CAPITAL NOTES.

order of the president, consolidating the
internal revenue districts, much additional
work will have to be performed in certain
divisions of the treasury department. New
appointments will have to be made out for
every collector who is retained in the SER
vice in whose district the slightest change
has been made, and they will be required
to have their old bonds renewed. This
routine work is occupying the entire atten-
ton of the department division, and when
the bonds begin to CONS in the solicitors
office will also have its hands full.

president made the changes to suit him.

fair is that the most true, faithful and old
est Republican Office holders were consoG-
dated out. 1t is also strange that so
large a majority of them should be by
chance members of the half breed faction
in the party.
EVANS RIDICULosITY.
The unique and amusing Commissioner
Evans continues to give the adminlstra-
ton much anxiety. He has done nothing
seriously offensive to the Republican ideas
by turning out several Office holders and
putting in new squad of Republicans,
but he is so indiscreet, ridiculous and
bombastic in his talk regarding his official
doings that he keeps the president and
cabinet on needles and pins. Postmaster
General Gresham and Secretary Chandler
have been giving him some instructions
in political diplomacy. but their pupil Is
intractable The tone of his conversation
and the general makeup of the commits
sioner are we'll illus trated by the favorite
phrase, chats the kind Of man am
His friends think the president, Chandler
and Gresham will, by skillful handling,
keep him within the traces hereafter.
horizons CASE.
Commissioner Evans has determined to
have a thorough investigation of the
charges made by Mr.. Carter, of Boston,
against the official integrity Of G. NJ. Hor-
ton, who was recently appointed special
revenue agent. In a letter to Collector
Slack, of Boston to-day, Commissioner
Evans said "You are directed to investi-
gate forthwith the statement made by Mr.
Carter and report the exact facts to this
Office at the earliest moment possible
Should you become satisfied in the course
of your Investigations that there are rea-
sonoble grounds to believe that neither
Mr.. Horton or Mr.. Carter has violated
any law of the United States in
the premises, you will please report
the facts to the United States attorney for
the district of Boston for his action, and
inform him that the original letter of Mr.
Carter will be furnished to him should he
desire it.
In letter to Mr.. Horton to-day Com
missioner Evans says: You will report to
Collector Slack your readiness to proceed
with the investigation. The very bottom
ofthis affair must be reached before you
go on duty.
STAR ROUTE JUROR.
John H. Vernon, the member of the re-
cent star route jury who had delirium tre-
mems in court during the trial, was in
the police court this morning for using
rude and indecent remarks to Mrs. Gold
smith Mrs. Goldsmith said that her
children and those of the defendants had
some trouble, and Mr.. Vernon called her a
number of indecent names. The defend
ants witnesses stated that Mrs. G. called
defendant rum and brandy sucker, ano
that he then called her names. He was
fined so, and the court threatened to put

THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.
Senator Malone has summoned all hi:
county chairmen to meet him in Richmond
in conference soon, probably in a day o.
two, to arrange for the approaching cam
