C7The writer feels that he ought to state that he was not less surprised to hear of the above prices than you will be to read of them. Our questioning cough and look, which says: “Tll-try- to-believe-but-I-ean’t,” is thus replied to by Mr. Godtrey:—“Being buyer for R, H.

Mr. Manogue Receives the Oongratuls- tions of His Friends Today. Mr. Hutchins’ Supporters Say There ‘Was Ko Controversy—Mr. Manogue’s Intentions as te the Offce. ites Coming so closely upon the selection of a Kansas colored man for an important fed- eral office in the District of Columbia, the nomination yesterday of Mr. William H. Manogue to be collector of customs of the port of Georgetown, announced in The Star, occasioned general gratification among the District democrats, among whom the ap- pointee has occupied an unquestioned place as a leader, Mr. Manogue was strongly backed for the place, among his stanch friends being Commissioner Ross, Mr. Hen- ry E. Davis and other prominent party men. It was denied today that there had been anything amounting to a factional fight be- tween Mr. Manogue’s friends and those of Mr. Wm. A. Hutchins. It has been said that Mr. Davis and Mr. James L, Norris had locked horns over the collectorship, Mr. Norris backing Mr. Hutchins, and that Mr. Manogue's appointment was a defeat for the latter member of the national demo- cratic committee. Mr. Norris Says It Was Imaginary. Mr. Norris smiled this morning when asked about the alleged contest. “Any fight between anybody else and my- self over the Georgetown collectorship is en- trely imaginary,” he remarked. “The facts of the case are that away last October, be- fore I left the city for the comp ag feir and Texas, 1 saw Secretary Cartisle in regard to the Georgetown custom house, him, in case he appointed a’ resident of Georgetown, to select Mr. Hutchins, and, in case he wanted a Washington man, to ap- point Mr. Harrison Johnson. He asked me to put the recommendations in writing, which I did, and presented them to him. Since then I have seen him once in relation = the — a I don’t believe =. utchins eyer necessary application for the office. It’s all bosh to talk about a factional or any other kind of a fight in connection with the office. I am sure the entire District democracy will be well sstis- fied with Mr. Manogue’s appointment.” Mr. Wm. A. Mutchins told The Star re- porter that he had never filed an application for the position, nor was there any petition presented in his behalf at the treasury. His friends had kindly urged his appointment upon the Secretary,and he had been in their hands entirely. Congratulating the Appointee. The new appointee held a regular levee this morning in his office on the third floor of the police headquarters building. “I was assured some time ago that my appointment to the collectorship had been decided upon, and since then I have given the matter no attention,” said Mr. Manogue as the representative of The Star drew him aside from a group of congratulating “I know nothing about the office ve never been inside of the custom | house, but I assure you I will give jay un- divided attention to jt, to the exclusion of all other business, as soon as I enter Upon its duties.” “Will you fill the places with democrats?” inquired The Star man, . Mr. Manogue did not answer immediately. ‘Il know nothing about the personnel of 4° ee Teflec- one of e employes and | don’t know whether they are democrats or | Tepublicans. Of course, I am @ democrat | 8nd shall appoint democrats in accordance | with the best interests of the Public ser- Vice.” Pleasantly about his ‘ustom hot | and | tion. “IT know ni Mr. Manogue chatted intentions regarding the c use. be my endeavor and aim,” he “to make the office a convenience to the importers of Washington, a pains will be spared to accot Ay ny |1 believe it will be possible to save busi- | ness men the long trip over to ‘town by having deputies call at their places of business and transact there any matters in which they may be interested. I believe it 4s possible to largely increase the busi- ness of the custom house and shall certain- ly exert every effort to accomplish this. At any rate the office will be conducted with those s a view to accomm person: who may have business with jt, and im- porters will soon I , that it will be to their interests to have their im- Portations sent dit in bond to town, rather than to New York, as is the custom of man; present.” Mr. Johnson Not Pleased. Capt. Sherman A. Johnson of the port of Georgetown, who is to be succeeded by Mr. W. H. Manogue, was naturally not in a “picnic humor” when The Star reporter dropped in on him this afternoon. The appointment of a successor had served out the was an act that President Harrison, he had expected to the time. He nad committed no no charges had been levied Secretary Carlisle’s letter, for his resignation surprised him greatly. In a return communication he asked the Secretary what was the cause of his re- quest. The Secretary had pigeonholed the letter and paid no attention to it. The collectorship, he said, did not pey as well now as formerly, though in 184 before he usual four-year term ice for that misdemeanor, inst him. re, asking x | it paid better than the previous year. The | captain started to utter, as his jerky con- versation indicated, what no doubt would have been sharp language against some- one, but he checked himself and said that no paper in the city would publish what he would like to say, so that he would be wast- ing time in saying it. What his future intentions were,he would not say for publication. He had not look- ed over the books of the office, he’said, to see how his commissions had compared with those of his predecessor. —o—___ Death of a Retired Policeman. Joshua McNeal, who, from 1876 to May, 1892, was an active member of the police force, died last night about 10:20 o'clock at his home on 5th street near the second pre- cinct station, The deceased was a colored man, born in the south, and had served in the United States army. He was one of the most efficient officers of the force, winning the respect of all with whom he was brought in contact, and probably had more friends among the citizens than any col- ored officer on the force. He served in the lower part of the first precinct for some years and also in the second precinct, and for some time was detailed with the chain gang. His close attention to his duties led to il a on a, 1892, he rl honorably charged wit & pension of $50. He was prominent in colored Masonic circles, and his funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon. ——— ‘The Jolly Fat Men’s Club.
