superintendent Chase Explains.

GENOA, Neb., Feb. lS.-Lcaring that
there was dissatisfaction among some of Su.
perintendeut Chase's friends in regard to
the newspaper reports of the Indian school
investigation, your correspondent called upon
Mr.. Chase last evening for his side of the
story. Mr.. Chase appeared to be very much
surprised at the report that he was a de-
faulter to the extent of a single dollar, and
claims to be able to account for every dollar
that has come into his hands. lie confcsses
to have msappropriatcd money to consid-
cradle amount, and says:
81 have exceeded my authority in many
cases, but IL has been through my excessive
zeal for the welfare of the school. | have
raised vouchers for the purpose of getting
money for needed repairs, etc, rather than
to 90 through all the "red tape business of
getting permission and appropriations, and
shall be able to show that every dollar that
have thus received has been spent for and on
government property, and an inventory of
the property will show an increased value to
the extent of every dollar that l am short.
The report that have held back money be-
longing to the children is false. | have al
ways advanced the boys money during the
quarter whenever they asked for it, and the
result was that when pay day came many of
them had nothing coming and were dissatis-
fed. No, sir! | have never taken one cent of
the governments money, but have spent
some of my own salary on improvements, and
| go away from here a poorer man than when
| came, as | haven't dollar in the world OK
cept my January salary
Mr.. Chase also stated, that were it not for
the change of the administration he should
feel confident of being reinstated. When in
formed that the reports published were put
in circulation by Inspector Mallett, he was
greatly excited and claimed that the in
spector denied ever having made any such
statement.
There is no doubt that matters are in bad
way at the school and that there is a shortage
to the amount of many thousand dollars, but
whether it has been msappropratcd or
stolen is matter of conjecture.

THE CABINEr STATES.
They Unanimously Agree on Five of
the Eight Portfolios.

the Eight Portfolios.
INDIANAPoLIs, Feb. 1s.-Speculations as to
General Harrisons probable cabinet still
continue to be the engrossing theme in po-
ltical and journalistic circles. The efforts
to name a complete cabinet are widely
variant, especially as to the portfolios for the
interior, justice and agriculture departments.
There is, however, "A harmonious opinion as
to the other five portfolios, scarcely any one
beng found now who is willing to gansay
the present conviction that Blaine will be
secretary of state; Window, secretary of the
treasury; Rusk, of Wisconsin. secretary of
war; Thomas, of Illinois, secretary of the
navy, and Wannamaker, postmaster general.
There is pretty good foundation for coup
ling General John w. Noble, of st. Louis,
with the interior secretaryship. and the per-
sistcnce with which the name of w. II. II
Miller, of this city, is being coupled with the
attorney generalship causes many to believe
that the report has real foundation, but the
best authorities give the department of JUS
tice to Judge Estee, of California.
Nearly all the cabinet makers, for some
reason, have Warner Miller on the slate for
the new agricultural portfolio, and now a
few give also ex-senator Platt one Of the
coveted seats.
Among the callers on General Harrison
to-day were Ex-Governor Redtield Proctor,
OF Vermont who is en- route home from Cali
fornia John w. Dinsmore and }. H. Cheney,
Of Bloomington, H., and Colonel j. II.
Smither, of New Mexico
AT a late hour o-night it is learned that
since the long talk to-day between Governor
Proctor, of Vermont, and General Harrison,
certain and well-informed gentlemen have
slated Mr.. Proctor for secretary of
the navy in place of Congressman
Thomas, of Illinois. The superior
qualifications of Thomas for this position, by
reason of strong and laborous service in the
committee on naval affairs are conceded, but
meagre representation in the east, together
with the fact that Thomas appointment
would necessitate a special election IN his dis
trlct, are being used as arguments why
the portfolio may go to Vermont
Another important rumor late tonight
is that w. o. Bradley, of Kentucky, has been
rendered and accepted the attorney general
ship. Nothing can be done to verify these
reports tonight, however

WADE HAMPTON'S ANGER
wANAMAKER PUTS THE BLAME
ON THE PRESIDENT.

