Made-Appointments Confirmed, Etc.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-secretary Sherman
is credited with having stated that at the ear
liest opportunity he will offer resolution in
the senate with view of bringing out for
public inspection the preliminary report OF
the special committee which recently made
partial investigation of the office OF the GUS
todan of the treasury department. The re-
port in question is known to be confined ex-
clusively to affairs of the custodian's Office,
and no other officers of the department arere-
ferred to as being in any. manner identified
with the transactions of that bureau. Cen
tlemen who have read the report are authority
for the statement that the main feature of the
document is that the person acting in the ca.
pacity of custodian was not 80 authorized by
law.
EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS.
The president has sent the following NOM
nations to the senate: Capt. John G.. Walker,
of Iowa, chief of the bureau of navigation,
navy department.; William @. Raum, of Mis-
sissippi, as marshal of the southern district Of
Mississippi; Charles N. Webber, register of
the land Office, Deadwood, Dakota.
CONFIRMED.
The senate confirmed Walker Blaine third
assistant secretury of state and number of
United States consuls and postmasters.
Proceedings'of of the Senate.
In the senate the resolution offered yester.
day by Lamar relative to the Interoceanic
canal, was adopted, as was also the resolution
offered by Edmunds, directing the judiciary
committee to inquire whether the proceedings
for the extradition of Venerzo (Exposito) Re-
bello had been in accordance with the law.
The resolution offered by Sherman calling
on the secretary of the treasury for report
of j. T. Melene, was laid over one day. The
senate then went into executive session.
Sherman furnished the notable incident of
the session by calling for the report made to
Secretary Window by the committe of treasu-
~ officials appointed to investigate the
charges against Custodian Pitney, which re-
port has been persistently kept from publica-
ton by Window. Sherman had read Wash,
ington dispatch published in the Commercial
Advertiser of New York yesterday, alleging
that Window refused to publish 1t because
money had been abstracted from the contin-
gent fund of the treasury to aid Sherman's
candidacy.
