REPORT OX THE. ASYLUM.

THE TRUSTEES SEVERELY HANDLED. The Investigating Committee Makes a Heport Casting Decided Inflections on the Hospital Trustees Gnpen Censured Committee's Keport in Full. Monday afternoon the senate received the report of the committee on the investigation of the insane hospital. A motion to print the report and the evidence caused a long debate, in which Messrs. Johnson, Hays, Howard, Rurke and Urmston participated. Mr. Burke roasted the trustees of the asylum. ITe sail the institution was rotten and should bo pursed of its rascaN. Mr. Urmston, while not not defending the management, thought the trustees did not have a fair trial, being denied the privilege of cross-examining the witnesses, but Mr. llurke replied that it was an investigation and not a trial and that the committce'a report had been based upon the evidence of the trustees themsilves. The concurrent resolution of the house to print 'AO copies was adopted. The report was as follows: Ve find that the full amount appropriated for the niairtenancv. clothing nnd repairs at the hospital bat been rcK'nljrly drawn by the treasurer, Mr. ia-n. That very oiten nnd during nil the months in M iiioh aul (ian was In the employment of John I'. Nuilivaa lar'e sunis of money, from il.'iOu to iVW weh month, would not be detailed inbank su'.j.'et to pavni.Tt of cheeks it med by said tlapen for payment ol billi allowed, hut was loaned to John 1-iwiivan nnd others, from time to time, without security, and In direct violation of law, while persons holding checks were cum illed to await tlio payment ol rame fur the want of fuud in bank. 'I hi system was continued by tlie treasurer of the board through all tli period hi- was in Die employment of said SMillivan, until finally oer r3,(Ku of the mi-nt'y received by Mr. Ijnpen from tlie täte treasury was carried oil liv said John 11. Sullivan, leavim; Mr. iaen indebted to the (und in that tum, while the person who rurnShed the icoodf and wbose biiU had leti allowed arc - at ill holding tho checks on the bank for the ni,ner, which they can not draw because of t'.ii dei.iloatiou. We rind that on Feb. 1. l"Vj, there ere outstandin; bills or unsettled accounts of various person and firm hiving claims aeain't raid hospital amounting In the airercy;te to 5l7.(".?t.9s. The.-e account have b-en ruimuiL. otne of them, s lice Nov. 1, the ttf'üiunin? of the pre nt tiscal year, and a few have been carried over from the preceding year. We have had a"ce to no books of the institution to show the receipts from products .old or frotu earnings at the h xpital, but from tlu books of the mato trt-asurer we find the amount paid in by the institution to bo for the liKcat year of lti, 1, Oil. 04, and for the fiscal year of iss,s, s.,s,6"i. We also rind that in some case where Roods were Mild or disposed of to person w ho had contracts for furnishing supplies, that the amount taken was charged to said persons on account and deducted from bills, instead of In-itiij paid into the tat treasury, as required by law. A earcitil comparison and examination has been made of the bills of several contractors allowed by the board for supplies villi their contracts, and we tin 1 that tho amounts purchased wer cenernlly much in excels of the amount named in contracts. This is espcciadv noticeable in tlie contracts for butter, rejs, poultry, suirar, coflee and tea. A tabulated statement ol Muh c unpan-on by month from March, lvST. t January, lO, inclusive, of 'ii plies above named will lie found in the .statenvnt of tiie xXTt, the requisition book of the hospital for the several months bem uniform as to the AMiount needed, while the amounts purcnased ary largely from nion h to month. Our inference i that when it was to the interest of the contractor, either on account of the reduced prii-e of tho u'oods purchased or the inferior oalitr of the icooilii accepted by such oUiccrs of the hpital whose duly it was to receive tho same, a much larger amount would be ordered than the contract called for. We also lind that the beard frequently failed to comply with Ibe law in letting cmtrac s for supplies; that when tho bids did not stilt the members of il-e boord they refits d to let the contract to anv one, Int authorized one of tbeir number to