Lieutenants briggs and Schroeder. United

Schroeder is the commander of the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius, and Lieutenant briggs is
one of the best authoritiesjn the navy on
ordnance matters. having graduated at
Annapolis at the head of his class The
sale was cOnsummated in this city last
week, and it is stated that the two invent
ors were paid the full purchase price in
cash. Several of the guns were built at
Cramps ship-yard for experimental pur-
poses. and after being subjected to the
severest tests by English ord
nance experts, the latter unanimous
ly recommended their immediate
purchase, and no time was lost in coming
to terms. As usual in such cases, the United
States ordnance experts could not find any
merit in the gun, and the inventors were
compelled to go out of their country to
have their genius properly and substantially
appreciated.

HOW TO GETFEDERALOFFICE
Recommendations from Republican Con-

A Baltimore Delegations Fruitless Call on
Wanamaker-Priyate Secretary Halford
and the Waifs-Pan-American Congress.


A Congressman's Good VIII Worth Moro
than . Regiment of Private Citizens.
epecial to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Another evidence
was given to-day of the fact that the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet officers intend to fol-
low the recommendations Of Republican
Congressman in the appointment of federal
officers for congressional districts repre-
sented by Republicans instead of miscel-
laneous members of the party or delega-
tions of people in private lite. A hundred
and ten prominent Republicans, headed by
Gen. Adam E. King, from Baltimore. came
over here to-day and called upon the Post
master-general for the purpose of making
recommendation for the appointment of
a postmaster at Baltimore. After they pre-
sented their candidate, the Postmaster-gen-
eral looked the delegation in the face and
smilingly inquired: Are there any more
citizens left in Baltimore?"
''Yes, replied General King, there are a
few women and children left over there"
Mr.. Stockbridge, the newly elected Repre-
sentative of Congress from Baltimore, has
recommended the appointment of another
man than the one urged by this delegation.
Mr.. King told the Postmaster-general that
they desire it understood the man recently
elected to Congress in Baltimore was not
authorized to speak for 100000 patrons of
the Baltimore office in the selection of a
postmaster, and that they desired to take
Issue with Mr.. Stockbridge's recommends
tions
WELL" said Mr.. Wanamaker, you have
elected Mr.. Stockbridge to represent you
in Congress, and shall take it for granted
that you have. by his election, decided it to
be known that he is your authorized repre-
sentative, and it is the policy here to recog-
nlze the recommendations of Republican
Congressman in the selection of federal Of
ficers in their districts"
The delegation left the Postoffice Depart
ment impressed with the fact that Repre-
sentatives in Congress who are held re-
sponsible to heirconstituents for their rec
concentrations will be given the privilege
of naming the federal officers in their dis
tricts and that interference on the part of
private citizens, even though they were
parties to the election of their Representa-
tive in Congress, will not avail much.

HEAVY EMBEzZLEMENT.
School Funds of Jacksonville Appropriated by
the Democratic Treasurer.

Special 90 the Indianapolis Journal
JEEFERsONvILLE, Ind, Nov. 25.-For sew
eral days past rumors have been rife to the
effect that Col. John n. Ingram, one of the
most prominent Democrats in this place,
and until two weeks ago treasurer of the
city school board. had embezzled $4,000 or
more of the city school funds, but nothing
definite in regard to the matter could be
ascertained. as the other members of the
school board and the county auditor, who
were the only ones in possession of the
facts, stoutly refused to divulge anything
for publication. To-day, however, the
Board of County Commissioners took
action in the matter, and publicity
could no longer be avoided. The
board passed resolution this after
noon instructing the county attorney to
enter suit against Colonel Ingram and his
sureties on his official bond, and the suit
will be entered some time between the
present date and the convening of the jan
nary term of Circuit Court ColonelIngram's
shortage is between $4,000 and $4,000. and
the school fund will likely suffer the loss
of that amount. as none of his suretes are
thought tojbe solvent.
Colonel Ingram has been member of the
school board since 1869, and 1t is not known
how long he has been filching the school
funds. Another ugly feature of the case
is that he has not been required to furnish
a bond since 1887; when the law plainly
specifies that the treasurer of the school
board shall execute his bond annually.
which may involve the county auditor. as
it is the duty of that official to see that
such bond is furnished. and also that
it is sufficient to cover any shortage
which may occur. Colonel Ingram ad-
mits that he has used the funds in
his business as tanner. and that the out
lay of money did not yield the profits he
had expected. His bond was $50. 900. but his
bondsmen may escape responsibility by
pleading the statute regulating his bond.
provided that they can show that he has
not embezzled any of the school funds
within the last two years His last annual
report made to the County Commissioners
purported to show that he had $40 900 school
funds on hands, when, in fact, he only had
q few hundred dollars; but the report was,
nevertheless. approved by the commits.
sioners.
A suit is also pending against Colonel
Ingram, j. Johnson and w. s. Jacobs, rs
trustees of Walnut Ridge Cemetery. to COM
pei them to account TO the trustees of
Wall-street M. +. Church, which church is
the owner of Walnut Ridge Cemetery for
funds supposed to be in their possession.

amendments proposed will afford the relief
now necessary and give an opportunity for
proper deliberation before adopting more
radical measures. He does not recommend
any issue of iong-date bonds, which would
defer the payment of the present issues as
they mature, but does favor a reduction of

APPEALED PENSION CASES.

Mr. Bussey's Report of His Work in Adju-
dicating Claims-Csses Considered.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Cyrus Bussey
the Assistant Secretary of the Interior, has
submitted to Secretary Noble report of
the operations of his Office in the adjudica-
tion of pension claims that are appealed
from the decisions of the Commissioners of
Pensions. The process of investigation to
which pension appeals are subjected. says
the Assistant Secretary, is distinct from the
method which is applied to the original
examination of claims in the Bureau of
Pensions. and yet the two are related mas
much as the adjudication of each appeal is
based upon the Commissioners adverse
decision of the claim, the, record and all
the accompanying papers being taken from
the files of the bureau and carefully re-
viewed. This investigation is conducted
with reference not only to the facts which
the evidence may establish, but largely
and to the citation of departmental prece-
dents that may determine the claimants
rights.
A tabulated statement submitted as a
part of the report shows that at the begin
ming of the last fiscal year there were
pending $50 appeals. During the year g. 100
appeals had been filed. making a total of
3.2Ss cases. OF this number ], 1858 were con-
sldered and disposed OF, leaving 1900 ap-
pealed cases pending on July 1, 1889. On
Nov. 1, 1889 this number had been increased
to 2,S0S. Mr.. Bussey says: Much time
has been applied to the examination of mo-
tions filed by claimants aud attorneys for
the reconsideration of appeals that had
been adversely adjudicated by my prede-
cessors. In many instances these motions
have been given special attention, even at
the expense of temporary delay in taking
up claims filed on original appeals from
the Bureau of Pensions, because they re-
lated to cases at law, of fact, and of prac-
tice that seemed to require immediate
action, and in order not only that justice
might be done to claimants. but that the
judgment of the department might be
promptly stated with reference to large
class of claims that had been unnecessarily
rejected. AS result of this course num-
ber of important rulings have been made
with view to broadening and liberalizing
departmental interpretations of the law
applicable to numerous meritorious claim
ants whose applications for pensions had
been unjustly denied. partly because of
barren technicalities and partly by reason
of narrow definition of pensionable
rights" Assistant Secretary Bussey, in
conclusion, recommends that the board of
pension appeals be increased to six mem
