WASHINGTON. D, c., March Sl,-secre'
ary Carlisle wishes to have the fact an-
nonRced that no one who has been dis
charged from the treasury department
will be restored. Many congressional
friends OF persons who have been dis
missed have called upon the secretary
in relation to the reinstatement OF con-
stituonts, but in all cases Mr.. Carlisle
has announced that no discharged en-
ployo will be reiustated.

The original drafts OF the Declaration
OF Independence and the Constitution
of the United States will not be sent to
the Worlds Fair Secretary Gresham
has decided that tho risk is too great,
and tho precious old parchment will
not bo exposed to the periIs OF the jour
ney and the chances OF mishap while
on exhibition.
Secretary Carlisle is having prepared
n list OF tho employees OF the treasury
department with tho salaries they re.
ceiyo and will have 1t arranged by
states. When completed 1t will show
the number OF employees credited to
each state, tho aggregate salary tho peo-
pie from the state receive, and u column
showing what by the law OF appoint
ment the state should receive. The list
has been prepared already TO such an
extent as to show q great disproportion
among the states, some OF the states
having many more clerks than their
proper quota, and others less. Tho
District Of Columbia Ia credited with
more than 1000 out OF 1000 employees,
when its quota, it is said, should only
he eleven peope. Secretary Carlisle, 1t
il understood, intends, by every means
in his power, to reduce the District OF
ColumbiA's list OF employees, that the
states may receive their proper quota
Of appointments.
Secretary Carlisle was busy to-day,
this being the last OF the month, in
making official changes in the treasury
department He called for the resigna-
ton OF H. @. Mclean, chief clerk OF
the supervising architects Office, and
in his place appointed Charles L. Kem-
per, OF staunton, Virginia. The resig.
nation Of Frank Smith, chief OF di.
vision in the architects office, was ten
dered and accepted. Gen. Daniel Nc.
CNuley, late appointment clerk OF the
treasury department, was appointed
chief clerk OF the immigration bureau,
vice Hall, resigned. Two messengers
were discharged and two Democrats ap-
pointed in their places. One Of the
discharged men had been in his place
twenty-one years.
Treasury officials recall with aatisfac.
tion, in view Of recent disclosures, that
only two weeks ago tho secretary OF the
treasury decided that the government
could not In any way recognize ware
house receipts as being in the purview
OF tho custom authorities. 1t is now
stated that 100000 OF these forged ware.
house receipts arc in circulation, and II
the government had recognized them 1t
would now be partly responsible for
them. Much pressure has recently
been brought on tho treasury depart.
ment to that end.
1t is estimated that the public debt
statement, TO be Issued tomorrow, will
show q gain OF available cash during
the month OF $l,5OO,00O. AS far as the
treasury department is advised, no gold
for export will be carried by outgoing
steamers from New York tomorrow.
