Secrecy i'm the Departments.

GptClal W lHe
WASHINGTON, June There seems to
be something in the report that the different
executive departments have decided to en-
deavor to keep from the public all possible
information as to appointments at least.
There are indications that the departments
have taken recent steps to impose secrecy
upon the subordinates. In the state, war
and other departments it has never been an
easy matter to get information except
from these, who has have been officially
authorized to speak. In the treas
ury and at the postoffice
departments, however, it has been different,
but now the screws are being put on there.
For instance Postmaster General Villas has
issued Oh order to all clerks to give out no
information except by order of the first as
sistant postmaster general so that it has
already become standard joke in the de-
partment, when one asks, chow are you?"
to reply, 81 can't say, you will have to go
and ask Gen. Hay" In the treasury
new order prohibits the giving out of any
information except ''to those interested in

Cholera Spreading.

6p6clal 10 Ine GlODe.
WASHINGTON, June 7.-The marine hos
pital authorities have received information
that cholera is spreading in Spain. Ar
rangements have been made to give this
country the earliest accurate information on
this subject. DR.. Hamilton has prepared a
paper on the prevention Of the spread of
cholera. He sketches the plan of interna-
tional notification which has been agreed
upon, the main features of which
were devised in this country. So far
this system has worked admirably, and DR..
Hamilton thinks it would not be possible to
conceal from this government knowledge of
the fact that cholera was epidemic i'll any
quarter. Consular authorities are instructed
TO use the cable freely to give notice of an
outbreak of an epidemic, and it is not
probable that any ship can leave
an infected port without immediate notice
to the United States. Dr.. Hamilton is a
firm believer in quarantine Of land and sea,
and is very confident that cholera can be
kept out of this country. During last year,
Notwithstanding the prevalence of cholera
in different parts of Euaope. there was not
a single case received at any quarantine
station of the United States.

Hihbs, adopted to realize money on postal
money orders, say that such scheme could
not be successfully managed in commune
ties where bankers were more careful.
The only successful scheme to defeaud the
money order department before the achieve
ment of Mr.. ,Hibbs, was organized
five years ago by an eX-postmaster of Ohio,
who engraved a stone, from which he
printed money-order blanks which We're
filled up as coming from Liverpool, o. and
addressed to a score of towns along the line
of railroads. The forger stopped at every
one OF these places and collected the money.
He was caught before he could col
lect his last order, and is now in the peni-
tentiary. \ scheme to defraud the amoney
order department must be carried out
within week, for the weekly returns OF
the offices would fail to balance should
money be drawn out at one place and not
deposited at another.

WASHINGTON, June with that un-

filth on soldiers graves Mr.. Craig appears
to have thrown away any chance he may
have had to take Gen. Edgerton'S place as
inspector. Everybody tells the too-talkative
Missourian that he may as well go home.
The idea of dishonoring the soldier
element is Just at this time
not popular about the White house.
At cabinet meeting this week the presi-
dent brought up the subject by referring to
the recent discharge of a watchman who
had been Union soldier and the appoint

THE CHAMPION CLUBS.

There is no change in the relative posi-
tons of the different clubs in the National
league. New York is in the lead with Chi
cago close up and Providence fair third.
in the American league st. Louis has a
good lead, while Pittsburg and Cincinnati
are tied for second place. In regard to the
Western league the indications are that it
will not last. Omaha has given out and its
place has been filed by Keokuk, and Cleve
land. it is reported, will drop out this
week. It is further stated that the Toledo
club is very weak indeed; that one of the
catchers has deserted it and that the players
have not been paid anything since the sea-
son opened. The condition of the Western
league is about what the condition of the
Northwestern league. was last year. The
trouble. has come little earlier, that is all.

Extending the BgarEingtcn,

Ever since the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy reached Denver an impression has
prevailed that the next objective point
would be Salt Lake City. 1t has been re-
peatedly asserted that the company con-
templated extending its line from Denver
to Salt Lake City Immediately, although
these assertions have as often been denied
by the Burlington company, and it would
appear as though it was ''coiling for
spring." and steal march Oh its rivals.
There isno question but the Burlington
road is being pushed from Denver to Grand
Junction at rapid rate. The route is via
Hot Springs, Col, 110 miles northwest of
Denver, where the Grand river is encoun-
tered. From that point the route will be
down the valley of the Grand to Grand
Junction. The line will be about one hun
dred miles shorter than the Denver & Rio
Grande, between Denver and Grand juno
ton, and will make shorter route from
Salt Lake City to Denver than the Union
Pacific.
