lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUSEl
WAsHINGTON Nov. 24.-Mr. Chandler will order
additional removals to be made in the Interior De-
partment on Saturday. Some Of the prominent
clerks, who have already been deposed, threaten to
Use great political influence TO their reinstate-
ment To these Secretary Chandler has replied that
if they undertake this the causes OF their removal
will be made public. There il the best
authority for the statements that Mr.. Chand-
Ter, in his reorganization OF the Depart
ment, has discovered the existence OF at
least four separate and independent rings,
composed of clerks which, il not oath bound
organizations had all the efficiency of such organna-
tons and exercised similar terror over their mem
bers Some Of these rings have gone so Tar as to APP
proprate and mutats the records OF the office, ana
all of them have used public information for private
gain. One of them has established bank, to lend
money TO fellow-clerks at usurious rates The mem-
bers of these organizations have held secret meet
ings and have pledged the joint political influence
of the assistants to the support OF any member of
the combination whose place might be imperlled.
Secretary Chandler is just now trying to find
new Commissioner of Indian Affairs He has ten
dered the position successfully to two men in Mchi-
gan. and one in New-Engand, each of whom has de-
clined it with thanks the ground that it Is not
worth having. The office pays legtimately only
81, 600 year, but it has been source OF great
profit and large wealth to predecessors OF the
present officer. 1t il known that Mr. Chandler con-
templates rigid revision of the Office and cleans
ing of its various branches. general change in the
personnel of the Office and large number of remoy-
ais Of Indian agents and other officers on the from
tier may be counted on with entire certainty.
Whether the change will bring reform can now only
be matter OF conjecture.

INTIMIDATION OF ENGLAND THOUGHT TO BE IN
TENDED-ABsURDrrY OF THE NOTION.
Ri TELEGRAPH TO THE rRTBUsE.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-The latest conjecture IN
regard to the mysterious activity of the Navy De-
partment just at this tme is that the President is
preparing to communicate to Great Britain per-
emptory refusal to pay some exorbitant sum OF
money which il demanded by Canada for fishing
privileges accorded to the citizens OF the United
States BY the treaty of Washington. The absurdity
of such a report as this is shown by simple reading
of the Odd Article of the treaty, which does not
provide for the presentation of any claims 10
the United States Government, but to Commission
which has not yet been appointed. The most that
the British Government could do would be to urge
upon the President the speedy appointment OF
Commissioner To represent the United States and IT
i, not at all likely that our Government would re-
fuse to do this without good excuse In fact. from
an unofficial point of view it is impossible to see
why Canada should be any more anxious than the
United States for the award of commission, since
all available statistics lead to the conclusion that
Canadian fishermen have been much more benefited
BY having free market in the United States for the
sale of the produce Of their fisheries than those oil
the Uuied States by admission TO the 'nshore fish
cries OF the Dominion.

The Sunday ExcursiOas and MOunt

Editor &Gr:-A card from Colonel Holdings
worth, OF Mount Vernon, appears in yester-
days STAR. complaining OF trespass from
certain parties who came to Vernon Springs
on the Mary Washington last Sunday. The
language of this card seems to throw dis
credit upon the visitors at the latter place
The inquiry is made: "What shall be done
TO prevent the Sunday excursions from in
vading the sacred precincts of Mount Yer
non?''
Being responsible for the ATTEMPT to fur
nish to the hardworked people of the city
and their families cheap excursion on the
only day left to them, desire TO say a word
In defence of the Mary Washington and her
passengers. The excursion last Sunday was
large, and included many of the best citizens
and several members Of the press. Both en-
route and on shore the behavior of the en-
tire party was as decorous as in a well-or-
dered home. A few wild boys wandered
away from the main party at Vernon
Springs TO see the Tomb of Washington and
get some cherries. This was outrageous,
and they ought to have been caught and
fogged, or at least well scored. 1t is what
everybody has to look out for when excur-
slons come down the river. There will
always be few rogues. The remedy is tn
catch and punish them. 1 distinctly nOtified
every one could that visitors were nor re-
ceived at Mount Vernon on S,i,,tdus No
one connected wi tn the boat is in any way
TO blame, and / am sure all will readily
unite with Colonel Hollingsworth to pre-
vent any trespass upon the sacred spot
which he presides over so gracefully and
Worthily as agent of the Ladies Associat ton.
