■\Vabhisgtox, Juno 8.—Durfoj? the severe
thunder •torm last Friday, Washington jnou'
nmett was struck by lightning, resulting in
trifling damage to the capstone. To day a
committee consisting of Profcsibc.Rowland, of
Johns Hopkins’ university; professor New
comb, professor Mendenhall, of the signal ser
Tice, end Colonel Casey examined the roof of
the monument for the purpose dt determining
whether it is necessary to make any changes
In the? manner* of protecting tho monument
from lightning. The examination resulted in
the conclusion that the apparatus for carrying
eff electricity inside thb mbhumont tras all
that could be desired. In fact, it was almost
too good, the trouble being an Insufficient con
nection with the outside. The committee will
make a report in writing as to tho necessary
Work to be done.
The national and state banks are showing a
disposition to assist the treasury in getting
the minor silver coins into circulation, and
offers are received daily from tho banks to
fake a specified sum weekly in this currency,

Catlett Gibson, for the eastern district of Vir
ginia.
William II. Yarborough, to bo collector in
ternal revenue 4th district of North Carolina;
Bobert Taylor, to be pension ’agfent at Knox-
yillo, Tcnh., vice N. It. Gibson suspended.
The secretary of the treasury has been in
formed that Aufdemortc, the defaulting officer

THE MISSISSIPPI DIRT.
Comptroller Durham has just renderod an
Important decision as to whether tho debt due
lo the state of Mississippi by the government
Shall be paid or applied as a eredit against the
direct taxes certified as due from said stato by
• tho lormor comptroller. Comptroller Taylor
certified that tho direct taxes apportioned by
tho act of 1801 wero due from the state. The
S eater portion of theso remain unpaid, and
e state stands charged with them on tho book
of the department. Under this certificate,
there is now duo to tho state -<6n account of
commissions on net proceeds df the sales of
public lands therein, an amount less than the
balance of the taxes unpaid and charged as
Stated. Section 1766 of the revised statutes
requires tho accounting officers to withhold
payment from any person who lain arrears to
iho government, and to make a sot off. Two
questions arise: 1st, is tho stato In its corpo
rate capacity indobtod to thb Unitod States or
account of direct taxes? If not, how far is
the pr esent controller bound by the certificate
of Controller Taylor in applying the provis
ions of section "1700 or the revised statutes.
Controller Durham holds that under tho com
Stltution direct taxes wero assessed against tho
citizens of the ■ state, and not agamsnt the
state, and hence were not an indebtedness of
.the state in its corporate capacity; that the
certificate of tho former controller is
under section 101 revised statutes
and tho supremo court decisions
;binding upon hit successor, and subject to re
vision only by congress or the courts. He de
cides, therefore, tu withhold final aotion upon
Iho matter until the attention of congress can
. be called to the same, which will be done in
bis next annual report to the secretary of tho
treasury. Tho principle involved in this case
affects a good many states and a very con
siderable amount.
Washikotox, June 11.—Among a number of
Suggutions mado to the secretary of the treas
ury, designed to prevent any repetition of the
recent defalcation at the New Orleans sub.
treasury, is one which proposed to reduce the
amount of government monsy at that point to
Irom about $18,000,000 to $5,000,000, and to
distribute It among tbe various national and
State banks of New Orleans, aa deposits, upon
their giving appropriate security in govern
ment bonds, to be deposited in the Unitod
states treasury at Washington. This plan, aa
submitted to tho secretary, refers
only to New Orleans, although
evidently the purpose of Us originators seems
to contemplate its extension to the other sub-
treeiuiies if it should be adopted, and prove
satisfactory at New Orleans. No action has as
yet been taken on this proposition, or upon
any of the other suggestions above referred to,
but they are all under consideration. Treas
urer Jordon is said to have suggested the
abovo described plan, and to be strongly
urging U. One evening papor says arrange
ments have already progressed far toward
cariy tog it into effect.
The Evening Star publishes a number of
•_a t r_ a
quired as to tho proper method of filing an
application for office. The reply is of inter
est to all seeking places undor the govern
ment, and is given to tho press for publics
tion. It says:
To secure attention to an appltoattou Nor ap
r-ointment, a particular position should be
named. When this is done, the pipers are filed
In the proper department, and wnen tbe nutter
of the appointment is to be determined, the uainet
of the candidates and a brief of their indorsers are
laid before the president by tbe head of the de
partment.
Wabhikoto x, Juno 12.—Commissioner
Sparks, of tho land office, this afternoon sub
mitted to Secretary Lamar a report upon the
famous Maxwell land grant In northern Now
Mexico, for which nearly tftfb mfllion acres of
f ublic land were claimed and patented in 1879.
he official proceedings leading up to tho pat
ent are recited in detail by tho commissioner,
who then says: -; .
Pending there proceeding a large number of let-
teis, com plain ts. petitions, protests and charges
were transmitted to this office and department
from citizens of hew Mexico, alleging fraud tu
the location and boundaries of thoclalm; its ex
tension is far beyond any original claim orposies-
sion by the grantees, the invasion of settlement
and mining r ights and the rights of native tnhab-
tants and Indian occupants. Noth
ing more than a mere formal
notice of these various complaints and
allegations appears to have been taken or done by
this office. No investigation was had, but the
claim for this enormous region of country appears
to have been carried through by official readiness,
ent, but expressed the opinion that tbe plan
la in direct violation of the well eetabllebed
prl.clplca, end involves substantial!/ tbe
principle maintained by President Jackton
.gainst the banks. Tbe others were open In
expronioni upon either side of the question.
Delegate McGinnis, of Montana, and Repra-
aentatlve Wilkins,of Ohio,thought thescheme
wood and feasible. Governor Plalsted, of
Maine, thought it would work
mischief with the banks by encouraging
speculative banking. Frank Hurd said ho
waa under the impreaslon that the democratic
part/ had alwa/a taken grounds in direct an-
iagoiiim to such a plan. Representative
George D. Wise, of Virginia, said he wai not
prepared to accept such a plan. It waa too
great a revolution of all tha old democratic
ideal end doetrinee. It waa a thing that the
part/ bad alwa/a'oppoaed. It waa for tho
benefit of tho banka and looked
like a bank monopoly. It leemed
to look to the perpetuation
of the national debt, for the eecurlt/ of tho
e/stem depended npon the debt only. If the
debt were paid off it lenened tha amount tn

