Prominent Men Mentioned as Mr.. Cleve-
lands Advisors.
The politicians are still willing TO assist Mr..
Cleveland in forming his Cabinet, and sugges.
tions are also being made by the newspapers
of the country as to the best men to fill the
various positions. Everybody in Washington
is of the opinion that Senator Carlisle, of Ken
lucky. can have the Secretaryship of the Treas
ury if he wants it. but his friends say he be-
ieves he can be of more service to the Admin
istraton by remaining in the Senate AS he has
been sent for by Mr.. Cleveland to come to New
York the second time, it is believed by many
that the Kentucky Senator may change his
mind and take the Treasury portfolio.
There are two other men who it is thought,
can have positions if they want them. These
are Col. William r. Morrison. of Illinois, and j.
Randolph Tucker, of Virginia. Mr.. Morrison
would take the Interior Department. while
Mr.. Tucker would be made Attorney General.
The name OF William c. Whitney, of New
York, still figures in all Cabinet discussions,
while Col. Dan Lamont, of the same State. is
frequently mentioned. Gov. Boies has many
friends who believe he will be given Uncle
Jerry Rusk's position in the Agricultural De-
partment. Ex-Secretary Bayard, of Delaware,
is believed by many to still be in the race for
his old position, and the Southern friends of
Col. Herbert, of Alabama are confident that he
will be Secretary OF the Navy.
Mr. Hsrrity, who managed the Democratic
campaign, and Don NJ. Dickinson. who assisted
him ably. are both believed to be possibilities.
Gov. Campbell, of Ohio. has many admirers
who believe that he would make good ad visor
for the coming Administration, while ex Min
lister to England Phelps. of Vermont. it is
thought will be the New England representa-
tive in the Cabinet. Many more possibilities
could be mentioned, but the above are enough
to show that President Cleveland will not want
advice as to who should help him steer the ship
of State.
DR.. Yoder, Sergeant. at. Arms of the House;
Gen. John NJ. Corse, Of Boston; Gen. Isaac s..
Catlin, Of New York, and Col. Wm. L. Nc
Lean are the most promi nent names mentioned
as Commissioner of Pensions

homa. in which the request is made that the
accumulated interest money to the credit of
the tribe in the United States Treasury be paid
them per capita at once, in order that they may
pay their debts incurred in building houses

The records OF the Indian Office show that
there 10 accumulated interest fund now in

interest. In view Of the purposes to which tho
money is to be applied. the Commissioner REQ.
ommends that $500, 600 be paid to the Indians
at encs In addition to the quarterly payments.
IL 10 believed that the Commissioners views
coiucids with those Of the Secretary. aud
therefore his approval Of the recommendation
10 expected. II II said At tho Indian Of3oe that
this tribe, which now numbers about 1900 has
nearly e. 500. 900 In cash to its credit In the
United States Treasury. and In addition owns
about 1.l07.0 900 acres of land valued at least ct
S IN acre, which, according to numbers, makes
the Osages the ws<hisst community Of any

HELPED HANG MRS. sURRATT.
Death of Principal Witness Against Lin

coins Assassins.
One of the principal witnesses in the famous
Surratt trial. an OK policeman named Lloyd,
died in Washington recently. In the Winter
of 1864 Lloyd rented the old surratt Tavern at
Surrattsvile Md, and when the assassination
of Lincoln occurred he was tbs landlord OF that
hostelry. Mrs. Surratt was frequent visitor
to the estate, as were also Herold. Atkerodt,
and others Of the Lincoln assassination con-
spiracy.
Here it was that rifles. ammunition. and
rations were kept ready for Wilkes Booth when
lie made his escape across the Eastern Branch.
After firing tho fatal shot in Ford's Opera
House Booth went directly to Surrattsyilie
aud then down the river to LeOnardtown,
where he crossed the Potomac to the Virginia
side. Booth was traced to Surrattsville, and
knowing that he stopped at the old tavern.
guard of soldiers was placed about the house
aud Lloyd was practically kept prisoner OF
war for some days. After Booth was shot and
Mrs. Surratt, Herold and others ARRESTED,
Lloyd was brought to this city and confined IN
prison as q witness. He wss the principal
witness against Mrs. Surratt in the trial which
followed Acknowledging acquaintance with
John II. Surratt, Herold, and AtZerodt, Lloyd
said that some five or SIX weeks before the
assassination of President Lincoln these three
men we're at his tavern together. They brought
two carbines, with ammunition, coil of rope,
and a monkey wrench, which they asked him
to conceal. Lloyd demurred at first but Sur
raft showed him place between the joists of
the second floor of the main building. There
the carbnes were concealed. Surratt saying
that he would call for them within few days.
Although Lloyd's testimony was most damag-
ing to Mrs. Surratt and probably condemned
her. he himself never believed in Mrs. Sur
rats guilt, and always said she was victim of
circumstances. Her associations with the real
conspirators he always held, was the cause Of
her conviction. After the war Lloyd settled
in this city, and was one of the pioneer men,
bers of the Metropolitan Police Force.

