WASHINGTON , May 24 1 a. m. Considerable of a ruffle was caused in the treasury department to-day by the publication of alleged disclosures of the investigation into the accounts of Custodian Pitney of the treasury.

Whispers are heard that articles had been purchased in large quantities that were not of use in the depart ment. Considerable had also been said about the elegant manner in which Custodian Pitney lived on $1,200 a year. To ascertain just how much of truth there was in these ru mors , investigation of the custodian's official affairs was placed in the hands of three competent accountants and it has been in progress two weeks. Just what disclosures have been made can only bo conjectured. It is known that some irregularities have been dis covered. PRESS OF BUSINESS. WASHINGTON , May 24 1 a. m.

Keeps Its P'lnco in ino Liutd , andKnocks Off More Hours lii tUe tfimo id the Easfc New and important changes In tile" time schedule. of the Baltimore and Ohio company into effect on the 22d , promise to be greeted with very de cided favor by the people throiighobi the entire west. ' "Very radical im provements have of late been per fected in the track and management of the road , and now that everything is in order for making remarkably : asfc tinle , the ild\v schedule Is nn nounccd , and from this time on things will fairly hum on the old line. The time from Chicago to New York is very materially lessened , as the train which formerly left there at 4:05 : will , under the new schedule , leave at 6:15. : All the leading eastern lines haVe through express trains for the east leaving at tllia hbur , and the B. & 0. with its splendid facilities and unequalled advantages in reach ing \\ashinqton \ , arrives in that city a full night in advance of the 5:15 brains on competing roads , or in other words , passengers leaving on the B. & 0. arrive at Washington next even ing , while by taking the 5:15 : trains of other lines , the National Capital is not reached until the second morning. Another very striking advantage pos sessed by the Baltimore and Ohio road is , that it is the only line from Chicago running solid trains through to Washington , Baltimore , Phil adelphia and New York. As the trains are made up here , so it goes through , there , being no change of cars of any class whatev er. To those who do not take sleeping cars for the entire journey but who make themselves comfortable in the regular coaches , the absence of all changes cannot but be exceedingly grateful. The regular coaches are of the very finest description being of the latest pattern and supplied . with every possible convenience. Thous ands of tons of new steel rails have been laid , and the motive power has been largely augmented by a number of new and very powerful engines. In short , the B. & O. is to-day without a superior in offering first class facilities to the traveling public , and at the same time remains the model fast line of the country. The new palace sleeping cars continue to call forth the undisguised admiration of the traveling public. They are co spacious and so elegantly appointed as to afford the greatest posssble comfort while traveling , and certainly no sleeping car line in the country has more affable and accommodating con ductors and porters. The parlor cars just placed upon the line arc beyond all question the finest being built in this country , or , for that matter , any other country. They are different in several respects from the stereotyped style ot _ parior cars , being more spacious and more luxurious. The dining car line from Chicago is , like everything else on the B. & O. , of the very best , the meals served being worthy of compar ison with those of the best hotels in the country. A uniform price of sev enty-five cents per meal is charged , and the guest has placed before him a menu embracing the finest and best that the market affords. The time from New York to Chicago has been lessened an hour , the through train being due at 7:30 instead of 8:30 : as before. There is no material change in the time of the morning train.
