SUITS AGAINST UNCLE SAM.
Recomme ndations of First Controller
Matthews I'm His Annual Report.

First Controller Matthews in his annual re-
port TO the Secretary Of the Treasury calls at
tention to the act OF March 8, 1887. giving dis
trict and circuit courts concurrent jurisdiction
with the Court of Claims in suits against the
United States. and says that prior to the pas
sage OF this act his Office had but little trouble
in keeping in line with the law as found in the
statute and interpreted by the Supreme Court
and the Court Of Claims, but with all the cir
cult and district judges OF the states and terri
tories added sharp conflict Of opinion can
now aImo.. Always be found upon the leading
statutes which come before the Office under
which money is disbursed. He therefore sug-
gests that the act Of 1887 be so amended that
the several courts shall not have jurisdiction to
hear and determine suits for the recovery OF
amounts in the accounts OF the clerks, mar
shals, United States commissioners, district at
torneys and chief supervisors Of elections; that
such officers shall in the first instance, be re-
quired to die their claims IN the accounting
office for the adjustment and payment, and IN
cases whore they are not satisfied with the de-
termination OF that ONCE they may then be
permitted to sue IN the Court of Claims.
The controller also suggests limiting the
time within which claims against the govern
ment must be pl sntsd FOR payment and also
for the removal of all doubt to the legality
Of double compensation TO officers Of the gov
ernnsnt
He recommends that the register OF the
Treasury and the auditors who are charged
with keeping accounts be required to report at
least once IN each year all balances due to or
from the United States on their respective
books TO the Secretary Of the Treasury, under
such rules a. he may prescribe. Ho makes the
usual recommendation for an increase of cler-
icai force to correspond with the increased
work put on his Office

STANLEY COURTS INQUIRY.
He IL Willing to Have the Charges
Against Him Examined.


Henry N. Stanley said to London Times re-
porter just before starting for America yester-
day In regard to the statements of Lieut.
Troupe and others:
Il intend to make no charges until find
whether the officers of the rear column stultify
themselves by publishing reports differing
from their official statement to me. The Off
GERS OF the rear column are at perfect liberty
to publish any details Of the expedition they
think proper, but 1 do not think that Lieut.
troupe is explaining anything by these vague,
general charges nor by the violent and intem-
perate language he has used.
will he exonerate himself2 You have Lieut.
Iroupes official report Mr.. Stanley"
Yea. and find the same fault with Troupe's
language now that find with his official re-
port which l asked him to modify SO that it
might be fit for publication in my book and
not be an outrage on public feeling. Troupe
declined to do this; consequently decline to
publish the report, the language contained in
1t being Of an extremely violent character"
do you know why the officers Of the rear
column appeared TO be animated by i'll feeling
toward you, Mr.. Stanley?"
Yes; tits very easy to explain. 1t must not
be forgotten that the cause OF tine controversy
Is the violent resentment the officers of the
rear column have against the general censure
cast upon them in my letter to the Emin Pasha.
relief committee, in August, 1888. 1t was writ
ten by me, after bearing the horrible details Of
the wreck of the rear column. ] wrote that the
rear column was wrecked by the irresolution
OF the officers. the neglect of their promises
and their indifference to the interest OF the ex-
petition. l cannot now modify that censnre.
Now. the duty of one aud all Of the surviving
officers is to tell their stories plainly and SIM
ply and the public may have the chance Of
judging whether my view of their conduct is
too harsh or unjust"

THE GALLAGHERs AND RESTS.
Two Families on the Glenwood Road
Have a Row.

There was trouble on the Glsnvood road
Saturday afternoon between the Gallaghers
and the Rests. The former has no liquor
license and the latter has. Rest, while
under the influence Of liquor, went into
Gailagher's place and wanted to purchase 4.
drink. Timothy Gallagher refused to sell
Frank Rest 3 drink and the result of the trouble
that ensued was that Gallagher struck Rest on
the face with a chair.
The two families were represented 10 the Po-
lice Court yesterday afternoon. Gallagher was
charged with assaulIIng Rest and selling liquor
without . license. and Frank Rest and his sons
Fred and Mace were charged with threatening
the Gallaghers.
A dozen witnesses were examined, but the
only thing that Gallagher WAS shown to have
sold was piece of ice, and the liquor charge
was therefore dismissed.
The court said that Mr.. Rest could have ex-
pected no better treatment, although Mr.. Gal
lagher went too far in using chair and for
that he was fined $40.
Frank Rest, the old man, was required to
give 500 real estate security to keep the peace
toward the Gallaghers. and his two sons, Fred
and Mace, were put under their personal bonds.

D'Orieans Falls in Love With Two
Blonde Sisters In Richmond.
From the Hartford Courant.

From the Hartford Courant
The Due D'Orleans changed his cravat three
times day on board the steamer that brought
the distinguished party up the James river to
Richmond, melted thereto by the presence of
two blonde young ladies of that town who were
passengers on the same boat. Etiquette re-
qulred that the young nobleman make no ac-
qua1ntance with the fair sex on that trip.
though the young persons played the ''Bouan-
ger March," the "Marseillaise" and Down
Goes McGinty" all day long on the wheezy
piano to attract his attention.
But when he got to Richmond he showed him
self the man of occasion by becoming &C
quainted with a reporter, of whom he inquired
their names and addresses. The Young ladies'.
as fate would have it, lived on a street through
which the party had to pass en- route to the
battle fields. SO the next morning they were
on their veranda in becoming costumes to greet
them as they rode by. The duke was enchanted
to be recognized, and that night, like any
other sensible young man, appeared, with the
reporter, to call In person on his fair admirers
From that hour till he left Richmond he was
missing from the paternai charge He cared
not for battle-helds or relics. or past associa-
tons, nor indeed for his fair inancee who had
proved her faithful love during his imprison-
ment.
If there had been one instead Of two Miss

revolutionized, but it seems he could not de-
eide where his affections lay, because t'other
dear charmer was never away

heard to plead "Cail me due"
Could this remark be construed as eauiva-
lent to an offer Of marriage from a common
person? He was missing at mass at the cathe-
dral on Sunday morning, he was opposed to

speak OF this bit OF gossip in trifiing way,
but it may have serious consequences; at leas,

which OF the sisters he prefers. for We cannot
believe either would hesitate to sacrifice her
self for the glory of her country,
