Some interesting discoveries have
been made at the Treasury Depart
ment regarding the manner in which
the Government has been swindled in
the purchase of supplies for the vari-
Gus buildings owned or leased by the
United States in New York City.
The facts, as far as developed, indi-
cate that collisions have existed be-
tween the contractor for supplies and
the desk in the Treasury Department
by which the Government has been
regularly paying from 100 to 300 per
cent. more than the market price for
the varions articles needed in public
buildings. The investigation now
under way is likely to lead to the res
Ignation or summary dismissal
of the guilty employees of the Gov
ernment. Secretary Manning has di-
rected Collector Hedden to stop buy
ing of contractors and buy in the
open market This step will proba-
bly, involve the Government in litiga-
ion.

Senator John III. Mitchell, of Ore
gon, whose real name is Nipple, left
wife and family in Pennsylvania
came to this coast and settled in Or
egon, where he changed his name and
married again. He was identified in
Washington after his election to the
Senate, and proceedings were com
Inenced against him for bigamy, and
at one time it was thought he would
be expelled from the United States
Senate, but Edmunds and others, who
looked upon polygamy, as practiced
by the Mormons, as misdemeanor,
had no word Of condemnationfor a
Senator who had changed his name

A Pioneer Press telegram says:
commissioner Sparks i'll his annual
report will ask Congress to appropri-
ate 100000 for the payment of the
salaries and expenses of special agents
to investigate the alleged frauds in
the location of public lands, with the
expectation of employing 200 such
agents with the money thus appropri-
ated. If this will not be done, he
recommends that the public lands be
turned over to the several States and
Territories in which they are located,
to be sold or settled as the several
States and Territories shall provide.
This will undoubtedly make the Com
missioner more popular than he now
is in the Northwest"
