SHIXUTOV VsmxcioN,Aug. i::h,iS Hun Samuel Sullivan Cox, more wicielv known perhaps as "Suntet" Cox, the pop ular cemocratij representative front New York, is in Washington. He has just re turned from an extended tour of the four new state which he was so influential in making hr parsing the cmnibus enabling a:t through the last Congress. He is en thusiastic in his praise of the people ai.d p.-ospects of the yew states. He sat she tilked no politics while out there,but har- i ig an old time habit of keeping his eves M.d ears wide open his observations lead him to believe that Washington will cer tainly go democraticand if the opinions of well informed people count for anvthing so will Montana. The telegaph companies so far have the best of the verv interesting fight which is progressing between them and th Government represented bv the Postmas ter General, who b bT law authorized to set the price to be paid for official messa ges. The old contract being suspended the telegraph companies are compelling the Government officials to pay cash for all their messages, and at transient rates too. The Postmaster General wants them to accept a rate of or.e mill per word, but the telegraph companies sar it is not enough. The administration is.so to peak,on the wing just now, and little is being dane in any of the departments outside of routine business. The several secretaries flit In and out of town in a sort of Jack'o'lantern style that is somewhat bewildering to the fellow who tries to keep track of the.n. As a result of an investigation, the town , is talking about what a veritable "death trap ' the building occupied by the Govern ment printing office is ; it is badly ventil ated, its sewerage is something awful to think about, and it has not one-fourth of the fire escapes needed for the large nun ei t employees. Notwithstanding all these drawbacks the Public printer says that more than half of his time is taken up in hearing applications from'men and wo men who are willing to take the chances of working in this dangerous building. Secretary Noble has surprised a good many people here, notably the officials in the Pension office, by ordering the com mission engaged in the investigation of the re-rating of pensions to continue that in vestigation. He w as not satisfied with the preliminary report made covering two months, December iSSS and May tilSo.and wants a thorough Investigation for a peri od of twelve months. The secretary re fused to give out the preliminary report but promises that the entire report shall be given to the press as soon as it is complet ed. It is stated here that ex-Attorney Gen eral Garland has been engaged by the Northern Pacific Railroad to look after . their legal Interests In this city at a salary of $25,000 a year. Frank Hatton is going in tooth and nail in his fight on the civil service law. His largest and most startling charge Is that copies of the questions to be asked at ex- aminatiens in this city have been furnish ed before hand to such applicants as were willing to pay the price asked for them. This is the most serious charge yet made against this humbug, and If Hatton can prove it, it will go far towards getting the absurd law repealed. The Navy department has appointed a court of inquiry to investigate the recent accident ts the cruiser "Boston." It seems about time that something was done to make the officers of the Navy exercises a little more care In handling the few war vessels we have. Hardly a week passes that the newspapers are not called upon to chronicle some accident, that, from the standpoint of a "land lubber," might have been avoided. There Is no truth In the report sent out from Washington that the French cook recently discharged from the White House was to bring suit against President Harri son for wages during the summer. It has always been customary to dismiss the French cook at '.he White House during the summer months when no entertaining isdone.and the same course wes followed this year. The people of the country are just be ginning to realire the scope of the alien contract labor law, consequently the treas ury department is being flooded with com plaints from all sections of the country atking Investigations of alleged violations of this law. Indian Commissioner Morgan has Issued a circular to Inspectors In the Indian ser vice Instructing them to see that Indian traders are men of good character. If these traders are at present men of good character many of them have been sadly maligned. The Capital Is now at Bar Harbor.Malne, from whence several presidential appoint, mentt were announced by telegraph Sat urday, They were all under Mr Blaine's department.
