Washington. Mareh 19—All is quiet &
the custom house, but still an air of expect
aiicy and QQeasinem pervades the dingy ok
building. Th»* absorbing topic among tin
employes is business Th- question most
frequently is, Whose head will nexi
come off.'* The suspense was texnroranlj
relieved xfhern the morning’s mail was found
to contain no envelope com
inanding further dismissals. Still the em
ployes would breathe more freely if the,
know positively just what the eommission ol
investigation, under the *iq»ervision of Uol
Tichenor, is doing. The colonel and Com

“If you don’t believe we have our band
full, just look at that,'* exclaimed Col. Tick
euor, as he pointed to the thousand and one
papers with which the tabl * and Hour wen
Uttered. “There is a good three month
work before us. ”
‘'What particular hue of investigation art
you following to-day f’
“We are endeavoring to get at tho bottom
of the drawback system and the under
valuation abuse. The drawback bureau uer
rtaiuly needs a thorough overhauling. 1 cat
not sayjhat as ye. any intcuUonal fraud hat
been digcuvenst here. But when one find.*
that, hr invoices of sugar alone, drawbacks
have amounted to l&i.Obu in a single day, il
appeaif to me that there is need for clos<
scrutiny. The drawback systen certainly
needs revision, and such regulation s should bi
instituted as will bnv.* u.ii uaU less discre
tion. It is ain «t laborious task and a neces
sarily tedious one."
“How about the special agent’s office?”
“Great abuses have existed there, as you
are aware. When we b- an the investiga
tion, with particular rete >nee to the cases oi
Capt. Bracket anti Mr. < milker, we had lit
tie idea that the a. ih > were so flagrant.
Legally, the special ugcii. has no administra
five power whatever. He is supposed, how
ever, to watch thing' i.t-i report abuses and
irregularities to the rale lor and secretary ol
the treasury. 1 find i > authority which
would warrant Capi. Bracked or Mr. Chaik
er in assuming the powers they did. They
committed flagrant inista <es, to say the least
in overlooking the pap r of importers 11
the foree they command is reorganized, in
accordance with our recommendations, much
glory will no doubt be lost, butil th“ufficien
cy of the office will, 1 teel confident, be
greatly enhanced. ”
“Do you propose to conduct a public hear
ing in relation to abuses exi umg in the van
ous offices?”
“Yes. In a few days wo propose to take
public testimony concerning the manage
ment of the different custom-house dejmrt
mehts, but with jiarticuiar reference to Hr
ba.* go office. Our work lias hi thereto lx*en
similar to that of a detective. Hereafter it
will tie judicial.”
“Will there be further removals to-days
‘*No. There will be. I think, possibly with
in the next * ee<<. Where and who, 1 am
not at liberty to say. ’’
Collector Robertson expressed himself w
favor of reform in the drawback bureau. He
believed that no drawback should be allowed
to any person, except the importer hi in sell
or his regularly appointed attorney. He hud
requested the treasury department to enforce
tins rule. The collector, during the day, re
ceived a letter from Secretary Manning di
recting immediate inquiry into the barge of
fice abuses. It reads as follows:
“The representations and complaints grow
ing out of the treatment of passenger* and
their bagjige arriving by water at the port
of New 1- riMrequire the immediate atten
tion of this department. In order that 1 may
be fully and officially informed of all the
facta and circumstances you are directed in
association with the naval officer and sur
veyor of the jxjrt to make immediate inquiry
into the alleged evils of the existing system
in the management of the barge office, and
into the remedies of those evils if they shall
be found to exist, and make re|M>rt to me in
.writing.”-
The eoptriiissioners now investigating the
-custom bWse frauds have reccoinmetidfld to
the treasury department that government
officers and other persons shall not be per
mitted to exchange foreign money for immi
granta. It is further recommence 1 that one
person only should be allowed to establish an
exchange office in the barge office. (Collector
Robertson was notified some time ago to
order the abolishment of an indiscriminate
exchange business. He referred the matter
to Surveyor Benedict, with instructions to
report to the secretory of the treasury. The
collector complied with the order of the
treasury department, and both he and the
surveyor claim that the custom does not now
exist. Secretary Manning has refused to
grant the exclusive privilege of exchange to
any one person, claiming that such a privi
lege might be abused, and that to confer it
might be rt*garded as the granting of a mo
nopoly.
Senate.
Washington, March 19. —The chair laid
before the senate the resolution by Mr. Miller,
of New York, authorizing the committee of
agriculture and fores try to **et during the re
cess of congress to consieer the best means of
preserving the forest of the public domain,
and to employ a clerk at a regular per diem
to be paid from the contingent fund of the
senate.
Mr. Cockrell protested against the practice
of the senate incurring so much expense for
special committees during the recess, and un
less it is stopped, he said, the majority will
find they are making an extravagant expen
kiture from the contingent fund for this pur
pose. While the majority of the senate had
the power to do this, ne wished to put on
record his protest agai is: it.
Mr. Miller (N. Y.) explained that the only
expenditure contemplated was for a regular
per diem clerk, six hours per day.
A debate followed ou the suojectot the
senate clerkship, during which it was inti
mated by Mr. 'Van Wyck that only the com
mittees a- ig to sit during the recess, and
to employ i/rk were those not entitled un- ;
der the ru.c >i• an annual clerk. The resold- |
tion was. knu y. adopted. The senate then ,
proceeded to c, of executive busi- ;
ares.

