B vl ollicois having Joined their husbands in

ment wherever possible , without detriment to
Iho public business , 300 persons employed as
store keepers , gangers , etc. , in the internal
revenue service have boon removed since

William A. Day , who succeeds Judge For-
tis as second Auditor of the treasury , is n well
known lawyer of Illinois. lie has been mayor
of Champaign nnd n member of the state leg
islature. A ! thi ugh a comparatively young
man , ho has been prominent in the political
affairs of the state for several years , Ho in ono
of llcprusontatiyo Morrisons most ardent
supporters , and it waa mainly through the
efforts of that gentleman that ho received the
appointment.
II. G. Webber , the newly appointed mar
shal for the southern district of Illinois , was
three times elected sheriff of St. Olair county
and at present holds the otBce of mayor of

The broken roof-atone of the Washington
monument waa placed In position to day with

ing wedges between them nnd thematonryand

afternoon three holes were drilled through the
broken piece and it was llrmly boltedjn Its

Secretary Bayard has formulated n plan by
which ho proposes to obtain _ for Amnrican
manufacturers through the medium of United
States consuls in Kuropo all the information
they desire regarding manufacturjoa abroad.
Ho has written to a largo number of
manufacturers of nil kinds of articles
throughout the country asking them to
submit to him any questions covering subjects
upon which they desire information regarding
the manufacture of their tespective classes of
good a In foreign countries , and these ques
tions will bo sent to United
States consuls abroad , with instructions
to obtain tbo information sought
Bayard hopes by this plan to procure for our
manufacturers such information ns will show
conclusively whether in the price of rnw ma
terial tbo cost of labor , improved machinery ,
etc. * American or European manu
facturers have the advantage in the
production of manufactured articles.
Secretary Bayard believes that the possession
of such information regarding the coot of. man
ufacture and thepr'.cu of raw materials abroad
will also be of great advantage
to the Unitrtl States government in
the colliction of duty on imported
articles of foreign manufacture Secretary
Manning ia In full co-operation with the
secretary of state in this new project ,
Richard T. Merrick , who has been critically
ill for several days , is so much worae this
evening that his physicians will remain with
him all night.
Comptroller Durham's letter to ex- Com
miaslonor Loriug , asking him to deposit in the
treasury a disallowed balanne , is dated June
1C , ana reads as follows : "Sir : Your account
for payments for the laboratory in the depart
ment of agriculture , from June 1 , 1881. to
April 3 , 1885 , has been adjusted in this office
and a balance found due the United States of
$20,229 , This bular.ce found duo Is a part of
a duallowanco mada on this ac
count nnd Is explained by the
schedule of difference herewith trans
mitted , Aa shown by the schedule re-
erred to , you have paid out from the appro
priation for the laboratory of 1885 , the sum of
$ 39,807 , which should be charged to the ap
propriation for the purchase , propagation and
distribution of valuable seed- , etc The above
sum seema to be due or unpaid for sorgum
seed , for pay-rolls in preparing the same seeder
or other seeds , and for distribution , and none
of it seems to have been paid for chemicals or
apparatus for the use of chemists , or
mlcropscoplsta or for any experiments made
' in the manufacture of sugar made from
sorghum aud other vegetable plants. It
seems very plain to my mind that all of the
above amount as stated In the vouchers pro-
lent ed should have been charged to the fund
appropriated for tha purchase propagation
and distribution of valuable seeds
and not to the labaratory fund.
I find nothing in tha precedents of
thiaoflice to warrant nn allowance of such
account aa now presented , and the nbove no-
count of § 20,807 is Uiereforedis&llowed. The
balance found duo you will please deposit in
the treasury at your earliest convenience Ii
order that your accounts may bo closed or

apectfully , M , J. DcmiAM , Comptroller.

