—<— J THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., MONDAY, APRIL 22, 1889 ROTATION IN OFFICE. Congressman McComas’ Own Story by Way of Illustration. Washinton Correspondence New York Tribune. Said Representative Louis E. McComas, of Maryland, the other day to several of bis dem- ocratic compatriots, who were bewailing the out-going of some of their appointees from the snug places which a beneficent democracy had provided for them under the Cleveland admin- administration. ~Tecan’t for the life of me see what you fel- lows have to complain of. You ought to accept the situation gracefully; not merely because it is the inevitable, and the fortune of war, but for the reason that rotation in office is a uni- versal law of nature observed even by the wild denizens of the forest.” Being called upon to explain. Mr. McComas — the following simple but instructive istory “A friend of mine,” he remarked. “went off for a week's shooting in the Shenandoah Valley and upon his return gave me several amt incidents of his ex dition. “One day,’ said he, ‘I felt quite tired during the afternoon, and lay down in a little nest among the bushes near a stream, with my gun beside me. I had slept for # little whale, when I was awakened suddenly by a loud thump upon the ground, caused, ap- parently, by something falling from a consider- able height. The sound recurred quite regu- larly at stated intervals of about half a minute each. and appeared to come from a thick wood at 2 little distance from the spot where I was lying. My curiosity was inoneaghr aroused, so I crept cautiously through the bushes, dragging my gun after me. Presently I discovered the cause of the disturbance. There, right in front of », stood a tall poplar tree, or rather the re- ins of one. for the top of it had been torn offabout forty feet from the ground, while the diameter of the remainder was about five feet near the roots. From the top of the trunk a large coon looked warily out for a second and then jumped down, with a resound- ing thud, upon the ground, taking the forty-foot leap quite as a matter of course. Im- mediately upon reaching the ground the coon made a bee line for a hole in the roots of the tree, disappeared, and presently emerged again atthe top, when he again proceeded to take the flying leap, repeating this curious perform- ance until I grew tired of w: him. This was too much for me, so I skirmished round. gotseveral farmers together, and we all pro- ceeded in a posse comitatus to the spot, with dogs and guns and axes. Well, sir! we cut down that tree and split it up the middle and what do you sup we found? The trunk was hollow all the way up from the roots, and Tl be durned if it wa'nt packed chock full of live coons just as tight as you could stick ‘em. Then we understood the whole thing at a glance. There was one additional coon for whom there wasn't enough room, and when he fought his way into the hole at the roots of the tree. he just forced the whole heavy column of live coons above him upward, and ‘the top one had to leap ‘down and out; it wa'nt the same coon that I saw jumping all the time, but a different at every trip, they all took itin rotation. a. €F No other paper published has anything like half as many readers in the city of Wash- ington as has Tug Evesrxo Star, and no other one has yet supported its claims by an affidavit of its circulation, ————+ee-—___ JUST BEFORE THE RUSH. The Situation Among the Impatient Oklahoma Boomers Yesterday. The borders of Oklahoma were well picketed last night by the thousands of eager land- seekers from all parts of the country, who have been flocking toward the promised land for weeks, and who began their final struggle when the President's proclamation opening the territory went into effect at noon to-day. The Arkansas City contingent reached the Oklahoma border at sundown Saturday night, and some of them dashed into the land of promise, only tobe pursued and brought back by Capt. Hayes’ cavalry. Saturday night the boomers spent in wild jubilation, singing, dancing and discharging their rifles and revolvers. Yester- day morning the big camp was deserted and the hundreds of boomers sought along the bor- der favorable spots from which to dash for- ward to their claims at noon on Monday. As the caravan wound through the Ponca, toe, and Osage reservations on their way to the Oklahoma border, it was pla the Indians were in a disturbed frame of mind, and not at all pleased at the influx of settlers. They were all well armed, and made an ostentatious dis pia: their rifles, The danger of bloodshed, when the rush came at noon Monday, became more threaten- ing yesterday, and Capt. Hayes consulted with other officers as to the advisability of seizing all arms found on the boomers. What decision was reached was not made known last night, Marshal Needles has instructed his deputies to destroy all liquor found in Oklahoma. Pickpockets have been reaping a rich bar- vest among people bound for Oklahoma on the trains running out of Kansas City. Arumor has reached Fort Smith that the stage running between Wagoza and Walker, on the southern border of Oklahoma and on the bank