WASHINGTON BUREAU OP THE HER ,
1407 F Street , N. W.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 25.
The work of the administration during
tlio pant fiscal year will bo reviewed In the
Annual reports of tlio cabinet officials which
be submitted b fore the end of Novcm- '
IICT The estimates of approprlntlons re
quired for the various departments will be
submitted to tlic secretary of the treasury
on or b-foro October 1. Secretary Morton
of the Agricultural department probably
will submit h's nnnunl report In the first
week of November. He lias Issued an order I
calling tipon the chiefs of each bureau to
submit thi'lr reports b fore September 15. I
These will review tlio work and omount |
nnd character of expenditure ! ! required dur-
1
Ing the present year , and certain estimates
for thn fiscal year ending June 30 , 1890. I
Secretary Morton's report "III undoubtedly
be well on the economical plan pursued In
cutting < 1o\\n expenses of the various
branches of the department and showing
a reduction oC 14 per csnl In the expendi
tures during the lust fiscal year. As a '
lesult , more than $500,000 will bu returned
to the Trcasuiy department out of the ap
propriations for the fiscal year.
In discussing the subject U will be stated
that the saving of funds lias bceii accom
plished without Impairment to the success
of the department , but through judicious
pruning The Influence of the civil service
la the department will also bo commented
on. AVhen Secretary Morton received his
appointment he was a mild advocate or
civil service reform , and ho has subsequently
become thoroughly In sympathy with ltn
principles. It Is stated that lie believes
in merit as the solo criterion as to the pro
motions and other changes In the oflicc per
sonnel. In many cases , wheie not legally
required , ho has applied civil service ex
aminations for professorships In the weather
bureau. He will probably urge the exten
sion of the cMl service In the lower gr.nl es
ami BO as to Include several chiefs of de
partment divisions , as well as other unique
featurci of departmental policy , as there
arc no division chiefs In the govern
ment who are In the el ass I-
fl > d Ben Ice. In this connection the
rsport Is expected to touch en the entirely
voluntary action In placing all meat and
animal Inspectors In the classified service.
Another feature of the report may be a defi
nition of the new law placing appropriations
for experiment stations under federal super
vision. This action was foreshadowed In the
last annual report. Secretary Morton , As-
kltaiit Secretary Uabncy and the directors of
cxpeiImeut stations have been engaged for
Home time In preparing schedules for the re
ports , which will hereafter be made by the
stations.
These forms will bo Issued In a few days.
The present appropriation for the work Is
(7-15.000 , and each station la place 1 under
rigid requirements to account fjr the fl&.OOO
placed at Its disposal.
HI3A60N FOR REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION.
Many of the republican senators do not con-
Blcler It at all essential that the bill re
pealing the provisions In the tariff bill fcr
the exemption Ir m the revemn tax of al
cohol used In the arts should pass , and while
the majority of them arc willing that the
democrats should liavo their way about this
matter , they admit If wisely adi.ilnlstered
the provision Is an entirely proper one.
Hence their motive in preventing the trans
action cf business by the Eenate In the ab
sence of a quorum. They say It Is not bated
upon tha desire to anatgonlzo the democrats
bu far as the measure is concerned.
The principal objection made to the proVision -
Vision fcr free alcohol for the arts and man
ufactures la that It will be extremely dim-
cult , If not Impossible , to make regulations
which will not permit gross frauds. The
Treasury department lias raised this point.
Republican senators who have given atten
tion to the subject think It will l possible
to reduce the possibilities ot fraud to a min
imum , and they say the details for such
regulations as will accomplish this are found
in the amendment to the Mills bill on this
subject , which passed the senate In 1SSS ,
but was not agreed to by the house. This
measure was presented In the Eenate
during the pendency there of the Wil
son tariff bill aa an amendment by
Senator Platt , but was not acted upon. This
measure- provided for prhate bonded ware
houses In which distilled spirits of alcholollc
strength to be used In the arts and manu
factures might be stored , having been re
moved from public Uomle-1 warehouses in
original casks or packages , properly stamped.
Each of these private warehouses was to bo
placed In the custody of the storekeeper and
the proprietor not being allowed to enter
It except In the presence ot the former. Be
fore receiving the spirits from the public
warehouse the proprietor of the private
establishment was to bo required to give a
bond , stating the purpose for which the
Bplrltawere to bo used , and heavy penalties
were Imposed In case ol ai violation ot the
tend or act as a whole.
The amendment also provided for the re
moval ot spirits from the private warehouses
to the storeroom of the manufacturer , which
removal could ho made without paying the
revenue tax upon compliance with the law
and regulations. It was then to be placed
In a storeroom which should have but one
door and the revenue officer was to have
access to this , nnd the spirits were not to be
taken out of the original cases until they
Dhould be withdrawn for Immediate use. The
bill also provided that the revenue- officials
could have- access to all parts of the manu
factory and should report to the Internal
revenue official monthly.
The- same bill provided for the melhylza-
tlon of spirits In private bonded warehouses
nnd their withdrawal free of tax after
undergoing this process. The republican
nenatora call attention to the fact that the
provisions In the tariff bill which the demo
crats desire to repeal leave It to the secre
tary to make all necessary preparations for
putting the law Into effect , and they think
that If the suggestions furnished by this
amendment shall be adopted the provision
may be allowed to stand with safety and
even with benefit.
ASK FOR TAYLOR'S REMOA'AL , .
Tlio Investigation of C. J. H. Taylor , the
colored register ot deeds for the District of
Columbia , was closed today. The report of
the civil service committee , prepared by Mr.
Proctor of Kentucky , urges the president to
promptly remove T ylor. The latter , In a
letter to the committee , denies the published
Interviews In which ho wai made to- say
that local political associations In Washing
ton were guilty of assessing federal em
ployes. Ho Intimates that the commission
Is being made the tool of men , to satisfy
their personal enmity , and .principally by
one who has a police court record , 1I also
attacks W , Calvin Chase , editor of the Wash
ington Deo. Taylor says he will tender his
reilgnatlon us soon as It Is asked for. Rev
P. F. White , sergeanl-at-arms of the Negro
Democratic league , denies that lie carried
letters to government employes ordering them
to appear at league headquarters- penalty
ut removal. He cla'mi the letters wtre to
member * of the- league only , asking them to
call at headquarters to arrange for the de-
puslt ot membership dues.
Robert G. Still , chief of the Afro-Ameri
can bureau ot organization of the democratic
campaign committee , was a witness today.
Ills testimony was damaging to Taylor. Still
testified that Taylor was a member of the
advlflory board of the bureau until the com-
ml&slon commenced Its Investigation ot the
ussetMntnt letter : which bore the names of
Taylsr and Btlll. The full consent of the
recorder. Still said , had been obtained be
fore their names were uted on the circulars.
The report was sent to the president today
signed by the full board , Messrs. Proctor ,
Rootcvelt and Layman. The committee -will
leave Its publication In the newspapers to
the president.
INDIAN TERRITORY COAL , JUNES.