' of the ntw administration tb. heads of the
varices departments have received numerous
applications for office without any .pacifica
tion aa to what particular office the applicant
deeirid, and to day a letter waa sent Irom tke
white house, in answer to a communication
from a gentlemen in Philadelphia, who to
wer e manifest in tbe bold fact of the presentation
of tho claim for nearly 2.000,000 acres, baaed upon
a grant of less than 100,000 acres.
The commissioner describes tho methods by
which the apparent fraud was effected, points
out tho collusive acta of the- department offi
cials, and in conclusion recommends that
eiutablc action be taken looking to a vigorous
f irosccution of the suit now pending in the die.
rict court of Colorado, and that a new suit bo
commenced in New Mexico, whore the greater
portion of the lands lie, to set aside the patents
already issued under this grant. The grant
has been made the basis of a stock company,
which has absorbed sevoral million dollars of
Enslfeh and Dutch money.
He C. Do Ahns, who some weeks ago caused
tho arrest of tho commissioner of tho land
office for aerftult, was to-day dismissed from
hie position as special timber agont of the
land office.
Washington, June IS.—The president appoint
ed Frank Gordon, of Georgia, son of General John
B. Gordon, to bo (principal clerk of tho surveys of
the general land office. Mr. Gordon is a young
lawyer, of Atlanta, and is a son of ex-Senator
Goidon. He succeeds Oscar Hlnrfchv, removed.'
Aaron Bradshaw, chairman of the board of
pension appeals of the interior department, has
been supciceded by John Rogers, of Kansas.
Regers Is laid to be a lawyer of ability, and his ap-
g rimmest was urged by a number of influential
ansaa democrats. He was a brigadier-general
attached to the army of Tennessee, and is said to
have been the youngest officer of that rank in the
service during the war.
Washington, June 14.—Among the tables
in the special report of tho directors of tho
mint on tho production of gold and silver,
soon to bo published, is a statement by years,
showing the deposits of domestic gold bullion
at the mints and assay offices from Jury 1st,
1873, to January 1st, 1885, which amounted to
$415,000,000 and also the production as esti
mated by the directors of the mint during the
same period amounting $428,000,000. The
total estimate for the eloven and a half years
being only $13,000,000 In excess of tho depos
its oi domestic gold.
Daring the last fiscal- years the deposits of
reign gold coin and bullion have oxceeded
tho net imports by over $13,000,000, showing
that considerable foreign coin is brought by
immigrants upon their, persons and that sotno
foreign gold bullion probably brought by rail
is not reported at tho customhouse.
Another table shows the gold coinage at tho
United States mints for the last twelvo fiscal
years which amounts, alter deducting United
States gold coins, re-raelted, to $545,100,114.
PROHIBITION IN TEXAS.
The Georgian Speaker of the Texan Repre
sentatives Makes a lireak.
Dallas,Jane 14.—Considerable surprise has
been creatod here at tho intelligence that tho
Hon. L. L. Foster, editor of tho Limestono
New Era, and speaker of the house of repra-
tentative* in tho present Texas legislature,
has gone on the stump in Limestono county
advocating prohibition. It is rumored
that Mr. Foster aspires to lead
the prohibition party m the next
campaign aa its candidate for gov
ernor, hoping to combine all elements of tho
opposition to the democracy in his favor. For
the past three months in democrats inner
circles it has been understood that Mr. Foster
was to bo booked for lieutenant-governor in
tbe next campaign, with a north Texas man
at the head or the tickot, but as tho prohibi
tionists are antagonistic to tho attitude of the
democracy on the liquor question, and
as they recently, at the Dallas con
vention, announced themselves a distinct po
litical party, and also denounced the democ
racy and tho legislature lor refusing to submit
a prohibition amendment to the constitution
to the vote of the people, and as Mr. Foster
waa speaker of the lower honse of that body,
his present position is regarded as remarkable.
There are many who claim that his promi
nence in the democratic party, and his popu
larity among tho morality and conserva
tive elements is such that his candi
dacy would greatly weaken the democracy
and strengthen the prohibition cause. The
lusliits in the ranks of the prohibition

