THE NEW PLAN

Secretary Carlisle Offersan Entirely New Scheme For Supervising the Treasury Architect Office. Architectural and Technical Parts Under One Head And the Administrative Attended to by Another. The Duties of Each Officer Set Forth - A Chief Supervisor with Six Subordinates - Each of These Looks After a Division, and the Whole Is Watched Over by the Secretary of the Treasury - The Scheme in Detail. WASHINGTON., Dec. 24. Secretary Carlisle today made public his plan for the complete reorganization of the office of Supervising architect of the treasury. Under this plan the architectural and technical functions will be entirely separated from the administrative. Charles E. Kemper, the present assistant supervising architect, will tarry out the secretary's plan and when fully reorganized he will take charge of the administrative branch. The secretary's present purpose is to appoint a supervising architect early in January. There are already about twentylive applicants for this position on file, but it is understood that, the secretary will not examine any of the papers until he is about ready to make the appointment. The new regulations state that in the office of the supervising architect of the treasury department there shall be a supervising architect, whose duties shall be those which are now or may hereafter be prescribed by law and the orders of the secretary. To the supervising architect six divisions are assigned as herein below set forth, the architectural and technical work of which, together with the disciplinof the force employed in such work, shall be entirely under his direction and control, subject to such orders and regulations as may be made by the secretary. The divisions assigned to the supervising architect and the work to be performed in each are as follows: 1. The engineering and draughting division, the chief of which shall be known as the chief constructor. In this division will be prepared designs and working drawings for public building.which are not opened to competition under present or future legislation, and the draughting work required by the repairs division. 2. The tracing division, which will trace the working drawings fr photographic duplication. 3. The photograph gallery, which will make photographic duplicate of the plans aforesaid. 4. The computing division, which will prepare estimates of cost for public buildings, specifications for the same, and will pass under instructions from the supervising architect upon all questijns of materials submitted for work under contract, and carry on all work similar in character to that now performed in this division. 5. The repairs division, which is charged with the repair and preservation of all public buildings under the control of the treasury department, the heating, hoisting and ventilating apparatus in such buildings and the purchase of vaults, safes and locks. 6. The Inspection and material division, which will have charge of office corps of inspectors, writing their letters of Instruction and reading their reports. This division is also charged with the active inspection and supervision of all work provided for or prosecuted under any contracts, drawings or specifications prepared In the office of the supervising architect. It will be the duty of the chief of this division to receive all material men who visit the office for the purpose of securing the use of their goods in public building?, and he will take the data necessary to .enable hirn to present intelligently the merits of any article which, in his opinion, should be brought to the notice of the supervising architect. The supervising architect will keep his office either in the engineering and draughting division or in direct connection therewith, and will not be required to receive visitors, except those who desire Information with reference to matters of construction, pertaining to work In actual progress. He will sign the mail which originates in his division or which arises from the necessities of the pubic service in connection therewith, but all mail heretofore signed by the secretary of the treasury or an assistant secretary of the treasury, will continue to be so signed. All business of an executive or administrative nature not within the jurisdiction and control of the supervising architect will be conducted by a chief executive officer, who will act as supervising architect in the absence of that official, and whose duties, in general terms, shall be as follows : The chief executive officer will receive all visitors on public business, except material men and thoe who may desire to confer with the supervising architect concerning m Itters of an architectural and technical nature pertaining to the work of construction in actual progress. and he will receive and have distribute. to the proper division all mails addressed to the supervising architect, or of the Officials in office, and check all letters and other paper oriirh'ating In the divisions of the supervising architect as to proper Official form. He is charged also with all questions of discipline arising In the divisions assigned, to hiring, and all messengers and milling clerksl will be directly under his control; all correspondence of the office not originating in the office of the supervising architect or in the division assigned to him and which does not requre the signature of the secretary or assistant secretary will be signed by the chief executive officer, such as transmission of checks payable out of annual office appropriations for the repair and preservation of public building?, heating, hoisting and ventilating apparatus and vaults, safes and locks: all the correspondence with the distributing agents, superintendents and others concerning requests for funds and notifications that moneys have been asked for and will be transmitted. He will also be the custodian of the bids and open them in conjunction with the supervising architect and chief computer. Under his immediate supervision and control there shall be two divisions, as follow?: The law and records division, the chief of which will be the law officer of the entire office, and his opinion upon matters of law originating therein shall .be binding.

