"Washington, Aug. 18. A great dealof
unfavorable comment has been heard with
in a day or two on account of the action of
District Commissioners in giving for bar
racks to the Grand Army of the Republic
the school buildings of the city. The mat
ter was kept Tery quiet, and the local press
has been almost silent on the snbject, but
there is a prospect that there will be trouble
about it before it is done with.
The action of the Commissioners became
known to the general public only when
great cartloads of mattresses for cots were
seen piled in front of the school buildings,
and then a howl was raised that will prob
ably yet result in the citizens suing lor an
injunction to restrain the Commissioners
from making this unlawful use of the build
ings. It goes without saying that such occupa
tion of the fine edifices will result in serious
injury to them. The commissioners admit
this, but assert that they will make it all
good out of the public money, ot course.
The school boards have protested against
the use of the structures as common bar
racks, but they were overridden by the com
missioners. , o Necessity for cnch a Strp.
If the step were absolutely necessary for
the entertainment of the veterans, nobody
would think of objecting, but it is merely
for the purpose of saving something to the
pockets of the pension sharks, hotel keepers
and proprietors of gin mills, who were most
active in inducing the holding of the annual
encampment at the Capital, and who are
the only persons who will make any pecun
iary profit out of the affair. After
Tiromisin? that thev would foot the
bills, they went to Congress and succeeded
in bulldozing members to mate a munificent
appropriation of 590,000, all to come out of
the District Treasury. Other thousands
have been begged from persons who have
nothing to gain except the enjoyment of
seeing the veterans ot the G. A. K. enjoy
themselves. A pretense is made ot spend
ing this money for the erection of barracks
for the free lodging of the old soldiers, but
the bulk ol it will go no one can tell where,
and it may fairly be assumed that the per
sons who will profit most will get off with
little or no expenditure.
The coolness with which the property of
the District is invaded, knowing tbat it will
unaoidably be marred to the extent of
thousands of dollars, against the protest of
the boards in charge ot the schools, is some
thing unbeard-ot. heretofore, and all for the
purpose of saving from outlay the pro
jectors of the affair, who expect to profit
thousands of dollars by it
Schools ot Ab e to Open tn September.
The most objectionable feature of the
business is that the opening of the schools
will be postponed lor nearly a month, as
the encampment will last from the 19th
prox. practically until the end of the
month, and it will then require about ten
days or two weeks to get the rooms in order
for educational work. A thorough clean
ing and renovation will be necessary.
Desks will have to be hauled ont of storage
nd fastened in place. In the high schools
delicate scientific apparatus must be care
fully unpacked and rearranged Forty
thousand children will be cheated out of a
month's instruction a loss that can never
be made good.
Again, let it be said that if it were un
avoidable to do this, that the old soldiers
might be given the best possible entertain
ment tor the least expense, nobody wonld
complain, but the outrage on the public
property and upon the children of the Dis
trict is committed solely for the benefit of a
lot of sharks who are willing to go to any
length to save a penny for their own pock
ets. While they are adepts at begging and
taking from the public, their own s.mginess
is colossal and unparalleled. When the
mass ot the people ol the District, regard
less of party association, are so ready to
welcome the veterans with open arms and
give ot their best hospitality, it is to be
regretted that persons interested pecuni
arily, and solely in that way, should be able
to throw such odium on the preparations.
Xo Fran at All of a Panic
Though the authorities at the Treasury
a Department still iusUt to the public that
the dra:ts upon the gold in the sub-Treasuries,
by individuals and firms in enormous
amounts, is in the nay of legitimate busi
ness, and tbat there is no danger but the
Government will oe able to meet all de
mands, it is admitted that there is some un
easiness, and a suspicion that there is collu
sion among great firms in Europe and in
this city 10 create a financial panic here
which will cause a tumble in securities, and
enable speculators who are prepared for it
to reap a rich harvest.
The nens ot this morning that two firms
in New York supplemented the million
dollar dratt of a single firm the other day
by drawing upon the sub-Treasury yester
day for 5700,000 and $300,000, respectively,
has excited new discussion on the subject,
and Treasury officials confidentially admit
that they believe there is some scheme
being worked by a powerful combine,
though they do not anticipate it will be
Euccessful, or tbat any exploit of the
schemers will cause a serious flurry in the
money market.
Cnifurm Success ot Armor Plile Trlnls.
Acting Secretary Soley, of the Uavv
Department, said to-day that he had fully
investigated allegations that were being
made at the instance ol interested persons,
which were virtually that the Navy De
partment had boomed the Harvey and
nickel processes ot treating armor plate,
and that lailure in the tests had been con
cealed; also, that the change from one style
ot armor plate to another, without change
of price, would put hundreds ot thousands
of dollars into the pockets oi the Carnegies,
which they would not otherwise get, and
tbat presumably the Carnegie companies
would therefore contribute liberally to the
campaign fund.
