A DAY OF RECKONING APPROACH.
ING.
The Lavish Expenditures in the Census
Department.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-For a
year at least hungry office-seekers, if
backed up by any reasonable degree of
influence, rarely turned their eyes in
vain on the census bureau. Com
petent and incompetent tumbled in
at a rapid rate. There was no civil
service reform fence to keep them
out, and every Congressman beset by
an importunate constituent got rid
of him by saddling him on the CEN
sus bureau. AS Congress had made
most liberal appropriations every
thing went on swimmingly. But as
the day of reckoning always comes,
SO it is fast approaching in the CEN
sus bureau. The millions allowed
by Congress have almost vanished,
and a big deficiency is staring the
census Office in the face. To put
this off as long as possible wholesale
discharges have been resorted to,
and the clerks have been fred ont
by the hundred at a time. Natur-
ally enough, prehaps, the outs have
taken up a great jealousy against
the ms, and are inquiring why others
should be favored at their expense.
State republican associations have
passed resolutions on the subject,
and charges are freely made that
rebels and democrats are retained
while republicans only are selected
for decapitation. 1t would seem
there must be some mistake about
this, for Mr.. Porter testified before a
committee of the last Congress that
if he had appointed any democrat to
office he did not know it. 1t is said
the superintendent is very much an
noyed and chagrined by the condi-
ton of affairs. There is, of course,
much more work to be done by the
bureau, and Mr.. Porter will doubtless
have some awkward questions but
to him when he appears before the
next democratic House with re-
quest for more money. There was a
rumor published here that he con-
templated resignation, but there
is believed to be no foundation for
this.

Notwithstanding the juggling tina
Secretary Foster can do with figures
the fact remains that the treasury is
practically empty. A billion dollar
congress is more than even this great
country can stand. 1t will take ten
years of honest democratic rule to
correct the abuses perpetrated by
the last congress.

at SheepShead,

And Won the Second Half Of
the Double Event.
IspEc,A1 TO THE EvrNrNo wonLn. |

| SnREPsHEAD BAY RACE TRACK, july l.
The fact thar Potomac and Strathmeath were
| TO meet In the Realization stakes, at a mile
aud nvc-eighthS, proved a mighty attraction
| at Sheepshead Bay this afternoon.
The crowd OF people that came down to
witness the struggle between these great
horses was the largest that has been seen
since suburban Day.
The boats and trains were crowded to their
utmost capacity, and they poured In through
the gates ia solid stream for two hours.
Probably $4,000 people were ut the course
before the first race was called.
The battle between Potomac and Strath-
meath promised TO be royal one. Both were
In perfect shape. BOth have splendid records.
Potomac was the King uf the two ycar-ulds
last season, and Strat thmnath was not far
behind This year Strathmcath went west
and defeated the crack Western colts In the
American Derby.
Potomac has been out twice, and each time
performed 81 well THAI he was bound to have
many supporters.
II was an ideal day for racing. The weather
was clear and pleasant, and masses Of white
clouds helped the cool breeZes to temper old
Sols rays IN way that put every one In the
most cheerful and comfortable OF moods.
The track was in beautiful shape, as It
should be for the race OF these noble thor
1ushhreas, and II was fast enough for record
breaking.
The programme was an excellent one. out
Side or the Realization Stakes, which IS worth
100000, there was The second edition OF the
Double Event, with HIS illghncss, Victory.
Nomad and st. FlOran all meeting on even
terms at six furlOnES.
The rest OF the programme was good. The
frSt race looked as though Kingston and
Iulla blackburn would have great contest .
The owner OF Kingston, however, would not
accept the crushing weight OF l36 pound,
given TO his horse, and he Withdrew. This
left Tul!a Blackburn to meet Bermuda, stride
away and others.
In the opinion OF the talent It was an air
tight clnch. They made Tulla heavy
favorite at odds on, and thcv confidence was
JUSTIFIED FOR she won IN a CantCr. Stride
away was second and Bermuda filled third
position.
The Double Event proved to be great bot
ting anair, 50 far as His lIighness and Victory
were concerned. Thousands OF dollars went
In on these two, and His Highness finally
| closed first choice.
The favOrite was dOwned, for Victory won
handlly In pretty finish. His Highness Sc
cured the place, while Nestibule. the extreme
outsider, was third, under Hamiltons skiliul
pilOtage.
Fred Lee was played for good thing. He
ran well for halr the distance, and then fell
back.

Mrs. Harrington certainly bears out
FrenChy's laCOntc description. She Is fat and
greasy. She was clad In a sausage-ntting
black jersey and u grease Dedau0ed brown
skirt.
Her jowls and double chin looked as II they
had been crowded out over her collar and a
dainty little round hat, perched on three
hairs, had the effect Of emphasizing her adj
pose.
She remembered Frenchy's call upon Alice
sullivan at < O'Clock on the morning Of April
90. lie had Just been released from Il thirty
day sentence AT the Queens County jail, and
he revelled with the coy Alice for Il long time,
but Mrs. Harrington was sure she knew that
FrenChy did not get the blood on his clothes
while at her house.
She had seen FrenChy several times before
this visit, but not at her house.
Mrs. Mary lIealey was different sort Of
woman. Mrs. Harrington was 25O-pounder
red and round. Mrs Healey was petite, wan
and thin.
Mrs. Harrington was gross and greasy
Mrs. Hcalpy was cute and tidy.

The Jailbirds by whom the possession OF the
knife was shown yesterday afternoon, also
testified that all prisoners were searched on
entering and on leaving the Jail, and no
knives were furnished nor permitted by the
jail authorities.
Detective-Sergt. William Frink, OF Chief
ByrneSs stan, I'm a suit or cool gray that set
of splendid physique, testified with minute
details to his search OF the top floor OF the
East River Hotel for blood.
He had been at Headquarters ten years, and
was assigned to this job on Monday, April 81
three days after the discovery OF the mur-
der.
0'ConnOr's station In Oak street." said the
detective.
81 had previously purChaseda bone-scraper
and hled II down. With this instrument
carefully scraped the aCcumulatiOns from
under every inger-nail on FTenchy's hands,
"These scrapings carefully preserved and
delivered them to DT. Edison, OF the Health
Department" continued the witness. Each
word was articulated, well rounded, and It's
echo permitted TO die out before the next was
uttered.
Dr. IIeidekoper wrote on his pad OF notes,
MOnday-three daysw
Al visl ed the top floor OF the East River
Hotel to look for a trail OF blood from room 81
(where Carrie Brown was slaughtered) to
room 33 twhere Frenchy is said TO have slept
and round It,"
The detectives story OF what he found in
the way OF blood on the door, the walls, the
furniture, would impress one that the place
was like u slaughter-hOusC.
"DOOrman Jaudcs at the Oak street station
turned over TO me FTeRchy's stocking" said
Dctectiye-Sergt. Frink. 81 turned II over TO
