Ju'y 4; AOSAs
I To the 7elsgyabH- Courier
call doubts of Secretary Blaine's
condition." said a gentleman con-
nected with the Department of
State, shave been removed by his
directing by wire that all the papers
in number of important matters
pending before the department be
| forwarded to him at once. That
means that the Secretary feels well
enough to resume work and that he
proposes doing SO. From another
source it was learned that Mr.. Louis
A. Dent, Mr.. Blaine's private secre-
tary, is at Bar Harbor prepared for
work, and that he expects to make a
prolonged stay there, which he would
not do if Mr.. Blaine did not propose
keeping him busy.
Secretary Proctor is again at his
desk, having returned from his east
ern trip.
Comptroller of the currency Lacey
says that the assessment which he
has levied upon the stock of the
Quilted Keystone National Bank of
Philadelphia will have the effect of
determining who owns the stock,
because in cases where there is a
dispute the matter will be taken into
court for an authoritive decision.
The guarantee fund of $50, 900
for the entertainment of the G. A. R.
encampment of 1892, should Wash
ington's cordial and pressing invita-
ton to hold it in this city be accepted
when it is presented at Detroit next
month, has practically all been sub
scribed and everybody is enthusias.
tically in favor of giving the veter-
ans such reception to the National
Capital as they will always remember
as one of the pleasantest events Of
their lives.
At a meeting of the board Of
management of Government build
ings held here this week it was de-
cided to send the building commit
tee of the board to Chicago to con-
suit with the Exposition manage
ment concerning the arrangement of
grounds for the Government build
ings. The Committee will leave for
Chicago in few days and Supervis
ing Architect Edbrooke will go
along as the special representative Of
the Secretary of the Treasury.
The judges and employees of the
new court of private land claims, AS
sistant Secretary Crounse of the
Treasury, and Justice Beatty, of Id
aho, will all have to get along with
out drawing any salaries from the
Government until after they are con
hrmed by the Senate, it having been
decided that no money can be legal
" paid to them until that time
The official count Of the money in
the United States Treasury made
necessary by the change of Treasur-
ers, which has been going on for
sixty days, was completed this week.
1t shows that there is total Of
! 5000, o62,537 on hand, which tallies
to a cent with what the books show
ought to be there. This is actual
money and does not include gold
bars to the value of $65,067,74369,
silver bars, $40, 88o,841o5, and trade
dollar bars, $4,484,2o3. Rather a
pretty showing, isn't it, for a Treas
ury which is declared by a few
crack Drained Democrats to be on
the verge of bankruptcy.
The democrats are trying very
hard to make it appear that they
like the nomination of Campbell
and the platform which was adopted
by the Ohio State convention this
week; they are trying to convince
themselves that Campbell vii. get
|enough republican votes to elect
him, but they are not succeeding
very we'll. The national democrat
committee has been appealed to, to
use its influence to whip the kicking
democrats into line anG it has prom
1sed TO do so, but inasmuch as the
the committee has for some time
practically conceded the election Of
Mckinley by laying wires TO capture
the legislature by trading votes for
Governor for votes for candidates to
the legislature it is hardly probable
that it will make any serious attempt
to help Campbell.
The democrats are now on the eve
of big row over the Speakership
It has leaked out that German has
| been working for Crisp, who is now
in he lead, and the friends Of Mills
and the other candidates say that
unless he keeps his hands off they
propose making fight that vii
hurt somebody and they don't seem
to care a continental who it is
Mills has become so Disguised that
he has gone to the sea-shore.
Mr.. Wanamaker has prepared ad
