Tno vienna Scenoals
Mr.. W. J. Stellman, writing to the
Tribune from Vienna about the irregu.
larities in the American depart
ment OF the Exposition, tells
the story of how the old
scandal of the restaurant corruptions.
Jewet, OF Jewet Il Tracy, Of New York,
called on General Van Buren in Octob-
er last, and told him that he intended
establishing an American restaurant at
the Exposition. Van Buren replid that
be had many applicants, that Tom Cable
and Sutherland, OF New York, were
among them and that he had already
made partial promise to one Hitzel,
of 208 Broadway, and suggested that
Jewett and Hitzel unite their resources,
as he only wanted one restaurant aud
a good one. The suggestion was adopt
ed, and Meyer drew up the articles OF
agreement, which were signed, Meyer
also signing as witness. The articles
required the immediate deposit Of one
thouand dallars each, and another OF
five thousand dollars each, before June
lst. Hitzel failed to make bis deposit
in the time specified, the bankers de.
clining the check presented. The par.
ties then went to Meyer to arrange the
final details as to concession, etc,
when Meyer said that the expenses
Of the Commission were heavy and
that no appropriation had been made
by Congress, and suggested that they
give him as loan the check rejected at
the bank. Jewett refused, and was
obliged to esil for Europe without the
papers, leaving Hitzel's deposit unpaid.
Meyer, however, gave Jewett letter
to Baron Schwartz Sonborn, who in
formed him that Van Buren had no
right to make concessions or to grant
space outside OF the building for any
purpose. Jewett's concession was made
and contracts entered involving $500,
600, the understanding being between
Schwartz and Jewett that no other
concession for the restaurant would
be made. On returning to New York
Jewett found Hitzel had paid Mayer
one thousand dollars, to be returned
when the appropriation was made, but
bad got no memorandum or receipt
for it. He also ascertained that
Van Buren made to Bochine
and Wiele ancessions for two or
more barrooms, and was informed by
one of the firm, that they paid from
two thousand to three thousand dollars
for these concessions in the hope ol
loans and school house donations, and
that mart of this went to Van Buren.
