WASHINGTON nunnAU OF THE BBE.
WASHINGTON , April 11.
When Colonel Tliaddcus II. Stanton wai n
short time ape appointed Ijy President Cleve
land lo bo paymaster general of the army
nnmerous stories were written for the news
paper * to explain why Colonel Terrell , who
vaa next In rank alter General Smith , was
not chosen by the president for the position.
A local paper , on the morning following the
appointment of General Stanton , published a
statement to the effect that Colonel Terrell
would have received the appointment had It
not been for an unfortunate Incident In his
career , when Colonel Terrell , a number of
years ago while on a trip to New Orleans to
collect a certain sum of money , those his
daughter to accompany him and charged her
expenses to the government , when life official
clerk should have been the person to asMst
? ilm In the discharge of hli duties The
statement was also to the effect that this In
cident was the only reason which prevented
Colonel Terrell's appointment to be the head
of the pay department when President Harrl-
eon chose General Smith for that position In
March , 1800. Without any disparagement to
Colonel Terrell , It can be now stateil , as was
outlined In Tie lice at the time of the ap
pointment of General Stanton , that the presi
dent chose the paymaster of the Department
of the Platte to be the paymastctr general ot
the army simply because he understood from
the case as It was presented to him that
Colonel Stanton was the choice of the major
ity of the aimy olllcers for the position to
which he was appointed Not that the army
olllcers loved Colonel Terrell less , but that
they loved Colonel Stanton more. In Justice
to Colonel Terrell , It may bo sild that the
charge that 1 , had defrauded the government
by taking n meirbor of his family on an olfl
clal trip was not considered at all in making
the appointment , and had not Colonel Terrell
himself taken cognUnnco of the- newspaper
statement It probably would never have been
spoken of again Colonel Terrell's brother , a
resident of this city , wrote . letter to the
paper which published the statement with
reference to the appointment. In which ho
denied the charge that the defeated canlldate
was handicapped by the alleged unfortunate
incident In his life The tame paper pub iahe3
the following from Colonel Terrell himself , In
which he reviews the whole matter and states
Ills side of the case.
TRIlUKLb MAKES A STATEMENT.
"Yoar Usue of M.irch 27 contilns the follow
ing statement In relation to the recent ap
pointment of paymaster general for the arm >
While Colonel lerrell's claims were vigor
ously pressed , he was handicapped by nn In
cident In his carter , occurring some years ago
when ho and1 Ills daughter went from Texas
to the Mardl Gras celebration at New Orleans
Colonel Terrell took his daughter with him
for the reason , as ho afterward explained
that the gu > mcnt money could be concealed
more safely In her dress than If Intrusted to
n men , but as he charged her traveling and
other expenses to the government and certi
fied on honor that It was his clerk who had
accompanied him , the oxplanantlon was not
regarded an altogether satisfactory. It Is
etld that ho might have been selected by
1'resldent Harrison for the paymaster gen
eralship at the time Colonel Smith was pro
motel If It had not been for this Incident. '
"It Is not for me to question the president's
right to make any appointment he saw lit
I have always cxpres ed my confidence In his
fairness and good Judgment , and If any wrong
lias been done mo In this matter , I feel that
it has been unintentional , so far as he Is con
corned. Hut If the above charge had any In
fluence In his decision , a great and Irreparablt
wrong has bscn done me.
"Tho original complaint , on which the
charge was based , was made In March , 1881
fourteen years ago , by a paymaster's clerk ,
who was afterward dismissed for dishon
esty. When It reached the then secretarj
of war , on the papers presented to him , he
mailo the following decision'I have ex
amined the within charge against Major
Terr 11 , pay department , nnd the accom
panying papers , and am of the opinion that
while the alleged acts , unexplained , might
have the appearance of fraudulent Intent
and require the action of a military court
the high character of Major Terrell , the
sworn statements furnished by him and hh
personal explanation of the circumstance-
satisfy me that there was no Intentional
wrong done , and no loss to the government
Incurred. No further action will b ? tak n
on these charges. '
DID NOT ATTEND MAIIDI OKAS
"The facts are these : In November , 1880