DEMOCRATS EXPECT DEFEAT ,
Congress has been petering out for more
than three necks , and today It Is the ver
dict of the most experienced of the "old
timers" that there has rarely occurred a
breaking up o ( the long session when every
one was so glad to say the last word , and
when the dominant party went forth to anew
now campaign with so little enthusiasm.
A southern democrat says : "I go home j
with a very heavy heart. I am rcnoinlnated
almost by acclamation. I am certain of re
election. Uut , although I am white haired
and was In politics before- Port Sumtcr
fired the hearts of both the south and the
north , I have never witnessed a period where
the outlook for the great democratic party
seemed E-J daik. The only thing that will
save us ( and I do not referto _ my own case )
is that the country has already expressed Its
disapprobation of the republicans , and I am
Impelled to think that the great mass of the
people Is not ready to shift Us affections eo
incontinently. "
There seems to be no doubt In the minds
of the leading democrats of tlio house that
the verdict of the people next fall will bo
adverse to the party now In power , because-
It has proved Itself to be so wholly Incom
petent. The only expressions ot hopefulness
which conic from democratic lips Indicate
the belief that "something will turn up"
inside of the next two years to enable them
to elect a democratic president In 1896. They
did not go so far as to gl\e any clew as to
what that Indefinable "something" may be ,
because they do not know.
CHISP HAS LOST HOPE.
It Is conceded even by Speaker Crisp , In
conversation with his personal and political
friends , that the next house of reprcienta-
thes will bo republican and great fear Is
expressed by leading senators that the upper
house of congress will also be republican In
the Fifty-fourth congress.
The Fifty-fourth congress being republican ,
Tom Heed will , of course , bo the speaker , and
Burrows of Michigan will be chairman of
the committee on ways and means. The
tariff will be revised on protection lines and
we will have a measure known to the country
as the Burrows bill , which will be advocated
and championed by the ablest orator now
living on the republican side of the house
of representatives.

COLUMBIA. SUSTAINED IIKK CLAIM.

