Special Dispatch to the Register,
WASHINGTON, ID. O., Feb. Is.
Senator therefore, to-day introduced IN
the Senate three bills making approprla'
tions for West Virginia rivers as follows:
Little Kanawha river, 100000; Elk
river, $50, 1000; New river, $4,000.
They were referred to the Commerce
Committee which takes up tomorrow
the River and Hsrbor bill as reported
from the House.
The Object of Hereford's Bills
ia 10 induce the Senate Committee 10
make an increase in the house bill to the
above amounts. He will be contented
with 500 900 for the Great kanawha as
reported from the House. Tomorrow
the Senator will introduce another bill
for Improvement OF the Big Sandy
river.
The Clarkaburg Public Buildings.
Next week he hopes to get the Senate
to take up and pass the bill reported
from the committee appropriating
S75,O for the Government buildings at
Clarksburg, W. Va.
Atkinson's Hopes Blasted.
A prominent Republican from the
Kanawhs valley, told me this evening
that Atkinson had given up all hopes OF
being confirmed by the present Senate
as L. S. Marshal, and that he was now
directing his attention to Mentor with
the expectation OF being reappointed by
Garfield.
Sheriff Rossler,
OF Kanawha, will probably be nomina-
ted by the new President, and he VIII
be confirmed without opposition.
Judge Jackson, OF ParSersburg, ar
rived in the city to-day. j. +. b.

The Situation in Ireland


LONDON, Dec. 1.-The Times in a leading
article to-day says: From the resolution OF the
government in ard to thu meeting OF Parlia-
meDt We infer that hopes are entertained OF
rapid change in the aspect OF Irish affairs.
The Standards Dublin correspondent says:
II appears highly probably that in fortnight
hence hunting in Ireland will be entirely
stopped, and 100000 will be diverted into
other channels.
Mr. Hogan, farmer has been wounded by
bullet near Tipperary. He had paid his
rent
Mr.. Patrick Eagan has cabled to the Irish
National Convention at Chicago, urging it to
support the "no- rent" policy.
Dispatches from Boyle, county Roscommon,
say two hundred cattle on a grazing farm at
Carrowguil, have been mutilated.
A farmer living near Augharas, county
Leitrim, who paid rent, received twelve
wounds from an armed party last evening He
will probably die.
Trouble With the Telegraphic Cables.
The Times says: We understand that tire
government is prepared to entertain favorably
representations about TO be made respecting an
international agreement providing remedies
for the present unsatisfactory state of the tele-
era ohio system. Some of the cables to the
Continent have been broken for some time and
efforts made to repair them have failed, be-
cause of the fishing boats pursuing their avoca-
fions so as to impair repairing steamers and to
foul their gear. According 10 the present
state of international law there is no redress
for or means of prevention of such offences or
injury to cables, even if purposely committed.
Plan of Operations on the Panama Canal
PARIS, Dec. lat the recent meeting OF
the consultive commission of the Panama ca
nal the commission approved a plan for the
creation of temporary sheltered port at Colon
at a spot where maritime operations can be
carried on at all seasons. fFrom this port, and
as far fas ten kilometres inland, digging is
about TO be commenced with dredges and ex-
cavators The second great centre Of work will
be set up in the middle OF the Isthmus on the
summit of the Culebra, and lastly the earth
derived from this will serve to form great
bar at Ganiboa, which is to keep back the
waters of the Chagres.
The Political Situation in Germany.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-The News Berlin des-
patch says Prince Bismarcks frequent at
tempts to prove that the Liberal majority is
not the real voice of the country, and his de-
cided GOODNESS toward the Clericals, seem 10
show dissolution of the Reichstag probable.
BERLIN, Dec. AFTER yesterdays proceed
ings in the Rechstsg, doubt is no longer en-
tertained that Clerical and Conservative CO.
alition has been concluded.

BIG FRAUDS.
How the Tax Payers Of Philadel-
phia have been Swindled.
A REMINDER OF THE TWEED REG
IME IN NEW YORK.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. lin a report made to
day to the city council by Jno. Hunter, receiv-
er of taxes, it is stated that although the exam
nation of the books of his department is not
much more than commenced, and although the
examination has been retarded by the acting
collector of delinquent taxes, Mr.. j. Dono-
hugh, so much has been developed as to show
thar the city has been largely defrauded. He
cannot at IL is time estimate the amount due
the city but perhaps some OF 1t may be recov-
cred. The frauds are in remission OF penalties
in violation Of the ordinance of the city; pre-
sentation of bills TO tax payers for amount in
excess of actual assessment; presentation OF
bills and collection of taxes on property actu-
ally exempt; freud by raising the allowance Of
the board of revision. In one Ward alone the
board of revision allowed in the aggregate on
assessments over $40 600. This allowance was
raised to over 100000 Tax payers were cred
tied with proper allowance but false allowance
es were deducted from the returns made to the
city treasurer. In the same year the balancen
were forced
Moneys we're also retained from the city treas
ury for months and years after their payment.
Large amounts of tax on personal property
were paid by owners, but never paid into the
city treasury.
Other kinds of frauds have been discovered
but the receiver of taxes has not yet been able
to examine them carefully, such for instance as
the drawing of warrants for much larger
amounts than the sum due for the work per-
formed signing of fraudulent names to war
rants; making out bills of tax payers without
allowing proper discount, or charging an ex-
cess of penalty, in each case pocketing the ov-
ercharge The records of the department con-
tain no entry of payments of money at inter
est of the Girard Life Insurance & Trust Co.,
from 1872 TO 1876. During the year 1874 in one
Ward (IS) allowances made of money at inter-
est amounted to 5000, 1886; of this sum but
$40, 4l6 &c was allowed by the board of revis-
ion. The balance, $129,000, was increased by
clarks raising fiOurag rartifiad In nv the hoard
of revision of taxes. In order to accomplish
fraudulent entries there must have been collu-
sion between the tax receivers and controllers
departments and a system adopted by which
the treasury was annually robbed of thous-
ands of dollars. False allowances appear all
through from the entry of payment of taxes to
the taking off of the balance sheet.
The controller at the time referred TO was
Samuel p. Hancock, while the tax receiver
was Thomas j. Smith.