The journey was made In the shortest pos

In 1SSS I have b.-en told that an attemp

ADVERTISING FOR INDIAN SUPPLIES.
The Indian office Is Just now carrying on a
very Important branch of Its work. It Is the
annual Issuance of advertisements for pro
posals for \irlous supplies for the Indian
reservations of the United States , nnd the
officials nnd cl rks In the bureau hero are ,
and have been fet some time past , busily mi-
gaged In preparation for the work. The
numerous lists have already been prepircd
at the office nnd are dally being transmitted
through the mall to prospective bidders. Of
course the contractors nnd merchants ot the
western states are the most Interested In
this work , since It Is expected that these
merchants will do the greater part of the
bidding and receive nenrly all of the awards.
According to the ndvertlsemgnt bids for these
supplies will be opened on Tuesday. April
JO. 1S95 , nt the corner of State nnd Twelfth
streets , Chicago , and on Tuesday. May 21 ,
1805. at 77 and 79 Wcoster street. New York
City , in the presence of the Boird of Indian
Commissioners , a committee to be designated
by the secretary of the interior , and any
bidders who may attend , and read pub
licly , beginning at 1 p. m. The list of arti
cles to bo supplied comprises nearly every
article for use ns food , ns well as articles
necessary to provide comfort in the dally life
of the Indians at the agencies , and the
printed lists for the benefit of the contractors
are very voluminous , containing all Informa
tion necessary to show the bidder every de
tail ot the requirements laid down by the
officials In charge. These annual advertise
ments nro considered ot much importance by
the officials of the Indian office , and , as a re

formed.
CHICAGO WII.I. UK GIVEN A KKST.
War Ship to Ho Urtlrmt for 'Ino Vonra-
Other Oomlp "f " 'o > - vy.
WASHINGTON , April 11. When the
United States steamship Chicago goes out of
the New York navy jard next week she will
have been piactlcally retired from the naval
service for at least two and perhaps three
years. It Is the Intention ol the secretary
of the navy to modernize the ship In every
respect , and while the necessary changes
would occupy many months under ordinary
conditions , this particular work will be long
drawn out because of lack of ample funds
to carry out the project. At the last session
of congress an appropriation of $200,000 was
secured to continue the work on the new en
gines of the vessel , which will be built at th
New York nnvy yard. Some of this work
has already been executed , but the appro
priation Is entirely Insufficient to complete
the new machinery , which will cost about
$500 000 It is the design to put In new
boilers , including some of the new tubulous
type , and new engines , nnd If all necessary
funds were available this work would con
sume at least eighteen months In addition
to this , oxtcnslvD changes are to be made
in the battery of the ship , and the six-Inch
guns are to bo replaced by five-Inch rapid-
fire guns The ordnance bureau has no money
.it present to do this , being under the ne
cessity of practically closing up the gun
shops nt the Washington navy yard owing
to the failure of congress to provide the
necessary appropriations Then the con
structors have a great deal of work to do on
tha Chicago , including a complete change of
the rig of the ship , and they also have no
money for this purpose So all three bureaus
must look to congress at the next session
*
tosupply the means to prosecute their work
and as the funds will not be available before
July , 1S9C , and the work once begun will
require a year or two for completion , the
prospects are that the Chicago will have a
long re't after the hard service she has
had during the past ten jears.
The naval engineers are about to begin an
Interesting set of experiments on boilers ,
which will probibly determine the typj of
boilers to bo placed on the Chlcigo The
large lake steamer. Northwest , built at
Cleveland , has been placed at the disposal
ot the Navy d'pTrtment by the owners for
an exhaustive test. She Is a new departure
In lake navigation , being equipped with the
Ilellovllle boilers , which are extensively used
, In the Trench navy. A board of engineer
officers will bo detailed to make a complete
round trip , the length of the lakes , on this
vessel , and take careful note of the perform-
inco ot the boilers nt every moment , record
ing the coal consumption , the feed action
* and other essential points. The department
has also been extended an opportunity for
testing a special boiler mndo by the Habcock
& Wilcox company for naval uses. This type
of boiler has given excellent results a'hore
and It Is ths purpose to ascertain lt < fitness
for naval use. An experimental boiler has
been set up nt Elizabeth. N. J. . and an en
gineer board will begin an examination of Its
workings In a few days.

WASHINGTON , April 11. The proposition
made by our State depirtment to extend the
closed zone In the. North Pad He along the
Thirty-fifth degree of longitude , as defined
by the Paris arbitration , westward to the
shore ot Asia , It now appears really orlgimted
with Russia , which country was the first
to perceive the Inefficiency of the present
regulations to protect the seal herds. Russia
has always asserted as a right what the
United States secured under the arbitration ,
namely , the privilege of protecting seal In
Bering sea opposite her own coasts. But the
waters below are left unprotected by the
Paris arbitration , and the figures gathered
by Collector Mllno at Victoria last fall show
that the number ot seals killed on the Asi
atic nnd unprotected sida far exceeded the
number killed In the defined zone east of the
Thirty-fifth degree In the- open season When
Secretary Gre-iliam , last August , addressed
a note to the Russian minister Inviting his
government to adhere to the agreement for
the protection of the seals in force between
the United States and Great Britain , hi
promptly replied as tallows"I think that
I can , however , nt once Inform you thai
Russia , having to the same degree as the
United States an Interest and Imperative
duty to equally assure In her waters the
preservation of the fur seal , ths Imperial
government could not give Its adhesion to tht
Paris regulations nnd to the legislative
measures adopted In consequence at Wash'
Ington and London unless the legality o
these measures be applied likewise to al
the waters of the Pacific situation not nortl