FAVORS COL. MORRISON.

Representative Cable, Of Illinois, whose active
work during the late campaign materially aided
to Democratic success in his State, was asked
az to the probability Of an Illinois man being
called into President Cleveland's Cabinet. He
said that the sentiment was general that that
great State should be recognized, and that the
almost unanimous opinion was that Col. VIM.
r. Morrison should be selected for the honor.
He himself was heartily in favor Of this selec-
ton. Mr. Morrison was the man who had
blazed the way for the Democratic triumph,
and his great services should not 60 unre.

DESTROYED BY MILLIONS.
How HE Treasury Profits by tho Disappear
of Paper Money.

ance OF Paper Money.
In everything that has recently been said
aud written about the depleted condition Of the
United States Treasury. but little or no atten-
tou has been given the fact that every passing
year the Treasury is a large gamer by the acct
dental destruction oil It's outstanding notes aud
obligations. How much this amounts to, the
best statisticians and most experienced em-
ployes of the Department have no means of
definitely asceTtaining.
United States Treasurer Hyatt, who served
during Cleysands Administration, made an
exhaustive inquiry on this subject and esti-
mated that tho aggregate loss OH all the issues
mp to January. 1SSS, would not be less than
S. 100000. This estimate did not include the
fractional currency "shin. plasters" Secretary
Sherman construed the act of June 81, 1879, as
stating that $S,375934 Of fractional currency,
issued under various acts, had been destroyed,
and the debt statement as issued monthly carries
as debt bearing no interest only st, 903 a62. 81
of this fractional currency. United States
Treasurer Nebeker, however. carries the full
amount on his books, and in his report this
year states that more than $4,000, 600 Of this
fractional currency IS outstanding, although it
has practically gone out of circulation and little
more than 81 900 was presented for redemption
last year. What is outstanding is held to q
great extent by collectors of coin and paper
cabinets. and its value as such Is greater than
its face value as money.
The aggregate OF United States currency,
fractional and otherwise, estimated to have
been destroyed and not likely to be presented
for redemption. approximates by these figures
more than $14 100000. A recent estimate pre-
pared in the Treasury Department places the
sum as high as $20,000,000 This money can
only be taken out of tho liabilities Of the Gov
ernment by Congressional enactment. This
will probably be attempted in tho near future.
The Investigations into the subject have shown
that most of tho money lost has been destroyed
in railroad wrecks that caught fire, though no
inconsiderable quantity has been destroyed by
fres that occurred N country banks postofiices,
and residences

KILLED BY A TRAIN.-When the
5:45 local train from Washington TO
this city was yesterday nearing Four
mile run the engineer, who had just
blown the whistle, saw man fit past
the cab as though he had been struck
by the locomotive. A stop was made
at the run, after which the train was
backed to the scene Of the accident
where the man was found with both
legs broken above the ankles and the
back of his head mashed. The unfor-
tunate man was still breathing, though
and he soon expired.
The body was placed on the train,
brought to this city and placed in the
baggage room. Among the effects
found on the body was an envelope add
dressed to Thomas d. Ryan, Rich
mond, Va, and an express receipt for
Il package of clothing addressed to
Mrs. j.. Ryan, Richmond, Va. A
pawn ticket for razor was also found.
The deceased was about 30 years old.
He had been in Philadelphia for some
time, and was on his way home. He
was tailor by occupation. His rela-
tiyes in Richmond have telegraphed
to hold the body until they reach this
city and take possession oft. a son OF
the deceased, who is a telegraph OPP
orator in Richmond, was in the office
when the dispatch was received an
nouncing the death of his father. Dr.
puryis, the coroner, held an inquest
over the remains this morning, and q
verdict was rendered to the effect that
the death of Ryan was the result of an
accident in which the railroad men
were in no manner to blame. 1t is
supposed Ryan was endeavoring to
cross the track when struck, and that
this movement on his part was caused
by the approach of a north-bound train
on the opposite track.
