DEPARTMENT METHODS.
Dockery Commission to Report on
improvements I'm the Treasury.

The Dockery commission of the House.
having under consideration the question of
improvements in the methods of doing busi-
ness in the executive departments of the
government. have nearly completed their
work. so far as the Treasury Department
is concerned, and hope to be able to have
their views embodied in bill for presenta-
ton to the House within a week or ten
days. 1t is understood that the changes
proposed will be of a somewhat radical
character, but all tending toward a simpli-
fcation of methods. 1t is believed that, ex-
cept the Office of commissioner of customs
and the deputy commissioner, no offices CT
consequence will be abolished, but there
will be number of offices where the work
will be redistributed. The principal aim Of
the commission is to cut loose the immense
amount of red tape that seriously hampers
the transaction of public business. Mr..
Dockery said today that there was a mis-
taken idea to the purpose of the invest-
CATION. 1t was not to look into the question
of efficiency of clerks If any clerks were
paid a higher salary than they earned that
was a matter which the heads of 1epart-
ments might or might not rectify. Where
any changes were to be made they would
be solely in the direction of simpler and
more direct methods. Next week the eX-
perts of the commission, at the suggestion
of Secretary Carlisle, will go to New York
to look into the business methods of the
custom house, subtreasury and other gov
ernment offices there.

The MOtOrman's story.
He IL Said tOiBe the Coming Recorder
of Deeds,

of Deeds.
The little bird who fits hither and thither
among the District democrats every now
and then taking inspiring tales to ready
ears has been making another journey and
this time the burden of his song is to the
effect that President Cleveland Is consider
ing the question of the distribution of the
remaining patronage in the District, and
Will shortly announce his solution Of 1t to
the Senate. Naturally such news occasions
much interest and anxiety among ,he vari-
Gus candidates as to what the harvest will
be- especially when certain conditions are
taken into consideration.
1t is understood that the offices to be filed
at once are the registership of wills and tie
recordership of deeds. Around the latter
position centers the greatest amount Of in
tereSt. Some time ago the announcement
was freely made that the President had de-
termined to appoint a colorad man to the
position and DIR. Kelley and Mr.. TAYLOR
the latter of whom is remembered IN con-
nection with the republic of Bolivia, made
a strong effort, respectively, to secure the
support of the local democrats. Mr. TAYLOR
being nonresident found no encourage
ment, and DR.. Kelley was generally refused
Endorsement on the ground that the Dis
trict democrats would not agree TO recog-
niZe that the office belongs to the colored
people, as such an Endorsement they be-
lieved would imply. 1t is now understood,
however. that Mr. Cleveland did not con-
template appointing any Of the local coli
ored democrats to the office when he reach
ed the determination mentioned above but
had in his mind the possibility of selecting
for the position Mr.. Matthews, whom he
nominated for the place during his former
term. and who was rejected by The Senate
In some quarters 1t is more than limited
that the President is still of the same frame
of mind. and that many things more sur
prisng than Mr.. Matthews nomination to
be recorder Of deeds might happen.

MAKES MATERIAL CHANGES.
The Army Bill Affects the Rankfur
Officers Strongly.

The army appropriation bill, as agreed on
yesterday, will have a material effect ON
the rank and pay of Generals Scbofield
and Miles. the two ranking officers of the
army, but 1t will not affect Gen. Howard
the third of the major generals. The hill
reduces the major generals to two and
makes one OF them commander of the army
with the brevet rank of lieutenant general
The practical effect of this will be realized
when Gen. Howard reaches the age of re-
tirement, few months hence. 1t will leave
Generals Schofield and Miles as the t,Uo
major generals ur,aer the new law. with the
former ranking as brevet lieutenant general
rms Will be terminated, however. in Septan-
ber, lS95, 5,when Gen. .Schofield reaches the q 90
OF retirement. At that time the new law
II enacted, will be of special benefit TO him
as he will be retired at three-fourths the
pay OF a lieutenant general or $3.50. in
stead of three-fourths of the pay of his
present rank, which would be S56n5
After Gen Schofield's retirement Cen
Miles becomes brevet lieutenant general
and President Cleveland will then be called
upon to appoint another major general from
the six brigadier generals. This condition
of the service will continue for some wears.
as Gen. Miles has considerable service be-
fore reaching the age of retirement

Representative Wilson of Washington is
making inquiries to a contract which the
Treasury Department is said to have made
with British coal company for supplying
100000 worth of coal to the United States
vessels which will patrol the Bering sea.
Mr.. Wilson regards the contract as a dis
elimination favorable to British interests,
and he says it is specially Objectionable in
view of the American contention with Great
Britain over the Bering sea.
Mr.. Wilson is Seeking to secure definite
information as to the contract from de-
partment sources He has unofficial in
formation that the contract was made with
the ConnaX mines on Vancouver Island, al
though there are said to be abundant coal
supplies along Bellingham bay in the Puget
sound country. The Washington Congress
man will probably call the attention of the
House to the alleged foreign contract.

THE SEIGNlORAGE BILL
Great Uneasiness Among Democrats as to
the Presidents Action.
How o Veto Would BE Regarded and
What Such Action Would
Result I'm.

There Is great uneasiness among the
democrats in both branches of Congress
concerning the action Mr.. Cleveland Will
take on the seigniorage bill. In spite of
what are regarded as strong indications
that the bill will be signed. there is thought
to be SO much of political consequence in
the action Of the President that there will
necessarily be great uneasiness until the
matter is disposed of. There are compara-
lively few democrats in Congress-, even
among those who voted against the bill,
who do not believe that Mr.. Cleveland
would show little political Judgment If he
vetoed it. and it is contenGed by nearly
every one that il the bill Is TO become a
law 1t should be with his signature and not
by the expiration of the ten days time.
There is little room to doubt that what
ever the general effect of the law may be
If the bill is signed, veto of il will inten-
sify many degrees the present irritation be-
tween the factions of the democratic party
1t Is contended by the southern and west
ern men, and conceded by many who do
not agree with them as to financial policy
that veto Of the bill would cost the DEM
ocrats many seats in the House at the
next election. the radical populists succeed
Ing the more conservative democrats. Tn
der existing political conditions the loss of
number of Representatives in the east is
anticipated, and IL is believed that nothing
can be done to save them. If, in addition.
greater irritation is given to the people in
the democratic strongholds, 1t is said by
democrats that there will be but little hope of
their holding the House during the next
Congress.
Willing to BE Placated.
One thing in the present situation which
has not appeared heretofore is that the So
called anti-administration democrats ap-
pear to be in a placatory attitude. inviting
the President to meet them in the same
spirit.
= Besides all the pressure that is being
brought to bear on the President to secure
his signature to the bill, there are several
inside considerations which may in
huence Mr.. Cleveland. and, again, it is
oy no means certain that he is not of his
own notion disosed to sign the bill without
reference to any pressure in the matter
IL is urged that a man of Cleveland's
temperament Is much more apt to sign
