COL. VAN VALZAH TO RETIRE
Lieut.. Col. Carpenter to Command the
18th Infantry.

The growing list of officers who have sue
cumbed to the hardships of the long mill
tary campaign in the Philippines has been
increased by the disability of Col. David D.
Van Valzah, commanding the 18th Regular
Infantry. He has participated actively in the
field operations almost since the beginning
of the troubles in the Philippines and has at
last become victim Of the treacherous cli-
mate of that tropical country. In view of
his physical condition, he recently applied
to the War Department for retirement un-
der the statute authorizing the retirement
of officers on their own application after
thirty years service. His application has
been approved and the vacancy thus ere
ated has been filed by the promotion of
Lieut.. Col. Gilbert S. Carpenter of the 7oh
Infantry, who is now stationed with a por-
tion of his regiment at Fort Mcpherson
near Atlanta, Ca
He has been notIled Of his appointment
as colonel of the 18th Infantry, and ordered
TO proceed at once by way of San Fran
cisco TO the Philippines for the purpose of
assuming active command of his troops in
the field. Col. Van Valzah will return
home on the first available transport leav-
ing Manila. and ii is hoped that the change
of climate VIII benefit his health.
Other promotions made by the retirement
of Col Van NalZah are: Mai. William E.
Dougherty of the 1st Infantry to be lieu
tenant colonel of the 1th Infantry and
Capt. F. A. Smith of the 18th to be major
of the 1st Infantry.

COMMITTEE CHAIRMANSHIPs.
Assignments in the Last House Will
BE Followed as a Rule.

From all surface indications there ap-
bers of the House than is usual concerning
committeeshp assignments. OF course
members, especially those going into Con-
gress for the first time, are hustiing to look
out for their personal interests, but it is
generally recognized that General Hender-
son is not bouLd up in promises made to Sc
cure support and there is universal conf
dence among those who know General Hen
derson in his perfect fairness and good feel
ing toward everybody. What talk there
has been between the Speaker tosbe and
members of the House has produced q con.
Vlctlon that in the makeup of the COM
mlttees very conservative policy will be
followed.
In the case of the leading committees.
where the members serving as chairmen
during the last Congress have been re-
elected 1t Is understood that there will be
TO change. For instance, it is quite def
nitely understood that Payne of New York
viii remain at the head of the ways and
means committee, Cannon at the head of
appropriations, Hill at the head of foreign
affairs, Hull of military affairs, Boutelle of
laval affairs, Mercer Of public buildings
ana grounds ard, a thing of Special i'm
portance to Washington, 1t is understood
that Mr.. Babcock will remain at the head
of tho District of Columbia committee
TO be assigned to the committee on rules is
said to be incorrect, since, it is said he does
rot desire the position
1t is understood that Hopkins will be
chairman of merchant marine and fisheries,
unless he prefers some other assignment
and that Sherman's wishes will be consult
ed as to his continuance as chairman of
Indian affairs,

COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS.
Representative Tawney Does Not Be.
lieve PrOmises Have Been Made.

Representative Tawney arrived in Wash
IL gton last night to look after some depart
ment work for mis- constituents. He expects
to remain only few days, when he will
return TO Minnesota. In discussing the re-
suit of the speakership contest he said it
was very gratifying, not only to members
of Congress. but to the people of the west
generally, that Gen. Henderson'S election is
now an assured fact. When asked con-
corning the rumors regarding certain COM
mittee assignments, and whether or not
any promises had been made by Hender-
son affecting the same during the latter's
campaign, Mr.. Tawney said:
II am absolutely certain that Gen. Hen
derson made no promises. He mapped out
the plan of his own campaign, and the re-
suit came so quick that neither he nor his
followers had time to discuss committee
positions. Members of the House who have
served with the gel eral, however, know
that he has for a long time entertained
and expressed very decided views concern
ing the rights of members to important
committee places which they have won by
long and faithful service. From this fact
it is generally believed that the right of
members in this regard will be respected
by the general in the formation of his COM
mittees.. For his reason 1 am quite conf
dent that the personnel of the important
committees of the House will not be mate
rally changed N the Fifty-sixth Congress.
While / have not discussed the matter of
committee assignments with Mr.. Hender-
son, l am of the opinion, from the gener-
ais convictions in regard to the rights of
members, that such members as Payne
Dalzell, Cannon, Hit, Sherman, Babcock
and Hopkins will not be disturbed in their
present positions. l might also say that
in my opinion no member of the House will
know definitely anything concerning the
formation of the committees in the next
Congress until they are announced in the
House."

TAKING RED CROSS MONEY,
Clara Barton Complains of q Self
Constituted Collector.

Constituted Collector.
Postmaster General Smith has received a
letter from Major Rathbone director gen.
eral of posts of Cuba, inclosing one from
Miss Barton, president of the American
National Red Cross, who asks aid of the
Post Office Department in putting stop to
an evident fraud now being practiced upon
charitably disposed people in the name of
the Red Cross by a man who styles himself
Rev j. f. Marston. This man seems to
have operated lately in the states of Mis-
scuri. Tennessee and Illinois. His method
is to represent himself as a collector fer
the Red Cross, the money to be used for
the alleviation Of suffering IN Cuba. After
collecting a small amoInt-say s15.5O-he
incloses the cents to Miss Barton and keeps
the dollars for Misunderstanding, however,
that he inclosed the full amount, leaving
the recipient of his letter to infer that the
letter had been rif1ed while in the mails
In calling this fraud 10 Director Rath-
bones attention, Miss Barton addressed
him the following letter:
TULIPAN, June II, 1893.
Major Estes Rathbone, Commanding De-
partment of Posts, Havana, Cuba:
Major: Allow me, please. to inclose to
you three letters with contents as received,
for the inspection of such of your official
stan as 1t properly falls to.
This Is a rather fresh outbreak in the

though he has from time to time made US
aware Of him for a year at least and we
have not failed to try such means -as we
mad TO Introduce him to such parties as
would be interested in him, but thus far
without success. As he seams 10 be trou-
oled about his remittances / pass him on
to you. in the hope that some of your
benevoiently inclined officials may be able
to anord him some satisfaction, or point
out the proper persons or department to
do so.

expenditures on account of the navy dld
not average $50, 900, 900.
The money realized from the sale OF
per cent bonds does not appear In the re-
ceipts for the year This amount was turn
ed into the cash account. Only about sl9S,-
100000 has been received on account OF
these bonds, payments still being due ON
large purchases.
The Cash Balance.
The difference in the cash balance of the
treasury Is heavy, compared with year
ago, despite the fact that the cash balance
has been heavily drawn on The cash bal
ance at the close of the fiscal year 1893 was
$205 ,857 $40. the war expenditures to that
date having drawn heavily on 1t. 1t is es-
timated that the cash balance at the close
a difference of S71 00O,0 From the cash
account was also paid S14,UO,OO0 on ac-
count of Pacific railroads.
So far the amount paid on account OF
pensions is about S139 900 600; on account
of interest on the public debt, $40 100000;
to Indians, S12 ,675 600 and on the civil and
miscellaneous accounts, Silt 100000.
One treasury expert estimates that under
normal conditions the Dingley and internal
revenue laws would have produced a sur
plus of SD 900, 600 for the year. He figures
It this way:
