A Wall street broker named Brainard and
a lawyer named Lawrence, have been arrest
ed in New York, charged with presenting at
the Pension office of the United States, GER
tain claims purporting to be against the gov
eminent for bounty land. with intent to de-
fraud the defendants, it is charged, knowing
the same to be forged. The alleged forge
ries cover the sum of $4,000, or $4,000,
some Of which have been paid. They have
been held to bail in the sum of $4,000 each.
The rain on Monday in New York city
and vicinity did not, it appears, extend very
far The n Y. Tribune says:-"ln many
counties hardly drop of rain has fallen for
a month. The grass is thin, and the promise
of hay is not cheering one. The baked
earth on the uplands has been turned stifhy
and in clods by the corn blowing. The most
of it will have to be crushed or narrowed be-
fore planting. The long want of rain has in
many districts establisheda positive drouth."
Itisstated that among the presents brought
by the Japanese, for the President OF the
United States is the most magnificent and
costly tea set ever made. 1t is OF Japan wire,
and delicately inlaid with pearls and fine
gold. 1t cost $1,000. The other presents
are said to be superior silk goods, and other
articles for which the country is famous
All the articles are unequalled for beauty,
cost and exquisite workmanship.
The London correspondent of the New

that the late Postmaster OF New York, Mr..
Fowler, is discovered to have been IL default
ter in the latter part OF the year 1893. when he
was delinquent some SS7 900, and by the end
of the year was short about 500, 0OO.-
About that time Mr.. Maroon, the Third As
sistant, was i'll, and he died about the end of
February. 1859. The late Postmaster Gene

time Mr. Holt the present Postmaster Gen

of course could know nothing of the financial
tate of the New York Post Office, other
wise than by the Postmaster $ weekly deposits
with the Receiver. The receipts of the New
York Post Office vary very much in the dit
tercnt quarters The Postmaster, if his re-
ccipts should he very large, might make very
respectable deposits, and still be delinquent
many thousands OF dollars. This game
might be carried on for half Il year before
much Of detalcation could he discovered, rs
his account Tor one quarter may not III the
course Of business, be audited, before the
end Of the succeeding quarter. The Audi
tors Office was established in TIE year 1896.
for the purpose Of preventing such occnrren-
ces as this. If this deialcaton WAS known
in that Office, and it is not perceived how it
could be otherwise, it seems singular that il
was not long since brought to the notice oi
the Postmaster General. The President and
Postmaster General, mean to probe this mat
ter to the bottom. The investigation which
is going on, will in all probability damage
