WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

WASHINGTON, November 10.-A
decision of First Auditor Reynolds
and First Comptroller Lawrence that ser
vice to the government cannot properly be
paid for in advance, was rendered to an
swer the request OF the attorneys engaged
in the prosecution of the Star route cases
for retainers, for all these attorneys, it is
said, made the demand for part of their
pay.
1t is said that President Arthur's new
Cabinet was agreed upon during his recent
visit to New York and win be composed
entirely of Grant men. Blaine, Hunt,
MacVeagh. and perhaps Lincoln are to re-
tire. Grant is said to be disposing of
available places in the diplomatic service
presumably for the advancement of his
own ends in the future.
Secretary Windows refunding opera
tions are entirely completed, the few re-
manning suspended cases having been dis
posed Of The total of bonds continued at
81 per cent is 579, 560,05O, and the total
cost to the government about 10000,
nearly 5000 being for paper and
printing bonds and for all other ex-
penses including the cost of making ex-
changes of about 400. This makes the
expense of continuing each million dollars
of bonds about 1871. Mr.. Window says
his refunding operations result In much
greater saving to the government tina
would have been affected by the refunding
measures Of the last congress for the fol-
lowing reasons The bill passed by cuel
gress appropriated one quarter of gnepnr-
cent. for expenses refunding. which wodo
have amounted to 44s,900 as against less
than 10000 dollars by his plan. As part
of the refunding measures of congress, and
| in order to induce banks to accept three
per cent. bonds, a bill passed the senate
unanimously repeating the tax on bank
deposits which would have reduced the
annual revenues of the government 1859,
| 1876 as shown by the receipts OF 1880. The
House committee on Ways and Means OF
the last congress for like reasons reported
favorably q bill repeating the tax on bank
| deposits and also the two cent stamp tax or
| bank checks, drafts and orders amounting
| in the aggregate to 9,776, $50. This sun
added to one quarter per cent for expenses
| of the three per cent refunding measure
amounts to 1O,I25, 599 The difference be
tween the 81 and the 3 per cent bonds or
| the entire amount of bonds refunded is 2,
S97, $50 per annum, which deducted from
the total of 10, 126, 500 as above stated
show an advantage to the government fol

operations Another advantage of thi:
measure oyer that proposed by congress i
that the loan Is payable at the discretion
of the government, and hence may be pait

and freight train No. 12, going east, col

full of oil, property of the Union Tank
line, which were completely destroyed.
Daniel English, brakeman on No. IL, was

4 TOWN RURNED.

ST. JOHN, N. b., Nov. 11.--A fire broke
out in Woodstock at midnight 1t caught
in the Institute buildings and is supposed
to be the work of incendary. A high wine
prevailing, all efforts to stop the progress
of the flames were unavaiing The Wes-
tern Union telegraph Office both in the
depot and regular office destroyed and I'M
possible to get particulars. At one O'Clock
the operator in the depot Office told the
operator at st. John, "the flames are com
ing down on me and must GO" A few
minutes afterwards the circuit was discov.
cred open and it is presumable the station
building has gone. At a. m. the opera
tor in the general office said the upper half
of the town is gone and part of the lower.
Flames are all around me and getting too
hot to stay any longer. Expect the office
to catch at any moment. DIR. Smiths res
idence has gone. Free Baptist church
burned and Registry Office in flames.
Efforts are being made to save the new
hotel, but it now is in great danger. If
the hotel goes it win be difficult to save the
town. These are the last particulars that
reached st. John. 1t is feared there has
been lives lost. Woodstock is on the ST.
John river and is shiretown of Carleton
county, it contained over one hundred
stores, had large hotel, several founder
les and factories and population of four
or FIVE thousand.
