INTO CIRCULATION. Over $7,000,000 Will Be Released by Pre- payments on Bonds. Secretary Carlisle decided this morning to anticipate the quarterly interest on the United States four per cent bonds and Pacific railroad bonds, and this mornihg issued a notice to all treasurers and subtreasurers to honor coupons and checks on interest due on four per cent consols of 1907. No rebate will be charged on this prepayment. ‘The quarterly interest checks will be mailed to the owners of regis- tered bonds on Saturday next. ‘The only object in anticipating the interest, hich, in point of fact, would be lees than ten days, would be torelieve the money market to the extent of the interest ‘This would re- lease $7,500,000 now in the treasury and put a like amount into active circulation Ia the busi- ness centers of the country. ‘Those That Are Reappointed and Will Serve for Another Year.

Church & Chareh, the patent lawyers, supporting their petition praying for the disbarment from prac- tice before tho patent office of Messrs. Foster & Freeman of this city and Mr. Simonds of New York, ex-commissioner of patents, on charges of improper conduct aa attorneys. ‘The charges were filed May 17 and publiched in Tae Star at the time. The cherges were made in the form of « petition for disbarment from practice, which petition in part was as follows: “Your petitioners respectfully represent that they are attorneys-at-law, doing business in tho city of Washington, D. ©., and are the attor- neys of record in the matter of numerous ap- plications of Daniel Drawbangh for improve- ments in telephony now pending in the United States patent office; that under the rules and practice of the patent office inspection of pend ing applications and of the record proceedings rounder is not permitted, save by oltcers of the goverment Baving. such records in charge, and by the applicant or his pliant oF his ‘a copy of lication or record; ‘hat your peti- tioners are advised and believe that, notwith- standing these wholesome and time-honored regulations, the files and drawings of tertain live pending applications of their client, Daniel | Drawbaugh, and of the records of ceedings thereunder, were.during t February and March. 1893, upon the request of Messrs, Foster & Freeman of Washington, D.

Ex-Commissioner Simonds was present this morning and was attended by his counsel, Judge Payson, his former colieague in Con- gross, Messrs. Foster & Freeman were pres- ent with thetr counsel, Judge Jere Wilson. Mr. Swan and Mr. J, J. Starrow, counsel of the Bell Telephone Company, were also present. Chief Bennett of the patent office was in at- fendanee with bis counsel, Col. Petrick O'Fur~ THE INVESTIGATION OPENED. The room was well filled when the hearing began. Mr. M. E. Church made a few opening remarks and then called for Messrs. Magruder and Darby as the first witnesses that he desired to interrogate. Mr. Seymour said that this matter came to his notice in the form of consideration of the thin the office. In this connection he tad ‘questioned a Mise Longfellow and she. bad made a statement which was on the désk in corrected form for the use of counsel. The statement would not be considered in evidence, but counsel might like to see it for their own + | information. FIRST WITNESS, W. B. Magruder was first called to testify and was sworn by the commissioner. He has been a patent office clerk for seventeen years, and since March, "91, had been assietant to the chief clerk. Prior to that he was in the assign- ment and copying division. He was under Mr. ‘Mulligan, Mr. nd Mr. Lord as chiefs of the bureau. Mr. Magruder told of the conrse the request for a certified copy of an applica: tion fue a patent would go if regularly filed with the office. He went into the matter ae considerable detail, showing the long course taken in the office and the large amount of red tape that had to be cut and tied before the re- quest was granted, Ifa petition were filed for leave to have a copy made this would not be filed with tho mail room as the other would to get ite num- der. DRAWBAUOH PATENT. Mr. Church, who did the examining, said that ko had before him a petition from the Ameri- can Bell Telephone Company by its counsel, Mr. Swan, asking for permission toexamine the application fora patent for improvements in telephoning of one Daniel Drawbangh, filed July 26, 1880. and known as an abandoned ap- plication. ‘The petition was sworn to February 18, 1993, and was indorsed on the back on the same date, showing that the permission had been granted by Commissioner Simonds. At- tached to the petition was a paper bearing a number of stamps and statements written on the back. The witness explained at length how such slips came to be attached. On one paper was stamped “A. & 8., 15179, tent office,” und date. ‘The lotters A. & S., ¢ explained, stood for the American Bell ‘Tele phone Company and its attorney, Mr. Swan. Mr. Magruder then explained the significance of the other stamps and indorsements on the back of the papers, which again shewed the routine followed by such a petition. FURTHER MARKS, Beneath this last stamp was written “tracing ordered.” ‘he date, March, 1893, was also written, and the cost, $10, with rome initials showing through whose hands the petition had gone. At the bottom of the paper, w Ted pencil, was the word “speciul. ‘tness said, would indicate that the order had en made special one.