Mr. Gladstone immediately adjourned the

BOW TUB QirrSTIO.V AROSE.
Mr. Childers, chancellor of tbe exchequer,
announced that tho government had dooldod
to not refund to the tax payera the amount
increased duty on spirits paid over and above
the extra shilling por gallon finally decided
os, because the consumers had boon charged a
higher rate after the announcement of the
original Increase. Tho government would,
however, Mr. Childers added, cause an ioqui-
ry to bo made to ascertain If there existed
sufficient reason to modify this decision.
Mr. Chlldera had no sooner done explaining
the' government's reason for not at presont
refunding than Sir Miehaol Hicks Beach, con
servativo member lor East Gloucestershire,
rose quickly and asked why it
wee that a liberal government
which ought Ur bo economical
had to resort to extrome lorms of taxation ip
order to meet an extraordinary expenditure
ol 1100,000,000. This question was groeted
with cheers from the tory benches. Sir
Michael went on and denounced the increased
duty on spirits.' Ho said tho receipts Irom
spirits were alroady decreasing. Ho thought
that s smell increeee in the duty on ton would
bevo been wiser end much more profitable. Tho
governmont, he continued, should have raised
the duly on wino, because wlno was no moro
a nccetsily ol llfo than beer or spirits. Sir
Michael concluded by moving that the pro
posed increase In the duty on spirits and bool
was inequitable in absence of a corresponding
addition to tho duties on wino.
MR. GI.ADSTOKr'S SrRECH.
Sir Stafford Korthcnt end othera having
spoken, Mr. Gladstone arose to reply. He
thought that tho opposition wero creating a
precedent which they would rogrot when thoy
camo into power again. Tho previous reduc
tion of wino duties had a beneficial
effect In preventing adulteration
and increasing trado many
millions annually. It would be most Impolitic
to Increase tho wine duty unless under the
most extremo pressure. Tho government wore
compelled to raiso money in view ot tho im
pending danger to thoempiro, n danger which
oven sow, he wrs unable to say had ptssed
away. The opposition cavilled at tho mode
of raising the money without euggaiting an
allcrativo. Tea would requiro an
additional tax ol throo ponco per
pound to produce tbe same amount, thus rais
ing the duty eevenly-fivo per cent on nu inno-
cout bovortgo. The governmont had to choso
between alcoholic liquors and ton and sugar.
They would accept tho issueof tho voto as one
ol life or death, and did not envy thoso who,
if they gain a victory, would havo to boar tho

astleally waved their hats, and

that in view of tho defeat lest night it would
be inconsistent for tho members or the cabinet
to remain longer in office, end it was resolved
that their resignations be tendered the queen