of the Canadian river, was held up and robbed late Thursday night. The driver es- caped with a wound on the arm, and the pas- sengers, two men and a boy, were captured by the outlaws, ———— 0+ A NEW SOUTHERN PARTY. What Mr. Macusker Says of His Talk With President Harrison. A Charleston, S. C., special to the Phila- delphia Press says: Colonel F. W. Macusker, gentleman of wealth and influence, who has frequently represented Georgetown in the state legislature, has left the democratic party to build up @ white protectionist party in South Carolina. He has just returned from Washington, where he has been in conference with several of the leaders of the republican party. In an interview Saturday he said: “I saw the President while I was in Wash- ington, and I did not ask him for an office. I think the President is anxious to put only good | men in office. I think that his idea isto build | up & republican party in thesouth that will be a | respectable party, provided he can find the timber. In other words, I believe that he in- | tends to turn his back on the old carpet-bag | and scalawag element which has brought the party in such disrepute in the south, and give the offices to respectable white men. In my jadgment President Harrison wants to build up @ new republican party in the south. If he can get good timber I believe he will use it, but if every white man who accepts office from the president is to be ostracised, it may be possible that he will not be able to get the timber he wants. —_coo—___ United States Seamen From Samoa.

All Taken off Without Accident by the British Steamer Missouri. A cablegram from Lisbon received by Funch, Edye & Co., in New York yesterday afternoon, justified the hopes they have all along adhered to regarding the passengers and crew of the derelict steamer Danmark, The dispatch brought the welcome news that the missing people had been picked up by the British steamer Missouri, part of them landad at the Azores and the rest taken to Philadelphia. No one of those on board the Danmark was lost or injured. Forty-two of the crew of the Danmark have arrived at Lisbon. Mr. Baben, the first officer, who is among them, reports that on April 4 the Danmark’s shaft was broken. The next day the disabled steamer met the ———- Mis- souri, from London March 28, for Philadelphia and Baltimore. The Missouri towed the n- mark uutil the latter seemed to be about to sink, At first the Missouri was only able to take aboard twenty of the Danmark’s passen- e18, but after having jettisoned a portion of jos cargo she found accommodations for all the crew and passengers of the Danmark. The Missouri then proceeded to the Azores and left there the first and second officers and 320 pas- sengers. She then continued her journey to Philadelphia with 340 passengers and the re- mainder of the crew. ‘The captain and three engineers of the Danmark left the Azores on the 14th for London. The Danmark was about 800 miles from New Foundland when the accident happened. It was due to the bursting of an engine pipe; which killed the engineer, named Kaas, an’ badly damaged the ship. The shaft afterward broke and these accidents rendered the vessel entirely helpless. ; The steamer Missouri is now eight days over due at Philadelphia. Her arrival is looked for atany moment. She may have run short of provisions and coal, and in that case is likely to put into Boston or New York. alin defn BISMARCK CONCILIATORY. Points He Voluntarily Concedes in the Samoan Discussion. A Berlin cable special say Count Herbert Bismarck has prepared a statement for the Samoan conference as a basis for discussion. It has been submitted to and approved by Sir Edward Malet, the British ambassador, who was in all probability consulted while it was being drafted. If the American commissioners ac- cept the statement, the conference ought not to last more than a week. Germany concedes the principle of absolute non-interference in Samoa, and the natives are to be left free to choose as their ruler either Malietoa, Tamasese or Mataafa. No claims for compensation for German subjects are mentioned in the state- ment, and practically the work of the confer- ence is limited to defining explicitly the powers of consuls in regulating trade and shipping, the boundaris of and rights over Pago Pago and other victualling stations, and the forma- tion of a tribunal for the protection and trial of foreigners, ‘The foreign office here judges that Prince Bismarck’s censure of Consul — and his declaration that Germany does not desire to meddie with the internal affairs of Samoa, combined with the proposals to be placed before the Samoan conference, furnish ample proof that Germany earnestly wishes to conciliate the American government. At the same time, it is regretted that the American government ignored diplomatic etiquette in sending delegates who are personally prejudiced on questions to be laid before the conference. Nothing of this feeling, however, will be shown toward Messrs. Bates and Sewall. 6&7 Advertising is profitable only when prop- erly done,—that is, in the medium sure to reach the largest number of those whose attention is sought.

