INFORMATION ABOUT AMERICA IN
GERMANY. Y.-Mrs. James 7. Briscoe, Sec
retary of State of Maryland, has re-
ceived letter from Carl Lautenschla-
ger, Stuttgart, Germany, announcing
that an American public library has
been established in that city for free use
throughout Germany. The library is
designed to communicate a correct and
useful knowledge respecting America.
1t is constituted mainly by voluntary
contributions of books and State publ
cations. Only few States of the Ameri-
can Union have not yet placed their pub
lications in the library. The institution
serves the student to enrich his knowl
edge of the United States, and at the
same time is a most reliable agency in
Germany for the States to bring all their
advantages and resources to the knowl-
edge of capital, enterprise and immigra-
tion.

method of conducting the Treasury in.

tlon. Inspired by Senator Davis of
west Virginia, whose hobby for past
years have been to carefully slit the ex.
pense account, the Democratic members
OF the committee advanced various
propositions and plans for the conduct
OF the examination, more especially with
reference to a complete disclosure of the
manipulations of the alleged Treasury
ring. They advocated a public investi-
CATION and the sendinp for
persons and papers with view
to thorough examination
The Republican members were
not inclined to meet such a syeening

General Grnnt,s InfIuence.

Washington Special to the Phila. Press. 18Th
The abrupt decision of Postmaster
General James to leave the Cabinet has
revived the speculation as to whom his
successor will be. Chauncy J. FilleY, of
ST. Louis. has for a long time been the
most active applicant for the position,
and all the Influence ne could bring TO
bear has been mustered in support of his
claims. Until recently it was supposed
that General Grant vas backing him, and
upon that suppOsitiOn many people be-
lieved be would win. Recently, how
ever. the report comes from New York
that General Grant has abandoned the
cause of Mr.. Filley, and desired to see
ex- Senator Chaffee secure the place. 1t
is said that Mr. Filley's relations with
eX Senator Dorsey, of star route fame,
have been very intimate, and coupled
with his assoc 5atiOus with people dis
tasteful to Gen. Grant, has combined TO
lose for him the support of the ex Presi-
dent. 1t is averred that the failure of
the President to nominate an At OrneY
General at the time Mr. Frelinghuysen's
name was sent TO the Senate was due to
the unexpected resignation of Mr.. James.
The star route organs here appa-
rently believe that BeDjlmin Harris
Brewster is the coming man. for they
are abusing him with fervOr. This abuse
affords an argument in Mr.. Brewsters
favor stronger than any other which
could be advanced. a visit paid by
Secretary Blaine and William E. Chand-
Ter TO the White House this morning
gave rise 70 the report that a conference
was being held relative to the selection
Of a Cabinet officer from the New Eng
land States. If that section is given
Cabinet position it will probably be
either in the person of Governor Bout
well or William B. Chandler. The
former desires to go on the Supreme
bench if he can secure the appointment.
Rumor assigns the Navy Department to
New England. but some of Mr.. Chand-
ler's friends assert that be has prospect

There are those who sneer at the sa.
gacity of the Louisville Newfoundland
dog that would not touch the thief. but
attacked the thief's pursuer. Neverthe-
less the beast was sagacious. Its action
accords with the spirit of the times and
the voice of the courts. Every well-bred
dog knows that the criminal classes are
now on top, and no such animal is going
to waste its time in enterprises that come
TO nothing. Let all honest men look to
the seats of their breeches and "beware
of the dog"

rived in the city yesterday for the ostensi.

for Mr.. Cook and told him that
he must throw aside all other busi-
ness and devote himself exclusively to
the work of collecting the evidence and
arranging for the prosecution of all those
persons concerned in the star route

structions of the President that Mr.. Cook
came to the city at this time. The real
purpose of his visit was easily concealed

made speech, but as soon as the pro-
ceedings concluded he called upon Mr..
Brewster TO consult as to the best plans
of going ahead with the case. The con.
ference between ths two lawyers was ~
finished at midnight, As result Of this bis
meeting some ne" developments NAV be
