WASHINGTON, July 10.-The Democratic re-
form administration which began operations on
the 18th of March last has found itself in many
cases very hard up for timber with which to con-
struct the machine of government In Cincin-
natl, for instance, the man who has charge of
government property and is known as the custo-
dian of the public building is somewhat handi-
capped in his efforts to gain living in other
walks of life by the fact that he has served
term in the work house for robbing church,
while a watchman under him has also spent
portion of bis existence within
prison walls, and there has just
been recently appointed another one who is well
known in Washington. His name is Witte, and
while here he was con1kcted with some bogus
jewelry swindle, and subsequently served term
in Sing Sing New York, prison. for obtaining
So, 0CO under false pretenses He has Jail
record that is simply irreproachable, and it is
said that he has spent more time inside of the
prison walls than he has in the open air. A gen.

government positions or they must 60 without the
Offices which belong to the victors, as the rank
and file Of the Democratic party--the men who
would take these small offces-are composed of

Alleged Abuses Which Secretary Whitney
Proposes to Have Corrected.
WAsHI>oN, July l0.-The Secretary of the
Navy proposes effecting eptire reorganization
of the nine government navyyards not later
than next fall, and an investigation looking to
this end has been in progress for some weeks.
Commissions atsthe various yards have been ex-
amining the books and papers covering a period
of ten years. These commissions have been and
are being assisted by special commission sent
from the Navy Department The reports are to
be sent to Washington and compared with the
books here. The object of the investigation
is to learn whether or not the books will agree
with the accounts in the department at Wash
lngton. 1t is intimated that already the dis
covery has been made that the books at the do
partment show that certain materials which
ought to be on hand in one of the yards cannot
be found AT the Mare Island navy-yard the
investigation will be most thorough, because Of
the reports Of needless expenditures of money at
that place. The Secretary has been furnished
with the names of a number of persons who say
they can give evidence Of fraud in that yard in
the repair of United States vessels.
will the Secretary order an investigation of
the repairs on vessels in all the yards?" was
asked of naval officer to day, who is acquainted
with Secretary Whltney's intentions.
1T is useless to order an investigation" he
replied The money has been spent, in some
cases reckessly, and L suspect frauduiently, but
it cannot be recovered. AT one yard Mare
Islandl large amounts. in past years, have been
expended in repairs. This yard is a great dis
tance from Washington, and the officers have
seemed to feel that they could act with impu-
nifty. have heard itssaid that rotten wood has
been placed in vessels being repaired, that
they might soon be returned for additional re-
pairs. The charges are higher at Mare Island
than in the private yards on the Pacific coast"
In the proposed reorganization the Secretary
will manage to dispense with the services of SO
many bosses. The yards are full of Master
This and Master That, and they all get So day,
whether they work or not. -Four hours is
days work in some instances. saimaker
went from Boston to one of the yards and began
working eight hours a day. He told to
labor less time: that he could not be allowed to
accomplish so much work.

The Indian troubles, as looked upon from
Washington, are becoming more serious A tele-
gram has been sent to the officer in command at
Fort Reno, which says the outbreak must be
suppressed, even if Cheyennes are wiped out of
existence. General Miles is expected to arrive
in Indian Territory not later than the first of
next week The hope is expressed that he may
be able to quiet the disturbance without blood
shed He is well known to the Indians, and is
said to have considerable influence over them.
In a trouble with the Cheyennes some years
ago they surrendered to him voluntarily Prior
to that 1t was their custom to refuse to surren-
der
The Indian Commissioner had not received
any kilograms from the scene of disturbance up
to the close of Office hours today In answer
to an inquiry as to whether it was the intention
of the government to disarm the Cheyennes, he
hrny declined to give any information. He
declared that great harm might be done by the
premature publication of the intentions Of the
government in such cases. Nevertheless, it can
be stated that the Interior Department is
strongly in favor of disarming the Cheyennes,
and that Inspector Armstrong has recommended
the adoption of this precaution.
q. Gordon Adams and several other residents
of Arizona have had interviews with the Secre
tary of the Interior in reference to the proposed
transfer of the Apaches on the San Carlos reser-
vation to the Indian Territory. The Secretary
examined the legal status of the Indians, and
found that the act of Feb. II, 1879, forbade the
transfer of the Apaches or any other Indians in
Arizona or New Mexico to the Indian Territory
until Congress should have legslated further
upon the subject The Arizona delega
ton We're somewhat confounded when their
attention was called to this act, the existence of
which was unknown to them. 1t was suggested
to them that the Apaches might be transferred
to Nor mans land" west OF the Indian territory,
or to Greer county, Texas, tract claimed by
both Texas and the Indian territory, in the event
that 1t should be found to belong to Texas These
suggestions were accepted by the gentlemen,
and they will make strong effort to secure the
Presidents consent to the plan.

