JeS MORE OFFICERS FOR THE FAIR, Lieutenants Who Will Command Squads of the Columbian Gaurds. Before going to Chicago, Secretary Lamont decided to increase the number of army officers on duty at the world’s fair. Since his de- parture, Gen. Schofield and Adit. Gen. Wil- liams have been engaged in picking out the available officers. A telegram was received from Secretary La- mont today directing the adjutant general to make the details. #e selected the following officers: First Lieut. A. J. Russell, seventh cavalry; First Lieut. T. J. Clay, tenth infantry; First Lieut. M. C. Brown, first cavalry; Lieut. Edgar Howe, seventeenth infantry; Lieut. L. H. Strother, first infantry; Lieut. F. G. Hodgron, sixth cavalry: Lieut. J. 0. Green, twentyeftth infantry Walter Gordon, eighteenth i . A. Hilinick, feurth infantry, and Lieut. A. W. Perry, ninth caval ‘These officers will be assigned to duty in con- nectior with the Columbian Guards with the View of increasing the efficiency of that organi- zation. a a FINDINGS OF THE COURT. They are Submitted in the Case of Lieut. Nelson. ‘The record of proceedingsand finding, of the court-martial in the case of Lieut. Valentine 8. Nelson has been received at the Navy De- partment. It will be reviewed by the judge advocate general and then submitted to Sec- retary Herbert for his action. Lieut. Nelson was tried on charges of drunkenness and leav- ing his station as officer of the deck without being relieved. He was attached to the U.S.S. Charleston at the time and the trial took place at Norfolk, Va. The accused pleaded guilty to the charges and threw himself upon the mercy of the court. It is said that extenuating cir- cumstances were submitted to the court, which impelled it to confine the sentence to a light suspension from duty, probably for two years. Lieut. Nelson has a good record and his friends are hopeful that the authorities will be lenient with him. = NG COMPARISON! Post Office Removals and Appointments STILL MAKI The official records of the Post Office De- partment show that during the first three months of the present administration ended June $ the total number of fourth-class post- masters appointed was 6,537, of which 4,672 were to fill vacancies caused by resignations and death and 1,865 by removals. During the cor- responding period in Mr. Harrison's administra- tion the total number appointed was 8,226, or 1,686 more than were appointed during the last three months. Of these 2,659 were to fill vacancies caused by resignations and death and 5,567 by removals, The number of ap- pointments made on resignations was,” there- fore, 2,013 greater during the first quarter of the presont administration than during the last, and the number made on removals was 3,702 Jess during the Inst quarter than during ‘the corresponding quarter under Mr. Harrison's administration. we Army Orders, Leave of absence for one month is granted First Lieut, William W.

Bennett,” Commis- sioner Lochren todayorganized a “boned of re- vision,” consisting of twenty-three men, who have been selected with special reference to their fitness for the place. ‘ihe duties of the board of revision will be to draw from the ai mitted files as rapidly as may be practicable allowed under section 2 of the act of 1800, aggregating over 300,000, and to determine whether the allowances are'in ac- cordance with law. ‘The board will act under the immediate su- pervision and direction of the commussioner, who will give proper instruction as needed. z a A Visit From Swedish Officers.

SIXTY-EIGHT TO Go. internal revenue, That Many Clerks in the Land Office Must Be Discharged. ‘The last day of the present month will close, for the present at lenst, the official existence of some sixty-eight clerks in tho general land office. ‘The reason for this action is graphically shown by the following table prepared from the appropriation bills of last year and this year: 1892. 1893. Decrease. Class 4. 32. 30. 2 Clase 3. 62. 56. 6.

Commissionor Lamoreux left for his home in | Wisconsin last week. and it is stated that before going he placed in the hands of the Secretary a list of the names of those whom he reeom: mended for dismissal. It is expected that the announcement of the action of the Secretary will be made in the course of a week or so, a THE CHOCTAW WAR. Secretary Hoke Smith Keceives a Report Reviewing the Troubles. Secretary Hoke Smith has received from In- spector Faison a report of his investigation of the recent troubles between the Jones and Locke factions of the Choctaw nation. The re- port is a minute and an intelligent recital of the causes which led to the hostilities between the Choctaw militia and the Locke party, and shows that ina measure both parties were to blame, but at the same time much of the difficulty arose from a misunderstanding and an er- Toneous conception of the purposes of each other. The report is accompanied by volumin- ous testimony taken during the course of the investigation. The course pursued by Inspector Faison meets with the entire approval of Secre- tary Hoke Smith. , June 20, at the rooms of the civil service commission to fill a vacancy of a cartographic draftsman in the hydrographic office, Navy Department, salary of $1,200 per annum. —__—_—__.- ____— The Alert Reaches Corea.

