District Finances.

THE HITCH AT THE q. S. TREASURY.
The differences between the Treasury officials
and the District commissioners, as to the con-
struction of the law in relation to the powers
and functions OF the latter, have not yet been
settled. The main point at issue is that the
Treasury officials take the ground that the
District Government is merely bureau of the
Ileasary l,ae department, and that the. District
commissioners are diSburSing officers merely
While the commissioners hold that their duties
are ministerial, and that if there Is any dis
buosing officer in the District Government, it is
the District auditor, who. although he does not
have custody OF the funds OF the District, yet
ne draws all warrants, which are certified by
the commissioners on vouchers.
THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS HOLD
that in reality the U. s. Treasurer is the dis
bursting officer for the District and that such
was the intention OF the trainers OF the law,
The principal purpose OF the law was to make
the U. 5. Treasury depository for District rev.
enueS instead of having them farmed around
among irresponsible banks of the District, and
that tne commissioners were to draw upon such
funds in the hands OF the Treasurer through the
proper forms and safeguards, which they claim
they have done. A requisition of 5000 900 recent
~ made upon the Treasurer, the first controller
refused to honor on the ground that the vouch-
ers had not been properly rendered for the last
quarter, and the charge was made by the con-
troller that the books in the Commissioners
once were kept In such manner as to render
IL impossible FOR them to furnish vouchers This
statement the Commissioners characterize as
entirely grouGdless, and an inspection OF their
BOOKS oy any expert from the Treasury depart
ment is invited on their part Yesterday the
commissioners forwarded the vouchers asked
for, amounting to nearly as much as the reoui-
s1tiOn. 1t is not improbable the Commissioners
may appeal to the President for reference of
the disputed points OF law to the Attorney GEN
era! for his opinion. The question as to honor
ing the requisitiOn by the Treasurer is still open
and the commissioners are doing all In their
deadlock
THE-DEAD LOCK WILL PROBABLY BE OVER TO-
MORROW.
Inc accounts and accompanying vouchers of
the District Commissioners were handed over
haste possible with a proper Examination Of
them is being made. 1t Is thought that the
work will be finished to-day, and that the Dis
trlct commissioners can draw money from the
Treasury tomorrow.

THE CAUSE OF DIPHTHERrA.-The principal
causes OF diphthera, as prevailing I'm this CITY, is
TO be found, undoubtedly, In impure air, and
the greatest causes OF bad air are the under
ground ducts particularly the sewers. The soil
on which the city stands has been sufficiently
lmpregnated with animal matter TO make it
more or less poisonous, and at certain seasons
OF the year 1t is hardly advisable TO open UNDER
ground ducts or even the pavement OF a street
unneces esSar1ly. That large part OF sewer-gas
enters houses, especially OF the wealthy, is
hardly open TO doubt, and as rule it may be
said that sleeping rooms should never connect
directly with the sewer. The foul odor which
emanates, especially now, for numerous sewers
is positively Sickening. The evil is so great
that the public authorities cannot give it too
early or too careful attention. Providence