ECRETARY MORTON WANTS INFORM \TION
thief Salmon Instructed to Find Out the
Number uf Cattle at Omuhii and
Other Markets from Janu
ary to Mnrch.
WASHINGTON. April 11. Secretary ot
Agriculture Morton today began an Inquiry
nto the recent Increase In the price of meats
'or ' the purpose of ascertaining If any com
bination In violation ot law exists for the
purpose of putting up prices. The secretary's
letter of Instructions for the Inquiry Is as
'ollovvs ' :
"Ur. D. n. Salmon , Chief of Uureau ot
Animal Industry Sir : Furnish at jour
arllest convenience a statement ot the num
ber of cattle received at the stock yards In
Omaha , In Kansas City , in Uast St Louts
and In Chicago during the months of
January , February and March , for the years
180 J and 1803.
"It Is Important Just at this time to ascer-
aln as nearly as may be from those sources
what falling off there Is In cattle supply
of the United States as compared Vrlth
previous years.
"In January , 1885 , cattle sold for $5 70 , In
February , the same jear , for $5.65 , and In
March of the same year for $5 77'/i per
hundredweight at the Kansas City stock
ynrds. And In 1892 they sold , In the same
ncrket , in January at | 3 , In February at
$180 and In March at $170 per 100 pounds ,
while in 1803 they sold In January at $5 CO ,
"n February at $5 55. In March nt $5 70 , and
n January , 1804 , they sold at $3 25 , In Feb
ruary at $4.80 and In March at $4 GO
'I wish to ascertain the prlcss paid at
Omaha , Kansas City and In Chicago during
January , February and March ot 1S05 , and
also the number of cattle received at these
points during that time.
"The largest cattle receipts at Chlcigo In
any one day occurred , I believe , April 25 ,
1S02 , when 32,677 head were received , and
the largest cattle receipts at Chicago In
a single week \\ora 85,523 head , received
during the seven days ended September 19 ,
1891 ; and the largest receipts of cattle for a
slrglo month at Chicago were In September ,
1812 , when 385,466 head were received
'Ue kind enough to Instruct the agents of
the bureau of animal Industry of the United
Slates Department of Agriculture , wherever
they may be stationed , to collect and send in
as rapidly as possible all reliable data at
their command which may tend to truthfully
show what diminution. If any , there Is In the
cattle supply of the United States for the
> ear 1893 as compared with previous years
'Also Instruct the agents of the bureau ot
animal Industry to make thorough Inquiry as
to whether In their judgment there Is any
combination , In violation of law , by which
a cattle "trust" Is putting up the price of
beef products , while it is putting down the
per capita price of cattle. Very respectfully
yours , "J. STEIILING MORTON.
"Secretary. "
INFLUENCE OF THE DIG FOUR.
Concerning the inquiry , Secretary Morton
said to a representative of the Associate !
press "The Increase In the price of cattle
has been quite remarkable and certain fluc
tuations seem unaccountable It would ap-
par that the primary cause nf the increase Is
tint the supply Is decreasing , while the de
mand Is constant or Increasing. The four
points , so-called , Chicago , St Louis. Kansas
City and Omaha , where cattle are slaughtered ,
are falling off in their supply to the market.
The reduction last year was 142,347 held of
cattle , as compared with the year before.
The reduction naturally would bring an In
crease of price to the consumer. Then , too ,
corn-fed cattle arc preferred , and our supply
of corn fell off enormously last year. This
In part explains the falling off In production
of high grade cattle , nnd It Is a marked fea
ture of the American consumer that he wants
the very best grade of cattle and the choicest
parts , sirloins or porterhouse , rather than
the more nutritive round or neck "
Mr. Morton's Inquiries as to the Influence of
the alleged trust are In part directed by cur
rent statements as to the Influence which the
"Big 4" have In depressing the price of live
cattle. He sajs that If there was a demand
for the live cattle the prices would go up
legardless of the combine. His Inquiry , ho
adds , is designed to bring out Just what In
fluence the "Ulg 4" have on prices.
CHICAGO , 111 , April 11 Colonel Favorite
of the Armour Packing company today , when
asked In regard to the statements of Secre
tary Morton that an Investigation would be
made Into the cause of high meat prices ,
said"There Is no combine Secretary Mor
ton Icnowa as well as we do why It is , and
as far as we are concerned , we hope that he
will Investigate the matter thoroughly He Is
now shipping grain to the destitute farmers
of Nebraska , anl their condition Is about the
same as all the cattle feeding districts of
the central west. The shipping has fallen off
one-half from there , and a glance at the
stock yards statistics would show that nearly
300,000 head less have been received since
January 1 than was received last year for
these three months "
Supplementary Income lax IimtrurtlniK.
WASHINGTON , April 11 The Treasury
department today Issued to all Income tax
collectors a series of supplement ! ! Instruc
tions to conform to the recent decision of the
supreme court.

