Latest Tlerams to The Sta ANOTHER BATTERED VESSEL. Damage Received by the Steamer Chat- tahoochee in the Recent Gale. New Yor, April 10.—The steamer Chatta- hoochee, three days overdue from Savannah, arrived this morning. She was badly battered, and some of her passengers aver that they never expected to see land again, While off Bodies Island Saturday morning, twenty-four hours out, the vessel encountered the heavy je, the tidings of whose havoc in Chesapeake y and along the southern coast have already received. The gale was accompanied by 8 violent hailstorm andcovered the deck of the Chattahoochee with ice to the depth of two feet. ‘The gale raged all day with increasing vio- lence, but on Sunday morning the crisis came. At 5:30, while all th ngers were in their berths, a giant wave broke over the vessel, carrying away a big section of the bulwarks SMASHING THE SIDE OF THE SALOON. Several other monster waves followed, flood- ing the saloon and the long tier of sleeping berths, The passengers awoke panic-stricken to find themselves in several feet of water, with more i Women and men in dress rushed hither and thither shouting that they were lost, and calling on God to save them. Some tore their hair and acted more like insane than sane per- sons, The captain and mate endeavored to soothe passengers by assuring them that there was no danger, but with little or no avail. ‘THE PASSENGERS ALTERNATELY PRAYED AND CRIED all day Sunday and throughout the night. The ship was meantime hove to. All the oil on board was used in an effort to calm the sea and break the force of the waves. At 10 a.m. Mon- day the storm had abated and the engines were again started. By that time the vessel had drifted two hundred miles out of her course. Capt. meager says it was the worst gale he ever encountered. One lady, whose name was refused, was carried down ‘the gangway un- conscious and taken away inacab. Nearly all the passengers are inan exhausted condition, and many bad been thrown down and bruised 80 badly as to be unable to walk. Senator-elect Dixon’s History. Provipence, R. I., April 10.—United States Senator-elect Dixon, of Westerly, was born in that town August 28. 1847. He graduated from Brown university in the class of "69 and from the Albany law school in 1871, and is a practising lawyer. He was United States district attorney from 1877 to 1885 and was representative from the second district in the 48th Congress to fill a vacancy for a month. He has been a member of the state senate since May, 1885, His father, Nathan F. Dixon, was a rominent man in the state, representing ‘hode Island in the national house and sénate and holding other important offices, seo ay A Railroad Convention. New York, April 10.¢The general time con- vention of the railroad men began its session in the ball-room of the Hotel Brunswick. The sessions are held with closed doors. The chief object of the convention will be the selection of a date on which the spring time tables shall go into effect. Representatives of railroads with a mileage of nearly 22,000 miles favor May 12 as the date of the proposed change. There will also be a report from the committee on car mileage and per diem rates and the com- mittee on the code of standard train rules and rules for the movement of trains by telegraphic orders, The annual election of officers will also take place, and the convention will also act on the proposition to change the name of the organization. The attendance is large and the various roads throughout the country are largely represented. sonia Se ea The Company Fully Insured, Bostoy, April 10—Mr. John C. Paige, through whom is insured the Boston and Maine railroad property destroyed last night by the burning of the freight-honse of the roads of the Lowell system, says the corporation is fully in- sured in the Home insurance company, of New York. The loss cannot be definitely stated for several weeks, not until the claims for dam- aged freight are presented and the clearing- house books made - so as to show what cars are burned. Mr. Paige estimates the loss, however, at #100,000. sc Investigating the Rabbit Exterminator. Sypvey, N.S. W., April 10.—The committee appointed to investigate the discovery of M.

