Investigating the Bureaus.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The treasury
inquiry commission. of which Assistant
Secretary Fairchild is president,
virtually concluded the inspection of
the Internal Revenue Bureau. The
commission examined the deputy
commissioners, the chief clerk
and chiefs of all the divi-
sions of bureaus. The secretary and
accountant of the commission are now
examining the books and accounts of
the different divisions and making a
thorough investigation of the method
OF doing business in the bureau. 1t is
expected this portion of the work will
be completed in few DAYS. The COM
mission will then be in possession of all
data necessary for the prepara-
ton of their report to the Secre
tary. The result of the work
of the commission in the Internal Bu-
reau is awaited with much interest, as
it is supposed to give an indication of
the policy to be observed IN the reorg-
nlzation of other bureaus of the Treas
ury department. The commission vir-
tually decided to make its recommends
ton IN regard to improving the methods
of business and reductions of
force at the close of their
investigations in each bureau
before beginning work in another. 1t
is expected the commission will invest i
gate the affairs of the auditor IS office, as
soon as the secretary shall have acted
on their report on the Internal Revenue
Bureau. 1t is also likely that the COM
mission will conclude to recommend
transfer of clerks from overcrowded
bureaus to bureaus where the clerical
force is too mall, instead of dismissing
the superhuous clerks in one bereau
and supplying another bureau with
clerks certified by the Civil Service COM
mission. 1t is believed, however, that
the commission VIII report the number
of clerks as being, on the whole, in ex-
cess Of the needs of the service.

LONDON, April 24.-In the House of
Commons, this afternoon, M. Labou-
chere and Mr.. Richard, both radicals,
asked whether or not government be-
fore deciding to go to war with Russia,
would seek the offices of a friendly
power to obtain 4 peaceable settler ent.

as, however, every answer made by
the government to interrogatorieS put

Gladstone said, decided it was neither
advisable nor convenient TO make
declarations to Russia through Parlia-
ment.
Gladstone's announcement to the
House of Commons that Barrere, French
Consul General, had left Cairo was cor

that the Premier's statement

since been found to have been erroneous.

The Neutrality Law Breaker.

New York, April 2.-The examina-
ton in the case of Captain John o 'Brien,
of the Provincial Steamship Company's
steamer City of Merico, who was ar
rested yesterday for violating the
neutrality laws by delivering munitions
of war to the rebels against the govern
ment of the United States of Colombia
at Port Savanillo. began to-day before
the United States Commissioner
John c. Austin, of Austin & Lord, the
brokers of the City of McricO, was ex-
amined. He said the steamer was
chartered by Perez & Williams, of this
city, to carry cargo, including arms,
to the correspondents of Meirs, in Saw
anillo. Witness did not know there
was an actual instruction going on
and that there were hostilities between
the government and the insurgents in
the United States of Colombia He
thought it was dispute between par
ties something ike the fight
between the Democrats and
Republicans in New York. The
men who boarded the steamer
at Sayanillo. and proceeded 10 Rio
Hacha were passengers, he said, and his
account of the episode at Rio Hachs
was that the Colombian authorities
boarded the steamer and arrested the
passengers. which brought protest
from Captain O'Brien.
John Mccarthy, mate of the City Of
erico, testified that when he shipped
he understood the voyage was to
Kingston and return. On March 18th,
while in Erie Basin, the vessel was
loaded with arms and ammunition. Two
Spaniards got aboard, also. One of them
said he was q brother of the revolution
airy President OF Colombia. During the
passage packages of arms became loos-
ened and aroused the suspicious of the
crew. The vessel reached Savanillo on
March 21st. The captain was ashore
four days. and on March 2Sth 200 officers
and men, armed and uniformed were
taken aboard. The steamer sailed at
once. At Rio Hacha, which was
reached next day, the port officers
came out to see the ships papers and
were taken prisoners by the soldiers.
The steamer was flying the American
flag. Mccarthy testified that he and
the crew objected to that sort of thing,
but witness was afraid that he would
be shot if he interfeIed seriously. The
steamer then cruised down the coast
and bore down upon schooner, by or
der of the general commanding the
troops. Mccarthy says he Informed the
fireman and crew of what was
being done and then returned to the
general with an American flag in his
hand, saying: "We all are American
citizens, and we will be damned if we
are going to capture that vessel. It's
nothing but piracy" The capture was
not made, and the following day the
troops disembarked at Savanillo.
The seven prisoners taken from the
port officers boat were sent to Barren
guella. They said the United States
would have to make reparation. The
City of Mexico then proceeded to Boca
Del Zorro, where she. loaded with fruit
and returned to New York.
Captain O'Brien was to-day bailed in
$1,000. The steamship will be libelled
by the government.

civilians might leave the fort in safety.
Anxious for the women and children,
Mclean accepted Big Bears terms

Freight Rate Cutting.

CHICAGO, April 24.-The most aggres-
,ive action so far, in connection with the
gestern freight rate war, was taken to-
dav by the Rock Island road. 1t made
q fiat reduction of 40 per cent. on all
classes to st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Minnesota transfer points, placing the
tariff on first class at 80 cents.
This cut was promptly met
by the St. Paul, Burlington
and Northwestern. The frst-named
road, however, is not quoting the cut
openly. Though the most important
cut yet made il rates on westbound
freight, 1t created no surprise, having
been anticipated for a number of days.
It is known here that a contract for
80 cars of wheat has been made for
Shipment east at the lucent rate.
It's understood that this will mostly

The Michigan Central is also said to be
accessible to shippers at the lucent rate

EASTERN trunk lines are thoroughly

General was wakeful until about L

the usual amount of morphia was ad

he has been associated with his father
