AN OFFICE SEEKERS DEATH.

Sudden Demise OF Il. j. Smith. n Prom.
inent Democrat of Connersville.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 19.-At nm early hour
this morning. f. J. Smith. a prominent
Democrat of Conuersvilie. died in this CITY
under distressing circumstances. DR..
Smith was q special examiner for the Pen
sion Office in the field under the first Cleve-
land administration. and was removed
from office by telegraph by Commissioner
Tanner when the last administration came
into power. His removal cut his
the time of the Inauguration. on
the 4th of last March. and applied for
reinstatement. He stopped with his old
friend and neighbor. William w. Justice. q
a clerk in the Pension Office. and lives at
No. 1901 Third street Mr. Smith was a
Union soldier. and was known at home as
Captain Smith. He spent yesterday with
some friends from home and went with
them to the train at II o'clock last night.
when they departed for Indiana Among
his last words to his friends was the ex-
pression of q nope that he would eoon
be in his old position. He then
went to the residence of Mr.. Justice
and in less than an hour was attacked with
violent congestion. He died in a few min
utes. His death was shock to the JUS
tice family. and occurred shortly after mid
night. He leaves a wife at ConnersviIIe.
who has been telegraphed the fact of the
death. and asked as to the disposition of the
remains Up TO q lare hour tonight no in
formation had been received as to what
shall be done. but IL is believed that tho
remains Will be shipped to Conneraville
for interment. MIR. Smith has felt humii-
nted. worried and distressed over the delay
In securing reinstatement, and his friends
here believe that this was the direct cause
of his death.

Gas Belt Cities Growing So Fast that the Post

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Representative
Bynum spent some time to-day at the Post
office Department. in efforts to get an ad-
ditIonal letter carrier for Anderson. and
additional clerical and rent allowances for
Elwood and Alexandria. He was unsuc-
cessful, but will try again. Anderson has
eight carriers. or one carrier for about
every 400 population, which is 30 per cent.
above the usual ratio. However, the post
master at Anderson. as, Also Postmaster
Ellis at Muncie, is greatly Overw0rked. Ii

the absence of q State census. and while
the present system of reporting receipts
prevail, there might be twice the required
number of population for years, and the
receipts might be far above the require
ment for a whole year. and yet the place
would not get free delivery. The same Is
true in clerk and rent allowances Mr.. By
mum says he will try to have the law so
amended that the population of q city can
be proven by special city census at any
time. and the postal receipts estimated for q
year without waiting full fiscal year TO
expire. There ls no donbt that both
Alexandria and EIwood will be entitled to
free delivery soon, but neither may get 1t
under year or two. There appears little

Cleveland Preparing to Terminate the Reci-
procsfy Treaties with spain and BRAZIL.
WASHINGTON. April 19.-The investiga-
tion into the working of the several recip-
rocal trade arrangements entered into by
the United States with Central and South
American countries, and with Spain, for
Cuba and Porto Rico. under the provisions
of the Mckinley act, which Secretary
Gresham instituted immediately after as.
suming the duties of his Office. it is re-
ported. has led to determination by Presi-
ments with Brazil and with Spain for Cuba
and Porto Rico. Inquiry at the State De.
partment develops the fact that the ar
rengements have not yet been termi-
mated. 1t cannot be ascertained that
policy of the administration to aban.

the result of inquiries tends to prove that
IL any such action has been or will be

PLENTY OF GOLD.

National Banks Have S99,s57, ,a35 In Coin
snd Over SO, 900, 900 in Certificates.
WASHINGTON. April 1a-The abstract Of
reports made to the Controller of the Cur.
reDcy. showing the condition of ell tho Ma.
tional banks in the United States at the
time of the last call Monday. the 9th day Of
March. has been prepared at the Treasury
Department The aggregate OF the re-
sources is s3. .459, 72l, 223. In this connection
it Is interesting to note that the gold coin
held aggregates 800 So. .22SS5; gold certificates
s69. .09S. 100; gold clearing house certificates.
S4939, 600. Loans and discounts reached

