WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, May 4.-There is a
storm brewing against Secretary
Sherman. First, a storm from The
outside of the Department on account
OF his decision Of April 90. in relation
to the use of appropriations for the
payment OF "accrued claims" against
the Government, and which decision
practically excluded the payment of
all claims against the United States.
except those based on express con-
tracts, unless there be special APP
preparation by Congress covering the
case. This is a revolution in the con-
duct of the Government business, and
has aroused the rage of large class
of agents and attorneys representing
claims of the character now objected
to, and which have been paid on
proper proof for a period Of thirty
years.
Another trouble is with the Treasu-
ry Department, and grows out of GER
tain radical differences between the
Secretary and some of the heads of
bureaus in the Department. Among
these is ex-Gov. Carpenter, of Iowa,
Second Comptroller. He and Secre-
tary Sherman widely differ on certain
matters pertaining to Gov. Carpen-
ter's bureau. The immediate cause
of the dispute between Secretary
Sherman and Carpenter is said to
have grown out of the fact that the
latter refused to report anybody as
incompetent or inefficient in his Office
in response to recent circular from
the Secretary. He dryly assigns as o
reason that he has no employees in his
bureau of the kind designated. The
general public as yet has known moth
ing of this dispute, but it is very
pretty quarrel as it stands. 1t cannot
be long till the difficulty, if not COM
promised, will reach the situation of
a general engagement.
