MN. SAWTEx'0 VERSION,
l baye repeatedly notified the people
OF Little Falls that if they would get the
railroad company to remove the restrlc-
tons from my elevator they might line
the side track from one end to the other
with flat warehouses, and l would guar
antee that the elevator would take care
of itself. They have never manifested
any disposition to do that, but demand
that the elevator shall lie kept open dur
ing the year and operated against the fiat
warehouse duriag the wheat season. In
answer to Mr. Rhodes statemen in regard
70 Col. Clough's emitting to mention the
fact that the Little Falls elevator hand
led 190, 900 bushels with net gain Of
$500 to 5000, have to say that Mr..
Rhodes onits to make similar state
ment, which, il he did, would be false,
and think he knows it. He merely
makes these ;nsinuations TO mislead the
public. 1t is q fact that before all of the
elevators on the Little Falls 4 Dakota
division were completed l transferred the
lower grades Of grain from the fat
houses to clean them, but rs soon IS the
machinery was put in The elevators there
was no necessity for il: and the fact is,
there has beea only one car transferred
and cleaned from this crop; aud then il
there were any .'overs'' in the house: hey
were screenings from the lower grades,
taken from the dst houses, III Of which

. ASSAYER HARRISON.
What Senator Harrison Says Respecting the
Charges Against His Son.

Senator Harrison yesterday gave some facts
relating to the assayer's Office at Helena, M.
T., of which his son, Russell B., is the chief.
The Senator stated that the charges which a
special agent of the Treasury was inquiring into
were old, having been been made in February
last, by discharged employe and man with
whom Russell had a personal difficulty. AS
soon as Russell was made aware of the ex-
istence of the charges he at once demanded the
fullest and speediest investigation. The special
agent has already reported that the cash, bullion
and accounts of the Office are correct to a cent
Concerning the charges, the Senator says:
''There is quite a list of them-twenty specifica-
tions in all-and the substance of them is about
this: Nine of them charge that as many en-
ployes of the assay Office did work for him during
Office hours. Three of them charge that he
bought materials for the Office in open market,
without advertising for bids, and that an addi-
ton to the Office now being built has cost more
than it should. Four others relate to the
alleged sale of old carpets etc., at
private sale, and to the giving away
of an old carpet to the janitor, etc. Four
more charge that ne bought some gold retorts of
a customer; that he loaned some money to an
employee at high rate of interest; that he with
held twenty four dollars of his wages from Don
aldson the man vino makes the charges, ets.
Three others charge that he paid private ship
ment of freight weighing 1000 pounds and a
private telegram Of eighty words out of govern
ment money. The last charge is that he has
been absent from his Office too much. You will
see that, except as to the freight charge and the
cost of the telegram, there is no suggestion Of
any misuse Of public money, and the records at
the directors Office show those charges to be
false. / do not care to go into the real facts as
to the other charges-the investigation will de-
velop them fully"
The press telegram from Helena published
yesterday, said that "a number of witnesses tes-
tify that the government money was used for
speculation in private enterprises" A telegram
from Russelrs attorneys to the Senator received
yesterday, says: mot one word of such testi-
mony has been given.' An investigation into
how such a report came to be given to the press
has been commenced. 1t is suggestive circum-
stance that about the time the charges were sent
to Washington an application for the place was
forwarded hysa man named Swallow, who is con-
nected with the Democratic paper at Helena
and which paper is the press agent 1t looks as
though the press had been used to disseminate a
falsehood in the interest of an applicant for the
office

Hayes in 1879, prior to MIR. Harrison's election

A SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT.
The Basis of a Rumor that Superintendent
Jacobs Will Be Removed.

There is some significance, it is said, 20 the
failure of Superintendent Jacobs, of the Blind
Asylum, to represent Indiana in the National
Convention of Charities, now in session at Wash
ington. Last year he attended the convention
held at ST. Louis, and figured rather prominent
ly in the proceedings. He was appointed mem
Der of an important committee, which was in
structed to report this year at Wash
ington. AS superintendent Of the Blind
Asylum he was entitled to represent the
State again, this year, but Trustee Briggs of the
same institution, was chosen in his place, while
the superintendents of the other institutions
were sent as usual. The sequel to this decidedly
unkind treatment of Mr. Jacobs is due to his
opposition to Captain Stodgills election as trus-
tee of the Blind Asylum. during the session of
the late Legislature. and q conflict with Trustee
Briggs His immediate removal is said to have
been demanded, and President Harrison con-
sented to change being made in the near fu-
ture. probably not later than the last of the
present month.