M SERIOUS CHARGES

THE MAIIIXC HOSPITAL SAID TO BE DISCUEÜITAULY CONDUCTED. Mnke Sport of Djlnsr Men Igrnore Their Apprnlx for Help Kaiilan Died of 111 Treatment Judge David S. Terry' Widow' Katate Suffering in It llnmlfl Many Act of Dishonesty Alleged. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 24. The Chronicle says: "If the stories told by some of the patients are true, the United State marine hospital is being conducted in a manner not creditable to those in charge of theinstitution. If it be true, as charged, the employes of the hospital make sport of dying men and ignore their appeals for aii, it would appear to be time for an investigation of a very searching character. "The surgeons in charge of the hospital enter a general denial to the accusations made, but at the same time admit that the patients are not given such nursing as they require. According to the statements made by the hospital authorities the only attention giyen during the r.ight to the 13S patients now under treatment, is such as can be bestowed by the night watchman, Ralph de Jos. The watchman is supposed to make the rounds of the wards as well as the hospital grounds every hour and is not even a professional nurse. "A Russian saiLr died a few days ago, and it is said ho wa3 the victim of cruel treatment and gruss neglect. Many instances of improper medical attention are being cited by patients. Dr. C. G. Gardner says the hospital is short of help, but adls that it is the fault of the government and not the management. " 'You can say for me that if there be any liw in this state to punish a man for rubbing an insane w.men, I will have Porter Ashe in San Quintia before he is many months older.' "That is cne of the remarks made by Thorn is II. Williams, jr. It indicates that much more than what has been related may i-:i!I be sail of the affairs of the unfortunate Sarah Althea Terry, whose dramatic career seemed to end when she entered the gates t the Stockten asylum. R is a matter of r:ec:it news that Mr. Williams was appointed the temporary guardian of the affairs of Mrs. Terry, widow of Judge David S. Terry, who wis killed while assaulting Justi e Stephen J. Field, four years ago. He expects the superior court to make him hiT permanent guardian on Friday next. Wh -n he made his appeal he preferred serious charges against R. Porter Ashe, who has been acting as Mrs. Terry'3 guardian for three years. He accused Ash; of many reprehensible acts and plainly called him to task f ir alleged cVishonesty. In his petition he did not enter into detail. He will have much mere to relate when the affair is investigated and he says that he will push the matter to the end to prove his charges against Mr. Ashe. H accuses the latter of having plunjered the estate of Mrs. Terry. He has in his pas? ---ssian certain documents which look none too pleasant for Ashe. Williams says that Ashe pawned a g -Id watch b -longing to Judge Terry and jewelry belonging to his mad widow applying the proceeds to his ywn use. He has receipts and checks to prove some of his charges, one of which is that a carload of Mrs. Terry's X'ersonal effects were removed from h3r horn to Fresno by Ashe ar.d never .-.en sinc. although Ashe made no accounting of the valuables. " 'Aahe has ben masquerading as a millionaire for years.' said Williams. 'He has not a cent and has been using this woman's m mey to cut a figure; I know him an! know just where he stands. " 'He shall be called to account for every one of her belongings, and he may find to his sorrow that my sources of information regarding him have been startlingly accurate. Tnese things have disappeared and as he is responsible for them before the law I would rather be a stage robber than steal that way.' " M0KT0N ON BIMETALLISM. A Reply I Hie Criticisms 3I.ide by (JrniiRf Fnpera. WASHINGTON. D. C. Dec. 24. Secretary Morton's attention was today called t a the fact that he was being criticised, especially by some of the grange papers, for the statements contained in the following paragraph, which appeared toward the close of his last annual report: "When the standard coin of the republic shall be made of metai worth as much aft r it is melted as it purports to be worth in coin and the mint value and the bullion value of all coined money is nearly the virn will not the American farmer and all other citizens become more permanently prosperous?" In reply the secretary said he thought that no more an invasion of the economic domain, no more a discussion of finance .nan that made by Secretary Rush in his report of 1S30, wherein he declared: "The recent legislation looking to the restoration of the bimetallic standard of our currency ami the consequent enhancement of the value of silver, has unquestionably had much to do with the recent advancement in the price of cereals." "This." said Secretary Morton, "referred to the Sherman law. which has recently vanished from the statute bocks without having accomplished the vast rise in the pri e of cereals which it was prophesied would be a logical sequence of its enactment." Rut the secretary said he still held that the farmers with their surplus products buy money, and that it is as important for them to demand the highest quality in the money they buy, as it is for the consumers of farm products to demand the highest quality in them. "Rut," continued the secretary, "admitting that the American farmer would get twice as much in silver for the product as he would get in gold (if ve were on a silver bav?is) would he not have to pay for all those thinKS which he is t liged to purchase likewise, twice as much .1 he pays now? Or, w it understood that free coinage will be lik the protective tan.f so adjusted as to raise the price of all the farmer sells and lower the price of all he has to buy? Can it be possible that farmers are gullible enough to believe that nobody else's services or products are to be doubled in value by free coinage except his own?" INCONSOLABLE GRIEF. Three Hundred Xrgrurt 3Ioarn at the 1'onrrnl of the Late Senator. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 24. The funeral of ex-United States Senator J. L. Alcorn at Eagle Nest, Miss., presented, perhaps, the most weird scene ever witnessed in this country. The obsequies were attended by 300 negroes, the majority of whom were the former slaves of the dead senator. The negroes were inconsolable In their grief and gave vent to their feeling In shrieks, religious songs and prayers. At the grave the old gray-haired colored men threw themselves upon the coflln and finally had to be repaoved by force in order to allcw the body to be buried.

