PENNY-WISE ADMINISTRATION.

The Treasury Literally Robbing

Peter to Pay PaulDay by Day.

WASHINGTOX, D. C, Aug. 22.-Thisisthe sedson for fishing excursions, andfor pleasant summer junkets at UncleSam's expense. Itis too hot fnr the ofli-cials to work. The President himself setsthe example by going fishing in BuzzardsBay. The Secretary of War found it abso-lutely necessary to make a tour of thegreat West to inspect military posts andreservations; Hoke Smith has been eatingwatermelons in Georgia; the Secretary ofthe Navy has been taking a sea voyasre onthe Government dispatch-boat; the Secre-tary of the Treasury is on a trip on thegreat lakes aboard a Government tender;his son, Logan Carlisle, returned a week ortwo ago from Europe, where he went withAssistant Secretary Curtis on "businessconnected with the Government finances" ;that is to say, to see the English pawn-brokers. The Assistant Secretary of theNavy has just returned from a sea trip;Secretary of State Olney is away, alsoAssistant Secretary Uhl; Assistant Secre-tary of the Treasury Hamlin is in Massa-chusetts.

The Commissioner of Railroads took ajunket to the Pacific States and returned alew weeks ago; Carlisle's private secretary,Van Senden, went on an excursion to Cali-fornia and Oregon to look after "businessconnected with the mint"; the CivilSer-vice Commissioners willsoon begin a tourof the entire country;Supervising Archi-tect Aiken leaves next weefc for the farWest "to look after public building con-struction"; the Director of the Mintfindsitnecessary to go out to the coast to helpVan Senden in the mint business.

The executive officials always find thatthe "exigencies of the public business"must take them out of here during the hotmonths. The private eecretary of one ofthe Cabinet officers is casting about for areason that willdemand his presence inCalifornia, as he has never visited the coastand wants to see the country.

The Secretary of the Navy, although heis now away on a junket himself, does notbelieve in vacations for mere clerks. Hisown private secretary was away on a littleexcursion and overstayed his leave of ab-

. sence. He was promptly "docked" by the{Secretary of the Navy in order to make ahorrible example.

This seems to be a penny-wise, pound-foolish administration.Itis related that when Cleveland came

Into the Presidential office in1885 the' cashin the treasury was counted to see whetherthe wicked Republicans had been tappingthe till during their twenty -five years' in-cumbency. After a laborious count, last-ing many weeks, the oificeru reported thatall was found but 1 cent, and this wasafterward discovered in a crack. A fewweeks ago President Cleveland was for-warded 1 cent to make his salary accountbalance, thus showing the precision andaccuracy of the treasury's bookkeeping.

But although the present regime is care-fulabout pennies, they let the dollars takecare of themselves.

The officials were very scrupulous intheir honesty when they forwarded thePresident his 1cent, but the payment of$5,000,000 to the Louisiana sugar-growersand $250,000 to those in California wasquite another matter.

Secretary Carlisle is really responsiblefor Comptroller Bowler's action, Mr.Car-lisle wants to save every cent possible tothe treasury, in order to make as good afinancial showins as he can. The treas-ury is literally robbing Peter to pay Paul.But, notwithstanding all the efforts of theadministration, it is cenerally believedthat Uncle Sam willsoon have to visit thepawnbroker's office again.

The desire of the Secretary ofthe Treas-ury to husband his treasury funds is thereal reason why the Postoffice buildings atSan Francisco and inother cities are notcommenced.Itis suggested by a facetious Washing-

ton man that if the administration is so.. anxious to save a few dollars it might. be well to call in its horde of summer

junketers.

SOME VXSAFE BVIITtIXGB.

Theaters Conducted inJfetc Yorie Regard-less of the Law.

NEW YORK, N. V., Aug. 22.— The re-port of Snperintendent of Buildings Con-stable on the theaters of this city was notgiven to the Mayor ye&terday afternoon ashad been expected. Constable told a re-porter that the report would make a sensa-tion. He said he could not go into detailsabout it until the Mayor had seen it. buthe could say that out of fifty-two placesof amusement licensed by the Mayor six-teen had not observed the law. As thelaw does not permit the superintendent ofbuildings to condemn a theater for insuffi-cient arrangements for lire Constable willrecommend to the Mayor that he revokethe licenses of the sixteen theaters untilthe necessary changes have been made.

"We found some theaters without fire-proof proscenium arches," said Constable."We found others without adequate rire-escapes. We found others without tire-proof stages and scenery. We found othersin which carpenter-shops were maintainedon and under the stage, in direct violationof the law, and others in which scenery ofthe most inflammable sort was storedunder the stage, and others still withnocks and corners and spaces below theauditorium, stage and stairs filled withrubbish of the most dangerous kind. Wealso found theaters conducted in buildingsabsolutely unsafe inevery reewect and thelaw utterly disregarded. We found a fewof the theaters whose managei'3 were com-plying with the law. This is noticeablytrue of the recently built theaters."

WITH GREATEST EASEJoe Patchen Won Three

Straight Heats FromGentry.

ORDINARY TIME MADE.

A Strong Breeze Was Blowing

and Greatly Retardedthe Speed.

CUREY HAD AN EASY TEIXG.

McHenry Used the Whip Liberally,but His Horse Was Unable

to Respond.

CHICAGO, 111., Aug. 22.-Joe Patchenwon three straight heats frOm John R.Gentry at Washington Park to-day andwon them with the greatest ease. Therewas a strong south breeze blowing; downthe stretch and Starter McArty delayedthe first heat of the big event until afterthe heat of the 2:25 class. After scoring acouple of times McArty j:a/e the word oneven terms, the heavy wind and track pre-eluding the possibility of breaking a record.

To the half they raced necu and neck,when McHenry called on Gentry and heforged to the fore. Curry sat still and inthe stretch made his call. Patchen re-sponded gamely and won easily in 2:05}-4',with Gentry a length to the bad. Thetime by quarters in this the fastest heatwas: Quarter, 32^5 half, 1:02}^; three-quarter?, l:32>k; mile, 2:03^.

In the second heat Patchen led all theway. McHenry went to the whip atthe half, but Gentry could not re-spond. Curry pulled Patchen up, jogginghome in 2:O7J^. Afterthis heat Curry an-nounced that he was going for the recordand would not wait forGentry. The thirdheat was easily Patchen's, as Gentry hadtired under punishment in the previousheat on coming into the stretch. Alto-gether the race was a vast disappointmentto the 12,000 persons present. At no timedid Gentry act as though he had a chanceto win a heat.

Only one of the regular races on the cardwas finished, the others being postponeduntil to-morrow. . .

DUPED MANY CREDITORSConfidence Scheme Worked

by a Captain of theChicago Hussars.

Bought Goods on Credit and FledWith the Proceeds of

Their Sale.

CHICAGO, 111., Aug. 22.—The ChicagoHussars have lost a dashing lieutenant andthe Chicago Looking-glass Company, withoffices at 11 to 23 Jefferson street, is minusa president. Conrad H. Beyer, a youngGerman, held both these positions prior toAugust 13, at which time the looking-glasscompany failed and Lieutenant Beyer dis-appeared. His creditors at once began pro-ceedings to learn the state of Beyer'sfinances and incidentally to find out wherehe was located. Several of his creditors,including his brother, Charles F. Beyer,were examined in the County Court yester-terdav by Attorney Jacob Newman.

Beyer, according to Mr.Newman's state-ment, was concealed in the house ofsome member or members of the ChicagoHussars from August 13 until last Fri-day, when he and his wife left thecity, bound, Newman thinks, for Frank-fort-on-the-Main, the former home ofMrs. Beyer. They took with them over$50,000 in cash, he says. The lawyer repre-sented to the court that little would be leftfor the creditors unless the fugitives arebrought back. Detectives are now watch-intr all the outgoing steamers.

