There are millions upon millions Of dollars in
the Treasury, paid in from different sources
which belong to citizens of the United States
To this wealth the Postoffice Department.
through the money y-order office, contributes
largely. few years back the Postmaster
General deposited with the Treasurer nearly
100000 the money from uncashed orders
which had accumulated since the Office was
started in 1863. AT first no effort was made to
restore this unclaimed money to its rightful
owners, but the letters OF advice, turned in as
unpaid by the postmasvers from all over the
country, wece kept in demand should be
made for their payment. The money remained
to the credit Of the money-order Office, showing
large profit for the service This policy was
subsequently changed. and now the office en-
deavore to refund the money TO the remitters
by draft drawn on the Treasury. This rule
obtains in case Of money-orders less than ten
years old. Letters OF advice older than this
are destroyed
Every year about per cent Of the money or
ders issued are not cashed, leaving from $4,000
to 100000 unclaimed. which is deposited In the
Treasury There are many reasons to account
Tor this large number Of money orders not being
cashed. In some instances, especially for small
amounts. the orders are filed away with other
papers and forgotten. More frequently the let
ter containing the order Is lost or stolen and the
order never reaches the person for whom IT
was intended. This 10 rue of the orders made

PLEA FOR HAMMOND
Members of Congress Sign a Peti-
ton to President Kruger.
EFFORTS TO SECURE A PARDON
His Release Would Be Esteemed an Es-
pecial Compliment To the United
States-His Good Character at
Home Pointed Out.

Washington, April Ex-senator Stew
houses of congress yesterday afternoon
petition addressed to President Kru-
ger of the Transvaal republic asking
him to pardon John Hays Hammond.
The fact that such petition had been
signed and would be forwarded was
cabled the Transvaal government. The
petition, which was signed generally,
is as follows: "The undersigned MEM
bers of the senate and house of repre-
sentatives of the United States of
America, respectfully represent that
John Hays Hammond is a citizen of the
United States; man of high character
and connected with the best families in
this country, and an engineer of ability.
We regret exceedingly his unfortunate
connection with the troubles in your
country, for which all our people en-
tertain feelings of kindness and respect.
In view of the irreproachable charac-
ter of Mr.. Hammond in his own coun-
try and the high standing of his
friends and relatives, we earnestly ask
for him your most kindly considera-
tion If your excellency would extend
to him pardon for his offenses against
your government we would esteem it
an especial compliment to ourselves, as
well as to the people of the United
States. Hoping that you will relieve
Mr. Hammond from the penalty of his
connection, we are your most obedient
servants, ETC."

LIEUT.. LANG'S CASE.
Granted an Extension of His Sick Leave
for One Month.

Washington, April 29.-Second Lieu
tenant Clarence E. Lang. Second
artillery, the young army officer whose
case has been commented upon, has
been granted an extension of his sick
leave for a month. Lieutenant Lang
application for retirement is still in
allegiance, but on the expiration of the
extended leave he will be subjected to
another examination to determine his
mental and physical condition. His
wife has been at the war department
recently in company with Representa-
tive Burton of Ohio, who appointed
Lang to the military academy, and
she is apparently as anxious as her
husband to have his application for
retirement acted on favorably. Lieu
tenant Lang was married on the day
of his graduation to the daughter of a
commissary sergeant at West Point.
Later Lieutenant Lang and his bride
came into public view through mys-
terious happenings about their resi-
dence and allegations that the young
couple were snubbed by army society.
Lieutenant Lang's application for re-
tirement on account of illness was not
granted, but he was given sick leave.
The medical report of the examination
shows that he is suffering from some
nervous complaint.

Emanuel Friend, counsel for Maria
Barberi, who was convicted of the
murder of her lover but has been

brought here in learning to read and
to write, Mrs. Sage being her tutor,
and in making lace. She expressed
great sorrow at leaving Mrs. Sage, and
said that she would have liked to re-
main here until the day of the opening

she placed her fate in the hands of God
and felt confident that justice would
be done to her. After taking leave Of

slNkINGSoF THE wYANoKE.
Cruiser Columbia Will Have To Be Placed
on DrydOok for Repairs.


ON DrydOok for Repairs.
Fortress Monroe, Va, April 3d.
The damage caused to the U. s.
cruiser Columbia by the collision with
the Old Dominion lines sidewheel
steamer Wyanoke, by which the latter
was sunk, will necessitate the placing
of the cruiser in drydock for repairs.
The damages sustained by the Colum-
bia consist, according to Capt. Sands,
of lone hole two feet in diameter on
the port side ten feet above the water
line, heavy indentation two feet
above the water line ON the same side,
an indentation of one plate on the
starboard side opposite the hole, open
ing seam for about six feet, and the
temporary loss of one anchor and
forty-five fathoms of chain" 1t is
said that as the Wyanoke fouled the
Columbia while the latter was at
anchor the Old Dominion company is
liable to the government for all ex-
penses incurred in making the neces-
sary repairs. 1t is considered remark
able that no one was killed, as the
Wyanoke struck the Columbia with
great force and sank almost immedi-
ately. The injured members of the
Wyanokes crew, who were attended
by the Columbia's surgeon, will prob
ably be able to leave the sick bay to-
night or tomorrow, except two or
three, who were badly scalded, one of
whom is expected to die.

FOUR DAYS. DEBATE
Bankruptcy Bill Will Occupy the
House Until Saturday.
TWO SUBSTITUTES TO BE OFFERED
Not Known When the Hammond ResoIu-
tiOn Will BE Reported-SenatOr Cor
mans Speech on His Amendment to
the Naval Appropriation Bill.

Washington, April 29.-The house,
passed yesterday by vote of 1877 to "a,
is to-day considering the bankruptcy
bill, discussion on which will be con-
tinued until Saturday afternoon, when
a vote will be taken ON it's passage.
Notice has been given that one or two
substitutes for the pending bill will be
offered for the action of the house by
friends of voluntary bankruptcy only.
The opening speech of the debate was
made by Gen. Henderson, rep, Ia, in
support of the bill, which is practi-
cally the Torrey bill, providing for
both voluntary and involuntary bank
ruptcy. The passage of the bill to
place John N. Quackenbush on the re-
tired list of the navy cures what has
been considered by the beneficiary and
his friends as great injustice perpe-
trated upon him. A bill was passed
directing the secretary of the interior
to restore to the public domain the
lands within the limits of F. Lewis
military reservation in Colorado 1t is
not known when the resolution direct
ing the secretary OF state to lnterpose
in behalf of John Hays Hammond, the
American citizen concerned in the
Transvaal troubles, will be reported
back from the foreign affairs commit
tee, to which it was referred yesterday.
In the Senate.
The senate to-day is considering the
amendment to the naval appropriation
bill made by Senator German, which
provides for the reduction in the num-
Der of battleships from four to two.
Senator Germans speech was almost
entirely on political lines, although
he did not spare members of his own
party, especially the secretary of the
navy, whom he ridiculed for his pre-
tensions to become a great admiral.
The amendment prohibiting retired Of
fcers of the army and navy from
taking employment from any person
or corporation supplying material to
the government was passed.