make the purchase, without any refctrictions or limitations as to price, quantity or quality. The frequency with which contract were let to John II Nillivan and others, especially where lower bids mala by cotnpt tinij bidder were rejected, leads us to infer that an unjust and unlawful discrimination and favoritism wait indulged in by the Ix ard, which prevented competition in the enle. of nipplk-s to the hospital, and compelled the lioard to pay the highest price for inferior articles. The tabulated exhibits and report of the experts to this committee disc-lose the fact that a very few p-rsons furnished thj principal supplies for the hoypit.il, and the evidence, we think, will show that a part of these persons, at leat, were ia collusion with tho board to thrust inf.i br Kood.s on the asylum at exorbitant prices. e think, also, that the amount of ods for which Contracts were made monthly was ample to supply ihn institution, yet the bills show that monthly the board pai l for a much larger amount of r uds than the contracts calied lor. The excess iu the o-.e item of t-a from March to IVceiuler of Is7( was two thousand two hundred pound ('J.'JOO lbs., and the excess ot ui;ar for the same lima wn l:t.2 pounds, while thcc.xccv ior eoib-n for the year l.sss was 1 pounds, and of tea tor the snme "year, :5,t47 pounds, an 1 the excess of suirar for that year was thirty-nine tlioiixand ciK'lit hundred and luenty-tive pound. ( 7.. II.), and many other articles in the same proportion. We tin I lh:it at the time of hi appointment a trustee, 1. M. daoen five bond in the sum of fc-VM-N), with r-amuel .'. Ilanna and Itohcrt itrowning of Indianapolis as sureties, and that said (iapen has never tile I any additional bond, and that at lca-l one of said sureties is now wholly insolvent, and that the other surety has failed financially since the execution of sa!d Inn I, but sai 1 surety, Mr. Urowninc. testified before this committee that hs was now north tfio.ooo over all of his indebted uc. We tind that said tiapen ha unlawfully appropriated to hij own use several thousand dollar of the fiit:d belonin to the hospit.il, aud that by reaon thereof he ia a defaulter for over three thousand dol.ars, and recommend that suit be instituted against Iii iu by tho proper oriictr to recover aid funds, and that the prosecuting attorney of Marion county cause auch criminal proceed inc to be commenced azainst til m as his oltense justifies. We rind that Ir. Gaibraith, as superintendent, under the direction of the president of the board, lr. Harrison, on two occasions loaned J!,n o out of the contingent funds in his hands belon in? to the hospital to John l. S.illivan, but that said sums were Mihsequently paid to him. We also find that on three or four "occ-vions State Treasurer Le in eke, at the request of Mr. tiapen, loaned money to John K. Nillivjin, taking an order on Mr. iap n a treasurer, lor said annum:, and that the amounts of said loans were deducted from the sums subsequently drawn by Mr. tiapen as treasurer, and we condemn the practice u uulawtul and lecommend its discontinuance. We nnd that the plan of issuing supplies at the hospital is loose and almost wholly without system. The amount distributed i not based upon any estimate of the amount needi d to supply tho wants of the. patients, but is determined holly by the amounts called for frotu time to time by various employes of the hospital. These supplies are not isHiied upon any requisition of the uerintendent or other superior otticer, but are issued whenever railed for by the cook or other persons calling for them, the requests being sometimes in writing and sometimes t'erbal no reo-ipt lieing taken by the Mture-kee(er for goods Issued, and no aurti ient precaution being taken to guarantee Iho safe delivery of the goods called lor at the places in which they were claimed to be needed. The efficiency and economy ot the p:c.scut method depends wholly upon the honsty of the clerks and employes. No good business man would manage his private affairs in the loose manner in which this magnificent state charity is managed. Such a loose manner of doin business and keeping accounts makes it easy lor collusion to take place, and for an extensive- waste of supplies to occur, without giving