Washington, D. c., April 22.-When
the day closed the treasury department
had to its credit slightly over 100000
III free gold.
1t is expected that this will be in
creased Monday as there is a dispO-
sltiOn shown by western bankers to help
the treasury swell its gold balance.
Several banks in New York, too, have
stated that they would turn in gold for
greenbackS
There is a better feeling, temporarily
at least, and the fact that no bad re-
suits have occurred by dipping into the
greenback gold reserve leads to the
belief that none will occur if it is found
necessary to repeat the proceedings.
1t is anticipated here that large ship
mentS of gold will be made next week.
In case of such shipments being made
there is nothing to indicate that Secre-
tary Carlisle will not do as he did yes
terday, viz. invade the gold reserve in
order to meet all demands
What the future policy of the treas
ury may be regarding finances is still
"a matter of conjecture for no definite
course has yet been decided ON. The
department will await developments
and as emergencies arise it is believed
it will be fully able to meet them.
One result of the gold scare has been
to cause q good deal of quiet discus
sion among the statesmen left at the
capital of the necessity for an extra
session Of congress.
1t is undeniable that some Of them
feel that such a session is probable, and
at an earlier date even that predicted
by Vice-Prcsid2nt Stevenson, Scptem-
Der next.

WASHINGTON. April 22.-Postmaster-
General Bissell yesterday notified 5. j.
Watt, the postmaster at Columbus,
Ga, that he would remove him from
office as soon as he had selected
successor. Mr.. Watt has been post
master at Columbus for eight years
and is now in Washington seeking re-
appointment. He was appointed by
Mr.. Cleveland eight years ago. After
the defeat of the Democratic party in
1883 Or. Watt changed his politics and
reorganlzed the entire clerical force of
his postotfice on thoroughly Repub bill
can basis. Hewas thereupon reappoint-
ed by President Harrison. When the
Republican party was defeated last No
vember Mr.. Watt again changed his
politics and became one of the most
ardent Democrats in Columbus A
month ago he sent note to every
clerk and Ietter-carrier in his office
stating that since the administration
is now Democratic it was proper that
the Columbus postothce should be en-
tirely reorganized on Democratic
basis, and therefore requested their
designations. One of the clerks sent
the note he received to the civil-Service
commissioners at Washington. They
found this note in plain violation of
President Harrison's order of
last January placing all free
delivery offices within the CLASH
fed service. They made report to
this effect and recommended Mr.
Watts removal. Yesterday Mr.. Watt
called on. Postmaster-Genera Bissell.
After introducing himself and stating
the purpose of his errand Mr.. Bissell
inquired of him how he. had succeeded
in holding Office under Mr.. Harrison.
To this Mr.. Watt replied: Il am
business man and view matters philo-
sophically. When Mr.. Cleveland was
defeated | promptly turned out the
Democratic clerks and put in Republi-
cans. When Mr.. Harrison was de-
feated last fall l determined that /
would turn out my Republican clerks
and replace them with Democrats. |
have already asked them for their res
ignations.
Eyes, replied Mr.. Bissell, / know
all about your Office. Here is the re-
port of the civil-service commission.
Your story saves me the trouble of
reading it..
Il am glad to hear that" replied
Mr.. Watt; Il am glad | have come"
Eyes, l, too, am glad you have
come" said Mr.. Bissell, because your
being here saves me the trouble of
sending you notice, formally, that l
shall remove you as soon as l can Sc
lect your successor"

DENY ALL CHARGES.
Nebraska's Accused State Officers
Speak for Themselves.

Lincoln, Neb., April 22.-Attorney-
General Hastings, Secretary of State
Allen, and Land Commissioner Hum
phrey, the three impeached state Off
GERS, filed lengthy replies to the arti-
Giles of impeachment yesterday. For the
most part the answers are the same,
differing only where they refer to the
duties of their several offices. Secretary
of State Allen says for answer to the
article of impeachment:
The duties appropriate to the office
of secretary of state during the time
it is charged he was guilty of said
alleged misdemeanor in Office required
the issue and record of over 5000 no.
taTial and other commissions and en-
tries therefor; records of 754 articles
of incorporation, making over 1866
pages; 200 official bonds, making 3O4
pages; compiling and publication of
! rosters of former soldiers and sailors
of the United States resident in Nebras-
ka, comprising over $4,000, and much
investigation and correspondence to
make it complete; publication and issue
of laws and legislative documents; eX-
animation and record of 522 series of
municipal bonds, aggregating about 81
7S9, 700; all of which, except the duties
of a purely clerical character, he must
discharge personally, and in addition he
is required to attend as a member the
following state boards, to wit: Board
of educational lands and funds, board
| of pharmacy, board of public lands and
| of public lands and buildings, board
of canvassers of election returns, board
! of state printing, and board of state
! library.
Of the last four Of these boards he
| is the secretary and keeper of their
| records. Each and every one of said
i boards have varied and important dJl-
ties, the board of public lands and
buildings during 1891 and 1892 being
charged with supervision of construc-
ton Of ten new buildings for the sew
/ eral public institutions, costing about
/ $225,0OO, besides the general charge OF
! the current expenditures in maintaining
such institutions, which was over $780,
600, so that it was neither practicable
nor possible to give contracts close
supervision in person to the detail and
minutiae of the business of said board
nor to do more than to exercise a gen.
eral legislative and judicial supervisory
control over the various institutions, to
make a circuit of which would require
a journey of 667 miles and ten con
secutive days.
The defendant was not able, nor was
said board able to do more than te