Senator Morgan Sec * Uront Danger In the
Munition In VoiloMii'lu.
WASHINGTON. April 11. Senator Mor
gan , chairman of the senalo foreign relations
commltttec , was asked today how ho re
garded the situation In Venezuela , and re
plied by sajlng "I hive no doubt that Great
Britain's ultimate purpose Is to press her
frontier sufficiently far Into tha Interior to
encompass the rich gold fields of that sec
tion , though she will , of course , not dlscliw"
this purpose In ths Immediate future , but
will rather confine her demands to the terri
tory at the mouth of the Orinoco river.
"Do I think that the United States should
permit this aggression ? " ho asked , repeating
a question. "I do not. I think the direct
question should be put to Great Britain by
our diplomats as to whether she- proposes ,
cither by purchase or conquest , to extend
her domain beyond her present claims. In
case of a negative reply , I should advise
that the United States should not Interfere
with the settlement of existing disputes , but
I do not believe that England could be
brought to this definite promise not to prors
her boundaries further In that section , be
cause of the rich gold mines known to exist
there. I am convinced , as I believe most
men must bo who have given attention to the
question , that England's deslra Is to control
those gold deposits. Such a course would
bo In accord with her policy In other parts
of the globe , and It goes hand In hand with
her gold monometallls-t policy at home Con
trolling the principal gold fields of the world ,
England naturally desires to maintain the
gold standard , and she as naturally wishes
to extend her gold possessions. It Is to her
interest to do so , and I cannot say that I
blame her , but that Is no reason why the
United States should stand Idly by and allow
her to carry this policy Into effect Further
more , It Is evidently the policy of the present
British administration to acquire desirable
territory when It can do so , as witness the
effort to sever Ncckar Island In the Hawaiian
group , and her dispute with France over
African territory. It Is most probable that
Instead of making any definite reply to this
supposititious question England would evade
It In that event I think we should Invoke
the Monroe doctrine forthwith. "

WHIN' Instructions to Krncli Him.
WASHINGTON , April 11 The officials of
the State department were silent today when
questioned vltli regard to the latest Hawaiian
news brought by the Alameda , and refused
to make any response when questioned ns
to the cause of the delay In the receipt by
United States Minister Willis of his instruc
tions touching Minister Thurston. It cm
be stated positively that instructions were
sent to Mr Willis on March last In ample
time to have caught the China unless by
some accident they miscarried on the way
from Washington to San Francisco. Whether
they v ent as far as a peremptory demand
for Mr Thurston's recall or were confined tea
a direction to Mr Willis to Intimate that
Mr. Thurston had been Indiscreet in his
public utterances arrd had thus endangered
the cordial relations of the two countries
cannot bo learned. It Is also suggested that
the Instructions , though actually leaving
Washington , never reached Hawaii , but were
stepped by telegraphic orders at San Fran
cisco or some Intermediate point.
Mr. Hastings , charge d'affaires of the
Hawaiian legation , was shown the foregoing
dispatch and read It with much Interest. He
said It was a diplomatic question , which he
would not discuss If he had any Information ,
but ns a matter of fact the legation was In
possession of no Information on the subject.