any means of detecting the same. We find that J. S. Hall, tlifl present steward and bitokk'-eper, is wholly incompetent, and should be immediately removed, ami a thoroughly coiujietent and unquestionably honest man be p.aced in the position. We find that the management of the financial aflairs of the hospital under the present board of trustees has been very bad, and that the evidence create a very strong suspicion that there has been corruption and dihouesty in the purchasing and receiving of supplies. We Dud that the present superintendent, I'r. Galbrailli, was selected with th express or implied understanding that he would not intet fere with th5 board and their appointees in the ptirchafe and receiving of supplies, and that he would not interfere with tiie appointments of said board and with th express understanding that he Would appoint I'r Howard as a physician at the hospital, without himself knowing a iything of tho qualiiications of said doctor for tho position, and that as superintendent be has failed to exercise bis proper authority iu correcting and preventing abuses at th hospital, which, taken in couuection with the fa t that be has failed to adopt any proper system to regulate tho amount of rat iocs requintl to support the Inmates of the hospital, show biiu to be not qualified to discharge the duties of so responsible a position at superintendent of our greatest charitab'e institution. We fiud that the evidence does not sup)orl the accusation of immora'.lty and Intemperance made azaint lr. Tuoiuaa, and exonerate him from said accusations. We find that tho system of keeping the accounts in the store-room at the hospital is very defective and incomplete, and that it Is impossible to ascertain from them whether the good which are claimed to have been purchased and received were actually used at the hospital. We recommend a radical change in the whole plan of keeping said accounts. Your committee find that in October, lc87, P. M. Oapen, treasurer of the board ot trustees, entered the employ of John E. hullivsn. In the produce busi-nes-s, at a salary of t-3 per week, and continued ia aid emplnrmcnt until said rnillivan's defalcation and flubt, bis duties in such position being merely nominal, it hting the evident purpose of aid t?ulllvan in sccuriug his service to also secure the use of the funds of tbe state, a well an improper advantage in the matter of furnishing supplies to the hospital, and your committee believes from tho evidence that both of said purpose were accomplished, to the very great detriment of tbe Institution, as after ssid employment said Milllvan almost always secured the contract for furnishing produce lo tbe hospital, and the amounts paid him from month to month on said ai-coiiut continued to increase until tbe sums paid him mooter exceeded by Ter a thousand dollars

the amount actually reqnirod to furnish the necessary supply of produce to the hospital, and thst the contract for the month of February, IS'J. had been awarded to said uilivati shortly before his defalcation, and would, in the opinion of ymir committee, have lo n carried oat in the usual may by said P. M. tiapen, cl.'.luiin to act as astitieof said Sullivan, but for the interference of Mr. llurrell, one of tho trustees, who caused said contract to lie canceled. While the evidence discioses the fact that there are debts outstanding against the hospital amoiuitinir to over seventeen thousand dollars, claimed loharelit'n caused by an insntlicirncy in the appropriation, your committee hebere Ihn with an honest and economical management of the husine allairs of the host dial tbe amount of funds recciv-d from time to t me would have been ample to to pay all proper and necessary expenses in carrying on the hospital. L'n some matters mentioned in the cvid 'nee the committee ma es no finding, for the reason that, on account of the limited time at their disposal, they were uur.blo to complete their inve.-tigation upon said points, and it is possible that a fuller invent igat'on miirht have placed said matters in a different light. All of which is re.pcctiullv subuii.ted. T. K. Howaro. K. t i. Hk.nkv, Thomas Shock.net, Wiu iam A. Mnows. f. A.Hays. Okor-.k S. Pi.kasasis, C CS. Co x.i, W. L Fields.

GUESSES OS TIIE CABINET.

