MISTAKE REcT1F1ED.
An error was made in the statement
furnished the press last night concerning
the plan for reorganizing the internal
revenue districts. In California the first
information from the department was to
the effect that the First and Fourth
districts of California and the district of
Nevada had been consolidated, whereas the
fact is the First district was left undisturb-
ed and Chancellor Hartzone retained as
collector, and the change made in Cali
fornia was the consolidation of the Fourth
with the district of Nevada, new district
to be known as the Fourth district of Cali
fornia, with Amos L. Frost as collector.
1t is ascertained to-day that the effect of
yesterdays executive order in regard to the
total number of collectors districts from
| 126 to so, reduction of 46 instead of A,
! as enormously announced at the treasury
department yesterday when the informa-
ton was furnished the press. All the
! changes made in the present system were
included, however, in the detailed state
ment telegraphed last night.
| The following statement shows the mum
! Der Of districts reduced in each state and
| territory: Alabama i, Nevada l, Connecti-
cut l, Georgia 1, Dakota /, Wyoming 1,
Arizona /, Pennsylvania I, Virginia 2,

| Iowa 1, Missouri 2, Minnesota l, West Vir-
ginia l, Maryland 1, mississippi New York

Idaho 1, Montana l. Total, 46.
| It is stated at the internal revenue bu-
reau that it is probable that the transfer
of officers cannot be effected before the 1st
of August.
An annual saving of 100000 will result
from the reduction.
NO MORE PAUPERS TO BE LANDED.
A regular cabinet meeting to-day was
attended by all the members except Sec
retary Frelinghuysen and Secretary Teller,
both of whom are out of the city. The
principal question considered was IN re-
lation to the alleged shipment of pauper
immigrants to this country from Ireland
by the British authorities. The result of
the deliberations on the subject was shown
by the subsequent action of the secretary
of the treasury, who telegraphed instruc-
tions to the collectors of customs in New
York to cooperate with the commissioners
of immigration at that port to prevent
the landing of all immigrants
found to be paupers within the
meaning of the law. In the
event such pauper immigrants may have
already landed as reported because of the
large number shipped in the steamship
Furnessia, the collector is instructed to
take all practicable means to have them
re-shipped to a port from whence they
| came.
| A KNOTTY QUESTION.
Upon the recommendation of the second
comptroller of the treasury, Secretary / OIL
ger has referred to the court of claims for
trial the case of Gen. Adam Badeau, United
States Army, retired, now consul general
at Havana. This case involves the
| question of right of a retired army
officer, employed in the consular
service, to receive pay for both offices. 1t
also involves the general question whether
the acceptance by a retired army officer of
a position in another branch of the gov
ernment is not equivalent to resignation
of his commission il the army.
| THE 0cH1LTREE MATTEF.
The solicitor of the treasury has still
under consideration offers of compromise

United States marshal of Texas. The
amount of judgment in the case is
| $4,000, and the amount offered in the
compromise is $500. The solicitor has re-
