THE PENSION OFFICE INQUIRY. ‘Witnesses Examined by the House Special Committee Yesterday. 4 CHIFF OF DIVISION WHO HAD BonROwED MONEY FROM THR CLERKS UNDER UIM—MR. TATEGR'S RESIGNATION AND HOW IT WAS BROUGHT ABOUT. After the report of the Raum investigation ¢losed in yesterday's Stax. Wm. T. Ford, as- sistant chief of record division of the pension eftice, the oldest employe in the Interior De- Partment, of which the pension office is a part, testified relative to the charges against Engle. He said that they were contained in a state- ment which was prepared by Clerk Lineaweaver, but he (wituess) did not remember whether it ‘was sworn to or not. He made the statement ‘Of his own free will and accord, and it was not drawn from him by the commissioner. Mr. Engle had been discharged, but when he was Feinstated witness told him that bis discharge was the result of his own foolish actions and silly tongue. He told Com- missioner Raum that the allegations in the statement were true. Engle bad im their substance. Commissioner ad not pumped the statement out of It was areed im the statement or affi- that Engle had ruined # young girl in the offic Witness had told the commis- sioner her name, but declined to give it to the committee in public session. He asked for time, however, in which to consult counsel be- fore saying whether he would give the name to the committee in secret. The matter, there- fore, went over for the time. Witness further said that he was not intimate with the com- missioner, and wiiile he had no perticular love for him, he did not dislike him. ADMITTED THAT HE BORROWED MONEY. Mr. Exnloe took up a charge made by three one-legged or one-armed soldiers that witness liad referred disrespectfully to them. Witness denied the charge. He admitted borrowing Money from perision ofice elerke, as he was in financial stra’ He@also had had financial transactions with Mr. Latourette, an outsider, bat he did not pay him 10 per cent interest. He was at the present time in debt to Mr. Latou- rette, but was not paying him any interest on the money. He bad never complained to the commissioner of Mr. Latourette's visit to the asion office. He acknowledged that he had Tomcat money from a great mary friends in the office. Mr. Enloe named several persons and asked witnes* if he had borrowed money from them. He admitted having done so, but when Mr. Enloe presented more names witness declined to say whether he borrowed from them or not. ‘The practice in the office of borrowing ig ‘the witness admitted, was pretty general. His borrowings had not been any more extensive, however, he said, than had that of other per- sons. His borrowings had not been of such extent as to embarrass any one, or such as would, influence him (witness) for or against bis cred- itors. OBJECTS TO MAKING A STATEMENT. Mr. Lind,» member of the committee, then attempted to obtain from the witness an esti- mate of the total amount of money he had bor- rowed from employes under him, the number ef persuns borrowed from, é&c.' Witness at first strenuously objected to giving the infor- mation desired, even in this stage, becanee it would disgrace him and would be the talk of the office. Mr. Lind then asked him why he borrowed the money if be looked at it in that wa: he witness did not answer this question. Finally, after the committee had taken steps which indicated its intention to compel the Witness to answer Mr. Lind’s questions, he ad- mitted that he owed 380 to three subordinates in his division. He said that since be com- menged borrowing he had never been out of devt. He had been compelled, he admitted, to settle money accounts on threats made by his creditors. Replying to further questions witness denied THE BASE BALL SEASON. Is Will Be Opened in the Six Larger Cities ‘This Afternoon. SIZING UP THE DIFFERENT TEAMS—HOW THE LOCAL TEAM COMPARES IN FIELDING, BAITING AND IN THE BOX WITH OTHER TEAMS—POINTS OF WEAKNESS AND STRENGTH IN THE CLUBS. The finest base ball organization that ever existed will today begin its history. The first championship season of the year will ope in Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Cincin- nati, Louisville and St. Louis. Owing to the intelligent and impartial work of the committee on players the termes will be more evenly matched on the start than ever before. A greater in- terest in the game will be felt this year than ever in the cities of the league, for