THAT MISSING $4,000.
The President Feels Uncomfortable Over
the Sub-Treasury

1he ffesldenb reefs Uncomfortable Over
the Sub-Treasury.
WASHINGTON, January 7th.-A very interest
ing phase of the robbery of the San Francisco
Sub-Treasury about three years ago has lust
been developed in Washington. It will be re-
membered that when Treasurer Brooks was an.
pointed to succeed Mr.. Spaulding, o. P. Snyder
ex-Deputy Comptroller of Currency, visited San
Francisco by direction of United States Treas
urer Jordon, TO superintend count of the
money in the sub-Treasury. The funds were
all right, and the Office turned over to Brooks in
clean shape. One of the first of Brooks official
acts was to remove Cashier Borneman who had
acceptably filed the position for quarter of a
century, and DR.. Ames, brother-in-law OF
Barclay Henley, was appointed Cashier. Hosts
OF Borneman's friends appealed to the Presi-
dent for his reinstatement and thinking that
the service would be improved by his retention
Mr.. Cleveland requested Brooks to reinstate
him.
When Borneman came back into the office, in
stead of insisting that Ames should assist him
III count OF the money, he made The count
alone, and disc )vered a shortage of $1,000
Borneman declared his innocence, and his
friends asserted that Ames was guilty Borne
man left his position, and was subsequently in
dicted.
1t is reported here that District Attorney Carey
has said that Borneman can never be CON
victed, as the evidence of the Governments
witnesses will be discredited. Mr.. Maynard.
who succeeded Borneman as Cashier, lost about
e2,oOO IN about sixteen months service owing to
the incompetent management of the Sub-Treas-
ury, and resigned. Whether or or not his sue
cessor is doing any better is unknown. AT the
Treasury Department the San Francisco Sub
Treasury is said to be one of the most ineffi-
GENTLY managed offices in the country. Mr..
Brooks has asked for detail of detectives to
work up the case against Borneman, but the
request was refused. After the deta cation was
discovered Brooks declared that he would never
make good The money, and with his consent his
bondsmen should not pay it, He holds that the
President is personally responsible tor the defal-
cation in foisting Borneman upon him as
Cashier. after he had been removed and his sue
cessor selected.
A singular feature of the case is that the
President teels very keenly the position in
which he is placed. He knows that no legal re-
sponsioility attaches to him. and that Brooks
bondsmen are responsible for the money which
has not yet been made good. He directed
Borneman's retention for what he considered to
be the best interests Of the public service but it
Is said that he regrets having interfered in any
respect with the appointment of an officer
SO heavily bonded ss is the sub-Treasurer at
San Francisco. 1t is a mystery to Brooks
friends here why he has rot applied to Congress
to be relieved of the loss, which occurred
Though no direct fault of his own.

THE UNION PACIFIC.
Prospect of Another Transcontinental
Line to California.


New YORK. January 7th.-The Herald asserts
that the Union Pacific engineers are actively en-
gagged in looking up routes for an extension
from Ogden west to the Pacific coast.
They have prepared reports on the advan-
tages of both the Fredonia and Beckwith Passes
through the Sierra Nevada mountains, the for
mer being the more favorable.
The surveyors, instead of following the usual
course through the Fredona Pass from Noun
tain Meadows, turned more to the west and
around to Bridge creek
On this route the country is comparatively
level and well timbered. 1t opens up a new
country and does not parallel the Central Pacific
line.
1t continues to Madeline plains, sixteen miles
distant, and turns northward TO the south fork
of Pit river, in the southern part of Modoc
county.
From this point the route will be down the
valley to Alturas, whence one spur will run
north to Oregon and another southward to the
northern end of the Sacramento valley, proba-
bly, along the north fork of the Feather river to
Oroville. 1t is the intention of the company to
complete the line TO San Francisco.
