IT has just been discovered in France
that although the palace of the Tuileries
was destroyed 26 years ago, four Off
cials charged with the preservation and
care of the place still hold Office and
draw their salaries. In view of this
fact, it seems Il little hard that Gov
Hastings vetoed items amounting to
81, 300 to pay elevator man, engineer
fireman, watchman, and sexton of the
bath tub in the state Capitol building
seeing that the building had only been
destroyed for less than year. Verify,
a poor man with sinecure has bet
ter chance in France.

The Indian Campaign Criticised.

ALAHABAD, Dec. 23.-The Pioneer pub
fishes scathing criticism of the recent
fighting on the Indian frontier, and says
the operations have ruined more than one
reputation. The Pioneer asserts that the
officers have disappointed expectations, and
calls on the. commander-in-chief to weed
out those who have signally failed to prove
their fitness to command or perform staff
duties The paper asserts that the instances
when the troops were well handled have
been few, while serious plumbers were nu-
merous and happy-go-lucky arrangements
v ere the rule, resulting in few hundred
British troops, Sepoys forming the rear
guard, having again and again to fight des-
perately to save their skins, while within
two or three miles thousands of their COM
rades were doing absolutely nothing. The
Pioneer says, further: THE whole cam
paign shows carelessness and indifference
for the safety of the rear guard and bad
disposition of the fighting strength. While
the fortified Enclosures and homesteads of
the Afridis have been destroyed, the latter
have had their revenge in the actual con-
fictS.''

GUARDING THE MONEY MARKET.
Secretary Cages Efforts to Prevent
Possible Financial Disturbances.

WASHINGTON, Lee. Zo-ASSlStant sec
rotary Vanderlip, in speaking of the heavy
payments by the government on Jan. 1,
said: Secretary Gage intends there shall be
as little disturbance as possible in the money
market as a result of the payment of the
principal and interest of the Union Pacific
Railroad bonds which mature Jan. /. The
amount of the principal of these bonds is
SIS, 100000, and the interest due thereon $780,
Co., Up to last night $40, 1876, 100 of these bonds
had been presented for payment, and treas
ury drafts to the amount of $3.50 173 had
been issued and sent out from the treasury.
This represents the actual cash payments
made up to date. There were up to last
night s.. 143,S00 proceeds of redeemed bonds
held in the treasury to secure circulation
of national banks. Checks representing the
actual cash payments already made and to
be made between now and the 9th will be
available on that date in the banks. 1t is
probable that the amount of cash payments
TO that date will reach $15, 900, 900. On the
same day the reorganization committee of
the Union Pacific Railroad will pay into the
treasury $S.5SS401, and in order to guard
further against any disturbance of the mar
ket Secretary Gage has arranged that
81, 00oO00 of this amount shall be deposited
in the National City Bank of New York
on bonds being turned over TO the govern
ment for security. The balance, 81 53S 401

from the money market and paid into the

tendency 10 present them slowly for redemp-
ton. Such is the case at this time There
has been a congestion of currency at the
money centers. and, except within the last
week or ten days, the money market has

! of 81 35c,UO0 are now held as security for

of the purchase of the Union Pacific Rail-
road and to this extent there will be no ac-

No Redress for Lynching.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Government
officials say that the mission of David Lee,
a colored man from Mississippi, who is said
to be on his way to Washington to seek the
aid of the United States in securing redress
for the murder of five members OF ms
family by White Caps necessarily must De
a failure. Up to this time he has not called
on Register Bruce as it was stated he IN
tended to do, nor does the register know
anything of the man or his purpose. AT
the Department Of Justice it is said that un-
der no circumstances could the United
States become party to any proceeding OF
this character against the State. of Missis-
sippi. and it is said to be doubtful Whetner
the State of Mississippi itself could be sueo
for damages under the circumstances, anu
certainly not without its consent: The. only
remedy it is suggested, would be for Lee
to proceed against the sureties of the peace
officers where the offense was committed.
VICKSBURG, Miss, Dec. 23.-The story
of David Lee, the coored man, who CLAIMS
that five members of his family nave Deen
murdered by White Caps, is absolutely
false. No lynching has occurred in TINS
county or section in several years. Lee Is
unknown, and it is believed the man Is
either crazy or an impostor.

Views of Don Nj. Dickinson ON the
Herring Sen Award.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 2S.-Hon. Don M.
Dickinson, senior counsel for the United
States, commenting on Canadian press re-
ports concerning the amount of the Boring
sea award. said:
There is no official announcement of the
amount of the award, but whatever it may
be- the Canadian newspapers are clearly
in error. The compromise offered by the
Cleveland administration in August, 1894
(here it is in Senate executive documents
No. CD. was $425.000 of principal. If the
commissioners have adopted that as a
basis as the papers claim ca legally i'm
possible theory. however). their award
must have been for that amount and in
terest as claimed, at Z per cent. from the
date of the seizure. The total sum would
be on that basis, over 100000. If interest
is given only from the date of the compro-
mise on the basis of the compromise, the
award would be between $500. 600 and $600OOu
SO you see if the basis taken by the COM
misSioners of principal and added interest
is as stated by the Canadian papers. the
result must be far in excess of their guess.
But after the defeat Of the compromise the
treaty was made under which this COM
mission OF arbitration has been proceeding.
In that treaty were included large claims
which were not before the governments on
the compromise. As. for instance, those

dict of guilty as indicted was brought in
Andersen received the verdict unmoVed. A
