The Present Situation of the Question OF Fu-

WAR DEPARTMENT LEAK
In Division of ROlls-C1erk Offered
$1,000 by An Attorney.

There is a leak in the War Depart
ment, and it has just come to light
through the attempt of an attorney to
bribe an honest clerk. The Globe eX-
clusively lays the following details be.
fore the public:
A clerk in the Department was ap-
preached at his desk by an attorney
the past week. and asked for the rec.
ords in certain cases. The clerk po-
litely declined and referred the attOr-
ney to his instructions. The attorney
argued with the clerk on the propriety
Of Obeying such absurd instructions,
and finally mentioned a specific case
Of a dead soldier to whom the Govern
ment was indebted in a large sum. The
attorney wanted the records i'm this
case, and he finally made the PROPOSE
ton:
81 viii give you 1000 for permis-
sion to examine and copy these rec
ords.'
The clerk Indignantly refused, and
threatened to report the matter to his
chief. This persistent refusal nettled
the attorney; he lost his habitual eau
tiousness, and blurted out:
"Oh, very Well You refuse this
sum. Well. you are a fool can get
the records anyhow, through a lady on
the Divisional rolls, and it won't cost
as much"
He then departed, and a quiet inves-
tigation was inaugurated by the clerk
to ascertain who the lady leaker was.
He became satisfied however, that the
lady must be getting her information
from a male clerk, whom she has on
the string, and who occupies such po-
stion that he can do so without ex-
citing suspicion
This information has been given The
Globe that the matter may be brought
to the attention Of the Department, as
our informant, for delicate reasons,
does not want to figure in the affair
as a Department informer'
Thursday last a committe went
through the building perpetrating the
same old fake Of collecting a fund to
lobby a bill through Congress. OF
course, the proposed lobbyist clique
will divide among its members the
greater portion Of the collections, after
the usual fashion of these affairs.
The proposed bill is a "taker" and
the clerk who does not bite is "a wise
guy indeed. Ii is proposed to intro
duce a bill at the coming session to
pension Government clerks after 25
years service. The bill has about as
much chance of becoming a law as one
to make the Sunday Globe the official
organ of President Mckinley Even IL
such an absurd measure could pass the
Congress who would be benefited?
How many clerks Of 2j years servi.
tude are there now? And how few
there will be when the next Democratic
Administration takes hold and cleans
out the Auguean stables including the

Rear Admiral Schley's dispatch. when
shown to the authorities, aroused the
keenest interest. Following upon the
Admirars statement on Sunday that the
time for talking had passed and the time
for action had arrived, his decision Is
not surprising. BY the authorities, who
have been anxious that there shall be
the most searching inquiry not only into
the conduct of Rear Admiral Sampson

made by the Admiral is accepted with
outward show OF satisfaction.

that the full effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla

ing this medicine something besides a
blood purifier and tonic,-say, a sustain
ing diet. Ii makes it much easier to bear
