Weeks of Pittsburg, Pa. are registered at the SECRETARY PROCTOR’S SUCCESSOR. - A Probability That Ex-Gov, Cheney of New ‘Hampshire Will Ne the Man. It is not regarded as likely that Secretary Proctor will retire from the cabinet before November, when he wili receive his appoint- to the Senate. Therefore, the appointment of his successor in the cabinet may not be looked for until that time. There are several candidates prominently spoken of and the names of many who are thought to be available are being discussed in connection with the Secretaryship of War. There is very little politics in the War Department iteclf, but it is thought to be likely that in filling the vacaney Mr. Harrison will havo due regerd for the influence of the appointment w his prospects of renomination. If Alger would accept the place it is probable that the President would not think to go any further, but it is not believed that Gen. Alger would accept any favor at the hands of this administration which might put him under obligations to Mr. Harrison in the next na- tional convention. Gen. Alger’s friends say that he will not himself be s candi- date for the presidency, but they rather intimate that he would willing to take second place on the ticket with Mr. Blaine. He is avowedly in favor of the nomination of Mr. Blaine, and is credited with being active in trying to bring that result about. Unless the public is misinformed as to his sentiments with relation to the administration, it places him out of the range of selection to succeed Secretary OTHERS SPOREX OF. General Veazey has becn spoken of for the appointment for some time, probably oftener than any other, but there seems ¢o be consider- able doubt about his selection. Senator Hawlo; is mentioned also as a possibility. The Presi- dent, however, would probably be very reluc- tant’ to fake any one from the Senate at this time. There is now a very slim majority of stalwart republicans in that body. change of one or two votes there might enable the silver men to pass a free-coin- age bill over the President's veto. It is ead that Hawley will probably not expect another term in the Senate, and he might be willing to resign to take a cabinet position, but he cannot well be spared from Congress at this time. Ex- Senator Blair is spoken of also. ‘Tho friends of Assistant Secretary Grant saythathisselection is, far from impossible. “He hs made a good of- cer, as a soldier is very familiar with military affairs and knows the workings of the depart- t well, having been acting secretary most of the time since his appointment as abwistant secretary. There would be no politics in his appointment, however, though the Minnesota pegple would probably be gratified by his se- lection. EX-GOV. CHENEY PROBABLE. ‘The selection regarded as most probable by those who have been particularly interested in the discussion since Mr. Proctor's retirement was first spoken of is that of ex-Gov. Cheney of New Hampshire. Gov. Cheney and Mr. Harrison are warm friends. Mr. Harrison offered him this same position Just before the cabinet was formed. He did not then feel in- clined to accept it, but favored the selec- tion of Mr. Proctor, whom the Presi- dent had already about determined to give eome piace in the cabinet. It is now thought that Gov. Cheney would accept the appointment, and there are political rea- sons why the friends of Mr. Harrison in New in other parts of New England desire his ‘appointment. The Gallenger ele- ment in New Hampshire is fighting to send an anti-Harrison delegation to the national convention, and it is believed that the appoint- ment of Gov. Cheney would st n the hands of the Harrivon men. Senator Chandler is very anxious that this selection should be made and Mr. Harrison's Personal admiration and friendship for the pt vernor would naturall: a] it Sant, oll things being east aus ————. +. ; THE CHILIAN CONSUL GENERAL, A Change Made by Balmaceda Excites Some Comment. President Balmaceda of Chili bas lopped off ‘the official head of his consul general in New York, Mr. Frederick Beelan, who has occupied that position for the past twenty-six years, and appointing in bis stead Mr. Charles R. Flint, a well-known commission merchant of New York, who has large and ex- tensive dealings with South America. This change took place but recently and has leaked out through some private correspondence. A Stan reporter, who learned the fact this morning, was assured that the selec- tion of Mr. Flint,an American, in place of Mr. Beclan, a native Chilian, is gratifying to Senor Lascano, the Chilian minister here. Mr. Beolan is charged with affiliation with the in- surgents, but this he denies emphatically. He claims that he has always served his govern- ment faithfully, and that no act of his can be discerned that would show the least trace of treachery. Mr. Flint has for many months, and indeed throughout the war, acted as the confidential agent of Balmaceda ‘in this country, and, it is stated, by selling large quantities of guano, has raised funds for his campaign, spending’ the proceeds of his trades in arms and ammuni- ion. ee eee Interior Department Changes. The following official changes have been made in the Department of the Interior: Office of the Secretary—Promotion: Miss Helen H. M. Herzog of District of Columbia, clerk, $1,400 to $1,600. Appointments: Chas. H. Cassavant of Pennsylvania, proof reader, $1,000; Miss Fannie A. Weeks of Nevada, copy holder and indexer, $50 per month. jeneral land office—Rosignation: William S. Keiser of Arkansas, typnscriber, $600. Pension office—Prototion: James A. Buch- anan of Illinois, clerk, $1,200, to special ex- aminer, $1,400. The Farley National Bank Will Resume. Bank Examiner Campbell, in a roport to Acting Controller Nixon, says the present indi- cations are that the Farley National Bank of Montgomery, Ala., which closed its doors a few days ago, will resume business. The de- positors and stockholders, he thinks, will not lose a cent. At the Treas- Bank is said REY Department tho" Parley to too much money on hand to make money. It does not owe a cent, bas no bad debts