One of the practical results of the recent disaster at Ford's Theater building was the prompt appointment by Secretary Lamont of a commission of army officers,consisting of Quar- termaster General Batchelder, Surgeon General Sternberg and Captain Knight of the engineer corps,to examine all the buildings, outside of the ‘War Department building,occupied by branches of that department, in order to ascertain their safety and stability. ‘The evident object of the examination was to prevent the possibility of » repetition of such an accident through waut of precaution, The army board has partially com- pleted ite work by the examination of the Speiden building, on F street between 17th and 18th streets; the Winder's annex, 610 17th street, and the building at the corner of 18th and G streets, occupied by the war records office. The Spoiden building is a government building and is used by the War Department asa printing office. The board reports that it is perfectly safe, but recommends as a measure of precaution that additional supports be placed under the printing presses on the second floor. Suggestions are also made for improving the ventilation of the building. ‘WINDER BUILDING. The building at 610 17th street, known as ‘Windner's annex, is used by the record and pension office and contains about forty clerks. Na structural weakness was apparent in this Duilding, but, inthe in of economy solely, the bosrg recommends that it be vacated at the expiration of the presont lease and the clerical force now employed there be trans ferred to the new quarters engaged for the 10th street force of that office in the Union building, on G street, now occupied by the city post office, where there is said to be ample accom- modations for additional clerks. The 17th street building is owned by Mr. John H. Clark and is leased to the goverament at $2,400 annum. The present lease expires on ihe roximo,so there will be no difficulty in vacat- ng tat once. |The Union building is particu | Sige" larly well adapted to the purposes of Department, and theerection of a few more fire escapes is the only recommendation in re- gard to it made by the army board. The building at the corner of 18th and G streets has only « few occupants and will not be neodod by the fovernment very much longer, asthe compilation of the records of the rebellion fs nearing completion. In view of these con- siderations the board makes no recommenda- tion in regard to this building. The only other building to be examined by the board is the Army Medical Museum, and as that is anew building, constructed to bear the greatest pos- sible weight, itis not likely that the board will find it necessary to suggest any changes to it sure the stability and wecurity of the building. cite report of the boerd was submitted to Lamont yesterday. He will un- doubted approve its recommendations, es- pecially the one providing for the transfer of the clerical force from the Winder's annex to the Union building. THE GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD. A Way May Be Found of Bringing the ‘Trolley Company to Terms. It seems after all there is s reasonable ground for the belief that the operations of the trolley road on the battlefield of Gettysburg may yet ‘be checked whenever they are harmful or de- structive of points of interest, and that this de- sirable end may be peacefully accomplished. The report of Mr. Batchelder, one of the members of the Gettysburg battlefield commis- sion, strongly recommended interference by the government, but after thorough examina- tion the legal officers of the War Department have concluded that the government can do nothing whatever, either now or after July 1 next, to check the vandalistic tendencies of the electric company. The question may ulti- mately be referred to the Attorney General, with a view to affording him an opportunity to discover an opening for governmental inter- ference for the preservation of the historic grounds, A CONFERENCE IX JULY. The Gettysburg Battlefield Association will meet at Gettysburg on July 2, and it is prob- able that the national commission will also meet there about the same time. This will bring the association and the commission to- gothec for the Gret timo, end there may be op- tunity for fallconference, with the probabli- ty of accomplishing something toward the trolley company to terms. At lenst that is the idea of Col. John P. Nicholson, president of the national commission. It appears that the battlefield association controls directly or indirectly certain privileges that may be of great value to the railroad com- pany and it is hoped that some of these, with the consent of the association, may be given to the ratiroad company in return for concessions | on its part in such matters. A slight change | might be made in the location of certain parts of the trolley line that at present would inter- | fere seriously with the historical associations of ‘the battlefield. WHAT THE LINE BAS DONE. For instance, it appears that the railroad has inadvertently run its line across a small plot of ground purchased and held by a New York regi- ment for the ee ces of erecting 4 monument, The road can and, moreover, it pe mrrugees cot ‘on either side without the consent of the association, so that here also is fair ground for compromise, not to touch upon many other considerations that may arise as rensons for an amicable settlement of ‘the question at issue between the trolley com- pany on one side and the United States. the state of Pennsylvania and the Battlefeld Asso- ciation on the other. SS A WEEDING-OUT PROCESS, Investigations That Are Going on tn the Various Government Departments. A goneral plan for the betterment of the de- partmental service of the government has been agreed upon by the several heads of the execu- tive departments, and, when put into operation as the result of investigations now being made, ie expected to produce results of a radical character. In carrying out this general plan circular letters of instruction have been ad- dressed to the chiefs of bureaus and divisions in every department of the goveramental service at Washington. Ina general way this letter asks all clerks, male and female, to state their age, when appointed, whence appointed, present grade, last promotions, number of rel- atives in office, &c., &c., and such like ques- tions, which, ‘when answered, will gi glancea satisfactory history of the cler! Gial life. When all these questions have been answered the appointment clerks of the several into a kind of clearing house board, compare notes and make such recommendations as the facts in each particular case may seem to warrant. ‘These investigations are expocted to disclose that numerous government employes are aliens, also that many families have from three to ten relatives in government service, and that many clerks and others now carried on the rolls are too old and decrepid to perform efficient work | and are represented by substitutes at groatly reduced par. ‘These facta when cstablivhed will form the basis of a general reorganization along the line and by the “‘weoding-out” pro- cess the government worvice is expected to be increased in efficiency fully 10 or 15 per cent, -— Local Contractor Wins. ‘The lowest bidder for the cut-stone work, brick work, superstructure of roof, &¢., of the office building to be constructed at York, Pe, Pe, was Brank Baldwin of this olts, His bid | delegation from the east in time to be present | he intended to give to various persons and tor in ground, | gi he had lent the as to whethor or not it would be |geant-at-arma of the Senate gots it, Another nogro ecutive departments will form themselves | A MODEST CEREMONY Locomotive Engineers to Be Leland Stanford's Pallbearers.

M18 MAXY CHARITIER DURING LIFE. ‘Mr. Stanford gave freely from his for- tune for benevolent purposes, Besides the great endowments coming from his bounty, he gave away a fortune each vear privately. Having ® reputation for | philanthropy, the appeals made to him for axaistance were almost limitless in number. His mail every day was loaded with letters asking for various sums of money as loans or gifts, ranging from a few dol- lars to ten thousand or more. He received hundreds of photographs of children named after him or his son, with the expectation that they might draw on his bounty, and there is hardly a known scheme for drawing out money from the charitable which was not tried on him daily.