gates S6Ss. .000. .000 and individual deposits

Only grave emergency will change the
present financial policy of the government
and each day the officials of the Treasury
Department gain more confidence in the
situation. Yesterday afternoon the Secre-
tary received some gold from Phlladelphis.
which is the first offer that the East has
made to aid the administration. and q email
amount was also obtained from Chicago
At the Treasury 1t Was denied that any
order has vet boen issued to stop the re.
$780, and the statement was made that
nothing would be done until the emergency
orrived. Ifanv action has been taken lt Is
probably in the form of letter of warning z
of a personal character to the assistant
treasurer in New York. informing him what :
the policy of the treasury will be in case
the free gold entirely disappears. but which
might he used as en- order il necessary.
The issuance of bonds would probably be
the last method that the Secretary would
turn to if crisis should arise. Secretary
Carlisle said late this afternoon that he
had Sl.176.000 free gold in the treasury.
This was obtained yesterday and to-day,
principally from the West. in exchange for
small notes. and relieves the tension at
least for lha pYaseuf

MAXWELL BACKS DOWN.

He VIII Permit Mr. Conn TO Name the Post
masters IN the Thirteenth District.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Headsman Max
we'll has descended from his altitudlnous
perch and is groveling before Representa-
tive Conn. of Elkhart. A couple OF dsys
ago it was related by Journal special
how Mr. Maxwell refused to respect the
old custom of permitting the majority Con-
gressmen to name fourth class postmssters
In their districts without filing petitions
from the patrons of the Offices, and how
Mr.. Conn withdrew tifty-two of his recon-
mendations and declared that rather than
be held responsible tor these appointments
and not be allowed 20 name them himself
he preferred to let the whole business res
with his constituents.
Late last night Mr.. Maxwell called upon
Mr.. Conn. They were oloeeted for an hour
or more. This morning Mr. Conn called at
the Postottice Department.. Smiles
wresthed his cleaDly shaved face. 81 have
resubmitted all of my recommendations
for appointments" said he. land am as
sured that my recommendations WILL be re-
spected. Mr.. Maxwell assures me that he
will hereafter follow the recommend stions
of Democratic Congressman and hold thcm
responsible for the appointments. ! shall
not now ask my constituents to hold cleo
tions and choose postmasters / will name
them"
The man with the guilIotine saw his mis-
take after he had sat down upon" Mr..
Conn. and concluded that the department.
could not get along if he did not depend
upon the assistance of congressman. It
ls expected that large Rrist of fourth
class postmasters Will be ground ont for
the Thirteenth DISTRICT this week. Peace
has been restored, but not without q hu-
initiation upon the part of the Fourth AS
sistant Postmaster-ge general. Indiana got
but five new fourth-c.ass postmasters to-
dey. All were selected to I'll vacancies
created by designations. and were as fol.

had received peremptory orders TO return.
Eventually. and quite recently, he found
his way back, and addressed to this city
letters entering into minute details as 30 q
treaty which he was negotiating for
the acquisition of one OF the
Galapagos islands for q coaling station.
He described the means he had used

writers in navy yards, to almost the entire
body of officials in the District of Column
bia. to tho internal revenue service and to
custom houses with their employees They
earnestly desire that some such bill as that
introduced in tho last Congress to take the
fourth-ciass postmasters out Of politics
may become law. The report continues:
Ultimately the system of promotions In the de-
partments must come under the immediate su-
pervision of the commission in order 10 secure
uniformity and the best results. Very serious
harm. in our judgment, results from allowing
the chiefs CT divisions to be excepted from ex-
animation, and we think that they should be put
under the general rule and be appointed by pro-
motion from within the service.
The report shows a very surprising
growth of the number of employees CON-
pared with the growth of population. The
PERCENTAGE of growth of the public service
in ten years has been nearly double that
of population. The service classified for
examination under the civii-service rules
has grown even faster in the same space OF
time. increasing at the rate of about $50 per
cent. SO that, whereas only about IL per
cent of the public service was removed
from party politics in 1888. about 81 per
cent in 1888 wac SO removed. The whole
number of places subject to competitive
examination under the rules is now 1898.