it will be the first time that the majority of them will see the picked players of the late association and league. Hitherto through ignorance each organization has been derided by the cities hold- ing membership in the a a beste cities affected to despise the a jon ; dl them as cheap and amateurish, while the'ameciaton tine ‘bs _—_ a er ve nd “1 re the ret times ieague. and. aaioctation players mingle and‘a juster appreciation of their merits will follow. Already this result has been noticeable in New York, where the oranks have well nigh exhausted themselves in the praise ofBoyle and Fuller. Fuller, however: the New York m to forget, is an 24 ington player, s member of the former league ig lag drops for the great race of "92, the qucdconnial ees when everything Amer- ican is great and splendid, it might be well to look over the teams, scan their apparent strength and weakness and make a forecast of — they will be when the winner crosses the me ‘THE SENATORS. First as to the Washington team. In the calculations made elsewhere our team is not estimated very high. One “tout” says that it “will have a hard road to travel in spite of the infusion of league blood.” Another says it is “weak in the box and not especially strong in the field or at the bat.” The review of the local team given in these columns on Saturday refutes these statements to a considerable ex- tent. Inthe field we have Larkin, Dann: Richardson, Hardie Richardson aud Radford, ‘and the records show that there is not stronger infield in the country. Brook- lyn’s is the only infield that compares with it. ‘New York's cannot begin to equal it. Chicago's is much inferior. Cleveland's and Fbil- adelphia's appronch it, but are no better. As to hard hitters, there are Donovan and Duffee above the .300 mark, and Milligan just on the mark. Then, too, thereare Larkin, oth the Kichardsons and McGuire, who are hitters away above the average, leaving only Radford and Hoy who could in any way be termed weak at the bat. But they are run ters. Hoy made more runs than Ber of the association last year, and be gets them by balls or hitsund bases by skill- fal running he gets them, and that is what wins games. No, there is no weaknessin the field or at the bat. As tothe box, Knell and Kilien stood second and third among association pitchers last year, and association pitchers have shown that they were fully equal to league pitchers. Gastright, Dolan, Foreman and Kilroy have all shown themselves to be good, though with ‘the exception of Foreman they have not faced league batsmen. It would be foolish to say of any of them without trial that they are weak. They may make monkeys out of the league men. There is, therefore, no good reason for assigning « position in the rear to Washington's team. “THE BEANEATERS.” As regards Boston. It is generally looked upon asa pennant winner. It has the prestige that he had insulted a woman by insisting that she accompany him toa certain place, testi- mouy in relation to which bas been heretofore given. WHY MR. TAYLO RESIGNED. §& A. Taylor, formerly an employe in the pension office, who resigned in the latter part of 1891, detailed the circumstances attending his resignation, accomplished through the medium of Assistant Secretary Bussey, during which be attributed to Mr. Bussey a’ remark that whenever Secretary Noble had any dis- agreeable work todo he had him (Mr. Bussey) todo is. A letter which witness suo-equently Feceived from Secretary Noble was to the effect that there were no charges against him affect- ing his character or reputation, but that his usefulness bad become impaired. Witness’ trouble with Commissioner Kaum dated from the time of bis report to the commissioner with respect to the record of Theodore Smita, an ‘@mplose in the office, who ct one time bad’ de- serted from the army. ‘The committee durin ; the afternoon session took steps to request the House to compel wit- nesses Waysou and Ellis to answer questions in Felatiun to financial transactions, beside asking that body to request their dismissal from office. ‘The committee adjourned until today. Army Orders. ° Second Lieutenant Wirt Robinson, fourth artillery, will be relieved from duty at the United States Military Academy, West Point, N. Y., June 13, 1892. and he is granted leave of absence from that date to incluje January 1, 1893, with permission to leave the United States. ‘The resignation of Second Lieut.

