OFFICES IN| NEW YORK CITY. Struggle for the Federal Appointments There Occupying the President’s Time. The fight over the New York city offices is now occupying much of the President's atten- tion. There is still considerable pulling and hauling. The Platt men are in the usual har- mony with themselves, and that is all they con- sider necessary to harmony. They don’t take into much account any but the Platt forces. They are confident that the appointment of Erhardt, collector, and Van Cott, postmaster, will be made before the President goes on his trip on the bay. expected to-day. While it has been assumed for some time now that Van Cott’s appointment was assured, and it is still so held to be by his friends, there is some talk of an effort that is being made to defeat his hopes, and to keep — in the New York post-office, for a while at least, The appointments are rather | The men who are supposed to be in control of these New York matters give but little heed to this matter. The hitch that is oem troub- ling them is over the surveyorship of the port. Very strong influence has been exer- cised| in the interest of Mr. Jacobus, and his appointment as surveyor was thought to be the first thing that an agreement had been reached upon. But, ac- cording to a list drawn up by the Vice-Presi- dent, Mr. Platt and Mr. Hiscock, Mr. Jacobus was replaced by Mr. Willis. ‘This list, it is un- derstood, named (besides Erhardt and Van Cott) Mr. J. U. Knapp, of Auburn, as naval officer, and Mr. Willis for surv The fight is by Mr. Jacobus’ friends against the selection of the latter. Jacobus is in the field with renewed strength, and it is thought that that appointment will hang fire some time, The others, including Knapp, are expected at any time. Later—Erhardt Appointed Collector. The President has appointed Joel B, Erhardt to be collector of customs at New York. OHIO’S CLAIMS IGNORED. An Ohio Representative Talks Gloomily of the Possible Consequences. There is a deal of complaint among the Ohio Congressmen because they have not received recognition from the new administration. They say that as a delegation they have been acting in harmony in all matters of recommendation for appointment, and therefore no excuse on the ground of rivairy exists for refusals to ap- point. An Ohio Congressman said to a STAR reporter to-day that they had concluded that it was a deliberate policy on the part of the Pres- ident to ignore their state, and that they pro- posed to let him alone. Ohio, he said, had got two appointments, the second assistant post- master-general and the superintendent of the railway mail service at Cincinnati, and that only the first was a thing they had asked for. He said he feared that such a poy on the pare of President Harrison might jeopardize ‘he interests of the party in the state this fall. While Ohio has been a pretty reliable republi- can state, he did not think it safe to be too con- fident and to neglect things there. The demo- erats had run down their majority to 18,000, which, in such a state, is not too much to be wiped ont, if the republicans are discontented and the democrats active, “If we lose Ohio this fall,” he said‘ “it means that we will have a democratic governor, a democractic Senator to succeed Payne, and that instead of sixteen members of the House, a8 now, the republicans would have but six.” ite, War and Navy Departments. NEW RULES FOR THE RECEPTION OF VISITORS. Secretaries Blaine, Proctor and Tracy have issued a composite order for the transaction of official business in the State, War and Navy departments, It provides that the Senators and Representatives will be received from 10 to 12 o'clock each day; all persons not connected with the departments will be seen at 12 o'clock, except on Tuesdays and Fridays, cabinet day In the State department visitors will be ex- cluded to make way for the members of the diplomatic corps. No persons will be admitted to the building after 2 o'clock each day except by card, which will be sent by the captain of the watch to the chief clerk or to the head of the bureau for which the visit is intended, ‘This lust rule will not apply to Senators, Rep- resentatives or heads of executive departments, Capt. Armes to be Tried by Court-Martial GEN. SCHOFIELD SO RECOMMENDS, BUT A QUES- TION HAS ARISEN AS TO WHO SHALL ORDER THE count. Gen. Schoficld, after reviewing the report of the inspector-general in the case of Captain Armes, has decided to recommend that he be tried by a court-martial, Inasmuch, however, as trials of retired officers have been of rather infrequent oceurrence, there is some doubt as | to whether the court should be ordered by the Secretary (that is, the President) or the general, Hence thelatter deterred the question to the judgment of the Secretary. There is no doubt as to the ordering of the court, but merely who shall sign the order. The charge will un- doubtedly be the usual one of “conduct unbe- coming an officer anda gentleman,” and will include both the inauguration day trouble and the assault on Gov. Beaver. The fact is that the latter occurrence is the prime one, as the other would probably have been overlooked. Resignations. Mr. L, Q. C. Lamar, jr., the chief of the sta- tionery division, Interior department, has r, signed. He has gone to Rochester, N. Y., where he will engage in business, Mr. Wm. R. Lapham has been designated as acting chief of the division. Chester R. Faulkner, of Indiana, the chief of the record division, pension office, has resigned. ee One of Them for Life.

