GRAVE CLERICAL ERROR.
IL Mnhes DiGerence OF Twenty-Five
millions Ira che Riyer-apd-Har-
har Bill.

The Herdld's Washington correspond
ent says Another diAbolicsl attempt to
wreck the Treasury surplus was dis
covered at the State Department to day.
The river and-harbor bill, which the
President did not sign, was supposed TO
appropriate so. 277, 900. With this sum
even the Greenback party could carry on
its presidential campaign, but instead OF
being 800, 900, 600, the items are found
TO foot up over SAT, 900, 900. This enor-
nous increase is intended solely for Mr.
Blaine's State and the home OF Congress
man Reed, and this excites the gravest
suspicion as to how ii happened. Ii bears
all the marks OF deliberate conspiracy
on the part OF the Republican senators
to wreck the Treasury and further justify
delay in reporting tariff bill.
The item which adds S25. 900, 600 to
the already enormous sum Of So, 900, 600
is for the benefit of the harbor at Back
Cove, Portland harbor, Ne. The
amount intended was S25, 900. but the
law says twenty-five thousand thona',d
dollars. That is precisely the way tue
bill was enrolled and signed by Speaker
Carlisle and President (pro tenn In
gals, and it will have to stand that way.
1t may be alleged that the mistake is
q clerical one. The Supreme Court OF
the United States has decided that there
is no license in constituting acts; that
they must stand as they are passed by
Congress and sent TO the state Depart
ment. Fifteen years ago bill intended
TO admit among other things fruit-plants
free OF duty should have had hyphen
between the words II was omitted IN
the enrolling, and this little omission
put foreign fruit ON the free list, and
millions Of dollars had actnslly TO DO re-
funded 10 importers OF fruit as the
Sapreme Court decided Il was entitled
TO come ia free.
Senator Allison fears that IL an at
tempt was made now TO amspd the river
and-harbor bill the Democratic House
would insist on reducing the bill to one
bali OF what was originally intended,
and that would upset hn table OF figures.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1888-08-24

As he had already ingeniously succeeded
in reducing the surplus to Sf2. 000, 600
upon the allegation that the bill only
gave s22. 0O0.0 IL is evident that there
will be, according 10 this wsy OF getting
at the figures, deficit this ysrr Of over
sI3, coo. This is q terrible comb
ton Of things, and will warrant the
Senate Finance Committee IN protecting
all the trusts in the country by care
fully-prepared tariff bill. .
To be sure the Secretary of War will
never allow more than S26, 900 TO be
spent on Back Cove, but that will not
make any difference TO the Republican
senators in the manipulation of the fig
ures The mistake is good enough for
the purpose OF trying TO throw discrsdit
upon the honest aims OF the Administra-
ton and show that the surplus is Demo-
cratic myth. All this makes the Demo
cratic statesmen very sad TO think their
political enemies have succeeded in
taking away ell excuse for cutting
down the revenues.
The Democrats, however, are deter
mined 10 be revcnged. The spectacle Of
the chairman OF one committee assailing
another chairman was Witnessed to-day
in the House, when Mr.. Sayres insisted
that The Senate amendments 20 the army
bill should not be concurred in, and the
chairman Of the Military Committee hal
to retire 10 get more facts 70 support bis
bill. SIR. Burnes, Of the regular Appro-
priation Committee, also will defeat the
intended appropriation for the French
spoliation claims. and the Republican
scarecrow will probably frighten the
House into rejecting the allowance of

General FIfzJshn Porter's Reminis-
aPnpo.


A New York special says: DWELL. he
ought to be hanged" said General Fitz-
John Porter to-day.
Ee had Just read m account OF the ar-
rest Of Howard Spencer at Salt Lake
City, TO answer Gu indictment charging
him with having murdered Sergeant
Major Pike, OF the United States cay,
in 1859. The General strongly hoped
that the old Mormon outlaw will
reap his Just punishment. The
intelligence of the arreet aroused
"reminiscences of frontier service
and the bloody butcberies that the
followers of Brigham Young visit ~ upon
tho Gentle settlers in those days, but Of
cold-blooded sssassiaStions none were
more deiisnt than Spencer's shooting OF
Sergeant Pike, who was returning 70 the
Salt Lake City Hotel. after appearing at
the courtroom ON charge OF assaulting
Spencer while IN the performance Of his
duties as an officer of the army.

numbering some ten men, that were
commissioned to protect Pike" said
Otnefhl IOrlST, ~ nc vent DNct Tue hb-
tails OF the murder, but we imagined
the Danger was practically over after our
man had been duly arrAigned and enter
ed his plea OF not guilty. Spencer, how
ever, was lying in ambush, and as soon
as he fired the fatal bnllet he escaped
down back street, where crowd of
Mormons bad a horse in readiness.
Now, as regards my chances Of
being subp0ndcd 10 testify AT
the pending trial OF Spencer at Salt
Lake City, L could not appear
as an eyewitness 10 the murder, for the
reason that / had turned the corner and
was about fifty PAGES down the other
street when beard the shot. J ran back
to the SPOT and saw the Sergeant on the
ground, weltering in his blood. He WAS
taken to the hospital and we made an
dnte-mOrtem account Of the nssassina-
ton, which ought TO beln existence now.
If We had been authorized at the time TO
pursue Spencer. or make reprissls, it
would have been an easy matter, for we
had fully 9, 900 men in the Government
service who were ready to wipe out the
whole Mormon crowd"

lUAY'B TACTICS,

Senator Quay left here yesterday tor
New York. 1t is reported that at his
suggestion the Senate Finance Commit
tee will summon the leading Republican
Vorkingmen OF the country TO testify as
to the effect the passage Of the Mills bill
would have upon tho industrial classes.
They hope in this way TO accumulate an
immense amount Of political capital for
the benefit Of the party, which will
be disseminated all over the country,
and especially i'll the cities, in the hope
Of capturing tho vote OF the skilled labor
in the various States. OF course the
committee would select such Witnesses rs
would give utterance only to the Repub-
lican side OF the question. So far from
reducing the tariff the Republican sub
committee are in favor of increasing it
on some articles. Senator Hiscock has
declared himself in favor Of raising the
duty on tin-plate, which means higher
prices for all the canned provisions and
fruits put up in this country.
The Republican Congressional Com
mittee are hard at work at their head
quarters atthe National Republican Club
on Fourteenth street issuing campaign
documents. That old veteran, Colonel
Edward Mcpherson, secretary Of the kx-
ecutive Committee, is in charge, and he