After he was last seen hero, a bl » p;- J ->i h
robe, broken whip and other articles were

murdered fur his money. It was th m re
membered that the Cook woman had onc<

in 1 sleigh would be found in the manner de

joubted whether Moore was 'lead, and detec

Mr. O’Niel, brother-in-law and business

went there first, and the doctor followed.
When O’Niel confronted Dr, Moore, the latter

General Foreign Nows.
IjONDON, Mandi 19.—Thu approaching visit
of the prince and princess of Wai**s to Ire
land has caused the most serious lifferences
in the ranks of the Dublin nationalists which
have confronted their leaders since the party
was formed. The apology of the lor<i mayoi
was the fimt wedge driven into the solid
body of T'arnell's followers' corporation.
Since that unexpected shock schism has been
grow ing. Mr. Mayne, M.P., when putting a
resolution at a recent private imputing of nat
ionalist members of the cor}M>ratton. <ie<*lared
thqt. Ihe prince royal and his mother were
nothing more than puppets in the matter,
and that the addressed moved would really
be to Mr. Gladstone and Lord Spencer.
He warned every man iu the corporation
of Dublin who should take a course other
than that Ireland demanded and expected
from him that he would lose his scat in the
corpor’ation and be simply annihilated at. the
polls. Meanwhile the vast majority of
wealthy ami responsible citizens, who ar<
greatly amused at tho efforts of the national
ists, are quietly and thoroughly preparing a
reception, all tho better fur the absence of
the lord mayor and corporation.
Edward Guinness and the younger brothei
of Lord Ardiiaun, both brewers, lead the
citizens’ committee. Mr. Guinm ss' position
as high sheriff slrengthens his hands and
enables him to assume the leadership ot
“loyal citizens' with great dignity and
power. Acting with Mr. Guinness is u com
mittee of 150 itizens of all creeds and poli
tics. The requisition on which the commit
tee has l>«*en appointed was signed by 61i« ius
andsof names in a few days. Few antici
pate that even the sulky attitude of* (life
nationalist leaders will prevent the great
mass of the people who usually follow them
from turumg out to witness the brilliant
pageants, reviews and ceremonies.
TreasonaMe Doeuuicnt.
London, March 19. —Mr. Purnell, it ap
pear , is to be attacked from an entirely new’
quarter. T'he manifesto read b\ Mr. Ulaucv
at the meet in; of the nationalist section ol
the Dublin municipal council has been si 1!
mit ted to the solicitors for tho crown. Th’
manifesto whs an expression of the attitml.
proper to be sur\ed by the natioaai !e:igue
toward the. I‘rin <■ of Wales during his co: i
ing visit to Ir< l.iud. It advised nationalist
to maintam an attitude of reserve?, to make
no ho. tile dein< cistrat-ions and no e.cpre.isions
of wu’uome, an i declared that the visit of the
Prince and Princess of Wales Lo In l and
was inopportune while an unspeakably in

