Consular Salaries.
Washington Special.
Many of the newly-appointed consuIs are writ
ing to the State Department that the salaries are
too small to maintain the dignity of their posi-
tons, and that the allowance for Office rent clerk
hire, etc, is wholly insufficient Some of them
have written to their senators and members of
Congress to intercede for them, and urge the de-
partment to increase the amount for current ex-
penses. Mr. Holman called upon Secretary
Bayard, last week. in behalf of one of his con-
stituents. who was appointed to an important
eonsulship on the continent few months ago.
and was informed that the matter rested with
Congress, and that body alone could rectify such
embarra3sments as had been imposed upon the
diplomatic and consular service by scanty appro-
priations.
But exclaimed Mr. Holman, ''you have a
contingent fund, out of which you can allow my
friend the few hundred dollars he needs, can you

Got His Reward.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miller re-
lated an interesting incident that occurred the
othsr day in his Office. A clerk came in and re-
marked that he had worked and voted for Cleve-
land and was glad there was change in the ad-
ministration. Mr. Miller told the clerk that he
was glad that he had called, as he was exactly
the man he had been looking for. If you voted
and worked for Cleveland you got big lot of
money for it. and can we'll afford to retire. You
will be the next man discharged from the Office

frightened and ran away. Hartley was

is quite seriously bruised on other parts of the

recovery, he is now suffering from a severe
conclusion if not depression of the brain.

The Federal Repekts.

washington bptCIaI.
The order that none of the heads of bureaus
in the departments shall make public their re-
ports or anything contained in them comes from
the President himself. He has issued an order
that nothing that will form a part of his report
to Congress shall be made public through the
subordinate officers. Heretofore all subordinate
reports have been made public whenever
ready. The idea now is to have everything
dressed up in Democratic clothing and it is
feared that if the old Republican officers made
their reports usual, they might see things
differently from what the President would, and
the statements might be conflicting

the craft off through the air, and seen it strike
persons, who were soon after taken sick. What

was dropped, it is supposed by Mrs. Rankins at
the bakery of Demas Gilbert. Gilbert picked it
up and turned it over to Sheriff Harper. The
box had contained No. IL black thread, and cor
responds to the box Coffey claimed was taken.

were: A ninety days note for $12. 40 in favor of