The National Bank of Illinois is said tohave a claim against Beyer for $10,000 andtlie Firßt National Bank one for$0000.

The allegation is that Beyer obtained themoney which he took with him by pur-chasing goods from dealers ostensibly foruse by the looking-glass company, but thegoods were sent directly to warehousesand the receipts therefor taken and pledgedfor cash. Between August 1and August 13Newman says Beyer secured between $20,---000 and $25,000 worth of goods, which hedisposed of as indicated.

Beyer came to Cnicago about ten yearsago and dealt in Lake View real estate fora time, finally taking up the looking-glassbusiness. A few years ago, according tothe statement of his brother, who was onthe witness-stand yesterday, Conrad mar-ried Fraulein Estenfeld ofFrankfort-on-the-Main, daughter of a member of the firm ofEstenfeld & Nicolai, contractors to theGerman army. Herr EBtenfeld is verywealthy, and he supplied his daughter withconsiderable money before her marriage,all of which, it is alleged, her husbandpromptly spent in this country. Beyerlived in a beautiful house at 3281 Arling-ton street, Lake and this and suchother property as could be secured by legalprocess is now in the hands of the Sheriffto satisfy his creditors.

BELIEF WOBK IN ARMENIA.

Pleas for Clemency In Behalf ofMrs. Maybrlok to Receive Just

Consideration.

LONDON, Eng., Aug. 22.—1n the Houseof Commons to-day Walter H. Long, presi-

dent of the Board of Agriculture, refusedthe demand of Mr. White that the briefofficialreport of inquiry into the two casesof pleuro-pneumonia alleged to have beenrecently found in cattle at Deptford belaidon the table of the House. Mr.Long,however, offered to supply Mr. White per-sonally with a copy of the report.

Mr. White asked if,inview of the con-flictof opinions of Canadian and Britishexperts and also inview of the assertionof the Dominion Government that conta-gious pleuro-pneumonia had never beenknown in any part of the Dominion, Mr.Long would accept the Dominion's invita-tion to send a veterinary expert to Canadatoelucidate the facts.

Mr.Long said he did not see that itwould be of any assistance. His own viewwas based upon the actual detection ofcases of the disease in England. He sawno need of making any special experi-ments with the last cases discovered, asthe Department of Agriculture was per-fectly satisfied with the opinions of itsadvisors.

Sir John Leng, member for Dundee,asked A. J. Balfour, First Lord of theTreasury, whether inconsonnace with theviews he had repeatedly expressed hewould advise that the Government invitethe assemblage of an international confer-ence in order to obtain an agreement inregard to the currency. Mr.Balfour saidhe had always been strongly infavor ofan international agreement upon the cur-rency question, but that he had no rightto pledge his colleagues to such an opin-ion, nor had he any reason for thinkingBuch an agreement would result at thepresent moment ftom an international con-ference. A second abortive conference, hethought, would be very undesirable.

George Curzon, Under Foreign Secretaryof Affairs, stated that under instructionsVice-Consul Hampton had visited the dis-trict of Sassoun, in Armenia, with the ob-ject of having the foreign missionaries actIn concert in the distribution of food andother supplies for the support of the in-habitants of the villages in their vicinityduring the coming winter.

In regard to the Christian prisoners ar-rested by the Turkish authorities, he said,eince the decree of amnesty issued on July23, the prisoners confined in Constanti-nople had been released, but there wasreason to suppose that a number of pris-oners were still detained in Angora atBitlis, DiarbKir and elsewhere, and the at-tention of the Porte had been called to thisaction of the Provincial Governors.

Dr. Tanner, the anti-Parnellite, whorepresents the middle division of CountyCork, who was suspended for a week fordisorderly conduct in the House, reap-peared in the chamber to-day, the time ofhis suspension having expired. He was ingood spirits.

Several short speeches on the estimateswere made.

T. P.
