December Garfield's Ant-POlygamy
Talk-COl. Rockwell to be Gentleman In
Waiting at the White HOuse-Secretary
Window COnceals His BOnd-Redeemine
Plans, If He Has Any.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Several Re
publican Senators, among whom are In
gals and Blair, think the Republicans
should stop with the committees and let
the Democrats hold the Senate offices un-
til December, unless an extra session be
called. The Democrats are united in the
determination to fight against present
change of officers Bayard, Hampton,
and several others who are advocating
the policy of general surrender, have
been overruled by tie voice of the eau
Gus, and the opinion now is that the Of
ficers will not be changed until Decem-
bsr, unless an extra session of Congress
is called.
The total values of exports of petro-
leum, and petroleum products, for the

is S22, ,939 1886: seven months ended, Jan

Governor Murray, of Utah, who has
been here sometime past, leaves for Salt
Lake City to night to resume his official
duties. 1t was learned to-day from
trustworthy sources that during recent
interview President Garfield assured Gov
Murray of his determination to use every
endeavor to suppress polygamy. 1t was
further learned that the President has de-
cided to renominate Gen. Bane, an anti
Mormon, to the position Of receiver of
public moneys at Salt Lake City.
An order was issued by the war depart
ment to-day detailing Col T. A. Rock
we'll as superintendent of public build
ings and grounds in charge Of the White
House and public reservations and parks.
Col. Rockwell was a classmate of PreSi-
dent Garfield at Williams college, and
they are warm personal friends. AS q
member of the Presidents household he
will make presentations at the White
House Col Casey will still retain super
vision of the new State buildings, the
Washington monument and Washington
aqueduct.
NEW YORK, March ia Washington
special to the Brooklyn Eagle: A dis
patch received here from Wall street says
it is reported there that the secretary of
the treasury will make large purchases of
bonds next Wednesday. The secretary
says there is not one word of truth in it.
He says: II don't say wont buy bonds
at some time, but can truthfully say
don't know when l will, nor to what
amount. Nothing has been decided about
that matter yet. In fact, much will de-
pend upon the question whether an extra
session is or is not called"
Another Washington special states that
First Assistant Postmaster General 4'yner
will go on the bench of the court of
claims and will be succeeded by Capt.
Henry, of Ohio.
Evidence Of the Condition of Gen. Upton's
Mind,
SAN FRANCISCO, March 19.-The theory
that the suicide OF Gen. Upton was the
result of an overtaxed brain seems to be
borne out by the following letter written
on the day preceding the night Of his
death, which was found among his pa
pers after the inquest at Presidio:
ttSan Francisco, March ID, 1sS1.-To the
Adjutant General Of the United States Army
Sir-I hereby tender my resignation as com
mander OF the Fourth artillery. Your obedi-
ent servant, E.. UPTON,
Colonel of Fourth Artillery
The theory seems to be held that this
was written with view to securing some
relief from work and more time for q re-
vision Of his tactics.
