GARBAGE WAR.

Yesterday Judge Van Brunt gave decision In the
suit recently tried before him at Supreme
Court, Special Term, involving the much ht
gated question concerning the powers OF Shore
Inspector Cornelius Ferguson to interfere with
the scows of tho New York Street Cleaning
Department In dumping city garbage IN the lower
bay. 1t claimed ~ tho shore inspector that the
city had right dump its garbage in such close
proximity TO the Long Islend Shore as It would
be east upon the shore by tho incoming tide
A suit was brought by the city to prevent
auy interference with lis dumping scowA Judge
Van Brunt in mis- decision says that the plaintiffs

irrepressible fretfulness. Anything is bet
ter than to sit still rotting in filth, dreaming
vainly of home and watching death sowing
and reaping, and according to reports which
believe to be true, the peaceful spirit has
fled from the camp, and the idea of war is
again welcome. With this spirit abroad,
and as far as I can learn, it is not confined
to the less reflective or irresponsible ranks
of the army, it must not be overlooked that
the temptations to coup de main are very
great.
BRITISH BLUsTEB.
LONDON, April 20.-The Indian govern
ment has chartered five steamers for the
conveyance Of troops from India. Three are
taken for three months and their primary
destination is Port Said. The others are en-
gagged for two months. These are the Stra-
soph, the celebrated Australian steamer of
$500 tons burden, capable of transporting
5000 men, and the Nankin, of $500 tons,
capable of carrying full regiment.
The United Service Gazette says it has
good reason for stating there will be a strong
combined channel and Baltic fleet formed
within the next two months.

for St. Petersburg tomorrow. The Caucas-
sian army corps is to be disbanded.

tons of England.

Nelcs special reports large body of Indians
from Mexico raiding the Fort Ewell settle
ments. large number of ranches have
been plundered and many lives lost. Sol
diers and citizens are in pursuit, but judging
from the direction taken by the raiders they
will probably re-cross the Rio Grrnde before
they can be overtaken.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 2o.-Reports
reach here that the Indian raiders who
crossed from Mexico one week ago, have
reached the Fort Ewell sheep settlements,
and are sweeping the focks before them,

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Special Agent Curtis,
OF the treasury department., to-day continued
his statement before the House appropriation
committee, in relation to the large number of
claims for customs drawbacks, claimed by a
number Of New York lawyers. as attorneys for
importers. He reviewed at considerable length
group OF twelve cases, amounting in the ag-
gregate to $42,201 designated as cash, which
have been adopted but not paid, and said that
there was case in the group that should be
paid, and that was the case of Il. Pastor and
others against Burney, amounting to
1914. He said that the attorneys upon
obtaining access to the papers altered them and
that the work was left mostly to government
clerks. He had statements of clerks acknowl-
edging that they had performed services for
outside attorneys and had received compensa-
ton therefor. Jordan, an attorney, represent
ing a large number of claimants, said the allie
cations OF Curtis were very surprising to him,
and asked that time be given to consult
other representatives of claimants in order to
determine whether not they should under
take to rebut the case Of the government before
the committee or resort to the courts. The
counsel subsequently concluded to take the
cases in the courts for legal determination

PtllLan on Finances.

WASHINGTON, April 20.-The committee on
banking and currency gave hearing to-day to
Richard B. Pullan, of Cincinnati, retired
merchant and author of book recently pub
lished on the subject of finances. His idea is
that the only proper money that should be al
lowed to circulate is that issued by the govern
ment, and that the government prerogative to
issue money applies with much greater force to
paper money than coin. He thinks that on
that subject the public mind has been misled
for generations. Banks, he thinks, might
rather be allowed to issue coin than paper, be-
cause the intrinsic value of coin is near it's
actual value, whereas the only value of paper
moneyis that imposed upon it by the govern
ment
