BLOW TO GOVERNMENT CLERKS
ASSISTANT VANDERBILT SAYS
THEY MUST WORK.
Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs Have
Their Salaries Cut Because They
Permit Idleness.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Assistant Sec
rotary Vanderlip asked about reports
that he had ordered a reduction in SAL
aries of several chiefs and assistant
chiefs of division in the office of the
auditing department of the treasury
because he had visited the offices and
found these chiefs and their clerks
reading newspapers and lettering dur
ing work hours, said that he had for
/, some time been investigating the aud
iting of the bonds and other papers in
the third auditors office. Last Satur-
day morning he went to the third aud
itor's Office, and, accompanied by one
OF the officials, walked into a large
room where he wanted to make an in
vestigation. He found a general state
of idleness. Clerks were reading news
papers or gathered in conversation.
This was after o'clock. The follow
ing Monday morning Mr.. Vanderlip
again visited the auditor. and they
went to another division to make an
investigation. Mr.. Vanderlip says the
same state of affairs was again discov-
cred.
Mr. Vanderlip says he decided that
the chiefs and assistant chiefs of these
divisions were responsible for this state
of affairs, and at once ordered a reduc-
ton in their salaries. He thinks that
officials of this class should have the
employees under some regulations as
to when work should begin, and how
employees should conduct themselves.
1t is said by officials in the treasury
that had Mr.. Vanderlip discovered the
same conditions in any office we'll up
with it's work, he would probably have
said nothing. He was led to take ac-
ton, it is said, by the fact that the
work in the auditors Office is nearly
two years behind.

IMMENSE SUM Of MONEY SPENT
WORK DONE BY QUARTERMAs-
TIERS DEPARTMENT.
There Was SIT, Oo3, 43o.57 Disbursed
During the Fiscal Year Ended
June 80, 1899.

New York, Aug. 10.-Colonel Amos s.
eral of the army, who during the war
was in charge of the New York depot
/ of the quartermaster's department
which furnished most of the supplies
! for the army. has just completed a re-
| port of the work done by his office dur
1 ing the fiscal year ending June So 1899
The report says:
From the following statement it will
I appear that the enormous sum of ST.
! 003 430 81 has been disbursed at this de-
( pot during the fiscal year ending June
/ 80, 1899 OF this amount the sum of
! 81, 651. 60 is for supplies purchased
and included in 4,215 accounts; $685.
366S6 for services, included in ssh ac-
counts; S2.17S. 526.55 placed to the credit
of other officers representing 357 trans
fers, and 1921, 965 placed to the credit of
the United States treasury, leaving a
balance, June 80 1899, of $1,24S073.45.
In referring to the shipments of for
age straw, oats and similar supplies,
the plan adopted of purchasing them at
the lowest market rates is explained
as follows:
Had we undertaken to ask for bids
by newspaper advertisements, the very
large quantities asked for would have
had a tendency to raise the market
price. whereas, by obtaining the lowest
quotations quietly we not only secured
the lowest market rates for forage, but
also special rates for shipping by COM
mercial lines.
The following vessels were purchased
for the army transport service: Berlin,
Bay State. Britannia, Chester, Hart
ford. Mobile, Mississippi. Minnewaska,
Manitoba, Michigan, Massachusetts,
Mohawk, Missouri, OLDHAM, Port Vic
tor. Panama, Relief. Roumania, Rita
and a number of tugs, steam lighters.
In addition there was chartered large
fleet of vessels, most of which were
used as transports to carry the Fifth
army corps to Santiago. The total cost
of the vessels chartered, purchased and
money spent in refitting them amount
ed to $3053. 1881, and the number of
persons furnished transporta Hon by
this office was 104,S45, besides S55 ami
mails and S3,7S7 tons OF supplies.
The work of bringing the dead from
the West Indies was eXpeditiously per-
formed, complete record being taken |
by the clerk of the New York office as
each body came off the vessel. The to- !
tai expenditures on this account, in |
elusive of collins and decorations, |
reached S109.S 02 After giving in detail /
the locations of the various recruiting |
stations the report states the expenses |
incurred on that score was S20,577 in |
