WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Happenings from Day to Day m Die National CapiiaL Appointments In the Various Depart¬ ments—Other Notes of Interest. George W. Sanderlin, of North Car¬ olina, was appointed auditor of the treasury Friday. Postmaster General Bisseli lifts re¬ scinded his order that no republican postmasters should be removed with¬ out charges being filed against tho in¬ cumbent. NVilliam M. Meredith, chief of Hie bureau of engraving and printing; William W. Rollins, collector of inter¬ nal revenue for the fifth district of North Carolina; John W. Fisher, col¬ lector of custom at Richmond, \a., have resigned. Thursday the names of sixty-seven clerks were dropped from the rolls of the general land oifici (>f this number, six were from class 4, $1,800 per annum; nineteen from class 3, $1,600 per annum ; sixteen from class 2, $1,400; ten from class 1, $1,200; eight from the one thousand class, and eight from the copying class, $990. Frank Aldrich, until recently quart minister general of the National Guards, lias left Washington mys¬ teriously, having debts to the amount of $20,000. lie was also eopimissiom r of weights and measures for the Dis¬ trict of Columbia, His downfall is due to the fact that he thought he saw millions in a power company which he established, borrowing money reck¬ lessly to keep afloat. The president, Monday, appointed Milton A. (Smith to bo postmaster at Anniston, Ala., vice S. B. Randolph, removed; Will. S. Norwood at Titus villo, Fla., vice R. C. Herimngow, re¬ moved; It. H. Moses at Carrollton, Ga., vice 0. H, Murrell, removed; Thus. A, Daily at Darien, On., vice C. L. Jackson, ofliei become presidential; Joseph Hoar at Georgetown, H. J. N. Hpccry, removed. The opinion of the court of appeals in deciding that the vvorl'I’sCidumluan exposition at Chicago s hail he opened on Sunday was received at Washing ton by a press bulletin early Saturday afternoon. Attorney General Gluey at a late hour had received no official announcement of the fact, He said that his department had a clear record in the ease and had exhausted every legal means to enforce the inundate of congress in tho matter. It seems to be throughly understood in Washington that Colonel Blount has resigned the Hawaiian mission, The state department has never yet ac¬ knowledged it nor yet positively de¬ nied it. His resignation is unexplain¬ able, unless he returns with the inten¬ tion of entering local policies again. Proctor Knott is fixed upon by the political prognosticators of the capital as the man who will be intrusted to finish tlu> work begun by Blount. One of the best places in the treas¬ ury depart mini is that of chief of the bureau ol engraving and printing. The salary is $1,500 a year with a car¬ riage furnished and certain other per¬ quisites which add to the comfort of the incumbent President Harrison appointed to this position his old friend ami army comrade, Captain William P. Meredith, originally of Indiana. Captain Meredith will be succeeded in office by Claude M. Johnson, of Lexington, Kentucky. Tlie following John appointments were of made Monday : J. Fawny, Tennessee, to be collector of internal revenue for the Second district of Tennessee; Hope l.liu if North Carolina, for the Fifth district of North Carolina; Charles M.

There was a slight failing oi. *** shij'UiiaU ut curr ency Friday. It wg* estimated that flm amount would fall a a good deal sh*>rt of $1,000,000. Iho demand for currency lias had tho ef¬ fect of increasing the amount of free gold in the treasury and theurnoimt of such gold at the day’s close exceeded $92,000,000, which is a gain of more than $2,000,000 over last week. Of this sum $1,500,000 came from the National City bank, which has been one of tbc largest shippers of cur¬ rency to tho west. The National City bank lias kept all its reserve in gold and was thus enabled to com¬ ply readily with the demands of its country correspondents, a fact upon which it prides itself. But for the fact that the treasury has lmd to pay out large sums for pensions, it would have shown a large gain *i legal tenders, a large amount of which was received from the banks for currency, Thus far the Hubtreusury lias been < nabled to meet pretty nearly all the demands for currency, but there is a scarcity of “ones," “twos” am 1 “fives,” and it. is understood on gold or legal tenders for these. For notes of such denomi nations it accepts treasury certificates as well as legal tenders. < bliicnr Ki'ufNtraUiiii.

Judge Bruce Decides the Question of Two Appointments iu Alabama. Monday, in the United States court, at Birmingham, before Judge Bruce, arguments were made in the eases of Lewis K. Parsons vs. Hnunctt O’N’iel, and A. N. Niningcr vs. J. ('. Mus grove. Piirsoiis and Niningcr are the recently removed district attorney and United States marshal, respective¬ ly, and O'Niel and Musgrove, the re cent appointees of President Cleveland for the northern district of Alabama. The matter was argued in the form of a conference to ascertain whom the court would recognize as the officials of his court in opening this, an ad¬ journed term. In the course of his decision Judge Bruce said: This court will presume that the pres blent and the attorney general and their advisers have acted within their rights, It is clear in mv mind that these papers are regular aud must be recognized, “1 shall recognize them and proceed to open court and trv the eases set down for thi.-. term. A motion wits made that an order is¬ sue for ex District Attorney Parsons and *\ United States Marshal Niniu ger to turn over the luniks aud papers in their possession belonging to flu* government. Judge Bruce signified liis willingness to issue such au order. It is said that- Parsons and Niningcr will institute proceedings in the court of claims for the salary from date un¬ til next February.

