ALL THAT NOW REMAINS 18 TO PAY THE OWNERS ‘THE SUMS AWARDED THEM—THEN THE SUPER- VISING ARCHITECT CAN MAKE MIS PLANS AND ‘THE WORK OF ERECTING THE BUILDING BEGIN. Tho site for a city post office has at last been definitely secured. The President this morn- ing signed the papers in the case and thereby approved the proceedings of the condemna- tion commissioners and the court, and the title is now so near to being vested in the United States that what remains is buts matter of form. The case came up before him for final action in the form of » communication from the Secretary of the. Treasury, dated June 25, on which the indorsement was as follows: SECRETARY FOSTER'S INDORSEMENT. “Submitting the case of the acquisition of square $23 asa site for the United States post office building, Washington, D. C., for his con- sideration and direction in regard to the dam- ages awarded by the report of the commission appointed by the court and confirmed by the court.” The President writes as follows on his side of the sheet: THE PRESIDENT'S APPROVAL. “Executive Mansion, July 1, 1891. “After a full consideration of the case I hereby decide that the public interest requires that payments be made to the persons entitled according to the judgment of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, in the man- ner prescribed by law, for the property em- braced in square 323, condemned for a site for the United States post office building in Wash- ington, D.C., authorized by acts of Congress approved June 25 and August 30, 1890, and March 3, 1891, and direct that such action be taken. Bens. Hannisox.” ‘This removes all chance of the failure of the roceedings, and the next steps may be taken Fast as rapidly as the routine of departmental work will allow. The new city post office will be located on the squaro opposite Tae Stam office, beyond any possibility of doubt. THE QUESTION OF TITLE. The title has not been wholly cleared or Proved. ‘here has been a great deal of evi- dence collected by the individual owners of the property to prove their own titles, but in one or two instances there are clouds on the land that have not yet been removed. The Attorney General will asked by the Secre- tary of the ‘Treasury—the — supervis- ing architect—to take steps. — to prove the title to the square, and_no payments will be made until the Attorney General sends back a certificate of straight ownership. ‘The rocess of obtaining a good title will be con- jucted by the district attorney. ‘This done there is nothing to prevent the architect from thinking out his plan if he wishes, and by the time the Property is completely owned by the gove ment he will doubtless be ready to detail force of clerks on the work of drawing the plans and specifications and to push the opera- tion of clearing off the square. Active work may be begun by Augi vast 1. PENSION OFFICE RUMORS, Clerks Who Have Circulated False Words About the Bureau to Go. There isa disturbed fecling in the pension office, which seems tobe based upon rumors relative to proposed dismissals. It is asserted that Commissioner Raum has determined to get rid of a certain class of employes who are believed to be active in supplying the enemies of Gen, Raum with the material for the sensa- tional stories that are printed about the pen- sion office. It is claimed that the commissioner kuows the person who writes the most objec- tionable articles and for some time past he has had him under surveillance. In this way he has found out who talks with him and the names of a number of employes of the pension office have been reported to him. It is said that all these employes will be dis- missed. According to the rumors now afloat no less than thirty dismiseals have already been made and others are contemplated. SOME DISMISSALS PENDING. Gen! Raum is at present out of the city, but those who are apt to know something about his plans are not inclined to place much reliance upon these rumors, ‘The recordsof the depart- ment also show that recently there have only been some five or six dismissals in the pension office. Two or three are now pending and in the case of one the clerk effected has appealed to Assistant Secretary Chandler and’ asked that action be suspended until the grounds for the dismissal be fully made known. There may be other cases yet to come and probably there will be.” It is known that Commissione: Raum feels that it is unjust that men employed in the pension office should be active in circulat- ing lies and in defaming his character. Some fime ago he gave orders to the division chiefy to report to him the names of clerks worthy of promotion. INEFFICIENT CLEBES TO BE REPORTED.

FOUR ELECTROCUTIONS AT SING SING. Warden Brown Will Allow No Newspaper Men to Witness It. THE REUNION AT BUFFALO. THE SALTON WATEKS RISING. No Improvement in the Condition of Affaire in Southern Calitorata. Los Axorxrs, Cat., July 2—There is no im- Provement of affairs at Salton. The water in the lake is rising, but no special uneasiness is felt by the railroad people. Owing to the almost unbearable heat, it is impoemble to get any white man to venture on the desert at this time of year. The Indian runner sent by the railroad people has not yet returned and the boat, sent out from Salton has only been able to get @ short distance. A telegram re- ceived at the railroad office in this ity ‘A strong wind Tnesday night from the »outh- east raised the water on the north shore. water line is moving westward slowly. I cannot reach the end of the track and I fear the track will go with the next strong wind. The waters are slowly but surely rising. ‘The satu- ration is 16 per cent fresher than Tuesday. That the water comes from the Colorado river, which it leaves at a point near Pilot Knob, grt a no in answer to a dispatel inquiry yesterday Superintendent Murr of the Southern Pacific received the following from H. W. Blaisdell, superintendent of minos at Ogilby, eighteen miles this side of Yuma: “In regard to the water that is flowing into the desert from the Colorado river at a point some fifteen or twenty miles below Pilot Knob ever since the great overflow in February we have been wondering where it was going to. I cannot state running today, but it was a week ago.” ‘WATERS NEARING THE RAILWAY TRACK. Aspecial dispatch received by the Times says the water around Salton is now within 2,000 feet of the main track. It came in 200 feet in two hours yesterday. If it continues to come in as it has been doing it will wash out the Southern Pacific in three days. The deepest water three feet and the shallowest in the current fourteen inches. Superintendent Darbrow of the salt works is alarmed and wants the rail- roud company to send men to fix the break in New river. The break is thirteen miles below El Rio and is about seventy miles from Salton. The Indians are badly scared and all desert Indians have fled to the hills, and even thoseas high up as Banning are leaving for the mountains. week ago a medicine man came to Banning reservation and told the Indians that the Messiah said there would be a big flood by July 4, that ail the whites will be swept ‘and onl; i saved. He said that worked to July 4 would not have time to get away Indians are much excited, and even the most intelligent ones are going to Grayback mountain with their families tomorrow. special dispatch from Salton at 11 o'clock last night said the water was still rising, but not so rapidly as in the after- neon. Old residents of this city aay that while the water is higher than ever known be- fore, the desert iake is not a new thing and the phenomenon has occurred frequently, but from the fact that the desert is uninhabited and no one ever ventures across it, it has not been noticed. A dispatch from Redlands late last night stated that the San Pedro boat had again been sent out. At a point fifteen miles from Salton they found the current run- ing four and one-half miles per hour, but the water was ouly fourteen inches deep. The deepest water they found was at a point three miles southesst of Salton, where i fe twenty- one inches deep. At place it was only eight inches decp the day before. ‘The sailors were compelled to come in soon after the sun rose as the heat became unbearable, but they started out again last night and had not re- turned when the dispatch was sent. A San Jose dispatch from a correspondent who has been camping in the mountains says that several gaps were made jn the mountains between the coast and the Colorado desert by Monday morning's earthquake shocks, and the correspondent claims that the water now enter- ing the desert comes from the direction of the Pacific and is obably pouring through some fissure caused by the earthquakes.
