NGw YoRx, May 11.-An ex.treasury
official said to-day: "The trouble with
Secretary Carlisle is that he entertains
such a strong prejudice against Wall
street that ho cannot deal with the
present financial crisis fairly. He is
afraid that he will be accused OF sur.
rendering to the evil influence OF Wall

bad place, and the Wall street fnanCiers
may be very wicked men, but, Just the
same, it is the center Of the financial
interests Of the country. Everything OF

"Mr. Cleveland should noE ut least," "
the official added, "sharo Mr.. Carlisle's

LONDON, May 1l.-William Townsend,

was arraigned on tho first mentioned
charge to-day. Townsend was also
charged to-day with having sent mem
acing letter to Mr.. Gladstone, which
was read in court. The letter is dated
April %, and is as follows;
"Do drop that cursed bill. Say some-

The prisoner admitted that he had
written the letter.
Then several entries in his diary
were read, Of which the following are
examples:

THE PATRONAGE HUNTER

VIII Soon 30 Thing of tho Past-aIr.
Cleveland Proposes to Abolish tho Pres
ent System.
WASHINGTON, D. O., May ll,-Al-
though the Presidents recent order has
cut down the number OF his callers,
since congressman cannot carry his
constituents with him TO the Presi-
dents presence, 1t has done but little
else. The congressman and senators
continue to come as numerously as ever
and they occupy just as much time as
they did when they brought crowd
with them. There being comparatively
few of them, each member al Congress
feels entitled to prolong his conversa-
ton with the President 80 that, so far
as time is concerned, they consume
fully as much as ever
There are those among the daily
callers at the white house who would
not be surprised to witness a radical
change in tho next year or two in the
method OF distributing the federal
patronage, Briefly stated, the change
would mean the curtailment, II not the
complete adjustment, OF active and
persistent efforts by congressman in
the distribution OF patronage. The me-
ceaaity for change in the present sya-
tenn is said to lie in the fact that OF late
years the work OF congress as legisla-
tive body ia seriously interfered with
by the attention which they must give
to the task OF pressing their constitu-
ents' demands for patronage in the
various departmental. Another reason
put forward for the change is the ale
gatton that, in many states, eligibility
for election to congress has come to be
gauged by a mans ability to get ap-
pointments for his constituents and to
sway power with the administration.
1t is said that Mr.. Cleveland has been
keenly impressed with this situation,
which has been brought vividly to his
attention during the past two months,
and that in such leisure moments as he
has been permitted to enjoy he has
taken it under serious consideration.
