A TOO-EFFICIENT OFFICER. - A” - " ' \n Effort to Remove a Man Who Demands that Contractors Furnish Sound Goods, special to the iudianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 15.—Some queer movements have recently been made in the Interior Department, which have caused many onlookers to ask: “What does this mean]” For a score of years or more a veteran of the war has been in charge of the stationery division of that department. It is a vast concern-—a wholesale establishment, in fact, as it snpplies hot only the department here, but also the land offices, Indian and pension agencies, etc., throughout the entire country. The old veteran in charge is quite a genius in the way of organization, and he has organized his division so thoroughly and so completely that he has secured almost perfect checks against frauds on the government by either contractors or consumers. It is confessedly the model stationery division of them all, and tho head of it has been congratulated by every administration he has served under. Some time ago there were received by the ,Stationary division from the contractor abont 30.000 sheets of a peculiar kind of cardboard, of which article large quantities are used by the department, that were pot up to the standard fixed upon at the time the contract was made. These Were promptly rejected and returned to the contractor. Thereupon that individual wrote a letter to the department, complaining that the thief of the stationery division was persecuting dim because he was a Democrat, and the chief was a Republican. Abont the same time another lot of 30,000 sheets of the cardboard were received, and were promptly rejected upon the same ground the othrefused. This brought forth another vehement assault by the contractor upon the chief, when an Assistant Secretary of the Interior tailed the chief before him, and roundly rated aim, demanding the reasons for rejecting the Jwo lots of cardboard. The chief promptly jhowed him the standard board adopted, anil ishen compared it with the rejected board. The difference between the two qualities was so plain that the assistant instantly recognized it. Nevertheless the chief was threatened with dismisal, and steps to that end were at once taken.

Some of Mr. Lamar’s Democratic friends, who knew the worth and faithfulness hf that old chief, went to him and told, him that it would not do to dismiss the officer; that he would injure himself and the service, too, by it. The proceedings for removal were at once squelched. Then the Assistant Secretary tried to have anjther man put iu over the chief; but that would .aot work, either. So the chief still remains, and ihe contractor still holds the cardboard. But what the end will be no one can tell. The contractor, it is said, is determined to get the man out of the way, so as to be able to have his stock accepted, whether it comes up to the standard or not. A number of similar games are being flayed here now. THE P.L VIK BILL. To Probability of Its Being Considered in the Lower House of Congress. pecL.i to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 15. — It is hardly probable hat Mr. Blair’s educational bill, appropriating about $70,000,000 to aid the common schools of the States and Territories, and distributing the money in proportion to illiteracy, will be considered by the lower branch of Congress at this session, or even during this Congress, although ts author succeeded in getting it before the SenIte at an early day. The measure would be About as radical in thwarting tariff reform as would a universal pension bill, and tariff reform has been decreed by a majority in the House. The educational bill seems to have lost ground recently, also. For some reason its friends are less in number and enthusiasm. People here have grown tired of hearing it discussed. Nothing so quickly clears the galleries as the debate upon this bill. The other day your correspondent saw hundreds of people rushing pell-mell from the Senate, on both the chamber and gallery floors, and presuming that the Senate had adjourned, inquired why the session was so . short. “Oh!’ exclaimed one of the fleeing auditors, kcthe Senate has not adjourned. Mr. Morgan ■bs begun to speak on the educational bill, is all!” L Such wearisoraeness will defeat any measure. W trbaspby' sPßMjtra. LcThu Secretary Hints that Its Reduction to P 910,000,000 la Not a Wise Move. Washington, Feb. 15.—The Secretary of the Treasury to-day sent to Colonel Morrison, chairman of the committee on ways and means, a communication in reply to a letter from that committee asking his opinion on a proposed joint resolution ordering the payment of the surplus m the Treasury in excess of $100,000,000 on the public debt. In his reply the Secretary quotes the languago of the resolution, which provides that whenever the surplus or balance in the Treasury, including the amount held for redemption of United States notes, shall exceed the sum of $100,000,000 it hall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to apply such excess, in sums of not les3 '.ban $10,000,000 per month daring the existence >f such surplus, to the payment of the interest aaaring indebtedness of the United States payable at the option of the government, and says: “The language of this resolution is such as to include in the surplus or balance in the Treasury the amount held for redemption of United States notes. This is in no sense a surplus, but is set apart and appropriated as a minimum security and reserve for the redemption and payment of $346,681,016 of the United States notes which have boon issued, both of which are specifically promised in the act of March 18, 1869* {R. 8. 3693.) This reserve, amounting to $100,000,000, should, of coarse, be held above all possibility of an encroachment like that which my distinguished predecessor, Mr. MuCulloch, in his lsst annual report, page 32, which lam constrained to exhibit and deplore. The resolution now before me requires last there should be at no time a surplus in the

