In order to put the forms of Saturday's mammoth 16 page editions of Taz Stan on the presses in time to catch early outgoing trains, and also to give to advertivers the bene- fit of that larger circulation always secured by prompt delivery of the paper in the city, the necessity of sending in business announce- mente at an earlier hour is earnestly urged. As much copy as possible of this character should be furnished by Friday evening, that proper arrangement, position and clessification may be assured; and hereafter no advertise ment—whether “new” or “re-set”—exceeding five inches or seventy lines in langth, can be taken after eleven o'clock a.m., with a guar- antee that it shall appear in the issue of the same day. 4 ‘The management of Tue Stan will regret as much as any one can if disappointment should in any case follow the enforcement of this rule, which is imperatively demanded by circum- stances beyond human control. It is confi- dently believed, however, that by the exercise of due consideration on the part of advertising patrons all ground for complaint on this ground can be avoided. ge Goversawext Recerrrs Topay.—Internal rev- enue, $542,236; customs, $1,148,999. ‘Tar U.8.8.

Also House bill’ to prohibit liquor licenses within one mile of the Soldiers’ Home prop- erty in the District of Columbia. MR. CLAGGETT'S CLAME Mr. Stewart presented papers in support of the claim of Win. H. Clagett to seat in the Senate from the state of Idaho for the term beginning March 4 (the sent for which the cre- dentials of lr. DuBois are already on file), and they were referred to the committee on privi- leges and elections. Mr. ‘Teller, from the committee on privileges snd elections, reported a resolution (which was agreed to) to puy to ex-Senator Sawyer of South Carolina his pay from the beginning of his term—Mareh 4, 1867—until he was paid. He also reported a like resolution in favor of ex- Senator Spencer of Alabama. CLAIMS AND ATTORNEYS, Mr. Hale expressed the hope that the money would be paid direct to the ex-Senators and not to attorneys, and he related how in a similar case (a short time since) the ex-Senator was dogged into the paying office by an attorney, who insisted on being paid his share. Such a scene, he said, was ashame anda scandal. It had resulted, he said, in that case in denuding the contingent tund of the Senate, so that dapre was no money to pay the expenses of Senators in connection with the obsequics of Gen. Sher- man. Mr. Plumb thought that the question as to what time the pay of Senators should begin was one that ought to be settled by law, not by resolution. Mr. Aliison objected to further disenssion of the resolution, and it was therefore placed on the calendar. ‘The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Manderson instructing the committce Indian affairs to inquire into the condition of the Indian tribes im North Dakota, South Da- kota, Montana and elsewhere, und whether the care and control of Indians living in tribal re- lations should be transferred from the Interior Department to any other department of the government, was taken up and agreed to. Mr. Dawes—referring to a remark of Mr. Allisou’s yesterday that he (Mr. Dawes) would take charge of the Indinn appropriation bili to- day—expressed his regret that he could not do as there were some features in the bill hich neither he nor the committee on Indian atfairs approved. Mr. Platt acked Mr. Dawes to what features of the bill he alluded. Mr. Dawes—To the educational features of it. ‘Mr, Allison said that he had been aware when he reported the Indian appropriation bill yes- terday that there were nome features in it which were not approved of hy the Senator from Massachusetts, but he (Mr. Allison) had never had charge ‘of an appropriation bill every item of which he had approved, and he therefore hoped that as soon as the legislative, executive and judicial. appropriation bill should be out of the wa Senator from Massachusetts would call up the Indian appro- priation bill and take charge of i Mr. Sherman stated that he was authorized by the coramittee on foreign relations to say that in view of the siate of public business, rticulurly the appropriation bills, and also in of the fact that the bill could not be acted ou in the House at the present session, the Nicaragua canal bill would not be pressed any farther at this time and might take its place on the calendar. THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION, Mr. Wolcott favored the amendment, and re- marked that the civil service commission had at best “‘a hard row to hoe.” It bad to meet a deep and bitter opposition from certain de- partments of the government because, proba- bly, its methods did not always agree ‘with Chestnut street methods. Mr. Stewart opposed any legislation inereas- ing the jurisdiction and scope of the civil service commission. | present system, he said, was not working satisfactorily. It was creating great dissatis- faction. ‘The multitude of persons disappointed by it was increasing year by year. He looked on the whole system as unfair. Mr. Wolcott replied to Mr. Stewart's argu- ment and commended the methods of the civil service commission, x8 Opposed to the ‘ cal influence” system that had previously pre- vailed. Mr. Dawes also defended the amgnd- ment reported by the Senate committee on ay propriations. civil service commission, he said, was here to stay.

