John Little , congressman of the Eighth dis trict , who has been hero since Wednesday noon , furnishes the following repoit of the re cent cyclone : "Destruction here is not so generally sweep ing as at Jamestown , but it is vastly greater. Tlio general course of the tornado was from touthwest to rurthwest through the long way and centre of the clly. Its general width was about COO feet , with occasional breaks to right or loft. In Its couree of a mile and a half In town , it is an exception that any Kjuaio escaped injury. ID most of them damages to property are marked , and in some fearful. The buiinosa portion suffered moat , Injuries ranged from the shattering of windows dews to every stage of demolition. If a single housa in this portion escaped harm , I have not noticed the exception. In two blocks alone , practical men have estimated tbo loss to buildings at $00,300. The damages to goods in those will not fall under 820,000. "No class of property escaped. Dwellings of nil grades , public hall ) , cimrche ? , school houses , fell a prey to the storm's fury. The Individual losses , as shown by estimates of committees , will exceed § 253,000. These are the total , as they are not covered by Insurance , They fall most largely , but not moat Disas trously , on business men. The devastation will ba most seriously felt by tlis poor , who have come in for their full share. I should Bn > as mtny as forty homes occupied by poor families were utterly demolished. The relief committee estimate for -sub-committees have not reported that 100 families will need otsistanca because of losses Incurred. Some of them , aa I know from personal observation , are rendered destitute. Numbers of them are on the streets , and tbo relief commlttea , which is a most excellent one , will have all It can do witn the funds at hand to provide shelter for them from the coming cold weather , J'very dollar sent to the chairman , Colonel II. 11 , Haynard , Washington Unuit Uouie , Ohio , will be conctentloutlv applied to the relief of the needy poor.

THE YOUNGEST SOLDIER IN TUB UNION ARMY , A tfllegrara was recently sent from Colum bus , Ohio , eaying that Mr. Herbert Fay , ot that city , had been notified by the war de partment that the records show that ha waa the youngeat man enlisted in the union army in any of the states during the rebellion. It is stated at the war department tbat no state ment cf the nature mentioned has over been made by the department , and no intormation on the subject has ever been compiled from the records. War department otBclali say that as it would involve an examination of tbo records of nearly 3OOJ,00 , mou to enable tba department to maka any such statement with any degree of acsuracy , and us nothing would bo gained to the general public service by the ampliation of such information , the probability is that the question of who _ waa the youngest soldier will never be definitely settled , DEPAETSIKNT HARD WORKERS. Col. JohnS William" , third auditor of the treasury , to-day addressed a letter to the sec retary of the treasury , staling that on tha first day of May last , when lu issumed the duties of third auditor , it was notorious , that the business of the ollld ) wai largely tn ar rears , the cause being that the clerical forua was not sufliciant for the propr despatch of work , The pension division was nearly a year behind in its examinations and settlements of the accounts of pension agents , Involving the sum of $75,987,835 , mis cellaneous claims against tha government , in cluding state war claims , amounting to $15- 687,774 , Some of the work of tao collections of the division was over two years In arrears. In the horse claim division over 11,000 claims wore pending and unsettle- ) , involving 81,710- 390. Unsettled accounts of army quarter masters and commissioners amounted to $5,468,208. Unsettled accounts of engineers amounted to $5t&6 , making a grand total of 5104,527,017. In the short space of four months , ending on the 31st of August , and without increasing tbo clerical force , Auditor Williams say a the accounts of all pension agents have been ex amined and settled up to the 1st of Juno , last , and clerka In the division are now examining and settling the accounts of the last quarter , which is current work , As a showing of im provement In the workag capacity of the clerks of tbat division he saya that during the moot ha of May June , July and August , 1884 , there were ex amined and settled accounts aggregating S1U.- 223,580 , For the corresponding four ; montha in 1885 , the same clerka , with perhaps three or four execeptlona , examined and settled 875,105,778. Thesa figures make their own comment. In the house claim * division G13 claims have baen adjusted or rejscted , in volving $76,275 besides carrying on a large amount ot correspcndence necessary to the proper di.poeal of the remaining cases. During the same period of 1884 , 200 casesjwere disposed of Involving 827,77-4. The accounts of quartermasters , commissaries and engineers are up as far as ppseible for them to ba and clerks In these divisions are now engaged in current work. The claims division , collections divisions and horse claims divisions are the only ones in arrears , and the character of the work necessarily precludes the possibility of its being done promptly. This Is explained on tha plea that In almost every case Information is required from other ollicers and outelda source ; , which often involves long do f. Auditor Williams says it ia due to the clerks In the office to say that with a law ex ceptions , since tha present auditors incum bency , they have been faithful and efficient. Their improvement in this reaped ia simply wonderful , Aa a consequence a largo amount of work has been performed , and that on the whole , builnoss la in a very satisfactory con dition. As a result the Improved condition of the business of the office , and greater tiliciency baa been obtained The third auditor recom mended a reduction In the clerical force , The law now provides for 1(8 clerks , and there are now six vacancies by resignation which need not bo filled , Tbo eerviuag of twelve moro clerka can ba dispensed with without Injury to the public service , making a total reduc tion ot eighteen clerks , Ari'OINTJIENTrt , A.