J'ti'lllnii Itrjriircllnp : Tariffs.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 25. A secret has
leaked out from diplomatic circles to the
effect that our go\ eminent has become sadly
entangled Tilth one of the Central American
republics as a result of the reciprocity
treaties and will have a bill to pay , beside
which the Bering sea claims will appear
trivial In amount. The country In question
Is the United States of Colombia , one of the
Central American republics which steadily
refused all efforts of the State department
to Induce it to become a party to one ot the
treaties. Moreover , when her sister repub
lics and Spain ( as Cuba and Porto Rico ) be
gan to ship their products tree to the United
Stales under the terms ot the new treaty
Colombia claimed the same exemption for
her staples , hides , coffee and molasses. The
State department rejected Its claim , as It
was obliged lo do , else the whole fabric of
treaties would have fallen , tlie United States
being able to offer no inducements other
wise. Colombia persisted In her claim and
pointed to the treaty of 18-16 , which de
clares that the Colombians shall not be as
sessed any duy ( upon their products Im
ported Into the United States higher than
on like articles imported from any other
foreign country. That meant , they con
tended , if the staples above mentioned en
tered the United States free from Brazil and
Cuba they shall enter free from Colombia
also , regardless of reciprocity treaties. They
have never abated this contention. Many
letters have been exchanged on the subject
and at last the United States lias been
obliged to admit the strength and correct
ness of the Colombian position , This being
done It follows that the government must
refund to Importers the amounts they have
paid In. duties on Colombian products which
should have beer free or admitted at lower
rates. Just what the total will amount tone
no one can tell at present , but steps are he-
Ing taken to ascertain the amount from
statistics. The United Stales very recently
Induced Spain to " * er a refund of $5.000,000
collected erroneousl upon exports to Cuba.