excepting the one that closed it, and was in all respects « model bank. Its surplus was about $110,000. ‘The bauk had bee in the habit of cashing drafts for the Alabama Term- inal Uailroad Company and the last draft of $109,000 was not paid when prosented in New York. Even should the bank lose this large amount it is represented as solvent peed erie tan Used a False Bottom. Assistant Secretary Crounse has decided that certain seized jewelry, consisting of silver watches and chains imported by Mr. 8. Cilette ina false bottom of his trunk, eun be released only by payment of the appraised value of the articles, viz,, €216. The importer had asked for their releaso on payment of a. fine equal to the daty “of 610.50 ‘and ‘the expense of seizure. Ho snid he used the false battom to guard against robbery on the part of his fellow passengers and with no intention to de- fraud the revenue, but that be did not havo a fcr g Ueda of attained ment, however, ‘caso of attempted smuggling. THE TREASURY FINANCES. Secretary Foster Says There 1s Money Enough to Meet All Demands. The amount of 43¢ per cent bonds continued at 2 per cent to date is $21,338,150, and Secre- tary Foster says that it was his impression that the amount would run over $30,000,000 before the transaction closes. if his expectations aro realizod there will be less than €20,000,000 of the 43¢ per cent loan subject to redemption after September 2, the limit within which it must be presented for continuance. Secretary Foster says that there will be no difficulty whatever in meeting this payment, or a larger one if necessary, without recourse to the one- hundrod-million-dollar gold reserve and the 17,000,000 on deposit with national banks. ‘The Secretary said that including $49,000,000 representing disbursing officers’ Lalances, out- standing checks, the national bank redemption fund, dc., there io an available balance of $106.000,000, exclusive of the ‘‘gold reserve” of 100,000,000, and he regarded that as ample to meet all current obligations of the govern- ment. The bonds, he added, are of course redeemable in gold, if demanded, and there is ‘over $29,000,000 of that coin in the treasury, in addition to 'the “gold reserve,” an amount in itself more than sufiicient to redeem all the 43¢ per cents that will be outstanding September 2. he Secretary uaid also that he regarded tho amount of public funds in the hands of dis- bursing officers.as greatly in excess of the needs of the service, and that he was considering a plan whereby it may be greatly reduced. There is now, he said, a balance of $25,000,000 in the hands of these officers, for a considerable por- tion of which there is no immedinte need, and it is his opinion that thisamount could be reduced to about €30,000,000 and maintained at that fig- ure without embarrassment to public business. REPAIRS OF STREETS. Interesting Data in Regard to the Work Done Last Year. HN. Moss, who has the immediate charge of repairs of streets today, made his annual re- port of the workings of his office for the fiscal Yoar ending June 90, 1891. ‘The report is quite interesting and contains an immense amount of data which shows the wonderful strides the city has taken in all directions during ‘the past year. Referring to current repairs, for which an appropriation of $45,000 was available, he says that $44,953.31 was expended. Out of the appropriation of $130,000 for work done under the permit system, $31,984.02 was expended on 117 applications.” Un- der ‘the provisions of the comp sory permit system, which gives Commizsioners power to order improvements where the public health, safety or comfort de- mand it, and charge one-half of same to tho abutting property owners, $109,214.75 has been expended, being divided among eighty-two cases. ‘The amount of work dono for parties payin; total cost for same for the construction o} driveways and other pieces of work needed for their sole benefit and not for the general use of the public amounted to 3,290.17. During the year $9,633.31 were expended out of the appropriation of $20,000 for the con- ruction and repair of bridges. The total amount expended under the head of “ordinary care of bridges” aggregated $3,177.38. During the year there were 852 cuts repaired at a cost of $6,488.02. ——E Means to Destroy Locusts. The Department of State is in receipt of @ communication from Consul Bessinger, at Beirut, transmitting brief notes on some means of destroying locusts as adopted in Arabia. ‘Two years’ experience and close observation in that country, the consul says, appears tohave demonstrated the fact that locusts voraciously devour a flanf known as “giant Jarkspur,” del- ephimum prigrium, and that the smallest quan~ ity proves fatal to them. Another plant with which successful experi- ments for destroying locusts have been made is the castor-oil plant or “‘pabuna Christi,” which seems to have proven an infallible destroyer of the insects. As both of the plants could easily be propa- gated in many parts of the United States, their cultivation in years when locusis make their appearance on lands near roads or along the tracks that they are known to tak. would seem, the consul thinks, to commend iteelf as of the utmost utility. : Exports and Imports. ‘The chief of tho bureau of statistics, in his monthly statement of the exports and imports of the United States, reports that the total values of the exports of merchandise from the United States during the seven and twelve months ended July 31, 1891, as compared with similar exports during the corresponding periods of the preceeding year were as follows: Seven months ended July 31, 1891, #482,038,580; seven months ended July 31, 1890, 446,851,021 twelve months ended July 31, 1891, 392,690, 107; twelve months ended July 31, 1890, 7860,- 015,297. The values of imports were as follo Seven months ended July 31, 1891, $498,984, 113. seven months ended July 31, 1390, $488,656,386; twelve months ended July 31, 1891, $833,694.983; twelve months ended July 81, 1800, $795,082, ———-+-_____ Army Orders. ‘The following transfers in the fourth cavalry are made: First Lieut.

The Congressionalist Forces Reported te Have Met With Success. Oprr or Mexico, August 26.—Telegrams were received here yesterday from Lima giv- ing information of the battle now being fought between the congressionalists and forces. The latest one states that the city of Valparaiso is completely surrounded by congressionalists, who are rapidly driving in the outposts. The fight bas been going on for seventy-two hours and from the first, th the army of Baimaceda is nearly double that of the congressionulists, the Inter have been vic- torious. From the present indication the fight may continue several days. The con- gresslonaliste are expecting reinforcements. tho insurgent fleet is still harboring about Quintero bay. The losses have beon very severe. The success so far of the congression- alists has been due to the superiority of their firearms, which are Remingtons and Winches- ters, which were procured in the United States, the ‘Esmeralda having landed some 20,000 on her return to Chili.

From St. Albans to Montpelier—Five-Minute Stops at Richmond and Waterbury. Br. Aupaxe, Vr., August 26.—The President spent the night quietly at the residence of ex- Governor Smith. Shortly before 9 o'clock this morning he drove down town and inspected a creamery not far from the station, which is one of the chief industries of St. Albans. There was not a big crowd on the streeta when the President passed through. After looking at the creamery the President and Secretary Proctor were escorted to the special train which had been made up in the station, and at 9.10 o'clock the train left for Montpelier. Rep- resentative H. H. Powers, Geo. T. Childs, Judge H. R. Start and F. C. Smith accompanied, the President from St. Albans.

In the course of time these wasp-like crafts reuched their positions under the lee of the ironclads, and the entire French squadron weighed anchor and proceeded westward in seaman-like style. When the visiting squadron was passing the British fleet the blue jackets “of her — majesty’s war ships manned the yards, while the most hearty cheers were exchanged between each and every vessel of the two ficets as the two visitors passed. Finally Admiral Gervais’ flag ship, the Marengo, fired a parting salute, which was promply answered by the British -war assembled off Spit Head. The Sons of America.

COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SLOW WORK. Much indignation is felt and freely expressed in this city at the tardiness and unsuccessful manner in which the authorities are working to exhume the corpses of the unfortunate vic- tims of the terrible disaster that occurred on Park place last Saturday. Up to 8 o'clock this morning only fifty-seven bodies had been taken out, and although many others are plainly visi- ble, mixed up with the debris, the men at work are powerless to remove them on account of the want of proper ng EE Many of the bodies are held down by the heavy presses, which it will be impossible to remove without the requisite machinery. These appliances are promised to be used today, when it is b ‘that the work of exhuming the bodies will go on more rapidly. The bodiesthat are recov- ered now are simply such a shapeless mass of charred putrid ficsh—in many instances a mov- ing mass of maggots—that it is impossible to recognize them by their features, the identity in most instauces being made by the clothes or some paper or watch or something in the pock- ets. Thestench of the decaying bodies last night was so horrible that it was almost im- possible to breathe within the fire lines with- out some counteracting odor to inhale. NEGLIGENT OFFICIALS. The heads of the various city departments seem to have been more anxious that the ex- pense attending the work should not be carried to their particular account than that the bodies of the dead should be recovered before all chance of identification was gone. Ever since Saturday night work of clearing out the ruins has been greatly delayed by the pressure of a huge mound of debris blocking up the street in front and having no place to deposit the wreckage taken out, and yet it was not till last night that any steps toward removing the blockade were taken and only a4 a by'the storm on the French flagehip Mas and who were most hospitably entertained their French hosts. ‘THE INTEROONTINENTAL RAILWAT.
