The result is that o lurge amonnt of Treasury drafts aud warrants have gone unpuld, while milllons of Natfoal Bank notes sent in for redemption have been stored in the Tressury vaults, waiting for the new T'reasurer to qualify on his bond. ‘That was not pussible untl there was o Seerc- tary to approve ils bond.

DAVE SADLY TRIFFED UP. pecial Dispatch to The Tribune, ‘Wasniseron, D. C., July 7.—The investiga- tion involving the relations of Miss Swect and Darvld Blakely to'thio Chicago Pension Agenvy was reopened to-day. Miss 8weet and Joslah Lombard, one of the exccutors of Miss Bwect's father, were examined for several hours. The Investigation was sceret—Miss Sweet had been reenlled fn order to rebut testlmony given by David Blakely and Elbert Gary. Dlakely's ex- “amination wus conducted in sccret. Ho has caused it to be mude known in the Pioneer- Pres-Tribune of June 30, that his testi- mony was o trlumphant vindication of him- eclf and Baker, late Burveyor-General of Minnesotn, and that Miss Bweet's Sormer testitnony was wrung from a frightened and confuacd girl without permnission to explain, Blakely also churges that Gary ecriously fnjure el Miss Sweet's testimony. The evidence of Miss Sweet and Mr. Lombard to-day conclusive- 1y shows that Blakely's paper haa given A MOST DENVERTED STATEMENT of the testimony, and has besides brought out an additional plece of evidencs which will re- quire agreat deal of ingenuity on Blakely's purt to explaln, Josiah Lombanl testificd clearly and emphatically, and to the substan- tlal facts that had been detalled by Miss Sweet. He denfed what Blakely charg- od, that Miss 8weet bad admitted to him that she lind assumed the $3,000 defaleation as her own debt. On the contrary, Lombard testifled that she ussumed the responsibility to the Gov- ernment for that swm, but thaj siiv never as- sumed jt us her obllzation na netween herself and Blakely, Inall of the particulars Lombacd fully confirmed hiss Bweet. Mies Sweet was recalled and examined at cat length. Blie told hier story with remarku- hle procision, cooiness, and eniphasis. It dif- fered In no single partienlar from her former statement, already puuiished, exvept that she FIODUCED AN ORIGINAL LETTER PROM BLAKELY, and which ghe had found, etnce her former tes- thuony wasxgiven, It will be remembered that Blakely telegraphed from Brwdford, Vi, Lo Miss Sweet, ufier Special Agent Luckey hui diseovered the defielt upon the books, that 1t would bo all right. Miss Bweet had beforethat written a letter to Blukely, Insisting upon im- mediste payment of that defaleation, Blakely i not produge that letter, stating that he hnd lost it, nnd Miss Sweet lad no eorrv‘\'. Miss Bweet, however, to-luy produced Hiakely's answer to ber Jetter, written from Bradford, Vi, -about the same date us the telegram. In this letter Blakely practically ad- mits all that Miss Sweet's ~ testimony” has charged. 1le saya that Baker will msder Luckey not to make an examination; that Baker will probably appoiut Dlukely hinself (o come out und report upon the oftice, and thoet he will mako it all right, Blakely Incloged in this Ietter a blank shegt of paper with Lis own name signed at the hottom, and direets Miss Swret 1o have that paper lled up over his signature with anything sho pleascs.

The Houso and Senate were not dividing on the questlon of clerka’ walarica, but upon the general power undertaken by the House to clsed aver the Senate, It has been claimed that tho liouse had reduced approprintions s compared with the bils of Inat year to the extent _of §30,000,000 Lut there was a deficiency Dl of $4,000,000 which had been counted in 3,000, 000, and had no business there, Tho Sel ate Committeo on Approprintions had reauced aj nmfirluflunl an compnred with the bills of last ye: U5 the extont bf S 000, 000, and in the Inat threc Lenm the Scnato had reduced theet Lills to the ex- nt of $iki, 000, GO0, .