The political iltuatlon In Nebraska has
taken uu an entirely new phase sine : Judge
Holcomb of Broken Bow has been entered In
the gubernatorial race by the people's In
dependent party. The railroad republicans
who forced the nomination of Tom Majors
already realize that the candldncy of Judge
Holcomb has endangered the success ot their
candidate , and they have already commenced
to plan a campaign which gives promise of
being as disgraceful as the ante-convention
cainptlgn which ended with the deplorable
result In this city last Wednesday.
The democrats , too , are affected by the re
sult nt Grand Island. At least two Impor
tant conferences have been held In this city
the past t\\enty-four hours among lending
democrats. The question uppermost In their
minds 1 whether the party can consistently
endorse the nomliutlon ot Judge Holcomb ,
There is a strong sentiment among the
Jocksonlan wing of local democracy , who
urge tlic nomination of a straight democratic
ticket. Those who look with favor upon
Judge Holcomb contend that a straight
tlcKtt , If put up , vouM mean the election ot
Majors , and the railroad democrats ure
charged with having that object In view.
Tli.s Imp rtanf- matter will , It Is said , bo
the subject of a conference of democrats
from all p.trts of the stale , and the railroad
-Interest Is already at work In an effort to
pack the conference with .Majors democrats.
Tcburllngton Castor cnme to town yester
day , staid two hours and then went away
again. With reference to political nutters
he said that he knew absolutely nothing , as
he had been In the Colorado mountains tor
several days. He had heard that the repub
lican machine had nominated Tom Majors
for governor and that the populists had nomi
nated Judge Hole.mb for the same position.
_ Whcn asked If the democrats would support
'Majors , Tobias smiled and opined that there
was no reason why men Si the democratic
party should support a republican , nor did
he think that there was any good reason
why the democrats should flock to the sup
port of a populist. Mr. Castsr gave It as his
opinion that when the democratic state con
vention convened a straight party ticket
would be put In the fleM. and that it would
bo elected from top to bottom.
PLANS OF THE STRAIGHT OUTS.
The nominations of Majors and Holcomb
have lent an added Interest to the already
Interesting situation in the democratic
camp. Tor several weeks the free silver
democrats ha\e been planning to capture the
democratic state convention. The adminis
tration wing of the democracy affects to be
lieve that the free sliver men prcposo to en
dorse the populist candidate for governor.
Acting upon this belief a counter movement
has set In. Administration democrats are
bending every energy to control the con
vention. If they do it Is a foregone conclu
sion Hint they will nominate a straight-out
candidate for governor.
Consequently , a great deal remains yet to
bo developed. Any forecast of the results of
the contest now being waged between the
silver and the administration democrats ;
vvould be valueless , as It would be nothing
more than a mere guess. Only a taw of the
county conventions have been held and very
Tew delcgntes selected so far. But , whatever
the results may be , it Is certain that there
Is ai strong1 contingent of railroad democrats
In the state who will secretly work for the
election ot Tom Majors. These Majors demo
crats have their agents even within the !
populist ranks , and several of them wcrq
at Grand Island Friday watchlng the develop
ments of the contest there. The democratic
rote controlled by the B. & M. political de
partment Is for Majors first and the success
of tlio democratic ticket last.
This fact was proven In the election two
years ago when Majors was the accidental
candidate for lieutenant governor. Demo
crats In the employ ot the B. & M. Issued
circular letters to democrats urging them
to- vote for J. Sterling Morton for governor
and for Tom Majors for lieutenant governor
Section men , gravel shovelers , graders and
day laborers on the B. & M. from Omaha
to Benkleman were ordered to vote against
Crounse , but for Majors. The B. & M. made
usa of every democrat In Its employ to swell
the Majors vote and lo defeat the election
of Crounse. This move , to a large extent , ex
plains the fact that Majors ran so far ahead
of Crounse.
Fortunately for the triumph f t good state
government In Nebraska , the conditions this
year are radically different In the demo
cratic camp. The free silver democrats ure
apparently In the majority In Nebraska
outside of Douglas county , and they control
hundreds of votes In this city. If the ad
ministration democrats succeed In packing
the state convention the free silver men
will refuse to swallow the delectable dose
prepared for them and will vote for Hoi
comb. If the free silver men can control
the convention they will either endorse Hol
comb or nominate a radical free silver demo
crat , and this action will drive the white
wings out of the party. H Is for this
reason that the democratic leaders who
are personally Interested In this fall's cam
paign are proceeding very slowly.
It Is needless to say that the D. & M.
democrats will not be bound by the conven
tion , no matter whether the candidate Is
a free silver man or a pronounced gold bug.
They will obey the railroad dictate and
vote for Majors.
THEY HEARD FflOM HAMEH.
There were many notable Incidents at the
Grand Island convention Friday night worthy
of a more extended report than was accorded
them. One of the most notable ones was
the action of the convention In Insisting
that Judge F. O. Homer of Kearney should
speak from the platform. In spite of th
fact that he was well known to the ; conven
tlon as a strong republican. Judge Hainei
occupied a scat on the stage with Judgi
Harrison ot the supreme court nnd sercra
other prominent republicans , who were al
there from motives of curiosity. The judge's
presence was detected near the close of the
convention by a friend In the gallery , and h
was at once called for. He Is known to th
populists as the judge who ruled from th
bench that in all cases Involving the- sale o ;
property under foreclosure ot mortgagn th
sale should not bo confirmed unless the prop
erty sold for at least two-thirds of its ap
praised value. Thla fact alone was sufllclen'
to entitle * him lo recognition In a popultsi
convention , even though the delegates knev
him as a republican.
In order that everybody In the state may
know that Judge Hamer has not given up
his republicanism , cr even wavered In 111
fulth , his address is given below :
"Mr. Chairman : I thank you and thli
audience for this unexpected compliment
This Invitation dtubtless began ts a joke.
Yet I shall receive U serbusly. Never before
have I seen a member of one political party
invited to speak at a political convention of
another opposing part1 never even heard
of such a thing. I im not a populist. I am
a republican ; and > el you Insist that I shall I
speak at your conventlcn. I like the air of j
freedom which pervades this convention ,
Other conventions may profitably follow
your example. Your business here has not
been conducted In the usual way , You have
heard everybody who wanted to talk , I have
heard three ladles make speches hero In

It In next time. ( Cheers. ) I know you and
you know me. Why , just the other day , you
were nearly all republicans ( a vole ? , "that's

of you Bay It has not always gone fust
enough , and so you have run on ahead. Now ,
maybe that Is so ; but we are all growing
mentally , morally and politically , populist ,
democrat and republican alike. Wo are get
ting better , nil of us. I guess the best of
us will go togitlier again , We are going to
make a great , broad republican platform
that all good populists and all good republi
cans can stand on. You will help to make

like this to > ou. you will begin to believe
you arc republicans , and If jou continue to
agree with me as you seem to now , I shall
soon be In doubt whether I am not a popu-
Ist. " ( Cheers and laughter. ) .
Mrs , Shroat , one of the lady epeakers ,
.icre stepped to the front and said that the
gentleman might be In favor of woman suf-
ragc , but republicans g-nerally did not
oem to favor It. She had just attended
i republican convention at Broken Bow
uiid they refused to let her tpcuk. The
nmllenc ? cheered and laughed , and there
.vas a great uproar. When the chairman
iiad quieted the audience by repeated raps ,
Mr. Hamer again stepped forward and Bald :
"I want lo say to this audience that. If I
Jiad been there , and had anything to do
with that contention , the lady should have
poken to her heart's content. " ( More i

