A MINISTER DISMISSED.
The Cabinet Council Of Portugal Removes
Senior CaETd.ho.

LISBON, Feb. G. -A A motion made in the
Chamber 0f Deputies yesterday demanding
the Impeachment Of Senior CaTyalGo, ex-
Minister Of Finance, was referred to a COM
mit,ee. The motion grew ont Of Senior
Carya.ho's action while holding the port
folio Of Minister Of Finance in advancing
to the Royal Railway Company 1900, 600
francs on his own responsibility and with
cut the knowledge Of his colleagues. About
The middle of last month CarvaIho Informed
the Council OF Ministers Of what he had
done and the President Of the Council laid
the matter before the Cortes. The Council
Of Ministers. the President said, declined to
accept any responsibility in the matter and
Senior Caryah0 resigned. The President
further declared his efforts to find a man
who would acceit The Office OF Finance
Minister had failed, and that in consequence
the whole Ministry had resigned
CaTyalh0 aftprWaT1 explained I'm both
chambers the nature Of MS proceedings dur
ing bis term Of Ciiicc. lie stated be az
ranged for payments amounting to 1900
C0ntos Of reis during his period, and when
he accepted Office the only resources avail
abls were 600 contOs remaining from the
tobacco loan.
Senior CarvaIh0 was visiJly affected in
making his statement. He said if all his
combinations for saving the country from
financial disaster had been realized he
would have been hero. He had, however,
he declared, saved the country from bank
ruptcy on three Occasi0us-in June Otto-
Der and January he secured pay
ments on tho coupons then failing due.
After the Cabinet council to-day decree
was issued dismIssiDg DetO CaTyalho, Adj
minIstratOr OF General Customs, from Office
His is one of the most Important Offices
Of the country and the decree has created a
sensation CaTYalhO had great influence,
both with the late and the present King
He also was on terms Of intimacy with
Senior CarYalho, formerly Minister Of
Finance.
H. the Cortes Senior Arriega demanded
the Impeachment Of ex-Minister Carvalho
and the appointment Of a committee to de-
eide whether also the others should not be
impeached in connection with railway scan
dals. The propOs ton OF Arriega was re-
ceived with dead silence, and discussion on
il was reserved.
The action Of the Cabinet in dismissing
from his position Senior CarvalhO, as Ad-
ministrator Of General Customs, was due to
that official cOncealing from the Govern
ment ihe fact that transit dues owed 10 the
State by the Royal Railway Company had
not been paid.

Of the cruiser Charleston. Captain Remey
is relieved from her command and granted
two months leave Of absence. The Baltj-
more is 10 be commanded by Captain Will
lam Whitehead, who at present is on duty
at Boston Navy-yard. He Will leave that
post on the 18th and will take command Uf
the vessel as soon as he can make the Jour
ney across the continent. Both the Balti-
more and the Charleston are at San Fran
cisco.
1t is stated at the Navy Department to-
day that these orders had no bearing upon
the Chilean episode, as the relief Of
Captains Schley and Remcy is q matter Of
rule, those officers having already served
more than the regulation time as com
manders Of vessels. Their times expired
some weeks ago, and 1t was at their urgent
request that no changes were made as long
as there was prospect Of trouble. Their
relief from their vessels during such a
period would have been regarded as rather
severe, unless there was some specific Tea-
son for the change. Captain Bradford was
selected some weeks ago to succeed Captain
Schley in command Of the Baltimore but
his death at Portsmouth, y. H., recently
made it necessary 10 select another officer
for that duty,

Special to The MoENISs CALL

NEW YORK, Feb. Ga private dispatch
received by Charles B. Spahr, one of the
editors of the Christian Union, from Colo
mel c. Harrison Parker, editor of the New
Orleans New Delta, the organ Of the anti
lottery party. says: Owe will push the
fight to finish. 1t is war to the death. We
have no reliance on Morris promises. The
Foster ticket will march on to victory"
Mr. Spahr, who has been following the
campaign in Louisiana, speaking with ref
erence to Norris letter and the present con-
dtion of affairs. says: "UuIess Governor
and a Legislature hostile to the lottery are
elected the business of the lottery company
cannot be brought to an end before Janu-
ary 1. 1895, and would then probably be al
lowed to continue without authorization in
the Constitution. With the State machin-
cry in its hands the lottery might easily call
a constitutional convention and secure re-
charter without submitting the pro-
position to the people. Many Of the
anti lottery people believe that Nor
ris himself, who is a millionaire with
L
and Boston, would gladly give up the fight
and retire from the lottery business with
the fifteen or twenty millions he is reported
to have accumulated; but it would only be
too easy for him to dispose Of his interest
to other men. In spite Of the postal law
SIS, 100000 or S2O0O0.0O0 year come to the
lottery company from other States. Those
who have been fighting the battle against
the lottery therefore appeal to their friends
in other States to help them in the struggle.
The anti-lOttery people of Louisiana have
already contributed beyond their means in
carrying on the fight. The hardest part Of
the fight is just ahead"
New ORLEANS. Feb 6.-Hon. A. II.

