Representative Bynum has just returned from New York, where he has been for two weeks. “It is impossible,” he said to a Stan reporter this morning, “for any one not fa- miliar with New York politics to judgo of the situation there, whether he stays there two weeks or two months. It is impossible for me to tell what the situation there is, New York democrats say things are all right. I do not know.” “How about Indiana?” “Reporte I get trom Indiana," he replied, “are ve .

AN THE DEPARTMENTS, Politics Net So Much Discussed by the Clerks as Formerly. There has been a wonderfal change in de partment life in Washington in the last ten or twelve years, There has been a marked change within four years, but ithus been merely = rapid growth of something already started. Memory does nothave toran back sofaras tobe severely taxed to remember when the ments were breeders of social scandals, and there were no more bickerings and gossip in a country sewing society than there was in Uncle ‘Sam's great workshops. Spying, talebearingand petty intrigues used to take the place of work and everything was controlled by petty politica. The one requisite for continuance in office and for the privilege of being arrogant, in- subordinate and useless was to strong political influence. At the ning of ® cam- , Such as the one fest opened, the departments became stewpans. The question was who should splutter most in the Pan and render the most fat. The next most meritorious thing a clerk could do after giving substantial money contribution to the cam- Paign and biustering himself bosrse about olitics, was to inform on some one else who End not contributed quite enough or had not shouted with sufficient lung power. Clerks felt that they exercised an immense umount of political influence and that the duty devolved Upon them to run the national cam; Look through the departments now and it will not seem possible that such state of affairs eyer did exist. The moral tone has been raised beyond anything in the past, near or remote, and the small politician, with his schemes and intrigues, is nowhere to be found. In the place of a lot of folks who strolled about the corridors and prated of ‘nfluence,” there are a lot of self-respecting, industrious. men and women making records at their desks, upon which their official standing depends. DON'T CUT ANY FIGURE Xow. The political power of the army of depart- ment clerks is now too insignificant to be talked of. They do not figure in the cam- patga except as Individuals, and it would ¥ery difficult to determine which of the great arties has a majority in the classified service. ere is as lit litical talk and as little interest taken in polities among the government employes as there would be among the same number of persons employed in any sort of busi- ‘ness, and apparently as much independence of thought. There is no flurry and excitement, no exhibition of anxiety, no forced display of ‘ac- in fact to indicate tivity and interest, nothing that the people in the more interested in the other American citizens. ered with visiohs of collectors of politioal assces- nests, and if any should appear, a thing there is no promiee of as yet, their presence will have na terror. Not before in the history of the government has there existed so nearly an ideal condition of affairs, There seems to be a Cleveland may be depended upon to respect the civil service law, and there is a very fecling of security. But uside from this sense of security the influence of the past ten years, with a change from one party to the other and then back, been very beneficial to the As there was an improve- during Cleveland's term over the terms ing, 80 there has been an even greater improvement during Harrison's time in office. However much politics may be mixed up with the outside offices and those of the higher grade, the clerical force at Wash- ington is about as freé from political influence as it could be wished to be. ° DR. HAMMETT'’S REMOVAL. It is Said to Have Been Practically Deter- mined Upon, Since the present discussion of the garbage question began the rumor which was current some time ago relative to a change in the health office has again risen, and it is now whispered on the streets that the present incumbent of the office, Dr. Hammett, will before many moons give place to some one else. The rumors ap- pear to be more certain as toa vacancy ring than they are on the question of Dr. Ham: mett’s successor. Tt was stated toe reporter of Tax Stan to- day that the Commissioners were dissatisfied with the present management of the office, par- ticularly in reference to its connection with the removal of gar!

