Gus things are constantly happening. Only a
little over week ago the Custodian of the
Bureau, Bell, was dismissed for csrelessress,
in leaving two important dies outside the safe
when the closing-up time came. Now, since
Bell is out, he refuses to talk about his case,
and adds to the mystery of his dismissal, ap-
parently being very well satisfied with his
disgrace. Upon the heels of this comes the
mysterious poisoning of Brooks, the Chief of
the Secret Service. One day during last
week he was violently i'll, and so were num-
Der of the members of his family. Examina-
ton showed that arsenic was in the bsef
tongue eaten by the family. Why should
Brooks be poisoned at a time when
rumors are plenty at the Treasury
that the counterfeiters hold enough
Stock in reserve to dictate their own
terms, and while rumors of other counter
felt issues from the Government transfer
work are heard constantly in official circles
In all this medley of mystery and intrigue,
the case Of Doyle at Chicago is made to look
very small. Whether he gets out or Lot, is
not now regarded as Of much consequence, if
the Government can really get at the bottom
of the affair. One thing is certain, the Treas
ury people will not be able to go on much
further without attracting the attention of
Congress. If it were not so near the close of
the session, when SO many interests are press
ing to the front, resolution of inquiry would
have been introduced and pushed for consid-

1t is belle we'd that this week the Treasury
people will order Brockway and Smythe re-

concentrated upon the Treasury investigation
of the alleged facts submitted in the interest
of Doyle. The stories are 8 fl pat of about $685.

Reminiscence OF COnkIine's Resignation.
WASHINGTON, June 5th.-If any human
being has any doubt that Conkling resigned
with distinct intention of being reelected,
there is a bit of circumstantial evidence on
the subject which Conkling might call out by
addressing another letter to Senator Jones.
The Senator said il was legend of the Sem
ate. accepted on all sides, that when Cameron
of Wisconsin took Copkling's seat, which he
now occupies, it was after consultation with
Senator Jones and the agreement that in case
of Conkling's return he should have the seat
again.