the Republican State Central Committee,

tee appointed by Gage is not, in his QeOn-

GRAIN GAMBLING.
Evidence A6duced Before the House Commit

Evidence Aeduced Before the House Commit
tee on Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ga. j. Sawyer of
Minneapolis was before the House Commit
tee on Agriculture again to-day. He de-
Tended the custom of buying OPTIONS on
the exchange to cover possibility Of loss on
wheat in elevators. He said SPECTATORS
carried a surplus for actual eat-buyers
and enabled them to sell their wheat as fast
as it could be absorbed. If wheat in store
was showed forward the market would be
glutted, and cash wheat would fall to a very
low price By buying futures against wheat
the grain could be held in the elevators.
The elevators owner insured himself against
loss
II. II. Aldrich of the Chicago Board of
Trade was asked if spot wheat. which was
wheat which the farmers sold, would not
be higher if futures were done away with.
He said if too much wheat were not sold
the price now might be better, hut in May
it would be lower, and the speculatOr, owing
to the lower rates of interest he paid,
could carry wheat cheaper than the farmer.
Mattullath of Indianapolis next attacked
the dealings in futures. The greater part of
the trading in wheat was done between
October and April, and during that time the
farmers had to accept depressed prices

Oregon People BunCOed by a Smooth
Piano Man.

PORTLAND Oregon, Feb. cit was re-
ported tonight that a warrant had been
issued for the arrest Of Z. ID. Durand, Pres
ident Of the Duraud Organ and Piano Com
pany of this city on a charge Of forgery.
Duraud Is supposed to have left the city
last Friday night and his whereabouts
are unknown at present. About ten years
ago Durand came 20 this city from St
Louis, Mo, and engaged in the business Of
selling organs He WAS very successful,
and about two years ago he organized the
DuTaud Organ and Piano Company, with a
capital stock of 500, 600 This was after
ward increased to 100000. The company
engaged extensively in the business Of
selling musical instruments and had agents
out over the country renting and selling
organs aud pianos. They also sold the
stock OF the company on plan sub
stantially as follows: The buyer would
give his note for $1,000 on promise
that the note would not be disposed of by
DuTand, but would be kept in his possession
and renewed at its expiration If desired
Dividends arising from the profits of the
company. which 1t was made to appear
would DO large, could be applied
by the stockholders In payment
for the instrument he had bought
and also applied to his note. About 5000, 600,
ii is said, was thus raised on notes. AS
soon as Durand obtained these notes he
would either sell them or keep them as COL
lateral TO borrow money on. In many In
stances, it is said, he paid interest on them
himself in order to keep the promlsers
from learning that the notes had passed into
other hands.
The money thus obtained Durand used
mostly IN real estate speculation, which did
not turn out as lie anticipated. He soon
became pressed, and in order 10 obtain
money would pay heavy rate Of interest,
giving the stockholders notes as se-
curity, and it is charged that he
went so far as TO forge names to a large
number Of notes, the amount OF which Is not
yet known. Matters thus continued until
a few days ago attachments were brought to
collect some Of the notes that had passed
into the hands Of third parties. This pre-
cipitated matters, and those who had
first mortgages on his real estate
and stock iorsclosed them. Other credit
Ors gathered up all the pIomissory notes in
existence IN order to secure themselves
from loss Some OF these notes have been
presented for payment and have been pro-
nOunced fOrgeries.
1t is not known just how much money
Durand succeeded in raising in this manner,
but II Is thought at present il will reach the
sum Of 100000. His operations we're
mostly in this city, Clackamas County and
In the vicinity of Vancouver, Wash. The
payments OF the notes will fall heavily on
some, taking in some instances all they
possess. 1t Is thought Durand invested
all OF the money In real estate, and that he
has not a cent at present. Durand is a man
OF middle age, very fluent talker and, as
one Of his victims expressed It, lie could
make man believe white was black. He
was member OF the Reformed Presbyterian
Church, from which he has been expelled
since this affair has come to light

Martial Of Major Overman.
CLEVELAND. Feb 6.-At the Overman
cOurt-maTtial to-day Colonel Gardner for
the accused admitted that Major Overman
recei"ed S234 30 from a firm at Saginaw.
Mich, as an engineer officer, and failed to
account to the Government for it. 1t was
also admitted by Gardner that the major
received sums OF money said 10 have been
received by him IN the specifications in the
first charge. and that he failed to account
therefor; but tile fact of such retention of
funds was unlawful or that the money was
intended for military service is denied.
Several witnesses were then examined.

the Third Auditors Office, was called as
witness in regard to the charge that Over

cused of buying cambric from LampsOn
Bros of Toledo tor So 90, and charging it TO
the Government as SD 90, the item in

as OYeTman's cOachman.
Treasurer StOrer, of the WorthingtOn
Company, identified the Worthugton
voucher and said on the date given neither
the Government nor Overman were indebted
