CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
The Missing Department Clerk Leaves
Lots OF Paper Behind Him.

So FAR as is now known losses on the races
alone account for the disappearance OF Wyatt
A. Wilborn, who was a clerk IN the office Of the
first auditor Of the Treasury.
Wilborn was about thirty-five years OF age;
has been in this city for about seven years,
and was a trusted clerk until some months
ago, when be was taken TO task for some slight
waverings from the straight path OF rectitude.
When he tailed to show up at his desk last
Wednesday suspicion was aroused. and since
then evidences Of his wrong doing have been
piling up rapidly.
Many of hls fellow clerks are losers having
lent him small sums at various times, which be
has failed to make good. When II was charged
that he had forged the name OF

and il thought that the
end OF his faults had been reached This was
soon found 10 be a mistake, however, and now
that the story OF his disappearance has been
made public it has become evident that he was
deeper in the mud than was thought
OTHER ALLEGED FoRGERIEs.
Today number Of checks alleged 10 have
been forged amounting in all to ss56 have been
discovered The largest was a note for $500
drawn on the Metropolitan Bank and supposed
10 be indorsed by Mr.. A. T. Mcmillan, check
OF the miscellaneous division. The forgery
was extremely well done and showed that VIII
born was clever hand with the pen Just
what sum the forgeries will amount
to altogether is not known, as the
returns are not all in yet and most Of the
forged notes that are known of are at least Q
month old. IL is generally supposed, however,
that he succeeded in raising good sum before
leaving the city.
Some time ago he mortgaged ell his prop
erty In this city and has used every means OF
raising money.
A great deal Of sympathy is felt for his un-
fortunate wife and children by the clerks st

THE CENSUS KICKERS.
Frisco's Alleged Padded Returns The
Proposed Recount at ST. Louis, Etc.

In reply to an inquiry from the Census Office
relative to the alleged packing Of census re-
turns in the city Of San Francisco Supervisor
Davis has replied that the defective returns
are probably confined to five districts. These
districts are the ones where it is charged ex-
tensive colonization was carried on prior to the
last registration for political purposes. 1t ID
probable that recount will be ordered in these
districts.
TIE COUNCIL BLuFFs INVESTIGATION.
The superintendent Of the census has di-
rected that two or three Of the best enumerat.
ors who have been employed in taking the GEN.
sus at Council Bluffs. Iowa, be authorized to

from citizens of that place. The results Of this
investigation VIII be reported to the Census
Office tor further action.
PORTLAND O. K
Complaints have been received from the
board of trade at Portland, Ore, that the
census was not accurate. The supervisor ir
that city to whom the complaints was referred
has just reported that he has investigated all
the cas- of omitted names and finds that there
Is no ground for complain. That report will
THE ST. LOUIS sQUABBLE.
The advocates and opponents of a recount of
the population of st. Louis are marshaling
facts and figures preparatory to an assault upon
Secretary Noble, who will have the final decis-
ion in the matter. The enumerators who
counted the st. Louis people have held pub
lie meeting and passed resolutions asserting
that they did their work faithfully and that the
count is correct Figures are also given to show
that the population returns are reasonable. and
it is charged that a recount would result as
the one ten years ago in swelling the popu-
iation beyond its actual figures. When the
time comes to decide this question which will
be when the census officer completes the rough
count. there is going to be lively fight and.
incidentally, st. Louis is going to get a good
deal of free advertising.

chase Of land Of the Omaha tribe Of Indians in
Nebraska.
Mr.. Breckinridge Ky.) made the point of
order that 1t was not in the power Of the
which had passed and been sent TO the Presi-
dent. The bill was in the hands of the Presi-
dent and he could sign it, allow it to become o
law without his approval or to veto it.
The Speaker declined to pass upon the con-
sttutional question. That was question for
Mr.. Dorsey stated that the only object in
asking for the return Of the bill was to correct
an error.
FEARS OF VETO.
Mr. Rogers (Ark. said that he understood
that the fear was that the President would
veto the bill unless it were changed in q GER
tain particular.
Mr.. Cannon ml) contended that the motion
was in order, and Mr.. McMillin argued that
there was no constitutional provision for it.
Mr. Herbert ala regarded the question as
serious one. The resolution provided yirtu-
ally Tor q reconsideration of a bill which the
House had already considered and recon-
sidered
THE sPEAKERs DECISION.
The Speaker stated that the proposition be-
fore the House was to suspend the rules and
pass concurrent resolution asking the Presi-
dent to return bill Such action had been
taken by both houses so many times that il
would be singular thing for any one to deny
the right now. As to the constitutional ques-
ton involved, that was point for the House
and not for the chair to decide. He, therefore,
overruled the point of order.
WITHOUT QUORUM.
Mr.. Cultivate (Ohio) demanded . second

House without quorum.
Mr.. Dorsey thereupon withdrew bis motion
LEAVES OF ABSENCE.
The Speaker submitted dozen requests fol-
leaves Of absence.
Mr.. Dunnell (Minn.) inquired whether the
grant Of these leaves would not leave the
House without quorum.
The Speaker replied that that was a question
for the House to determine
Mr.. Dunneii suggested that the time would
soon come when these requests may be denied
Mr.. Peters (Kan.) remarked that the House
could rescind the leaves at any time.

TODAY's VOTE IN THE SENATE
Why There Was a Disinclinatfon to
Tackle the Tariff Bill just Now.

There would be no significance in the refusal
Of the Senate to take up the tariff this morn
ing but for the names OF the republicans who
voted with the democrats against considering
the bill.
These were chiefly silver men, and that fact
suggests the idea that they propose to see what
is done with the silver bill before entering into
the consideration Of the other question.
SILVER MEN WHO VOTED WITH THE DEMOCRATS
The men who voted with the democr ats
were Allen, Mitchell, Plumb, Squires, Ste wart
and Teller. The silver men are evidently
uncertain about the result of the conference
and are determined to occupy an independent
position until that matter is settled. Moreover,
there is an understanding that the tariff bill,
when i is once up. will consume much time
and it is deemed wise to dispose of
appropriation bills and other measures of i'm
portance before they enter into a discussion
that they do not see the end Of. There are
some republican Senators who are not alto
gether sure that they want to pass a tariff bill.
LONG DISCUSSION IN PROSPECT.
1t may be that the discussion will run until
tho end of the session and then be caught by
an adjournment. II this Is TO happen they do
not want everything else to 60 by the board
also. They propose, il possible, to dispose of
the most important matters before taking up
either the tariff or the federal election bill. and
to have q clear deck when the tariff comes mp.
