WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES.
Resigpotiou Of Observation-Disclosures
s.1o, Per Capita.

WASHINGTON, ID. G. May S.-Ths
Resignation OF Civil-Service Commissioners
LYMAN is undoubtedly in the hands of
the President but no official announce
ment OF the fact can be obtained from
either the White House or Mr. Lyman
himself. The latter refuses 10 tax upon
the subject. The announcement OF the
resignation and the app intment Of the
new commissioner will probably become
public az the same time. with the an
nouncemcnt OF the name OF Commission
or Roosevelts successor.
Some years ago Mr.. Lyman appeared
before a congressional committee TO an
swer a charge Of favoritism towards a
relative. and other accusations connect
90 with his position as commissioner.
Two reports were made. in which Mr..
Lyman was severely censured, but the
reports never came before the House for
action.
Since then the rumor that Mr.. Lyman
would leave the commission has been
prevalent every few months.
The Treasury circulation statement for
April shows that during the month the
circulation OF all kinds Of money in the
United States Increased sl5.2i9.7 40. making
the total IN circulation on May list s, 5s9.-

with May l. 1884 the total circulation

SOUTHERN RAILWAY EXTENSION.
Entire Control Of Alabama Great
Southern ROnd Obtained.

NEW YORK. May 3.-The Southern
railway and the Cincinnati. Hamilton and
Dayton railroad interests have settled all
difficulties as to the Cincinnati extension
bonds and the properties underlying them
on basis entirely satisfactory TO both
parties. The Southern railway has to-
day taken control of the Alabama Great

Samuel Spencer. Charles II. COster j. T.
Morgan. Jr. Francis Lynde Stetson, w.
q. Oakman, A. j. Thomas. and George
w. Mastin as q majority of the Board Of
Directors, with Samuel Spencer as chair
nan.
Under the terms of the settlement the
Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton inte-
rests retire entirely from the Alabama
Great Southern, the Southern railway
having acquired their entire holdings.
The control OF the capital stock of the
Cincinnati. New Orleans and Texas
Pacific Company is TO be owned and
held equally and jointly by the Southern
railway and the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton interests, and II is
hoped that reorganization of that com
pany. or a new lease or the purchase
OF the Cincinnati Southern can be eff
fccted, and the line continue. under neu-
trail management TO be operated indie
pendently. but preferently to the interests
of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day
ton on the North and the Southern ana
the Alabama Great Southern on the
South. This insures harmony between the
parties. stops litigation. and fully pro-

tains the ownership OF the old Louisville
