THE TREASURY INQUIRY.
{
Labors Concluded In the Internal Rev
enue Bureau. 4

Treasury Inquiry Commission, OF
which Assistant Secretary Fafrchild
is president, virtually concluded its
inspection Of the Internal Revenue
Bureau. The commission examined
the deputy commissioners, chief CLERK
and chiefs of all the divisiops of the
bureaus. The secretary and account
ant of the commission are now exam
lining the books and accounts OF the
different divisions, and are making
thorough Investigations! of the
method of doing business in the bu-
reau. 1t is expected that this portion
of the work will be completed In u
few days. The commission will be in
possession of all the data necessary for
the preparation. of their report to the
Secretary. The result of the work of
the commissian in the internal
Revenue Department is awaited with
much interest, as it is supposed to
give an indication of the policy to be
observed in the reorganization of
other bureaus of the Trea4lry De-
partment. The comm,sstSn has
virtually decided to make itg,recom-
mendation in regard to improving
the methods of business and reduc-
tions of force at the close of their in
vestigation in each bureau, before
beginning work in another. f. 1t is
expected that the commissidn will
investigate the affairs OF the sixth
aunitols' office as soon as the
Secretary acts on their reports on the
internal revenue bureau. 1t is also
llfeIy that the Commission will con-
clude to recommend the transfer of
clerks from an overcrowded bureau
to bureaus where the clerical force is
too smallinstead of dismissing super
f1uous clerks in one bureau aud sup
plying another bureau with clerks
certified by the Civil Service Com
mission. It is believed, however,
that the Commission will report the
number of clerks as being on the
whole in excess of the needs of the
service. !

PANAMA, viaH1alve,ton, April "a.
-Tuis morning strong barricades
were being erected in the streets
near the cable compsny's office,
which would have cut off all commu-
nication had not the same be en- sum-
mariIy removed, as the cable office
is situated in that part of the town
near the battery bnl two cuartels.
700 troops left Buena Vista
under General Villa this morning at
l O'clock, being TUNED in the hulk
of the Colombian gunboat "Boyaca"
and on schooner towed by the
canal companies tug boat. An attack
would have taken place Immediately
on the arrival of these troops on
Sunday night or Monday morning,
but at 2:3O o'clock this afternoon the
United States forces appeared on the
scene as if by magic, three taps on
a drum being the signal by which
they started. Three columns entered
the city and had full possession in
about ten minutes, knocking down
the barrlcades rs they passed through
the streets. At call of the bugle the
Colombian Guards withdrew into
the cuartels. This splendid cou6,de-
main has undoubtedly prevented
another disaster similar to that ut
Colon.

ST. PAUL, April PA Winnipeg
special says: A detachment of Otter's
force was camped across the Battle
river, from Battleford, last night,
and the garrison is much relieved.
Bsttleford dispatches state that the
remainder of the force was only a
short distance behind, and that when
it arrived the valley was secured by
mounted police, who report that the
Indians and balf-breeds have evil
dently fled at the approach of the
troops. Another Battleford dispatch,
in the course of an account of the
Fort Pitt fight, says that before
the firing commenced Factor Nc
Lean, of the Hudson Bay Co., had
parley with Big Bear, who assured
him that it was the intention of the
Indians to kill the police and that
the citizens might leave the fort in
safety. Anxious for the women and
children, Mclean accepted Big
Bears terms and left with about
fifty civilians of all ages, who are
now with the Indians. The re-
mainder of the garrison, outnumbered
by the enemy, retreated down the
river on a scow, taking the guns am
ammunition of the fort with them.

WINNIPEG, April 24.-A Clark's
Crossing messenger just returned
from the north brings the following
particulars of an engagement with
rebels, which occurred at 9:15 this
morning. fifteen miles sonth OF Bat
cnuce. The insurgents had taken
ground on the edge of deep ravine,
from which they poured a deadly
fire into the ad 7ancing column.
When the messenger left the fight
was still raging. Three houses
of the enemy had been
she.led and a great many reb 'ls
driven from them, who took refuge
in the ravine. The Indian allies of
the rebels f,ught vigorously Indian
fashion. The whole number in the |
ravlne is estimated at three hundred.
Middleton's nat was shot through,
but he escaped uninjured. Captain
Wise, Aid-de-Camp, had a horse shot
under him. The ravine is entirely

