the Russian government with the purpose
of fostering the expectation Of Russian

as the cost Of producing flour, the possi-

If a paper receives credit for

exists for withholding from

COLLECTOR MANoGUE's CASE.
The Matter still I'm the Hands of the
President.

President.
One Of the matters left undisposed Of by
the President is the case of Collector Ma
nogue of Georgetown, much to the disap-
pointment of several eager applicants who
are seeking his place, on the theory that
his tenure Of office Is nearly run. This case
has been settled so far as the Treasury De-
partment is concerned, and rests entirely
with the President. Secretary Carlisle had
nothing to do with the appointment of Mr..
Manogue, 1t having been a personal matter
with the President, and he naturally feels
q delicacy in acting In the matter.
Serious charges were made against Mr..
Manogue, and they were Investigated by
two special agents. Their report contained
q severe reflection on Mr.. Manogue's ad-
ministration, and it Is understood that 1t
recommended his removal Secretary Car
Isle showed the report to Mr.. Nanogue
and his counsel, Mr.. Harry E. Davis. and
allowed them to answer 1t in detail in writ
ing. All the papers were then submitted
to the President. This was several weeks
ago.
The papers are still at the White House.
Private Secretary Thurber says that the
President has been so much engaged on
mere important business that he has not
yet had time to consider the case. The
situation is regarded as favorable to the
retention of Mr.. Manogue, for the stated
reason, that If he had been found guilty
of any malfeasance in office he would at
least have been suspended pending the
final disposition of the case.

Gated and remarkable case which he was

His voice rang out. and his friends were
confident that he would hold out to the end.
Mr. Nye opened with an admission that

Of going through TO the. end Of the closing

THE CAPITOL DESERTED.

Only the Clerks Are Getting Together
the File Papers.
The possibility Of Mr.. Cleveland calling

Is not even thought of any more. The
qualification of the President that the
Fifty third Congress Is no more is too evil

The Capitol Deserted.
Congress has disappeared almost as II
by sudden evaporation. The Capitol was
deserted, except by half a dozen or so
members and Senators. The work Of clear
ing up the debris will occupy some time.
The clerks to the two appropriation COM
mittees are engaged in making up a sche-
dule of the work of these committees and
statement Of the amounts carried. The
file clerks are gathering together the vari-
Gus file manuscripts-papers relating . to
various measures before the Congress just
expired. There are fully two car loads OF
manuscript editions and other papers re-
lattng to bills before committees. and about
$4,000 packages Of private papers relating
to claims of individuals and other private
and when this is done all the work that re-
lates to the Fifty-third Congress will have
been completed.
No Mistakes Have Occurred.
1t Is said by the clerks In charge Of the
appropriation bills that no mistakes have
occurred in these bills. Prior to the adop-
tion of the system of printing the enrolled
hills on parchment, instead Of requiring
them to be in manuscript, serious errors in
the appropriation bills were common. The
system Of printing was adopted by the
committee on appropriations in a joint
resolution, which received the approval OF
fk1n fxrvn Ind hi hn
appropriation bills for the first regular
session were enrolled without an error, and
IL this proves true of the bills which have
just become laws, 1t will be a revelation in
the system of enro1lments. The printing
bill which passed the House for the refor-
nation of the whole system of printing
public documents omitted any provision
for the enrolment of bills. This failure In
the printing bill would have put an end to
the system Of printed enrollments, which
has proven so satisfactory. but the fact be-
ing discovered in time, provision was in
cluded in the legislative bill authorizing the
printing of enrollments in a permanent law.

CHICAGO GAS SHOWED A DECLINE
Signs of Better Times Seen in

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening STAR
NEW YORK, March 5.-Speculation took
on decidedly firmer tone this morning,
opening figures rejecting gains varying
from Is to 5-S per cent. A notable ex-
ceptfon to the prevailing tone was found
in the case of Chicago Gas, a reduction of
l Ia per cent being reflected in the ini-
tial transaction. The signing of the Og-
den gas ordinance by the mayor last night
was responsible for this depreciation In
value, as the revenues of the company
will be seriously curtailed by the COM
petition of a new company supplying the
same commodity at a reduction of 10 per
cent from The present minimum contract
price. This will be the inevitable result,
provided that the new company is organ
lied for more legitimate purposes than
have been generally credited to it, but IL
the new charter is for sale to the highest
bidder. as has been intimated. 1t is proba-
BILE that consideration Of moderate pro-
portions would effectually curb the am
bition to cripple the operations of the
older companies.
The filing of bond for 100000 and the
expressed determination on the part of the
new incorporators to begin the work of
construction at once. are factors which. on
the surface, are unpleasantly businesslixe

in, the price the stock was well supported
within n per cent of first figures.
The railroad list was strong during the
early trading, but subsequently became ir-
regular under cover of the extreme dullness
which characterized the trading at mid
day. The volume of business was, in the
main, confined to the room, the short in
terest being conSpicIously identified with
every buying movement.
The reason assigned for this tendency to
reduce the amount Of outstanding con-
tracts was that the Increased inquiry for
stocks reported by commission brokers
would sooner or later result in enlisting a
good outside demand for the better class
Of securities. Interests which at one time
were Strong factors in speculation, and
which of late have taken no active part in
determining values, are now showing signs
of increasing interest in the daily move
ment Of prices. Money is in better demand,
pect for a gradual hardening in rates. This
reflects an improving commercial condition,
as the volume of business in stocks has not
increased sufficiently to warrant an in
creased borrowing demand. II money fs
