The first business of the session was the

The Reclamation OF an Kmcien
Division Chief Requested.

The Resignation OF an Kmcient
Division chief Requested.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-The latest resig-
nation called for by Secretary Carlisle lie
that of W. s. Stetson, chief of the claims
division In the third auditors Office. Mr..
Stetson is an Ohio man and one of the
veteran employees of The department. He
bears the highest possible reputation for
ability, thorough acquaintance with his
work, and moral integrity. His duties
have included the adjustment of claims
for supplies, purchased or appropriated by
the army, for vessels, horses, cara, engines,
and other means of army transportation,
for real estate occupied for military pur-
poses, for court martial fees and travelling
expenses, claims growing out of the Indian
wars and inspired by special acts of con-
gress, claims of states for expenses incur
red in the suppression of rebellion, etc.
The matters coming under Mr.. Stetsen's
eye for many years have been 30 many and
varied that q man who had not been train
ed to their study would have been unable
to cope successfully with them; and the
opportunities for dishonesty were 30 great
that an interruptions chief might have
made o fortune instead of leaving Office
poor. This Is another one of the cases of
purely wanton abuse of his appointing
power by the secretary which are bring
ing disoredit on the administration.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION,

Federal July Interest to be Paid Mex,
MOnday-ReasOns for This Action
A Great Relief to the Money Marke t.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-The secretary
of the treasury has authorized the treas.
urer of the United States to anticipate the
payment of July interest. The public an
nouncement will probably be made to.
morrow, and the checks will be sent ont
on Monday. 1t does not appear that this
action is taken in response to sny demand
from outside sources. 1t is understood
that the treasurer thought 1t would be a
good idea to relieve the money market a
little by this payment, as there is money
enough on hand to enable 1t to be made
without embarrassing the government.
The charge will not appear on the treas
ury department for the current month. It
will be carried as cash and charged against
the July account, just as if payment had
been deferred till next month and made in
the usual way. The idea of the treasury
of more value to the taxpayers, from whom
it has been collected If put into circulation
at once than If left idle In the vaults for
another week or SO.
Comptroller of the Currency Eckels ex-
pressed much satisfaction when informed
this morning of the plan to anticipate in
terest payments. SIT will be very helpful
all around, )" said be- "The banks will be
glad to get the interest on their own
bonds as an addition to their cash ON
hand, and the outside bondholders will
undoubtedly for the most part turn their
interest money in as deposits, thus
"a 4
great good is likely - result from the
public knowledge that so large an amount
of money is to be set free in a few days.
Business men and firms who are really
sound enough If given q little time, but
who are getting disheartened by their hard
uphill struggle, will take fresh courage.
1t is our anticipations of trouble which do
us more damage half the time than the
actual troubles themselves, and any reas-
surance based upon better future outlook
has . good tonic effect on the commercial
