An Alleged Fraud and n Question of
veracity.


veracity.
In the House yesterday Mr.. Glover, of
Missouri, moved to discharge the commit
tee on expenditures In the Treasury Depart
ment from the further consideration of a
resolution offered by him some weeks ago
reeiting that the government obtained u
judgment against Richard ID. Lancaster, of
Missouri; that said Lancaster fraudulently
transferred his property and secured set
Element with the government for $500; that
the district attorney for the eastern distric /
OF Missouri, In investigating the case, de-
manded from the Treasury Department Ger
tain papers required In the investigation
and was refused. and calling upon the Sec
rotary of the Treasury for his reasons for
thus refusing.
Mr.. Lowry, Of Indiana, chairman Of the
committee on expenditures In the Treasury
Department, hoped that the motion would
not be agreed TO, and he detailed CONVEX
sation which he had held with the gentle
man from Missouri In relation TO the matter,
in which he stated to the gentleman that
the committee would be ready to act upon
the resolution during the present week, aud
the gentleman expressed himself as satisfied
with the arrangement.
Mr.. Glover denied that he had acquiesced
In any such arrangement.
Mr.. Lowry said that there was n question
OF veracity between the gentleman and
himself, and he would not attempt to ex-
culpate himself. But he took occasion TO
say that II in future he ever had any inter
course with the gentleman, either OF an
official or personal character, he would take
good care TO have some third person present.
The motion to discharge the committee
was lost-49 to II.

Senator Camden's Indignant Denial.


Mr., Camden, rising to a question of per-
sonal privilege, sent to the clerks desk and
had read an article in \ Cincinnati news
paper (the Commercial Gdsette) on the sub
ject Of the proposed Payne Investigation,
stating In effect that a person who had
just returned from West Virginia reported
that Senator Camden, whose relations to
the Standard OIL Company were well known
Representing that company In the Senate
had telegraphed from Washington that
only six votes were necessary to carry the
Senate for Payne, and that they were
prepared to pay $4,000 each for them.
lie said that he was not In the
habit Of noticing newspaper articles, and
would not do so but that the article related
to matter pending before the Senate, and
was intended to have an effect on 1t. The
article was maliclously false from beginning
to end-false in every particular, false In
every detail, and without any shadow of
foundation. Its absurdity was apparent.
Instead of being at Washington and tele-
graphing from there, he had been at his
home In West Virginia for the past ten
days, returning only yesterday. Such pub
locations were an outrage on the Senate and
and outrage on common decency.

The Reason Assistant Secretary Smith
rendered His Resignation.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury VIM.
e. Smith yesterday rendered his resigna-
tion to the President to take effect on the
1st Of July. This action on the part of Mr..
Smith was quite unexpected to the public,
although 1t has been in contemplation by
him for some time past, not on account of
any disagreement with any official OF the
Treasury Department, but solely because
he has been offered, and has accepted the
position Of solicitor for the st. Paul, Min
neapolis and Manitoba railroad, headquar-
tiers at st. Paul, MINI. The position will
pay Mr.. Smith more than double his pres
emit salary.
It is said that the President will to-day
send TO the Senate the name Of Gov. Hugh
s. Thompson, of South Carolina, to all the
vacancy caused by the resignation Of Mr.
Smith. Gov. Thompson is now serving his
second term as governor. Nothing definite
is known here as to Gov. Thompson's finan-
cial ability, and II he has during his term Of
office as governor Of South Carolina accom-
plished any great financial results they are
not generally known In this city.

New York, June 29.--It is now univer-
sally understood that the upward move
ment ia over for the present, and that the
market at best is being held to catch the
July disbursements. There are, however,
great number OF operators who think the
present bull party are getting tired and that
a sudden break may be expected at any
time, and the utterances OF advocates OF
higher prices have ceased TO be as confident
as they were some little time back. The
market to-day was one Of extreme dizziness
owing partly TO the unsettled condition Of
affairs, aud partly to the absence OF ma
jority Of the large operators. The market
closed heavy at the lowest prices reached.
A great many houses are becoming dis.

commission houses, while not advising
short sales, urge their customers to take
their profits at every opportunity.

A "Set-OT" Against Subsidized Rail-
roads.

ROADS.
The general deficiency bill as reported to
the House yesterday fails to appropriate the
$1,s00,000 estimated as necessary to meet
the expense Of government transportation
over non.subsidized branches of land grant
railroads. The estimate under the head OF
Central Pacific railroad included an item OF
$735, 100 from the War Department for
transportation of troops and supplies dur
ing the present fiscal year over non-subsi-
died branches Of that railroad, and an
item Of $l7l, 1853 on the same account dur
Ing the next fiscal year. The Postofllce
Department also sent In an item Of $6l6,7l4
for mail transportation over the same
branches. Auditor Williams appeared be-
fore the committee and explained that these
appropriations were made necessary by the
decision Of the Supreme Court to the effect
that compensation could not be withheld
from the railroad on account OF service per-
formed on non-subsidized branch lines.
The committee, however, has disallowed
the items on the ground that the real issue
has never been Investigated in court, and
that the government has the right to set off
as against these claims Of the companies the
millions Of dollars annually paid by the
government on account Of interest on the
railroad bonds.
