AN END.

Returns Now Made Promptly Instead of

Son and Ray Boyd Apt to Have a Hos
tile Meeting,
WASHINGTON. April 10.-One Of the
regulations of the Department of Justice
requires United States Marshals to rem
der a weekly account of all the govern
ment funds in their possession. 1t was
hard to get the Marshals to obey it up to
last November. There were always two
dozen or more whose reports were far in
arrears. But since it became known that
Cleveland had been elected, these Mar
shals, with one exception, have been eX-
ceedingly prompt with their reports. The
one exception was Hughes, of Virginia,
whose accounts were short.
A HOSTILE MEETING ON THE TAPIs.
Young Turner, son of Representative
Oscar Turner, of Kentucky, who pre-

has ordered Agent McGillicuddy to report

pected to begin next week Senator Dawes,

CROOKED BANK EXAMINERS.
Comptroller of the Currency Cannon is
somewhat annoyed at the recently Circu-
lated reports that bank examiners are
permitted to notify banks several days
prior to the examination. He says that
such action on the part Of any examiner
would lead to his instant dismissal.
During the Fish-Ward investigation in
New York recently Mr. Fish testified that
certain examiner had given his bank
timely notice of his intention and
thereby enabled them to present clean
statement. Mr.. Cannon saws that the
examiner referred to has since died, and
there is no way of cOntrOverting Mr..
Fish's assertion. He says, however, that
bank examiners are always selected with
great care, and every effort is made TO
secure men of high character and
honesty. Their territory is often changed,
and numberless safeguards are adopted
to prevent cOllusiOn and fraud between
examiners and banks.

inquiry has shown that there was no
foundation for the charge or rumor. Early
this week a lady of good standing and
high intelligence came to the commission
and charged that n woman had, as she
knew, just been appointed in the Treasury
Department, in plain violation OF the
rules. She gave her name, residence and
date with unbounded confidence, and said
that nearly all Washington knew the

the entire charge to be without the least

dollars per anuum. rely mainly upon the
department here to keep their accounts
straight. 1t is a rule OF the government
not to notify creditor when money is
due him.
An enormous sum Of money has accu-
mulated here in credit balances to Post
masters OF the fourth class. The sums
vary from So to Sl00 It's believed that
several minor officials of the department
have BEEN furnishing this information to
certain claim agents. The latter would
notify the Postmaster that he
had discovered an amount TO his
credit, aRd would collect 1t for a CON-
mission of 10 per cent If the Postmaster
wrote the department about the matter
the ring would destroy the letter. POssi-
bly, he might write once or twice again,
and then, receiving no answer, he would
notify the claim agent to collect the
amount and deduct the commission.
1t is understood that member Of the
ring gave up the information. This per-
son, It is said, claims that the ring has
divided 100000 profits in the last three
wears.

Three more names of the Frog Lake vic
tins are giyen-H. Willis, Craft c. Gouin
and W. GilchIist. Two OF the victims re-
ported to-day were brothers, who were as
sistant priests and oblate fathers, both
natives of the province Of Quebec. In
dian agent Quinn was halEbreed Sioux,
whose father was killed in the Mime
sofa massacre. Fort Pitt is gafri-
soRed by only twenty-five police. 1t
is thought here that these and all the set
tiers around have Deen uaassacred. Fort
Pitt is surrounded bv the worst Indians
in the Northwest, mostly under the lead
ersbip of the notorious Big Bear. Battle
ford adYices say that party Of forty In
dians approached the fort, and as It was
thought that they were going 20 make an
attack fire was opened upon them at long
range by the mounted police in the fort.
Two Indians were killed, and the others
hastily retreated.
MIDDLETON TAKES FIFTY PRISONERS.
A report from Gen. Middleton's party

The Hudson Bay Company this after
noon received another dispatch from

the settlement at Carlton, which was not
consumed when the place was evacuated
by Irvine and Crozier, has been burned by
the rebels.
HALF.BREEDs NOT DANGEROUS.
Archbishop Tache in an interview this
afternoon said: "If the rising Is confined
to half-breeds IL will not amount to any
thing at all. If the Indians rise gen
orally the whole aspect Of affairs is
changed. There will be no end of trou-
bic and il will be perfectly horrible, but
/ keep hoping that they will not rise as
body. | would advise the governments TO
at once send a strong force Of troops and
deal with them by no half measures.
When / say deal with them by
no half measures don't
mean to slaughter them by thousands, but
IL they continue 10 act IN the manner they
appear TO be doing it may be necessary to
make an example OF them. As for my
opinion of Riel now, / am deeply sorry
for him. as ! think that he may be mis-
guided. lie usually counseled cOnstltu-

cited the Indians 10 rebel and rise, he has
incurred a great responsibility, the mag

ENGLAND TO TAX WHEAT.

20 or 80 Cents to be Put on Every
Bushel Imported If War Occurs.
WASHINGTON, April 10.-A gentleman
connected with the Diplomatic Corps,
who was recently detached from service
at the Court of St. James, said to the
NEWS correspondent tonight that in
England the belief is prevalent that in the
event OF war between England and Rus
sia the former country Will GER
tainly levy an import duty
on all cereals. The fact that
British cOns0ls have declined heavily
since the talk Of war began, is, in the
opinion Of this gentleman, certain indi-
cation that the British eXchequer is in a
depleted condition, and as taxes are
now greater than the English farmer can
bear, an import duty Tor revenue seems
TO be the only solution of the financial
problem. He predicts a duty of 10 to 20
cents per bushels on what within
thirty days after the war is declared.