Itcqulro tlio Miiiiiitura of the
Uovcruor of Illinois.
SPRINGFIELD. 111. . April 11. A movement -
ment was set on foot by Representative
Jones of Green In the legislature today , which ,
If carried out , will practically sever Cook
county ( Chicago ) from the state of Illinois.
It was In the form of a Joint resolution and
provides that the question of giving Cook
csunty a separate government from the
balance of the state shall bo submitted to a
vote of the people. The resolution recites
that the rapid and unprecedented gronth of
Chicago renders It necessary for special laws
to be enacted at every legislature. The In
terests of Chicago are In many Instances
directly opposed to those ot the state at
laige , and therefore Injustice must be done
to one section In order to benefit the others.
It Is therefore resolved that there bo sub
mitted to the people for their ratification or
rejection at the next general election for
meirbers of the general assembly , an amend
ment to take the place of section 7 of nrtlclo
10 of the constitution. This amendment pro
vides that on and after January , 1SOS , Cook
county shall be governed by a general as
sembly , composed ot seventeen senators nnd
fifty-one representatives. Provision Is made
for division ot Ccok county Into districts and
tin general election laws of the state shall
govern the election of such senators and
representatives. This general assembly of
Cook county shall p ss the laws necessary
to administer justice In the county , all
pieient judicial olllcers shall hold their 10-
spectlve offices until the expiration of the
terms for which they have been elected. In
addition thereto the said general assembly
shall provide for n supreme court of
flvo members , to be elected for n
term of nlno years. All criminals
and Insane persons confined In state Institu
tions outside of Cook county shall , upon the
adoption cf the amendment , be removed to
Institutions In Cook county. No tax may be
levied on Cook county for use outside of Its
boundaries and Cook county cannot draw
money from the state treasury , but It shall
receive Its proportionate share of the revenue
of the Illinois Central railroad. The mem
bers of the Cook county general assembly
shall sit with the general assembly of Illinois
during the election of a United States senator
to congress and during the Impeachment of
state olllcers , but can vote on no other mat
ters No bills passed by the Cook county
legislature s'mll become a law until signed
by the presiding officers of lacn nouse and
by the governor of the state unless they shall
have received a two-thirds vote of each house
All state buildings In Cook county shall be
transferred to Cook county to be used as the
Cook county assembly may direct.
In speaking of the resolution , Representa
tive Jones said"The necessity for such leg
islation Is fully stated In the preamble Chicago
cage will soon be the- greatest city In the
United States. It Is more metropolitan now
than any other city and Its Increasing ne-eds
are so vast and various and so different that
it should have a legislative holy with power
to meet every fluctuation of public senti
ment and necessity. No citizen ot Illinois
will for a moment consent to mal\e a separate
state out of Chicago , and every citizen de
sires to do all In his power to aid Its growth
My proposition has been hastily drawn , but I
believe It is on the- right line , and when
fully considered will meet with popular ap
proval "
The resolution was referred to the commit
tee on judiciary.

WASHINGTON. April 11 Documents re-
Htlng to the services of soldiers and civil
ians at the time of the revolutionary war
which heretofore hive been scattered through
the Pension , State and War departments ,
have been gathered together and placed In
the care of Colonel F. C. Alnsworth , chief
of the records and pension office of the War
department. These documents contain a mass
of information ot great value to the his
torian , biographer and genealogist. Thev
were practically inaccessible , ns they were
not Indexed , and were pllsd up Indiscrim
inately with little or no system.
The State department began to classify
the records In Its possession some time ago ,
but there were no funds available for the
work , and It proceeded slowly. Through the
efforts of members of the Loyal Legion , con
gress made an appropriation for the purpose
of binding and indexing these records , and
directed the War department to do the work
This has been going on for some time , and
tha last documenU , those In the pension
office , have just been turned over to Colonel
Alnsworth's bureau. In two months It Is
expected that the classification will bi so
far completed that any one desiring to look
up the record of any given man In the revo
lutionary war can obtain access to a file
containing every letter or document referr
ing to him that Is now In the country's
possession.

WASHINGTON , April -Postmaster
General Wilson is very much encouraged
with the llrst reports that h.we been re
ceived by him showing the business of the
depaitment. He thinks that the Increased
business of the I'ostofllce department is a
barometer rf better times throughout the
country. The statistics which he has re
ceived are for the fourth quarter of 1801
The receipts for the quarter were $1,165,20.
greater than for the corresponding peilod
of 1S93 , and the total expenditures were
I620..M3 more than for the same quarter In
1S93.
It is prepared with the utmost care and skill from the choicest leaf grown ;
possessing a flavor and substance that makes it dear to the heart of every
tobacco chewer. It is made by the oldest tobacco manufacturers in
America , and the largest in the world , and cannot be excelled. Try it.

fWI Where else would you expect a person to die ? You
wouldn't expect a sick person to get up and go out

Odie in the house , before there is any reason for them
to die at all. Haven't you seen friends of yours just

Consumption , probably. May be it was a hard cold
at first , and a gradual decline. A good doctor says