AQRICULTU1IAL DEPORTS , The September report of the department of agriculture , now In press , contains an article allowing the production , consumption , and distribution of wheat of the United States In eight years past , and others demonstrating the excess of commercial estimates of the Pa cific coast wheat production , and completeness of the assessors' returns of the western states as to area and products , DECLINED THE IUQOI8T , The second comptroller of the treasury made a deciiion denying the motbn of the counsel for the Baltimore & Ohio lUilroad company , that the accounts of Ilia company for general transportation of soldiers and supp'Iea ' during tha civil war be reopened. The application was bated ou the ground that the company waa subjected to extraordinary dangers ana expense in executing the business of tba government , and waa therefore enti tled to more liberal compensation than was allowed at the time the accounts were settled. The comptroller declined to reopen tbo accounts for the reason that they tad already been settled , and becauie na new evidence wai presented to justify such a course. He also made the point that the property of the company , Instead of being jeopardized by the business cf tha government was in fact protected thereby , AT TUB WIIITB HOUSE. Today waa a very busy day at the white hous-j , and the president received a larger number of visitora than any day since his re turn. Among the prominent callers were Secretary Bayard , Assistant Secretary Porter and ex Senator McDonald , The president held a public reception in ihe east room In the afternoon lasting nearly an hour , HOl'E FOR OmOI HUNTKBS , WAHUINOTSN , Sept. 10.3peial [ to Chicago Timoi. ] The few appointments made yester day had the effect of cheering the hearts of dis consolate democrats who have been anxiously waiting for patronage llohtning to strike in their vicinity. Within the coming two weeks quite a numbar of democratic congrtssmen who have been among their constituents ar- ranginp slates will bo in Washington with their list of names , and tha president will have plenty to do , Ho is exceedingly earn- ful now In ( electing persons for appoint ment to office. When tha head of n department calls upon him with a recommendation that a certtln applicant shall ba appointed to a given position , ho presents n carefully prepared summary of the papers of every applicant for that position. The president goes over tha whole list , and not unfrcquently bfori as- renting to _ the proposed appointment calls for for the original pipers on tile In behalf of ono or moro other applicants for the place. The head of the department also submits In detail his reasons for selecting the ap plicant ho rccomrrendi. The president per sonally examines the papers and spares no pains to thoroughly Inform himself of the merits and demerits of the Severn' ' applicants. The prevailing Improstion among democrats in Washington at protent seems to bo that official changes will now bo made rltht along. This impression , however , appears to bo based moro upon assumption than authority. The applications now being pressed are mostly for federal offices within the various stater , and do not relate to depart mental positions In Washington. This is easily understood from tha fact that elections are to bo held this year In some of the atatt * , and democratic aspirants for elective offices are anxious to put their frlonds ia positions where they can bo utoful to them , It is said that lovoral changes will bo made in the of fices of the interior department soon , and tha report that n supervising architect ot the treasury Is to bo camsd at an early day Is thought to have eomo founda tion. With regard to tha coast sur vey It is not thought that the president will be in a hurry to appoint a permanent super intendent , He said before leaving for his holiday that he would take his time to make the selection , as the position required a man of rather special qualifications , ouo poseceslnc ecieutific knowledge and business capacity. roit THE OOOD or THE PUBLIC SERVICE.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 11. Second Comp troller Maynard baa written a tcply to Hear Admiral Jouett , in regard to the item of $100 paid for the entertainment of visitors to the ibg-ahip Tennessee at the New Orleans ex- posltiun , in which ho reviews the whole ques tion in the light of the points raiecd by the admiral in defer.eo of the expenditure. Ho takes issue with tha admiral on the point that the expenditure could properly be nu. da from the contingent fund , and quotes from a decision made by Attorney Ueneial Devino in that contingent expenses as used In the appropriation acts , mean euch Incidental casual expenses aa are necessary , or at least appropriate and convenient , In order to the performance of dtUies required by the department or ollico for which tha appropria tion ia made. ThaComptroller BITS ho has been unable to find any law which requires either the navy department or any cilicer of the navy to entertain public officials rjf the expense of the government , and adds that ho cannot ascent to the admiral's statement that It has been the practice of accounting qfflcera to al low euch disbursements under thu head of con tingent or extraordinary expenses. But what ever the practice in this respect may have been , ho eays , it will ba conceded that if un lawful it can not bo too promptly discon tinued. The auditor says in this connection , how ever , it may ba stated that sinca the 4th of March there appears to have been an aston ishing Improvement in the health of the clerks. Lash year with 169 clerks there were 1.C9G eick days. To-day the auditor knows of only two clerks who arq absent on sick leave , The comptroller adds that the records of the treasury department will bear him out in the statement , that from time immemorial It has been the practice when a public officer bad received money belonging to the govern ment , to which ho waa for any reason not en titled , to make stoppage in hia pay account until the amount illegally received had been made good. In concluding , the comptroller sutrgests that the admiral bring enit for the portion cf bis pay withhold , and so test the whole question , TUB NBW SIBERIAN MINISTER'S RECORD , Rev Moses A.
