THE TREASURY INQUIRY.
Concluding of internal Reven..e Invest :
igatiOns

The Treasury Inquiry Commission, at
Washington, of which Assistant Secretary
Fairchild is president has virtually conclu
ded its inspection Of the Internal Revenue
Bureau. The commission examined the
deputy commissioners, chief clerk and
chief of all the divisions Of the bureaus.
The secretary and accountant o: the COM
mission are now examining the books and
accounts Of the different divisions, and are
making thorough investigation OF the
method of doing business in the bureau.
1t is expected that this portion of the work
will be completed in few days. The com.
mission 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 commission in the Internal Revenue
Department is awaited with much interest,
as it is supposed to be an indication Of the
policy to be observed in the reorganization
| OF other bureaus OF the Treasury Depart.
! ment. The commission has virtually uecit:-
cd to max: its Recommendation in regard
to improving the methods Of business and
reduction of force at the close of their in
vestiyaton in each bureau, before begin
ming work in another. 1t is expected that
the commission will Investigate the affairs
OF the sixth auditors Office as soon as the
Secretary acts on their reports on the inter.
nal revenue department. IT is also likely
that the Commission will conclud. TO rec
omnend the transfer of clerks from ar
overcrowded bureau to bureaus where tho
clerkly force is too small instead Of dismis
sing supertiuous clerks in one bureau ant
supplying another bureau with clerks Ger
titled by the Civi! Service Commission. I
is believed, however, that the Commissio,
will report the number of clerks as being OF
the whole in excess of the needs of the ser
vice.

SILVER COINAGE,
Important Points Kei:,tin. to the silver
Question.

Washington correspondent ofthe New
York Ue,ald, writing under a recent date
says:
The Latin Union expires by limitation on
the 1st OF next January, unless it shall be
continued by a vote OF the meeting Of dele
gates to be held in Paris on the 18TH of this
month.
Silver men here incline to the belief that
it will not be continued, and that with its
fall all their hopes of assistance from Eu-
rope in the maintenance of silver coinage
will come to an end. In that case they ac-
knowledge that the United States must
face the problem alone, aud they are con.
sidering plans for that end.
They claim as important elements on
the silver problem in this country:
/. That the people OF the West and
Southwest will not tolerate the exclusion Of
silver from the currency or the cessation
OF silver coinage.
?. That the people demand the continu-
ance OF the small note circulation as Il con-
veniency they will not Go without
3. But they admit that the great mass OF
silver men do not insist upon the present
silver dollar, but would be satisfied with a
silver dollar OF equal value with the gold
dollar. The objection is to the elimination
Of silver.
f. Leading silver men arc therefore cast
ing about for some plan by which they ma,
secure the unlimited coinage, or at least ust
. in the circulation, of silver at a rate which
would make the silver and gold dollar o
. equal value in the worlds markets.
s. The Latin Union failing, they ar
looking towards Mexico, Central and Soutl
America as countries with which they be
lieve this Government might make none
tary arrangements having in view the coin
age OF q silver dollar Of uniform value fo
all those countries and the United State.
Finally they say confidently that tn
y next House OF Representatives. will refus
to stop the coinage OF silver.