NOT 80 MANY CONGRESSMEN ON HAND—A TALE WITH REPRESENTATIVE SPRINGER—HIS PRO- POSED BILL TO PRESIDENT OF THE EVILS OF “TOO MUCH Pi NAGE.” The office-seeker is no longer a trusting indi- vidual with a child-like confidence in the sin- cerity and energy of the gentlemen who are supposed to be supporting him in his struggle. He has waited with more or less of impatience for the arriyal of his commission, and while he waited the suspicion crawled into his mind that his “‘iuflooence” at Washington was not doing ell that might be done in his behalf. A few hours of careful thought clinched the suspicion and made it certain that he was a victim of treachery. Then he came to Washington. He was at the White House this morning—more than a hundred of him—and he proposed to find out in about five minutes why the Presi- dent had been trifling with his hopes and am- bitions. The crowd that climbed the stairs and thronged around Doorkeeper Loefiler’s desk from 10 o'clock until nearly 1 was as large as any that has worried the chief executive since he stood under a dripping umbrella on the Fourth of March and was duly sworn in as President of the United States and chief dis- burser of patronage for a term of four years. Probably out of deference to the office- seeker there was a marked diminution in the attendance of SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES. Senator Plumb was one of the few national legislators present, and he was accompanied by L. 8. Tucker, president of the board of trade of Cawker City; H. P. Myton, of Garden City, and x ug Levy, president of the Wichita national an Representative John A. Quackenbush and John M. Francis, of New York, were among the first to see the President. and immediately after them came Representative Lehlbach, who is going to see the patronage in New Jersey dis- haved among some of the men who did the worl HUNGRY BUCKEYES were represented by Representatives Grosvenor and Thompson, but they took no promises away with them. They seemed to be satisfied, however, and probably feel as does Represen- tative McKinley, who told a Star reporter that in a little while Ohio would be fully cared for, and all would be well. Senator Blair introduced a party of friends and Representative Hopkins performed the same courtesy for Mr. J. G. Ellwood, of Illinois, Mr, Hopkins said he was not doing any oflice secking now; he was taking a holiday. IOWA'S INTERESTS, Senator Allison and Representative Dolliver looked after Iowa's interests in a brief inter- view; they did not seem to be especially elated when they came out, but appearances do not ‘o for much where the Senator is concerned. ie never gives himself away. Senator Spooner was around, after a pro- longed and inexplicable absence. Everybody was glad tosee him and he wag cheerful and bright as usual. It is presumed that he apolo- gized to the President for having neglected to call at the White House for four whole days. REPRESENTATIVE SPRINGER had a short, pleasant chat with the President. Mr. Springer is going home in three or four days, and he called to pay his respects before bidding the city adieu until next winter. “TI feel much better than I have for a long time,” said he toa Star reporter. “I have gained fully 19 pounds in weight since the 4th of March; due probably to the fact that I bave had nothing to do with THE GREAT NATIONAL STEEPLECHASE FOR OF- FICE, My supporters are not entered for that event. A great many of them were four years ago and then I had a busy time all day and when night came I could do nothing but dream of the thousands of anxious faces that haunt the White House and the departments. I am a ‘ood deal more of a civil service reformer than ever supposed I could be. Of course I under- staud that when we have a perfect civilgservice the millennium will not be far away, but I think it better to move in the direction of the millennium than toward pandemonium—which is the result of the spoils doctrine, There is TOO MUCH PATRONAGE in the hands of the President and the depart- ments, and I shall, next winter, introduce and advocate a bill to relieve them of much of the ressure. I will try to lift the Congressman’s urden, too, by working for the election of postmasters by the people; that can be done without as the Constitution, for the election would be simply a recommendation.” BE MERCIFUL UNTO COLLECTOR SALTONSTALL was the tenor of the petition presented to the President by Representasive Henry Cabot Lodge, who followed Mr. Springer. The docu- ment was a decidedly weighty one so far as influence went, for it was signed by a large number of the solid business men of Boston. They think Saltoustall is ‘some beans” and they want him retained in office until his term expires, Mr, Lodge thinks the President will gratify them. Representative Vandever was the last of the congressional callers, and it was said that he had asked the President to decide the public printership question by appointing Osborne of ¥ warned Smith off. but as he persisted in his work of destruction, Easley got a gun, which was loaded with bird shot, and fired at Smith, the load taking effect in his breast. causing death a short time.