"As to the publication of successful
armor trials and the concealment of unsuc
cessful trials," said Mr. Soley, "there has
been absolutely no unsuccessful trials of
either nickel or Harvey plates. On the
contrary, the uniform results ot these trials
have been a phenomenal success. No re
sults in any degree approaching them have
ever been attained at the tests of any for
eign armor. And, moreover, we can
purchase nickel cheaper by 40 per cent,
under our contract, than anyone else,
Olh-r Chxrs s UttTiy Denied.
"The statement that the change in the
form of the turrets of the battleships would
cause a great saving to the contractors ot
the armor is absurd, as the turret armor of the
battleships has not yet been let to contract,
nor has the department even called tor pro
posals. It is not true that the change in
form of the turrets was made in opposition
to tbf Board ot Bureau Chiefs, the majority
of the Board having recommended it. Even
if the department had changed the shape of
the battleship turrets alter it had contract
ed tor the armor, it is clear that this would
'have made no difference in the price to be
paid therefor, as the deflective shape was
not prescribed in the armor contract On
the contrary, a claim has been made on the
part ot the contractors under the old con
tract ot 1887 for additional compensation for
the use of the deflective tnrret in those
ships in which the vertical turret hat not
been substituted for it
"The statement that the change of the
side armor of all the battleships and other
armored vessels from carved to straight
plates means several hundred thousand dol
lars to the two contractors, as the plates
range from 1625 to $700 a ton, or about $100
a ton more than is charged for plain plates,
is also incorrect
Tbe Monitor rltes Always Straight
"The monitors have had straight plates
from the beginning. The other armored
ships have curved plates, and no change
has been made in these except in tbe heavy
armor of three battleships, which it 18
inches thick. It was found that the curve
proposed could not be made in plates of
that thickness by any manufacturer in
America, and as the curve was merely a
refinement of design lor the take of ap
pearance, and wholly unnecessary, a straight
plate was substituted, which required some
additional machining.
"At to the price of these plates,that at the
extreme end, being of. peculiar shape, costs
J600 per ton; the next, also of peculiar
shape, costs J525 per ton. The remainder
costs S500 per ton, or 510 less than the cost
of the straight plates of the monitors. The
heavy side-armor for one of the battleships
it to be furnished by Bethlehem, under the
old contract of 1887, at this figure, and the
armor for a second by the Carnegie Com
pany, under the contract of 1890, at the
same figure. The side armor for the third
battleship has not been let to any
body." OJSXY WAS HOBBES WANTED.
Zinesrllle Offlce-Seekera Baits a Kick
Against a Female Appointment.
ZAKESVILLE, Aug. 18. Special The
appointment by Treasurer-elect Frazier of
Miss Lizzie Oldham as deputy has caused a
commotion in the ranks of the Republicans
of the county who have a desire to become
public servanta They do not object to her
on the ground tbat she is not mentally and
morally capable of performing the duties of
the office, but because the cannot vote and
distribute tickets at tbe polls on election
day. She cannot appropriate the funds of
the party as township committeeman, and,
therefore, she ought not to be allowed to do
so as an officeholder seems to be the burden
of their argument
They have held indignation meetings on
the street corners, and now they are about
to form an association whose'sole object
shall be to boycott all officers who appoint!
woman to a position the salary of which is
more than $400 a year.
A PERMANENT VACATION
Taken by a Lancaster Bookkeeper, wnote
Accounts Are 835,000 Short.
Lancaster, Aug. 18. John F. Miller,
individual bookkeeper of the First National
Bank, Columbia, Fa., has absconded and is
a defaulter for a large amount of money.
The bank officials refused to give any infor
mation as to the amount Miller went on
his vacation July 11, and nothing has since
been heard ol him. His prolonged absence
led to an investigation and discovery of the
defalcation: The bank officials have offered
a reward lor his capture. The fugitive it 23
years ot age.
A. A Boss, an expert accountant of Phil
adelphia, who has been working on the
books of tbe bank for some time, completed
his work last evening. It is learned from
a reliable source that the defalcation is
probably from $30,000 to $35,000.

The Allegheny iubllo Works Committee
Doet a Little Easiness.
A meeting of Allegheny Common Counoil
was called for last night, but a quorum wat
not obtained. In consequence a large
amount of routine business had to lay over.
A meeting of the Committee on Fublio
Works-was held and two items of business
disposed of. The contract for laying 3,600
feet ot 30-inch water pipe from the basin to
Howard street, was awarded to H. C
Howard, at U 14 per lineal foot. The other
bidders were Joseph Hastings, (1 75 per
foot, andT. M. Scanlen, ?1 B5. One unusual
feature was that Hastings was on Howard's
bond, given to guarantee proper work, and
at tbe same time was bidding against him.
An application wat received from the J.
N. Gusky Orphanage and Home for the
Aged, asking that as it is a charitable insti
tution, it be exonerated from the payment
of ? 101 07 water tax due. The request was
granted with the understanding that other
institutions of a like natnre get the same
treatment.
