A MISSING MONEY PACKAGE.

AN OLD CLERK OF THE WASHINGTON POST OFFICE
LOSES A TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR PACKAGE-HE
is so FRUSTRATED by 1T THAT HE GOES TO BED.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The City Post Office
authorities actively engaged in the endeavor to dis
cover the whereabouts of between $4,000 and $1,000
drawn from the Treasury yesterday by William D.
Brown the Financial Clerk OF tie City Post Office, and
according the report Of that officer lost by him in one
Of the closets OF the Treasury building Detectives arc
busy searching clew that will lead to the recovery
Of the money.
Brown is not under arrest but remains at his home in
this city in an anxious and excited condition Some OF
his friends believe his story think that he had the
money stolen from him. and Postmaster Edmunds can
not be brought believe that there has been an embez
element Thus far arrests have been made Brown
has been employed In the Post Office Department for
thirteen years ID the accounting division OF the office,
and has been held in very high regard by his official
associates
Mr. Browns wife reported to the Postmaster yester-
day that he had lost the money She was very much
cited She told Postmaster Edmunds that her husband
had drawn tho funds and lost them, and wanted the
Postmaster to come 70 her house Immediately The
Postmaster accompanied by Assistant Postmaster Tul.

questioned him, but obtained no clew 20 solution OF
the mystery Brown aferward returned to the Treasury
in company with the detective and the two went over
the same ground that Brown covered after he drew tho
money.
While at the house Postmaster Edmunds inquired Of
Brown why he did report the loss OF the money TO
the Post Office authorities Immediately after Its dis
covery and Brown gave his reason for this strange
conduct that lie was excited and shocked when he
found that tho money WAS gone as TO scarcely know

THE TELLER INVESTIGATION.

LETTERS SENT TO SENATOR BLAINE AND SENATOR
THURMAN-oNLY a WEEKS DELAY BEFORE THE
BEGINNING OF ACTIVE WORK.
iBY TELEGRAPH TO the TRIBuNFl
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Teller left wash
incon last night for NewYork, to spend Christmas,
and will return next Wednesday. Before leaving
he sent notes to Senators Blaine and Thurman, IN
accordance with resolutions adopted by the COM
mittee of which he is chairman, requesting them to
communicate to the committee any Information lh
their possession relative to the matters when the
committee is to Investigate.
II ia learned that the principal reason which in
spired the Republican members of the committee to
vote against Senator Bayard's resolution offered on
Friday calling upon the President for information
In regard to the same matters was belief that the
TRIALS now in progress In South Carolina and Lou
isiana would be embarrassed by premature publ
cation of the evidence in the possession of the At
torney-General in form which might be considered
as complete Besides, such a resolution of inquiry
has already been adopted by the Senate, to which
the President has not yet replied If he does reply,
the Senate will doubtless refer any information
which it receives to the Teller Committee for its
consideration.
No Republican believes that anything Of value to
the committee can come from the inquiries ad-
dressed to Senators Blaine and Thurman as those
gentlemen are not understood to have in their pos
session any facts which are not already notorious.
The Republican members of the committee could,
however, see no good reason for voting against the
resolution which was offered by Senator Bailey, and
they allowed the inquiry TO be made. On the
other hand il is probable that if Senator Blaine in
reply to the inquiry addressed to him should emu
merate such facts rs he may be able to gather re-
gsrding the recent disturbances in South Carolina
and Louisiana the Democratic members of the COM
mittee will make effort to limit the scope of the
inquiry to the facts SO set forth.
No decision was reached at the meeting held yes
terday regarding subcommittee. resolution to
sit with open doors until otherwise decided upon
was adopted and tine committee adjourned to meet
again next Thursday, December 26 mot Thursday,
January as published in the Sunday papers,,
when it is expected that moro vigorous movements
will begin. Four members of the committee,
Messrs. Hoar Mcmillan, Bayard and Wallace, have
given notice that they cannot possibly take part IN
the work of investigation until after the holiday
recess This, however, will not interfere with the
sending of sub-commttees to the South If 1t is
thought best to do SO.
No consideration will be given to that part OF the
Blaine resolution which requires the committee to
see whether Congress is competent to provide for
the more perfect security of the right of suffrage
until the other branches of the investigation are i'm
isled.