Treasury, available for the general needs of the government, to exceed $10,000,000, and that when this sum is reached it should be immediately paid upon tho public debt. After nearly twelve months’ experience in t\e conduct of this department, and forecasting as well as I am able the future requirements of the Treasury, as now decided by existing laws, and as they may be affected by legislation yet to come, and considering the course of future receipts, which are liable to influence from many causes, such as the fluctuation of imports, the prolonged depression of trade and the marketing of more or less of our agricultural products abroad, I cannot now foresee a state of things which will make it prudent to limit the surplus reserve in the Treasury to a sum ranging from nothing to a maximum of $10,000,000. “The legislation now before Congress relating to pensions will, if perfected, increase the demands npon the Treasury to an amount which it is impoesibl© to estimate, and a late decision of the Supreme Court subjects the government to the repayment of duties collected, the aggregate of which is large, but altogether indefinite. These things are mentioned to remind the committee that neither the calls upon the Treasnry nor the exact time that such demands must be met, can be precisely foreseen. It would seem to follow, as a business proposition, that if the government is to maintain its credit in the sense of being prepared to meet all just debts which are impossible of ascertainment in advanco, there should be a reasonable sum laid by or Kept on band for that purpose.” ABOUT REMOVALS. Private and Unofficial Papers Will Not Be Sent to the Senate. Washington, Feb. 15. —The following letter was sent to-day to the President pro tempore of the Senate: “Department of thf Interior, ) Washington, D. C., Feb. 13, 1886. £ “The President pro tempore of the Senate: “Sir—l have the honor to acknowledge receipt of Senate resolution of tho sth insfc., in words as follows: '‘Resolved, That the Secretary of the Interior be directed Cos communicate to thq Senate copies of all papers which have been filed in tho Interior Department, and all papers which have been presented to any officer of that department touching the official and personal conduct of Henry Ward, Indian inspector, during his continuance in said office. “I transmit all the official papers on file in the department which I understand to be embraced by the resolution. The official reports made to this department by Henry Ward, as United States Indian inspector, are voluminous, and as the clerical force of this department is limited and otherwise fully employed, I have deemed it best to transmit the original reports. As they are frequently consulted in the transaction of the business of the department, I have the honor to request that they be returned to the files as soon as they are no longer required by the Senate. lam directed by the President to say that if tho object of the resolution is to inquire into the reasons for the suspension of Mr. Ward, these papers are not to be considered as constituting all the evidence submitted to him in relation thereto. I am also directed by the President to say that he does not consider it consistent with the public interests to transmit copies of unofficial papers from.private citizens, held in my custody for him, which relate excinsiveiv to the suspension of incumbents. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, “L. Q. C. Lamar, Secretary.” There are 2SB inclosures. The letters and accompanying papers were referred to the committee on Indian affairs.

THE SILVER QUESTION. The Coinage, Weights and Measures Committee Unable to Agree. Washington, Feb. 15.—The silver fight was renewed in the House committee on coinage, weights and measures to-day. A bill entitled “An act to maintain the parity of silver and gold” was introduced as a substitute for all other bills on the silver question. It provides that, as tho faith of the United States is pledged to the restoration of silver on an equality with gold, that the President be authorized no make treaties with foreign powers to open their mints to the free coinage of silver, etc, aud appoint commissioners to conduct the negotiations. The bill was defeated by a vote of 9to 4. Those voting in the affirmative were Messrs. James, Hemphill. Rockwell and Scott. Those voting iu the negative were Messrs. Biand, Lanham, Seymour, Norwood, McCreary, Bynum, Little, Felton and Fuller. Mr. Hemphill, in order to test the sense of the committee, and at the same time disclaiming sympathy with the object of the bill, moved to report favorably Mr. Reagan’s bill to provide for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. The motion was lost —yeas 4, nays 8. The votes in the affirmative were cast by Messrs. Lanham, McCreary, Bynum and Biand, and those in the negative by Messrs. Soymour, Hemphill. Norwood, Scott, James, Rockwell, Little and Fuller. Representative Bynum then moved to report adversely Representative Waite’s bill to suspend, until further legislative action, so much of the act of Feb. 16, 1878, as provides for the coinage of standard silver dollars. Mr. Bynum’s motion was lost—yeas 6, nays 6. Those voting in the affirmative were Messrs. Lanham, Norwood, McCreary, Bynum. Fuller and Bland; those voting in the negative were Messrs. Seymour, Hemphill, Scott, James, Rockwell and Little, NOMINATIONS CONFIRMED. List of Appointees Whose Nominations Were Confirmed on the 10th.

