Carlisle is busy today making official
changes in the treasury department.. He
called for the resignation of II. G. Me-
Lean, chief clerk in the architects Office,
and in his place appointed Charles f.
Kemper of Stanton, Va. The resigna-
tion OF Frank Smith, chief of division in

appointment clerk of the treasury de-
parUment, has been appointed chief clerk
of the immigration bureau, vice Hall, re-
signed. Two messenges were discharged
and two Democrats appointed in their
places.
Secretary Carlisle is having prepared
list of the employees OF the treasury de-
partment with the salaries they receive,
and will have it arranged by states The
list is prepared already to such an extent
as to show great disproportion among the
states, some having many more clerks
than their proper quota, and others less.
Secretary Carlisle, it is understood, in
tends by every means in his power to re-
duce the district of Columbia's list of en-
ployees, that states may receive their
proper quota of appointments.

TIE SEALING QUESTION.

4 Temporary Arrangement Proposed b.
Russia with Great Britain
LONDON. March 31.-A St. Petersburg
correspondent OF the Times says the Rus
sian government has proposed as a tempo
rary arrangement with Great Britain in
the Behring sea matter the ten mile limit
of mainland coast and thirty miles off
Commander and Robin islands The Rus
sian authorities declare that the taking of
captured British sealers comprised 81 per-
eentage of females, 8 percentage of males
and five percentage of doubtful. Russia
complains that the dispute between Great
Britain and the United States has driven
all foreign sealers 80 the Russian side OF
the Behring sea, thus causing a decrease
of the Russian company's catch from
30, GOO in 1851 to 20, 600 in 1892.

Discussion
PARIS, March 31.-The cabinet crisis is
the topic OF general discussion both in
the press and public Most of the news
papers concur in demanding that the
ministers shall be composed OF new men.
The refusal of the chambers to grant sup
plies for more than the month is regarded
as proof that it desires dissolution de-
ferred until after the budget IS voted and
the legislature can come to an under

SEA COMMISSION.
A Scandal of Sensational Dimen-
sions Discovered.
EXTRAyAGANT EXPENSES.
Members OF the Stan Allowed Extremely
Liberal Perquisites.
Major Halford Is Instanced Who, il
Addition to His Salary as Major,
Is Allowed g15 Per
Day Extra.

CHICAGO, March 31-A special from
Washington to the Record says: Secre-
taries Gresham and Carlisle have
brought to light a scandal of sem
sational dimensions affecting the
staff of the Bering sea commission
now in session in Paris, and adds; 1t is
probable that Elijah w. Halford, who,
while private secretary to Harrison, was
appointed paymaster in the army, viii be
recalled from his present post as disburs-
ing officer of the Behring sea commission,
unless he consents 10 certain material
changes in the condition OF affairs as
Gresham and Carlisle ind them More
over it is probable that the services OF ex-
Secretary of State John w. Foster, now
serving as American agent in the Boring
sea arbitrators, would be dispensed with,
II his recent high position as cabinet
officer did not in some measure protect
him from too harsh criticism and too
summary action.
The story goes on to say that members
of the staff of the commission have been
allowed extremely liberal perquisites in
addition to regular compensation. 1t says
it is not known what Foster receives, but
leaves it to be inferred that quite large
sum in view of the statement that Hal
ford, in addition to his regular pay as
major of 50, 200 to g, 500 per year is al
lowed SIS per day, or in all about S., Go
per year.
j. Stanley Brown, husband of MolIie
Garfield, daughter of the late President
Garfield, is drawing two salaries, one OF
SO the other of SO per day, or So, 125 per
year. Several others receive double pay,
the extra ranging from Sc TO SO per day.

stop. When the train came to stand
still the train men picked up Richardson
in very exhausted condition. He told
his story and the train men went ahead
half a mile, where they found the rail
gone. Had the train been wrecked at
that point the result would have been
very disastrous.
The passengers made up q purse Of 500
for Richardson Many believe the wreck
ers' purpose was not robbery, but re-
yenge on the railroad company for the
discharge of white hands and employing
Japanese.

among the engineers and fremen on the
Missouri Pacific railroad has been brought

charge of a time keeper, nine engineers,

AMBASSADOR TO FRANCE.

The Name of Minister Eustes Will Again
Be Sent to the Senate.
WAsHrNeToN, March BIN regard to
Minister Euste5 and the French mission
it is practically decided to renominate
him to the Senate as ambassador as a safer
plan OF action than for the president to
assume authority designating him as
such under his confirmation as minister
plenipotentiary. In order that Mr.. Eustes
may have the distinction OF being the
second ambassador appointed, it is more
than probable. that his new nomination
will be sent to the Senate early next
week, probably Monday.
