At 12:15"the.sonatoweht : into ex
ecutive session. - _ . -
In his communication to the senate
the y resident in relation to the Panama
canal the secretary of state refers to
the rejection of the proutocoF nego
tiated between the two countries and
a 'desire on the 'part of the United
States of .Columbia for a repeal of the
treaty of 1846 in order that they
might appeal to the powers of Europe
for a joint guarantee of the neutrality
of the isthmus and the sovereignty of
Columbia. These facto 'having ' ' .come
to the knowledge of 'the ' depait-
ment on the 4th of' 'June
last addressed a letter of
instructions to the United' ' States min
ister at London and sent a note to
eaoh American minister in Europe.
The letter refers to the possibility of
the great powers of Europe , having
under consideration tha neutrality of
the inter-oceanic canal and while re
cognizing the propriety' ' of the paper
which guarantees as a necessity the
construction and successful operation
of any highway across the isthmus ,
asserts that . moro than a third
) f a century ago this -government
ok _ every step that it deemed requi
site in the premises , as shown by arti
cle 35'of the treaty of 1840. and says
; hat'in the judgment of the president
; his guarantee does not require rcin-
'
'orcemont or assent from any other
? ower. Ho says : "If the foreshadowed
action of the European powe'rs should
assume a tangible phase it would bo
voll-for you to bring to the notice of
Lord Mandevillo the provisions of the
treaty of 1846 , nnd especially of its35th
article , and to intimate to him that
any movement in the sense of supplo-
nenting the guarantee contained
therein would be regarded by this gov-
irnmcnt as an uncalled for' ' intrusion [
nto the field where the local and general - L
oral interests of the United States of
America must bo considered before
hose of any other power , sayo those
of the United States of Columbia
alone , which has already do-
ived , and will continue to
[ erivo , such eminent advantages
rom the guarantee of this government.
lo then proceeds at length to set
orth the reasons which lead the gov-
rnment to maintain this position
irhich , ho asserts , is by no means to e
) o considered as a new one. f : <

rilE TREASUUV INVKSTIOATION UEI'OUT. acm
In presenting the senate report of bidi >
iio treasury investigation committee , dicc
ailed for by the resolution of Octo- cc
) or21st , Secretary Windom reviews ccP
tie discovery by him that certain tlBl
buses and irregularities existed in Bl
lie depaitmont superintended by atb Blat
lie .custodian , and his abolition b (
f thii oflico on the ground of its illo- filvc
ality , and further sayu that his in tun- vc
ion to thoroughly investigate other cc
iranches of the treasury wus inter- ccai
ered with by the extra dutjes attend ar
ant upon the assassination of the
president.
Accompanying the report are the
documents appointing Messrs. J F.
Molinp , J. Walker and W. Hill as the
investigating committee , n copy of the
lr.w on which the ofOco of custodian
was declared illegal and the subse
quent circular by Secretary Windom
wnich , ho thinks , will prevent a rp-
currcnco of n similar irregularity in
the future , also th personal statement
o ! Asaistant-SccreUvry. Upton nnd
Chief Clerk Power. The report is
datod.Juno 14 ; 1681 , and is na fol
lows :
Attention is just called lo the law
providing for n proper advertisement
for bids to furnish nil ( ho depart *
monis' suppliesand the statement is
made , but in this case the rule has
only been observed in the purchase
of fuel , ice and carpets , and that the
ordinary business precautions of se
curing reasonable prices seem ( o liavo
been neglected , while in many cases
exorbitant prices havp been paidt. In
beginning the investigation the com
mittee undertook to make an inven
tory of the treasury atoro room and
found that no sot of books had been
kept to show the amount of stock cm
hand ; also that no inventory of the
stock had even been made. The com
mittee found that all tlio carpets
bought out of the appropriations for
the years 1870 and 1877 were satisfnc-
torilyrabcountcd for. During 1878 ,
1,314J yards of Bruucli carpet and
3,237 } yards of Wilton carpet , were
laid in the offices of the treasury. The
amount was paid for out of tho.-appro- ,
priation for contingent expenses and'
this excess waa unaccounted for by re
quisitions upon the custodian. Being
.informed of this defect ho furnished
properly signed requisitions for allox-
cept eighty-two yards whichhe _ claims
was laid in .his office. The Wilton
carpet and border , he claimsuwero
laid in the room * of the asiistant sec
retary and chief clerk and no requisi
tions given. I lit the fiscal year 1880
thojnveatipatibn showed that , , 118Jr :
yarns of Wilton ; carpet and border , . ,
and'the ' costof ; making and-laying the'
same was twice paid for. Tho' carpet
was'bought of Messrs , Hoae Bros. ,
&rJo. , of Washington , and . they
have now repaid the amount
of the duplicate payment. Taking all
accounts into consideration the
committee say there should havp been
1,816 7-9 yarda of-carpets found in
the storeroom , whereas there was a
shortage of , 159 79 yards which the
storekeeper claims was in ! the hands
ofW. B. 'Moses , of this city. , Mr.