MOST OF THEM WIDE OF THE MARK. Only Seven Gaessers Oat of Several Hundred N n m e as Many aa Three Members and P!ar Them Proper! y Winners of Our Fifty-Dollar Prize. Shortly after the presidential election, THE Sextixel o3ered a cash prize of $T0 for the best guess on President Harrison's cabinet, to accompany one years subscription to the weekly edition, or six months' subscription to the Sunday edition. The coutest ended Feb. 1. Hundreds of guesses were received. It was the original intention to priut them all but the number is so much greater than was expected that it is found impossible to surrender the large amount of space that would be required for their publication. A careful examination has been made of these truesses, with some astounding results. The greatest surprise ia the fact that not one of the hundreds of guesers name more than three members of the cabinet as it stands. It seems that a cabinet of obscurities and nonentities was not generally looked for. The name of Noble, or of Tracy, or of Proctor, is not guessed once, and the name of Rusk receives only a single mention. Windotu is only guessed once. Ninety-five per cent, of the guessers put Blaine in the cabinet, all but two or three of them in the state department. The exceptions give him the treasury. Wanamaker is named by almost as larsre a proportion, it seems to have been ceneraily understood that the man who raised c-uu,cu for the republican campaign fund would receive a good portfolio, 'three fourths of those who name Wanamaker give him the postotliee department; the others put him at the head of the navy department. Partner Miller ticures in about '20 per cent, of the cuesses, and invariably as attorney-general. He is not mentioned o often as New, Hutori or Porter. The names which occur most frequently, next to those of Blaine anil Alger, nre Sherman, Allison, Alger, New. Huston and Porter. i-iay and Dudley are found on many slates, either together or separately. Among the other names which appear with more or less frequency are those of William Walter Phelps, Warner Miller, Mahonc of Virginia, J. B. Henderson of Missouri, Bob" Lincoln, "Tom" Piatt, Clarkson of Iowa, Gorl of Wet Virginia, Chaunccy Dcpew, Maj. Calkins (twice), Estee, De Young, Stanford and Swift of California, Fora k er, Hawley, Tyner of Indiana. Ingalls, Gallinger of New Hampshire, Lew Wallace, Bradlev of Kentucky, Thompson ("Dick?" John M. Butler, McKinley, Vie of Virginia, Frye of Maine, Dorey, J. F. Wilson of Iowa, Stewart of Nevada. "Pink" Fishback (oneel, Thurston of Nebraska, Edward Everett, (?), Hicock. Hipide Mitchell of Oregon, Edmunds, Evart, George W. Steele, Teller of Colorado, Ixingstreet, Michener, Cbnrley Foster of Ohio, Bruce (colored), Thomas ol Illinois, Spoouerof Wisconsin, Foster of Iowa, nnd divers and sundry other republicans of more or less notoriety. Tlie prize of -30 will he divided equally among the seven persons who named Blaine for secretary ol state, Wanamaker for postmaster-general, and Miller for attorney-general. Several other persons ha I these three names on their slate, but tluy were not rightly placed. As stated, no one succeeded in naming so many as four members of the fearful and woudcrful cabinet built by Benjamin Harrison. The prize guesses r.re as follows: BY D. C. MITCHELL, JAMESTOWN', 1ST.

Local influences governed the market and the L'etier.ii impression was that some of the lare bull traders were e-.dliii out their May wheat. Interest centered princ ipally iu May, which opened a f-La.le weaker and, after numerous fluctuations declined to a point io helow yesterday's clesiriL', and closed S',.0 lower. rI he o erincrs were very heavy most of the day and u mat ileal of lon wheat was unloaded, lliutiL'h on the hre.ik rotisider.il.de huyini was don' on the part of shorts who sold at the tiii'iier prices. This huyinc caused occasional rallies but the feeling was very weak. July, on the other hand, ruled comparatively steady, and sold tc over and -jC tinder yesterday's closing liirures, and closed J4'c below. There was pood buying for this delivery nnd at the same time not a great tpiantity ollered. While operator have confidence in values for July they have not for May at the prices current, uulen manipulation would he re.-ortc 1 to. The fact that there is no support for the May futures accounts for the drop in prices. A moderate business was transacted in corn, and tiie feeling was comparatively rm. Considering the weak tone of wheat, the activity of the other markets, withdrew interest from the pit and trading was local and fluctuations were eonlined wiihin !,f'' 'sc rantre. There was less activity in oats, liut a fair business transpired within a narrower ranc of prices. There was an absence of the heavy realizing by lone that characterized the trading yesterday, horta were free buyers and a steadier feeling prevailed. Considerable interest centered in mesa pork nnd trading was quite active. Pricea ruled irregular, though somewhat higher. An advance of :!'.'(; 1 '."c was gained about the middle of the sosion and moderately supported. Lxtrenie iigures, however, were not fully maintained. Lard and short r;hs sympathized closely with pork. The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles. ti-i!imr j Highest, j lowest, j Closing.
