COLONEL THOMAS C. FLETCHER.
The Family and Friends Of the Ex-Governor
Alarmed Over His Disappearance.

ST. Louis, March 29.-The Globe Democrat
says: ''The family and friends of Ex-Governor
Thomas G. Fletcher much alarmed over
what they pronounce his unaccountable absence
from the city. Colonel Fletcher has not been
seen in ST. Louis since the afternoon of Satur-
day, March 2l when some friends conversed
with him in the vicinity of the Laclede Bank.
No person familiar with his haunts has been
able to trace him to any of them since that
time. 1t was at first thought that he had gone
to DeSoto, Mo-, where he has business and
property interests, but gentleman arrived
from that place yesterday is emphatic in the
declaration that he has not been there recently
Possibly he may have gone to Texas to visit his
daughter, who lives on q ranch in the vicinity
Of Colorado Springs. If SO, he went without
saying anything to his family in this city about
such an intention. His friends thought that
possibly he might have had some financial
trouble, but a careful examination of his books
and trusts shows that there is no ground what
ever for such belief He is managing one estate,
and every dollar of the money belonging to il is
in its proper place. All that is known at present
is that he cannot be found Efforts will be made
to day to reach his daughter, Mrs. Bartholow,
by telegraphing to Texas and to inquire of herif
he has gone there"

Ex-senator Hill Enters a Denial, and Clerk
Tells What He Knows.


Tells What He Knows.
WASHINGTON March 28. "A statement from
ex-senator Hill, published to-day, in dispatch
from Denver, denying responsibility for the
spurious report issued from the Government
Printing Office as a report from the Senate com
mittee on postoffices and post-roads, and assert
ing that the only report he (Mr. Hill) ever
ordered printed was that of the COM
mittee of investigation printed in the
summer Of 1884, was shown, this after
noon, to the late clerk of the committee,
who was also the private secretary of it's chair
man, Senator Hill. This gentleman, though
reluctant to submit to an interview, said, in re-
ply to direct interrogatories, that he had given
the order for printing the matter in question,
and had done so by direction of Mr.. Hill He
gave the order on the 18th and 14th of this
month, and had received the instructions of Mr..
Hill to do so about month before. He (the
clerk) assumed the responsibility for the delay
of one month. Regarding the material
contained in the report the clerk said he had
himself copied the questions propounded to
the president of the Western Union Company.
but had received the newspaper clippings Of which
fourfifths of the spurious report consisted, from
Senator Hill himself. Mr. Hill denies that he
ordered any copy to be printed. The ex-clerk
admits having received, day before yesterday,
$50 of the 200 extra copies ordered by him for
the use of the committee, and says he took them
to the folding room to be folded ITO be folded
and directed to whom" was asked.
ITO be folded in blank" was the response.
The gentleman declined to state to whom the
the copies of the spurious documents were to be
sent and declined to answer any further ques-
tions.
Members of the Senate committee, whom some
one, apparently acting through Senator Hill, in
tended to make responsible in part for this
spurious publication, are exceedingly indignant
They invited the investigation entirely on their
own motive, and have given orders at the docu-
ment rooms that no more copies shall be given
out to any one.
