s' , Aug. 15. In the latter part
of March Information was received at the of
fice of the civil service commission that the

political assessments were being violated by
persons In the official service of the tfnltcd
States In tlio city of Baltlmoro and that hall of
the United States offices In that city were nlso
being unlawfully used to control a primary
election. An investigation was Immediately
began and continued through n part of the
month of April , conducted by Commissioner
Hooscvelt , and a copy of his report has been
submitted to the president with the approval
of tbo commission.
The following statements are taken from
Commissioner Koosovclt report , as shoeing
tbo result of his Investigation :
The primaries hold on March 30 , were
marked by a very bitter contest between
two factions of the republican party. In Its
substance It was without doubt a light be
tween the ofllco holders on ono side and the
disappointed office seekers on the Other.
Apparently , tboy cared primarily for the
ollices , party success being purely a second
ary consideration , important only because It
facilitated their securing them. It seems tome
mo that this fact alone furnishes nn able
and accurate measure of the much vaunted
usefulness to any party of the oftlee mong-
crlnj. . ofncn seeking and ofllco holding variety
of ward worker.
As while the contest was marked by great
fraud and no little violence , the present
ordinary office seeking ward workers having
a largo percentage of ollico holders , leaves
room to believe that it is part of the natural
order of things that their holders , sookiug to
hold the ollices , should exercise the con
trolling influence in political contests. The
ward worker who is in politics for ofllco Is n
curse to the community and the sooner this is
recognized the bolter. His political victory
is unhealthy nnd mischievous. Take it out
of the power of any politician to give him
any oflico and he will cease from his
nefarious labors 4n a very short time. As
for the L'ovcrnmont ofllco holder , ho must bo
taught in ono way or another bis duty Is to
do the work of the government for tnn whole
people , nnd not to pervert his ollico for the
use of any party or faction.
"In regard to the postofllco and the mar
shal's ollico , the evidence seems to bo per
fectly clear that both of those oftlces were
used for the purpose of interfering with and
controlling the result of the primary elec
tion , and that there was a systematic ,
though sometimes indirect , effort made to
assess the government employes for political
purposes. Marshal Airoy'was undoubledly
one of Iho leaders of one of the factions at
the primaries and took nn active part
therein , even to tbo extent of coining to
physical collision with one. of the opposing
judges whom he accused , whether rightly or
wroncly , of cheating. "
The commissioner then asks the dismissal
of twenty-live men In the marshal's ollico
nnd other departments. "It is evident , " ho
said , "that from the testimony the non-
classlfled service in , the postoftico of Balti
more as is the case xv'ith most all non-classi
fied ofllcors , every patronage was treated as
a Dribory chest from which to reward in
fluential ward workers who were useful or
linoly to bo useful to the faction In power.
The appointments were primarily with a
view of the well being of the public service.
Therefore , while It does not appear that Mr.
ohnson himself used the office to influence
the primary election , it is evident that it
was so used with his full knowledge , nnd
that ho took no effective steps whatever to
prevent such use therefore. lam strongly
of the opinion that ut least decided
'
cided step's should bo taken to
show that the rule against i t
Is not horoaftcr to bo regarded as a dead lot-
tor.

Archhlshop Ireland Denounces Fa
ther Kenny , the New Mclhodi.st.
CIIICAOO , Aug. 10. Ono ot the events of
the Dos Plalncs camp meeting last week was
the conversion of a so-called Catholic priest.
A great deal of noise was made over the
affair , and the "converted" men were greeted
with open arnu. A gentleman In the city hav
ing had some experience in ttio conversion of
Catholic priests was inclined to doubt thill the
man was in good standiiig , nnd acting upon
this thought communicated with Archbishop
Ireland , from whoso archdlocrtso Kenny said
he came. Tlio facts were explained to the
archbishop , and ho was told that Kov. Kenny
embraced Methodism owing to his lack of
belief In Catholicism , nnd especially In the
do"trlno of trnnubstantlatloti. The arch-
bNhop listened attentively , and a smile
Illumined his fnco half. cynical and half
sarcastic. Then ho said :
"Well , well ; another conversation , eh ) nnd
n priest at that. I am sorry for those who
have converted him. Kcv. J. Kenny was
never n clergyman of the diocese of St. Paul.
A man , however , of this name was received
temporarily n vear ago Into' the diocese of
Winonn. His record before coming to
Wlnono was not unknown. Ho had been sev
eral times and In different places , notably
in Illinois and northern Michigan , sus
pended from the ministry for drunkenness.
Ho had orlginallv belonged to the diocese of
Hoehcster , N. Y. , where tnlso ho had some
trouble , presumably on the same ground.
Ho had for sonui time before coming to Min-
uohota sobered up , and on showing appar
ently extraordinary signs of' repentance ho
was admitted on trial by Bishop Cotter.
After a few months , however , ho fell buck
Into his old s < ii , and was uncere
moniously and Ingloriously driven out
of the diocoso. These facts explain his con
version to Methodism. Trrtn ubstantlatlon ,
I am sure. Is- giving him lit.tlo trouble.
Whisky is Ills bete noire. For my part I re
sign him cheerfully to Elder Tru'sdell , cau
tioning the latter to keep carefully from him

