AGEMENT OF THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVING.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRTBUNE.I
WAsHINGTON, Oct. 1.-MT Mcpherson formally
surrendered the position Of Chief Of the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing to-day; and Colonel o. H.
Irish, who as Assistant-Chief of the bureau has
shared with Mr.. Mcpherson in the management Of
1t, was appointed chief.
in taking leave of Mr.. Mcpherson, Secretary
Sherman expressed his regret at losing the assist
ance of so efficient an officer, and added " You have
conferred honor upon the department by the man
ner in which the bureau has been conducted" Mr..
Mcpherson was afterward called upon by the en-
ployfs of the bureau in a body and was presented
with letter expressing their regret at his de-
parture Mr. Mcpherson replied in a brief speech.
The exchief who is not IN robust health, has left for
his home in Pennsylvania where he will spend two
or three days before assuming his editorial duties
in Philadelphia
story was started last night, and was tele-
gaphed to several Democratic newspapers in the
West and elsewhere, to the effect that Mr. McPher-
sons resignation had been brought about by rregu-
aritics in his bureau. 1t asserted that he has
in the three months of the present fiscal year ex-
pended about threequarters of the entire appropria-
ton made by Congress to defray the expenses of the
bureau until next july and it was said in addi-
tion that the work of the bureau, especially upon
revenue stamps, is far behind the requirements of
the service.
This whole tale Is n barefaced lie. Not only has
the bureau not exceeded the monthly proportion of
its appropriation for the current fiscal year. but an
actual saving of several thousand dollars within the
appropriation has already been effected. The facts
with regard to the revenue stamps are equally
CTeditablc. The daily TCQuisltIOn of the Internal
Revenue Burcau is being filed with inyarlabe
punctuality. The appropriation for the current
fiscal year is 100000 The bureau Is doing about
rcncy as il has hitherto done, yet IL is keeping
within the approximations. Previous to the appoint
mcnt Of Mr.. McPhcrson the bureau had cost tie
Government annually from $500, 900 to -, ,OO00 600.
