Special to the indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 11-Gentlemen occupying
The positions of collectors of internal revenue
would do well to hold themselves in readiness to
v~acate-that is, those whose districts are within
customs districts. Secretary McCulloeh has
recommended to Congress the consolidation of
customs and internal revenue Offices. the former
assuming all the duties of the latter. OF course,
in districts where there are no customs Offices,
the internal revenue men will be continued, or
rather their Offices win, as now. But it is the
design to telescope as many Of these Offices as
possible, and in the consultations to so reor.
ganize the districts of customs collectors that
only about one internal revenue officer in five
will be maintained.
1t will be remembered that Secretary Folger
made this recommendation a year ago. He said
the expense Of collecting internal revenue could
be reduced to 10 per cent. its present cost by the
consolidation, and the machinery Of government
would be simplifed by it. He strongly advocat-
cd it. The proposition is generally Endorsed,
and it is given out at the Senate judiciary room
that the provision for consolidation will be in
corporated in an appropriation bill, and passed
at this session.

THE SPANISH TREATY.
The Cigar Manufacturer Will Lobby Against
Its Ratification.

lis AN1lAiAEAAAOAis
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Cigar manufacturers
of New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, Va, and
some other large obacco-eonsuming cities, have
given notice to their delegations in Congress that
when the consideration of the Spanish treaty is
up they propose coming here to be heard on the
subject. They want to enter a vigorous protest
against the ratification of it. Some of them are
already here, waiting for the measure.
at would ruin our business, said one of them
to-day to the Journal correspondent. 1.-THE
treaty" he continued, provides that we shall
nav seventeen and one-half for Cuba leaf or Cuba
manufactured tobacco, while we may export our
tobacco to Cuba for one and one-half cents a
pound. You see instantly that it gives the
Cuban manufacturer the advantage of sixteen
cents a pound. We could not stand that. 1t
would enable Cuba to put her eigarson the Amer
lean marketfor less than we could furnish them,
Jess just the difference between the wages
here and in Havana. and that is a
good deal. They could get our tobacco, put it
into their cigars, with an Havana wrapper, and
send them over to us at 20 per cent. less than we
now furnish them. The observation-disclosures
will combine against that clause, at least. If We
are to have a trade on tobacco we must compel
Spanish manufacturers to pay more duty on
their goods
A great deal Of annoyance to congressman
and senator's is being experienced on account of
the treaty. In very many respects it assemblies
the reform of the tariff. In the petition-oaskets
Of the House to-day there were memorials
signed by at least 10000 cigar-makers against
ratification of the treaty. They represent in
terse language that the treaty would almost
ruin their trade, by enabling the Cuban manu-
f%acturers to import our tobacco, use it as filing
for their H~avanas, and re-ship it here cheaper
than our mechanics will make the goods. In
other words, the situation resolves itself back to
the protection of an industry, like the tariff pro-
tnnts

The Retirement of General Grant.

LAFAYETTE sunday Times.
The bill offered by Senator Mitchell, of Penn
sylvania, to give General Grant a pension of So,
600 per annum, is ill-timed and not a proper
recognition of his services. General Grant has
held the highest military rank known in the
American army; he is honored as a soldier
throughout the world. 1t would be unjust to ac-
cord General Grant less consideration than was
shown General Sherman, and his refusal to &C
cept the pension proposed will be justified and
approved by the American people. 1t is to
be regretted that action upon this measure
has been so tardy and that General Grant
has been insulted by the proposed grant of a
pension not even commensurate with his rank
as a soldier or his merits as the commander of
the grandest army that has made the military
annals of modern times brilliant with It's
achievements.
The Democrats of the House have the power,
and the Times believes it is their duty to pass
the bill to place General Grant on the retired
list, with the rank and pay of general. 1t would
be n peculiarly graceful act, creditable to them
selves, to the party and to the recipient OF the
honor. It is the duty of the Nation to make
provision for the gallant soldier whose brill
liant military career has shed luster upon
American arms. If the Democrats in the
House fail to take up the pending bill and speedily
pass it, they will incur the censure OF the whole
country, and deservedly so, too. Political differ
ences should have no influence upon the action of
members of the House. They cannot afford to
make it a political question.
General Grants record IS a part of the history
of the country. 1t was made during the perllous
years of war through which the Nation passed.
1t was made while Republican institutions were
undergoing the severest test. The part he bore
in their preservation entities him to the highest
consideration and it is fitting that the Demo-
Gratis in the House should, by their votes. accord
him the honor which the Republicans conferred
upon his less distinguished comrade in arms.

frozen and the valves refused to work. The
family were not the first to discover the fire, and
a quantity of clothing was consumed some of
the occupants barely escaping with their night

Sketch OF the Life and Services of an Officer
Who Committed Suicide.