SIZING THE SURPLUS.
Wall Street Calmly Views the Financial


Wall Street Calmly Views the Financial
Situation.
NEW YORK, April ga calmer air
pervades the sub-treasury and it's
neigh borhood this forenoon. The pos
tive knowledge that the government
had met all demands for gold yester-
day that there had been no discrimi-
nation between treasury notes and
green backs, and the apparently firm
belief that the course had been
adopted in obedience to the wish of
President Cleveland. in pursuance of
the fixed policy of the government to
maintain the parity between gold and
silver, evidently had soothing effect,
and there was good deal less sensa-
tional talk around than there was yes
terday. This was also, of course,
partly due to the fact that gold is not
as a rule drawn on Saturdays for ship
ment, although there was an exception
even to that rule to-day.
At half-past 10 o'clock it was said by
Mr.. Muhleman that $500, 600 gold had
been ordered to-day. As an offset to
this, however, it was said that it was
known that 500, 900 in gold was going
to be sent into the Sub-TreaSury to-
day. There were also rumors that
some of the gold taken yesterday
might be returned to the Treasury on
Monday, if the situation should be still
further improved. The gold taken
from the sub-Treasury yesterday was
paid for with 81, 800, 900 of Treasury
notes and the balance in greenbacks.
The actual condition Of the United
States Treasury could not be accurately
stated here this morning because it
was not known how much had been
paid out or received at other sub-treas-
urieS.
Conrad n. Jordan, the new assistant
treasurer, was not expected at the sub
treasury to-day until later in the day.
His bond has been approved, but he
was not to take charge until after the
close of business. He will hold an in
formal reception this afternoon.
Estimates place the shipments of
gold by next Tuesdays steamers at
~, 500, OOG. Messrs. Heidelbach, Icl>el-
heimer & Co., have ordered $3.50, 600
gold at the sub-treasury and have paid
for 1T in greenbacks and 5000 in
treasury notes. Ladenburg, Thai
man e. Co. will ship $500, coo onthe day
named. This is all that has Teen posi-
lively gained thus far.

BREAKS THE WILL.

Grand Rapids, Mich, April 22.-The
decision of the supreme court yesterday
in the great Jockey Brown will con-
test, breaking the will, practically ends
a noted case. 1t was tried in the
circuit court in this city last summer,
and the sensational details were such
that the interest was at fever heat
all the time
James III. Brown was an eccentric but
wealthy old character who was well
known in this city for many years.
He had two daughters, Mary and
Alice, and was always very fond of
the latter, While for the former he
etertalned decided aversion. Alice
married and went to Colorado, and the
old man went to live with his other
daughter, who had also married and
lived a few miles south of the city.
Brown died in 1891, and the surprise
was great when it became known that
he had left the great bulk of his prop
erty, valued at about 100000, to the
older daughter. Suit was at once be-
gun to set aside the will on the ground
that the old man was unduly influ-
enced
During the trial the defense set I'D
several sensational points which ma

Little Rock, Ark, April 21- A

For several days past she has been

AN ANIMATED PENSION.
Former Wisconsin Woman Applies fO1
Money ANIL Finds Her Husband.

Chamberlain, S. D., April 22.-Seven-
teen years ago Emanuel Beck left his
wife and family in YanktOn and went
to the Black Hills. They never heard
from him again, and, as he was reported
dead, made no effort to find him. He
was married to the wife, whom he has
since deserted, in Ligonier, Westmore-
Land county, Pa, in 1915, and with her
removed to Wisconsin prior to the war
OF the rebellion. Here he enlisted as a
private in Co. B, thirty-third regiment,
Wisconsin volunteer infantry, serving
three years. After the war he and his
family removed to Dakota. Many years
ago Mrs. Beck, believing herself a
widow, applied for a pension. Before
doing so, however, her attorney wrote
to the pension office asking if Emanuel
Beck was on the pension roll. A mega
tive reply having been received, Mrs.
Beck at once set about procuring testi-
mOny in support Of her claim, and had,
as was supposed, established it, when
the other day she was surprised to re-
ceive notice that her claim was rejected
on the ground that her husband was
alive, his postofice address being Mont
rose, Col. The news so Unexpectedly
obtained will result in the family being
once more united.
