WASHINGTON Dec. 9.-There is we'll
founded rumor that Mr.. Glover and his
numerous experts are not to be allowed
free range of the Treasury Department this
winter. 1t is said that few days since Mr..
Glover addressed note to the Secretary of
the Treasury requesting that one OF his ex-
perts be permitted to examine the records
of one of the bureau officers and that Secre-
tary Sherman replied to the effect that 1T
would afford him great pleasure to give him
every facility in his examination, but that
it was contrary to the rules of the Depart
ment to allow any one other than an officer
of the Department to make general exam
inatiOn, but that if Mr.. Glover would say
what particular paper or papers he desired
to see that original would be exhibited or
copies furnished, if wanted. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Glover and his experts
were allowed full and free range of the De-
partment during the last session of Con-
gress, and that from time to time the coun-
try was given to understand that develop
ments were being made, showing misman-
agement, fraud and corruption on the part
of certain Treasury officials.
Mr. Glover allowed the session to close
without making any reports whatever to
the House Of Representatives, but in two
or three instances, his experts by his direc-
ton, prepared sensational paragraphs CIV
ing the result of his investigation for the
press. which great many papers refused to
publish, and many of those that did publish
them cautioned their readers against
placing implicit confidence in them as the
high character of the parties assailed made
them incredible. The character of the ex-
perts employed by Mr.. Glover is not such as
+f 81 tl,,r tI,o of tI,au
or of the country One Of the persons en-
ployed by him for while was at one time a
clerk in the office of the First Auditor and
was discharged for furnishing claim agents
with the names of persons to whom un-
claimed interest was due to the Govern
ment Another was formerly clerk in the
Bureau of Statistics and was discharged for
incompetency. Another was at one time
clerk in the Assay office at New York,
who was detected in making false income
returns some years ago. Another was at
one time special agent of the Treasury
Department, and is now under Indictment
for perjury in the District of Columbia.
A Good Law for Any State.
A bill has been introduced in the South
Carolina Legislature which has passed a
second reading and will certainly become a
law that will add greatly to the peace of the
state rms Dill provides that any person
convicted of carrying concealed weapons or
arms on the streets or highways shall be
punishable by fine of not less than 5000
nor more than 81, 900 and imprisonment for
not less than six months nor more than one
year.
Committee With an Uncertain Fu-
ture.
A prominent member of the Potter Com
m oittae said last nipht that il was tren el "
uncertain whether or not the Committee
would continue its investigation. Some
members of the Committee were in favor Of
going on but others thought it best to let
the whole thing go as it is. The cipher dis
patches now in possession of the Committee
have never been Overhauled, and their pur-
port of course is unknown, consequently
both sides are afraid of them. 1t is proba-
BILE that the Committee will hold meetings
at different intervals from now until the
4th of March, but without transacting any
