ton, although few may be made necessary
in the War department by the provisions OF
the legislative appropriation bill. but none
have been decided upon as yet. The Treasury
department is the center of the field OF action,
and a general feeling of uneasiness pervaded
the entire building to-day. for there was no

has already done some very effective work, and
the probability is that its edges will not be per.
mitted to become dulled just now on account Of
