The President's First Proclamation tUn Oklahoma Boomers, to Washington, March, 13. The first decided action of secretary Manning in regard to change in the force under the treasury department, was announced thia morning. It conn sists of a material reduction of forca in the special agents division, where by it is expected a saving of $46,000 annually will be effected. The servi ces of 38 persons in all ; have been dispensed with, and notices to that effect were-mailed to them today. The list includes six special agents. twenty four special inspectors of cus toms and eight employees whose names arc borne on the so called "fraud roll." This action reduces the number of agents to 22, the number of inspeo tors to 27 and the "fraud roll" em ployees to 17. Secretary Manning refuses to di vulge this afternoon the names of persons dismissed, but may probably do so tomorrow. It is understood, however, that special agents C H. Gray," John O'Neal and W. R. Bates are among the number. It is stated at the department that these changes are "made solely inthe interests of economy, and taat no new appointments will be made to fill the vacancies created. - Secretarv Manning has also decis ded that hereafter the appropriation for the prevention and -. detection of frauds upon the customs revenue shall not be used for the purpose of making permanent - appointments, but shall be confined strictly to pay ing for information received concer ning revenue frauds and to enable the department to employ persons in special cases wnere it is oeuevea frauds are being perpetrated.

Changes ia the Commliee. . Washington,- March 13. Senate. ?Mr. Saulsbury said his attention had been called to the- fact that in voting in the Bell case it appeared by the Journal of the Senate that he had voted for the admission of Mr. Bell and was placed therefore in - a position of inconsistency, in voting against the seating of Blair. The journal was incorrect. He was pair ed against Bell, He had made a report against the admission from the committee on privileges and elec tions and he had made a speech against his admission. - Cameron offered a resolution naming the chairman and members of the senate committees as agreed upon by the caucuses and asked its immediate consideration, which was agreed to. The important changes are as ioi ows: rne new committee or. seven members on coast defenses is created with Do!ph as chairman, and Cam eron of Wisconsin, Sewell, Ha wley, Maxey, McPherson and Fair as members ; on appropriations,' Mahone succeeds Logau, and Gorman suc ceeds Ransom. Ransom takes the place of Bayard as chairman of pris vate land claims: Pike succeeds Cameron of Wisconson as chairman of the committee oa claims. "The only change oh the ; committee of nuances was the substitution or Vance for Bavard.

" The judiciary committee is made up as follows: Edmunds chairman, Ingalls, McMillan. Hoar.- Wilson, of Iowa, Evarts, Pugh, Coke, Vest and Jackson : Senator Sherman declined to serve upon the committee on h nance. Senator Hams suggested that the usual form was to ask the Senate to ex ;use him. Mr. Sherman : "I don't think it is necessary to ask the Senate to excuse me from the service. I respectfully decline. Morrill : 1 1 hope that no action will be taken upon the matter at present." Ingalls offered a resolution calling upon the President for information in regard to the occupation of Okla homa and what action was being taken in that matter. " Under objection from Mr. Cockrel it went ever until tomorrow. Beck asked leave to say that the retirement of Senator Ransom from the committee on appropriations was at that gentleman's request. He bad felt that work which the appro priation committee was called upon to pfirrorm in considering large ap propriation bills during the closing hours of the session was more than his health was equal to, and his fel low Senators in the minoritv had acquiesced in his retirement with regret. . Upon motion of Edmunds the Sen ate at 12:25, went into executive session and ten minutes later ad journed until Monday. Places are left open in seven of the committees for successors of Bayard and Garland, Namely in the commit tee on claims, epidemic diseases, fishery, patents, revision of laws. tenth "census and examination of the several branches of the civil ser vice.

" . ' :. Thti Union Pacific. Kew York World. The Union Pacifio Railroad Com pany was chartered in 1862. Its grant of 12,800 acres of the public lands per mile reaches, oh one thou sand and forty miles, over thirteen million three hundred thousand acres. Is subsidy in money was over twenty-seven and a quarter millions of dollars. ' This ! was a large amount for the people to give to a railroad corpora tion, but the. war was worked for all it was worth. We must in future be provided with means of transporta tion for our troops and supplies Mil itary necessity was lueeed in by the ears. Then, i he subsidy was only e loan. The government claim beirg first and foremost, and the subsjsav bonds being secured by a first mort gage, we were entirely secure. Two years afterwards Co,hgress passed an act allowing the Union Pa cific Railroad Companj fco issue twentyeeveii and a q.uartfj- millions of its 6wn bonds the same amount as the government subsidy and to make these a nrst lien on the road. the government subsidy bonds being pushed; back to the position of a sec ond mortgage. i ThiBiwas swincue number one. It was destined to put the. government at the mercy of. the manipulators of the corporation. While tho govern ment had a first lien as its security, it was protected in the event of the bankruptcy of the company. After the act, of 1864 had been purchased of Congress by the Union Pacific lobby, the government had comparatively no security. If the company found it convenient to go into bankruptcy, the owners of the first mortgage bonds would take the road and have the opportunity to wipe'put the gov ernment claim. Provision was made for the pay ment of a percentage of the net earn' ings arid the retention or the amount due for transportation, to secure the subsidy nds. These and all other safeguards were disregarded by the road with the connivance of govern ment officials, until public sentiment forced the passage of the Thurman act ' in j 1878. The company did its best" t defeat the law. Failing in the effort, it ignored it ana fought it in the courts. I At every step, in every act, the Union j Pacific, the oreation of the government, has done its best to cheat and defraud the government. Having shoved the people back from first mortgagees to second mort gageesi it has piled up later bonds by consolidation with other roads, and watered its stock under the crooked operations of Jay Gould so as to load the corporation with dishonest obli gations, while fizhtinff off bv every conceivable plea and subterfuge the payment of its lust debt to the gov ernment. Mexican Hotel and Home Lite. From a Kecent Letter. What Mexico needs more than anything else is a good hotel. It is about two hundred years behind the times in this respect, lhe city has five railroads, a splendid streetcar system, telegraph wires to all the world,! a telephone servi.ee with 700 subscribers, six" daily newspapers and a j number of weeklies, electric ligbtshe best bath-houses in Ameri ca, but not one decent hotel. Those who have to remain in Mexico any length of time invariably go to house keeping, and can thus live as comfors tably and economically as anywhere m the states. There is no aristocrat ic quarter in Mexico, and it is fash ionable to live on a business street, but to ha re a saloon or a meat mar ket on the ground floor. I Every body lives in fiats, the houses are usually three stories high, aud the top floor is considered the best. It will rent for $100 a month while the second floor rents for $40. When a house is to be let in Mexico the own er sticks an old newspaper in the window. It isn't very tasteful, and seldom improves the appearance of the house, but it is economical, and understood by the community. Sers vants are cheap and plenty, and you are pretty sure to have several de- scendents of the Aztec kings about the house if you hire one, for it is here that the whole family go with father or mother when they go out to service. Your cook brings her re lations, and they are led irom your table iand sleep under jour roof. The husband may be a shoemaker, or a saloon-keeper, or a hackman, but he lives where his wife works, There are usually roomB enough in the house for them all, and the only food they want is plenty of beans and what is leit irom your own table. j A Canadian Blasphemer. The following comes by wire from Montreal, Canada: It is said that at Actoni Vale, Quebec, some days ago, a man, while engaged in threshing grain, indulged in a great deal of pro fanity, and that on being reproached for his languge by some bystanders he replied : "if there's a God let him punish me1" The man was at once stricken with paralysis and, as it were, irooled to the ground, so that he could not be removed, and the neighbors had to cover him with rugs to protect him from being frozen. Although offered food he could not take it. It is reported that Monsigs nor I? abre is to visit the place pre sumably to try and restore the man; Famlinre factory Bnrned. , Easton, Pa., March, 13. A.