The commission decides that the arbitrary differentials now charged are unlawful and should hereafter be mave by adding a percent- age. to the New York rate on shipments in- cluded in the six classes of freight from oi and points east thereof and west of Buffxlo to Boston and other New England poiuts, and that the defendants and other iuterested Le allowed twenty days to we by snewer why order should not commanding them to desist from charg- ing ssid arvitrary differentials and requiring said rates to Bosion and New England points to be male by adding to the New York rate an of one season's championship and it has got ood men from the association in Duffy and Siccarthy. Its infield is a strong one, and in Clarkson, Stivetts and Nichols it is strong in the box, and with Ganzeli and Bennett it is ~| well fixed behind the bat. Whether Kelly will bea source of weakness or of strength remains to be seen. No one disputes his abilities ‘WARD'S WONDERS. Ward has a magnificent infield in Brouthers, himself, Joyce and Corcoran, and it is likely to be a stone wall for ground hits and liners. The outfield remains unchan; It is composed of hard hitters. It is in the box that Brooklyn is at present weak. Until Haddock and Lovett are signed Brooklyn must get along with ex- perimental twirlers who have not as yet mado much of a reputation. THE QUAKERS. ‘The same criticism applies to the Philadel- phia team. Keefe may regain his old form and he may not. Certainly New York would not have allowed him to go if it had not been sup- pot his day was past. He certainly showed + year that his wrist had for the time lost its cunaing. Thornton has pitched some remark- able ball, but no one can tell how long be wili last. Carsey is promising, but that is about all, He needs a catcher who understands him to steady him. What be can do agains! league batsmen remains to be seen. Hit record last year was not a bril- liant one. though it must be said that he gave Washington faithful and energetic work. In Connor, Hallman, Mulvey and Allen, a mixture of ‘and association men, there is a strong infield, but it has not played to- gether a single season and their team work is a matter of the future. Thompson, Delebant7 and Hamilton make » hard-hitting and weli- fielding outfield, but in no way superior to Washington's. Clements and Cross are good catchers, but Washington would ngt give Mc- Guire and Milligan for them. ‘THE ORIOLES. Baltimore's team is generally regarded here as the weakest of the eastern nines. It is un- deniably weak in the box and, barring Buftin- ton, Healy, ite best pitcher, is an unknown quantity this year. His arm may be all right and it may not. Whistler, Shindle, Gilbert and Pickett make an infield that ‘is not re- markably strong. It is one from which occa- sional brilliant plays can be expected, but not one that can be dependet on for a steady, errorless game. Whistler is probably the best of the lo. He is a good fielder and a fait hitter. From his connection with the Washington club when it was in the Atlantic Association Washingtonians are familiar with his work. He is an earnest, ambitious and ® conscientious player and a strength to any team. He was a regular God- send to the New Yorks in 1890 when they were in such straita, The outfield is neither strong in fielding or in batting. Now that Rhines is disabled the Cincinnatis are for the time being weak in the box A great deal is expected of Comiskey, but Comie- key's success with the St. Louis Browns lay mostly in the that he had » much better team than any other in the association. When it was weakened it dropped. Both the infield d the outfield is “spotty” and will piay a “ It will play phenomenal ball as “yellow” as saffron the next. It : miskey can wajutsin » fast pace, but itis doubtful. At any rate, -without good men in the box it cannot hope for much. Yet Porkopolis cranks are swearing by their team now. However, ‘that is perfectly right. It would be sad were it otherwise. as¥ox's cours, Hutchinson is the best man Anson has in the box with Luby and Gumbert to help him out. The “old man” will, of course, play first him- self, Canavan second and Burns and Cooney in the other infield positions. Canavan is « fair second baseman, but by no means equal to Pieffer, either in the field or at the bat. The others are not so, In the ‘team is below the average. It has no “slug- gers. ‘THE COLONELS. If Louisville's financial condition is all right and there is nothing in that airection to dis- turb the players tho Coloncis shoyld put up a strong game. With Taylor, Ffetcer, Senin, and Kuebne in the infield they have an able juartet to start with. Weaver, Seery and Tom Brown will makes hard-hitting outfield. Ebret, Stratton, Meekin and Fitzgerald have shown that th formidable pitchers, but each one of them bas been hit hard at times. They are 4 good lot, but puttin; one of them in the box does not insure a victory But on the whole Louisvilleis stronger than St. Lous. THE BROWNS. Worden, Stricker. Crooks and Glascock are the mound city’s infield. Here are four men who will play ball for cll that is in them. But it will be a spotty game. It is doubtful if there will be much good team work. ‘Then they are spotty in their batting, | They may make doubles and triples one day and ‘fall down” the next, The pitcher's box is woak. The col- lection is made up of those other clubs have let go? Will they get afresh grip? It remains to be seen, but it is not likely. ‘THE GIANTS. The New Yorks remain—Ewing, Bassett, Lyons and Fuller are the infield. It is Ewing's first season on first, Bassott is aclover in- fielder, but is not reliable. Lyons is also unre- liable.” Fuller will go after everything and play an carnest game, but he is the oue strong spot. No one thinks of saying that he is su- perior to Radford. O'Rourke, Gore and Tiernan will be in the outfield. ‘Tiernan is quick. ‘The others are slow. It is « fair-flelding outfield, but not brilliant. All three are good hitters and, with Ewing and Lyons, will do the bulk of the hitting. For pitcherssNew York has usie, Sharroth King and Crane. | Rusio and Crane can frighten timid batsmen, but they are not invincible. Boyle, Fields and Murphy will do the catching. There is no reason why the Washington team should not defeat the Giants in two games out of every three. When Wash- ington hada weaker team and New York a stronger Washington repeatedly whipped the othe: Now, then, for the race: THE NEW BASE BALL LEAGUE.

To the Editor of The Evening Sta If any one mortal can thoroughly sympa- thize with poor Joe, when he complains that everybody “is allus a-chivying on” him it is the government clerk. When the member from anywhere, who wishes to distinguish himeel: in the House, looks the.field over he finds that to wrestle with the tariff or money question means not only a stupendous amofint of hard work for himself—or somebody who must be paid for it in some shape—but also danger to his political prosperity from some quarter or other; every other question of moment is also hedged about with danger signals, and finally he would be obliged to give’ up im despair if the government clerk were not there, an ever ready and, moreover, safe to hang bill or al speech upon. Then the moral educator takes compassion on the clerk's neglected condition and sets to work to mold him into a thing of beauty and a joy forever; tie schoolmaster in- terests himsely to tho extent of seeing that he keeps his educational fortifications in thorough repair; the philanthropist rigidly guards him from an undue love of lucre by relieving him of all he can spare, or not spare, te benefi: th: or that favorite charity or scheme.

The Houso, after Tux Stam report closed yesterday, continued its labors on District leg- islation until adjournmant, which event was Precipitated by ari Pected opposition which arose to the bill ex- tending the Washington and Georgetown road to the Aqueduct bridge. The resolution providing that no permits for dwelling houses in alleys should be issued wus Passed without debate, as was a resolution pro- viding that the subdivision of square 206, made by C. P. Patterson and recerded ir book R.W., Page 102, in the office of the surveyor, be con- firmed so far as the said subdivision embraced any part of the original alleys in the square and the title of the persons claiming any part or parts of the original alleys under the owner of the original lots in said square at the time said subdivision was made be confirmed: Pro- ided, That the area dedicated to the public in the subdivision made by said Patterson is at leat as great as that ofthe alloys in the said original division of said square into lote. THE PLUMBING INSPECTOR. The bill providing for an inspector of plumb- ing and for prohibitory inspection was called up. The billis a Senate measure and has been fully discussed. An amendment offered by Mr. Hemphill was agreed to, which provides that the inspection should be under the direction of the Commissioners. Other minor amendments were agreed to. Mr. Holman then took uj question of fees and salaries for the additional inspector. Mr. Hemphili explained that the salary must be provided for in the regular ap- propriation bill. Then Mr. Holman objected toall the fees coming in through the offico being pliced to the credit of the District, and he offered an amendment providing that the United States should get one-half of the foes and the District one-half. MR. LLOUNT'S REMARKS. Mr. Blount, in speaking for the amendment, said: “We bave already created here # corps of officers and employes who are paid for out of the general treasury, and yet the moment we are confronted with the question of the dis- position of these fees gentiemen insist that the rule shall not obtain. ‘There is nothing nar- row in the suggestion of the gentioman from Indiana. The idea that we shall be compelled to pay one-half of the expenditure of this Dis- trict, enormous as it is, upon the theory that we own one-half the property, although that one-half, when you come to investigate, con- sists largely in the streets of the city, is s0 absurd as to be repugnant to the common sense of any gentleman to whose attention it is brought.” Mr. Holman had inserted a list of thirty- eight employes of the health office and the salaries they received and then the amendment was adopted. ‘Tho bill was then passed. MARRIED WOMEN'S MONEY. A bill was then passed without discussion pro- viding that whenever any deposit shall be made in any building and loan association, savings bank or other institution authorized by law to receive deposits by or in the name of any per- son Leing a minor or a female being or there- after becoming a married women, the same shall be held for the exclusive right and benefit of such depositor and free from the control or lien of all persons whatsoever, except creditors, and shall be paid, togetLer with the dividends or interest thereon, to the person in whose name the deposit shall have been made, and the Feceipt oF acquittance of such minor or fe- male shall be # valid and sufficient release and discharge for such deposit, or any part thereof, to the corporation. TRACKS TO THE AQUEDUCT BRIDGE. The opposition of the day came on the Senate Dill requiring the Washington and Georgetown railroad to continue their line west along M street to the Aqueduct bridge. Mr. Hemphill explained that it such a bill was to be passed it should be done now before the cable live was completed and in_ time for the G. A. R. encampment, to the visitors at which Arlington. of New Jersey hinted that the bill contained a scheme to run cars asross the Aqueduct bridge. Mr. Hemphill replied that he was opposed to running cars acrons th bridge, that the bill gave no power to da so am that the House might do what it wanted wit the bill; it wase matter of indifference to him. ‘THE SITUATION DESCRIBED. Mr. Heard described the situation clearly. He said: “I only want to say that this proposi- tion is simply to authorize and require the Washington and Georgetown road to extend its line up to the neighborhood of the Aque- duct bridge instead of leaving a gap of about four or five blocks. Last year there was a begin atthe terminus of this road and bi p to the bridge and across. As the chairman of the committee (Mr. Hemphill] gress reiused that for two reasous, mittee, as well as the two houses of Congress, were opposed to granting to any railroad com: y the privilege of crossing the surface of Aqueduct bridge. ‘It is not « wide enough or strong enough bridge to justify its use for such purposes, and besides it was built for the benefitof the public, outside of the railroad companies, and we ba’ been trying to make them build their own bridge. That was one reason. Another reason is that this is a stretch of only about four blocks, and when the railroad is thus extended it will be one rond and ore fare clear to the Aqueduct bridge, which is and always will be « focul point in railroad street travel in this city, We believe there is every reason why the road should be extended therv, and, as the chairman of our committee has well said, it is of vital importance to every patron of this road that the terminal plant shiali be put in at the begin- ning, because otherwise, if it is put in at the present terminus und has to be changed. the roud will necessarily be idle while that change is being made.” AN ENTERING WEDGE, Mr. Blount argued that allowing the round to go to the bridge was only an entering wedge to crossing the bridge, and Mr. Blount remarked; “The gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Heard) says that the District Commissioners do not approve the crossing of the bridge. It would be an unfortunate time to approve it, Mr. Speaker, just now. Again, tho District ‘Com- missioners are not life occupants of office. They shift, and they are generally in accord with the influences at the iederal capital. The Secre- tary of War is opposed to it, it is said; and yet, Mr. Speaker, he may be changed, and the reasons will change when you have this road Fanning up to the Aqueduct bridge from the Virginia direction. Are you not bringing to bear an influence to stop the building of rond which is uow built under a charter, and desigued to go to Arlington and Mount Vernon, ‘IN FAVOR OF SERVICE AT NIGRY . Mz.

CROSSING THE BRIDGE. crossing the bridge, and Mr. Hieard said: mit locks for fear that at some tinwe, in the future, by some authority or other they would get the right to cross ihe bridge, is, I submit, not up to the ordinary measure of that gentleman's foresight in legisiation, because he knows just.as well as I do that this Congreas can imposo no restraints or limitations on any other Congress. So far as this Congress is con- cerned I know that it is so in this House and in the District oomm: and that it was so in the committee on the District of Columbia in the Senate; the members have expressed thom- selves as being in lino with the District Com- missioners and the Secretary of War against permitting anybody to builda railroad scross ‘that bridge. “But because we do not want to cross is no argument why we shoald not build the line up to the bridge or permit them to go as near to the bridge as possible without interfering with the trafic across it. If they can get a charter hereafter from Congress io cross the bridge they can easily get a cltarter to extend the line up to the bridge. But there is a decided ad- Vantage in building the line up to the bridge now, if it is to Le builtat all ir. Blount moved to indefinitely postpone the bill and there were 42 ayes and'1d noce Ar, Hemphill made the point of no quorum, and in the midst of obtaining a quorum the House, on motion of Mr. Richurd: - journea. ‘ eee —-__.

NO LOVE FOR RUSSIA, The Ameer Tells Why Afghanistan Should Prefer British Friendship, The Gazette of Bombay published yester- day o translation of a state paper that the Ameer of Afghanistan has issued to the “Noble chiefs of Afghanistan.” The paper recites the events that led to the Pendjeh incident and the amoer’s reason for preferring British to Rus- sian friendshi The ameer seve that Russia dhly wants Afghanistan as a high road to India and would Place the Afghans in the van of her army asa special target for English cannonsand rifles, The Russians would strip the Afghaus of their arms and of food, and would murder their women becanse they must destroy the Afghans to ab- tain India. “Therefore the ameer declares that friendship between the Russians aud Afghans is next to impossible. ~-Shere Ali, who, when Ameer of Afghanistan in 1878, became involved in a war with the British, was, according to the present ameer, fool and & madcap to bring such woe upon his people and ruin upon himself. ———_+e+—____ A GENIAL, SOCIABLE MURDERER. Deeming Presided at @ Banquet shortly After Committing His Kainbill Crimes. The “British authorities have applied for ® warrant against Deeming, the Australian murderer, so that he may be taken to England and prosecuted for the Rainhill crimes, in case the proseoution in Australia should result in failure to convict. The application has been made at Widnes, Lancashire, within the magisterial Jurisdiction where the Rainhill mur- ders were perpetrated. One of the newspapers republishes the account from the Prescott Re- Porter of the banquet given by Deeming, alise Williams, at the time that he left England with Miss Mather, the wife whom he murdered at Melbourne, It reads queerly now: “On Wednesday even- ing Mr. Albert C. Williams, an inspector of the Indian army service,who is on a short visit to England, and who has taken up his residence in Rajnbill' while in this country, entertained at the Railway and Commercial Hotei, Rain- hill, a number of the residents ‘of the villago whose friendship he has made during his sojourn among them. ‘The menn was of an excellent character, After full justice had been done to the good things provided Mr. Williams presided and Mr. Short occupied the vice chair. The nsual loyal and patriotic toasts having been submitted and re- sponded to, one of the guests in # felicitious speech proposed the health of their host, Mi Williams.’ “He said that whilst that gentleman had been with them in Rainbil! he had mace many friendships, which be sincerely hoped, now that he was going awa: ain to foreign service, would tend for many hours when ennui set in to bring back tohis mind the many pleas- aut and social evenings he hud spent with them at Kainbill. The toust was enthusiastically drunk with musical honors. Mr, Williamsin reply thanked his guests for the hearty way in whic! they had received his name. He had been in many climes and countries and had mixed with miiny nations, but he must say he never in his life meta more sociable uumber of friends the yry places the American people want to o i: ALL NIGHT STREET CARS. Mr. O'Neil (Mass.) offered an amendment providing that the road should run all-night cars every half hour. y Mr. O'Neil’s motion brought out a little dis- cussion. Mr. Hemphill—The only trouble about that is that, as understand the matter, the cable cannot be run tho whole twenty-four hours, it | being essential that there slall be some time between midnight and daplight for inspection and repair. Otherwise the cable is Hablo to get out of order or to break and stop the entire machinery of the road. I would not object to an amendment requiring the company to run fmerease of 10 per cent thereof, and if no such auawers be that such order be issued forthwith. ‘The Gates Were Broken. ‘To the Fattor of The Evenin« Star: On my way to market taday about 11 o'clock Iwas very much startled by what might have been & very serious accident at the railroad ¢xossing at H street northeast. ‘The signal bell aug for the gates to full, but for some reason the east gate did notcome down.

Mr. O'Neil of Magsachusette—I am aware of that, but there is nothing to prevent them from running horse cars at those hours. Mr. Hemphill—The trouble about that is that they will have no horses when they abandon that form of power. CAN'T DO AWAY WITH HORSES ENTIRELY. Mr. O'Neil of Massachusetts—Ob, no railroad compuny will ever do away with horses entirely, They must keep horses for some purpose, and can usethem for this pt ne’ r men aud by a Fegular’ residents.