Moses had boon paid for 637 yards
which already belonged to the treas
ury and on < being notified ofi the fact
ho sent that amount1 of carpet to' the
department to make it good. A clerk
in the office of a disbursing clerk has
been paid out of , the appropriation for
fuel , light and water. The report
says that Bradley Adams , of this city ,
was paid $502 for fifty-two dozen
Woodruff file holders out of an appro
priation for ice , but said the file
holder * have never been , delivered.
Of this matter the custodian refuses to
make any explanation to the commit
tee. The same kind of. a transaction
was discovered with W. B. Reed's
Sons in regard to two bills of 9132
charged as candles but the candles
were not delivered. The custodian
informed the committee that these
bills were for lemons and sugar for
lemonade for the secretary , assistant-
secretary and chief clerk and n cer
tain lunch furninhed in the treasury
building last summer about the time
of the Chicago convention. Assistant-
Secretary Upton nnd Chief Clerk
Powers stated under oath to the com
mittee that the certain lunch had boon
paid for by private contribution and
Upton suid he had once given Pitney
$20 for lemonade furnished his room.
Other discoveries made include ; , No
vember , 1880 , § 1,485 paid for over
coats for drivers of the treasury wag
ons was entered as having been
paid for ns billiard cloth for desk cov
ering. February. 1881 , ono barrel of
bay rum at 830.05. This barrel con
tained Gl | gallons , and was found in
the stock. Pitney explained that this
evasive course was pursued in order
that the accounting oflico would not
juestion the bills , and that from July
, 1878 , to May 4th , 1881 , waste pa
per was sold to the amount of 85-
D92.GG , and no deposit was made for
the same. Mr. Pitney says ho paid
the costs of sorting out the sales , and
put the balace in the safe to await in-
itructions. After this discovery the
balance of § 2,170.77 was deposited in
the treasury by the custodian.
Fho committee were unable to find
my books of the sale of
second hand carpets and also discov-
jrod that Pitney bad received § 270
or government horses sold , $100 of
pinch ho claims to have paid for now
lorses and the balance , except $15
itill due. is in his .
ItUl UUC , 19 ill Ilia J1UUUB. The coin *
nitteo also state 'that numerous porous
ous had been paid by the department
y special vouchers not provided for
y an appropriation. Also that the
ibovo examinations by Pitney were
lot mode under oath and that ho re
used to bo aworn. Ono of the last
liscovories made was that in January
nd February , 1880 , J. B. McMillen
ras paid $7,200 for the right to use
he Hazelton device to prevent de *
oniposition on twenty-four boilers ,
lut none of the devices have yet been
pplied. The committee plead lack of
imo as an excuse for not continuing
ho investigation on other particulars.
Assistant Secretary Upton , who
rax chief clorrk during the time cov-
rod by the report , in his accompany-
ng statement recites the circum- :
tancos that necessitated the appoint
ment of n custodian and states that
ccording to the department rule ho
a
lover signed a voucher unless > i t had
eon certified by the custodion. Ho
lenios , in the absence of proof to the
oiitrary , that exorbitant prices wore
aid for goods and calls attention to
ho fact that congress had never made
uch a complaint although it had a
Utoment of these disbursements paid
oforo them yearly. In regard to the
lo holders , Mr. Upton says that the
ouchors were signed by him and were
ortifled by the custodian as necessary
nd by the store keeper as received , a
nd ho had no further knowledge.
Also that the double payment to Hoa
Bros , was inadvertently made , nnd h
understood that the reason the dccom
position had not boon applied was fo
lackof nppropriation. ,
Thostatomontof Chief Clerk Powers
is of the same tenor with that of Up
ton. Ho declared that ho nignod n
vouchers excepting these of thing
which wcro certified as received b
the storekeeper and as necessary b
the custodian. Powers aaya ho ordered
dorod the bay nun returned as soon ns
ho ducovcrcd the purchase nnd tha
ho helped pay out of his private fund
for the certain lunch referred to b.
the report.
