Lass q Kaa IN OOes.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Times
special says the list of relatives employed
in the Treasury department has been CON-
pieted. and those TO be discharged under
the receutorder of Sherman will be given
notices to resign after June 30th. Sher-
man says this matter will be the subject
of general complaint. For many years
il has grown to he an abuse which de-
mands correction. Tn the Treasury office
are seventy employees who are related,
and in the Internal revenue bureau over
thirty. The weight of this large influence
is said to be very great aud always com.
bincd to maintain themselves In places and
secure the appointment Of members OF thu
same families. The Secretary says, In
some instances this family influence has
divisions of the department. He says he
will, for the present, confine operations to
blood relationship. Until it was recently
published in the newspapers, he didn't
know the Sherman family was so extern
sive. Except Sherman's nephew now in
New Mexico, as U. S. Marshal, he has no
knowledge that any other blood relations
of his are in the public service.

dcrs Morales and Cooley. In q subse-
quent engagement with the troops Gerbu-
RI and Morales were made prisoners.

London correspondent says it has been q

draw the attention of important English
capitalists to the feasibility of organizing
a company to construct the long mooted
Nicaraguan canal. With one gentleman,
at least, u member of Parliament and q
banker of unusual ability, Pierrepont is
understood to have intimated that ex- Pres
idcnt Grant would accept the presidency
of such company, provided 1t were or
ganized by persons competent to guarantee
the success of the enterprise. This con-
versation occurred some weeks before
Grant sailed from Philadelphia, and the
matter has since been moOted in financial
circles. Pierrepont intimatcd that one
American capitalist, New York gentle

with several projects for uniting the At
lantic and Paicfic oceans by an American
work as soon as commenced in England.
