No Indications of Speedy Distribution of

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON June lin spite of the fact
that Governor Hendricks and other Democratic
statesmen during the campaign last fall, asserted
that there was in the Treasury surplus of
something like $3.50 OOo o00 and in spite of the
promise that these gentlemen made that this
surplus should he distributed as soon as the
Democratic party got control of the affairs of the
government the Secretary of the Treasury has
not yet seen his way clear to issue call for
bonds, and the great surplus, which, by the way,
Mr. Hendricks will admit is not as great as he
said it was last fall, is juss about great as it
was when Secretary McCulloch turned over the
keys to Secretary Manning, and all inquiries at
the Treasury, from the sources where informa-
ton is usually obtainable, only elicit the reply
that no one knows when the next call of bonds
will be made

Death of a Notorious Burglar.

Fort GAINES, Ga. June ia notorious
burglar has died in Jail here, after most ex-
citing chase and capture. kilograms had been
received from various points asking for the ar
rest of burglar who was fully described. and
whose name was George Edwards TIE officers
noticed strange negro, who ran as soon as they
approached him. The chase was joined in by a
dozen citizens, and for three miles the burglar
ran with the speed of professional runaway,
under a shower of bullets. Turning an angle,
which hid him for moment from his pursuers
he climbed tree which overhung the river bank.
His refuge was observed, however, and the tree
was surrounded To come down was to fall into
the hands of the officers. which he had deter
mined not to do. Climbing out on the limb,
which reached out over the water, and over
twenty-i five feet above it, he sprang into the
river, and was swimming rapidly to the other
side, when well-directed shot rendered him
nerveless. He was brought to land and lodged
in jail, where he died. The coroners investiga-
ton decided that the cause of death was not
the bullet which had struck him, but was the
result of the jump from the tree into the river

Z. WASHINGTON, June 17.-Treasurer Jordan is
very indignant that his scheme for dividing up
the money held by the Assistant Treasurer, and
depositing the same among national banks desig-
mated as depositaries. should have leaked out,
and met with such universally cool reception,
before he had fully matured his plans and sue

Tt has been no secret here for several weeks
that Secretary Manning has been almost entirely
guided by Treasurer Jordan in regard to the
financial policy of the department. The change
in the form of the public-debt statement was due
to Mr. Jordan's advice, and had not his latest
financial scheme become public, it is believed
that Secretary Manning would have given his
approval to it. The universal condemnation of
