STATE DEPARTMENT ACCOUNTS
What Treasury Officials Say of til
Examination of Them.

What Treasury Officials Say of the
Examination of Them.
Based on the fact that a messenger in the
State Department some months ago, as
published at the time, distracted money
from letters containing applications for
passports, the impression has been created
in some quarters that a wholesale inquiry
into the financial affairs of the department
has been made with damaging results. 1t
is said at the department that the treasury
officials have been making an examination
of the books of the department with the
purpose primarily of ascertaIning Just how
much money was lost through the messen-
gers defalcation, and whether the practice
had been going on in years past. The re-
suits so far, while showing some slight ir-
reguiarities in the accounts, do not IN any
way tend to demonstrate that there has
been any other case of turpitude

CASHED THE CHECK.

George A. Burgess Charged With
Taking His Employers Money.
Detective Lacy had George A. Burgess in
the Police Court today on a charge of
grand larceny. The defendant, who had
been employed at G. A. Shehan's lumber
yard. was intrusted with check for $40
to get cashed. He got it cashed and then
failed to return the money. His excuse was
that he lost it, but it is alleged that he
had been drinking and spent it.
Counsel for the defendant waived an
examination and the case was sent to the
grand jury.

COMMANDER LUDLow's CASE.
Recommendation for Hia PrOmOtiO
Disnpproved by the President.

RccOmmenInt tiOn for His Promotion
Disnpproved by the President.
The President has disapproved the rec
ommendation of the naval examining board
for the promotion of Commander NieoIl
Ludlow to the grade Of captain. This case
has been under consideration for many
months. and is regarded with special in
terest in naval circles 1t is said that the
President bases his adverse action on the
broad ground that Commander Ludlow has
been guilty of condr ct unbecoming an Of
ficer, and therefore is not proper subject
for advancement in his profession. The ef-
feet of this action is that Commander Lud-
low will be retained at the top of the list
in his grade, while his juniors are pro-
NOTED over his head. Commander Cook,
assistant chief of the bureau of navigation,
will be the first officer to benefit by Com
mander Ludlow's misfortune. 1t is likely.
the friends of the latter assert, that
he has been misjudged by the President,
and they will make effort to have his
case reopened.

Venezuelan and Cuban Affairs Said
to Have Been Discussed.
A regular meeting of the cabinet was
held at the White House today, at which
all the members were present, except Sec
retary Smith. who remained in Atlanta.
AS usual the proceedings were entirely
secret, but there are good reasons for tho
belief that the Venezuelan incident and
the Cuban insurrection came up for dis
cussion over the latest developments, and
that a general understanding was had that
this government would continue to observe
a conservative policy on both questions.

AMERICAN SHIPS IN TIE EAST.
The United States Not Particularly In
terested in the Complication.

HI thc
The Navy Department is giving careful
attention to the situation in Corea. The
United States has no special interest in the
complication beyond the protection of Amer
ican interests, and probably under no cir
cumstances would do more than take pre-
caution to this end by sending some of the
ships now in Asiat:c waters to the scene
in case official advices should confirm the
reports of prospective trouble No orders
have yet been issued looking to the dispatch
OF any portion of the Asiatic fleet to Corean
waters.
The department has so far proceeded upon
the idea that Admiral Carpenter who is
Informed as to the situation and will take
such steps as may appear advisable The
United States has eight ships in Oriental
waters, all of which could be sent to Corea
IL advisable. The presence of some of these
at the principal Chinese ports has been con-
sieered necessary in view of the anti-mis-
sionary agitation, but the subsidence of ex-
citement on this account again leaves the
commander of the squadron free to use his
fleet elsewhere if necessary.
At the Jnpnnese Legation.
The Japanese legation does not construe
the dispatches that a Russian fleet Is moving
to Corea as indicating that conflict is i'm
minent. The Russian harbor at Vladvo-
stock will be ice-bound next month, and as
1T is the only Pacific harbor the Russians
have. II is regarded as unlikely that thew
would make a naval demonstration when

BILKS ARE A PLENTY.
THE D0INGS OF TWO PEOPLE

Doings of some People Who
Buy Credit.

10 Judge from the complaints which
pour iato the district attorneys Office
there are quite a number OF dead
beats" in Los Angeles, who thrive on
the money and property OF others.
There is a warrant cut now for man
named john Lindermsn. who is charged
with grand larceny. Only one complaint
was sworn out against him, but enough
dersons who have been swindled by hi m
have applied to the district attorney
that the issuance OF half dozen wars
rants would not cover Liaderman's
dongs.
On the 18th OF this month, it Is
charged, he went to A. Gotthelf the
local agent OF the Eastern Clock conn
psny, and by representing that he
needed certain number of articles in
his home. to be paid or time, managed
to obtain s62 so worth OF merchandise,
consisting of laos curtains. rugs, COM
forts. a clock, etc. LindermRn &C tbs
time signed 6 csstiron agreement BY
which he oovensnted that oil Of the
goods purchased by hin should remain
the exclusive property OF the Eastern
Clock company until fully paid, and
that any violation of the contract should
be considered as trover and conversion.
Linderman did not show up st the
time agreed upon for making part pay
ment, and Gottheli went TO mis- address
to inquire. None of the purchased goods,
it Is claimed. were there. Neither was
Lindermsn. Further inquiries made by
the agent of the Eastern Clock company
developed the assertion that his GUS
toner had been peddling the goods from
house to house, together with other
merchandise obtained in q similar man
ner from q number OF dealers in goods
easily disposed OF.
A dry goods merchant also called OIL
the district attorney for the purpose OF
having an adventures who has been
staying at South Main street lodging
house arrested. She had several suits
OF ladies' underwear sent to her room,
and bought couple OF suits. There
was among the goods submitted to her
inspection valuable suit of ladies' I'M
dsrwear trimmed with lace which struck
her fancy. This she desired TO buy on
credit, as her ready stock OF cash. 80 she
alleged. had run out temporarily. The
storekeeper assented, but when he re-
turned to the house found his Gus toner,
who gave the name OF Mrs. Field, had
flown. 1t appears that che also victim.

Pearson, out of come $3.50.
No warrant was issued for her arrest.

given her credit and must take his
chances.
