the opinion OF MIR. Thomson that the mae
adamswill make a very firm and suitable
foundation for future pavements In the
district mentioned.

MAPLE is TREASURER.
His Bonds Accepted by Both
City and County.
RiPLiNGER RESIGNS THE PLACE.
The Long Controversy Ended by the
Treasurer-Elecs Becoming Treas
urer Ia Fact.

Today the treasury of King county will
pass under the control OF ]. w. Maple. the
Popuiist candidate elected TO the ONCE
last November. This result follows the
approval OF both the county and city
bonds. and the withdrawal of John Rip
finger. the temporary appointee OF the
board of county commissioners. The
county bond has been filed with County
Clerk Gordon. and the city bond has been
transmitted TO the joint committee or
finance OF the council.
Before the hour of meeting of the coun-
~ commissioners yesterday large num-
Der OF Mr.. Naples adherents gathered in
the hall of the court house and the lobby
OF the commissioners office to learn the
decision OF the board. Some delay was oc-
casioned By the fact that Prosecuting At
torney HASTE was busy with case In
Judge Humes' court. but after little
time the announcement was made that
the commissioners would approve the
bond. This statement satisfied the crowd,
which soon dispersed.
AT the meeting OF the board the foi-
lowing communication was read from MIR.
Ripiinger. under date of March 4:
While am prepared to furnish a bond
as county treasurer of King county in
the event that 1t IL necessary for ma TO

barrass your honorable board. Pending

bond furnished by AIR. Maple and OF the
determination of other questions invAved.
hereby resign from the position OF coun-
~ treasurer. to which you did me the
honor to appoint me. Thanking each of
YOU individually. beg TO remain. respect
fully yours. .'JNO. RIPLINGER."
The appointment of Mr.. Riplinger was
reconsidered. together with the order of
the board declaring the Office of treasurer
vacant, and then, on motion of Heaton.
seconded by Nickerson. the bond of Maple
was approved unanimously. The sureties
and the amounts for which they each sign
are as follows:

NOT RILLIoN CONGRESS.

Hon Joseph d. Savers, chairman OF
the Committee on Appropriations OF
the Fifty-third Congress, nails the lie
which Republican organs have been
promulgating, namely. that the late
Democratic Congress actually overdid
the Billion Dollar" Reed-McKinley
Congress in lavish appropriations.
Chairman Savers makes q statement
showing the appropriations for the
first session Of the Fifty-frst Congress
to have been S494, 456,24S; for the sec

ouent occurrence in which sharpers
work their schemes successfully else
where and come to grief when the
strike this city. One of the latest
cases in point was Prof. Montehore,
the fake" medium. Two healthy
looking specimens of manhood struck
the city Tuesday and engaged rooms
at the Farmers Home. They repre-
scented themselves to be canvassers,
and paid a week in advance.
Yesterday morning the two men
started out on their "canvasslng
tour. They carried a book, which was
slammed with the seal of a labor Or
eenization. and stated that they were
authorized to solicit funds for the
American Iron and Steel Workers he
Iiaf Association. The names OF Geo.
p Stifel and the Schmulbach Brewing
Companv were placed in the book Win
donations opposite their names, WIN
out the knowledge or consent OF elther
party. The names probably had the
desired effect, however, as among
those who contributed were 5. ,. Bloch
S.. and Anton Reymann $40.
Merchants notified CHER BenneCC,
and a little later the Cher learned
that the two men were IN WllneIHh
saloon, on Market street. Ofncer
Michael went down. When the men
saw the officer they ran in opposite
directions. The officer followed the
man who went out the front door, ana
held the door. He ran in Hanke
cigar store and held the door smut,
He was finally secured, hand-cuHeu
and taken to the building.
The prisoner gave his name as Ang-
lus and his home as Harrisburg, "a.
He is a large man, apparently about
fifty years of age. He stated that the
other man was his brother, and ad-
mitted that the scheme was to SWIM
die stating that both were so hard up
for money that they hit upon this plan
TO secure funds. The prisoner endorsed
the check given by Mr.. Bloch John
Jones" and drew the money from the
Exchange Bank just a few minutes
before the bank received notice TO re-
fuse payment.

EXTRA SESSION POSSIBILITIES.

Mr.. Josiah Quincy. of Massachusetts,
who has been visiting Washington re-
Gently, is said to be positive in his pre-
dictions of an extra session, and a
Cabinet officer, whose name is not
given, is reported as saying that Pres
ident Cleveland has not absolutely de-
termlned that there shall be none. In
support of the theory that the Presi-
dent, should emergency arise, would
be quite willing TO call the new Repub-
lican Congress together in exraordi-
nary session, it is stated that imme-
diately before the adjournment of the
late Congress he had almost decided
upon an extra session. as he was
strongly inclined to veto both the sun
dry civil and the deficiency appropria-
ton bills.
That opportunity, however, is passed,
and only the depletion Of the gold re
serve would probably consrain the
President to seek relief through Con-
gressional action. The syndicate of
bankers who came to the rescue of the
Treasury are a good deal slower in
bringing up the reserve than was an
ticipated. at least by the general pub
lie. And though the Treasury De
partment appears TO be satisfied with
the situation there is more or less
skepticism abroad regarding the syn
dicate's ability to keep the reserve on
the right side of the danger point"
