WASHINGTON SHYLOCKS.
The Financial Stringency Has Had De.
cided Beneficial Effect ON Them.


cided Beneficial Eject on Them.
The financial stringency has had q
more beneficial effect upon the social
cd "lO per centers" in Washington
than upon any other class of citizens,
says q Washington special. The 40
per centers" are that class Of business
men who lend money to the govern
ment clerks at the rate of 10 per cent
o month, and take orders on their pay,
which they collect by presenting them
to the heads of departments, who
threaten the delinquent clerks with
removal unless they pay their debts.
A few days ago private banker the
bulk of whose business was in this
class of 10 per cent. monthly notes,
failed with over $l35, 900 deposits on
his books. He was perfectly solvent,
too, but closed his doors because, al
though he was known to be pros
porous man, he could not raise in the
city Of Washington the sum of S., 900.
He is entirely solvent now and will
no doubt resume business as soon as
the unfortunate clerks whose notes
he holds draw their August salaries
and are compelled to pay up.
The department officials Are attempt
ing to crush these shylocks out of ex-
istence. Secretary Lamont for instance
has issued and posted in the corridors
| of the war department circular say
| ing that the department will not here
after act as an agency for the collection
Of private debts, except In cases OF per-
sistent negligence or refural on the
part of employees to pay debts con
tracted for the support of their fami'
lies.
Collectors are also prohibited from
entering the building to ply theil
trade. A large class of the business
of 10 per centers Is done with army
and navy officers. and they are regard
ed rs better G ass of customers fol
The reason that courts martial have
depressing effect upen had debtor!
among the officers, as they are apt t.
convict them of ''condu;t unbecomini
an officer and gentleman" and such
conviction is likely to secure their re
moval from the service.

A False RumOr.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. N.-A spec
ial from Caddo, l. T., TO the Star says:
News of q reliable source has just
reached here that Treasurer McCur-
tain has failed, and payment of the
lease district money to the Choctaw
Indians will have to stop. No reason
Is given for his failure. McCurtain
had over 100000 Of money due
Choctaws in his possession, and his
bond is only $4,000. The Choctsws
who have not received their money
are feeling very blue over 1t.
The above is only one Of number
of slanderous reports that have been
started since the payment began upon
Green McCurtain. When the payment
was to be made at Scullyville, the re-
port was circulated in Fort Smith the
same Monday morning that Green had
failed. Green was paying all day
Yesterday at Wilburton through his
deputy, Judge A. r. Durant. This
payment had been delayed for week.
The clerks at Tuscahoma gave out
Saturday and about one hundred and
twenty unpaid persons were told togo
to Caddo next Monday, where they
will then get their one hundred and
three dollars. 1t was probably be-
cause all the checks which had been
signed by Green gave out Saturday
that this report was started. The
telegram comes from Caddo, which Is
near Tuscahoma and where the de-
layed payments are to be made. II
Green had failed the payment would
not have gone Oh yesterday at Will
burton. 1t will proceed to-day at
Hartshorne.
These rumors against him are gen.
orally believed to originate from some
parties who had charge Of previous
payments, but have had no hand In
this pie. Some of them did their best
to induce McCurtaln to accept orders
for money from the Indians. But ne
steadily refused, and this fact togetn'
or with their jealousy, have maue
them start reports upon him. Ofcourse
in partially unsettled country these
rumors could start and receive more
credence than elsewhere. But 1t Is
safe to say that reports against NC
Curtain would very probably be iesi
believed within the Choctaw Nation
than beyond Its borders With these
paymen ts some old outstanding debtl
have been cancelled. Some are said
to have been paid that had been con
tracted fifteen or twenty years ago
when the calico was twenty-five cent?
a yard and spools twenty-five cent?
apiece.

; MYSTERIOUS DROWNING CASE

It is Not Believed That John Sweeney
Committed Suicide.
CHESTER, Sept 12.-Coroner Quimby
is Investigating a mysterious case Of
drowning. The body of John Sweeney,
Of Ridley, was found in the Delaware
river, near the Consumers Ice Company's s
wharf, Sunday morning
1t appears that Sweeney and his wife
had stopped at his brothers residence,
at Seventh and Upland streets, on Sat
urday evening, where he left her to pay
over some money he had for a man.
That was the last she saw Of him. He
should have had $40 in his pockets, but
when found they were empty, which
fact led to the belief that he did not
commit suicide.

SECRETARY GRESHAM has notified the
Chinese minister that by the Presidents
order the "Geary Exclusion law" will
mot be enforced pending further action
by Congress, and that the recent order
for the deportation Of Chinese from the
Pacific coast has been suspended for the
present. Thus one by one the acts Of
the Harrison administration are being
suspended. repealed. till likely the whole
policy will be reversed. The President
was scarcely inaugurated when he re-
called the Hawaiian treaty Such
state OF affairs never occurred before
Even when Lincoln succeeded Buchanan
and began gigantic war ne did
not have to reverse so much legis-
lation as Cleveland is compelled
to reverse. When Gladstone succeeded
Salisbury he was not under the necessity
of reversing legislation. He began at
once to carry out most Of the policies OF
the previous government But even the
members OF president Hsrrison's 8
party are uniting with Cleveland to
reverse and annul the policy that he
promoted. The Republicans will profess
not to feel the chagrin, the ignominy of
this unprecedented course because they
are unwilling to acknowledge that the
Harrison administration was wrong

Mckinley act, the universal cry
against the Sherman act aud the 6 $685.
