Washington, Sept. IT. Secretary Carlisley asked for tho Immediate resignation of

Jeremiah O'Rourke of Newark, S. J., supervis-ing architect of tho Treasury Department, Theletter requesting the resignation was handedMr. O'Rourke shortly before 4 o'clock this after-noon. Mr. O'Rourke was appointed by Secre-tary Carlisle, shortly after the advent of thepresent Democratic Administration, succeedlncW, J, Kdbrooke of Chicago. He was one of adoen prominent applicants and was backed po-

litically by Senators Smith and McPhersou ofSew Jersey, and. In fact, by tho whole Demo-cratic delegation of Sew Jersey, besides by anumber of prominent architects of the Sorthand Kast.

Several times within the past year he has, inthe conduct of bis oltlce, had friction with hissuperior officers and with under officials ap-pointed by Secretary Carlisle. One of the latestmisunderstandings, it Is said, took place withW. It. Fleming, i lilef ot the law and contractdlvisloiinf his office.

lie Thinks the Democrats Will HoU TheirOwn irThry Present u t'nlted Front,

Wasiiimitox, Sept. IT.- - Fourth AssistantPostmaster-Uenera- l Robert Maxwell appeura tobe greatly exercised over the prospects of theDemocratlo party In New York. He sajs hecannot get away from Washington while thepressure of bis official duties Is to great, nor runbe obtain any satisfactory Information from hisfriends in Sew York, In discussing the situa.tlon be said that he does not take thedespondent view of the Congressional tight InSew York that some of hts Democratic brethrendo. On the contrary, he contends that the Dem-ocrats w 111 hold their own in ew York, and thatalthough the Democratlo majority iu the nextCongress maybe reduced, still they will retaina good working force, sufficient to control theorganization of the House, So far as the SewYork State election is concerned, lie does notlook for the election of a Republican Governor,Srovided the Democracy bury their factional

und preseut a united front to theforces under the leadership of Tom Piatt. Thelatter Mr. Maxwell regards as a political Jonah,and points to the fact that Mr. Piatt has neverled a successful tight since he became promi-nent in Sew York politics.

iloth political committees here are deeply In-terested In the peculiar situation In Sew YorkSlate. The light there is regarded as the mostimportant as relating to the next Presidentialelection of all the contests of this fall. The indi-cations In this morning's despatches that theRepublican nomination will be made at the dic-tation of Tom Piatt are unsatisfactory to Re-publicans who are Interested In the party as anational organization. It Is not that there is anyparticular objection to Mr. Morton, but the 'actthat if nominated be would be recognized asPlatt'a man. and this would weaken an other-wise strong candidacy.

There la mnch dissatisfaction stood g the re-

formers who are desirous of effectlnit the down-

fall of Tammany Hall n Ith tho composition ofthe Heidi Hall Committee of Seventy, which baaassumed to direct the war against the Wigwamand furnish the (lenerats .therefor after theother fellows have spent their lime and moneyIn organizing the armies. This feeling that theSeldl Hall gentlemen, with their Committee, nfSeventy, are trying to reap the benefit of the

organlratlon, which ban beengoing on In tlie city for the past two years. Iscreating a bad Impression among the reformers,which. It Is expected, will seriously hamper thework of the committee.

Representatives of the Oood flovrrnmentclubs are specially displeased with the make-u- p

of the committee, despite tho fact that tbeyhaven good representation on It, Including J.Augustus Johnson. President of their Confed-

erated Council, and W. Harris Itoome, Chair-man of their adjourned County Convention. Theydo not like the committee for many reasons,chiefly because It Is not so representative as Itshould be. The Oood Government Club move-

ment Is not confined to a section or n class. Ithas been extended throughout the city and hasenlisted all sorts of men In Its work. They don'tlike tho committee because only one member ofIt lives below Fourteenth street, and be only ashort distance below It. He Is Lawrence J. n

and Is the only on thelommlttee.

The Uissl Government Club reformers, too.are dissatisfied with tho number ofRepublican politicians whom Mr. Ijtrocquo haschosen. They cannot understand bowmen liketlen. Anson O.Mcfook, who aspired to succeedJacob M, Patterson as Republican boss In SewYork, Gen. Charles A. T. Cotlls, n district leader,and James A. lllanchard, can sink their parti-sanship and w ork consistently for a n

ticket.Another grievance which these enterprising

young politicians are said tohavo was occasionedby a discovery tbey made when they undertookto anal) ro the strength of tho committee. Mr.Preble Tucker, it Is said, found that fully one-I- I

nil of the members had not evinced sufllrlcntInterest In national, Stnte.ormutilclpalnffalrs toregister or vote for several years.