THE CATTLE-TRAlL TROUBLE.
A Statement in the Interest of the Men Who
Oppose the Passage of the Texan Herds.

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-The Commissioner of
Agriculture to-day received the following tele-
grant
CHEYENNE, W. T., July 10.
ITO Hon. N. j. Colman, Commissioner of Agriculture:
'Having seen in this mornings newspapers
copy of telegram sent to you by j. r. Blocker
and others concerning the stoppage of hecattle-
trail in the Indian Territory, J. beg to enter en-
phatic protest against several of the statements
made, as being untrue and misleading. 1t is
true that an armed force is in the vicinity of the
old trail. 1t is there for the protection of
lease holders, on account of Mr.
Blocker and various other drivers having pub
licly announced their intention of crossing those
leases III defiance of law. They will not meet
with any opposition until they enter these
leased lands, and if the law decides they can
cross such lands, they will meet no armed oppo-
sltlon. In the meantime, we believe that legally
they have right to cross over leased
lands, and further that the common law
Of the country, as well as the provisions
in the animal industry bill, will protect all
healthy cattle from the inroads of the Texas
fever The majority of the cattle coming up the
trail come from districts that have been infected
with the fever appeal to you and others in
authority at Washington to disregard any com
munications from interested parties, and to let
the law take its course. We have right TO try
the case on its merits, and We propose to stand
by the decision Of the tribunals of the country.

MYSTERIOUS MARK HAMILTON.
Fortune of 100000 in Ready Cash
Awaiting a Claimant.


Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WAsHlNGToN, July 10.-Perhaps fifty families
in the United States have put money into the
pockets of the rapacious land sharks who have
made a good thing out of the credulity of the
gulllbe. Advertising for heirs for estates in
chancery in England has proved a very profit
able business for some of these alleged attorneys.
Meanwhile there is u sum of money awaiting
some American heirs right here in the United
States, that, perhaps, would lead to very much
less trouble and more results if followed up.
Some time ago the State Department was noti-
fed that an American named Mark Hamilton had
died in Paris, and that he had left in
the banks there some $70 000 This
money was obtained by the State Department
and was held until recently, when it was turned
over to the public administrator Of New York
city. Mark Hamilton was also described as
gentleman of excellent presence, and one who
was liberal and lived in good stratum of society.
Beyond this, however, nothing was known of
him. On his person and among his effects were
found some three or four hundred letters ad-
dressed to him from all quarters of the globe,
the bulk of them coming from points in Iowa
and from New York brokers' Taking this as
clew, the State Department attempted to find
out who Hamilton was and what his antecedents
were. They have exhausted every effort and
have at last given up the case at
least for while. 1t seems that the brokers who
addressed these letters to Hamilton said they
knew him well, but beyond the fact that he was
a good customer and heavy dealer, they could
give no information in regard to him. 1t was
learned that there were some ST. 900 to his credit
in one of the banks in New York city; and
further, that he owned extensive tracts Of land
in Iowa and other Northwestern States. The
department has made careful search in every
place where it was thought his relatives might
be found, but thus far without success. At last
the public administrator of New York came to
Washington and demanded the money which
was held by the State Department. The
Attorney general, upon being appealed to, said
that the department had no option in the matter,
but must turn the money over to the public
ment would have had better chance of follow
ing to a successful end the search for Hamiltons
heirs, and could undoubtedly have done so with
very much less expense than the New York
municipal authorities will do; still there was no
help for it, and the money has been turned over
Some one who can establish his relationship to
this mysterious Mark Hamilton will find him
self in possession of somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. The State Department will
supply such further information as it has in re.
gard to it.

fellows then but who were led into the folly of
accepting u government position because the pay
was sure and perhaps little better than they
could hope to obtain to start with in other walks
of life. These men have been at their desks
and have worked faithfully, in many instances,
for twenty years. They are thoroughly familiar
with all the routine of the department in which
they are empl but are utterly incompetent
for any service simply because
they have be .1lled in one line, and have had
no experien anywhere else. If you take
man who has been for twenty years a weaver in
woolen mill and try to make carpenter Of
him in one day, you will find how difficult task
you have undertaken. 1t is the same with
government clerk, and it is not surprising that
it should be so, 1t casts no reflection upon these
men that they are not able to earn their living
in any other business; but it should be warning
to all young men who are considering the policy
of applying to the Civilservice Commission for
place, that by so doing they are, perhaps, lock-
ing themselves in a position from which they
can never rise
