WASHINGION , March 7. The democratic

guration have loft plenty of traces of
their presence. The Washington monument
even did not escape. The lower courses of
the monument have boon blackened during
the week by persons who have euribblcd thnlr
names on the marble. Sorno have Hcratched
their names on the stones with nails or pen
knives. Superintendent McLaughlin said
that his men were powerless to prevent the
vandalism , as the visitors would pay no at
tention to any persons but the regular polico.
Soma have goneso far as to chip pieces from
the stones. This , when detected , was stopped
by the workmen , who forcibly expelled thn
offender * . Scribblers have also defaced the

WASHINGTON , March 8. It is very appa
rent that the democrats feel discouraged ovci
the outlook touching the distribution of of
fices. A few prominent men will bo giver
diplomatic and consular places and a fan
others will bo made chiefs of divisions in tin
executive departments , but what is to bo dom
for the torch bearers of the grand army thai
carried Cleveland into the White House
These will get nothing because tlio civil ser
Nice act forms a birriiu over which they carnet
not bo lifted. Cleveland and his office mai
remove subordinate oil ! ers , but they canno
select successors for those removed. Thosi
offices that will require the confirm Ulon of tin
senate may bo died at the will of the prcsi
dent , but these are few , and tin
placps hero and elsewhere not requiring th
confirmation of the senate , that uro out e
the civil serviso law , are fewer htlll. There
fore there is a fair prospect that the mutter
ing of the democrat } how heard at Washing
ton will soon swell into n growl of nationn
volume , which will bs distinctly heard whenever
over two or three democrats assemble. Thu
ftr Cleveland has given no attention to th
office-soakers. Ho refuses to consider any a p
plications , referring nil applicants to the head
of departments. Those applications wind :
reach him by mail are not presented to th
president but referred by hit direction to th

Nnw Yens , Match 8. William II. Arm
strong , Unitsd States commissioner of rail
roads has completed his report on the charge
of the Union Pacific railroad company's grants
of spscial telegraphic facilities on its line Jto
the Woetem Union telegraph company. The
Baltimore & Ohio telegraph company recently
asked the officers of tha Union Pacific com
pany for the same privileges and facilities ex
tended to the Western Union , but the appli
cation was denied. 1'rtsidenc Bates , of tlio
Baltimore & Ohio telegraph company went t
Washington a few days po and had an in
formal mtarviuw with Commissioner Arm
strong and the counsel for the Union Pacifia
company. The Union pacific people said that
the view eutertnined by its officers was
that the company was limited a ? to its
dealing with the Baltimore and Ohio tele
graph confpauy , precisely as if it wers an
individual offering a message ot a succession
ofmesinges. The Union Pacific people do
not believe that their duty in this matter
extends to the keeping of a system of mutual
accounts or extension credit , or affording
mechanic il connections. Commissioner Arm
strong concluded that the real controversy ia
at present n question clearly within judicial
adjudication. Ho therefore deemed it to be
within the spirit of the reduction to embody
in his reply the refpactivo views of the rival
interests involved. Whether the question
thm preeentod is ono for legislative action ,
must rest exclusively in tha discretion of con-
gresf. This matter , it ia said by omo per
sons interested , will bo brought to the atten
tion of the next congress.

Speculations Concerning Russia and
Great Britain.
Special Telegram to Tim BEE.
LONDON , March 8. In all the capitals o :
Europe thcra is a general idea that Russia
does not want war , but that she does intend
to take advantage of England's present Afri
can embarratsment in order to grab all that i
is safe to touch , short of provoking actual
hostilities , England wants war even lees , bu
she is in an awkward position , having declare
that certain things would bo a casus belli , an
these thlups Russia has coolly done. The
Russian forces ou the frontier are in command
of General Komaroff , who IB a hot-headed
Slavophle , and who , quite likely , has exceeded
at least the spirit of his Instruction ! ) , but the
imperial authorities are too proud to order
him to withdraw. On tbo other hand , En-
glaud has had to solve her doubts of the
ameer's fidelity by giving pledges to
defend every inch of territory. ' It
seems difficult to discover whether
the territory In dispute really balpngs to the
ameer or not , for there is a mass of testimony
ou both sides , but nothing closer than that
three years ago the Ilussian frontier wu G30
idUs from Herat , and now it is .vehort march
from Herat. The frontier , ra-arraoged by the
Russians in the recent general Vaff inap , is
only thirty miles distant. The Isj&t inform
ation is that Russia baa sent anolner concilia
tory assurance that she will maksf no fuither
advauce on Herat , and that Lord Granville ,
after a long consultation with the/cabinet , has
decided to answer that this assurance is very
gratifying , but that the Russian/force / must
positively retire from the disputed territory
which it now occupies. This tae.llusslan au
thorities have already twice declined to do.
Eviryone knows that m-ithcr country is in
tny condition for war. Russia's chronic
bankruptcy needs no comment , but it is some
thing for England to ho as hard tip as she is
now. *
