WASHINGTON, September ll.-Col-
onel John S. Williams, Third Auditor OF
the Treasury, to-day addressed a letter
to the Secretary OF the Treasury sta
ting that on the lst day Of May last,
when he assumed the duties Of Third
Auditor. it was notorious that the busi-
ness Of the Office was largely in arrears,
the plea being that the clerical force
was not sufficient for the prompt dis
patch Of the work. The pension diyi-
sion was nearly year behind IN It's
examination and settlement OF &C
counts Of pension agents, involving
n sum Of s75, 9C7, SS5, and the grand
total Of unsettled accounts was slO4,-
527,0l7, and some Of the work was
two wears behind. In the short space
Of four months, ending on the 3lst OF
August, and without increasing the
clerical force. Auditor Williams says
the accounts Of all the pension agents
have been examined and settled up TO
lst Of June last, and the clerks IN
the division are now examining and set
iling the accounts of the last quar-
ter. which is the current work.
The Auditor says the improvement in
the efficiency Of the clerks has been
very great. in TINS connection. how
ever, it may be stated that since the
4th Of March there appears TO have
been an astonishing improvement IN
the health Of the clerks. The last year,
with l59 clerks, there were 1896 sick
days. To-day the Auditor knows OF
only two clerks who are absent on
sick leave. AS the result Of this i'm
proved condition Of the business Of the
Office and the fact that greater efficiency
has obtained. the Third Auditor recon-
mends 8 reduction in the clerical
force. The law now provides for los
clerks. There are now SIX vacancies
caused by resignation, four Of which
need not be filed. The services OF
twelve more clerks can be dispensed
with without injury to the public ser
vice. making a total reduction Of sixteen
clerks. 1t Is understood that the
Auditors last recommendation Will be
carried into effect tomorrow.

lby telegraph to the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON COURTHOUSE, o..
september ll.-Congressman John
Little, who hos been here for two DAYS
examining into the situation Of afairs,
has made the following statement The
destruction here is not so generally
sweeping as at jamestown. but is vastly
greater. The general course Of the
tornado vas from the sOuthwes. to the
northeast through the centre Of the
CITY. It's general width was about
coo feet, with occasional breaks
to the right or left in its course Of a
ME and half. In town it e an ex-
cspuon where any square escaped in
Jury. In most Of them tho damage to
property is marked. and in some OF
them fearful. The business portions
suffered most. The damages vary from
the shsttering Of windows to every
stage Of demolition. IL a single house
IN tins portion escaped harm | have
not noticed the exception. In two
blocks alone the estimate Of dam
age to buildings has been placed
by practical men at 100000. The
damage to goods in these build
ings will not fall short Of s20,-
OoO. No class Of property escaped.
Dwellings Of all grades, public halls.
churches, and school houses fell prey
to the fury Of the storm. Individual
losses. as shown by the estimates Of
the committee. will exceed $3.50, 600.
and these are complete losses. as they
are not covered by insurance. They
fall most largely but not most di,as-
trously upon businessmen. The de-
yastation will be most severely felt by
the poor, who have come in for their
foil share. ] shorld say as many as
forty houses occupied by poor families
were utterly demolished. The relief
committee estimates for all Sub-com-
mittees have not vet reported that one
hundred families will need assistance
because Of the losses incurred. Some.
a. | know from personal observa-
ton, are rendered destitute. Num-
bers Of persons are on the streets
in borrowed clothing. Business
men. as a rule. Will be heavily bur
dened to make their owR necessary re-
pairs. Aid for the suffering poor must,
therefore. come from outside sources.
1t will require many thousands OF dol
lars to alleviate the suffering. and there
should be no delay in furnishing 10.
There is 10 reluctance among citi-
zens to ask for outside assist
snce. They should not be required
70 ask for it. Il should come
without asking and come graciously.
The winter Is close at hand, and the
relief committee, which is a most ex-
colicnt one. will have all it can do with
all the needed funds at hand to provide
shelter for the needy 10y the time cold
weather sets in. Every dollar sent 20
the chairman, Colonel II. 3. Maynard.
Washington Courthouse. Ohio, will be
conscientiously applied to the relief Of
the needy poor. / trust tha neces sity
for prompt assistance will be aFpre-
ciated.