NEW YORK. Dec. 24. Samuel C. Feeley, who, on Monday last, pleaded guilty to the charge of abstracting funds and altering the bovks of the National shoe an 1 leather bank, was today s-ntenced to eicht years' imprisonment in Kings canty penitentiary by Judge Benc-.-Vu-t in th? United States circuit court. The total amount of the defalcation was J.31.0M0. but the h-peciti charges against Seeley involve 1 only ?..0S). The momsnt Julri It-ne.liet pron ameed the S3nten.ce S -eley was escorted fr ni t';? court room to United Ftatrr- Marshrl Mccarty's cfliee in the federal builling t.y deputies.

Sc-el y threw r.i:nsr.!f on a ..fa w.i.-n 1 t. iolshal's cfliee. and when asked by an Associated Pre.s reporter if he had anything to say replied: "I feel much better than I have flt in ten years past. I am glad it is all over ar. I that I will be confined in the Kings county penitentiary as my wife will be able to visit me and this w;!l tend to malte my term of imprisonment, soem somewhat shorter." The defaulting bookkeeper Iojked much better when' he emerged frcm Luo'v.v-st. jail this morning th?.a 0:1 ar.y day since he was brought back from Chicago. Deputy Marshals McAviney and Lawless had him in charge and they stool on the front platform of a horse car. Seeley lit a cigar and chatted with his RuanLi and to an Associated Pres.s reporter, but refused to say anything in reference to his case. When the party reached the federal building the prisoner was place. ' Mi-iul JUcGtrty' ofllce where he was immediately j.'mel by his uncle. Wüford II lllenbeck. and Lawyer Frank W. Ansel. A few minutes later Chief Clerk Kenne ly announced that Judge Benedict would not pronounce Sentence until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Vie:-President George L. Peace and Direct er Joh l L. Beach of the National shoe and leather bank called about an hour later and had a talk with Ferley. The latt-T sail that even if he shouli be s ntencid to the full limit of ten years he would mist willingly assist the officials of the bank in straightening u; the accounts. Lawyer Angd asked th- gentlemen to intercede with Judge Benedict in. Secky's behalf, but they refused. "We are nt in the least vindictive," sail Mr. Beach, "but the case is now in the hards of the government a.?! we are satisfied to let the law take its course." At a few minutes before 2 c 1 -k Se-b y was brought into the Unite 1 Siat.s ciieuit court. He was not placed in the prn with the other prisoners, but sat between the deputies near tha counl tanle in the front of the court. His uncle kept up a continuous conversation with him. but Seeley seemed to take very little interest in his surroundings. He was very nervous and twisted and untwisted a white handkerchief with both hands. When Judge Benedict entered the court all the chairs were filL-d with spectators, among whom were President Crane. Vice-President Pease and Director Beach of the Shoe and leather national bank. A couple of Italians were first called for sentence: they had pleaded guiky to election frauds and were sentenced to three years each. When Seeley's name, was called he arose slowly from his scat and walked up to the bar with his uncle on one Fide and the lawyer on the other. Lawyer Angel made an earnest plea for clemency and said that although the crime charged was a serious one he thought th ends of justice would be served by the infliction of the minimum penalty of five years. He spoke of Seeley's willingness to plead guilty from