There Is little faith among the flood Govern-ment Club men that tho Committee of Seventywill satisfactorily accomplish the purpose forAiilcli it was formed, und. In anticipation oftheir failure, W, Harris lioomc nunotiuccd yes-terday that ho will call the Good GovernmentClub's County Convention to reconvene InVienna Hall on Sept. '3. This meeting will liefor the purpose of milking noiuinntions,und It israiled so as to get n ticket Iu the field ahead ofthe Republicans, who will hold their CountyConvention mi Sept. 127. Mr. Itoome said:" Tho Good Government clubs will not loparty to nny deals for a division of the spoils ofoffice. We prefer n union of allforces, but It must not lie brought about by unyde.il. If tho union does not suit us we shall runour own ticket and stand up to bo counted. Wodo not make great pretensions ns to numliers,but we have 11,000 voters 111 our clubs, and theyare certainly something of n force."

Mr. Gustuv II. Schwab said yesterday that thelist of mimes of gentlemen who dicllncd toserve on t lie Committee of Seventy which hitslieen published wns not complete, and that allthose who declined bad good reason fordoingso. He did not sny what the reasons were, butsome Tammany men asserted that one of thereasons In tlie caso of several Is that they, likeCommodore, Gerry, aro satisfied with tlieeconomical government which Tammany Hallhas given the city for the past six years.

The Committee of Seventy will meet and or-ganize in the rooms of the Chamber of Com-merce at -- ::I0 o'clock afternoon.

DKt'Kir wii.i. SAiir. xo osr.lie Is Not m Delrtcatr nnd 'Will Not Attend

the Convention.The announcement that Dr. Chnuncey M.

Depew would attend the Republican State Con-vention for tho purpose of presenting tho namoof Mr. Morton wns evidently made without theauthority of tho Doctor, who denied the storylast night and said that It was not his Intentionto go to the Convention. It seems thnt the Doc-tor was Invited to expend some of his eloquenceIn a eulogy of Mr. Morton before tho State Con-vention, but he declined te servo In the capacityof eulogist.

In bis Interview with n, reporter on hisreturn from Kuropo last Friday Dr. Depew saidthat he would not make, a declaration In favorof any candldate.despito the fact that Mr.TbomasC. Piatt had been quoted as saying that he (theDoctor) would announce himself as favorable tothe nomination of Mr. Morton. It was supposedyesterday that Dr. Depew wonld disappoint thosewho expected him to name Mr. Morton, becansobe has put himself so unreservedly on recordagainst endorsing any candidate, from whatMr. Depevr said last night at bis home in DobbsFerry It would seem that that was not tho causefor his refusal of the Invitation.

"I have lieen attending State Conventions nfthe Republican party for thirty-fiv- e years."said Mr. Depew, "nnd I must say that I ex-

pected on my return from Kurope to find that.In my absence, I had been chosen a delegate tothe Convention which Is to be held at Saratoga

When I found. Instead, that I wasnot wanted as a representative of nny constitu-ency In that Convention. I felt myself free toattend to business. There were from tlfty to onehundred urgent telegrams on my desk at theGrand Central Station soliciting appointmentsfor iniisirtant business Interviews, and I setabout attending to these,

"Within the past twenty-fou- r hours I havebeen overwhelmed with requests to go to theSaratoga Convention, but the Important busl-ne-

engagements I made when free to do sopreclude the possibility of my accepting. If Iwent some other fellow would have to lie turnedout. and I would represent no constituency. Idon't like that."

"Is it true that you were Invited to make aspeech nominating Mr, Morton, Doctor)"

" Yes."liy w horn were you Invited ?"

"tin. you may say by the State Committee.""Had jou any objection to nominating Mr.

Morton In the Convention V""Uh.iiol Nothing against Mr. Morton: noth-In- g

at ull. You may say that If I were a dele-gate to that Convention I would be there. Iwould have a candidate for Governor and Iwould make a speech for him."" If you wore a delegate, Doctor.who would bethe candidate fur whom jou would make asjieecli?"

" Well, welll I'm not a delegate."" Would It be Mr. Morton "" I'm not a delegate." rejieuted Mr. Depew,

laughing.

John J. Gorman has resigned asChairman of the Printing Committee of Tam-many Hall, and Mayor Gllroy, ns second on thatcommittee, has succeeded to tho Chairmanship.There Ian significance In this change not

on tho surface.At the meeting of the Tammany Hall Com-

mittee on Organization, held Inst Thursdaynight, on motion of James J. Martin, the Chair-man of tho Printing Committee was made, exofficio ,a member of the Executive Committee,Thus a seat In the governing body of tbe Wig-wam was made for Mayor Gllroy, who has cometo bo looked upon na tho leader of the organlt-tlon- ,

and who, as such, should have a voice andvote In Its Executive Committee. RichardCroker, while leader of Tammany Hall, wasChairman of the Finance Committee, and assuch was a member ex officio of tbe ExecutlvoCommittee. When Mr. Croker was succeededIn tne Kxecutlve Committee by Jus-tice John McUunde, no one believed that Mr.McQuado succeeded also to the leadership ofthe organization.