The fence around Lafayette square is down at last, and, although the air in the park is probably no fresher, the grass no greener, or the nursemaids no prettier, everything is changed. There is a new kind of freedom ex- perienced by everyone who enters, while passers-by are apt take longer breaths as they go by, and do not have to peer through iron bars for a glimpse of the grass. Even the neighbors, who were at first inclined to object to the proceeding, are now congratulating each other on the change. They say that they can see their houses better from the park, and the park better from their houses, Col. Wilson has decided to let the two great gate posts opposite the White House remain, They will be scraped and painted anew, and made to serve as lamp-posts. All of the others are to be taken down, Acouple of plump robin red breasts were hopping about the park this morning, the first of the season, They seemed a little more shy of passers than they did last year when the fence was up; they have not had time to grow acenstomed to the change. The fence is to be taken to Gettysburg and erected in the national cemetery there. Sentenced to the Penitentiary. ALBERT DODSON WIO KILLED OSCAR WASHINGTON WILL GO TO ALPANY FOR NINE AND A HALF YEARS, At 12:30 o'clock to-day Albert Dodson was brought into the Criminal Court and sentenced by Judge Montgomery to nine and One-half years imprisonment in the Albany penitentiary, and toa fine of $1,000, on a plea of man- slaughter. Dodson was in company with an old colored man, Oscar Washington, March 31st of last year, and was seen with him on the Glenwood road, Washington then being on his way to his home near Brooks’ station, The following morning (Sunday) Washington was found suffering from severe wounds, and the next day was taken to Freedman’s hospital, where he died April 6. Dodson was arrested, and the coroner's jury found a verdict on which he was committed to jail. He was not tried, however, until February 26, when he was con- victed of murder. Mr. F. P. Closs appeared as his counsel and moved a new trial. Neither the District attorney nor the court being satis- ict, on Saturday last the he verdict set aside, and ' of manslaughter accepted. t in imposing sentence suggested that the prisoner owed much to the District attorney for his action, and while not entirely satisfied with the verdict he had no hesitancy in stating that it was a case of manslaughter which merited severe punishment. — The Second Story Burglars. OTHER ROBBERIES TRACED 70 THEM BY THE RE- COVERY OF STOLEN JEWELRY. Some of the jewelry recently recovered by the detectives conducting the investigations of the robberies at the houses of Col. Britton and Lieut. Tyler has been identified by other par- ties, showing that some of the prisoners had been connected with other burglaries tnan those with which they are charged. Some of the property was identified as having been stolen from the residences of Mra. Dorsey, No. 1418 16th street, of Mrs. Richard O'Dowd, No. 2106 G street, and of Mrs. Annie Campbell, No. 814 15th street. The jewelry identified will be returned to the owner: —————— Some Recent Robberies. About noon yesterday the house of Eli A. Berry, a butcher, near Montello, was entered by burglars and robbed. An entrance was effected by forcing open the kitchen. Then the door leading to the dining room was forced open and every room in the house was ran- sacked. The burglars carried off several ar- ticles of clothing, some jewelry and other ar- ticle, and escaped unnoticed. “It is supposed that the robbery was committed by tramps. Mrs. Reinuth, who lives on the 7th street road, was driving along H street, near the gov- ernment printing office. yesterday when she discovered that a stone had become imbeded between the horse’s shoe and the hoof. She got out of the carri: and while looking at the animal's foot a thief came along and stole her satchel from the bug; In the satchel was a pocketbook containing $53, Wednesday night thie entered the house of Mrs, Elizabeth Andrews, 495 G street south- west, and stole a basket ‘of provisions, some carpenter's tools, and flat irons.

