WASHINGTON, May 1.-The
President to~day appointed j.
Hampton Hoge, of Virginia, United
States Consul at Annoy, China, vice
Edward Bedioe, OF Philadelphia;
and Jno. Mitchell, Of Texas, Coils
lector of Customs for the District
of Brazos de Santiago.
Secretay Carlisle tozday set aside
the decisions Of six Of his predeces-
sors and decided that the statute of
1874, known as the Anti-Moiety
Act Except in cases Of smuggling),
debars all officers Of the y, S. from
receiving moiety, OR informer's
share of fine, on account of infors
nation given in reference to the
violations of the statutes, The sub
ject came up through the collector
of customs at Cape Charles City
asking that fines imposed on ten
oyster beats for technical violation
of the law, be remitted, Transmits
ting at the same time the claim OF
Lieutenants Daniels and Henderson
of the Revenue Gutter Crawford
for moiety in connection with the
seizure of the oyster vessels, The
vessels at the time of seizure were
lying at anchor in Targier Sound,
near Onancock, Virginia. They
had no lights displayed, Secretary
Carlisle, after careful examination
of the statute, became satisfied tha
the revenue marine officers were
/! debarred from receiving moiety as
informers; but in view of the nuns
erous decisions of his predecessors
submitted the question to the At
, torney-General, Attorney General
J, Olney, after reviewing the case,
gives it as his opinion that the stat
ute of 1874 clearly debarred an
officer of the marine service from
receiving moiety, or ali informer's
share Of fine, and tosday Secretary
Carlisle adopted that opinion. The
significance of this decision is
understood to be general tighten
ing of the Treasury purse strings,
and requirement. hat auditors, ac-
counting officers and others shall
not accep precedents for their guild,
ance. but specify the law in accords
) ance with the principles laid down
in this decision.
Secretary Carlisle tosday instructed
collectors, OF customs and other
Government officers to disregard
all former opinions and rulings oi
the Treasury Department on the
/. subject of moieties and be governed
e in future by this decision,

WALL STREET ANGERED.

The Indicator, published on
Wall Street and the only daily
financial paper in the country. has
the following in its issue OF the day
after the recent crash:
.sStccks were sold on yesterday
on the continued drastic influence
of Sherman law talk, and, as it is a
subject that the maj ority of men
know nothing o., the scare senti-
ment is al powerful. So far as the
law and it's actual workings are
concerned, there is nothing IN it
unfaYorab:e mp to the present
time.
"Sentiment, however, is against
the law, but mostly SO because OF
the dense ignorance Of the men who
have to do, not with financial, bat
with husbandry. The sharks, how
ever, keep their fins above water,
and the scare is on, but none OF
the silver bought under the law for
mapy months cost more than the
gold value.
I'VE advocated many times re-
Gently that the Secretary Of the
Treasury sell his silver for gold in
Europe, Every specie shipper on
Wall street knows he can make a
profit by sending silver TO London
and getting his pay in gold. The
price of silver there paid in gold is
to l cent more than in this mar
ket.
"7'hen, again, the Street, b. a
large majority, thinks that if the
Govern rent buys Il million onaces
of silver that a million dollars OF
certificates ale issued, instead OF
which only $4,000 is issued, SO
every silver certificate is worth a
gold dollar, as the amount of certie
ticate is worth is at the gold
value Of the silver bought,
"The whole cry against the
workings of the silver law is false
There is Eolitical plot in the
whole business. and its oFganizors
are not citizens of America. Learn,
ing political economy from Eng

All OF which seems to mean tina
while the Sherman law should b'
repealed, as Mr.. Cleveland insists
that in fact its operation has no
been injurious to the finances o
the country, or in plain English
the panickly financial situation O

NEW ORLEANS, May 1.-The
first crevasse of the season occurred
to.day. Information was received
this morning of the breaking of the

from the break will flow into the
Black river and Tensas basiu. Both
streams are low and may be able
to carry off the the water of the
crevasse. Ii they are unable to do
this, there will probably be cons