The action by which n place was found In thocommltteo fur Mayor Gilroy Is regarded asstrongly confirmatory of the statement thathe has taken the placo In tho orgntilrotlnn for-merly occupied by Mr. Croker. Mayor Gllroydoca not believe this, but tho other leaders hiTammany Hall do,

THIS GREAT iroOIiCHCCK YEAR.

From fas Rochttttr Dtmocrat and CfironMA." This has been a great vrar for tho wood-chuck- ,"

said John M. Low n of Benton, Yatascounty.

" Why ?" asked the reporter." Well." snld Mr. Lown. " It would seem as If '

the woodchuck had never been heard of beforeMils summer, for I never saw so much wood-chu-

literature In print as I have this season.Enrly In tho summer there was a controversy In

mid Strtam about tho ability ot thewoodchuck to climb n tree. Now every farmerand every farmer's son knows that a wooa-chuc- k,

or nt least somo vvoodchucks, can climbtrees. Tho wisxlchuckdoea not caro particular-ly about climbing a tree, but If a dog .

gets between htm and his burrow andtbern ts n tree bntiilv- - tin will It.

rather thnn stny on the ground and fightwith the dog. The woodchut k will not climb tothe top of tho trie, but will go as far as the firstlarge limb, usin which he will sit and grin at thedog burking nud gnawing tho Iwrk of tho treebelow,

" But. as I was saying. Mils has been a. greatseason for woodchuck literature. After thefact thnt woodchucks tan climb a tree had beenestablished someone ramo to the front with astory about a vv otslchuck of an Iron-gra- y color.It was reported that such a woodchuck hadbeen seen by a rorresmndent of The Sc.v on thoedge of a swamp, and some persons rame to theconclusion that this was a swamp woodchuck,something heretofore unheard of.

"Now, right hero Is where I Jump Into thearena nud take part lu tho woodchuck discus-sion, 1 am it practical man, nnd go in for facta,not theories. And lu this case I havo the factsright at home on my farm in the form of a whiteor albino woodchuck, nnd I think ho Is the onlyalbino w oodchuck on record,

"About his history? Well. It Is not a longone. I live on the old Capt. Brown form, aboutS.4 miles north of Penn Yun. In the townof Ben-ton. On tho evening of Aug. .10, as I was re-turning homo from work In the Held. Isaw something whlto out in tbe meadow.It was quito n diatunce from ine, and atthe first L'lanro 1 thought it was a whitecat. As 1 came nearer to the animal Itran Into somo weeds along the fence, and thenIt climbed to tho top of tho fence and at theralooking around. I then got a good view of It,and saw that It was not a rat, but Just whatkind uf an animal It was I could not tell. Ithought it might be. a large ferret that some onehud lost, and I walked toward the fence think-ing 1 might catch It. but when I got near itscrambled from the fence and ran Into a hole in 'the ground.

"My curiosity was now thoroughly aroused,and I determined to capture the mysterious ani-mal. So I stopped up tho hole Into which it badrun, w ent home und got a neighbor and a spade,and wo cume. back for the uurpose of diggingtbe beast out. The hole was not a deep one, andwe were soon so near the animal that I couldjmke It with a stick. As soon as it felt the endof the stick iu Its ribs It disclosed Its woodchucknature by biting at the stick, gritting lta teeth,and sounding that shrill whistle the woodchuckalwais sounds when be thinks danger la near.My neighbor then kept watch whllo 1 went totlie bouse and procured a tin box. We put thsbox over one end of tho hole and thenput a stick tn at the other end andpunched tho woodchuck Into the box.1'here was no other woodehuck In thathole. I think ho was one of a family that hadJust broken up. for woodchucks live separatelyafter they nre half grown. This was a Wood,chuck born lost spring. The place where be wascaught was beside a fence that separates twomeadow lots, und about six rods from a wood lot,1 took him home and have him now. Whenfirst raptured he was very pugnacious, but I cannt.w stroke him lightly with a small stick with-out making him ungry. He eats sweet appleand clover and is doing finely. He Is pure whitin color and has pink eves." He Is a great curiosity, and many peoplhave come to see him. No one who has seenhim had ever liefore seen an albino woodchuck.There is some one at my farm every day to sehim.