hO OoAuinALLtQ GhASluCs
Providence Or. L. Journal.
Commander S. Dana Greene, whose suicide at
the Maynard was reported yester-
day, was born in Maryland, and came to Rhode
Island in early youth. He was appointed to the
Naval Academy from this State on Sept 81. 1855.
and graduated in 1853. He was attached to the
steam sloop Hartford, of the East Indian squad
ron. from 1859 to 1861, and received his commits
sion as lieutenant on Aug. 81, 1861. He was also
first officer of the Monitor under Commander
Worden, and in the engagement with the rebel
ram Merrimac in Hampton Roads, on the 9th
of March, 1862, he displayed remarkable ability
and bravery. Commander WorGen was disabled
early in the fight by a shot whic" struck the
turret, and Lieut.. Greene continued the battle
with such spirit that the Merrimaek was forced
to withdraw. Commander Greene remained in
the Monitor until she was lost, and took part in
the engagement at Sewelfs Point, in May, 1862,
and at Fort Darling, on the James river, May Is,
of the same year. He was attached to the steam
er Florida in 1868, ard to the ~IroGuois on special
service in 1864-65. He was commissioned Lieut..
Commander on August II, 1865. and in 1868
was attached to the Naval Academy and was af-
forwards with the North Pacific squadron until
1863. In 1872 he was commissioned a command
er, and since that time has commanded the
ships-of-war Juniata and Monongahela. From
1877 to 1881 he was attached to the Naval Academy
as senior aid to the superintendent, and after
that, until April last. was in charge of the gov
eminent steamer Dispatch. Last spring he was
relieved from this duty and ordered to the navy

Commander Greene was a naval officer Of
great ability, a splendid tactician and a
strict disciplinarian, and since he entered the
navy he had more than thirteen years actual
sea service. during which he visited many of tho
most important polt is of the world. His first
wife was Mary Willis Derfe, Of Bristol, and
three children blessed the union. Mrs. Greene
died a number of years ago, and about FIVE
years since he married Mary A.. Babbitt, daugh-
ter of Maj. Babbitt, of Bristol. Commander
Greene was held in the highest esteem by all
who knew him, and his friends here could give
no explanation of the cause of his suicide,
though all of them expressed sorrow and regret
on learning of his untimely end. The engage
ment between the Monitor and Merrimack, in
which he played such a prominent part, and
during which he displayed such bravery and
ability, was the source of much trouble to him
for the reason that he thought that his services
on that occasion did not receive proper ~reeogni-
ton. 1t is possible that this may, in some
measure, have brought about that depression
which finally led him to take his own life. Com

Further Testimony Concerning His Pre-Eln-

WASHINGTON, Dec. H.-Mr. Coon, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, was called to-day
by j. }. Barker, as a witness before the sub
committee investigating the alleged irreguiari-
ties in the Office of the First Comptroller of the
Treasury. In announcing his residence Mr..
Coon said ne was living in Washington very
temporarily" Mr.. Coon said the resignation of
Barker was solicited because the latter owed a
number of board and wash bills. He had not
heard of the fraudulent Florida claim for SIG,
500 when the resignation was offered, or he
would not have accepted it. The Florida claim
was afterwards considered by Secretary
Gresham, and he thought Barker guilty of the
forgery.
j. N. Day, a witness called by Judge Law
renee, said he believed Barker wrote the fraudu-
lent claim.
Didn't you say that if I came into your room
you would throw me out the Window asked
Barker.
"No, sir; I said you was a scouudrel, a beat,
and a liar, and if you spoke to me | would knock
you down. You went through the corridors tell
ing clerks you would use your influence to retain
them in positions"
Representative Milliken remarked that Mr..
Barker was mot making up the next admins
tration."
At this Barker became impudent and insult,
ing, and the committee concluded they had heard
enough concerning his character.
Barker made a long statement denying that he
had anything to do with the fraudulent Florida
claim. In order to show, as he said, that people
had confidence in him, he stated he had made
a Virginia wagon track in Southwestern Kansas
that he was first vestryman in an Episcopal
church, and had contributed literally to various
churches in Kansas. The committee adjourned

will be prepared and submitted after the hoh-

Secretary Lincoln Does Not Suspect Lieut..
Greedy of Being an Accomplish, but.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IL Secretary Lincoln
said to a Star reporter to-day that the recent
publication made it useless for him to continue,
at present, the search for Howgate, and he be-
lieved they were made in the interest of that de-
faulting officer.
'Tt is intimately suggested the reporter,
that Lieutenant Greedy was an accomplish of
Howgate."
Il have had no such suspicious in the matter, +"
replied the Secretary, "but Lieutenant Greedy
was unfortunate in allowing his own name to be
used as giving out information which was
rendered useless by being published,
and if he is correctly reported in
making the remark as to his friendship for, and
willingness to assist Howgate, which implied he
regarded him as an unfortunate man, rather
than an escaped criminal, L say that was un-
FORUM te in that it tends to give color to the
friendship felt for, and aid rendered Howgate by
persons formerly with him in the signal service.

Washington Letter.
Not long since the Secretary Of the Navy con-
Guided it would simplify matters and render the
discharge of public business more expeditions to
connect his own office with that of the different
bureau chiefs in his department. by a system of
electric eallbells I happened to be in the
office of one of these chiefs when the young
mechanic intrusted with carrying out the Sec
retary's wishes entered the room and in a quiet
and inoffensive manner asked where he should
place the apparatus.
Where shall you put it3' roared the great
man, the color mounting to his face and his hand
unconseiously graspinga paper weight on the
desk; put it i'll -, where it belongs. Great
Scott, a nice idea that an admiral of the United
States navy should be rung up and down by a
-, ahem, civilian secretary, like any common
clock" L thought it prudent to withdraw at
this critical moment, and it was not until
yesterday that [ ventured to call again
to finish the conversation so unexpected
ly interrupted. Imagine, then, my surprise
when in the midst of an animated discussion L
heard a bell ring, and saw the great man rise
meekly, and, with just a trifie of a sheepish look
on his counteuauce, go in the direction of the
Secretary's Office. That little apparatus had evi-
IDENTIFY not been put in where my friend ordered
it, but in the admiral's Office, just where Mr..
Chandler wanted it The Secretary's hand in the
management of his department is the iron one
in a velvet glove.
