The train will leave San Francisco at

in law for a charge for records OF copy
right and copies of copyright. The time
of the clerk who is occupied in making
the search is Of value to the Government,
and it seems to me only right that liti-
giants and others desiring to use that time
should be required to pay for it.
Il calculated that about 80 cents an

sPOFFORD'S SHORTAGE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-The accounts
of Congressional Librarian Spotford
which have been under investigation by
the Auditor Of the Treasury for the State
and other departments since last Janu-
ary, are said to show shortage of at least
$50, 900. This shortage is said to exist in
the payroll accounts of the library, and
in addition to this is the discrepancy in
the copyright aud search fee accounts.
The accounts have been examined by an
eX pert in the Office of Auditor Holoomb,
and his report is believed to have been
carried to President Cleveland at Gray
Gables by Assistant Secretary Hamlin,

such is the case. The man who habitu-
