SCHUETSES RETURN. THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY. Mow He Accomplished His Mission to| 4 Talk with Cardinal Gibbons—The the Lena Delta. Lieut. Wm. H. Schuetze, of the navy, who ‘Was sent to Siberia about year ago to distrib- Ute presents from the government to the natives in the vicinity of the Lena Delta for their kindness to the survivors of the Jeannette ex- Pedition, returned to Washington yesterday, nd this morning reported his return to tht Secretary of State. In conversation with a SrAan reporter to-day, Lieut, Schuetze said that his trip was successful In every way. He spent nearly the entire winter in Siberia, ‘aud traveled “all around the Lena ‘Delta, The cold was intense, the thermometer ‘At times registering as low as 85 degrees below zero. When he reached the yicinity of the Lena Delta te found the natives almost starving,aud many of them were eating wood. Thereindeer Were very scarce. The natives recelved him Very hospitably, and were delighted witn the Presents sent them by the government, They Were greatly surprised aud celebrated the event by a continuous firing of their guns all through the delta, They were very proud of the pres- ents, and many were worn outside their tur goats in the most conspicubus places. Lieut, Schuetze will at once prepare hisofficial report, and wil: submit It to the Secretary of State, oe DISCHARGES HAD TO BE MADE. Public Printer Benedict Trying to Bring Expenses Within the Appro- Priation. A Stax reporter visited the Government Printing office to-day to make inquiries as to the discharges of Saturday. The reporter was informed that about 125 discharges wero ordered and that more would follow; that the force must be ‘reduced so as to bring the ex- Penses within the appropriation remaining for the current fiscal year. The reduction, so the reporter was informed, was absolutely neces- sary, and each day that it was deferred only Served to increase the financial embarrass- ment. In making dismissals the public printer adhered to the policy outlined In his first inter- view published in Tae Stak, He called upon the several foremen to report to him in the full sense of their _responsi- bility, the persons who could most easily be spared trom their respective divisions; those who could be spared without impairing the working efficiency of the office, ‘There has rson discharged whose services the public printer regards as necessary or as impor tant to the continued efficiency of the work. As an evidence of the absolute necessity of a prompt reduction of expenses THx STAu re- rler was shown a letter written by Mr, Kounds Just vetore his retirement toa meuiber of Cou. gress who requested the retention of one of his constituents.
