Scandal In M-htin Washington.
WASHINGTON , July 3. A scanda
will one of these days grow out of ai
old abuse in the executive department
here if the cabinet oflicers' attentioi
is not called to it in time. It is in tin
practice of clerks who draw rcgula :
salaries from the government actinj
as notaries public during their work
ing hours aim charging regular fee :
for their work , which invariably ' re
lates to the business in the departmen
where they are employed. For in
stance , there is at least one notan
public in the pension office who is :
regular clerk and receives a salary a-
such from the government. It i :
necessary in order to have a case made
special now. for applicants , or sonu
one representing them , to make , alii
davit to certain facts. If the appli.
cant or his or her representative up.
plies in person he naturally goes be
fore the notary in the oilice to makt
the affidavit. The notary takes tht
time from the government to draw tiie
affidavit , if- necessary , and make the
certification , and then charges tiie applicant -
plicant the tame fees that notaries on
the outside who do not receive salaries
from the government get. The point
is that if it is right for these eierKs to
act as notaries they shojlu not be
allowed to charge fees for ser
vices relating to business before the
departments in which they , are em
ployed. Especially is this true when
the work is done in the time of the
government. The fact has repeatedly
been emphasized that where tiie law or
rules require affidavits in pension cases
pending , in order to complete them ,
and they are made in" the pension
bureau , there should be : i notary wiio
will act free of charge , as those who
have to stand thebrunt.of it can in few
instances well bear the expense. In
every department this wrong has for
many years been in practice , and un
less the heads of the departments take
it in hand and rectify it congress will
do so. If a postmaster finds it neces
sary , in the postollice department , to
make an affidavit in order to close up
some business , he is shown to a cleric ,
who takes the time out of the govern
ment to certify or acknowledge the
oath , and then he charges the same
as a private citizen. The same is true
in the treasury , war and other depart
ments , for your correspondent has
himself .seen the work done and
the charges paid of recent date.
Some time ago this abuse was called
to the attention of the secret-arv of
war , and he attempted to remedy it.
A notary public , who was a clerk ,
swore in a large number of clerks one
day , during working hours , and charged
them an aggregate of something over
$100. In audition to 'his regular sala
ry this was doing a good business.
The secretary of wa > - said it was an
outrage , but , the thing goes on. These
notarial clerks would charge the gov
ernment itself for affidavits if there
was any one to levy the charge upon.
There should unquestionably be a clerk
in each department wiio was author
ized to take acknowledgments , and
whenever the business relates in any
way to the business of the department
there should be no charge. If the bus
iness did not relate to the department
business it should not be taken at ; ill.
A law of this kind is promised by sev
eral congressmen , but it can be antic
ipated now by the cabinet officers.

WASHINGTON' , July 3. In cxpiana-
ion of the change in the form of the
iebt statement issued yesterday and
he reason therefor made by the sec-
etary of the treasury , he calls atten-
ion to certain changes in the monthly
iebt statement issued for June. IS'Jl ,
ind in the daily statement of cash in
he treasury. Heretofore the manner
ind make-up of the monthly stute-
nent required a showing of increase
> r decrease in the public debt. Under
his form it happened on several oc-
: asions , when large purchases of bonds
vere made , the statement following
vouid show an increase in the public
iebt when a reduction had really been
iffectcd. This was owing to the fact
hat the principal premium paid for
jonus reduced the cash on hand be-
onci the amount of the bonds actually
adeemed. The secretary concluded
.o separate the statement of the debt
rom .the statement of cash in the treas-
iry. Hereafter the statement of cash
m hand will show the net increase
rom month to month , and this state
ment will be a part of the form adopt-
: d. In making up the new statement

how the different kinds of money in-
luded in the totals. Against this teal -
al will be stated the cash liabilities ,

lereafter deduct from his cash balance
he amount on deposit in national
ianks nor the fractional silver coin on

