Ilemoiistrating Against Kolla McT.augliliti tietting LiceiiMc. Acting under the Nicholson law the Good Citizens League is circulating a petition remonstrating against a license being granted by the Board of Commissioners to Rolla McLaughlin, the South State street saloon keeper to sell liquor in the Second ward.

At the city election in May 1894 there were 298 votes cast for Mayor, and the law requires that the names of a majority of the voters be secured on a remonstrance. The League claims they are meeting with success in their canvass and will have the requisite number of names before the meeting of the Commissioners. If they do this and Mr. McLaughlin is refused license, it will prevent his applying again within two years, All of the saloons of Greenfield are within the precincts of the second ward.

R1YERS AUD HARBORS

Complaints Made by the Disbursing Officers.

LABORERS CLAMOR FOR MONEY.

Officials Reluctant to Dincuss the Question, but Say That the Responsibility For Present- State of Affairs Is Not Theirs Payments on Account of lliver ami Harbor

Work at Present Are Unusually Heavy. WASHIXCTTOX, Aug. 20.—The war department is in almost, daily receipt of complaints from the disbursing officers in the various river and harbor districts of the country concerning ^ie delay in forwarding money from the treasury department in response to their requisitions. These complaints represent that in many cases contractors and laborers are clamorous for money, which in some cases lias been due for three or four months.

The war department officials are reluctant to discuss the question, but admit that complaints are made and that instead of being confined to any one or two districts they are quite general. There has been especial criticism from the Detroit and St. Louis districts in each of which the government is in arrears to the extent of about §150,000.

The war department officials say that the responsibility for rhis state of affairs is not theirs. It has been the practice heretofore for the engineer officers in charge of the river and harbor work in the various districts to send in their requisitions at or about the beginning of each month for the money supposed to be necessary to meet the expenses of the month. The chief engineer forwards them promptly giving lull credence to the estimates of the subordinate officers in the field, but the treasury department, it is said, now shows a disposition to withhold settlement longer than was formerly the case.

War department officials complain that this has had the effect of keeping the government in arrears to employes, of causing criticism of their department and of hardship to persons dependent upon this work. In the case of the work in the Detroit district, for instance, it is reported that General Poe, in charge of the work there,jfvas compelled to send two telegrams'irging attention to his requisition before he could get the money upon it. Rumor placed the amount of requisitions withheld at from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000, but the chief of the warrant division of the treasury when seen said this report was an exaggeration and that his books show that ouly little over #000,000 in requisitions stand unpaid.

The requisitions for river and harbor work co ie from the war department, and when endorsed as immediately necessary, are. according to Air. McLennan, forthwith paid over to the engineer in charge. It was the custom, it was explained, at the treasury department, until lie administration of Secretary Foster, to issue warrants for requisitions of officers in charge of river and harbor work immediately on their receipt. But under Secretary Foster's direction a change was ordered by which the luiuwiil's standing to the credit of disbursing o!iiv \-, were reduced from over £-J0,(!i'o,vV)0 to .•» 20,000,uu0. This change was the result of an investigation which showed flic requisitions were often made by disbursing officers for larire sums when their balances were large aud there was, it is stated, absolutely no immediate use for the money for which they called. The result of the change in methods, treasury oificials say, has been to keep in the available balances of the treasury many millions which under the former system sin mid have been tied up as credit balances to the accounts of disbursing officers.

The books of the warrant division show at present that payments on account of river and harbor work are unusually heavy. Over $1,700,000 was paid to disbursing officers last month and over $2,(00.000 for the L) days of the present month, or at the rate of $30,000,000 a year. The appropriations for the fiscal year which ciosed July 1, 1895, were $".)O,0-l-1,00O, and for the present year ending July 1, lti'JU, they aggregate £11,452,000.

BIMETALLIC LEAGUE.

After ail Address by the Chairman They Proceed to !Jo Business. SAN FKANCISCO, Aug. 20.—The American Bimetallic league held its opening session yesterday afternoon. The assemblage is called the nonpartisan silver convention: its objects are to sing the praises of the white metal and to take such conci5Vled measures as shall produce uniled aud effective interest in its behalf. Ui the N00 member oi the ^invention over tiOO arepreseut. The business of organizing occupied the attention of the convention.

After an opening address by Chairman C. W. Baker, in which no welcomed the, workingnten present, but lamented I he absence of bankers and bondholders, rhe usual committees were ajpointed. C. Poweniug, a Reno editor, was introduced as rhe old warhorse of silver and made an address in which he said that Nevada would never support an anti-silver candidate for president.

Keeeivers Appointed.

LIMA, O., Aug. 20.—It has just leaked out that last Friday N. E. Mathews and J. R. McUrew were appointed receivers of the Ohio Southern railroad, supplanting George W. Saal. For some time there has been friction between Saal and the first mortgage bondholders, and it is si^pposed that Calvin S. Brice has espoused the cause of the latter.

Nothing Official llecoivod.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—-No reports have been received at either the state or navy departments concerning the troubles between Bolivia and Peru. At present the United States has no warships in th§ waters of either of these countries, but in case of hostilities both the Alert, at Panama, and the Ranger, at Guayaquil, are available to look after American interests.
