DETECTIVE DEVELOPMENTS.

Some Very Damaging Testimony Taken
Yesterday, and There's More Coming.
The investigation of the charges against
the detectives was continued yesterday by
Commissioner West, who in the forenoon
visited Mr.. w. w. Corcoran and took his depo-
sition in reference to the case mentioned in
The REPUBLICAN yesterday. Laterin the day
Mr.. Pearsell the cashier of the Citizens Ma
tional bank, visited tho Columbia building
and had am interview with Commissioner West
He was not examined, but the following facts
have been known TO THE REPUBLICAN for
sometime and il is probable that they formed
the subject of conversation:
Sometime before the the Magruder forgery
cases Monroe, alias Brockway, had kept an
account at the Citizens National bank, and
when he and his four associates were arrested
in the Magruder case Detective McDevitt
went TO the bank and obtained all the checks
against his account, giving his receipt there
for.
THESE CHICKS HAVE NEVER BEEN RETURNED
to the bank, although frequent requests for
them have been made. The inference is that
some of them were in favor of the parties
against whom charges of corruption and COM
pliCity with thieves are now made, and that it
was desirable to get them out Of tho way.
There has been no memorandum No. sent
to the commissioners by the citizens commit
tre and it Is not improbable that all the doc
umCntary information which tho committee
or its chairman has received will be transmit
ted at one time to the commissioners. The
committee will, however, aid the commission
ers In their investigation in every way in
their power That their efforts are appre-
ciated is evidenced by the results of the inves-
tigation thus far, and by letter sent by
DISTRICT ATTORNEY coRKHILL
in which he says at will afford me pleasure
to heartily cooperate with you in carrying
out any wishes you may express in the mat
ter you are investigating, and hope you may
feel perfectly free to call upon me at any time
in that connection"
Mr.. j. w, Thompson, the chairman of the
committee, yesterday afternoon visited the
Jail and had another interview with OLeary
and Murphy, who gave him additional in
formation in regard to some of the cases
which the committee has already obtained
the evidence upon, and also some new cases
of addition, division, and silence" on the
part of the detectives and criminals.
AS has been stated in The REPUBLICAN
there is feeling of decided trepidation per-
meating the entire police force at present,
and every one, whether officer or private, who
has been at any time connected with any
crooked work is quaking for fear
of sudden and summary removal; for it is
safe to say that the evidence obtained in the
investigation covers good deal of ground.
A REPUBLICAN reporter asked Commissioners
West If there was any intentions to make any
IMMEDIATE REMOVALS.
"Not at ALL" was tho reply. "The ques-
tion of summary removal under the recent
opinion of the attorney general has not been
discussed, and l know that no one has been
selected for removal as yet"

A Curious Story OF Flour Contract In the
Indian Bureau.

A Curious Story OF Flour Contract In the
Indian Bureau.
Senator Plumb is reported as having made
the following statement to q correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Commercial: An Indian
agent in Kansas recently contracted with
Commissioner Price to deliver 1000 barrels of
-four at Los Pinos Cole reservation for $3.50 a
barrel Before the time arrived the con-
tractor was told to deliver the produce at
Salt Lake, Utah. The added cost of trans
portation increased the amount to S12 bar
rel. But the agent was wiser that the COM
missioner. He only delivered it nominally,
knowing that he could buy all he wanted in
Salt Lake for $3.50. He was now told to deliver
it to the White River Utes, whose reservation
is two hundred miles in the south of the val
Icy. The further you go down the valley the
more productive is the soil and the cheaper
arc all cereals. The agent therefore pur-
chased the flour fifty miles away from the
reservations at $3.50 barrel, adding on as be-
fore the cost of transportation from Salt Lake,
and for this -four, which cost the agent not SO
u barrel to deliver, the government paid $l4
a barrel. In other words, we paid $4,000 for
1000 barrels of -four delivered at that agency
which could have been put down there for
$4,000 if any judgment whatever had been
used in the Indian bureau at Washington"

On motion of Mr.. Rosecmns, of California,
a bill was passed authorizing the payment to

The house then at 1920 went in commit
tee of the whole (Alr Townsend, of Ohio, in
tho chair) on
THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL.
Mr.. Butterworth offered an amendment
constituting more clearly the law passed at the
last session, relieving from the charge of de-
sertion soldiers known as technical deserters.
The amendment extends the provisions of the
law to men who served for six months, and
strikes out the words "who Intentionally
deserted"
Mr.. Butterworth explained that the reten.
tion of those words precluded any possibility
of distinguishing between soldiers who We're
absent without leave and those who left the
army with the intention of deserting the
iag.
Mr. Blackburn warned the house that this
proposition would operate as a complete revo-
luton of the present law on the subject of
desertiOn, IL would operate as q second edi-
tion ofarrears Of pension act, and would send,
in the discretion of the Interior department
20 the pension roll every unworthy desert.
lug soldier from the federal army list.
Mr.. Springer contended that the amend
ment did not relieve any one who ought not
TO be relieved.
Mr. O'Neill suggested that the provision OF
The law should be extended TO sailors aud
marines; but Mr.. Butterworth declined al
this time to draft such an amendment.
MIR Butterworths amendment was finally
ruled out on point Of order.

Possible Exhaustion of Our AnthrncIt,
Coal.

Cleveland Leader.
The probability Of the exhaustion of the
anthracite coal supply Of the United States
Is beginning to attract attention in the east
The alarm is based upon the great and rapidly
increasing consumption, the limited area of
the anthracite deposit, and the wastoful
methods Of mining now employed. Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, and Virginia are the
only states which produce anthracite coal, and
in the two latter states the supply is quito
limited. There are four anthracite fields in
Pennsylvania, covering an aggregate area of4s3
square miles, Expert engineers who have been
specially employed for the work estimate that
these fields will yield less than three billion
tons. There have been taken from these
fields during the year just closed 29,500,000
tons. The demand for this kind of coal Is on
the increase, and it is calculated that the
amount taken out in future years will, there
fore, be still greater. If these calculations
are correct, the supply will be entirely ex-
hausted within hundred years. The impor-
tant part that anthracite coal has performed in
the development of the resources of the coun-
try, and the present great demand for il by the
manufacturing industries, and as a fuel, make
the prospect of the supply giving out within
century an unpleasant topic to contemplate
ltmay be said that our supply of bituminous
coal is apparently ineXhaustible, aud that 1t
can be made to take the place of anthracite
This is true in a measure, but not entirely so
The density and great heating power Of an
thracite make it the best of all fuels for metal
lurgic purposes, while its freedom from smoke
especially commends it for combustion. Our
iron and steel industries could never have
reached their present proportions but for an
thIacite, and the exhaustion of the supply of
hard coal would materially affect the pros
perity of the country, unless in the mean
time, our yankee genius provides a substitute,
u contingency too remote TO be depended upon
1t is therefore Of the utmost Importance that
our anthracite resources be husbanded with
the greatest care, 1t is not probable that the
demand will be decreased by the prospect of a
future failure of the supply. A great saving
might beafeoted, however, by the employment
of more economical methods of mining The
process employed in Pennsylvania is what Is
known as "pillar and breast" mining, and is
very wasteful, the vein being imperfectly
worked and much Of the product lost. II Is
impossible to estimate exactly tho amount
wasted in this way, but il may be safely placed
at fifteen or twenty per cent. OF the yield un.
der more improved on systematic processes