Two Appointments Made by Harrison
That the Postmaster-Generai Knew
Nothing Apout-The Latter Intended
to Keep His Promises and Doing His
Best to Make Them Good.
WASHINGTON, Nov. I4.-President Har-
rison is responsible for Senator Hampton's
indignation at Postmaster General Wanna
maker. Mr.. Wanamaker did promise
Senator Hampton, when Senator Hampton
was here. that ne would not disturb Sena-
tor Hampton's relative Postmaster Globes
of Columbia. until February. At about
the same time he said he would not disturb
the postmaster at Anderson Court House
until February, botn terms expiring at
about the same time. He also promised the
South Carolina republicans that Russell
should be appointed postmaster at Column
bia. and that Mrs. Cocnrane, wife of Sena-
tor Cochrane Of reconstruction days, should
nave the Anderson postotfice.
wANAMAKER MEANT WELL.
Mr.. Wanamaker would of course have
kept his promise all around, but within
short time after they were made, W. w.
Russell, the unfilal son of Col Russell,
postmaster at Columbia, came to Washing
ton, and going to the President (who knew
nothing of Mr.. Wanamaker's promises ap-
parently) persuaded him on the ground
t at he wv. w. kusselD would thus be
helped in his efforts to build up white
Republican party in South Carolina, TO
appoint w. w. Russell, himself, postmaster
a Anderson Court House, and his friend,
Virgil Clayton, postmaster at Columbia,
being obliged to make removals to do so.
HOW wANAMAKER HEARD IT.
When the news got out the South Caro-
lima republicans in town rushed down to
see Mr.. Wanamaker. They did not care
about Senator Hampton's relative, the post
master at Columbia. but they did want Mr..
Wanamaker's other promises carried out.
81 did not know that w. w. Russell and
Mr. Clayton had been appointed" said Mr..
Wanamaker, until you told me. I will
see the President about it." When
he had described his awkward situation
to the President and appealed to him
to help him keep his promises, tae Presi-
dent expressed regret and authorized a
suspension of MIR. Clayton. Mr. Wana-
maker thereupon hung the Presidents
appointments up, and it is pretty safe to
say that they never will be taken off the
hooks. The postmasters at Columbia and
at Anderson will probably remain until
February, when COL Russell will succeed
at Columbia and Mrs Cochrane at Ander-
son.

Why 1900 is Not a Leap Year.

The following explanation will show you
why the year 1900 will not be counted
among leap years; The year is S65 DAYS 5
hours and 40 minutes long; II minutes are
taken every year to make the year 3651S
days long, and every fourth year we ave
an extra day. This was Julius Caesars
arrangement, as explained in Notes for
the Curious in the Republic Of Aug "A.
You may ask: "Where do these II minutes
come from " They come from. the future,
and are paid by emitting leap
year every 100 years. But if leap
year is omitted regularly every one hun
dredth year, in the course of 400 years
it is found that the II minutes taken
each year will not only have been paid
back, but that whole day will have been
given up. So Pope Gregory Kill. who
improved on Caesars calendar in 1882, de-
creed that every centurial year dIvisible by
four should be leap year after all. So we
borrow eleven minutes each year more than
paying our borrowings back BY emitting
three leap years in three centurial years,
and square matters by having a leap year
| in the fourth centurial year. Pope Greg
ory's arrangement is 50 exact, aud the bor-
rowing and paying back balanced so nicely,
that we borrow more than we pay back to
! the extent of only one day in 8 1866 years.

a REVOLUTIONARY BOMB.
1t Explodes in a Boys Bonfire After
More Than 100 Years.
From The 81. Louis Repu6lic


NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-An explosion took
place in the back yard of George w. H..
Andrews, at 100 Ashford street, Brooklyn,
about dusk on Saturday while Mr.. Andrews
was at dinner. Mr.. Andrews 10-year-old
son, Freddie, brought home a rusty iron
ball about four inches in diameter about a
year ago. He and companion found the
ball lmbedded in the ground in field near
the New Lots road. His father examined
1t at the time and concluded it was the end
Of hammer used in hammer throwing
contests. There was a circular hole in the
ball about an inch and half in diameter
but this had been plugged up with lead.
The children in the neighborhood played
with the ball occa sionally during the year.
On Saturday afternoon Freddie swept up
the fallen leaves and other debris in the
back yard, and made bonfire of the mass.
with the iron ball in the center of it. The
| ire burned slowly in the rain at first, but
atterward it began to flare up, and Mr..
| Andrews suggested that the flames were
becoming dangerous. The boy then took a
dlpper, and proceeded to drench the burn
| ing mass with water. While he was doing
this the explosion occurred. It ratified the
dishes on the table, and alarmed the neigh
borhood for blocks around Mrs. Andrews
ran to the door, and met Freddie screaming
on his way to the house. The caild's face
was blackened and burned with powder,
and the back of one Of mis- hands was torn
and bleeding.
An investigation showed that the iron
ball, which he now believes was an old
bombshen Of the revolutionary period, had
exploded. A piece of the shell passed
through rear window into the house of
his neighbor, MIR. Damon, tearing away a
part of the sash, injuring the plaster of the
opposite wall aud Embedding itself in the
studding. To-day Mr.. Andrews picked out
of the fence and off the ground seventeen
leaden bullets, each about three-uuarters of
an inch in diameter, with which the shell
had been filed. The bullets had evidently
been cast in an old-fashioned hand mould.
