CIVIL SERVICE EXTENSION.
Many People Will Be Sadly Dis
appointed.

appOIntcu.
WASHINGTON, Dec ga gentleman,
who has talked with the president on
the subject. says that the people who
are expecting large increase in the
classified civil service before the ad-
ministratiOn changes will be very sadly
disappointed. He said that the preSi-
dent is strongly inclined to extend the
civil service rules in connection with
the postoffice department, but that he
has practically abandoned the purpose
of any general extension, such as the
inclusion of the employees OF the gov
ernment printing office or the customs
service. All employees now outside the
protecting lines of the civil service
regulations are using every endeavor to
have themselves entrenched against
Democratic interference, but So far
without success.
There is Snag in the way of the eX-
tension of the civil service classification
to the government printing Office. 1t is
understood to he the desire of the preSi-
dent and of the civil service commission
that the office should be brought within
the civil service classification, but there
is trouble before them in the form of
opposition by the typographical union.
The objection to the extension of the
service is raised that, ii appointments
are made upon any form Of examination
which Goes not recognize membership
of the union as necessary qualification,
it will result in what the union would
call ''rats" getting into government en-
ploy. The government is hardly pre-
pared to declare that none but union
men shall be qualified for employment,
and the union will certainly object to
anysemployment within that class Of
persons not belonging to the union.

TRACY'S DILEMMA.
Bids for Building a CoaIing Sta
ton Too High.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.--The navy
department has encountered another
obstacle in its work of equipping the
coaling station in the harbor of Pago
Pago, Samoa, recently acquired by the
United States. At the last session of
congress an appropriation of 100000
was made toward the purchase of the
necessary land for the station, and its
equipment for the purposes for which
intended. Acting under this authority
of congress, bids were invited for the
construction Of an iron pier, with the
necessary landing facilities, and they
were opened at the navy department
early last week. Seven bids were re-
ceived, but the only two low enough to
justify further consideration were those
of B. Mcmahon & Son, of San Fran
cisco, at S7S, ZOO, and the Coronado Ma
chine company, OF San Diego, CAL, at
$84, 800. 1t so happens, however. that
even these bids are in excess of the
available balance of the specific appro-
priation, which has already suffered
severe drains to meet necessary prelimi-
nary expenses on account of purchases
of land, surveys, ETC., aggregating about
$50, 900.
The question now agitating the de-
partment. therefore, is not so much as
to which of the two bids shall be ac-
cepted, as to the best manner of supply
ing the deficiency in the appropriation.
There are two ways of doing this, one
by asking congress to increase the
| amount so as to admit of the acceptance
of one of the two bids in question, and

CURRENCY DESTRUCTION.
The Treasury a Large Gamer by
the Loss of Its Notes.

The Treasury a Large Gamer by
the Loss of Its Notes.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-In all that
has been recently written about the
depleted condition of the United States
treasury, little or no account has been
taken of the fact that with each passing
year the treasury is large gamer by
the complete destruction by casualty of
its outstanding obligations. How much
this amounts to, what percentage
each year, ETC., the best statisticianS of
the treasury department have no means
of ascertainng. No two OF their figures
are alike. Since 1862, when the govern
ment began to issue paper money. $5,-
S19.629, los have been issued of all kinds
and denominations up to July l. 1892
Within the same period S4, S52, ,451, ,629
have been redeemed, leaving outStand-
ing on July l, 1892, as a liability against
the government. 1867. III, $50. The basis
FOR the redemption of this vast sum of
paper varies gold for the gold certif-
Gates, silver for the silver certificates,
500, 100000 in gold as reserve for GER
tain notes, and so on. All this money
is kept in the vaults awaiting the pre-
sentation of the paper for redemption.
But much of this paper will never be
presented.
In an exhaustive inquiry on this SUBJ
ject made by United States Treasurer
Hyatt it was estimated the aggregate
loss on all the issues up to January, 1888,
would not be less than S6,700,000. This
estimate did not include the fractional
currency-50 cent, % cent, 10 cent and
cent shin plasters--in such extensive
circulation for the lew years following
the war. Secretary Sherman construed
the act Of June 81, 1870, as stating that
IS. .S35, 1874 of fractional currency issued
under various acts had been destroyed
and the debt statement as issued,
monthly carries debt bearing no in
terest but Sc, 1903, 462 of which is this frac-
tional currency. United States Treas
urtr Nebeker, however, carries the full
amount OH his books and in his report
this year states that more than S15,000,
600 Of this fractional currency is out
standing, though it has practically gone
out of circulation and but little more
than 81, 900 was presented for redemp.
ton last year. What is outstanding is
held to great extent by collectors OF
coin and paper cabinets and its value as
such is greater than its face value as
money.
The aggregate of United States cur.
rency, fractional and otherwise, esti
mated TO nave been destroyed and moi
likely to be presented for redemption
approXimates by these figures more
than S14.000,000. A recent estimate pre-
pared in the treasury department places