Another political debt incurred
during the campaign was settled
by the appointment of J. F. Till
man, of Tenn, to be- register OF
the treasury. Mr.. Tillman was
promised a good place If he would
use his influence as secretary of
the Tennessee Farmers Alliance
to head off the populists in that
state and prevent their absorbing
the alliance. "he promise was
made by Senator German, but
the good place" was not forth
coming until almost a row was
kicked up by Tlllman and his
friends. This is the position
which Gen. RosecransWas allowed
to keep during the entire Harrison
administration. His health COM
pelled HIM to resign it few
weeks ago. Mr.. Cleveland was
either misrepresented Or he broke
his word in connection with this
office, as he was reported to have
said weeks ago that no one but an
old soldier should have it. Mr..
Tillman isn't an old soldier.
1t is announced that the ad-
ministration is determined that
members of the Metropolitan po
lice Of this city who are drawing
pensions shall either give up their
pension or their positions as po-
licemen. 1t has not yet, how
ever, determined that the demo-
cratic member of the cabinet, the
democratic senators and the dem
ocratic representatives who are
drawing pensions shall give up
their pensions or their Offices.
The pension pretensions of this
administration are in line with its
numerous other pretensions.

A Joliet, LII. paper tells little

connection of the democratic
party with the present condition

resumed. The superintendent t
could not tell; things were i'll an

prospect of earlyeresumption was

TO HAVE A BOX.
Customs Brokers Obtain
a Concession.
LOOSE PRACTICE STOPPED.
A Change in the Method of Getting
Through Business at the
House.

The complaint that some importers
private invoice prices had been com.
municaied to a rival concern has been the
cause Of great deaf Of trouble about the
Custom-house.
In addition to the investigation by
Special Agent Evans which has been going
on in Appraiser Ralston's department for
the last few days. the brokers have come
in for further share of annoyance. as
Collector Wise caused a notice to be posted
up emphasizing the rules and regulations
OF the service with respect 10 the putting
through of importers papers. The notice
Itself simply called attention to what the
law is as to the process which importers
papers must go through. but for little
while it looked as if the customs broker
would soon be without oecu pation-that
MS work would all be performed by the
messengers OF the service, and the mer-
chant would have to bear with whatever
NeXatlous delays should result from the
strict Interpretation of the law.
A compromise was effected yesterday
however, when John II. Boden, repre-
senting the brokers, and MIR. Wise put
their heads together and the result OF
a thorough discussion of the matter is
that big box, with section for each i'm
j
key only, is to be put in The naval Office.
SO that the importer or his broker can get
his nwn papers and his alone. The order
oy Mr.. Wise was also so far m edited as to
allow the Importer or his representative
to carry the papers 10 the Deputy Collect
or's office and. after they have been
through the deputy's machinery, to 60 to
the cashiers office. The fact is there are
not enough messengers in the Custom
house heIe to carry out the law If strictly
construed and too strict enforcement
would occasion much inconvenience and
delay.
MIR. Wise's action in having Saturdays
notice put up was doubtless based upon
the developments in Special Agent Evans
Investigation. Messrs. Boden, Thornley,,
Hessler. NATION and Wheeler have all
been questioned as TO whether it was pos
slbe for business secrets to leak out
through the brokers offices, and though
these gentlemen have strenuously insisted
that they could net, and that either hon.
esty or fear of detection would deter the
brokers' themselves while upon the floor
OF the Custom-house, from prying into
the secrets of one another, it was thought
at the time safest to shut off all possible
opportunity fur a leakage. The box at
the naval Office will doubtless answer the
purpose just as well. Heretofore all mani
tests, permits and other papers have been
thrown upon the able on the second
broker had access to the entire lot and
selected bis own therefrom. Ii might be
supposed that it would not be difficult for
one man 10 ascertain what was anothel's
business so long as that loose method con-
timed