Drs Morxes, Iowa, April 5.—A United States marshal and posse yesterday evicted a farmer from the Litchfield lands, better known as the Desmoines river lands, Blake's farm isin Ham- ilton county, 16 miles southeast from Webster city. When the posse reached the place they found Blake had moved his house across the road and entirely off the Litchfield tract. Some of his machinery was still left, but this he was getting out of the way as rapidly as possible. ‘The officers did not molest Blake nor offer him any violence whatever, but shortly after they arrived upon the scene a puff of smoke. a rifle crack and a whizzing bullet told them that THE SETTLERS HAD OPENED FIRE. The shots came from adense thicket of hazel a quarter of a mile away. Probably forty shots were fired, but the marksmanship was ei poor or the range was intentionally wide hone of the deputies were hurt. The poss a number of writs, but as they were only armed | with revolvers they did not attempt to serve them, but retreated in good order, Thee were probably twenty or thirty armed seitlers in the timber. Marshal Desmond will take the matter personally in charge in a few days, and will execute the writs or die in the attempt. THE SETTLERS MEAN TO FIGHT. ‘The settlers have been organizing all winter. They have what is known as the River Land- settlers’ union, and are as thoroughly dis- ciplined and as well prepared tor matic action as the Ku-Kiux ever were e armed with Winchester rifles and indul, target-shooting daily. They have sworn to re- sist all attempts at evictio States marshals will do their duty regar of consequences, bloodshed scems destined to result. Their system of spreading the news by telephone from town to town and by carri- ers mounted on fleet horses is well perfected. If a marshal appears in Webster City or Fort Dodge. within an hour or two the fact is known on every section of river land in Webster and Hamilton counties, and every movement of the ja marshal is watched by faithful spies and is promptly reported. THREATENING THE MARSHALS. Last week a number of writs were served. The marshals were well armed and were fre- quently met by squads of men armed with Win- chesters, who ordered them to desist operations and threatened to shoot them if they persisted in their purpose. These men were nearly al- ways mounted on horses, but at that time no shots were fired. The part of Hamilton county where the shooting occurred yesterday is very rough and covered with a scraggy growth of timber and thickets in plenty. When the mar- shals reached this neighborhood the river landers secreted themselves in the timber and opened fire upon them, After evicting Blake the marshals started to return. They had pro- ceeded about three-quarters of a mile across the hollow when a regular fusillade of bullets rained about them. The attack soon ceased, and the marshals concluded not to go on with the work until reinforced. Then the evictions will proceed without delay, The settlers are determined. Nothing will probably be done for several days, ——_.____ THE EVIDENCE CONCLUSIVE. Allard & Sons Smuggled in Great Quan- tities of Dutiable Goods. New York, April 5.—The smuggling opera- tions of Allard & Sons, of Paris and New York, was the maintopic of conversation to-day at the office of the special treasury agents in the custom-house. The hitherto high standing of this house, and the prominent social and finan- cial standing of its customers, added to the in- terest of the case. The office of the firm was open as usual to-day for the transaction of bus- iness, and Paul Coulezand, the agent of the firm, who was before Collector Magone yester- day, was in charge. Special ‘Treasury Agent Simmons. who un- earthed the swindle, is of the opinion that the evidence that the firm smuggled hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of dutiable goods into this country in the seats of antique chairs and quaint mirrors, is conclusive. ‘The smng- gled goods embraced valuable paintings, laces. silks, &c. Treasury Agent Simmons is satisfied that the customers of Allard & Sons were de- ceived into a belief that the proper duty had been paid. The amount of their bills, he says, is evidence of that fact. The members of the firm of Allard & Sons are in Paris, the headquarters of the house. It is not expected that anything further will be done in the matter until Secretary Windom is heard from. The facts in the case were em- bodied in a report sent to Washington last night. No arrests have yet been made. INDIGNANT DENIAL BY THE ALLARDS’ COUNSEL. A reporter called at the warerooms of Allard & Son this morning, and W. H. Secor, counsel for the Allards, and Mr. Ronlez, the agent, said: “This whole affair is an outrage on a mst respectable firm, and the result will show that the Allards are innocent of any attempt to de- fraud the government. It is the work of a dis- charged employe, who has cunningly taken ad- vantage of the fact that all the members of the firm are absent in Paris preparing for the com- ing exhibition. “They were aware that it was coming,” con- tinued Mr. Secor, ‘and two’ weeks ago cabled Mr. Ronlez to consult with me in regard to it. They were put on their guard by a letter re- ceived from Blossier, the discharged agent, the instigator of the present proceeding, and this letter will form an impor it of the de- fense offered by my clients. My clients are prepared to furnish bonds to any amount to se- cure the government for the alleged duties of which it is said to have been defrauded.” WHAT COLLECTOR MAGONE SAYS. Collector Magone, when asked by a reporter if there was any new developments to-day, said: have not yet heard of any. What we want now is the money of which the government is defrauded.” “Ts it true that Roulez, the sent repre- sentative of & Sons, admitted the smuggling?” “He has admitted that there was smuggling. In fact, he stated that he had stuffed some of the imported chairs with costly goods, on ‘b no duty was paid.” “Did he admit this as state's evidence, so that he couid not be punished?” “No, sir; he simply stated what he knew about the smuggling.” PARNELL IN TEARS.
