NO MORE APPOINTMENTS.

The Cabinet Decides that No More Bonded Of
fees Will Be Filled Until Congress Meets.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. Lit was announced
at the Treasury to-day that there will be
no more appointments of bonded officers
until Congress assemblies. The period still
intervening between this and the session Is
so very short that the Secretary of the
Treasury believes it would not be worth
while to make appointments and have the
appointees give bond, when, as a matter of
fact, their appointments may not be con-
firmed by the Senate. 1t is recognized that
as usual with all administrations, there are
some appointments in the departments
which may not be confirmed by the Senate
and to those Offices the President will
probably nominate new men. This deter
mlnation to make no more bonded ap-
pointments was reached at a recent Cabinet
meeting, and the line of policy announced
this morning at the Treasury was, later in
the day, also acknowledged in the Post
office Department. Except, therefore under
circumstances absolutely requiring imme-
diate action, there viii be no more i'm
portant appointments in either the Treas
nry or the POstoffice departments until
Congress meets.

Exodus from the Capital OF Democratic and
Republican Employes-A Harsh Rule.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Nearly every en-
ploye in the executive departments who can
vote in either of the States of Ohio. Vir-
ginia, Maryland. New York or New Jersey
will leave Washington between tomorrow
afternoon and Sunday night. for the pur-
pose of exercising their franchises. The
trains tomorrow night will bear away hun
dreds Of Republicans and Democrats. for
the latter are not deprived of their privi-
leges now. In some of the departments the
employees find difficulty in the way of OBJ
tanning leaves of absence. This is caused
by a decision of Attorney general Garland.
which was made Feb. "a, 1885, and has been
reissued by Attorney-general Miller. The
decision is that when an employe has
he. -xvriDg the year leave cf absence on
aseooE of sickness for thirty days, he is
nut entitled TO any further leave during
he has enjoyed the regular annual leave
Of thirty days, then he can have leave of
absence on account of sickness for any
length of time the head of the department
may determine to allow. 1t is claimed that
this decision works an injustice, as it deprives
any employe of his regular annual leave in
the event that he should happen to be taken
sick before the leave is granted. In the
Interior Department the rule is that
each emplOye is entitled to q regular an
nual leave of thirty days. If he should
happen to be sick during any time In the
year the absence is not charged to the regu-
lar leave, but q separate account is kept.
