Superfluous Clerk?, Etc.-Captaln Lite' Gall N'o New Development In Regard to the rostoflice. Nominations of Foreign Ministers Sont to thq Senate Death of the Now Assistant Secretary. SUPERFLUOUS POSITIONS. Chief of Ilarenns Reporting Names of Persons That Are Not Needed. Frecial to the 8entlnel. Wahiin .ton, March 23. Very little difficulty will be encountered by Secretary Manning's committee in finding many enperflnons positions in the Treasury Department. No aooner did the Secretary announce his determination to reduce the forco than the chiefs of divisions begin looking arennd and reporting the names of men who were not needed. It is tstated that about one-third of the positions now filled in the department can be abolished according to the information furnished by chief of divifcions. It is wonderful how these chiefs conform to the whhes of the powers that be. Three months ago your correspondent nude a tour of tbe Treasury Department and suggested to about half of the chiefs that it was proposed by the incoming party to make vacancies by reductions of the forces. Not one of them was there but that declared there was not a single person employed there wh03e services could be dispensed with. They all said the work was far behind and the fores too small. Now they assume the opposite position and point out scores of employes who do cothing, and whocan be disposed of just as well as net. It makes all the difference in the world vi hoi e ox is cored. This new turn of tbe chiefs in the Treasury has brought tons of maledictions npon their heads. They are cursed, cuffed, kicked and bandied about like foot-balls around political centers, not receiving the respect of any party. Not all the chiefs are guilty of this despicable duplicity, treachery and sycophancy, but most of them are. Th8 Republicans are congratulating themselves that some good may come of the change of administration in cleaning oil' the ship's barnacles. The Monumental Gall of Captain Eads. Special to the Sentinel. Wasfiikgton'i March 23. Captain Eids, of jetty and ship-canal fame, is a maa of monumental gall. He has for years had a crip on the improvements cf the Mississippi Hiver that was simply astonishing. He came in for local and general improvements to the complete exclusion of men who lived at tbe point where the work was to re done. And what was still mere astonishing he obtained by Eone means or other the influenae of members and Senators in his competition with residents of their own districts. Instanca the bill to give him a $7,.30O,O00 contract oa the Galveston harbor in the last Congress, which was supported by the Galveston and other Texas members, apainst the bids of men living in that State. Surely he ha? proved Inn self all-powtrful, and continues hß audacious jropesitions for continuing work for the Government, notwithstanding the fact that he is'receiving a princely salary for supervising tbe improvement of the Miitissippi. This maa Mads, it appears, has taken it into his head that the American people have cf xne to the almost unanimous conclusion that he is the only man who can co npass the needs of the country in i:iproving her waterways. It Is now itat 1 in newspaper circles here that he propo vs to eatiify the small minority that he is actually indispensable, and has put money in the recently-purchased National Republican for the purpose of expounding thenecessiry conclusive argument. Captain Eads always turns up at the lint cession of Congress, no matter if it finds him in the uttermost part of the world, and proposes schemes new for distributing millions of the surplus dollars. It is the wonder now ivhat scheme he has in mind. Special Agents lleqatre No Civil Service Examination. Special to tbe Sentinel. Wasiiiroto:, March 23, "The special agents' rrarch will be played In a few days In all ofj the departments," observed an A udltor to day. "The order for the dismissal of twenty special agents from the Tostoftlce Department," continued the able Auditor, "is only to lee how the thing works. Few of them will be retained In any department." ' Will It not Impair the service to dismiss to many ct thessold and experienced mn at one time?" I aiied. "N became they operate almost wholly tinder instructions from the departments. If experience is any good It will be dlitiibuted through the chiefs, who giro instructions. Of course some of the old men still bo retained, on account of their excel lent work, and through the Interposition of Influential Democratic friends, but It is my judgment that not ruote than one In ten villi be In their plates a six-month bene." 'I i not the iprcial agents roll too lirt In ri ost of the departments ? "Yei, and they have been made too lare ty the demagogues in the Home and Senate, who howl ou r it every year when the appropriation bills art up, They comt t; tat

departments and ask to have this friend and that one put in somewhere without civil service examination. Well, of course, the special agents' roll is the only place they can go on, and there they go, until the list is abnormally large. Half of the special agents are superfluous, and the dismissal! that are occurring are for the purpose of making vacancies which will not be filled." Nothing New Regarding the Indianapolis Post masters hip. 8; edil to the Bentlne.i. Washington, March 23. If there is anything new regarding the Indianapolis Postmastership, Indianians here do not know it to-night. 'Ihe Sentinel correspondent made diligent inquiry of those who are supposed to be controlling the matter, and they disclaimed any knowledge as to when the appointment will be made cr who he will be. There has been little said upon the subject for several days. It is understood the Postmaster General sent all the papers concerning the casa to the President the latter part of last week. Thsre are tnose who believe they may bs laid before the Cabinet to-morrow, and a nomination fixed npon. Some telieveanew man will be appointed, and that a surprise will bs sprung when the nomination goes to the Senate. No new name3 are being used, however.
