plains the Matter.
AS the movement Of trains becomes
more regular since the strike, and Che
interference with their movements has
largely disappeared, tho United States
marshal is diminishing his force of depi
uties. There Is no money on hand TO
cefray the salary and expense account
of the deputies except as it is. advanced
by the marshal or the railroad CONS
panies. The government has not yet
made an appropriation to cover the
strike expense. Marshal Bede has in.
formed the department that it will re!
Qnire about 500 600 to meet the expense
onaecount OF strikes on railroads within
this state. The senators have been
asked by him to exert their influence to
secure the passage of bill making a
special appropriation covering the
amount needed.
Asked last evening as to the report
that some OF the deputy marshals were
directing to the method of settlement
for their time, Deputy Marshal Edward
Brown, who has had special charge of
the late strike matters for the office,
said: ,,es,.>s. y. -
"rhe deputies were hired at So per
day and expenses When the time for
settlement and discharge came the men
wanted their. pay. There being no
money on hand to pay them they were
given the alternative of waiting until
funds were available or taking due bills
for the amount. They signed the
vouchers to the effect that they were
given 50 per day and their expenses to
the amount of 50 per day were pro-
vided for by the marshal or paid for by
him. Some of the men objected to
signing the vouchers in the shape made
upaad one man refused to surrender
his star andyrevolyeIsunder the condi-
tons. The marshal Informed him that
he hadono discretion about retaining the
star as he. could not remain longer in
tAG oCt VIZ.
Mr.. Brown said that during the Great
Northern strike it had been demonstrate
edithat it cost little over 50 per day to
proVideafor the1expenssso the deputies.

At,ether places the railroads had
provided lodging and meals for the dep

have not YETI been. presented. When
the expense bills are all presented they,
will be paid for the actual amount
chargeable. The bills WILL be sworn TO
by The parties furnishing the board,
lodging and other expense, and will be
sent to the deeartnent,as vouchers. In
case the bills do not amount to as much,
as SO per- day the government will be
the gamer, as it will not pay more
than the actual expense. In case the
expenses amount to more than 50 per
day the marshal will DE the loser. Mr.,
Brown said that there was absolutely
nothing wrong in the vouchers. The
men got what they were hired for, and
the government will be. protected in the
amount it pays out. Mr.. Brown in
speaking of the men being charged 10
per cent for having their due bills
cashed said it Is no concern of the Office,
but Is simply matter between the men
having the due bills cashed aud the
bank that cashes them. He said that if
the men hold the bills until there are
funds they will be paid in full.