NEEDS AN OFFICE. A good many people in town know the man whose card, presented to the President this morning, bore the inscription, “ Mat. Q. Henderson, Georgetown, Texas.” He! derson became famous while an employ of the House of _ Representatives. He brings with him a general recommendation from republican Texas and says he will take anything the administration has to give. He says he needs an office in his business, DOESN'T NEED AN OFFICE, R. L. Richardson, of the Winnipeg (Man.) Daity Sun, had the proud distinction of being the only man in all the crowd that did not want an office either for himself or any one else. He saw the President, and he takes away with him a pleasant recollection that even a Manitoba winter will fail to congeal. W. V. McKean, editor-in-chief of the Phila- delphia Ledger, accompanied by Major Carson, the Ledger's Washington correspondent, were the only other newspaper men who went in, Mr. McKean, who is an old friend of Col. Crook, left a card for the absent disbursing officer, who was out taking his lunch. THE DEMOCRATIC CIVIL-SERVICE COMMISSIONER. Deputy Second Controller McMahon, who wants to be the democratic civil-service com- missioner, had a little talk with the President, but he was not promised the place, so he went back to the Treasury department to sign some waiting papers, promising to call again, IDAHO. Delegate Fred. T. Dubois, of Idaho, was in the library for awhile. He told a Star re- porter when he dame out that Idaho was mak- ing ready to become a state at the earliest possible moment. One of Gov. | Stevenson’s last acts before surrendering to | Governor Shoup was to issue @ proclamation calling together a constitutional conxention to meet at Boise city on July 4. In November there will be an election to ratify the consti- tution and to elect a full set of state and legislative officers, and in December the constitution will be presented to Congress, Idaho thus hopes to be crowned with statehood almost as soon as her next door neighbors Montana and Washington. Idaho is still debatable ground politically, and the fights in July and November will both be warm. DISTRICT CALLERS.

Entrance to the new world—to the bowels of the earth—was only to be had at the poles, and the Symmes theory was that if a vessel could only through the sea of ice and reach the pole she could sail right inand have a very pleasant time. All this was shown, on paper, to be not only feasible but actually so, It was suggested this morning by an unscientific but eminently Practical gentlemen who happened to be at the White House and saw the two Symmes visitors ‘o in, that perhaps they were going to tell the esident how he might flee from any great outburst of political wrath, and by entering the great pole hole and pulling the orifice in after im could make good his escape and balk his pursuers, It was also suggested that the office- seeker would fail to find him in such a retreat.

Suit the “Outs.” THEY GRUMBLE AT THE DELAY CAUSED BY THE CAUTIOUS MANNER IN WHICH REMOVALS AND APPOINMENTS ARE MADE BY THE ADMINIS- TRATION—BUT THE WHEELS DO NOT REVOLVE. The office-seekers are doing much about the slowness with which the administra- tion is moving in the matter of appointments, | There is disappointment and dissatisfaction, heartburning and all that, but withall the most | disc: d find no more severe criticism than that the President and his cabinet officers are cautious in their selections and slow in making appointments, The criticism is negative, com- plaining of what is not being done. Politicians of experience in affairs at Wash- ington understand very clearly that the policy | of roaring the office-seekers out is being fol- | lowed, and that it is meeting with success. The announcement that Mr, Harrison made before he came here, to the effect that the men want- mbling coming to Washington and staying here to ter and importune, is becoming appreciate. its full force, Not much will be done as long as the crowd stays, nor will any inducement be held out to bring them back when they have once de At this time neither the President nor his sec- retaries are devoting the thought to individual cases*that the parties interested fondly imagine an they are. IN THE DEPARTMENTS, The cabinet officers have their regular de- partmental business to attend to after the hours they give each day to receiving visitors, and they are obliged to take up these matters of appointments largely in the order of their importance from a business standpoint, They cannot consider much the personal convenience of the candidates or be influenced by their impatience. The only branch of the service where there is any real activity in ap- pointment is in the Post-Oftice department, and there the activity is confined to the fourth~lass postmasters, These are small matters individually, but amount to a great deal collectively. The demand is in all cases for a prompt change, and with more than forty thousand of them to fill, reg syere and ap- pointment must of necessity be rapid. As to these offices, moreover, the recommendation of THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN representing the district; or, if it Is not repre- sented by a republican, the recommendation of the recognized party leaders is sufficient to secure the appointment. The republi- can congressmen, as soon as they can decide what ‘they want, are sure | of their recommendations being followed. this way the fourth-class post-offices may be filled acceptably and with speed. But this is | not the case asto the other offices.

But here the convenience of | the office must be considered, and the appoint- | ments cannot be made at once. On the first of May the collectors issue the re- tail license stamps throughout the country. This is an immense work, thousands of stamps having to be signed. The collectors have to begin their work about the 15th of April and continue it until the 9th of May. If acollector were removed after he had begun this work and before the Ist of May all the stamps signed by him would be of no value, and the work would have to be done over again. For this reason the policy of the Treasury department will be to make no changes in these places from this time until after May 1.
