It is Believed He Has Hid Himself in Europe. As has been stated witnesses have been before the grand jury in reference to the irregular ac- counts of Bernard Augustus Jones, the clerk to Paymaster Goodloe of the marine corps, who has been missing since Christmas, and it is thonght that an indictment will follow shortly. In the meantime the whereabouts of Jones are unknown, but it is now thought that he has re- turned to Europe. ‘The detective officers have discovered that in 1871 he enlisted in the tenth United States in- fantry, Col. Alexander, under the name of Bernard Augustus Jaeger, and served in the Utah campaign. He gave his nativity as Sax- ony when he Guitited ia. the. Secith infantry. He next enlisted in the marine corps in 1881 under the name of B. A. Jones, giving his na- tivity as Alsace, and served one full enlist- ment and two years of a second en- listment when © he was discharged to take the place of chief clerk in the paymas- ter’s office at a salary of $1,500 per year. It ap- pears that his embezzlement commenced about thirteen months ago and ranged from sums of =60 to #400 per month, the total being over $3,200. In each case his embezzlement was from the fund for transportation of men, and in no ease did his pilferings cause a loss to the men of the corps HOW HE DID 17. His manner of doing this work was about as follows: When @ marine is discharged, if not at the place of enlistment, he is entitled to transportation thereto, and it was his custom to fill up papers showing that the discharge was at a distant point from the ‘place of enlist- ment. If the place of enlistment was at New York and that of discharge at San Francisco the transportation would amount to $133. All Maj. Goodloe’s vouchers have passed the Treasury accounting officers, and possibly the defalcatien might not have been discovered had Jones remained at his post, It appears that he had left an envelope on his desk and in it was $55; that on Christmas morning he went his office tens to intending to place the envelope in the safe. Joe was anxious to of the marines that morning and had gone to his office to await these papers by mail and to attend tosome private Business. When Mr. Jones entered he found that Major Goodloe had found the pening Stat, WASHINGTON, TWO CENTS. AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY. Telegrams to The Star. HIS PROSPECT BRIGHTENS. THE WORLD'S FAIR BILLS.

The Farmers Losing Heavily on Grain, Stuck and Buildings. Evansvitte, Ixp., Jan. 17.--The river at this point passed the danger line on the guage at 8 o'clock last evening and is still rising at the rate of halfan inch an hour, The water is rapidly spreading over the bottom lands and those who have not already been driven from their homes by the rising waters are removing their families and stock. A great amount of corn has been destroyed and farmers having grain in danger of being washed away are at work with laborers placing it above the high water mark of 1°34. ‘The prospects now are that the water will reach a greater height than atany time since the flood of that year. | With @ rapidly rising river at this place and advices of an additional rise of the upper Ohio and side stroams the situation is anything but encourag- ing. The officers of the steamer Blue Wing, which arrived here last night from Calhoun, report Green river rising at the rate of two inches an hour. Hundreds of families have been driven from their homes. Many of them are living in churches and school houses, peat Ss FROM OTHER LANDS, the residents of hia engaged in the silk industry in favor of a bill to modify exist- ing laws rolative to duties on imports and the collection of the revenue.

The motion to table the motion to reconsider was agreed to—yeas 144, nays 142, THE ORIGINAL RESOLUTION ADOPTED, The question then recurred on the adoption of the original resolution, as follows: Resolved, That a select committee of nine members be appointed by the Speaker, to be called*'the world’s fair committee.” to which shail be referred all matters relating to the pro- posed celebration of the four hundredth anni- versary of America or the world’s fair of 1892, The resolution was adopted—yeas 141, nays 136, Mr. Springer (Ill.) changing his vote from the negative to the affirmative in order to enter ® motion to reconsider.

Loxpox, Jan. 17.—In contrast to the excited state of popular feeling in Lisbon and other cities of Portugal over the action of the British government in the southeast African dispute the English public is singularly apathetic, While the excited Portuguese are marching through the streets howling and cursing and in the exuberance of their impotent rage burning British flags, the staid ad stolid Englishman calmly pursues his daily vocation, apparently unmindful of the gravity of the situation, for it is still grave. Though the late Portuguese min- istry accepted the ultimatum of Lord Salis- bury, pertorce, there is nojguarantee that the new government will acquiesce in the action of their predecessors in office, but there is rather Great likeliiood that popular clamor and a lesire to disarm the republican element by an appeal to their patriotism willimpel the ministry to undo the action of the Gomez governmentand engaye in a hopeless fight for the preservation of the national dignity and honor, trusting to the sympathy of the powers to interfere in their ehalf, A MAYOR'S SONG, Asong, of which the words are by Lord Mayor Isaacs, has been recently published, As it is of a mildly amatory character it ig proba- bly aneffusion of his youth and hardly merits the ridicule made of it by some of the news- papers orthe atrocious parodies which arouse unseemly levity at the music halls. Mayor ‘Isaacs must be convinced that a man’s sins will indeed tind him out, HARTINGTON. The illness of the marquis of Hartington, necessitating a trip to the continent, which will extend beyond the time of the reassembling of parliament, is a severe blow to the tory-unionist coalition, which will need the presence of every one of its leaders to combat the contemplated assaults of the opposition. The action of O'Shea against Parnell, which no one now doubts i purely political move, has proved to be a verit- able boomerang and more than one of the instigators of the movement now wishes him- self well out of it. The attempt to discredit Mr. Parnell, which is the sole purpose of the con- spiracy, has failed as utterly in England as it has in Ireland, where nearly every one of the representative bodies has affirmed its implicit confidence in his innocence of the charges and belief in his social and political integrity. LEOPOLD'S FAIR. Brussexs, Jan. 17.—A universal exhibition will be held at Liege in June next on the occa- sion of King Leopold’s jubilee, FIGARO saya.
