VIOLATED Ill Law.
The Southern Pacific Charged with Giving
Discriminating Rates to the Standard Oil.
cial to the Indianapolis JournaL.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CHICAGO, Dec. 29-Some Of the most
serious charges of discrimination ever
made against American roads have been
filed with the Interstate-commerce Com
mission by William c. Bissell Il Co., of San
Francisco. The beneficiary of the discrimi-
nations is said to be the Standard
Oil Company, who secured q monopoly of
the oil business of the Pacific coast through
rate manipulation by the Southern Pacific
road. The charges are backed mp by posi-
tive testimony of correspondence be-
tween the railroad officials and the
published railroad tariffs, showing that
the Standard secured q 90-cent rate on
shipments from Ohio points to San Fran
cisco while outside shippers were compelled
to pay the tariff rate of S1.25 per hundred.
Other Determinations by means of barrel
and tank shipments are alleged and relief
is pray ed for as we'll as the repayment by
the railroads of the money paid for the re-
turn of tank-cars to the Missouri river.

AFRAID OF RATS"

Union Printers Opposed to Putting the Gov
eminent Office Under Civil Service Rules.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2a.-A gentleman who
has talked with the President on the sub
iect says hat the people who are exp Expecting
Q large increase In the classified civil serv-
Ice before the administration changes will
be very sadly disappointed. He said that
the President is strongly inclined to ex-
tend the civIl-seryice rules in connection
with the postof1ice department. but that he
has practically abandoned the purpose of
any general extension. such as the inclusion
of the employees of the Government Print
ing Office or the customs service. All en-
ployes now outside the protecting lines of
the civil-service regulations are u.s.
ing every endeayor to have them
selves entrenched against Democratic
interference. but so far without
success. There is q snsg in the way of the
extension of the ciyil-service classification
to the Government Printing Office. 1t is
dent and of the Civil-service Commission
that the Office should be- brought within
she civilseryice classification. but there
Is trouble before them IN the form
of opposition by the typographical
union. The objection to the extern
sion of the service is raised that. il
appointments are made upon any form of
examination which does not recognize
membership of the union as q necessary
qualification. it would result Ia what the
union would call rats" getting into gov
ernmentemploy. The government is hardly
prepared TO declare that none but union
men shall be qualified for EN- ploy ment, and
the union will certainly object TO any en-
ploy ment within that class OF persons not
belonging TO the union.

LOST OR

Over s15, 100000 OF Paper Money That
Uncle Sam VIII Not Have to Redeem.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.-In all that has
recently been 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 q large gamer by the
complete destruction by casualty of its
outstanding obligations. How much this
amounts TO, with percentage each year.
etc., the best statistlcians of the Treasury
Department have no means of definitely
ascertaining. No two of their figures are
alike. Since 1852. when the government
began to issue paper money. $50. GIG. l08
has been issued of all kinds and denom-
nations up to July l. 1892. Within the
same period S4.S52. Al. 629 has been re-
deemed, leaving outstanding on July /.
1s92. as a liability against the government,
fy67, III, 4S9. The basis for the redemption
of this vast sum OF paper varies-gold for
the gold certificates. silver for the silver
c-rtiicates. 500, 000. 900 in gold as q reserve
for certain notes, and so on. All this money
Is kept In the vaults awaiting the present.
htion OF the paper for redemption. But
much of this paper will never be presented.
In an exhaustive inquiry on this subject
made ny United States Treasurer Hyatt it
was estimated that the aggregate loss on
all the ISSUES up to January, 1855, would not
be less than IS, 100000. This estl-
mate does not include the frac-
tional currency-tifty-cent, twenty-five
cent, ten-cent and fiye-cent shinplasters-
In such extensive circulation for
the few years following the war. Secre-
tary Sherman construed the act of June u.
1879, as stating that IS. 375. 934 OF fractional
currency. issued under various acts. had
been destroy ed, and the debt statement. as
Issued monthly. carries as n debt bearing
no interest but {, 1908, 49,. CO of this fraction
III currency. United States Treasurer Ne
beker, however. carries the full amount on
his books. and IN his report this year states
that more than S15. 100000 of this fractional
currency Is outstanding, though it has
practically gone out of circulation, and
but little more thnn $4,000 was presented
for redemption last year. What is out
taDdIng is held to a great extent by COL
lectors of coin and paper cabinets, and it's
value as such Is greater than its face value
rs money.
The aggregate of United States currency.
fractional and otherwise. TO have
been destroyed and not likely TO be pre-
tented for redemption, a-pproximates by
these figures more than ST. 900, 900. A re-
cent estimate prepared IN the Treasury De-
partment places the sum as high as so. 000.-
DC0. This money can only be taken out of
the liabilities of the government By con-
gressional enactments. This viii probably
be attended TO in the near future. Investi-
cations on this subject have shown that
most of the money lost has been destroyed
In railroad wrecks that caught fire, though
no uncomfortable quantity has been de-
ptroy ed by fires that occurred in country
banks, postofices and residences.

Paris Anarchists Explode q Bomb in q Hal

PariS Anarcnists Explode q BOND IN D HAL
Near the Prefecture of Police.
PARIS. Dec. GAN explosion, at 1:30
o'clock this morning, in the hall leading to
the suite of Offices between the ground floor
and the first story of tho prefecture of po-
lice caused O sensation. No one was IN
jured, but window were smashed and
woodwork damaged, snd a portion of the
ceiling brought down. The police think
that the ex plosion has something to do with
the recent extTadirion and approaching
trial of Francois, the Anarchist accused of
connection with the Cafe Very explosion.
Fragments Of cast-iron which had formed
abe shell OF the bomb were found about the
place. These were fitted together as we'll
as could be done. and the bomb was fonnd
to have been of sufficient size to contain
two pounds of explosive material. The ex-
plosion was badly timed. Had it occurred
at an earlier hour there is no doubt that
many persons would have been killed.