BROKEN BOW , Neb. , Aug , 23.-Speclal (
Telegram to The Bos ) Tae nomination ol

hosts of friends In tlili city and c unly. At
the news became generally known this morn
ing flags from the liberty pole and n num
ber of business houses floated to the l/rseze
Upon all hands , regardless of political views ,
the expression la that tin- populists In n.in
itiating Judge Holcomb for their standard
hearer selected the strongest mau In Hie
party.
He has been a resident In this town from
Its Infancy , and In that time has been one ot
the leading citizens of the county. Ills con
servative and consistent course In all mat
ters of publ'c interest has commanded the
respect nnd admiration of all with whom he
has formed nn acquaintance.
On receiving the official news this morn
ing his friends proceeded at once to arrange
for him a grand reception at the North Side
opera house en his arrival from Grand Island.
As It was learned that Senatcr Allen anil
Congressman McKelghan were to accompany
him home , they , In addition to local spe.ik-
err , vverei put on the program. At the train
he was met by a large crowd of men and
women and n cornet band , Among the llrst

YANKTON , S. D. , Aug. 25. ( Special to
The Bee. ) Thcie was tinkering done by tha
committee on resolutions of the republican
state convention and the man who did the
job will almost certainly be called to ac
count. He has touched South Dakota re
publicans In a tender ( pot and his explana
tion will haveo ( be eminently complete If
he expects It to be satisfactory. The trouble
arises over the silver clause as it appears
In the printed resolutions. That clau&o Is not
as the committee on resolutions decided it
should be when on Wednesday night th"
committee met to frame the document which
states the position of the republicans of
this slate on various questions and Issues.
It was with considerable astonishment that
members ot the resolutions committee Keard
( he silver clause In the platform read like
this when the report of the committee was
presented :
We favor the use of both Bllver nml gold
as money , at n latlo of 1G to 1 , confining
tlic coinage of silver to the Ameilcan pro
duct , nt the co-it of tlio actual expense of
coinage ; nnd we demand thnt silver ns well
ax gold Bhall bo n legal tender for nil debts ,
l > otli public nnd private , and we pledge tlio
congressional nomlnecH of this convention
to support the principles herein contained ; .
The committee on Wednesday night sup-
nosed the clause would read thus :
Thnt ne favor the use of both silver and
ROUT as moneyi nnd Hint they be coined nt
the ratio of lf to I , confining Piich coinage
of Hllver to mines within the United States.
and that the Kovonuneiit xh.ill PO coin all
silver BO mined ana piesented for coinage
al the net cost of the actual expense of
coinage , and we demand that Fllvcr as. well
as gold shall be n , leual tender for the pay
ment ot nil debts , both public nnd private ,
and we pledge our congressional nominees
to support the principles contained In this
resolution ,
When the convention adjourned consider
able forcible criticism of the man or men
on the resolutions committee who doctored
the resolution was Indulged.
Lieutenant Governor Herrcld , who is very
much interested In the silver question , anil
who saw the original clause and saw ta It
that the committee endorsed It , expressed
himself most pointedly , and a plan Is
maturing for an Investigation.

I met Lake that day and asked him to come

T. K. Sudborough , 'chairman of the republi
can city committee , Is experiencing the woea
of the pollt.clan who tries to do the right
thing , but Is constantly being misunder
stood. U was through the proposition made
by the city committee to the state republi
can committee that secured the late repub
lican convention In Omaha. With Mr , H.
Hosewaler , Mr. Suclborough personally so
licited the funds necessary to defray the ex
penses of hall , the hiring of committee
rooms , etc. , Including the printing ol general
admission tickets. Reserved seat tickets
were provided by the- Exposition hall manage
ment and these In a sealed package were
delivered to Chairman Brad Slaughter , who
saw to their distribution. These tickets
both the Majors and XtacColl factions nllegad
were printed In Chicago , which , while being
true , does not In the least concern Mr. Sud
borough , as they wcro given to the state
central committee by the management ol the
hall , having been taken out of their stock ,
which numbers hundreds of packB , being
bought In large ( juuntltleu from houses mak
ing . specialty of printing theater tickets.
Mr. Sudborough la In nowise responsible for
the discrimination In regard to reserved seat
tickets , having bad only sixteen for distri
bution among hla friends , eight of which ho
did riot use. It la alleged that Majors received
nearly 800 general admUnion tickets out ot
3,000 printed by Mr. Sudborough , which "Tat
tooed Tom" used In packingtha convention
for his own purpose , Any stiurtncss In tickets
It therefore easily accounted for , the Majors
contingent having "hogged" the whole ticket
business , and the me ? who did the prelim *
Inary work ot raining the money for the con
vention and upon whom will devolve ti
