sides of Mr. William Keyser. ]. Hall Peasants,
president OF the Civil Service Reform Associa-
ton of Baltimore, and Mr.. VIM. Platt, waited
first on Secretary Lamar yesterday to protest
against the appointment of Morris A, Thomas
OF Baltimore, as an Indian inspector The
charges in rough, as stated by Mr.. Findlay who
acted as SPOKESMAN. We're as follows: First, that

next. that Mr.. Thomas was q member OF a
stock brokers' frm, VINO had received from Dr.
Miltenberger. Of baltimore, $4,000 worth of
coupon PONDS ior sale, and had sold them on
the stock board and had given DR.. Mjltenbergcr
check, which proved worthless and has never
been paid. Tnere other charges among
them one FROM the German Bank. It is also
charged that Mr.. Thomas applied for q dis
charge under the bankrupt act and il had been
refused on grounds not credita6le to the appIi-
cant.
Mr.. Findlay informed Secretary Lamar that
politically in Maryland, and if the present an
pointment was allowed to stand the preten.
sions OF the administration, OF a desire for re-
form, would be received with scorn in that
state. The delegation desired to know who Mr.
Thomas indorsers were.
Secretary Lamar said he thought Mr. Comm.
ton was one OF them He thought the names
OF the indorsers was private matter. The
Secretary said the case was under cons: Iteration
and decided action would be taken shortly
The delegation then went to the White House
They stated the case to him, as they had done
to the Secretary. The President seemed
greatly surprised at the case, and said he had
heard nothing officially about it. 81 will see

The shore is sirewn with sails and rigging, cabin
furniture, portions of cabin, cord wood and
cedar posts. The main part of the hull, which
looks To be greatly broken up, is about five

found TO indicate the name of the vessel except
piece OF money rail painted white, with black
letters five and oDe-half inches long. spelling
