WASHINGTON.
News of the Week From Our Regular Cor
respondent at the Capital.
Wasiuxhtox. April 17,1S01.
Editor Okkuox Scout:
Secretary Tracy huaa copy of the
following, adopted by the Federation
of Labor, placed in his hands, and has
referred it to Commodore Folger:
"Whereas, It has come to the knowl
e'dge of the Federation of Labor that
two foreigners named Olsen and Jan
sen, lately employed in England, enmo
to the United States several months
ago with a letter of recommendation
from an English ollicial to Commodore
Folger, and within less than a weok
after landing in this country were em
ployed as fourth-class machinists in
the Washington navy yard; and,
Whereas, The employment uf aliens
by tho government of the United
States in the navy yards and other
branches of tho public service in pref
erence to its own citizens, many of
whom are vainly seeking employment,
is contrary to the profc.sed policy of
'protection to American labor,' and is,
in the opinion of this body, a flagrant
violation of the spirit of the contract,
labor law, and in tho case of Olsen and
Jansen a violation of the letter of said
law ; therefore be' it
Resolved, That tlio secretary of the
navy is respectfully requested to issue
an order prohibiting the employment
of aliens in navy yards or bureaux un
der tho Navy Department in preference
to American citizens, unless it can bo
shown that the latter are incompetent
to properly discharge the duties of the
positions to be filled ; and that tlio seo
rotary'of the treasury be respectfully
requested to order an investigation of
the circumstances attending tho em
ployment of said Olson and Janson in
the Washington navy yard for tho
purpose of ascertaining whether or
not the contract labor law has been
violalod by their employment."
Secretary Foster is In New York,
but he is expected back tomorrow or
Monday, and his attention -will be im
mediately called to, this matter, which
has awakened great interest among
tho workingmen, and I am told that if
tho secretary refuses io act, the matter
will , be brought to the attention of
congress by Senator Poller.
Mr. Blaine has finished and deliv
ercd to Marquis Iinperiali, who was
left in charge of the Italian legation by
Baron Fava, the reply of tho United
States to the laBt dispatch of the Ital
ian government. It is a vorylong and
elaborate document, but its import is
practically tho saint as that of tho an
swer to Baron Fava's original demand.
This country concedes nothing and
will not interfere with tho administra
tion of justice by the regularly consti
tuted authorities of a state, but if it
can be proven that any of the men
lynched wore Italian citizens, which
has not yet been done, it will consider
the payment of an indemnity to
their families or heirs. As soon as ho
hud put a copy of his letter in tho
hands of tho rcpresnotutivo of Italy,
Mr. Blaine left town for several days,
presumably to escape being questioned
by tho newspaper men.
Secretary Tracy's private brand of
reform, which appears to bo a mighty
good thing, is to bo given an immedi
ate trial in two navy yard& at New
York and Norfolk, ho having issued
an order declaring all positions of fore
men and master mechanics at the first
named yard vacant June 1, and at tho
last July 1, and convening a board of
naval oflicers to meet at tho first place
May 11, and at tho last Juno J), for the
purpose of examining applicants for
tho vacancies, the examinations to re
fer exclusively to tho requirements of
tho positions to bo filled. Tho experi
ment will bo watcjied with interest,
both by tho pcoplo who wish to see
politics entirely eliminated from our
navy yards and by tho politicians who
do not.
Tho extension of tho civil scrvico
law to includo about six hundred em
ployes of tho Indian Service has ox-
cited no interest hero outside of official
circles, and very littlo thore. Tho
very mon who aro charged with being
responsible for nearly all tho Indian
trouble tho agents are not affected
by tho extension, which Commissioner
Roosevelt says "relates mainly to tho
Indian school work, and touches none
of the agency employes proper, except
tho physician?." Mr. Roosevelt also
thinks that this method will result in
an absolutely non-partisan Indian -service.
Perhaps it will.
Mrs. Ilalford, wife of Mr. Harrison's
private secretary, died here Wednes
day morning. It was her illness that
prevented Mr. Ilalford acconipnnying
tho presidential touring party.
The remains of the late Representa
tive Spinola left hero for New York in
charge of a congressional committee,
Wednesday morning.
Secretary Proctor gracefully ac
knowledges that a seat in the United
States sonato would be acceptable to
him and that ho would not. object to
filling tho unexpired term of Senator
Edmunds, whose resignation ia to take
oiled tho first of November.
J. If. C.
THF GOVERNOR OF OREGON.
Ho Will Maintain the Dignity of His Po
sition to the Letter.
Portland, April 21. In an inter
view with Governor Pennoyor yester
day, he was asked whether lie would
act on the suggestions made by tho
reception committee as to meeting the
president, at the southern confines of
Oregon and officially welcoming him
to the stato.
He said that ho should do nothing
of the sort. If he, the governor uf
Oregon, should visit Washington, no
body would expect tho president to
meet him at the outskirts of tho city,
or elsewhere, or at all; and there is no
better reason why he, as tho governor
of Oregon, should meet Mr. Harrison.
Mr. Harrison, explained the govern
or, represents, in his official capacity,
the official power and dignity of the
federal government; "J, as governor
of Oregon, represent the state of Ore
gon in the same way; we aro equal;
I have no business to go to pay hoin
ago to him ; on the contrary, when he
visits Oregon, ho should rather pay his
respects to me, as its official executive."
AN 0U)-TI.MK I'ltHCimUNT.
"There is a good precedent, too, for
this," said tho governor. "It happened
during tho first administration, when
Washington, while president, visited
Boston. Hancock was then governor
of Massachusetts, and it was supposed
that he should go to receive and wel
come the greatest man of the republic,
President Gcoigo Washington. He
flatly refused to do so. He claimed
that the president should first pay his
respects to him, as governor of Massachusetts.-
The affiiir was finally com
promised by. their mooting 'half way,'
and, happily for tho peaeo and dignity
of tho country, an open warfare was
averted."
So the governor, wnile quite willing
to pav all respectful attention to tho
president that 1ns most exaltod station
deserves, will maintain the dignity of
his own position, and lot it bo known
that while Mr. Harrison is president,
he is alto governor of Oregon.
NOTHING TO TAKB HACK.
Poim,ANi, April 21. Governor Pen
noyor today said that although his
opinion, as expressed yesterday, as to
the manner in which President Harri
son should he received by him, was
not intouded for publication, yet ho
had nothing to retract today. He be
lieved tho opinion expressed by him
yesterday that ho should not meet tho
president at tho state lino, but that
tho president should cull on him at
tho state house, fully accorded with
tho dignity of his position as governor
of Oregon.
