THE COAST SURVEY.

An Investigation On the Tapis Which
Promises to Let Day1i ght in to Some OF
the Peculiarities of the Coast Survey Bu.
reau.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Information
was lodged with the District-Attorney
last evening, charging Captain Thorn,
the Coast Survey, and eight of his assist.
ants with presenting and using fraudu.
lent vouchers. Warrants were issued i'm.
mediately to-day and the arrests will fol.
low. This means an Investigation of the
bureau and the publication of the testi.
mony taken in the Investigation of last
year which, for reasons unknown, has
been religiously kept secret. If the
charges can be substantiated, there
seems but little doubt that there
will be complete reorganiza.
ton of the bureau. v. J,
Aughin, who for some time was the chief
accountant of the bureau, and who has
done, perhaps, more than any one else to
expose the fraud, was removed from his
position at the request of Mr.. Thorn, but
was promised better place in the Treas.
ury Department. Itseems that, through
some influence, a place was not given
idea of taking any position that might be
offered him. He sent last night the fol.
lowing letter to Assistant Secretary Fair
child.
GAS / consider that no further con-
nection with this Administration or your
department. could be maintained with
honor aud credit to myself, beg 10 re-
quest that any and ali documents relat-
ing to my position, appointment, transfer
or reinstatement be cancelled, and that

Assistant Secretary Fairchild expressed
the wish few weeks ago that an oppor-
tunity might present itself whereby he
could probe to the bottom of the con-
Germ. and if possible give 1t the necessary
publication. The information is being
prepared with the full knowledge of the
treasury officials, who Of course are very
much interested in bringing about the re-
form.

of construction.
These new enterprises are scattered all
over the South, the most important be-
ing in Alabama and Tennessee. The
number of new machine shops, iron
works foundries, bridge works and SIM
liar enterprises is very large and steadily
increasing. Several new coal mines have
been opened.
During the last nine months the in
dustrial growth has added to the number
of manufacturing and mining enterprises
in The South ~ ice factories, ranging in
cost from $4,000 to $780, 900; Sc fonn-