ination in the case Of Captain John
O'BQjen, Of the Provincial Steamship
Company's steamer "City of Mexi'
CO.," who was arrested yesterday fol
violating the neutrality laws by de.
livering munitions Of war to the reb'
els against the Government of the
United States of Colombia at Port
Savsnillo, was begun to-day before
United States Commissioner John G.
Austin. o. +. Lord, broker of the
City of Mexico, was examined. He
testified that the steamer was char
tered by Perese e. Williams, of this
city, to carry a cargo, including arms,
to correspondents of theirs in Sava
Milo. The witness did not know
| that there was an active insurrectiOn
going on between the Government
! and the insurgents in the United
| States of Colombia. He thought it
was dispute between parties some
| thing like the fight between the Dem
ocrats and Republicans in New York.
The men who boarded the steamer at
Savanillo and proceeded to Rio Ha-
cha we're passengers, he said, and his
account of the episode at Rio Hacha
was that the Colombian authorities
BOARDED THE STEAMER,
and arrested the passengers, which
brought protest from Captain
O'Brlen. John Mccarthy, mate Of
the "City of Mexlco." testified that
when he shipped he understood the
voyage was to Kingston and return.
On March 1lth, while in Erie Basin,
the vessel was loaded with arms and
ammunition. Two Spaniards got
aboard. One Of them said he was a
brother OF The revolutionary Presi-
dent of Colombia. During the pas
sage the packages OF arms became
loOsened, and aroused the suspicious
of the crew. The vessel reached
Savanillo on March 2lst. The Cap
tain was ashore four days, and on
March 2Stb, two hundred officers and
men, armed and uniformed, were
taken aboard. The steamer sailed at
once for Rio Hacha, which was
reached the next day. The port
officers came out to see the ships
papers, and were taken
PRISONERS BY TIE SOLDIERS.
The steamer was flying the American
flag. Mccarthy testified that lie and
the crew objected to that sort of
thing, but the witness was afraid he
would be shot if he intesfered serI-
ously. The steamer then cruised
down the coast, and bore down upon
q schooner, by order of the General
commanding the troops. Mccarthy
says he notified the fremen and
crew of what was being doue, and
then returned to the General with an
American flag in his hand, saying:
1--WE are all American citizens, and
we will be id if We are going to
capture that vessel. 1t is nothing
but piracy" The caplu was not
made, aud the following day the
troops disembarked at Savinallo.

from the port officers, but they were
sent to Barren Quella. The "Clty
of Mexico" then proceeded to Bera
del TOrra, where she loaded with
fruit and returned to New York.
Captain O'Brien was to-day held in
50 900. The steamship will be IL
Delled by the Government.

THE "BOsPHORE-EGYPTlEN.,
oonhActih& reports Concerning the
Vexed Question.

LONDON, April 24.-Great excite
ment was caused here by the reported
withdrawal from Cairo of M. Bar
rere, the Consul General of Franc,
to Egypt. Mr.. Gladstone announced
the fact In the House of Commons.
1t was corrected at the foreign office
where it is explained that the Pre-.
mier.s statement was based on the
translation of = cipher dispatch to the
Government, which has since been
found to have been errone Jus. The
foreign office announces that the Gov
ernment have no information that
Barrere has departed from Cairo.
The fac g are that the French Con-
sui General has informed the Khe-
dive and Nuban Pasha, Egyptian
Foreign Minister, of his instructions
to suspend official relations with the
Government of Egypt. His lnstruc-
tiOns were to suspend all
OFFICIAL RELATIONS
with Egypt, and make the declara-
ton to the Government of Egypt
that France declines to sanction the
Egyptian financial convention, and
reserves to herself complete liberty
otaction. The Consul, however, de-
layed his departure, and it is stated
that Egypt now offers to compromise
the dispute with France concerning
the suppression of the B0sph0re-
Egyptiea by making an apology and
a0mltting that her officials violated
the right of domicile of the publish
ers. The apology, however, IS to
contain mo illusion to the seizure of
the Bosphore-Egyptien."
EXCITEMANT IN PARIS.
In Paris the breaking off of official
relations between France and Egypt,
the announcement of which rupture
was made there yesterday morning
in dispatch from Cairo, was en-
irely unexpected by the people, and
created great sensation. This act
of France is considered sn unmis-
taxable evidence that there is an un-
between France and
Russia.

yer. The bankers aud many Of the mer'
chants Of that city support the PROPOSE
ton, and assert that the commercial
welfare of the country rests upon the
substitution of single monetary stand
ard Of gold for the double standard Of
silver and gold. Generosity the other
Eastern trade centcrs support the New
York leaders in this movement, aud the
southern Atlantic states give it some
countonancc; but the entire West and
Northwest are united against II.
The causes OF this geographical division
of sentiment upon the question are
easily explained. Thcyarc the same that
orc uced like division upon the green
back question ten years ago. The West
is in process of development and needs
more money To supply the expensive
demands. The East Is at standstill, and
has more money than sufices for the
needs of ordinary trade. Hence the
former wishes to increase, the latter to
contract, the volume of money In circula-
ton. The need of the West is cheap
money and plenty of &C. The
advantage OF the East Is dear
money and it hard to get. \
prof1se circulation, under good condi-
tons of trade, gives low interest, and the
West is borrower. A scant circulation
advances interest, and the East is lend
er. This diversity OF interest explains
the situation. While IL means to protect
itself, the West cannot listen to the de-
mand of the East for the decentralization
OF silver. An act TO destroy the legal
tender quality Of silver would reduce the
circulating medium of the country by
more than one hundred million dollars,
and precipitate panic of unequaled mag
nitude.
Nevertheless, while resisting the de-
mand TO withdraw silver from circulation
entirely, the West can do the justice of
making the silver dollaran honest one, of
giving 1t a substance that shall make 1t
worth all that It's face value represents.
Silver has declined in value (or gold has
risen, as viewed from the silver stand
point until the amount now coined in a
dollar is worth but 81 cents in bullion.
The stamp of government may make 1t
worth hundred cents in this country,
but it Is worth no more than the market
value Of the silver abroad. a dollar should
be dollar. 1t purports to represent
100 cents Of value, and the weight should
not belle the face. An eighty-two cent
dollar is not an honest dollar. The gov
eminent can and should call in the pres
cnt outstanding silver circulation and re-
coin it in pieces that will he worth rs
much without the governments stamp as
with It. This much the West can con
ccdc and assist the East in doing; but,
consistently with her own interests, she
cannot allow silver to be degraded from
circulation as money.
