INDIANS AT THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.—A delega- tion of Indians from the Coeur d’Alene Reservation, in Idaho, called on Acting Indian Commisstoner Up shaw, with the view of securing authority for the Tight of way through their reservation of a rail- road, which desired to complete the roadway be- fore the winter.

AN “ORDNANCE SuIP” NECESSARY.—A report re- ceived at the Navy Department yesterday, from the commander of the new cruiser Atlanta, which arrived at Newport yesterday, says that when the eight-inch rifles were fired recently at Gardmer’s Bay, the clips and clipcircles failed to hold the carriages satisfactorily. The clips of two of the six-inch guns also failed to hold the carriages upon firing. These carriages and their appliances Worked satisfactorily upon trial at the proving rae but the conditions under which guns are red on shipboard are materially different from those at the proving tests, and the unfavorable re- sult of the trial on the Atlanta confirms ordnance Officers In their opinion that an “ordnance ship” for the trial afloat of new guns 1s an absolute ne- cessity. The oiicers of the Atlanta deny that her guns are too heavy to be fired on a vessel of her Size, but say that with proper carriages they can be sred without difficulty, the present carriages being too light. ‘Tuose wao LEAVE THE CrTy during the sum- mer can have Tae Stax mailed to them for any length of time, and the agdress changed as often as desired. ‘The subscrifMlon must be invariably paid in advance, AMONG THE PRESIDENTS CALLERS to-day were Senator Hampton, ex-Gov.

Complaints Heard and Decisions Ren- dered, ‘The Interstate Commission this morning granted a hearing on the complaint of Ralph W. Thatcher, ‘owner and operator of an elevator at, Schenectady, New York, against the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company (a raflroad line), alleging that the latter had refused to carry out its contract in the ‘transportation of grain East, The complaint was really against the Fitchburg Bailroad, which ccn- nects with the Delaware and Hudson at Mechan- iesville, Mr. Henry L. Marcy, general traffic manager of the Delaware and Hudson, and Mr. Thatcher, both testifed under oath. According to their testimony the shipment of grain east to Boston and other points from Schenectady ‘Was interrupted by the refusal of the Fitchburg ‘Toad to accept former rates. The old rates were 63 per hundred weight, but the Fitchburg road demanded 10 cents per hundred weight. Mr. ‘Thatcher testifed that the action of the Fitchburg Toud had had a most disastrous effect upon castorn business; that it had really destroyed that Without undertaking to decide that case the Commission took up tue complaint of the As sociated Wholesale Grocers of St. Louis against the Missouri Pacific Raflroad Company.

Louis and against shippers, of St. Louis; also thet it transports from “st.” Louis to points in Kansas and elsewhere, articles of staple merchan- ise in car-load lots at'a rate of compensation that 4g more than 25 per cent less than {t charges for transporting the same kind of property in less quantities than a car load, thus discriminating against the small shipper and giving an advan- tage to the large shipper. ‘The associated grocers ‘Were represented by Messrs.

The Secretary of the Treasury has appointed Wm. A. Freret, of New Orleans, to succeed M. E. Bell, as supervising architect of the Treasury.

Bell, the present incumbent, tendered his resigna- Uon'at the beginning of the present administra Uon, but was very much surprised yesterday when notified that’his resignation had been ac- cepted to take effect at once. He made a personal appeal to Acting Secretary Thompson yesterday to withhold the announcement of the change in the office until to-day. Mr. Thompson promised to do so and was somewhat chagrined this morn- ing to find that Mr. Bell himseif had furnished a statement of the case to certain newspapers last evening. This incident was the subject of much unfavorable comment in the Depareinent to-day. Mr. Freret qualified this afternoon and will assume charge of the office at once.

In the melee three of the non-union men were knocked down and severely beaten.

Since the publication of the charge of a shortage in the accounts of the late Dr. Levi Bacon, a8 financial clerk of the Patent Office, the friends of that gentieman have been somewhat indignant over the publicity given the results of what they claim was a hurried and cursory examination of the affairs of the office, covering only a period of few days, and not including a thorough exami- nation of the books. Mr. Schuyler Duryee, late chief clerk of the Patent Office, who was one of the committee to examine into and report upon Dr. Bacon's ac- counts, was asked to-day by a Stax reporter as to the facts concerning the published reporta. Mr. Duryee sald: “The published reports of Dr. Bacon's accounts at the Patent Office have been misleading. ‘The committee appointed by the Secretary of the Interior made an inventory of the contents of the safe used by Mr. Bacon, but did not examine his books, This examination Sultof the inventory, and, Until the. foutings ot ult of the inventory, until the the journal kept by Dr. Bacon, showing the dally Tecelpts of fees, are verified, and the total amount of money received by him during his eleven and one-half years of service (about $11,000,000) definitely determined and compared with’ the ag. We Of his deposits, it 1s Impossible to say Just 1ow his accounts ‘at the time of his decease. In my judgment, and Tam not alone in this, such an examination Will reveal that Mr. Bacon was Rot in arrears. The practice of making advances toemployes of the obice had existed during his entire tein, and it was with the Knowledge of his superiors.” ne Whole amount of cash reported short was $28,000, Of this amount $17,000 1s said to be ac- counted for by due bills and other papers found in the office, and the whole amount las, it ts said, been paid by the persons owing It. AS to the re- maining $11,000, Mr. Duryee says that itis more than probable that this discrepancy—an incon- siderable sum compared with Ue $11,000,000 handled by Dr. Bacon—will be shown When the books are revised, to be due to clerical errors, and that errors to such an amount in a series of ac- counts covering 36,000 which have not beeu examined for eight years, would not be un expected or remarkable. ‘The Sultry Weather.