For the first time in the history of the Hawaiian islands tho Hawaiian national flag wus floated over the pal¬ ace on June 2d. Tho formal occupa¬ tion of the palace by the provisional government and the raising of the na tional emblem over it is regarded by the annexationists generally and by many of the natives as a final blow to monarchy. The Capitol National bank at Indi¬ anapolis, which suspended business May lltli, resumed business Monday morning. The bank edlicials received many congratulatory words from the business men. “The comptroller re¬ quired that should have $7o(),000, ” we said President Byram. “We have about eight hundred thousand dollars money enough for all.” A dispatch of Sunday from New York says: A modification of the Richmond Terminal plan has been made so uh to bring in the East Ten¬ nessee, Virginia and Georgia equip¬ ment and improvement bond, thus giving the committee control of the East Tennessee system, The Ciucin nati extension bonds are now ull that remain to bo brought in.

A New Y k special of Thursday Bays: The ; usinoss men of the city are much elat' d over the action of the managers of l*he banks belonging to the clearing »ouso. The very serious aspect that til financial and commer¬ cial situation,'its assumed, has led to the necessity i some combined action on the par; of New York banks. (Similar action has been taken be¬ fore in tirot - of panic. It practi¬ cally takes the form of an issue of clear¬ ing house certificates to those banks which, wh perfectly solvent, have their funds •> in time loans and are pressed rdfedy cash. No cer tificates ar ti»ned except to those banks know, to be in good condition, and only ill a upon 8f3curities whose value lias '•<:< n carefully passed upon by he clearing house committee/ jeso certificates pass as currfvpj funds between the banks, .J*- * thus be used in the settlement of alauces, relieving the banks that ml / have a largo debit bnl ance in the cl taring huose, from set¬ tling in cash.rX As the bank’s paper is paid off and t.qe general situation irn proves the balks are required to take up their cent cates as quickly as pos¬ sible.

The blaze started ou the first! floor, and in a few min¬ utes the ttnanes fourth shot up ns far as the third and floors. Then a panic followed. ; The inmates, all Polish Hebrews, excitable under any circum¬ stances, we?o maddened.

A most important meeting of in¬ surance men representing every COlil pauy doing business in Tennessee will be held iu Nashville, June 26th, and upon the result much depends. The question to be decided is whether the companies will comply with the state law or withdraw from the state. Chapter 122 of the acts of 1891 pro tides that each and every corporation created or organized under or by vir tu© of any government other than that of the slat* for any purpose whatever, shall fiist file in the office of the secre¬ tary of the state a copy of its charter and cause *n abstract of the same to In' recorded in the office of the reg¬ ister in each county in which such corpora!!,'!, desires to carry on its j business.

The distribution of the sexes is in some cases very uneven, considered by States, hut in the aggregate the divis¬ ion is a surprisingly close one. Thus, in the entire country there are 32,000, 000 men and 31,000,000 women. Men are in the majority in all the states and territories except in the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, North Carolina, Maryland, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, South Carolina, Virginia and New Jersey, in which there are more women than men. The District of Columbia has the largest proportionate excess of female population and Mon¬ tana contains the largest per cent of men. In New Jersey the two sexes are most nearly equally represented. The Panama Silk Tree. One of the greatest curiosities of the Panama isthmus is the vegetable silk tree. It is a plant that grows from 15 to 20 feet high, and in appearance does not differ greatly from other trees, but the inner bark is a perfect silky fiber, long, smooth and strong. The natives separated it by some method best known to themselves, the process somewhat resembling that of beating flax. When once it is separated and spun into threads, it can be woven into a fabric bo closely resembling silk that it is difficult for any one not familiar with it to distinguish between the two. This species of silk goods is in high favor on the isthmus, and a Colombian belle is never happier than when she is arrayed in a gayly colored dress made from the trees in her father’s yard.— St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Sultan’s Gift. The Sultan of Turkey has sent a magnificent present to President Cleve¬ land as an evidence of the good will that exists between their respective countries. It is a superb and artistic¬ ally wrought gold medal set with cost¬ ly diamonds. The design is commem¬ orative of the four hundredth anniver¬ sary of the discevery of America, and it has pictured on it tho Columbian caravels. The medal is said to have cost over $20,000. The President will not accept it as a personal gift, but has decided that he will have it placed in the museum of the State depart¬ ment.
