I.—Judge Lawrence, First Controller of tho Treasury, recommends In his annual report that all Government officals be given power to administer onths for the purpose of mnking Investigations when called upon by tho Secretary of tho ‘Treasury to do so. It frequently occurs that accounts Involving expenditures which nro nileged to havo been made in distant purts of the country orin foreign isnds nre suspended because of some doubt which arises in regard to the facts or tho propriety of tho expenditure, Under the present arrangements the Department can take ono of three courses: Iteansend a special agent to make investigations; 1t can take for granted much which is questiannbie; or can suspend or reject accounts In regard to which doubts arise, at the risk of dalng injustice to the person whose account 1s thus treated, If Congress yrants tha authority nsked, tho Seeretary ean call upon a Consular oflicer at a forelgn post, or upon a Postmaster, Indian Agent, or lund agont, to look Into any purticuine matters referred to them, administer ouths, and forward ailidavits covering doubtful foutures.
