Assessing the Clerks In the Interior Depnrt-
ment by Order Of Chandler.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Secretary Chand-
Ter has found out that there Is a Mr.. Redway In
his department, and that he has beon assessing
the clerks two per cent Of their salaries. Hence
commotton exist. Mr.. Redway was sent for
by the Secretary, and by him ordered to 10
AROUND with bis subscription list and tell the
clerks that they could Ike their names OF and
way the subject Of much merriment in tho
departments on Saturday. The Secretary has
gone back on him. None OF the clerks, so far
as heard from, have had the courage to drop
their names. The impending reduction 10 the
force and the chance OF dismissal Is too great.
but the Secretary cannot escape bv making
Redway a scapegoat. When Redway went
around with the list on the first day he struck
Clark, the Recorder In the Land ONCE. Clark
demurred. and Redway told him he must Dut his
name down or the Secretary would relieve him.
Commissioner OF the Land Once and reported
what Red way was doing and what he had said.
The Com mi ssioner sent for Redway and wanted
his authority. Redway told him that no
had the direct orders OF the Secretary. Tho
Commissioner had nothing more to say.
and Mr.. Redvay went on. Everybody knows
that Redway would not have had the audacity
to act 10 he did without orders from the Secre-
tary. But everybody who knows the secretary
knows that he would not hesitate to 20 back on
an unfortunate fellow whom he had placed In a
false position.
There will he an interesting time collecting
these assessments. The new Legislative bill will
prevent the payment Clerks who pay will be
liable tn the penalty. IL Is understood that a
resolution OF inquiry will be offered tomorrow.

An Application for N Rehearina-How tn
Adverse Decision was Obtained.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-The House Ju-
dietary Committee on the consideration OF the
claim OF William McGarrahan to the Panoche
Grande Rancho, California. embracing the New
IdriA Quicksilver mine, havo referred 1t to
subcommittee, consisting OF Messrs. Knott,
Lynde. and McCrary, for the investigation OF the
whole matter on Its merits, with view Of rec
ommending the enactment Of a bill to renvest
the Supreme Court Of the United States With
Jurisdiction over II for a hearing. McGarrahan
claims that tue adverse decision OF that court
was brought about by forged recorde. perjured
affid wits. the suppression OF evidence In Attor
ney-Generai Blacks ONCE. ana the failure OF tae
court to consider the documentary evidence
supposed by the late Reverdv johnson. who
argued the case for McGarrahan, to have reach
ed the court, but which evidence lust prior to
his death was found to have been Tor years In
the archives OF the court unopened, and IN con-
sequence OF which fact he nad m ade arrange
menis for an application to tue court for a re
argument Of ths case. II Is now thought by
McGarrahsns present counsel that an act OF
Congress authorizing the court to rehear the
case will be neces AIRY in order to add tnls new
testimony and the alleged proofs OF offictal Tor
gerry and perjury to the record on such rehear ng.
The sub-committee will, during the recess,
connne their labois to the investigation OF TINS
new evidence, with a view Of determining whe-
ther II would Justify a rehearing OF the whole
