His Appointment of Fassett Considered a Shrewd Bit of Politics. QUAY AXD DUDLEY RESIGNED 80 THRY COULD MORE READILY OPPOSE THE PRESIDENT—PLATT AXD HISCOCK TO KOW CONTROL XEW YORK IN THE INTEREST OF HARRISON'S RENOMINATION. The public have found it difficult to under- stand the significance of the retirement of Quay and Dudley from the national committee. ‘There has been a suspicion that there was an- tagonism to Harrison in it, but just what turn it would take wasnotclear. Mr. Harrison him- self understood the situation and the appoint- ment of Fassett as coliector of the port of New York yesterday was a counter move by him to meet that by Mr. Quay. Those two evente—the replacing of Erhardt by Fassett and the retirement of Quay and Dudley from the national committee—were the first important moves in what promises to be one of the most interesting politics! fights that has ocourred over presidential nomination. Quay, Dudley, Clarkson, Conger and other members of the executive com- mittee, acting with » number of promi- nent rest licans who are not on the national committee, it is said on excellent authority, have determined to defeat Harrison's renom- ination, if possible. They believe that there is a popular demand for the nomination of Mr. Blaine, and, while he does not want the nom- ination, that the interests of the,party demand that he shall accept it and he will secept if it comes to him without his own seeking. Quay will be the leading spirit in the op- position to Mr. Harrison, and the machine which was worked successfully to elect Harri- son will be worked by the same men now to cut him off with onc term. Quay and Dudley were in a sense in the harness of administration while on the committee and consequently were embarrassed in their opposition to dent, whereas Clarkson could go at the head of the committee as a new man and be independ- ent of any obligation to the administration. ‘THE PREEIDENT'S FLANK MOVEMENT. This is said tohave been Quay's idea. He and Dudley are now cut off from all official or semi-official connection with the administration and can work their plans on the outside, leav- ing Clarkson to mana, mittee according to the plan with which they are “all in sympathy. The President un- derstanding thie, tried to prevent Quay’s retirement. He failed to placate Quay and then the opportunity presented i and he met the opposition with @ little fank move- ment in New York. For some time Fassett has been a little at outs with the President on account of @ purely personal consideration in the appointment of the Elmira pdttmaster. ‘That was a small matter and is all passed now, but it kept Fassett’s personal sympathies with Quay, though his political action was kept subordinate to the wishes of Mr. Platt and the caucus of the Platt faction in New York politics. By the appointment of Fassett yeste it was the purpose of Mr. Harrison to give full recognition to the Platt faction and to put the control of patronage in the state in the hands of Mr. Platt to be used in the interest of the ad- 7am reporter is informed on Feliable authority that the effect anticipated is ® perfect barmonizi1 the administration forces in New York wi Platt and Hiscock, to make their work effective to secure a Harrison delegation at the republican nationa! conven- tion and to elect a Ereeicen legislature this fall. In the election they pee to subordi- nate everything to the plat ure. WARNER MILLER’S POSITION. It is said that Mr. Warner Miller, who would naturally take up the cause of his friends and ‘make ap anti-administration fight, will have to be content to remain “outside the breastworks” ‘uniess he and bis friends are willi: to har- monize under the The reason ssvigned for his fa that his interest in sec . ment guarantee forthe bands of the Nicaragua Canal Company will make him afraid to antagonize the in- istration, lest in return some heavy stones be rolled in the way of his bill next winter. He tried to sustai® Mr. Erhardt in every way he could, but it ig not thought that he will go so far as’ to openly antagonize Mr. Harrison. ‘The Flat faction io the controlling power in New York state and the appointment of Fassett is regarded by those who understand it as a ‘Yery shrewd move on the part of Mr. Harrison. YELLOW ENVELOPE DAY. Nine Hundred Census Employes to Be Dis- charged Tomorrow—How the Work is Done. ‘Tomorrow will be what is known as the “yel- low envelope” day in the census office. No less ‘than 900 of these envelopes will be distribated each one containing « brief announcement that the services of the person named are no longer required by Uncle Sam. It is not often that such a large discharge tekes place at one time in a government department, in fact, not oftener than once in ten years, when the census office beginning with a force of one or two rapidly swells and expands until within the space of a year the clerical force numbers over 8,000. The contraction then begins and goes on with about the same rate of speed as the expansion, until there are only one or two employes left.’ In the meantime all the red tape that is usual in the most staple de- partment is employed. In each individual caso of the 900 employes who are to die ofticially to- morrow the superintendent of the census wrote a letter to Secretary of the Interior stating that the services ,of John Smith or Mary Ann Jones, a clerk of such a grade, would have to be disper wit owing to the condition of the,work, Acting Sec- retary Chandler responds in each case that the superintendent is authorized to drop the em- ploye from the rolls. ‘THE FORMAL NOTIFICATIONS. ‘Then Superintendent Porter gathers himself together and attaches bis name to another batch of 900 letters, which are addressed to the clerks and inform them that their public career cerned the census office con- cat an end. Each letter an envelope and sent to the chiefs of the divisions whore the clerks are employed. ‘They ate distributed and the wonk of oie decapitating 900 clerl com, the letters excopt. in tho” last in- stance are printed forms —_ with blanks for the name of the clerk and his grade. But the Secretary of the Interidr has to write his name 900 times and the superintendent of | in, the census 1,800 times before the ie done. Then, in addition, the appoint ment division, in charge of Mr. les Leonard, prepares 900 tyne-written letters of notification to the clerks and directs the en- velopes, and this work keeps the fingersof seven- teen clerks flying rapidly for several days. While most people have reason for beliov that it is dific service, if they were in the ‘tment office of the census office they would appreciate the fact that the getting out of the government service involves a good deal of work. There is this difference, however, the clerk who is to be discharged does not have to do that work. Some one else does it for him. About August 15 there will be another die- charge of census ofice employes, numbering some BOSTON'S NAVAL MILITIA.