Large Amount Of Currency

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Withina day
Or so after the reassembling of congress
she Republican senators will hold eau
eus to determine upon the order of busi-
ness that is to be pursued. 1t is the in
EentiOn of the senate to begin active
work and clear up the calendar as much
IS possible. There are a number OF I'M
portant matters now before 1t and some
agreement will be reached at this eau
sus as to the precedence to be given. "A
9rOmlnent senator said this morning
hat he thought the debate on the anti
option bill had been spun out to sutfi-
cient length, and that there was feel
ing that the measure should be forced

Referring to the financial measures
that had been introduced, and particu-
larly those which had the repeal of the
Sherman law in view, Mr.. Mitchell said
that he did not think any serious at
,empt would be made to force those
bills to vote. In both houses. he
thought, there was a large majority
against the repeal Of the act which
authorizes the secretary of the treasury
to purchase silver. He was very posi-
tive that the majority against the repeal

Last Months Latest RenefactOr

Was e Hiiser.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 29.-The an
nouncement made by the president of
Dartmouth college that DR.. Ralph But
terleld, of Kansas City, had left the
college $1S5, 200 in will caused much
surprise here. Nobody seemed to know
who Dr.. Butterheld was. After long
search through the records of the board
of public health the record of DR.. But
terfield's death and his late address
were found. Then itwas found that he
was an old miser who had lived the life
of recluse for many years, and died in
apparent poverty. He kept second
hand shop on Grand avenue. and had
no friends and no acquaintances. His
late neighbors tell many stories of his
penuriousness. He would follow wag-
Ons to their destinations, and if the
coal had been dumped and carried into
the house, ne would pick up the few
remaining Goals and place them in a
basket and carry them to his shop. In
this way he would collect considerable
amount of coal and sell it by the bushel.
He was never married, and nothing is
known here of his antecedents. He
graduated from Dartmouth in 1859. His
property is valued at S1S5,000, and by
the terms of his will it all goes to his
alma mater.

NO IMMEDIATE DANGER.
MIR. Blaine's Life will Be Spared
for an Indefinite Period.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-"As COM
pared with previous mornings the one
lust passed was the best Mr. Blaine ha
had SINCE he was i'll. Tonight he is ae
we'll as he was last night" The fore
going statement was made by DR.. john
ston at 9 O'Clock tonighr. just after he
had returned from visit to MI. Blaine.
A call at the Blaine residence Liter in
the evening brought forth the state
ment that ;ir. Blaine was much
better. A gentleman who has ac-
cess to Mr.. Blaine's room said
this afternoon that the impression Mr..
Blaine made upon him was about the
same as that made upon j. II. Manley,
of Maine, who saw Mr.. Blaine yester-
day. viz: That Mr.. Blaine is slowly
improving; that he is still very i'll. The
impression that now prevails among
those who have actual knowledge of
Mr.. Blaine's condition is, that, while he
is a very sick man, he is in no immedi-
ate danger of death. No one is bold
enough, however, to assert that Mr.
Blaine will ever again be we'll man.
All that medical skill, attention and
wealth can do to proIoug his days are
unsparingly used. DR.. Johnson does
not expect to repeat his visit Of this
evening, and thinks Mr.. Blaine will
pass quiet and reStful night.

The Central American Boundary

The Central American Boundary
Dispute Amounts to Nothing.
WASHINGTON. Dec 29.-The attention
of the Nicaraguan minister in Wash
ington. Senor Don Horatio Guzman,
was today called to Panama dispatch
stating that the boundary dispute be-
tween Costa Rica and Nicaragua was
assuming threatening dimensions, and
that hostilities between the two repub-
lies might begin at any moment. He
said:
That is all wrong, and wish you
will give it the fullest contradiction.
The question of the validity of the
treaty establishing the boundaries be-
tween the two countries was submitted
to the arbitration of Mr.. Cleveland. and
he decided in favor of the treaty. That
settled the dispnte. When the question
of running the boundary lines came up
later some little difficulties have arisen
from time to time in details, but moth
ing of character to threaten war or
anything like it. Both countries-all

recting the committee on the judiciary
to report on the power conferred on the
secretary of the treasury by the specie

Her Connection With Judge BruD =

Los ANGELES, Dec 29.-The text of
the decision of Judge Shaw, granting a
divorce to Mrs. A. E. Brunson from her
husband, Judge Bruuson, has just been
made public. This is the case in which
Mrs. Mary o. Stoneman, wife of Gen.
George E. Stoneman. ex-governor of
this state, was named as correspondent.
Judge Shaw's decision declared that
from the evidence the court finds that
the defendant on or about the month of
August, 1889, willfully and without
cause deserted the plaintiff; that each
and all of the allegations of the plaintiff,
in charging said defendant with adul-
terry with Mary o. Stoneman, at any
time or in any place, are untrue and
false in every particular; that every one
of the charges of cruelty in complaint
are untrue; that the plaintiff is en-
titled to a decree of divorce upon til e
grounds of desertion, but on no othe 1
