tice at its meeting to-day:
In the judiciary division OF the First Comm
troller's office the accounts of commissioners
clerks, attorneys, marshals, ETC.. of the Fed
vouchers on file in the Registel.'s otlice will
furnish abundant evidence of the fact that for
years it has been the rule to make illepal
alloWahces 10 these officials through the Rirst
CompJfollers onee, either by design or
through ineXcusable ignorance Of the pIain
provisions OF the law. 1 assert that more than
9ne-half of the, accounts presented
OF these items are allowed. These
improper allowances will aggregate an enor-
nous sum. Convincing proof of the statempnt
can be found in the Gle rooms of the Register's
ohce, but these evidences can only be pro-
duced by some one well Informed concerning
tuc contents OF the DOCKS ana the location of
the vouchers. When investigations of these
matters have been attempted only the papers
asked for by resolution have been exhibited.
Mr.. Barker was present, and offered an
explanation OF his charges. He said that
he was appointed to a position in the
Treasury Department May IL, 1888. and
was assigned by request of Judge Law
renee. the First Comptroller, TO his bureau.

COMPLAINTS DISREGARDED.
Directly after going in l thought l discov-
ed that the statutes were being violated IN
reference to certain allowances. / called the
attention of the acting chief of the judiciary
division to what / thought were Illegal allow
ances of per diem, and / also brought the mat
ter to the attention of the Comptroller. He
SAID he had written a decision on this same
subject. told him that his decision had not
reached the fourth door of his office.
Mr.. Barker gave a number of instances
OF what he termed S'illegaI payments,''
and said that they were a few out Of
many instances of such payments. Re-
ferring to the First Comptroller Mr..
Barker SAID:
believe Judge Lawrence to be honest but
he is so entirely engaged IN the protection of
his decisions that he has not time to attend to
the details of his Office.
He directed the Chairman to appoint a
subcommittee to investigate the matters
referred to by Mr.. Barker in his letter,
and in his explanatory statement. The
subcommittee will be appointed next
week.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-For the purpose
of guarding against any accident or fraud
the duplicates of the electoral returns
which are according to law forwarded to
the President of the Senate, are being sent
to the Speaker of the House. The idea is
understood to have been suggested by
members of the Democratic National
Committee, who were apprehensive lest
the returns might be tampered with after
they go into the hands of the Republican
Senate. The blank forms were gotten up
in New York and sent to the various cleo
tors. The duplicates could not be ac-
cepted as legal returns in case the Origi-
nal should be destroyed, but they would
serve as evidence sufficiently strong to
satisfy the popular sentiment and sustain
the Democrats against any attempted

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Dec. 5.-Attorney
General James Mccartney, the defeated
Republican candidate for Congress from
the Sixteenth district, has filed notice of
a contest of Mr.. Landess' seat. He
charges Mr.. Landess and his agents
with bribery throughout the dis
trict. He also charges that fraudulent
returns were made in several counties,
that the votes cast for Congressman at
large were counted for Mr.. Landess, that
the polls in the precinct were opened two
hours before the appointed time, that bal
lot boxes were removed from the polling
places and that changes in the returns
were made whereby MIR. Landess was
credited with 1,500 votes more than he
was entitled to. 1t is said that although
Mr.. Mccartney as member of the State
canvassing board refused to sign the GER
tifcate of Mr.. Landess' election, it is
thought to be merely on the account of
personal feeling, and that he made no
