HAI.11M April 6. (Special correspond ence.) The state cpltl la the center of attention among pulitlclans and ofnec. seekers during these flrnt fow months of the new administration. The nwly-ln-stulled otlli-hils made a few appedntm. nts during the confusion and nirk incident to the leglsliitlve session, and now there Is a rush f"r places. Tlu suivrlntendeiils of the ponlten llary and reform scho; have Ih-en ap pointed, and now the main hone of con. leutii ii Is the siipcrtntolidency of the asylum for the instine. There ar two candidates between whom the candidacy seems to lie. These are pr, J. x. Smith, of .Marion county, and Ir. J. K. Cal- bivath, of Yamhill. The appointment Is to be made by the imyhun board, consist ing of Governor lleer, Secretary Uunlwr. uud TivasuriT .Moore, it Is understood that lumbar and More are divided in I their preference, so the lalai.ce of power Is lu the hands of the governor, who will divide mon the fortunate candidate, Secrotary Putiilwr 1s opposed to the apiKlntment of any person to the head of a department who comes from the same countj that a member of the board comes from. l'Vr Umt reason he will not favor any mnn from Clatsop county for a po sition at tho head of a department. nd Is opposed to the appointment of Pr. Smith to tho asylum juporlntendency be cause he comes from the same county as Goer. IHmbar twelves quite gneral com mendation for this stand on his part. Purinsr the last administration It seemeu as though Marlon and Lane counties had an exclusive claim on sttiio offices. Mar lon had the eiiperlntetidenci of the re form sohool. mute school and penlten. tiary; th0 state land agent, clerk of the sohool lanl board, and many lesser plaoes. In addition to the governor. Lane had the secretary of state, superintendent of tho asylum, and a host of minor of. Ilelats in the asylum and other liistltu.: tlotis. The result of this monopoly was not advantageous to the udiHlnlatrallon. It Is quit, clear that the present in eunvlvtit of the executive ofllce Intends to' make hlmeelf strong in Ms owe county. No one blames him for that, for the much-mentioned "push" element is glv. tiur ililm all the trouble possible. The appointees of tho governor, tfcuj xaB have been men of unquestioned ability, but not strong politicians. They are m who have received no asslsttnce from the "Iml crowd,' but have. In many in sUncin. boon Utterly opposed to Goer's po'.iUcnl oaii-mlea. It is apiarent that iioer Intends to remejnbor his friends ni.4 give Ms adversaries an exieedingly wide birth. Ho will not lose anything; by suuti t no tics. Secretary Dunbar wlil probably not give nearly so many places to his own county as did his predecessor. Ho Is making him. self popular among those who have oc casion to transact official business witbi him, or who Interview him In the interest of their friends. By hla policy in regard to appointments he win make many' frlnd outald. of hi own eoumy, but may mak. tumu ancmlea of tboae who may . diaifp'lnid In s;:tlna; cor. eul ponfUona.

THK WKEK IN LONDOX. Copyright. 1SS9. by the Associated Press. LONDON. April g. America's success ful competition In the industrial market, where she is beating the Britishers on their own ground, is undoubtedly causing great concern and heartburnings In Brit ish engineering circles. The acrimonious protests of English firms respecting tlie awarding of the Acbara bridge contract to a Philadelphia flam brought out clear ly this feeling, and tho attempts to ex plain America's success by glut of work here do, not harmonize with the com. plaints from English firms who have not received orders wihK'h have been received by America. As the St. James Gazette puts It: "If the British manufacturers have so much work that they cannot ac. ewpt contracts, rtiey are to be congratu lated. But, In that case. It Is diffi cult to see why they are complaining." The fact Is that Industrial circles here recognise that rhese contracts mean more than mere evenesoent competition, as In the case of American engines, the railroad authorities here have conceived the very highest opinion of American work. This is borne out by the state, rrent of Manager Snell, of the locomotive department of the Great Northern rail way, which recently ordered engines from America. He said to a representa tive of the Associated Press: "Apart from the fact that American builders are able to make rrtore speedy delivery than the English, there Is no doubt whatever tha,t American engines are of the hlshest excellence and that their present features and Improvements are of such utility as to tuttraet the cus toms of English companies." The Dully Mail, taking up the question, urge a system of profit sharing, with the Introduction of the newest and most! Improved machinery, as the method "whereby America can be fought and worsted." though the papfr adds: "We must own that the nation is In some degree suffering from lack of stren uousness, both In employers and em ployed." The secretary of the engi neers' society said to the correspondent of the Associated Press: "We certainly regret the transferrence of wvrk belonging especially to the En- gOish nuirke. and It would be affectation ; to deny that there Is Indignation and much comment on the srate of affairs. We hope It will only prove a temporary interference, but you know the danger." Inquiries made toy a representative of nhe Associated Press regarding the Bel. gian syndicate which Is about to send a party of engineers to study the con struction of a railroad between Manila and Batangas, south of the bay of Ma nila, show that the district has already been sun-eyed five times. The work was considered Impracticable under the Span ish reglaie. The Sianlth government made offers to the Manila Railroad Company for the construction of the line, but there was no response from any quarter, aa the petty exactions and interference of the Span'sh authorities rendered the enter, prls most difficult.

Believed to Have Been Caused by a Jealous Servant. Who Was Actuated by a Desire for Revenge. ;? NEW TORK. April S.-Deplte reticence on the part of the police, facts became public today which made rt apparent that the fire which destroyed two houses and resulted in the death of 13 person, wai of IncemJIary origin. It has transpired that a few hours be fore the flames were seen, a rH-eman was sent for from the Andrews house and was mysteriously dismissed hy a servant, who said he was not wanted. Letters threatening the lives of the An. drews family, and the children c Mrs. St. John were found. It is believed the motive for Incendiarism was revenge, and that che affair rose out ot a quarrel among the servants. Foley, the butler In the Andrews family, Is under surveillance, ami the police are invest'eatlng daws which chiefly rest up on anonymous letters. V.iry Flannagan. a dead maid servant, seems to have been the central figure til Phis alleged plot, and the chief object of the supposed perpetrators was hate. The pc-ll'-e today gave out three scur rilous letters which have 'been sent to members of the Andrews household. One was addressed to the servant, Mary Ften nigan. The letters made charges against Mary Flannagan and the 'butler. In a letter addressed to Mrs. i i. .r - i r-- writer said: "I hope yot and Mrs. Andrews don't think for one moment that I am recon ciled or 'pacified with Mary Flanagan, for indeed I am not, arid what Is further, I will not be unltil I get my revenge. I feI that I have given 'vnrnlng enough, and I am going to fix her for life, and because .you and Mrs. Andrews did not give heed to the warnings I am going to fix you, too. I'm going tb tnuke someone throw something In your nurses' and children's faces that will' disfigure them and eat all the flesh off the bones. This I will do for spite, because you did not let Mary1 go. as I told you. You had Just ' as well let her go first as last. You wbl . , have no girl alive when 1 get throus'h j with her."
