MAI. THROCKMORTON's CASE.
He Has Applied to the President to Bs
Retired.

The case of Maj. c. b. Throckmorton,
second artillery referred to in yesterday q
Star. has assumed an entirely new phase.
1t is row before the President in the form
of an application for the Communication of
Maj. Throckmorton's sentence of suspen-
sion. in order that he may be placed on
the retired list of the army. He is now
under suspension on half pay and his SEN
tence has about a year more 10 run. He
has applied for retirement under the thirty
years service law, but his restoration to
duty is a necessary preliminary to the
granting of his request, and that is the
question before the President. Mai. Throck-
morton would not retire under ordinary
process of law until 1896 but with the Pres
ident's consent he can retire on his own
application after thirty years service
Why lie Desires to Retire.
1t is understood that Maj. Throckmorton
has asked to be retired i'm order that he may
accept the position of the assistant super-
intendent of street cleaning, New York city.
He wanted to accept the place while he re-
mained on the active list, under suspension.
but the War Department decided that he
could not do so under the statute prohibiting
officers on the active list from accepting
civil employment That statute does not
apply TO officers on the retired list SO that
III the President RENTS the unexecuted nor
ton of Maj. Throckmorton's sentence ana
grants his application for retirement he
will no longer be debarred from acceptiny
tne New YORK appointment. Another ad-
vantage to the officer by this action is in
the matter of pay. Whereas now he gets
only half pay, were he retired he would pet
three-quarters pay.

TREASURY REORGANIZATION.
Omces Said to BE Recommended Il
Abolition by Mr. DOckery.


Abolition by Mr.. DOckery.
The tran sfer Of clerks from the office of
register Of the treasury to the sixth audi
tors office in the Post Office Department,
which was begun yesterday. was continued
today. Considerable CONSERVATION prevails
aTong the clerks In consequence It is
said that the transfers are merely tempo
rary loans, made necessary by increased
work in the sixth auditors office but the
persons affected are apprehensive that the
trar sfefs are preliminary to the severance
of their relations with the government The
recent discontinuance of the card system
in the registers office contributes material
for the belief.
The Dockery commission, investigating
departn entail methods. is said to be respon-
sible for the recent changes in the regis
ter's office, which. 1t is further asserted, is
but the beginning of an extensive reorgani-
zation of the Treasury Department, pro-
vided Congress adopts the recommended
tions of the committee. The most import
ant OF these proposed changes Is the aboli-
ton of the bureaus of the first controller
second controller, commissioner of customs
and register, on the general theory that the
work performed in those offices Is merely
duplication of work previously performed in
other offices.

THE SEIGNIORAGE'BlLL
Democrats and the Administration Un-
able to Agree.
Mr. Rayner's Compromise Proposition
for 3 Per Cent Ten-Year
Bonds.

The democrats in the House and the ad-
Of 1t in trying to reach an agreement with
relation to the Bland seigniorage bill and
the matter Of the use Of the gold derived
from the sale of bonds. There have been
several conferences on the subject, and the
amendment which the silver men have
agreed to, providing that the Bland bill shall
not be construed to affect the authority of
the Secretary of the Treasury to redeem
the coin certificates in gold If he desires,
was prepared under the direction of Mr..
Cleveland and is satisfactory to the ad-
ministration as far as 1t goes. Still, how
ever, there is a wide difference Of opinion
as to the policy being pursued by Mr..
Bland. and the matter involves a great
deal Of perplexity. The fear Of the admin
istration is that the issuance of So, 100000
more of coin certificates will be a signal
for the presentation Of outstanding Ger.
tincates for redemption in gold.
Another Feature of the Embarrass-
ment.
The committee on the judiciary having
reported in favor of the resolution declar-
ing that the gold received from the sale Of
bonds issued Under the resumption act can
not be used for the current expenses Of
tHS government, aQQS anOtner feature TO
the embarrassment. and even the adminis-
tration men in the House have grave doubts
as to the accuracy of the position taken
by Secretary Carlisle, that he can use this
gold. II he desires. to meet the obligations
OF the government. Men who have been
studying the question with a view of sup
porting the views Of Mr.. Carlisle have
some Of them been converted the other
way against their inclination.
MIR. Rayner's Proposition.
Mr.. Rayner of Maryland, who is one Of
the stanch supporters of the administra-
tion, has made a proposition to Mr.. Bland
for an amendment, which he wants to at
tach to the second section of the Bland
bill II 1t can be agreed on. giving authority
to the Secretary of the Treasury in con-
nection with the coinage of the segniorage
to issue 3 per cert ten-year bonds In an
amount not exceeding $4,000. .OOO the gold
procured from which may be used to meet
the obligations of the government, pro-
vided the funds derived from the coinage
Of the seigniorage are inadequate. This
proposition is made in the form Of a COM
promise for the purpose of having the gold
behind the silver in case of any bad effects
resulting from the coinage.