the day he was brought back from Chicago, and said that so pleading he had saved the government a great deal of expense. Lawyer Angel then went into the history of the case ani said how Seeley, in the beginning of 1S85. hal made an honest mistake, but that he committed a fatal error in not reporting the matter to the officials of the bank at once. He was weak and easily fell a victim to Baker, a man of iron nerve and peculiar ways. Lawyer Angel then referred to Seeley's family and asked that the court would grant a favor, that whatever the term of imprisonment the court inflict. Seeley would be allowed to serve it in the Kings county prison so that his wife could visit him. When the tawyer had finished there was not asounl in the court room and Judge Benedict looked at the prisoner for fully a minute before he said that he admired Seeley for pleading guilty, but the large amount involved and the position which Seeley held in the bank made it necessary for him to inflict a severe sentence in the hope that it woull deter others following in his footsteps. "The sentence of the court is." said Juelge Benedict, "thit you be imprisoned in the Kings county penitentiary for the term of eight years." Seeley meekly bowed his head to the Judge aJid left the court room with the deputies. Seeley, by good behavior, can earn a commutation of thirty-two months, which will reduce his term of imprisonment to five years and four months. He will probably be taken to the penitentiary next Saturday, but th marshal said that he might not be sent until next week. DEMOLISHED THE SALOOX. Side Partner of Hill Dnlton Sought Itrveniff. ST.

The Bev.

He said he believes the committee Is about through with serious work. "It Is evident, and I am informed,"ho said "that Superin ten lent Byrnes is to be subjected only to a perfunctory examination nod that it was he who planned the confession of Capt. Schmittberger. "Putting these things together it looks very much like a deal. But there are other posfi'cle explanations of the changed spirit of the committee, and I do not care to say anything now about the matter. "My opinion of Superintendent Byrnes has nt changed with the attitude . f thj committee. I had hoped to have had the investigation completed, not stopped, so that I might hive a rest.

Judge Woods today decided that the jail sentence for Debs and his six associates in the Santa Fe case should begin Jan. 8. On motion of Attorney Gregory, for the defense, the Santa Fe and government cases, on which sentences were cumulative, were separated and senten. e of a continuance of the latter was deferred until ihi Santa Fe sentence should be served. An appeal will be taken in the government ca.?. Sentence was deferred to Jan. 8, to allow an appeal to be perfected. The defense asked that th? s?ntencea b made cumulative instead of concurrent. There were tw) cases in which the union was found guilty of contempt the government case and the Santa Fe. Judge Woods entered the order, which, If carried out, will give Mr. Debs one year in jail instead of six months, and the others i4x months instead of three. This point was purely technical, for the purpose of testing the legality of both sentences in the United States supreme court. "Of course w? have to take our chances for a longer imprisonment," said Deb3 In an Interview, "but we feel that we are Justified l:i taking the risk. The decision of the point involved, if in our fivor, will b( a great victory for organized labor.