In accordance with the recommendation of First Controller Bowler, who adopts the con- clusion heretofore arrived at by two of his Predecessors, but not carried out by the register, Acting Register Smith has opened @ new ledger account with tho District of Columbia, in which will appear the daily balance due to or from the District of Colum- bia at the close of each jing day's busi- ness. The matter was submitted by the acting register to Secretary Carlisle, who fully approved the action taken, and on the first of July the account will be opened, and on the following day and each day thereafter it Till be possible. for the Treasury Department to ascertain without delay and with perfect exactness the exact state of any account to which the District of Columbia is a party and its exact balance. ‘This action was taken. it is stated, in order to prevent the District of Columbia from becoming a debtor to the United States except as provided by law, which is peculiar as respects the District. THE ARGENTINE CABINET. Little Known Here of the Political Crisis in Buenos Ayres. The legation of the Argentine Republic in this city is without information regarding the cabinet crisis in tnut country save what is given in the news dispatches from Buenos Ayres. Senor Carranza, charge d'affaires, is not well, being confined to the house by a slight indis- position, and was not able to submit to an inter- view today. A gentleman well posted in South American affairs, however, told the re- porter that the probable reason for the resignation of the old cabinet was dissension among the members over internal affairs. An insurrection of some considerable dimensions has preyailed for weeks in the prov- inces of Cerrientes and Entre Rios, which one member of the cabinet, if not more. supported. ‘There had been serious fighting between the gov- ernment troops and insurgents until about a month ago. the gentleman said, since which time he had not heard of any conflicts. What the status of the insurrection was now he could not, therefore, say, but was inclined to believe that it had’ been’ sup- preseed, and that out of the trouble had come the necessity of choosing financial reverses of years ago, he stated, had, in his opinion. nothing to do with the change. The country had now messurably recovered from the effects of the depression which led, [ise to the failure of the great firm of ring Bros., London. IMPORTANT PENSION RULES, Based on the Principle Contained in the Bennett Decision. . The Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Hoke Smith, had before him today the rules and regulations prepared at the pension office which will govern the issue of pensions under the law of June 27, 1890. He intends to ap- Prove these which embody the principles laid down in the recent Bennett decision, As is well known, this decision holds that the disabilities which are pensionable under the law of 1890 must be of » permanent char- acter, incapacitating for the performance of manual labor to such a degree as to produce inability to earn = sup- port, It is proposed “that with these rules asa guide to investigate the pension cases al- ready granted under the law of 1890, and to ascertain whether they have been issued in dis- regard of the principles enunciated in the Ben- nett decision. ries se MINISTER BLOUNT’s INTENTIONS. No Information Received Here About His Reported Resignation. If it is true, as reported from Honolulu that Minister Blount has tendered his resignation, it is somewhat singular, to say the least, that Secretary Gresham does not know it. The cor- respondence between Mr. Biount and the depart- ment up todate contaius nothing to indicateany reason for the ministers taking such summary action. Consequently in the absence of official advices to the contrary the State Department officials are inclined to give no credence to the report. Minister Blount went to Hawaii on & special mission and was subsequently appojnted minister to that country in order to permit of its accomplishment. It was only last week that Secretary Gresham received 8 dispatch from him accepting the app and saying that he had qualified. W! understood that he does not expect to serve as minister throughout the entire term of this a ministration, it is only reneonable to suj ose that be will retain his ofice until «completed the diplomatic trusted to him. would not have accepted the office it he intended to keep it only for a few montha, The only plausible excuse for his resignation would be that something has recently occurred in Hawaii to displease Itim. The department has no knowledge, however, of any such occur rence, and is not inclined to believe that any- thing wrong bas taken place.

