United States treasurer in that city be
made to bear some mark of Identification;
that the gold received therefor be held to
redeem such certificates and no others;
that the assistant treasurer in charge be
supplied with reasonable amount of both
large and small certificates, and that the
different denominations be made inter
changeable. The acting secre-
tary replied that it is not
deemed expedient to place distinctive
marks on the current series of gold certlti-
Gates for the purpose of identifying them
as an issue of the Chicago Office; that such
mark would in his opinion lead to comph-
cations and tend to discredit these certifi-
Gates in other cities, where in the ordinary
course of circulation they might go. The
department, he says, is not at present pre-
pared to authorize the issue of distinct
i've series for Chicago alone, since that
would involve the question of separate
and distinct series for each sub-treasury.
If, however, the bankers of Chicago wish to
exchange one denomination of certificates
for another, and will so inform him, the
department, in view of existing cir
cumstances, will cause the Chicago Office
to be supplied with gold certificates of
smaller denominations, and authorize the
desired exchange.
EFFORT TO INDICT KELLOGG.
WASHINGTON, March 23.--It is expected
that the investigation by the grand jury of
the evidence concerning Brady, the star
route contractor, Price, and ex-senator
Kellogg, will be continued on Monday.
Last summer the former grand jury re-
turned an Indictment against Brady and
Price for conspiracy, but refused to indict
Kellogg. 1t is understood that an appli-
cation will now be made for the Indictment
of Kellogg based not alone upon the tes-
| timony of John A. Walsh, but also upon
that of Price and others. Ker, who pre-
sented the evidence to the grand jury yes
terday, holds that the prosecution will not
be barred by the statute of limitations, as
held by some lawyers interested in the de-
fense of the star route defendants.
PRICE GIVING THEM ALL AWAY.
1t is stated upon the authority of one
who has seen the document and whose
statements are believed to be trustwort thy,
that the mail contractor Jas. B. Price, has
! made an affidavit now in possession of the
government, wherein he alleges that on
Brady $4,000 in postal drafts together with
$1,000 in cash.
To corruptly influence Brady's official
action, he also alleged, it is said, that on
another occasion he gave ex-senator Kell-
ogg for similar purpose $4,000 in pos
tai drafts, drawn against his, Prices, pay
| as a mail contractor on the route from San
Antonio to Corpus Christi, and that in ad-
fn ho of of
| drafts, he also gave Senator Kellogg note
| for $1,000, all of which paper he deposes,
was paid at maturity.
LIFE SAVING CREWS.
Orders have been issued from the treas
ury department to superintendent of lake
| districts of the life saving service, direct
| ing them to instruct the keepers of the
| stations to enlist crews for the ensuing act
! i've season, which will extend from the
| opening to the close of navigation.
| CLAMORING FOR INCREASED SALARIES.
| The postofice department has already
received and filed for examination a large
| number Of claims OF postmasters who are
| entitled to increased salary under the pro
| visions OF the readjustment act, known as
| the ''Spaulding bIn," passed at the last
| session of congress. An attorney repre-
senting number OF those postmasters is
now in Washington and has made an in
| formal argument in their behalf at the
postofice department maintaining
that the increase of salaries provided
for by the act may properly be paid out oi
the regular appropriation for salaries fol
the current fiscal year. The officers of the
postofice department, however, assert thai
| the law providing for the readiustment Ot
postmasters' salaries cannot be carried intC
effect without a specific appropriation, anC
that to pay the amount of the increase O.
salaries out of the regular appropriation
the intention of the department to begin
the work of readiusting the salaries unde
the two-cent postage law, as provided TO
in the Bingham bill, as soon as possible.
