C. , May 4. There Is going to bo n first-class fracas over tlio selection of n chairman to the dem ocratic national commlttco to All the va cancy created by the death of Mr. Harnum. No sooner did the wires from Connecticut spread the news of Chairman Bnrnum's death than the friends of Senator Gorman , of Maryland , began to sot IIP the pins for the position made vacant. They began to telegraph - graph to members of the national committee , nnd these who had Influence with them , urg ing the necessity of Senator Gorman's selec tion'"as a recognition of his past services and n proper place for his abilities in thu future. " The wires wcro kept busy for forty-eight hours , nnd the arrangements wcro being completed admirably for tho- tariff protection wing of the party , when Speaker Carlisle , Mr. Mills , the Breckln- rldges , and other free traders m the lower house of congress , heard of the work , and Jumped to the telegraph to institute a coun ter movement. They were alarmed , and said the Gorman faction were laboring in the In terest of Governor Hill for the presidency In 1893 , whllo Mr. Cleveland was the man wanted by the bulk of the party. Counsel on the part of the wlso heads was asked. Delay was the thing desired. There was no ricccsslty tor speedy action. The minority o'f the party should not rul.3. Democracy meant "tariff reform , " and not a step back ward from what It hns been. These were the sentiments sent out by the Carlisle- Mllls-Brccitinridgo crowd In opposition to Gorman. It had an effect , too. A meeting extraordinary of the rational committee was the thing desired by the Gorman crowd , if a pledge could bo secured in advance for the election of their man. There is no call yet. It is not likely that any stop will bo taken for some months now. Meanwhile , the knif ing -will proceed. It is believed thnt it will result In a split in the tariff and anti-tariff factions of the party , whether a successor is elected to Baruum now or two years hence. THE rosTorriCE SITE. Supervising Architect Wlndrlm returned his desk and had consultation to to-day , a long tion with Congressman Council in relation to the Omaha building sito. Ho has not yet Riven any Intimation of what his decision will be , and said to THE BEE correspondent this afternoon that it would probably be several duys before ho will got his paper * in Bhupo to present them to the two mon who form the commlttco with him. It is not likely that the decision in this matter will bo reached before tbo latter part of next week. STRIKING A 1IAI.ANCR. It is stated in ofllclal circles that a way has been found to bring together Senators bhcrman and Quay , It will bo remembered that the latter senator took offense at the former for urging ex-Governor Hart , , of Ohio , for the position of solicitor of internal revenue when Senator Quay contended that It was agreed between him and the Ohio delegation that Judge Gllkinson. of Bristol , Pa. , was to have tno place. Gllkinson is to bo made judco for the United States court for the northern district of Florida , so It is stated. Senator Sherman1 * friends say that the Ohio senator did not ask for Gilklnson's nppomttnnnt , and that it was brought about v-lhrough the personal mflucnco. at Senator Quay and Is the outgrowth of a contention between th6 factions in Florida. The Flor- _ lda republicans presented two candidates -JiPna for a while it seemed as though they could not como together. At a time when * r.they were farthest apart Senator Quay pre- * 'seated Judge Gllkinson , and the report goes ' 'that ' ho' was accepted. Gilklnson , if appointed - , pointed to this place , will have a bettor berth ' than ho would have received had be been appointed sallcitor of internal revenue. NEI1UA8KA T > EtK < J.VTE3 WILL CONFER. Representative Dorsoy was hustling around the wblto house and the departments in the interest of his to-day working con stituents who wantofllco. Ho stated that ho bud not been as successful as ho wished , pwingtothc strong civil service leaning of the administration. Ho found himself barred out in many places by tha extension of the civil service rules. Mr. Dorsoy will go homo como time next week. It Senators Mu dor- BOU and Paddock arrive hero in time there Will bo a confcrenco between them and Representatives Connell und Dorsoy in re gard to the distribution of the larger federal ofllces for Nebraska. They intend to try to agree upon some one of the four or five can didates for a position on the intor-stato com- tnerco commission. Groff and Grevis are being urged upon the delegation for recogni tion. Representative Laird Is not expected Co attend the coufcronco us hu continues very ill and unable to give personal attention to his work. HOI'B FOR THE HUNGRY. Those who have talked most to the presi dent ana tbo members of his cabinet during the past three days , say there will bo little , If any , ground for complaint on the part of the most anxious republicans who want office , bccauso "changes have not been made . vapidly enough. " It is understood that now 'the ' ofUco-seeKors and men in congress have thinned out pretty well the president and his ' counsellors have nn opportunity to take up the complicated cases which have blocked the way to many appointments , nnd get them , off their hands. Tno reason thcro have not Vocn more changes mode in the consular Borvice , when Secretary Blulno got a large number of cases for removal and appolnt- pcnt ready some weeks ago , Is because there nave been urgent demands for immediate Motion on ofllces located in the states and ter ritories , which affect the local service and Citizens of the United States. Everything can not bq done In u day. The people who O to the white house nnd the departments frequently marvel that half that is done can t > o accomplished. So tnuny demands are jaiado for .the hearing of verbal statements , Jvhen papers are presented , it is a wonder che latter are over examined as they must bo before npjxjtntmont * are made. 11ECOQNIZINO THE COLOUKU MEN. Secretary Noble to-day began tbo general recognition which Is to bo given the colored . by appointing its representative mnn Kco. south to federal positions in iho north trad west. He appointed James A. Spollnmn , bf Mississippi , to bo u special timber agent , * vlth his Hold in the west. Secretary Noble - Itatod to' your correspondent that he intend- to appoint n number of other colored mon .0 positions under his department in tuo hind , [ nuian and pension serviceaa indicated some ; uuo ago. It is believed that it will be the setter policy to appoint colored men to places ocatcd In u section of the country where they will receive the moral support of the citizens around thorn mia where the elements two most favorable , rather than to give them places lu the south where the negro haters fere situated. Moro than anything else tha pocupunoy of federal offices in tbo south by colored men bos bad a tendcnoy to create political dissensions und brlD about political inurdors. This has to a very largo extent augmented the conditions which have made north and a south In this country. Secro- y Noble intimated that It the giving of federal oftlces to colored men In the negro- latlng sections of tbo south has really con tributed materially to making a divided lorth and a south bo will do nil he can to ireak down the poliov , and at the same time lo moro for the colored people us a race tuun ill been done in the past.