Mr. Sherman had some doubt about the power to appoint clerks for the civil service commission, and he asked Mr. Allison to state by whom they were appointed. ‘Mz.

Mr. Outhwaite offered an amendment pro- viding that the owners of vessels entitled to bounty under this bili shall?make a rebate on the freight charges of any American products of 50 per cent of the amount of bounty received by them. Mr. Kelley (Kan.) opposed the amendment, and it was defeated—yeas 51, naye 85. Amendments offered by Messrs. Bland (Mo.), Outhwaite (Ohio), Clunie (Cal.) and Strable (lowa) were defeated. MRE. HUSTON AND HIS SUCCESSOR. Both Political and Social Considerations Said to Have Brought About the Change. The acceptance of the resignation of Treas- | urer Huston and the selection of J. A. Lemeke, ex-state treasurer of Indiana, as his successor | rings down the curtain on one of the little po- litico-social comedies of this administration. It has been one of the novelties of Mr. Harrison's experience since he has been in the White Louse that he had great trouble in keeping one man in office, and that, too, in one of the mort dignified and re- sponsible offices in the government. Not only did the office seek Mr. Huston, but, having found him, it had to keep constantly on the alert to prevent his escap- ing. Not very long after his appointment Mr. Huston began threatening to go, his am- bition Leing disappointed in several ‘particu- lars. Some time ago the story of how his re- lations with Mr. Harrison had been strained by the fulure of Mrs, Harrison to give Mrs. Huston the social recognition which she regarded as his due was told in these columns at that time and it was thought that the matter bad been satisfactorily adjasted, and until less than | a week ago sir. Harrison was resting satistied thet Mr. Huston had become — con- [tented and that he would not be | called upon to appoint anew treasurer. Mr. Harrison thought that Mr. Huston had con- sented to retin the position until the end of | the presidential term. The treasurer, it seems, however, did not so understand the matter. BOTH ROCIAL AND POLITICAL The reasons for bis wanting to get out of the office were both social and political. ‘The dis- appointment of Mra. Huston in the matter of | entire absence of political power in the treus- | urer's office and some other considerations to- | gether aggregated a disappointment of such Proportions as to make their determination | to retire from Washington very strong. At the time when Mr. Herrison made his | termination not toreturn. The President, it is | said, included in his request for’ Mr. Huston to remain in office a suggestion that Mrs. Huston come back w the have no further complaint of lack of courtesy at the White House. Mrs. Huston did return, and since then has “assisted” in one of the White House receptions, at which, however, the hostess herself was not Present, being in- disposed, and Mrs. McKee did C2e honors. THE SITUATION IX INDIANA. The social trouble thus cured left the politi- cal still unsettled. Mr. Harrison, it is stated, had hoped by retaining Mr. Huston here to | prevent his working with the anti-administra- tive clement in Indiana in the re- org:nization of the state committee. The chairmanship of the state republican executive committee was then vacant, and Mr. Harrison was anxious to get in that place one of his friends. In this he failed, a compromise being made by which a man whose position with relation to the two factions was not known was chosen. This man is a warm friend of Mr. Huston’s and his attitude will probably depend somewhat upon what the ex-treasurer desires. ‘Mr.Haston wasa candidate for the secretary of the treasury to succeed Windom and some people attribute his retirement at this time, after the President had got the im, jou that be intended to remain, as the result of dis- appointment. His friends, however, say that it is nothing of the sort; that his understanding of the agreement with the President when jhe withdrew his former resignation and brougut Mrs. Huston back, was that he was to remain witil February. He had fully intended to retire before this, they say, | but’ delayed “it on account of Mr, Windom's death, Two or three days ago he called on the President and prerented Lis resignation, so as to give the Presidert time to appoint his’ successor before this Congress adjourned. The President was sarprised, but ‘accepted the resignation. MR. LEMCKE A GRESHAM MAX. ‘Mr. Lemeke was in New York, about to take asteamer to Europe, where he intended to spend some time for rest after quitting his du- ties as state treasurer. Mr. Harrison at once telegraphed him not to take the steamer, but to make his treamurership. dir. ments at once to accept the Lemcke consented and last night he arrived in about he matter at once and again ixdny, The about the matter at once today.