Smyth, ex-minister to Siberia, purchased two lots in Rosemont near the 200 for 25 and 22 cents per foot, but did not see ‘them until last fall and then found that be had paid Smyth $1,900 more than had been paid by Smyth, TxcREaseD 100 PER cEXT. A. L. Sturtevant testified that real estate in that section had increased 100 per cent in value since 1870. Dr. Francis testified that he would not sell his lot in Rosemont for less than 30 cents to the United States, and bad told his agent if he ad- Farpised the lot not to take less than 75 cents per ‘Wm. H. Barstow testified that he purchased a tract on the Klingle road last year for €60,- 000 and had recently sold to » syndicate for #115,000. The commissioners stated that they would meet at 10 and sit until $ o'clock daily, with an intermission from 12:30 to 1 o'clock. ‘TODAY's PROCEEDINGS, This morning the commission first took up the Malvern Park parcels (60 and 61) on'16th street extended. Mr. C. C. testified that there wero 21.62 acres in it, which he bought in 1887 for £27,950, about $1,300 per acre. Sixteenth street extended runs through the property and it is about twenty minutes’ drive from the city. He valued it at €3,000per acre prior to the pas- 0 of the park bill. mn cross-examination witness said that the park took in nine acres, the farthest from 14th street. Dr. A. P. Fardon testified that he had been in the real estate business for twenty years. e tract extends from i4th street to 16th street extended.

Dillon and O'Brien Will Not Reoog- nize Parnell’s Claims. THEY ARE RELEASED FROM PRISON. Secretary Proctor Will Return on Saturday. THE TENNESSEE MINERS. DILLON AND O'BRIEN FREE AGAIN, Ip. Dvstix, July 30.—Messra Dillon and O'Brien were released from Galway jail at 9:25 o'clock this morning. Neither one of the gentlemen showed more than slight traces of having suf- fered from the rigors of confinement, and at the moment of release both seemed ‘to be in the enjoyment of excellent health. A large crowd, made up of adherents of both factions of the Irish national party, surrounded the Jail, and when the distinguished ex-prisoners made their appearance they were greeted with cheers and rival shouts of “Stick to Parnell” and “Down with Parnell.” A deputation representing the evicted tenant farmers of Tipperary met the gentlemen as they emerged from the jailand presented them @ number of addresses congratulating them upon their release. Outelde of the jail vard, sitting in an open carriage, was Mrs. O'Brien, who, amid the cheers of the crowd, warmly saluted her hus- band upon meeting. Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Dillon at once entered the carriage, which, fol- lowed by repeated cheers by thecrowd, was rap- idly driven to the residence of Bishop ieCor- mack. Here a number of the political and personal friends of the Irish leaders were as sembled to join their liberated friends at a breakfast given in their honor by the bishop. A few short addresees suitable to the occasion, but devoid of all reference to Irish political troubles, were made, after which some time was spent in conversation. Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien later in the day left Galway for this city. Both gentlemen have authorized the statement that they repudiate Parnell’s pretensions to the leadership of the Irish national party. ‘This prompt and decided action bas created ‘profound sensation. "he McCarthyites are jubilant, whileeven the Most enthusiastic and steadfast followers of Mr. Parnell are downcast and faltering. Loxpos, July 30.—Considerable stir exists in Irish circles as to the release of Dillon and O Brien. Hope is expressed by the McCarthy- ites that both men will take stand Mr. Parnell, and there is talk of electing Mr. Dillon to be leader of the Irish parliamentary party in lace of Justin McCarthy. English’ voters of th look on the ‘matter indifferently, and seem to have lost all enthusiasm for the cause of Irish home rule. On the other hand, the firm stand taken by Sir Wiliam Harcourt, the liberal leade-, against any commutation of sentence for the convicted dynamiter, Daly, has given great offense to multitudes in Ire- land, and already ribald songs are sung on the streets of Dublin and Cork about the prison keeper and his so-called innocent victims.

New Youx, July 30.—A special to the Herald from Chicago says: J. Bush came here about two months ago and opened an office as the ac- credited agent of the Co-operative Building Bank of New York. Janes W. Hyatt, ex-treas- urer of the United States, is president of the concern, which boasts of having « capital of $10,000,000. Bush flooded the foreign quar- ters of the city with alluring litereture, prom- ising homes to every seeker without a cent of capital—all business being done strictly on the installment plan. His victims came by the score and parted with all their savings in ex- change for a worthless certificate of stock in the bank. The swindle recently became known. Not a mingle loan was made to the depositors. It is estimated that Bush took new 000 witb him when he left Chicago eight days ago, saying he was going to New York to get the loans. Although Henry Carey, secretary of the bank, telegraphed from the New York offee that Bush was not authorized to act as agent 0 letter from that officer which was found in ewindler’s dork contradicted that denial. Mof- fit € Langlois, who are the general agents of the bank here, admitted yesterday that Bush 1p authorized to act a agent, beginning July 1, and had turned over §7 to them. Their ‘explanation as to why he had been operding in May and June was that he bad obtained a supply of stock certificates in some way. The account of the bank i this eity bas been gurnisheed and the victims intend te prosecute the officers.