One body is made up of stern, determined white men, bent en revenge for the brutal nmrler of one of the best citizens of this c-uuiy, the other is made up cf i.groes, terror-stricken anl f-.-arful let they their families be made tha objects of the same fate as has already befallen seven of their number, and ready to defend themselves from such f?te as well as they may be aM- What the nx.t twenty-fwr hours will bring fo-.tia the go .d Lord alone knows. That there will be an open clash scents very mucn more than probable at this writing. The authorities are iniwerless and praetically no efforts have yet been made to bring about peace, save by the relatives of the man whose murder is the cau-e of it all. On Thursday Mr. Joseph Isom, one of Brooks county's most prosperous farmers and bet citizens, was murdered by a party of negroes and it leaked out that ths killing cf Isom was a part of a plot to klil all the whites who were in the posse which a few weeks ago arrested Josse Jeffroth for the killing of Mr. T. Mouldcn. Isom was one of the most tvopular men In the county, lb lived ten miles north of here in a part of the county where the iigro-s outnumbered the whites r.n-J the killing created a great deal of excitement. When i: developed that the same gang of negroes had 'swbi-rr--t"fci!l other white men tha white gathered together as if by one eeerd and the work of death and destruction began. Of the seven who are dead the names of only four could be obtained this afternoe.n. Ä reporter visited the scene late this evening. Every crossroad wa3 f eund picketed with sentinels and every man In the county i:t armed tD the teeth. When ore of tnese race excitements occur King Terror rules in the hearts of whites as well as blacks, and this is such a ca.:. There are probably f.J nv-n under arms, covering an area ot alout five square miles. Ab-iut a mile and a hilf from the home of Ihe I?"ms were about 2"0 whites, all well armed and breathing ail sorts of vengeance. A mile turther was a crowd of negroes of about, thea same size, armed with Winchester rifb.s. pistols, axe?, clubs and every available weapon, waiting for the whites to attack them. They are intrenched in and around a lot of negra cahins in the mid-r cf a thin grove and the latest information Is that the whites are advancing on them feom two sides. Sana Taylor. KU Frazer. Fam Tike and Ilenrv Sherard are four negroes kn.wn to have' been killed. It is understood that there were probably others. The county is e mparatively sparsely settled and the facilities for securing Liformatl an are very meager. Pike b the negro who killed Isom. He has been in hiding near where the trouble had occurred and the authorities here do not consider it probable that he had been caught. When the reporter left the scene, there Feeme 1 every likelihood of a pitched battle tonight. Capt. E. Tillman, father-in-law of Isom, waj however d)ing everything in his power tD restrain the whites. He had sent hurried messing'ers all over the countv, summoning to his aid conservative men in the hope that they would prevent further bloodshed. It will be impossible to know tonight how well they succeeded. Details of the killing of the seven negroes are meagre. Taylor. Frazer, Pike and Sherard were together about sunset last night. They were regarded as fe-ur of the ringleaders of the conspiracy to kill and burn, and were being especially sought for. A half dozen whites, one of whom is said to have been Isorn's brother-in-law, came upon them suddenly and ordered them to submit to arrest. One of the negroes answered with a shot that struck one of the whites, and four Hacks were shot down in their tracks. The other three were caught, one at a time. Many of loom's neighbors, who are in the crowd, will not listen to any peaceful talk. They declare that for the sake of their wives and children and for their own safety they must stamp out the gang that has sworn to murder, and tonight that spirit seems to be the predominant one. If the fight comes it will be a desperate one. The. killing of Isom occurred in the public road not far from his home, and the circumstances attending it p?em to throw doubt on th? ooiiüpiiacy theory. Mr. Isom was here Thursday and while in town had some words with Waverly Tike, a negro living in his neighborhood. Apparently everything was smoothed over when he left for home. After arriving th re he started with Henry Timan, his brother-in-law, for Capt. Timan's home, about half a mile from Ism's. They met four negroes, two on horseback and fro In wagons. Pike and West McCall were on horseback; the two Herring boys were in the wagon. They came near riding over Isom, who remonstrated. He said: "Look out; don't run over me." and had stepped out of the way. Just then Pike drew a pistol and without a word fired, the bullet piercing Isorn's heart. Pike and McCall fired three shots- each at the prostrate body of Isom and they broke for their horses. Tike made his escape, but McCall and the Herrings were arrested and are in jail. In the present excitement there is grave danger of these three being lynched. Counterfeit Knrrln Stamp. ST. LOUIS. Mo.. Dec. 24.