Hotel Clerk's Testimony. TVoocd Ills Brother's Wifb. CHICAGO , May 4. [ Special Telegram to THE I3nn. ] Carter's aide of the noted di vorce case closed to-day nnd the court took n recess until Monday. A dudish young man from Now York , who Bald his name Was James Curtis Butler Andrews , n son-in-law of C. II. Fargo , testified to having teen Mrs. Carter dining In Now York nt the Fifth Av enue , wltU E. 13. Sheldon nnd Joseph Ord , nnd another time nt Oolmontco's with Kyrlo Belloxv. At the Fifth avoauo dinner ho heard Mrs. Carter cnll n messenger and send him with a note to Hollow for theater tick ets , remarking as she did so : "Kyrlo never coos back on mo. " Bradford IJntton , who was night clerk of the Magnolia house nt St. Augustine , Fin. , In 1835 , when Mrs. Carter wns there , told how slio used to stay out Into at night. Quo time she met the witness in the hall nnd nslted him to call her at t > o'clock next morn ing , and not to m.-.ko nny nolso , as she did not wish the occupants of the next room awakened. Her reason for such early rising wns that she Intended going riding. It was said to-day that sotno time during next weak an attempt would bo made to bring before the Jury A recital of a scouo which will surpass , in dramatic interest , anything yet Introduced In the trial. It will be a detailed account of the visits of Mrs. Carter's husband's brother , Ernest , to her In New York , his constant criticism of her con duct , his apparent jealousy of every kind 'Word ' she spoke to nny other man. nnd llnally tno lust scene In her room In Now York , whore ho proposed to her that she complete his own brother's dishonor. It will bo claimed that she drove him from her room with indignation , and taat ho swore to her that ho would be revenged on her. Then the history of the trlil will bo reviewed with reference to Ernest Carter's connection , and an oflort'will be mada to shoxv that ho has done everything in his power to accomplish this revenge. They say it was ho and not her husband , who first Imputed Im proper actions to Mrs. Carter and demanded an explanation , which she refused to glvo him , but said she would give to Leslie.

New YOIIK , May 4. [ Special Telegram to Tun Bun. ] A special from Buffalo says that the friends of western dressed beef have received a tremendous set back m this city during the last.few days. On Tuesday evening the Jacob Dold Packing company re- ccivcd a consignment of twenty head of cattle tle- from a shipping firm in Kansas City. The car containing them passed through the stock yards without inspection , and later in the evening was received by the employes of the company and switched oft on a private truck. It chanced that a passerby happened to pass close to the car and looked in at the cattle. He saw a horrible spectacle. Fifteen of the animals were suffering from that loathsome disease known as lump jaw , and their hoiuls were a mass of festering cancers. The city cattle inspector was informed and ho at once con- dotnned the lot. Words utterly fall to do- scrlbo tbo condition of the animals. A tumor weighing over eleven pounds was cut from ono of thorn. President Summers , of the board of the board of health , and the city physician and Clark were present at the tno time , and the latter said that there was enough poison in the cattle to kill every uor- son in the st to , and that one drop of it In serted beneath the skin would kill a person in two'ity-four hours. Ho said that onto dressed no one could detect the meat from perfect beef , although it could not fail to produce n most virulent form of blood pois oning , The whole city is excited nnd a ureat clamor is going up for more thorough in spection. _ Nebraska nnd lown.