atADSTOHK 3AYS OYERTUIIE3 WERE MAI ) E.
In the house of commons this afternoon
.auoucboro asked if it was true that the
\Iaiquts \ of Salisbury was prevented from
siting office by his failure to obtain assurances
if assistance from the retiring government ,
jabouchqro added that ho himself and many
ther radicals strongly objected to any ns ur-
nco being.glvcn the conservatives in the event
f their taking oilce. ! Gladstone , in reply to
bo question of Labouchero , bald that when ho
was last asked a similar question ho stated
liat ho had not at that time had a conforcnco
with the marquis of Salisbury. Since then
lowover , he had received overtures from the
marquis of Salisbury. Should
lore bo any result of any
orrespondenco between the marquis and him-
elf It would be made public. There would bo
o secret understanding whatever. In that
10 marquis of Salisbury himself concurred ,
'ho houao then , upon motion of Gladstone ,
adjourned until Thurtdtfy next.
KALISllUllV SECURED AN ADJOURNMENT.
In the homo of lords to-day the Marquis
f Salisbury rose amid cheers and asked Lord
Iranville to consent to nn adjournment of the
louse until Tuesday next. Hoeaidtho on-
erencoa of the liberals and conservatives had
ot yet reached the stage to enable either
ide to make o statement , and therefore it
would bo more convenient for all to
lostpono any discussion until Tuesday next
is he had suggested ! He wished , however ,
iO make just ono observationt It was in ro-
nect to a very important order on the paper ,
ie was aware of the importance of pushing
tie redistribution of seats bill to a conclusion ,
mt a very serious question had arisen in con-
lection with the measure. It had become
mown that the redistribution of
eats bill destroyed one set of constituencies ,
'ha Marquis of Salisbury further objected to
: ie redistribution of Boats bill , because when
lassed In its present form it would prevent ,
yen in case of necessity , an appeal to the
ountry before November. The motion
f the Marquis of Salisbury to post-
> one until Tuesday next the consideration
f the distribution of Boats bill was then ad-
pted by a vote of 124-ayes to CG noes. The
* arl of Kimberly , who was secretary for In-
ia in Mr , Gladstone's ministry , voted against
10 motion to adjourn.
CAUTIOUS SALISBURY.
The negotiations between the liberals and
lie conservatives are proceeding through the
nedium of the queen. The Marquis of Sali
nity urgca that If the redistribution of seats
lill is finally passed , the conservatives will be
oprived of the constitutional alternative of
ppealing to the country should
ho liberals unfairly hamper the
onducfc of' publia business. Therefore
30 marquis of Salisbury unexpectedly , after
laklnR the best legal advice on the subject ,
eclded not to allow the seats bill to pass into
law until further consideration had been
iod. It Is impossible for the now bill to coma
ito operation before November , hence Lord
Salisbury insists upon having the liberal
iledges not to.wilfully obstruct the conaerva-
ive leaders.
HAJIBEHLAIN ALAJUI8 THE CONSERVATIVES.
The conservatives are alarmed at the tonO
f Chamberlain's recent speeches , which denote -
note an intention on bis part to harrass the
onservatives to his utmost , The conserva
ives insist that the liberals will yet be com-
ellod to accept Lord Salisbury's terms ,
QLADBTONB SIU.L A POSSIBILITY.
In consequence of the political deadlock the
Sari of Spencer boa-postponed his departure
rom Ireland , . Ths Standard believes Glad-
tone is willing to resume office If the Marquis

oerclon act will be accepted and the Karl of
Spencer and Marquis of Hartington will not-
nter the cabinet ,

CHICAGO , III. , June 11"I think we tha
h ve plenty of cholwa scares before lous
said Commitsionoc of Health DeWolf to-da ;
"It U not iinpon\lej ! that cholera may mai
ts appearance in the United States thii turn-
mor , but thtro la greater danger ot Itsbreak -
ig out in the interior of the couatty rather
tbrni nt cities on the seaboard , because tbo
quarantine regulations will effectually exclude
cholera in persons , nnd thus the maritime
cities will bo shielded , but it will bo vrry
nucli harder to keep out chests of clothing
irought over by emigrants , nnd they tnr > y DO
nlivo with cholera germs , ready to break out
with fnartul virulence In the smaller towns
rhoro they were sent. The publio has been
horouehly aroused , however , and I don't
really think there will bo much danger of mi
pidemic , because everyone fears it and will
omplaln of his careless neighbor.