Everybody who has seen the Hon. William M. Evarts, of New York, will remember his cadaverous appoarance, for, although a man above the medium in height, he will not weigh to exceed 110 pounds. One of the Senate door-keepers says a few days ago a solid, substantial-lookmg farmer, from .the interior of New York State, seated himself in the gentlemen’s gallery and asked to have Mr. Evarts pointed out to him. It was at the hour of noon, and only a few members were in the chamber. Pretty soon Dan Voorhees emerged from the cloak-room and strode majestically to his seat. “Is that Evarts!” exclaimed the old man, enthusiastically. “No.” said the door-keeper; “that is Mr. Voorbees. ot Indiana.” When General Logan, a few minutes later, entered the chamber and deposited an armful of books upon bis desk, the old man clutched the door keeper excitedly and said: “That’s him—that’s the great Mr. Evarts, ain’t it?” Again the door-keeper explained his error. When Mr. Evarts did enter tho old man looked at him long and earnestly. “By Gosh!” said he, in a commiserating tone “I’ll bet he boards.” Miscellaneous Notes; Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS The Daily Chronicle of Happenings of All Kinds in the Two States. Infatuated with a Hotel-Keeper—Reward for the Arrest of the Man Who Assaulted Miss Aldridge—Notes and (gleanings. INDIANA. A Youug Woman Who Is Infatuated with a Logansport Hotel Man, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Logansport, Feb. 15. —Mrs. Addie Vignale, of Cincinnati, arrived in this city early yesterday morning, in quest of her seventeen-year-old daughter. A recital of the facts of the case reveals the story of a strange infatuation. Several months ago, Mr. A. C. Barnett, owner of the new Barnett Hotel, visited Cincinnati, and while there made the acquaintance of Cora Vignale, a beautiful young girl who stood behind the cigar case in Burnet House. The girl became madly infatuated, and when Mr. Barnett returned flooded him with letters. Last Wednesday he was startled by the girl presenting herself before him and announcing that she had come to stay. By earnest persuasion she was induced-to go to relatives in Dayton, O. The affair was not made public until to-day, when the mother came to this city in search of the girl. They are poor but eminently respectable people in Cincinnati Both mother and daughter took part in the last May festival. fLively Time in a Crawfordsville Court, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Crawfordsville, Feb. 15. —There was a regular “tempest in a teapot” at the court-room this morning. The cases against Mrs. Woolsey, of Waveland, came to trial. All the State witnesses were missing in most of the cases. Finally one witness was found who testified against her. This was the signal for the fun to commence. Mrs. Woolsey arose, and for two honrs made a lengthy speech, denouncing Prosecutor Anderson and J. H. Burford as “low-down pups,” all the time yelling at the top of her voice. The judge looked at her and kept quiet. Her husband undertook to bring her speech to a close, and so did her attorney, J. R. Courtney, but all to no purpose. Finally Courtney threatened to withdraw as her attorney unless she ceased her abuse. She then got out into the hall and until 10 o’clock raved like a maniac. Courtney introduced a motion declaring Mrs. Woolsey insane, which was promptly overruled. The Judge then fined her $25, and gave her until to-morrow morning to pay it, stay it, or go to jail. A similar case was tried by a jury aeraiust C. W. Woolsey, and he was fined S2O. Their daughter was also fined S2O, and released on good behavior. The parties are Enelish, and openly denounce all the people of Waveland as “God-forsaken.” On all other occasions when cases were brought against Mrs. Woolsey she would faint away, and the officials would have to remove her and apply restoratives.

ILLINOIS. Rewards Offered for the Capture <>f the Man Who Assaulted Miss Aldridge. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Windsor, Feb. 15. — The people of Windsor seem to be waking up at last to the importance of the occasion, and the City Council, in a meeting to-day, offered a reward of S3OO for the apprehension and conviction of the perpetrator of the crime which came so near causing the death of Miss Georgia Aldridge. F. D. Yoris has gone to Springfield to try and induce the Governor to offer the customary reward of S2OO, and a special meeting of the Board of Supervisors of Shelby county has been called to consider the matter ot offering SSOO additional reward, which will swell the sum to SI,OOO. This, it is thought, will induce good detectives to take hold of and work up the case, and, if possible, capture the guilty man. The young lady who made such a narrow escape from the hands of her would-be ravisher is gradually improving, and can now give a few more facts concerning the shoeing incidents of Friday night. She says that the man who committed the crime, after hanging her to the limb of the cherry tree a second time, went into the house and was frightened away by her brother coming home. The man rushed past her swaying body and made his escape at the rear of the lot Sentiment is divided as to whether a citizen of Windsor who is suspected is guilty or not, but the officers have collected considerable evidence, which may lead to additional “pointers” in the casa Prominent men here say that if the person guilty of the deed should be found, and the facts proved against him, no questions wonld need be asked as to the punishment he would receive; but as the case stands at present, all are trying to keep cool and await developments. In addition to previous suspicious, a young man of a neighboring city who sought to pay the victim attentions last summer is now added to the list, and inqniries concerning his whereabouts on Friday night are now being made by the proper officers. While the perpetrator of the deed did not seem to be at all in a hurry, or careful as to covering up his tracks, he seems to have left little behind by which he can be traced. Extraditing a Forger.