story ns confirmed by unquestionable author-
itv : The night following the departure ot
the Imperial yacht , Hohciizollorn from Eng
land , the crow wore beaten to quarters and
was surprised to llnd the quarter deck bril
liantly Illuminated , An nttar had
been erected on the deck , bearing
the old and now testaments and
the kaiser stood by wearing a White ehasublo
With a crozler In his hand and a black and
white tnltre on his head. lie read the most
warlike passages from the testaments and In
vited the crow to respond. Ho then preached
a long sermon on tbo duty ot sovereigns to
their people , the whole service lasting from
11 p. m. to ! i n. m. Tlio crow was then
piped below. At ! i n. m. the kaiser
appeared on the bridge In the uniform of a
high admiral looking extremely haggard and
addressing the commandersaid :
"Sir , retire to your cabin ; I shall take
charge. "
The commander replied : "Sire , permit mole
lo observe that we are in a dangerous pas
sage , and that it u advisable for your ma
jesty's safety as well as for that of the crew
that n sailor remain in command. "
The emperor responded : "Never mind
Cod will inspire mo. "
The com.miin.ler bowed and retired. The
second onieor remaining , the emperor angrily
bade him retire , the olllcor respectfully pro
testing. The emperor thonsald : "You re
sist , wretched creature ; you trouble the
spirit of God which is in mo. This is the
vengeance of God upon you , " dealing the
olllcer a heavy blow upon the cheek ,
The ofllccr turned crimson , but remained
until the ompcror seized him by the throal
and tried to throw him overboard. In tlio
struggle that followed the emperor fell and
broke his knee cap. The emperor swore terribly -
ribly , in fact displayed all the symptoms of
madness. The ofllcors , after a brief consulta
tion , carried him into a cabin padded with
mattresses to which nobody was admitted
except the doctor and the empress. Men
were necessary to help restrain him until
his log was bandaged and n straight jacket
was put on him. The crisis lasted three
days.

Store Money Than Kver Itui'urcow liv

WASHINGTON" , Aug. 10. Secretary Foster
made the following statement in regard to-
the funding preparations and the financial
situation generally : "Aootit $18,000,001) ) of
l'4 per cent bonds have been extended and
applications have been received covering
about $ JriOO,000 more. What the llnal out
come may be , of course , 1 don't kiio\v. It Is
probable , however , that a considerable portion
tion of the balance , $30,000,000 , will bo er-
tcndcd. It will bo no hardship to the treas
ury to be called upon to pay those not ox-
tended. In fuel , such payment will add by
the amount paid , to the money in the hands
of the people.
" the extension succeeded in
"Ily wo prevent
ing a deilcit of national bank notes , and in
fact , have so far increased their circulation
nearly 45,000,000. The outlook Is that a con
siderable more of an increase will bo effected.
I inn not linding any fault with the action
of the bunks , as might bo inferred from to-
cent publications.
"I saw Mr. ShermaJ'-at Mansfield. I
alwa.Vb llnd it prolltuulo to discuss money
matters with him. I don't recall a single dis
agreement between us. The statement tele
graphed from Mansfield regarding our con
ference is a pure romance. While there is
loss money in the treasury than for many
years past , it Is in a comfortable condition.
Because of less moli.oy In tlio treasury It fol
lows that more money , than over uoloro is in
the hands of the people , thus facilitating the
conduct of the business of the country. i.
"We're on a gold basis and thorn is no oc
casion for alarm as to the ability of tbo gov
ernment to maintain this condition. The
secretary has ample power to maintain or In
crease the present roscrvo of gold. 1 may
add that Mr. Sherman fully agrees with mo
regardiuc the local power of the .sTTorolnry ns
above expressed. I don't see any occasion
for the exorcise of this power , but I do not
hesitate to suy that should the occasion arise
1 shall not fail to use It. "