THE NEW SKCUKTAUY OF TIIBTJIBASIIHY
WASHINGTON , October 24.-Sucre
tary Windom , now that Morgan i
confirmed , does not foci that ho c.u
act any longer ns sccrotnry of th
treasury , and hn& naked the nrcsidim
to designate Judpo French as actin
secretary until Morgan can qualify
Morgans accession is viOwcd nit
very general patisfnction hero. Secretary
rotary Windom modestly fays that th
country will have no reason to rogro
the change. The following is the tru
history of Qov. Morgan's selection as
the head of the treasury .do
pattmont : Upon Conkling's posi
tiva refucal to accept the Becrotarj
shin , the president tendered th
position iu Morgan , Ho promptly
followed Conkling in declining. 11
urged as a reason that his private in
tere U were such as to make his a
pointmont contrary to law na it was n
the cftsoof , A. T , Stewart. "All thi
happened before the president went ti
Iforktown , his intent ion being to think
the subject over and reach some do
cuion before ho got back. Before re
turning he had made up hiaamind t
promote Treasurer Gtlfillanlto th
poifc * ' of honor inrecoguitioi
of his' merits and "integrity as
a publkr officer and financier will
the understanding that lie should re
sign on the 1st of the following Jan
uaryj leaving the president a ( leisure
in tno meantime to work Mr. Conk
ling up1 to accept .tho- place ; ' Mr. Oil
Qllanj in case this arrangement was
carried out , would then retire grace
fully with the prestige"ofjticcrotary
of the treasury and enter the bankini
business in Now York , which ho ha
long wished.to do , and where sovera
offers await him. The president
however , on his return'1 fron
the centennial , received , much to
his surprise , a communication
from Governor Morgan' containing a
request to , allow him to reconsider his
declination of a cabinet place. This
at once changed all the figures on th
chess board and made "pi1' ' ot th
above outlined lino. Tlio pressure
brought to bear on Morgan 'in Now
York financial circles was BO heavy
that he felt compelled to abandon
private businees and qualify himself
under law for tlio position which hi
at first declined. Under the circum
stances the president cojild not ob
ject. For the past three days th )
president has been in constant com
munica'ion with Governor JMinrgan
over the wires with the result' already
announced.
WANTS MACVEAOH TO REMAIN.
President Arthur still hopes to in
duce Attorney General MacVoagh t <
remain in the cabinet until the stn
route prosecutions are concluded an <
will withhold Howo's name unti
MaoVeagh gives a definite answer.
MORGAN MUM.
It is stated late to-night that Gov
Morgan has not yet accepted the sec
rotaryahip of the treasury , and also
that Attorney-General MaoVeagh has
nols yet given President Arthur f
definite answer in regard to his re
maining in the cabinet. This unsettlct
state of affairs leaves it very doubtfu
what nominations may be sent to the
senate to-morrow. Morgan's family
is said to bo urging him to decline for
personal and physical reasons , nnd the
president is said to have gone BO far as
to say ho could bo relieved in Decem
ber if ho would only accept now.

TOYING TO ESTABLISH OLD HATES.
CHICAGO , October 24. At last a
break occurs in the cut rates to the
cast , the Pennsylvania road taking
the initiative. This morning the
Chicago , Pittsburg & Fort " \Vayno
road announced its now rates as fol
lows : To Now York , , $17.50 , with a
rebate of $ B ; to Boston. 818.50 , with
a rebate of 5 ; to Philadelphia , Balti
more and Washington , $17.50 , with a
rabato of 95. This is an advance of
$7. CO to Now York , Baltimore , "Wash- '
ington and Philadelphia , and
of $8.50 to Boston. The reason
assigned by the Pennsylvania folks
for taking this restorative
atop is that they are tired
of carrying passengers for noth
ing. . Whon'tho eastern .travel was
booming Die rates paldr 'profit , but
there is no money m it now. Every
body who has wanted to"go east has
pone and got bock and now , with only
the average travel to depend upon ,
$5 a pasoongor to Now York or less
than naif cent per mlle , don't pay
the expense of running the trains.
That the Pennsylvania company will
maintain thcso advanced rates
without the other lines following
suit is not to bo expected. Up
to the present time there is no
indication that either of the other
trunk lines will respond to the "feul-
or , " although doubtless all realize the
good policy of doing BO. The Balti
more & Ohio are more directly inter
ested than the Vanderbilt lines but no
advices of any change luwo been re
ceived at the Chicago oflico of this
company. They will probably bo the
first to follow the Pennsylvania lead
is the grand trunk will naturally wait
to aeo what course the Vanderbilt
roads pursue. The action of the Lake
Shore and Michigan Central is waited
for witn much expectancy. It will
now bo soon with doilnitonoss just
whom the Vanderbilt interests are
jghting. The Pennsylvania road
: laims to have sent out well Filled
trains to-day.
