WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
'President Cleveland is deeply
■interested in the efforts that are
being made to ascertain if the
carelessness of any person was
responsible for the horrible trag
edv in Fords old theatre, which
killed twenty-one and injured
sixty-ocld clerks in the Records
. and Pensions office of the War
Department, although he has
wisely refrained from taking any
action that might be considered
as interfering with the properly
constituted authorities now en¬
gaged in that task. Great pres¬
sure is being brought to bear on
him to suspend or remove Col.
Ainsworth, the army officer who
is at the head cf that office, and
upon whom a great many people
are disposed to place the blame,
but Mr. Cleveland’s idea of fair
play is such that it is not prob¬
able that he will take any action
until there is more tangible evi¬
dence of Col. Ainsworth’s guilt
than public clamor for
hino a scapegoat. If he be guilty
surely-that fact can hardly escape
the coroner's jury now investigat¬
ing and the army court of inquiry
which will take the matter up at
the close of the inquest.
The improvement* in the finan¬
cial situation has been very mark¬
ed during the last few days, and
Treasury officials and others who
. keep close . watch , , £ financial -in af
on
fairs .... believe that Jt , the turn , , has
(Come in the flow of gold 1 abroad
and that the situation will ecu
tinue to iranrava It is certain l
that the gold ... in the treasury is .
again increasing at a gratifying
rate and that there is at present
no degaand for gold for
abroad. Secretary Morton
presses the opinion that from now
- o« «"»* *■** the
of the gold which we have
shipping to Europe, and the
that the large amount of gold
which the Rothschilds contracted
>to famish Austria has all been de
livprod erea is ia also -Can thnn^bf- thought. In to j, 9VP

rep
resenting the difference between
,the amount paid for the silver
.now stored in the Treasury vaults
: and its present selling price. If it
iieally had to be sold at once the
loss would probably be much
greater because of the further de¬
preciation in price that would
follow such a large quantity of
silver on the market.
Among the . consular appoint¬
ments made this week was that
of Bennington R. Bedle, of New
Jersey, to be Consul at Sheffield,
England, in place of Benjamin
Folsom, resigned. Mr. Folsom,
•who has field the position since
his appointment early in the fir: t
Cleveland administration, is a
cousin of Mrs. Cleveland’s and as
^’Cousin Ben,” he figured m gill
the republican papers as proof
President Cleveland was not in
earnest when he declared himself
opposed to nepotism. Wonder
what those same fellows will say
now that Mr. Folsom has volun¬
tarily resigned? The chances are
{that they will ignore it entirely
gild cay nothing.
Secretary Carlisle has, in one
fespeet, a long lead of all the oth
er heads of department-, hi nee
taking charge of the Tre-nsury lie
#ias replaced*wore than AO
publican officials outside the Clas¬
sified service, with good demo¬
crats.
Democratic Congressmen, after
hard and stubborn fight, have
succeeded incotivincing Rostmare
ter General Bissell that his rule
against, the removal of republican
fourth-class postmasters who have
served four years or more, unless
charges are tiled against them, is
a bad one, and it will be recalled
3 1V ^ republicans who have
been in office four years or more
will be replaced by democrats
just as last as they can be .got at
Mr. Maxwells office.
A letter received by Mr. Cleve¬
land this week furnishes conclu¬
sive proof /if proof were needed,
of the wisdom of the establish -
merit in the Pension Bnreau of a
Board of Revision, the sole duty
of which is to go over all the pen
sions that have been granted
der the law of 1890 and determine
Whether they were granted in. ae¬
cordance with a proper construe
tion of that law. The writer of
this letter, Mr. J. M. Bnrnett, is
an ex-employe of the office, who
voluntarily resigned during the
last administration because he
could not conscientiously take
part in carrying out Rauni’s
methods. He tells the President
of a large number of pensions i!
. legally ,, granted, , and . gives . names,
dates, and the number of the ap
plications, so that his statements
may be easily verified. He says
that thousands of pensions have
been illegally granted, and that
they are not confined to cases in
which the law was wrongfully
construed, , . but , , include . , .
’ an enor
number granted , , . direct

instance, the premiums on a Life

the Company, cause the policy to
mature in about 22 years, iu which