C., Special to Philsdelphia Press, In February last Bishop John P. Newman de- livered an address to the Virginia conference of the Northern Methodist Church, in the course of which he said the purest American blood was to be found in the south, and he did not know but the people of the south ought to thank God they had been born south of the Potomac. The north would have to engage in a death grapple with the foreign element, which was fast domi- nating legislatures and municipalities, and it might be that the south would have to march forth for the preservation of our dearest na- tional institutions from foreign encroach- ment. The News and Courier took occasion to con- gratulate Bishop Newman upon his political change of heart, and while holding that his dis- covery of the real character of the southern eople was not original, remarked that Bishop Newman wou'l have been a wiser and better man if he had visited the south long ago. The News and Courier further remarked: ‘There is no better way in which he can do pennance for the political mischief he has wrought in the past than by preaching in season and out of season upon the love of the south for the Union.” Bishop Newman has replied to that in the following letter: “My eyes have ever been opened to the real condition of things south of the Potomac. It was not necessary for me to visit the southern states to correct my impres- sions. I have no regrets for any word or act of mine touching the animus of the soathern peo- ple in the late war. What I suid at the Vir- ginia conference had no reference to the past, but to the future. You have the race question to settle as to the whites and blacks, We have the race question to settle as to the American- born and the foreign-born. With you it is a juestion with your own people; with us it is the north against all Europe.’ You have the easier task. The south has not been overrun by foreigners indifferent to our institutions, This is what I meant by ‘the purest American blood was to be found in the south,’ and that because of this it might be that the south would have to march forth in defense of our dearest institutions, Ihave been saying this in the north for the past twenty years on many public occasions, and I say so now. In all my tour in the south Ispoke Words of peace and unity, and since my return north I have spoken hke words to President Harrison and to our states- | men. It was a joy to me that I found the young men of this generation in Florida, in the Caro- linas, in Georgia, in Virginia, loyal to the Union of the fathers. I suggested to the ad- ministration to put men in office in the south of high repute, who will promote southern prosperity, intelligence and religion. os sat - A Passenger Skyrocket.

The nature of the explosive 18 a secret, and is called dynoasceni- mite. Its peculiar property is that it is deton- ating. Asmall volume of the solid makes an immense volume of vapor and lifts the machine with great rapidity into the clouds. A test was made, under Peruvian government patronage, near Callao, in December, when the charge touched by electricity sent up the machine | 15,545 feet. and the descent by parachute was | perfect.

Fourteen Months on a Desert Island. The British bark Wandering Minstrel, which sailed from Honolula December 10, 1887, was driven ashore and wrecked on Midway Island February 3, 1888. The crew escaped to the island, where they found a man named Jorgen- son, who was wrecked in the schooner General Siegel and left on the island by shipmates be- cause he was suspected of foul play in the death of two of the Siegel's crew. the men subsisted fourteen months on sea birds and fish, and were | almost starved when taken off. htt oh A Dinner to Minister Reid.