eason why this should ever have been

LTXCOI.X , Neb. , July 1. The st
preme court has handed down the Ion
looked for decision in the Neil casi
Neil will have to hang October i ) . IS'Jl
The main points in the case wer
whether the jury should have visile
the scene of the murder without th
prisoner ; whether such viewing of th
premises was evidence , and whethc
tlie evidence admitted as to the findin
of the body of Dorothy Jones was , par
of the resgesf.u. and whether the jur
was legally emnnnneled. Neil's at
torneys contended that he had no
waived his right to go with the jur ;
to the premises , and that he could node
do so. The stale contended that hi
had waived his right and did so
Judge Cobb hands down the foliowin ;
opinion :
It is not my purpose to discuss th <
question or questions of law. It i :
enough to say that the statute empow
eis a trial court in its discretion U
send a jury to view the scene of tin
Commission of the crime when the ac
cused is on trial for its commi.-sion.
'Doubtless the primary feature and the
= ole ooject of such view is to enable
the jury , by the location of the
grounds , buildings , fences or other in
animate objects at and near the scene
of the act.- constituting the crime
which they are investigating , so to
better enable them to apply the facts
to be stated to them by witnesses.
Whether the sight of these immediate
objects is to be considered as evidence
before the jury is a question not deemed
important to decide in this case , and
it is not decided. It is not suggested ,
nor am I able to see , that by this in
struction the. plaintiff in error was or
zould have been deprived of anything
which could have tended to his favorer
or benefit. It is not suggested in the
record or brief that the evidence fails
to sustain the verdict. The judgment
of the district court is allirineu. " '

Hullctlii on Aluminum.
WASHINGTON' , July 1. The census
bureau in a bulletin on the subject of
aluminum says : "This interesting-
metal has at last reached a stage of
actual production , and the United
States is now one of the leading pro
ducers. The all important feature of
the industry at present , however , is
an effort by new processes to reduce
the cost of making the metal. Promi
nence is therefore given to a concise
and very exact resume of tne methods
of extraction of aluminum and their
results for a number ofears , with
other valuable information leading to
this industry. Tne product , for the
census year 1SSU was -17. HIS pounds ,
including aluminum in alloys valued
at $ 'J-1 , ouo. The principal sources of
aluminum have heretofore been cryo
lite from Greenland , and imported
bauxite , but recently discoveries of
bauxite have been mauo in Arkansas

Christian church Sunday William
irachs. a saloon keeper , who had been
suddenly seized with insanity , in loud
tones called on the Rev. Mr. Claris to
save his soul , shouting and exhorting
in the wildest manner. .The women
and chilren and a great many of the
men lied from the church , creatih'g a ,
panic in their efforts to escape the
madman. Chief of 1'oliee Johnson
and Lieutenant Robertson werejsent
for and with the assistance of several
men succeeded , after a desperate strug
gle , in ejecting the intruder , ' who
made a wicked light. Sachs' faithful
dog stayed with him in the struggle
and the animal had to behot before
the oflicers could taice their urisoner.
An Appeal for Flood > itHVr T .
CIIEKOKKE , la. , June oO. ' The' fol
lowing appeal is issued :
To the American public whose hearts
and pocket books are open simultane
ously to every appeal lo to those in
need : The enterprising , progressive
and always prosperous little town of
Cherokee is in sore distress. Flood's1'
have rendered 500 people homeless
and dependent upon public charity.
Many of those have lost everything-
they possessed , bareh escaping with
their lives. The damage done will
reach ? 2oO,000. Every bridge in the
city is gone and nearly every bridge
in the county so that outside of caring1
for the = e who have been rendered
homeless , our people fee ! the burden
will be heavy. We feet that we can
not meet the immediate wants of all
the people in distress , ana therefore
as-k the outside world for assistance.
Our people have always responded llb-
qraiiy to every appeal for aid and much
ns we regret the necessity for asking it
we feel that it is only nof ssairy to
notify the American people and our ap
peal will be responded to. Contriba- '
tions may be sent to 1) . II. Bloom ,
mayor , and our executive committee
will see that every doLur 13 nronerly
expended. Ite-pecifiuy ,

Parker , in his sermon in tue temple
Sunday , severely denounced the selee-
lion of Sunday as the date of the kais-
: r s proposed visit , to the naval cxhi-
lion.He urged that it wa = a bad lesson
tor Englishmen thus to desecrate the
Lord's day in pursuit of secular amus-e-
nent and instruction and that the
uler of the German empire ought to
jive a better example. He alluded to
.he ample time which royal imperial
icrsonages appeared to have for amuse-
nent on week days and thought , the
jmperor might without io to himself
> r his people spare a little of such
line for the visit in question.