VIEWS OF RAILROAD MEN. THE FAMISHED GUARDSMEN. Soldiers Suffering More Than the Strikers ‘at Buffalo. Borvaro, N. ¥., Aug. 20.—The second week of the railroad strike opened today. Three fea- tures are most prominent this morning: An ‘army of 5,000 soldiers is quartered in the city and county; an attempt, only partly successful 00 far, is being made to lift the freight block- ade, and the danger of a strike of kindred or- ganizations is no Jess imminent than heretofore. A cry has gone up for the recall of some portion of Gen. Porter's large army, which is costing Erie county » aren stim. Only thirty trains of freight were moved out of the city yesterday by the roads affected as compared with the usual average of 200 a day. ‘This would indicate that more than the protec- tion of the National Guard is needed to enable the several roads to do business. The real trouble seems to be the procuring and drilling of new men. = AN IMPORTANT cRISIB. ‘The strikers are reported as satisfied with the tie-up of the seven roads, and, while Grand Master Sweeney endeavors withoutavail to arbi- trate, plans are being discussed to still further cripple the roads. Itie stated on good nutbority that unless the demands of the men are met the freight trainmen and others will be ordered out. An important crisis in the strike has been reac! It is stated to be almost a certainty that the locomotive firemen on the Lehigh, Erie, Lake Shore, West Shore and Central roads ised a out between 6 o'clock this evening and Sunday morning, and that the trainmen and conductors will follow them. This strike, should it occur, will be the ontcome of the se- eret meeting of the five local lodges of firemen held last About 250 men were in attend- ance. The men and Conductors’ Brother- hood were represented by delegates. It is re- the Firemen's foci that the 597 members o! rotherhood are unanimously in favor of de- claring a strike on the Erie,Lehigh, Lake Shore, West Shore and Central roads. Many members urged that local lodges order the strike immedi- ately. They were held back by the more con- servative men and the matter was referred by telegraph to Grand Master Sargent at Terre Haute. It was stated by one of the firemen that it was quite probable that the grand master would comply with the wishes of the local or- ganization. The strike will be sympathetic and no bill of grievances will be presented. How- ever, the firemen insist that if the switchmen are given the ten-hour system it shall apply to them also. Otherwise it would be direct dis- crimination against their organization. SOLDIERS BAD To FORAGE. The troops from out of town, especially those from the eastern part of the state, are haviu' abouf@s much ip as either the strikers or the rai y were routed out in a railroads. hurry and most of them came unprepated for & long vtay. No preparations were made to re- ceive them hero—not even rations were pro- vided. When the New York regiments reached their station in the Lake Shore yards they were nearly famished and at once instituied a forag- expedition. A Lake Shore car inspector last night that these men, in their search for food, broke open ten Lake Shore cars. In one they found a quantity of crackers, which were seized and distributed among the men. ‘The twenty-sccond regiment, from New York, | P°P’ are guarding the Lehigh yards. With it is the twenty-third separate company of Hudson. The men of this regiment were complaining all day yesterday of lack of food. They said they were suffering more than the strikers, for they were brought up here to be starved. "The sixteenth separate company, from Catakill, isalso at the Lehigh yards. Thoy were joined last evening by companies five and ten of Newburg, and the inth regiment, New York city. For the ac- commodation of the new companies a string of empty freight cars was brought to the Lehigh yards, The thirteenth regiment of Brooklyn is quartered in the Coatsworth elevator at the foot of Michigan street and is doing guard duty. BETWEEN TWO HORNS OF A DILEMMA. Sheriff Beck is a busy and much-worried man these days.

Mr. Buchanan, superintendent of motive power of the New York Central, is here to aid the other officials in unraveling the snarl. Speaking of the expected firemen’s strike he said: “I know nothing of contemplated «trike. I bave heard no complaint from the men, either or firemen, and do not believe there is anything in the story. In fact, I have no fear that there will be a strike among the men in my department.” mt." ——<$—__ EXTENDING THE LINES. The Military Now Guarding the Grand ‘Trunk Tracks. Borrazo, N. ¥., Aug. 20.—As the darkness settled down along the Niagara river frontier last night the glitter of the sentries’ rifles could be distinctly seen by the passengers on the Grand Isiand boats that slowly pushed their way cityward against the swift current. The events of the day had not been alarming to the railroad ple, still the feeling of the men onthe Grand Trunk had manifesied iteelf so jered wise to place the vast railroad interests atthat point under a military guard. The military line was consequently extended until its extreme left rested on the Niagara river at the point where the great International bridge touches the American shore, is the key to situation so far as the Canadian traffic of the Grand Trunk is concerned. Iti the northwesterly ex- tremity of the city limits of Buffalo, and ex- tends about two miles along the river bank, while the territory to which the local name is applied reaches back about one and a if miles to the Buffalo plains. The international bridge strikes the shore in about the center of this distance. From thir huge iron pathway five of the great- est trunk lines of the American continent di- ba ont At the extreme right and reached by a sharp curve the yards of the N. ¥. C, and H.

The yards of the New York, Lake Erie and Wostern are to the left of the Central, while those of the D. L. and W. are on the right of the Erie. The Grand Tronk have no yard room on the American side of the river. Their engines simply draw the freight across the bridge and deliver it to their connecting linea. ‘The arca of is very large and as it ix ‘ged for the storage & grain in care, the value the merchandise, in! addition to the poilit stock, would bring the total to peter cn | figure. On either side of this railroad domain are immense manufacturing interests. Among. them are the works of the Calumet Copper Com- pany, the Pratt and Letchworth mills and malleable iron works, the Sheppard Hard- ware Company, the Gould Forge Company and many others of lesser importance. The ulation of Black Rock is consequently industrial and naturally in the most hearty sympathy with twitchmen. ‘The people is well known to the railroad officials, who have good reason to fear the serious re- sults should an outbreak occur. It is doubtless with these things in view that the lines wete advanced from Cross Cut junction and rein- forced by troops from the eastern section of the city. GOV. FLOWER WILL STAY.