Dublin (’astle When Mr. Clancy read the
manifesto he announce I it whs from Mr.

document. Mr. Parnell admitted that. Mr.
(’laney’s statement was correct, and explain
ed that the document was prepared for Mr.
Clancy’s personal direction and u >, and not
for publication at the time as a manifesto.
Th national league issued a manifesto cm
bo<lying the sentiments contained in the doc
inent read by Mr. Clancy and ot which the
latter was apparently the draft. The whole
mat tor has bjten placed before the crown
solicitors, ahd these lawyers have reiidi red
an opinion that the manifesto is a treasona

London, March 19.—Another action for
libel was brought against Mr. Edmund
Yates. This time it is Mr. Ixjgge, editor of
the Whitehall Review, who is tho aggrieved
party. He bases his action upon a squib in
the World, which said that Leg was a very
appropriate name for the editor of the White
hall Review, characterized this publication
as a “fishmonger’s organ,” and intimated
that Mr. had become its editor “Im>
cause he was acquainted with things fishy.”
Addresses to the Prince Spencer.
Dublin, Mareh 19.—The corporation of
Dublin rejected tho motion to present ah ad
dress to the Prince of Wales on the occasion
of his visit here on April 8. During the de
bate on the proposed address Mr. Timothy
Daniel Sullivan, home rule member of par
liament for Westmeath county, d<*scribed the
proposed visit of the Prim e and 1 rim-ui s of
Wales as an attetopt to politically whitewash
Dublin castle. “AH the perfumes of Arabia,’
cried out Mr. Hullivan, “could not sweeten
Dublin castle.” This exclamation was re
ceiver! with cheers. The municipal councils
of Kings to » a arid Dai key voted to present
adiire-ses of welcome to the Prince and Prin
cess of Wa’cs upon their arrival.
Mr. Gladstone has r/commended Earl
Spencer, lord lieutenant jf Ireland, to the
queen as deserving to have conferred upon
him some signal mark of royal appreciation
for the conspicuous ability he has displayed
fn the management of her majesty’s affairs
in Ireland.
Two Hundred Killed
Berlin, March 19.—A terrible disaster oc
curred in the mining village of Camp
Hausen, near.Saarabruecken, by which it i>
believixl fully two hundred miners lost their
lives. An explosion occurred in one of the
large mines. T'he miners had hardly began
the day’s work when the fire-damp bwamc
ignited and exploded, causing a
heavy cave-in around the shaft and
entrance to the mine. Over two
hundred men are known to be in the
mine at tlie time, and all effoi te to reach
them thus far have been unsuccessful. It is
feared all have been either crushed to death
or asphyxiated. The scenes in and around
the mine are heartrendering. The wives,

Step* Taken to Cross Crueral Hatch'a
l>en<l Line.
Arkansas City, Kas., March I.—ls the
result of th • u -xr cabinet meeting at Wash
ington ou the • ) .dahoma question is unfavora
ble to the colonists, it is more than probable
that (‘apt. Couch will make an attempt to
march his mon into the territory. Major
Benton has lo‘at *d a “dead line,” beyond

will, and Ih< boomers believe they will not.

.l uri<ian that since President (fievelnnd’s
proclamat ion several colonies at other points
had voted not to come to Arkansas City, but

A PROPHECY.
(“M. V. D.” in Courier-Journal.]
It may be late in after years,
When sadd ?n’d by a world’s deceit,
Yo-i turn again with bitter tears,
To the olden love so sweet;
Then shall memory serve you well,
And silent justice give,
Tho’ no remorseful words may tell
What in the heart must live.
I know that many a weary mile
Shall stretch between we two!
Yet I could almost happy smile.
In prophecy so true;
For retribution overtakes
The carele and the gay.
And oftentimes Inve reawakes
When wp ■»rf» far awav
