The Secretary then says that the cause OF
his removal as Librarian was his utter unftuess
for the place. He had not in any sense what
might be termed the talent of the Librarian,
and four years have failed to develop the slight
est Improvement in him. His ability is doubt
less sufficient in some other calling but for a
Librarian he has no aptitude. Mr.. Dwight, his
accomplished predecessor. now Librarian of
the Public Library in Boston, had trained
number of assistants, who became very eff
cient. Mr. Bancroft, shortly after his appoint
ment, quarreled with one OF the best of these,
who had been in his place for nearly nine
years, with the result that the gentleman was
transferred to another Bureau in the Depart
ment, and his invaluable services were lost to
the library"
He guarreied with another gentleman in the
library, who was an efficient man, aud he also
quarreled with Assistant Secretary of State
Moore, and if justice had been done he Ban
croft would instantly have been removed
then. One of the functions of the Librarian
perhaps the most important-is that in pro-
mitigation Of the laws. AS soon as the laws
are approved by the President they are de-
posted in the library of the Department of
State, and the first copy is given out by the
Librarian. 1t is absolutely necessary that proofs
be accurately read and the copies exact, and
Bancroft is totally unfit for this duty. not being
educated as a proof-reader, and many errors
wholly escape his observation. and thus, though
responsible for the correctness of the laws, Mr..
Bancroft is wholly unable to guarantee it. He
is man of no tact or skill in directing his
interiors in Office, and the only regret Mr..
Blaine has upon the ubiect is that he has not
made the change in the library sooner.

APPROPRIATIONS ARE GROWING.

In the debate on the Naval appropriation
bill in the Senate last week. Senator German,
of Maryland, made declaration that the
appropriations could not be restricted to any
appreciabe extent by the present Congress, as
they had been unalterably fixed by the pre-
vious Congress. 1t is now conceded by every
body that the sum will be greatly in excess of
the total of the appropriations of the 51st Con-
gress, first session, but Democratic leaders insist
that the SD Congress is favorably situated for
making economical record, because the
heaviest appropriations arc always made during
the first session. But the reverse of this has
been true for many years past. A comparison
of the totals of the bills already passed by the
House at this session with those passed during
the first session of the 51st Congress by the
House mot as they became laws shows an
increase of over 100000 for the present
Congress. The following appropriation bills
have already passed the House: Army Diplo-
matte, District of Columbia, Indian, Military
Academy, Navy, Pension and River and Har-
Dor. The Sundry Civil bill is now being con-
sidered, and the Postofce and Fortcatons
bills have been reported and are on the calen-
dar. The other general appropriation bills re-
naming to be acted on are Legislative, General
Deficiency and Agricultural. 80 that it will be
seen that there will be very little chance for
the Democrats to make record for economy
on these bills,

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

Another fight is on in Washington, this time
between the Knights of Labor and the Inter
national Bakers Union. About year ago
some Of the men employed by 8 boss baker
named Shaeffer became disgruntled at the
knights of Labor, Of which organization most
Of the journeymen bakers were members and
they concluded to withdraw from the Knights
and join the international Bakers Union,
which they did with the approval of Mr..
Ehaeiier. At the last meeting of Assembly No.
1889 Of the knights of Labor, circular was
ordered TO be issued asking the friends Of or
ganized Labor TO boycott Dir. Sbaeffer, stating
as q reason for such action that be was en-
ploying scab labor. Mr.. Shaeffer says ma
jority Of his men concluded to withdraw from
the Knights, and when they did that he dis.
charged the men who still belonged to that
organization, as he did not propose to have two
rival organizations in his shop.

SECRETARY BLAINE TO EXPLAIN,

On Friday May -, the name Of Mr.. Frederic
a. Bancroft was sent to the Senate to be United
States Consul to Brunswick, Germany. This
appointment came to Mr.. Bancroft unsolicited,
and he was not aware of his appointment until
his name was announced in the Senate. Be-
sides this he does not wish the position. Mr.
Bancroft was appointed by the Cleveland Adj
ministration to tho position of Chief of the
Bureau Rolls and Library of the State Depart
ment, and he has filled the place acceptably,
and no complaint, it appears, has ever been
made against him, but, on the contrary, Secre-
tary Blaine has testified to his capability and
the general excellence with which he has per-
formed his duties. It seems that some time
ago Mr.. Bancroft was requested to deliver o
series of lectures to ap Eastern Institution of
learning, being man of letters, and he asked
permission Of the Secretary of State to do SO
before accepting. This was given in writing
When Mr.. Bancrofts name sent to the
Senate it was as much of a surprise to him as
it was to anyone else, as he thought everything
was working we'll in his Bureau. 1t appears
from the gossip going around that Secretary
Blaine wanted to appoint personal friend to
the chiefship of the Bureau now held by Mr.
Bancroft and not wishing to bounce that gen.
tleman summarily he had him appointed Con-
sui at Brunswick. This action the part Of
the Secretary of State IS to be made the sub
iect of official inquiry az Mr. Geary, of Cali
fornia, last week introduced resolution in the
House of Representatives. which recites the
facts given above and states that the nomina-
ton was made without the knowledge or con-
sent of the nominee, and that the Consuship
is not now vacant but is filled by l.. A. Spanld-
ing of New York; therefore, the Secretary of
State is requested. if not incompatible with tho
public interests, to report to the House the
cause of the removal of Mr.. Bancroft, and the
reasons for his nomination to Consular post
not now vacant.

been secured from Kootenai county
for the Worlds Fair. The mounting
was done by soldier at Fort Sher-
man and is a work of art. A good
mounted specimen of the lynx was
also received from the same source as
the cougar. But ldaho's exhibit
would be incomplete without a spec
linen of the moose. This animal is
almost extinct and is protected from
slaughter in all the States. While
the Commissioner for Idaho could not
countenance the breaking of the game
law, yet various suggestions have
been made for surmounting the diff