He said he could not say what the result would be, but it did seem to him that no court would decide that the government was com- pelled to purehase silver and store it away in vaulte. “It might just as well be held,” he contin- ued, “that the government should buy wheat, iron or any other commodity and store it away. If the present policy is continued the silver in the treasury vaults will after awhile have little more value, or, at !east, will be of no more use to the government than so much pig iron. “It also seems to be the judgment of leading financiers that bonds should be issned to keep up the gold reserve and to meet the foreign demand for gold and that no doubt would solve the problem for a time. I think, however,that Secretary Carlisle should decline to make any farther purchases of silver, on the ground that the Sherman law is unconstitutional.” “Have you any fears of a serious panic?” ; 1 don’t think there can be a serious panic.’ There istoo much money in the coun- try for a bad panic to occur, What is needed mort just now ix, as Mr. Cleveland has said, fidence upon the part of the people.” “Isn't it possible the administration fears the issuing of bonds might injure the Democratic ty nearly 80 much as business disasters. ‘There should be no politics in this matter.

It is understood that the Duke of Veragua will not return to Washington, as origi- nally intended, to make his farewell to the President before returning to Spaia, This formality was dispensed with in the program of the Infanta Exlalie, and it is not deemed necessary that the duke should make a detour on his journey from Chicago eastward in erder to comply with a rule of etiquette that has been marked by the breach rather than by the observance in previous visits of distinguished foreigners, M’KINLEY TO RUN.| Ohio's Governor Nominated for An- other Term, HE SIGNIFIES HIS ACCEPTANCE. The Convention Completes the Ticket and Adjourns. GOV. McKINLEY NAMED AGAIN. He 1s Renominated by Acclamation at Colum! +» Ohio. Conumses, June 8.—When the delegates to | the republican state convention got out of doors | this morning they found every business block | on High street from the Union depot up to the State House ground, and far beyond gaily deco- | rated with bunting. stars and stripes and | streamers that were different in color and de- sign to anything they had ever seen. Some of them thought that this was sur- prise on the part of the citizens by way of a recognition of the prospective renomination of | Gov. McKinley by acclamation, but they were | undeceived with the information that these strange-looking flags with the royal colors of | Spain and the gorgeous attire of the thor | oughfares were intended as a compliment to the Duke of Veragus and his party. A few minutes after 10 o'clock Gen. Gros- | venor called the convention to order. and Rev. Dr. N. H. Holmes implored the Divine biessing on the proceedings. ‘A hearty greoting was accorded Mr. H. M. Daugherty when he was introduced as nent chairman, and in recognition of the cor- | diality he limited his speech to three minutes. ‘The report of the committee on resolutions was next in order. It was read by Congressman G. W. Hulick of Clermont. THE RESOLUTIONS. The resolutions indorse the republican na- tional platform of 1892 and the administrations of Harrison and McKinley. Biennial sessions | of the legislature are favored. Protection and | reciprocity are indoreed and the free wool bill denounced. Rigid enforcement of the immi- gration laws are demanded and liberal pensions ‘approved. Each plank was loudly applauded. GOV. M’KINLEY RENOMINATED. The decks were now cleared for nominations. | Gov. McKinley's name was presented by Col. | Bob Nevins of Dayton and seconded by Senator J. W. Nichols of Belmont. There were no sther nominations, aud the governor was declared the nominee, amid a scene of wid enthasiasm. The committee wasappointed to conduct him to the hall. and a few moments later he made his appearance. He was grected with cheers, | prolonged for several moments. GOV. M’ KINKEY'S sPEECH. Taccept the nomina- | tion which you have unanimously tendered me, and I thank you for it. It is an honor to have it thus offered; it is a duty to accopt it. I might the honor; I couid ‘The governor then Ohio this year. This state is the coveted field of the opposition; they will center hero, but with unity, harmony and courage our party ph over all. We do not wait for the enemy to form their line aud challenge us to | contest. We chailenge them early upon every issue and upon every line of controversy, state | or national, which divides us. Hl A brief review of the conduct of Ohio state | affairs during the last eighteen months was given | by the speaker. : Turning from exclusive local matters, Gov. | McKinley said: “The national administration has done noth- ing thus far except to create in the minds of | business men deep distrust. Tie financial | situation which for the most part has prevailed since the 4th of March hax not been improved, nor has the financial stringency been reiieved by anything