SURVEYOR SCHLEY REMOVED.
Claim That He Was a Chronic Alb
sentee From His Office.

sentee From His Office.
The President has removed from Office
Buchanan Schley, surveyor of customs at
Baltimore. 1t is declared at the Treasury
Department that Mr.. Schley has wholly ne
elected his duties during the last year and
more and was chronic absentee. So :ar
as can be learned, there were no formal
charges against him. 1t was intimated,
however, that he was seldom ut his office
A special treasury agent was sent 10 Balti
more to look into the matter On Friday
he submitted his report, confirming the
statements in regard to the abscnteeism
of Mr.. Schley, and reciting in substance
that the duties of his office We're not prop
erly attended to by him. Saturday the or-
Ger was issued for his removal. There are
several applications on file for the positio :,
and 1t is understood the new appointee will
be selected from among them, and of course
he will be man acc eptahle TO Senator Well
lington and the delegation in the House.
Colonel Schley's term would not have
expired until June 19, 1898. 1t is said that
the deputy surveyor. Col Washington
Bowie, will be offered the position, the sal
ary of which is 81, 800 per annum Colonel
Bowie Is thoroughly acquainted with the
duties OF the surveyors department. having
been formerly its chief clerk. There are a
number of republican applicants for the
position. prominent among them being B
F. Parlett Of Talbot county, Newton S.
Cook and A r. Hagner. both of Washing
ton county. Secretary Gage said there was
nothing whatever rejecting on the personal
character of Mr.. Schley, and he was salts
fed from all he heard that Mr.. Schley was
very estimable gentleman. All there was
to it was that Mr.. Schley seemed to think
his Office could get along without his per-
with smile, 1.-The department came to she
same conclusion"

Gold Going Abroad.

The Secretary of the Treasury has been
notified that $4,000 in gold bullion had
been Withdrawn at New York for export
This is the first withdrawal of any consid-
erable amount since July o. 1896, when
$1,000, GOO was withdrawn. Treasury officials
are not disturbed and do not anticipate any
general export movement. In any event,
they say they are perfectly sure that Euro
pean holders are not selling American Sc
curities because of any distrust or want of
confidence in them. The outbreak of hos
tilities between Greece and Turkey is re-
garded as responsible for the present de-
mand for gold.
