Morris, clerk to the librarian of Con- | gress, presepted a check for $3,300 at the Treas- } ury at half-past 11 o’clock this morning. The money was to pay the current month’s salaries of the employés of the library. The check was presented to Mr. Moffat, the paying teller in the cash room. Mr. Moffat honored it, giving Mr. Morris $330 tn gold, $330 in silver, and the ballance, $2,640, in ‘greenbacks. Mr. Morris jaid the money on the _ led In front of Mr. Moffat’s wicket and asked for a piece of aper with which to wrap up the greenbacks. Mr. Moffat said he had none and told him to get it from a messenger. He left the green- Baexs on the ledge and went over to Mr. Wil- Mams, the paying teller and asked for a plece of paper. He had requested Smith, of Squter’s tink, to waren the money for him. Mr. Wil- liams gave him the paper and he came back and wrapped up the money, putting rubber bands around it. He then went to the Wagon in which he had come from the Capitol and handed to the messenger in it the gold and silver and told him to take it to the Capitol. He himself retained the greenback package. In about fifteen minutes he came | rushing into the cash-room of the Treasury and Ina very excited manner said he had been robbed in some way of his money. He had with himan opened package the same size and shape as the one he had left the Treasury With. Instead. however, of its con- taining greenbacks it had in it rolls of red tape, as that article is put up for use. After getting in the cars to go to the Capitol he said he opened the package to see if his money was all right, but instead of finding legal tenders in ithe found only red tape, He at first sald that the exchange in packages had been made in the cash room. <A gentleman of the secret service, however, saw him wrap up his money and go out with ff. Morris, who was greatly excited, then said that the exchange might have been made in a restaurant, where he stopped to get a drink of water. While drink- ing the water, he satd, he laid the ae on the bar, 2nd some one might have sllpped the bogus one in its place, He did stop at” Losekam’s restaurant, just above to get a whisky ‘smash, but 2 That is where the exchange was probably made, but whether with the conni- vance of Morris fs not known. ‘The secret ser- vice men and the elty detectives are working up the case, and think everything points to Morris as the man who, with the assistanc of a confederate, got away With the 32.649, Morris has been somewhat wild of late, itis sald, and has been known to have done a good deal of gambling. It was noticed that he did not come into the house by the regular entrance, but by the side door. While drinking at the bar there was a man on his right, but the package was on his leit. The bogus package was wrapped up in thi me kind of paper as the genutue. and in the Same form. Atter leaving the restaurant Morris got into acar going towards the Capi- WHAT MR. MOBRIS TOLD THE LIBRARIAN. Librarian Spofford gives the following vers'o2 of the robbery as related to him by Mr. Morris, the assistant librarian. Mr. Morris went to the ‘Treasury department this morning with a draft for $3,200 to pay the monthly expenses of the library. He presented the draft to the paying tel- lr in the cash room en 1 received $2,700 in notes and the balance in gold and sfiver coin, About, fifteen persons were in ne when Mr. Morris drew the money, and he stepped aside to count the greenbacks at an adjoining desk. After seeing that the amount was right he procured a@ piece of yellow paper, such as is used at the cash room to cover money, ani placed it about his. package, slipping a rubber band over the paper to keep the notes in place. He laid this package upon the desk beside him while arranging his coin, and then left the Treasury with the coin in his hand and the package under his arm. He entered an Avenue car, and at the corner of 14th street his attention was attracted for the first ume to the loose and baggy feeling of the pa age. He slipped off the band and found instead or his bundle of notes a dry goods package of cemmon red tape bound and folded just as the bundle of notes had been. He at once saw that some one had substituted the worthless pack age for the bundle of notes. Mr. Morris returned to the department as edily as sible and notified the Treasu! of his loss. Chief Brooks, of the Treasury tectives, and Detective McDevitt, were at once notified and steps were taker to examine ev one known to have been in the lobby of the cash room atthe time Mr. Morris was there. Mr Spofford was summoned from the Capitol, and notified of the loss.

[Special Dispatenes to the Evening Star.} Cc aGo, May 28, 2 p.m.—The elty commenced toput on convention airs this morning. The early trains brought delegates aud politicians from every known quarter, and the floors of the hotels swarmed with them. Some two hundred and fifty delegates are already registered. All of the leaders are here except Conkling, and the preliminary skirmishing has commenced in good earnest. Senators Cameron and Logan both state this morning that Grant has a majority on the first ballot, without counting on any disaffection tn New York and Pennsylvania. Secretary Keogh, of the national committee, Says that the most careful estimates gives Grant within two votes of a majority. The Grant and Sherman organizations appear to be very complete, but, to the surprise, of every body, that of Blaine seems to be deficient. Chandler and Hale are here, but some one ts needed with voice and presence to head off Cenkling and Logan. The Times this morning Says that Blaine ought to be here himself, and the Jnter-Ocean regrets that he cannot come. The Blaine headquarters have been removed from the Grand Pacific to the Burdick House, which is a mistake, asit leaves Sherman in pos- session of the best headquarters in Chicago. The reports which are heard east, that Sher- man and Blaine had united to defeat Grant, donot appear to be true. The Sherman men at least, deny it, though ex-Gov. Dennison and Gov. Foster will make a fight in common against the unit rule. vill oppose the enforcement of the unit rule by all means in their power. The rule ts anti- republican. A republican convention {3 a na- Uonal, not a confederate, convention. No such rule has been adopted here heretofore, and should not be now. Ohio says: ‘No unit rule; independent voting by every delegate.’ ” Governor Foster says: “I do not belleve the unit rule will be adopted.” Says: “As to the controversies between Blaine and Grant, we have carefully avoided any share in them, though we shall take sides against the unit rule.” Ex-Postmaster Filley, of St. Louis, is urging Sherman’s name for Vice President. Ex-Sheriff Daggett, of Brooklyn, who used to live in Washington, is here at the head of the ant!-Grant members of the New York delega- ton, and says that a third of the delegates are against Grant. ‘The contest over the committee on permanent organization Is clphered down close, but indica- tions favor Blaine. Gorham says Blaine is sure to have it, and the Grant men admit that it is doubtful. It Is agreed that the convention will last sev- eral days, and that the first contest will be over the unit rule, The cool-headed men on both sides tell me that the unit rule will be defeated, as a major- ity of the delegations are really not instructed to vote asa unit, and that the rights of the state conventions will be respected. The Trivune this morning publishes dispatches irom the centers of population in nearly every State in the Union as to the feeling; of republi_ cans on the third term idea. From every quar- ter the statements come that the nomination 0: Grant would be disastrous to the republican party. In Kansas a split is threatened in case the ex- President 1s the nominee at Chicago, which would disintegrate the republican party in that state. Indiana would be hopelessly lost, and in Ohto there would be a regular stampede of the Ger- man republicans, ‘The weather is clear and cool. EPSOM RACES, Starters for the Oaks Stakes.