the national administration has said or done. It has announced no policy, suggested no relief and given no sign of ite | disposition or ability to restore _ con- | fidence, stop the outflow of gold to} toreign countries and the contraction which | has taken place at home. The #100,000,000 of. gold reserve which Mr. Cleveland, in his first administration, set apart asasacred fund to! redeem the greenbacks, and which sum he dedi- cated to that purpose and no other, has been, singularly enough, encroached upon by him first; he bas been’ the first to drop below the bundred-million line which be himself had established as the only line of safety. “The democratic victory of 1892,” the gov- ernor said, “has not been able to bring the bet- ter times promised. It has not been able to | maintain the good times which were enjoyed everywhere in this country on the day of the Tictory. | Business failures have increased, | banks have suspended, money is harder to bor- row and borrowers are compelled to pay higher interest for their loans than for many, many years. Feverish uncertainty prevailed in every financial and business circle. Labor and capital are in doubt about the future. It has been our condition for two months, and no change for the better is at this moment appar- ent.” i TRE TARIFF. Proceeding to the tariff, he said: | “What will the democrats do with the tariff? We can only wait and see, but the waiting and the anxiety and the uncertainty is peralyzation. Certain it is they will make wool free. and thus strike down one of Ohio's great agricultural | products, Tin ee also must be made free, and the new and splendid enterprises for mak- ing black sheets and tinning them must be crippled financially, the millions of capital in- vested imperiled’ and the thousands of workingmen driven from employment or be forced to work at reduced wages. Sugar will have to go from the list of free articles to ‘the list of tariffed articles, and cheap sugar be | again made dear to the masses. Coal, another product of Ohio, must be made free. "A gen- eral revision upon a British free trade basis must tak if thoy do what they promised in 1892, and upon which promises they claim their victory was won—every vestige of pro- | tection from the laboring man and industries of the United States must be withdrawn and a free trade era must be inaugurated. Do we want this?” “Republican victories from this time on are the surest preventive against the execution of democratic purposes an: the wholesale destruc. tion of our industries, to be followed by the degradation of our labor. Let us inaugurate these victories in Ohio; let us commence today and now. PENSIONS | “Notice has gone forth that not only is the tariff to be revised, but’ that the pension list is to be revived. War is to be waged upon the pensioners of the country. No honest man ill object to a purging of this roll of all who are unworthily there. Every case must rest | upon its own facts. Ido not object to un- worthy men being stricken from the roll, if | there ‘are such, but I do object to the im- | pression which in some quarters is being made that this whole pension business is a fraud. It is published in the papers that an army of pension examiners are to be let loose to travel from county to county and from town to town to hunt pensioners and discover if pos- sible if there be men here and there who draw one or two dollars a month in excess of what they aro entitied to under the law. “The pubiished ruling of the Secretary of the Interior announced in the press will strike from the pension roll of the country hundreds and thousands of worthy and dependent soldiers, who, if not altogether incapacitated, are prac- tically incapacitated from earning a living for themecives and families. It is to this universal indictment against pensioners that I enter a solemn and emphatic protest.” REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES. In conclusion Mr. McKinley said: “Our principles are not ephemeral, but eter- nal. They are part and parcel of the founda- | sick leave of absence. | $60 reward, he say: tion and fabric of our government. They made HEAVY LOSS AT FARGO One-Half the North Dakota Town Wiped Out.

The admims- tration should use it promptly if required. Uneertainty of the financial policy of the gov- ernment breeds distrust in the minds of the ple. The word of confidence and courage orn of purpose is the need of the hour and should no longer remain unspoken.” The platform was adopted by acclamation. The foliowing were renominated by nc- clamation: Treasurer, W. T. Cope; attorney general, John K. Richards; jadge supreme court, Jos. P. Bradbury; member board-publie works, Frank J. McCulloch. The expected contest developed over the so- lection of a candidate for food and dairy com- missioner. B. F. McNeal was named for ro- nomination, while Lucas county nominated Walter Lrown of Toledo. Heated speeches Nore made by the adherents of both candi- tes. Aneagle was adopted as the partyemblem and at 12:30 the convention adjourned sine die. SSR es en Government Receipts Today.
