A THlEvINc OFFICIAL.

The Cashier to the SerSeant-st-Arms Of
A.! tho National House Of Representatives
AbscOnds With S.2,OOO-PrObably Conc
to Join tho Canadian Colony.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-FrOm present
appearances Edward SilcOtt, cashier Of
the sergeant-at-arms of the House of
Representatives, has fled, carrying of
S72, 600 of the funds entrusted to his
care.
SilcOtt was \ trusted man who came
here from Ohio, and was appointed by
MI. LeedOm when that gentleman as
sumed Office six years ago. He had
good business qualifications and soon
, possessed himself of the unlimited con-
fidence of his superior.
Last Saturday he notified MI. LeedOm
that he was going to New York and
would be back Saturday night. A
message was received from him dated
New York Monday morning saying
that he had been detained but would
return Monday night. A similar mes
sage reached his wife in this city.
As he did not appear Tuesday Mr..
LeedOm was fearful that he had been
OvertakeE by some accident, but to sat
isfy rising suspicious began All investi-
CATION. The information that SilcOtt
had drawn his bank balance deepened
the suspicious and the inquiry was
could not he opened at the moment, as
SilcOtt had the combination, but when
IN entrance was finally effected it was
found that some 5 $4,000, set apart for
the use Of the paying teller was intact.
The next inquiry was made ut the
Treasury Department and Mr.. LeedOm
was stunned by the result. He was in
formed that SilcOtt had called there
Saturday and had drawn about 1900.
1t was possible for him to draw this
large sum without exciting comment,
as he had for a long time been charged
with tho duty Of collecting the money
with which the salaries of the Repre-
sentatives are paid.
SilcOtt is under bonds in the sum Of
$50, 900, his bOndsmen numbering about
fifteen persons. This is, however, an
indemnity bond given to the sergeant
alarms and Mr.. LeedOm, who is him
self bonded in the sum of $4,000, is
directly responsible for the shortage.
Mr.. LeedOm says that he would have
trusted SilcOtt to any sun of money.
Mr.. LeedOm says that it was within
SilcOtt's power to carryOff not less than
$50. 600 instead of the $1,000 which is
missing. 1t was suggested by a person
standing near that to have
carried off the balance would have
changed the nature of the crime from
embezZlement to theft and have sub
jected the perpetratOr to extraditiOn,
" in Canada, whittier it is already
rumOred the missing mar has fed.
1t is stated that Mr.. LeedOm was
victimized Once before by the immedi-
ate predecessor of SilcOtt, but to an
amount insignificant in comparison
with his present loss.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE War
Department has not been officially in
formed of the death of Jefferson Davis
and has taken no action with respect
to it. \ large oil painting of the de-
ceased hangs on the wall of
the chief clerks room, which i'm
mediately adjOins the office of
the Secretary. 1t is surrounded
by portraits of other ex-Secretaries.
including Simon Cameron, General
SchOield and Messrs. Floyd and Con-
rad. 1t bears the inscription, ''Jeffer-
o Davis, Secretary of War 1851,
Pierce's Administration" There was
no Grape about the portrait and the
flag yer the building, which had al
ways been half-masted on the death Of
an e~x-Secretary, floated In good breeze
from its usual place at the top of the
staff.
Secretary Proctor, seen yesterday
morning and asked what course the
department would pursue i'm regard to
MI. Davis death, said: II see no Oc-
casiOn for any action whatever. 1t
would serve no good purpose that I can
see. 1t is better to let the matter rest
in oblivion, sleep if it will, and to rel
egate it to the past. than to do any
thing that would revive memories
best forgotten"

n Bill Agreed Upon To OrgaDize the Ter
ritOry Of Oklahoma.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-COngressmen
Springer, Mansur, Perkins, Struble,
Peel, Baker and Allen have agreed
upon the draft of a bill for the new
Territory of Oklahoma, and it will be
introduced at the earliest day possible.
1t is very comprehensive, embracing a
territorial form of government, a COM
plete judicial system for Oklahoma and
also the Indian Territory, and also new
town site laws adapted to the situation
In Oklahoma. 1t extends the land
laws to N0-Man's-Land and provides
that the new Territory shall use the
laws of Kansas until the close of the
first session Of the first Legislature.
1t provides for Communication of home
stead entries after eighteen months
residence upon paving Sl.25 per acre,
and, in fact, provides for every phase
OF the anomalous condition of the peo-
pie Of that Territory upon the lines and
conditions desired by them as made
known by the visiting Congressman in
last.
