unworthy or inefficient while in office.
Under the provisions of the bill the secretary
of state, whose ideas of foreign policy might
be totally opposite to those of the executive,
must be retained by him, and this though the
senate should concur in the propriety OF APP
pointing another in his place. Under the
existing statutes preference in appointment
is given to many of the class of persons
named in the bill, and the pnr-
poses of these statutes would, II
literally construed, be carried out by
retaining such persons in Office when their
general fitness was apparent or when the
proper objects of the executive could best be
carried out by so doing, but to provide THAI the
executive shall retain in Office any person
when he may think that some other person
is better fitted to administer the trust Is, in
our opinion, unwise and unconstitutional.
Public Office must be regarded as trust and
not as a mere reward for past services, how
ever meritori Jus, and present usefulness
should be the test in the incumbent. Your
committee report the bill back adversely and
recommend that it do not pass.

u. s. Grant, Jr., Telling what He Knows OF
the Grant & Ward Transactions.
New YORK, Jan 31.-Another hearing was
had to-day in the action Of jerome B.Chaffee,
receiver Of $500, 900 worth of securities The
examination OF U. S Grant, Jr., was re-
sumed. All letters received by Grant from
Senator Chaffee relative to the matter In
question were produced. The first was from
ChafTee, written from the west in 1888, re-
ferring 10 certain loans. The third letter
was from Denver and dated Sept. 26, 1888,
in which Chatfee said 10 Grant: You may
use $500, 600 in your hands for our Joint in
terest through your firm" In another letter
referring to the matter Chaffee said he would
like TO make few thousands to use In poll
tics out west in the fall, warning Buck" to
be careful IL he was specializing.
In another letter the senator said be was
getting n little short, and asked ''Buck' to
place S., 600 to his credit in the First Nation
al bank. In the first letter written from
Washington, Cbaffee asked II the Tribune ex-
pose of Herbert o. Thompson would not en-
danger certain city contracts. The witness
testified that he was credited with only So
600 or 81, 600 per month, and the witness
understood each member of the firm was 10
draw only that per month, but the witness
found afterward that Fish had drawn all his
profits. The checks of the witness during
1888 and 1884 were produced and amounted
to Ss7, 900.
Gen. Grant was auditor Of the firm, said
the witness, but was in a position 50 lie

auditor and lost everything he had in the
world. The witness aud his father supposed
they owned a seat in the stock exchange.
The subject of government contracts was
entered upon, the witness submitting five
monthly statements In which were govern
ment contracts, though not at the time known
to the witness 10 be such.
The witness was TO have half Chaffee's pro-
fits, or one-quarter of the whole profit In the
tran saciion In question. Grant had charge
OF the Chaffee securities aud Of his account
II the contract accounts OF
the firm had been real, the firm
would have owed the witness 81 100000.
The witness loaned Ward bis personal
notes to the amount OF $50, 900. Ward told
the witness the checks were destroyed, but
the witness finds they are extaut. From the
property transferred 10 Cbaffee after the fail
ure he had realized about $50, 900. The wit
ness had borrowed from the firm S4l4, 900 on

Stand at uetemneh.
A Basis for Settlement of the Egyptian FL
nancial Question News.
The Situation at Metemneh.

