More " Shortages"
WASHINGTON, June 19th.-The discovery of the
shortage of $4,000 in the accounts of Colonel
J. O. p. Burnside, late Discussing Officer of the
Postoflice Department, is followed by the dis
misSal of Cole, Discussing Clerk of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing, whose accounts are
said to be short s., 900, and the discovery of
deficit of about $4,000 in the accounts of the
late Robert c. Morgan, Discussing Officer and
Chief of the Bureau of Accounts in the State
Department. Burnside lost his money by giving
it to an adventurer named Lewis, to speculate
i'll Oil Coles troubles arose from the fact that
he advanced money on checks that were per
tectly good to certain employees of the bureau.
No loss will be sustained by the Government from
him, and as he has simply followed the common
practice of DisburSing Officers of advancing
money upon good security to employees of the
Government, his summary removal is regarded
as a severe punishment. Morgan Discussing
Officer of the State Department, died about two
months ago, and Irregularities in his accounts
were soon after discovered, but the news of the
deficit was suppressed in the hope that his
relatives might make the amount good. AS
they have not done so, his bondsmen, Charles
f. Whitehead. Charles RuggleS. Of New York.
and Albert r. Bass, of Boston, have been called
upon 10 make good the shortage Morgan had

the State Department believe that the deficiency
in his accounts arose not from misapprOpria-
ton of the funds, but that it must have been
caused by an error, or his long illness and in
