OUT—EOW HE WOULD CONVINCE THE PENNSYLVANIA STATES- ‘MAN OF THE ERROR OF HIS WAYS. AStaR reporter asked Inspector of Plumbing Robinson to-day why the Senate bill to appropri- ate $50,000 to improve the sanitary condition of the Treasury building fafled of passage. “No good Teason could be assigned except the sweet will of Mr. Randall,” said Mr, Robinson in reply. “The disposition of that gentleman is to oppose all ap- Propriations that are not in his opinion necessary. He very foolishly stated, when spoken to in Teganl to the matter, that he had visited the Treasury department on several occastons and could not smell any sewer gas. How weak and puerile are such replies trom the man who has had such power and has been considered so able in the House of Representative to that remark of his that he ‘could not smell the sewer gas,'I Would almost guarantee that if he could be shut up in one of the rooms he visited for sce Le hours it would result in bis death or conversion Uo mny views. If it were possible to reach him TI could—with all the evidence that has ‘been brought before the committee ey, examined by him—have him indict by the eae jury for a criminal offense. It is a well-known fact that not only. 43 the efficiency of the clerks In the Treasury department being destroyed by the unsanitary condition of the bullding, but when a male or fe- male clerk—more especially the latter, because ‘they are more subject to disease—wants to be ex- cused from Work on account of illness, no sur- geon’s certificate is required, nor are they asked the nature of their iituesst Why? Because the heads of the bureaus know that it is caused by the tmpure air in the bullding. “There are other members of the committee,” sald Mr. Robinson, !n conclusion, “so weak as to be influenced by Mr. Randall, who are equally criniigal. I met a prominent Congressman on the street-yesterday, and he told me that since the ad- journinent of Congress several prominent demo- in answer eratic members have waited upon Mr. Carlisle and told him that unless he promised to keep Randall off theappropriations committee at the next session that they Would not support him (Carlisle) for re- election.” The Government Printing Oftice. THR REDUCTION OF FORCE CAUSED BY THE LOW STATE OF THE PUNDS—NEW BOILERS NEEDED. The adjournment of Congress and consequent curtallment of public printing made tt necessaryto reduce the force at the government printing oftice, A STAR reporter who ealled there and made inquiry as to the condition of affairs was in- formed that the reduction of force had been made necessary by the excessive expenditure of money last summer and fall printer took the off the expenditures of eaeb quarter of the fiscal year shall not exceed the ap) ropriations. THe STAR reporter was told that, In order to keep up with current work, the force ought not to be reduced at all, but that because of the excess of expenditures last fall 1t nad become necessary to curtail now. NEW BOILERS NEEDED. 16 was mentioned Cust as one of the essentials it ‘Was absolutely necessary to purchase new boilers. Mr. Benedict had asked for an appropriation for ‘this purpose, but it had not been granted, print e present, boliers,” sad an oficial of the ting office, “are nov only Inadequate, but dan- gerous, New ‘botlers must. be provided, and in order to protect the lives of people employed here ‘the public printer will have to use some fund for the purchase of new boilers.” FURLOUGHS INSTRAD OF DISCHARGES. Mr. Benedict has determined to adopt the plan of furloughing, as far as that, may be practicable, as preferable to making disebarges. He says he 15 compelled to reduce his force, but he means to do it by working as little hardship to the people em- ployed as possible. ‘On the Close of work yesterday forty men were furloughed from the first and second divisions of the document room and one man was discharged from the specification room. Major G. A. R Me- Nelr, foreman of the Congressional Record, nas been transferred to the Treasury branch printing office and placed in charge of it, succeeding Capt. P. L.

Congress appropriaited $25,000 for such a building, and, besides authorizing the District Commissioners to sell any lot in that division now owned by the District and use the proceeds of the same forthe purchase of a more eligivle building site, they appropriated an additional £3,000 for use In case the money realized from the sale of that lot—on 34 Street, between C and D streets southwest— should not be sufficient to purchase another site, The change from the site how owned by the District to one on 10th andG streets was recommended and urged before the committee. says Building Inspector Fntwisle, by Mr. C. B, Church and others, on the ground that the majority of the school population Teside in the region south of the railroad and in the vicinity of the proposed new site. It 1s hardly Possible, however, that the desire of these citi- zens Will prevail, for the reason that If the lot be- longing the District on 13\y street were put in the market it would fot bring more Unin $5,000, and even If the $3,000 addi- tionally “appropriated should be ‘added the total amount “of money available for the purchase of the other lot on 10th and G streets southwest would be only $8,000, while the price of that lot ts about $10,500.

LORD HARTINGTON OBJECTS. A Serious Hitch in the Negotiations for Liberal Reunion. Special Cable Dispatch to Tae Evenine Stan. Lospox, March 9.—The prospects of a liberal re- union which will include all sections of the party, are not so bright this morning. Lord Hartington has put his foot down against any concessions which start on the basis of an Irish parliament and an Irish executive which are not:pretaced by a formal repudiation by Gladstone of all alliance with Parnell. Hartington’s friends claim that he has Ofty or sixty supporters, If this 1s so the chances of a reunion of course are seriously les- ‘sened, but as Hartington is, after all, anxious that the government of Ireland should be properly carried on, and as Salisbury’s cabinet is tailing to do this, he may naturally be expected to turn to the onty ajternative. With regard to Chamber- lain, I believe he 15 likely to continue to support the ment, So far as coercion is concerned, he has been shown a draft of the ms at the bili, and his influeuce no doubt will be on the side of moderation, but be is a very wary man, not In- clined to fall Between two stools.