The Situation at Metemneh.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-Dispatches received
to-day from Korti, describing the situation
of Gen. Stewards forces at Gubat, make it
plain that the mahdI's men have arranged to
make q stubborn stand in Metemneh. They
are SO well situated there 1t has
been deemed advisable TO await rein-
forcements before assauiting the stronghold.
AS soon as the rein forcements now on the
way reach Gubat, Gen. Stewards band will
endeavor TO take Metemneh by storm. The
action of the troops after that will largely
depend upon Gen. Gordon. Neither Gen.
Stewart nor Gen. Wolseley has any idea what
he is likely to decide. The plan of action
favored by Gen. Wolseley is to have the gar
rison at Khartoum brought down the Nile in
steamers 10 Metemneh as soon as the British
have secured it. This would practically effect
the object of the expedition and end the
war. But ii is feared Gen. Gordon, when
success has crowned the hard work of the
expedition, may positively refuse to be
relieved, or allow his faithful garrison to 90.
There are reasons for believing he will insist
on remaining at Khartoum and establishing
a government there. II he does then Gen.
Stewards forces will be pushed forward and
will attack the mahdi at Omdurman. 1t is
believed Gen. Earle's force will meet with q
battle at Abu Hamed, or short distance
below 1t. The mahdi has Assem- bled large
force at Abu Humed. II a
battle should be given there, and
the British prove victorious, the result will
likely be TO induce the enemy to evacuate
Berber, especially as they know Gen. Cor
dou's steamers can be used to operate against
them from the south. If Gen. Earle sue
ceeds in safely passing Ahu Hamed, he will
be able to make much more rapid progress,
as his route on the river will then be south,
instead Of east as now, aud he will have the
benefit of north winds.

A Better Feeling in Financial Circles.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
WAsHINGroS, Jan. 3l.-As the result of
the conference yesterday ct the treasury de-
partment between Secretary McCulloeh,
Treasurer Wyman, Assistant Treasurer Ac-
ton and the principal officers Of the New
York clearing house, there is a better feeling
IN financial circles to-day as 10 the outcome
Of the troubles which have arisen over the
refusal in the past on the part OF the clearing
house to accept silver certificates. 1t is now
believed that the danger of crisis has been
averted, at least for while, and that those
IL the house who are mainly and directly
responsible for oyercoinage OF standard
dollars will have all their craftsmanship
brought into active use TO prevent
the administration OF President
Cleveland from being wrecked at
the very outset by the silver question.
Secretary McCulloch seems quite well salts
fed with the present aspect Of affairs and
does not seem to think there is any serious
danger Of gold and legal tender reserves be-
coming any smaller. Some Of the treasury
oilicias have been DESTROYS for some time Of
compelling the creditors of the government
to accept silver certificates. They say they
do not see any justice in requiring the gov
eminent TO accept silver Of customs and
other dues and then compel the govern ment
to pay out gold and legal tender notes in set
tlement Of balances against 1t. Sooner or
later this point had to be met, and according
10 what they were now advised was the result
Of the conference yesterday the government
had secured its point, and banks will now
receive silver certificates in preference to
taking silver itself.

district attorney to bring suit in United
States courts, thus making the United States
the plaintiff and subject to costs. 1t is al
legged by the advocates of forfeiture that this
amendment is made in the interest Of rail-
Dad corporations. The amendment was
5 Nn-concurred in BY the house OF representa-
I IS and is in q committee Of conference.
T. Ne is reason to believe that the house will
never agree TO this amendment, and
unless the senate rccedes from its posi-
ton the whole bill will fail. The bill pro-
vides for the forfeiture Of about 1000, 900 OF
acres of land under the Oregon Central
grant. The senate also amended that bill so
as to give to the railroad company one-half
the land contained in the grant, whereas
the bill as it passed the house forfeited all.
The grant, however, being a small one, the
house finding that the senate refused to re-
cede, agreed TO adopt the amendment and
the bill will become law. There are only
two house bills the senate has action on.
There seems to be poor prospect for the
forfeiture bills at that end of the capitol,
Though TIE platforms of both political
parties at Chicago declared strongly for
the policy Of returning to the
people these forfeited lands. In
respect 10 the amendment made to
theI bill forfeiting The Atlantic & Pacific
land grant, prominent railroad magnate is
reported to have said If he could get the
question into court he would keep it there
for forty years or have a decision in favor
of the railroads. The bills passed by the
house provide for the forfeiture of 55, 600, 900
acres of land in the aggregate, which, If di-
vided into 100 acre tracts, would give farms
to 343, $50 families, or some 100000 people.
The number of persons composing the rail-
road corporations seeking to mouopolize the
lands IS said not to exceed 300 persons,