On Fobrtmry 14 a notice wns posted on 'chnugo says the Sun Francisco Chronicle , thnt a reward of $100 would bo paid by A. S. Murray for Informa tion as to the wlioroabouta of the bark Wandering Minstrel , which loft Ilono- lulu on December 10 , 1887 , on a cruise among the South Sen islands. Some tlnio afterward Mr. Murray , who is the local agent of , the South British Flro and Marino Insurance company , was tolil by a sailor who had boon at-Honolulu , but who came from the Ptigot Sound , thnt ho had scon John Cameron , who was mate of the Wander ing Minstrel , In Tacoma. Detectives were immediately sent there , but further than to learn that Cameron ha kept a saloon m Olymplnand from there had gene to Tacoma , their visit was fruitless and the fate of the Wandering Minstrel remained a mystery until yoa- torday , when Mr. Murray received ad vices from Honolulu on the steamer Umatilla. On April 6 there arrived at Honolulu the British schooner Norma , Captutn C. Johnson. The Norma had been among the South sea islands fishing for sharks. On March 17 the Norma arrived iit Mid way island , where were found Captain P. D. Walker of the bark Wandering Minstrel nnd his crow. Thov wore in a pitiable condition. The captain and his wife and four children Had been on the Island fourteen months , during which iimo they had suffered most terribly from the want of food , living on noth ing but sea birds , their eggs , and what fish they were able to catch. They were living in n rudely constructed hut nnd were in rags. Lack of food had reduced them to skeletons and they were so weak that it was March UO before - fore the sick were able to bo moved on board the schooner , which sailed at once for Honolulu. On the voyage the sailor Edward Davis Dawson , a native of Mauritius , died of scurvy. The tie- cuasccl was buried at soa. The account of the captain of the Wandering Minstrel Is one of terrible sulTorlnc on an uninhabited island. In his report ho says : "Wo loft Honolulu on December 10,1887nrrivingnt French Frigate shoals on the 18thand loft there on December 5J7. Arrived at Midway island and anchored in Welles harbor on January 9 , 1888. On the island was found C. Jorgensen , one of the ship wrecked crow of the schooner General Slcgol , who had been loft on the island when the rest of the crow were saved. The weather was fine , and a quantity of fishing gear was landed so as to com mence shark Hshing , and preparations wore'nmdo to stay a while at the island. The vessel had but a small cargo , but , besides a fine fishing outfit , had a steam launch nnd several life-boats. The month of January passed unevent fully , but Fobruaay began with stormy weather nnd heavy gales. On the 3d a furious storm prevailed , the barome ter falling to 29:80. : Both an chor chains parted , and a third anchor which was dropped wasdrnpged toward the reef. Seeing that nothing could be done to save the vessel , at 1:80 o'clock that afternoon the boats were lowered and the Wandering Minstrel was loft to her fate. She was then striking heavily on , the coral-bound saoro. A safe landing was made through the breakers , and all made themselves as comfortable as possible on shore. The storm lasted a week. The bark broke to pieces rapidly , and It was im possible to save much of the provisions , although a few tins of meat and fruit were recovered. Things now began to look serions There were fifteen people on the island , and food was daily becoming scantier , Jorgensen nnd the mat/oJohn Cameron , were together much of the time and were continually quarreling with the sailors and making themselves generally - ally objectionable. Finally , on October 15,1888 , having induced the ChinubO cook to go with them , they stole the largest lifeboat and all of the provisions in camp and sot sail. After that matters became worse , all of tuo provisions being gone. The four children and the wife of Cap tain Walker kept up nobly. About the iirst of the present year two sailors died from some disease , probably scurvy , Day after < lay passed monotonously. The children finally gave in and we're nil suffering from the scurvy , as was Mrs. Walker , when the Norma picked them up. One sailor was drowned dur ing January while fishing , the bout being capsized by a heavy sea , and ho being too weak to swim. Three native sailors who were on the island did not suffer much , and showed but little what they had pone through when they arrived at Honolulu. " The captain and his family are very thankful at their deliverance , as they would surely have starved had they re mained undiscovered on the island much longer. Captain Walker will re main at the islands until his family are once more in good health. One of his children Is very ill and may not live. Jorgcuson , who loft the island so basely , taking with him the provisions , was a very dangerous man. Ho was suspected of Killing twoof the crowof the General Sigol , and at the time tried to got away in a boat. When the crew were res cued ho was left on the island. So un bearable had Jorgensen become that Captain Walker reports but for the in terference on several occasions of iiis wife ho surely would have shot him. The boat in which the three were must have boon picked up by some vessel , or else the three reached Honolulu , and without reporting the terrible predica ment of the captain and crew sailed for this country. A naval court of Inquiry convened in Honolulu on March 12th and Justified Captain Walker in his position in rela tion to the loss of the Wandering Min- strol. The court was composed of Lieu tenant Webb , of Her Britannic Majes ty's ship Cormorant , president ; T. llaln Walker , British vice consul , and cap tain Dowers , of the British bark Royal Tar. Tar.Tho The bark Wandorine Minstrel was owned by Captain J. Pitman , of Hong Kong , and was chartered by the Hong Kong Shark Fishing company. She was Insured by the Chinese- Trading Insur ance company for $3,000 ; the Yangtze Insurance company , ft,000 ) ; the North valued at $ .r 0,000 , and was built atPotor- hcad , Scotland , in 1875 , She was 302 tons burden.
