SOCIAL, AND MUSICAL

Pleasant Entertainment by the Young
Mems Christian Association.
The members, friends and invited
guests of the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION made UP very fair audience at
the rooms Of the association last even
ing. y programme of more than average
excellence had been prepared, and every
number was filled, together with several
encores. The entertainment was almost
entirely musical, and gave evidence of
considerable care III selection and pre-
paratiOn.
The most noticble performances, per-
haps, were the either duet by MeSSrS.
Buhl and Meyer, and the song by Rev.
Mr.. Stevenson. After the conclusion of
the programme short social session was
held, to which everybody present was in
vitcd.
The members of the association ex-
pressed themselves us much gratitied
with their success, and very hopeful for
the future.
The affairs of the association during the
past three or four months have not been
in an altogether satisfactory shape, but
with the advent Of the new Secretary,
who is reported to be man Of brains and
energy, and who will arrive i'll Sacra-
mento within a few weeks, it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that matters will take an
upward turn, and the good work will be
pushed with VigOr.

Special to the REcoRp-UN1oN.


WASHINGTON, May There is talk in
army circles that Secretary Proctor seri-
ously contemplates abolishing the divi
sion headquarters, and have the entire
army divided into departments, each in
charge of a Brigadier- General, who will
transact business directly with headquar-
ters. This plan commends itself to Sec
rotary Proctor.
According to the present system the
Brigadier- General in charge of a depart
ment deals with the Major-General in
charge of the division, and while the
regulations are such that the same bust
ness can be disposed of definitely by the
division commanders, most of it is for
warded by them to headquarters.
Atpresent there are only six Brigadiers-
General, and eight deputies and two
Majors-Generall looking after the business
of the three divisions, and by abandon
ing the divisions two MajOrS-General-
Howard, who has charge Of the Division
of the Atlantic, and Miles, who has
charge of the Division of the Missouri
would each of them be placed in charge
of department.
1t is understood that Majors General
Howard and Miles are Very much OBJ
their territory and their importance in the
army, and they are using everything in
their power to prevent il. The Brigadiers-
General are rather inclined to favor the
plan. Secretary Proctor leaves in few
days for the West and will visit many of
the posts in the Division of the Missouri,
and it is believed that he will not take ac-
tive steps in the matter until his return
There is some talk that if the divisions
are abolished there will be a change in
the boundary of many of the depart
ments. 1t was stated by a War Depart
ment official that in the event of changes
of this kind, certainly the California De-
partment would not be decreased in size,
nor would the boundary of the Column
bia be disturbed. The chances are that
some territory might be added to the
California Department, and in no event
would the headquarters be removed from
San Francisco, and certainly the Column
bia headquarters would not be removed
from Vancouver.

SECRETARY FOSTER ON FINANCIAL MAT
TIERS.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The whole
financial question will be held in abey-
ance until President Harrison's return to
this city.
Secretary Foster, in speaking to-day
concerning financial matters said, in his
opinion, the Government would be able
TO take care of all its obligations, and that
in addition toS236, 000, 600 Of bonds already
retired by this Administration it would.
in his opinion, add considerable amount
in the two years that remain. Concern
ing the 100000 legal-tender redemption
fund in the Treasury, the Secretary said
he did not expect any condition of affairs
would arise which would make it neceS-
sary for the Government to touch it. He
intimated however, this fund might be
used without legislative action in case Of
absolute necessity to prevent discretiit to
Government obligations. Foster said the
last statement made by Leech, Director
of the Mint was an admirable one. There
are some statements in it, however. which
would have been expressed differently
had he prepared the paper himself.
The first of the steps contemplated by
Secretary Foster for getting the subsidi-
airy coin now in the Treasury into circu-
lation were taken to-day, when the fol-
lowing notice, signed by United States
Treasurer Nebeker, was prepared at the
Treasury Department and Will be sent to
the banks and bankers throughout the
United States: THE coinage of standard
silver dollars authorized by the Act of
February %, 1875 has been discontinued
by the Act of July ii, 1890. The Treas
urer finds ii inconvenient to furnish
them otherwise than in the redemption of
silver certificates or Treasury notes, but
will forward silver half-dollars, quarter
dollars or dimes TO any address, free of
cost for transportation, by express, in
sums of 500 or more, or by mail in pack
ages of so, in exchange for any other
kind Of money deposited in the Treasury
or any Sub-Treasury or depository bank.
Remittances for this purpose will be re-
ceived by the Treasurer and Assistant
Treasurers in the form of drafts on any
bank or banker in Washington, New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, New Or
leans or San Francisco"