The marquis ol Salisbury bee consented to
form a ministry with Sir Stafford Northcote
ts chancellor of the exchequer.
Tho attendance at this afternoon's session ol
tbe house of commons and the house of lords
wee very large, and there wts unusual anima
tion in ell tbe groups occupying the lobbies ol
both bouses before the sitting.
The News says that tbe statements thst
Gledstone intends to retire from tne leadership
of the liberals is unauthorised. The eerl ol
Aberdeen bee offered Gladstone the use
of hie residence near London
for tho remainder of tbe session. Tho
meesenger from Gladstone arrived at Balmo

queen leavM Balmoral on Tuesday, and will
arrive at Windsor Castle Wedneedey morning.
It is stated that a message from the queen has
arrived for Sir Stafford Northcote.
Loxoox, June U.—The queen, it h sold, n
delighted over Mr. Gladstone's downfall. The
I’srnellltM, who accomplished bis orarthrov,
aro going to encounter the hardest times they
have ever had. The marquis of Salisbury,
everybody ie beginning to see,lacks selfcoa*
fidcnce. lie baa been bold, but never far
sighted, as the leader ol the opposition, but
tho very moment the Gladstone ministry re
signed, the marquis of Salisbury became a
supplicant lor public help and voxel
he would not take power unfitis
the liberele “gave hie government
a shew.’’ Mr. Gladstone never naked a “show"
from anybody. The queen could not conceal
her eatlifeetlon over the change in polities.
She never liked Gledstone. Bo was too eupv
rior to atiquette. He could not flatter and
waa impatient ae a state servant to the tbrono.
Her mejeity wee eo pleased over the prospe it
of again having e tory end en assistant at
the held of affairs that she telegraph'd
her acceptance of Mr.'Gladatone’s res iraftthn
and by wire itunmoned tbe marquis of 8&li«
bury to Balmoral to accept tbe trust of f irm*
fnga new government. It is understood thst
tbe marquis of Salisbury will refrain from
entering upon tbe work of forming a nevr
cabinet until after be baa had conference*
with all tbe conservative leaders*' Singular
as it mey appear to foreigners, tbe chief po'
litica! interest of Britons just now does not
seem to be in the construction of a new min
istry but prtocipally in the foreign policy,
and secondly in the Irish policy of tbe conser
vative government. Parnell certainly mast
bare tbe measure of bis ambition nearly filled
when be boa succeeded in making the affair*
of Ireland tbe most important subject of Brit
ish interest after English foreign affairs.
Mr. Gladstone's intimation of a determina
tion to ratire from public life bo, tor the pres
ent, utterly disorganised liberal arrange
ments for tbs coming slsetoral struggle.
Desperate efforts have been mode to secure
campaign speeches during tho
suing election. Tho only
gsgement admitted by Gladstone is one
for Midlothian. In a recent letter declining a
request for a speech elsewhere, the premlor
states that he has given a verbal promise to
bispolitlcal agents in Midlothian thst he
will not retire without addressing thst, his
present constituency. Tho liberal election
agents generally report great difficulty in ob*
taining candidates to contest soats on the
liberal platform. Radical candidates aro,
however, reported to be plentiful.
Loxnox, June 14 —The marquis of Salisbury
has decided to forma conservative ministry,
and is in active negotiations with Sir Stafford
Northcote, the Duke Richmond,Lord Rawton,
momDerof parliament
shire. Lord Salisbury will come to London
to morrow, when a consultation of tho leading
members of tho conservative party will be
held. The court circular confirms the state
ment that the marquis of Salisbury is to form
a ministry.
Lord Salisbury met with ovation* at tho
voriou* railway stations, at which atoppagos
were made on his journey to Hatfield.
Mr. Chamberlin will shortly visit Scotland
on a political tour. Ho will develop his views
of local government for Scotland and Ireland.
Tho Daily Telegraph states that tho marquis
Salisbury’s acceptance of the office of premier
is unconditional. Tho Standard says: It is
unable to conceal its auprohension as to tho
result of the marquis of Salisbury’s attompt to
establish a government with affairs in their
present stato, with the conservatives in a
mfnority in tho house of commons
and with tho liberals and rsdiosli
openly refusing to lend assistance. Tho Daily
Telegraph says the marquis of Salisbury will
havo the sympathy of the country, and warns
tho radical leaders, Chamberlain and Sir
Charles Dilko, not to make the nilstako of
obstructing the electors in tho provinces, but
eco fair play.
Loanox. Juno 8.—The mahdi has Issued a
proclamation which baa been extensively cir
culated in tho countries bordering upon the
Persian gulf, stating that it is his intention to
tovsdo both Egypt and Arabia.
Losnox, Juno 10.—A sonsation has been
caused by tho publication of Lord Wolseley'a
dispatches denouncing tho evacuation of the
Soudan. Ho warns the government that on
tho withdrawal from Dongoln, tho whole pro
vince will bo given up to anarchy and will
revert from civilization to barbariam. The with
drawal says,will not avert the atrugglo. Tho
mahdi, in a few years, will attack Egypt.
Years ol internal troubles in Egypt havo boon
a burden and strain on her miltary resources.
The best policy in both military and financial
~otot of vlow would be to attack the mahdi at