" "I am the old AnU Potash Boom," was the sad reply, as the presplratlon' rolled down, and it lsan ed heavily on the B. B. B. Boom lor support. "Don't lean on me," said the B. B. B. Beom. "I may look strong, but I am quite young only 14 months old, and am growing rapidly, and am mighty weak in the knees, I am doing the work which yon h ive f illed to do, although yon are 50 years eld. Yon are old, and tough, and rich, and den't require a support. But what causes you to look bo thin ot late?" - "Well, I hardly know," replied the Anti-Potash Boom. , "My physician t-lls me that my abilities have been over-rated, and that while trying to whip out all opposition by boast and brag, that I Have only proven my Inability to cope with what he calls my superiors. Old age Is also creeping on me having fought near 60 years before auy one knew I was livpig and now I am unable to perform feats that others are doing. I am collapsed; my friends have turned xgaulst me and call me names, and oh Lordy, how sick I become at the very sight of B. B. B. Hold my head while I die." , A SUNBEAM. Compared to other remedies, B. B.

Facts are Stubborn Thiflgs, From Tarboro Southerner July 17. While visiting Tarboro, on July 8th, I was re quested to vl-lt Miss Mary fi. Staton, seven mile from town, who for seven weeks had been suffering excruciating agony from some blood poison, sup posed to be poison oak. On last Tuesday, at her request, I went to see her, and expected to see great suffering, but was not prepared for the scene that met me. I found the patient broken out all over with an eruption which had occasioned such in tense Itching that during the paroxysms she was perfectly uncontrollable, and had scratched and torn herself to pieces until her agony was Indes cribable. During these paroxysms she would have to be held, and her screams -could be heard a long distance. She would pray for death to come t her relief; her whole body was purple and raw, and ex uded a yellow water which satuarted the bed through several thick quilts that day she had pos sessed herself of a thick gutta percha coarse comb and before she could be prevented, had raked her self with it with such force as to break out some of the teeth, thus adding to her agony. She was at tended by as good physicians as Tarboro and her neighborhood could afford, but their treatment af forded only occasional relief by outward appllca catlons, and no permanent benefit, as the parox ysms continued to return with Increasing violence. Upon viewing the condition of the patient I called thelamily together and told them to bear witness that I promised Norawa. I could not tell whether my Remedy would relieve or not; as I had never even imagined such suffering, but it could do no harm and might do good- I then gave her a large dose of the Bitters, aud as soon as the paroxysm was over, I sponged her whole body with the Wash, while doing so she would call out. '-Oh. that does feel so good.' I then gave her another dose of the Bitters, and she was soon in a sweet sleep. I con tinued this treatment, and whenever the itching would recur, I -would sponge the body Instantly with the Wash, which, in even instance allayed tha irritation or itching, and warded off those violent paroxysms. She did not have an attack during the day, and by 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, the disease was under perfect control.:- The itching would recur, but eery time was allayed by the ap plication of the Wash. I left her Wednesday easy and comfortable, with directions for the treatment to ba continued during the night, and as long as was necessary. I came again to see her to-day, Saturday, the 12th, and found her.up and dressed and in the regular prosecution of her household duties. She is entirely relieved, although she will, of course, have to take the Bitters some time to completely eradicate the poison from her blood. During Wednesday, she would frequently call for the Bitters, as she craved its soothing and quieUrg effects, and during the day I administered a whole bottle, with the above results, thusf proving, what I have Mways claimed, that my Remedy is an infal lible antidote for all blood Impurity. Iam. Respectfully,. MRS. JOE PERSON. This is to certify that the foregoing statement Is perfectly correct in every particular, as we were eye witnesses of Miss Mary's suffering and the wonder fal relief afforded by Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy . .
