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

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 poStotfice department, but that he
has practically abandoned the purpose
of any general extension, such as the
inclusion of the employees OF the gov
ernmenJ printing office or the customs
service. All employees now outside the
protecting lines of the civil service
regulations are using every endeayor to
have themselves entrenched against
Democratic interference, but So far
without success.
There is a snag in the way of the eX-
tension of the civil service classification
to the government printing office. 1t is
understood to be 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.
uC OUJSCClOu W IIic eNlCHSlOH VI IHS
service is raised that, ii appointments
are made upon any form of examination
which does not recognize membership
of the union as necessary qualification.
it will result in what the union would
cali ''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
any employment within that class of
persons not belonging to the union.

TRACY's DILEMMA.
Bids for Building a Coaling Sta
tiOn 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 500, 600
was made toward the purchase of the
necessary land for the station, and it's
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, 700, and the Coronado Ma
chine company, OF San Diego, CAL, at
$S4,500. 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, 600.
The QuestlOn-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 i'll question, and

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. The Post
| this morning reiterates its recent asSer-
! tion that certain valuable manuscripts
! that had been placed in the archives of
the state department for the benefit of
the public had been utilized only for
certain parties in Boston. The Post as
serts that the Western writer recently
alluded to who was not allowed access
to these documents was William Henry
Smith. who, though "a man of influence,
of reputation and of learning" never
theless found that uot one of these
qualities was an open sesame to the
carefully guarded records" The arti-
Gle further asserts that while the his
torical papers have been so jealously
guarded from the seeker after infOrma-
ton who was not within the ring, it is
fact that those who had the pull were
allowed not only 30 place all available
copyists at work, but to bring cameras
and photograph page after page OF the
valuable records, penmanShip not be-
ing swift enough. During the past few
years everything that Is of any value in
the department has been carried away
not bodily to be sure. but in facsimile
for the financial benefit of a certain
firm which has been enjoying mon

3r SO after the reaSSembling Of congress
the Republican senators will hold q eau
cus 10 determine upon the order of busi-
ness that is TO be pursued. 1t is the in
lentiOn Of the senate to begin active
work and clear up the calendar as much
IS possible. There are number of i'm
portant matters now before it and some
agreement will be reached at this eau
!us as to the precedence to be given. A
prominent senator said this morning
that he thought the debate on the anti
,ption bill had been spun out to Sutfl-
.ient length, and that there was feel
ng that the measure should be forced
10 a vote. He has always favored the
Dill and now anticipates that within a
week after the senate conveneS the vote
will be taken and that the bill will pass.
There is very considerable majority
# the senate in favor Of legislation that
will correct the evil tue Washburn bill
IS designed to remedy, but the majority
IS not so great in favor Of the particular
measure now under discussion. Senator
Mitchell. however. is very confident that
the bill will pass by clear majority
and that the debate will be ended very
shortly after the senate again gets to
work
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
hot 40 did thinly q I,
Tempt would be made to force those
bills to a vote. In both houses. he
thought, there was 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
Of the law in the senate was sufficient
to withstand any assaults that might he
made on it. This congress. he said. Will
do nothing III the matter of financial
legislation.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 29.-The an
nouncement made by the president of
Dartmouth college that DR.. Ralph But
terfleld, of Kansas City, had left the
college S1S5,000 in will caused much
surprise here. Nobody seemed to know
who Dr. Butterheld was. After a 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 twas found that he
was. an old miser who had lived the life
of a recluSe for many years, and died in
apparent poverty. He kept a second
hand shop OIL Grand avenue. and had
no friends and no acquaintances. His
late neighborS tell many stories of his
penurousness. He would follow wag-
ons to their destinations, and. if the
coal had been dumped and carried into
the house, he would pick up the few
remaining Goals and place them in
basket and carry them to his shop. In
this way he would collect considerable
amount OF coal and sell it by the buShe.
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

general appropriation of S250.0o0 for
coallng stations as may be required to
meet the full expense of the proposed
pier at Pago Pago. 1t is admitted that
the station without the wharf facilities
would be of doubtful utility, but at the
same time the secretary of the navy is
SAID to question seriously the propriety
of drawing upon one appropriation to
make up for deficiency in another.
The matter is now in the hands nf
Judge Advocate General Lemly. and
will probably be disposed of one way or

NO DANGER OF TROUBLE.
The Central American Boundary
Dispute Amounts to Nothing.


WASHINGTON. Dec. 29--The attention
of the Nicaragnan minister in Wash
ington, Senor Don Horatio Guzman,
was today called to d 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 l 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 ut 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
Central America, in fact are interested
in the Nicaraguan canal, and these re-
ports might do us great injury if not
contradicted. There is no truth in them.

There has been a little Wordy discus

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-"As COM

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 8 o'clock tonight, just after he
had returned from IA visit to Mr. Blaine.
A call at the Blaine residence ter in
the evening brought forth the state
ment that iir. 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. H. Manley.
of Maine, who saw Mr.. Blaine yester-
day. viz: That Mr.. Blaine is slowly
improving; that he is still very ill. The
impression that now prevails among
those who have actual knowledge of
Mr.. Blane'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 MIR.
Blaine will ever again be a well man.
All that medical skill, attention and
wealth eau do to proloug his days are

not expect to repeat his visit OF this
evening, and thinks Mr.. Blaine will

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


WASHINGTON, Dec. 90 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 a 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 aScertaining. No two OF their figures
are alike. Since 1862, when the govern
mpnt began to issue paper money. So
S19629, 10S have been issued of all kinds
and denominations up to July l, 1892.
Within the same period $4,S52, ,45l. .629
have been redeemed, leaving outStand-
ing Oh July /, 1892. as a liability against
the government. 1867. III, ,5S9. The basis
for the redemption of this vast sum of
paper varies gold for the gold certifi
Gates, silver for the silver certificates,
$780, ,000 in gold as a reserve for GER
tain notes, and so on. All this money
is kept in the vaults awaiting the pre-
sentaton of the paper for redemption.
But much of this paper will never be
presented.
In an exhaustive inquiry on this SUBJ
ieet made by United States Treasurer
Hyatt it was estimated the aggregate
loss on all the issues up to January, 1883,
would not be less than IS, 100000. This
estimate did not include tie 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, S34 of fractional currency issued
under various acts had been destroyed
and the debt statement as issued,
monthly carries debt bearing no in
terest but S6, 903, 1852 of which is this frac-
tional currency. United States Treas
urtr Nebeker, however, carries the full
amount on his books aud 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 $4,000 was presented for redemp-
ton last year. What is outstanding is
held to a 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 not
likely to be presented for redemption,
approXimates by these figures more
than S14.CO0,G00. A recent estimate pre-
pared in the treasury department places
