nt once identified It as that stolen from his
stable. A butter tub nnd several articles
in the wagon wcro also Identified as purt of

ports l'rtends or Ofllceseokera Call on
the President.
Washington, May 11. Yesterday was a
comparatively quiet day for the president,
and in the two hours devoted to the official
reception he was not overwhelmed with
callers. A half dozen senators and as many
representatives completed tho miotii ot tho
day, aud each caller found opportunity to
talk with the president at his liestire.
A new applicant for recorder of deeds of
tho District of Columbia has appeared in
the Held, this time u local man. It is Fon
dall E. Alexander, son of Columbus Alex
ander. The applicant's father is 0110 of the
oldest residents of the District, and tho son
is well known In legal circles.
The office of register of the treasury,
made vacant by the resignation of (Joneral
W. S. Iiosecrans, is being Rotight by Vir
ginia, but there seems to be a division of
sentiment as to tho particular Virginian
who shall get It. The two Virginia sena
tors were lit the White House together nnd
talked to the president about tho register
ship. Senator Daniel advocated the ap
pointment of Peter J. Otey, of Lynchburg,
while Senator Hiuiton put forward L. W.
Hoed, of Alexandria. Mr. Reetl was as
sistant register during Mr. Cleveland's for
mer ailmiuWtrntion.
Department Commander Fnunce and
Senior Vice Commander Blckford, of tho
(3. A. R. called to invite tho president to
attend the Decoration Day ceremonies at
Arlington. The president said lie would
attend if thepressureof public busiutss will
permit.
A. Leo Knott, of Baltimore, dropped into
the White House for a short time. Ho was
second assistant postmaster general under
the former administration of the president
aud it is said is hankering for his old job,
or something equally as good.
It is understood that thu president and
his family will move into their country
home in n few day, or as soon ns the
weather grows warmer. The house is now
ready for occupancy, all the furnishing
having been completed.
Inspector CouUUus'ti Keport.
Washington, May 11. Immigrant In
spector Conkllng, In an official report made
to the treasury department as to the viola
tion of the alien contract labor law, among
other strong state nents, says:
"The padrone system is the most damn
able, outrageous and iiiiuriousto American
workmen of any system thnt was ever prac
ticed in the United States, ami there is no
denying the fact that it exists in almost
every city of this country where there is uu
Italian colony."
The report details how Italian laborers
are brought into this country, coached and
instructed on the journey over, so that
when they arrive by fulsu swearing they
evade the inspectors.
"Theo aliens," Inspector Conkllng says
"are of the very worst element, vicious aud
hard to control, dangerous to tho commu
nity near which they reside and nre semi
bruitish In their manners and habits."
They work for small wages, live in a man
ner that other laoorers regard as barbar
ous anil ns a consequence Mr. Conkllng
finds they aro driving out laborers of other
nationalities in railroad building.
Tho report was called forth by Instruc
tions issued by Assistant Secretary bpauld
ing last March to look Into the illegal
landing of ten Italian laborers at hills 1st
and. As a result of two months labor, In
spector Conkllng has arrested Filleppo
C'atone, a padrone, on whose perjured am
davit tho ten Italians were landed. The
case is regarded as an important one and
will bo tried in tho Now York state courts
this mouth.
Blount's Appointment Announced.
Wariiinoton, May 11. The president
has appointed James II. Blount, of (Jeorgia,
envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo
tentiary to the Ilawuiian islands, succeed
ing John L. Stevens, resigned. Mr. Blount's
commission bears date of Tuesday and it
will be sent him by the next mail for Hon
olulu. The fact that Mr. Blount would be
transferred from the post of special com
missioner to make report on the advisabil
ity of annexing the Hawaiian islands to
the United States to the position of mints
tor was announced Tuesday night and since
the announcement was made it has come
to be understood that the change was de
cided on at the cabinet meeting Tuesday,
A report from Mr. Blount, mailed in
Honolulu during the last week in April,
came to Secretaty Gresham, and was taken
by him to the cabinet meeting. Owing to
tho confidential character of the report its
contents were kept secret, but it is pre
sumed it contained such information that
the president determined to lose no time in
commissioning a new minister to succeed
Mr. Stevens. The salary of the position is
$7,500.
It Creates Excitement.
Washington, Mny 11. The unearthing
of Dension frauds by which the government
has been defrauded out of over $100,000
has created quite a bubble of excitement
here,- and tho indications ara at present
that upon investigation the frauds win in
crease instead of decrease when the affair
that has just been brought to light shall
have been looked up. Attorney Drewry,
of Norfolk, Va., who is now under nrrest
there for the part he has played in swind
ling Uncle Sam, refuses to talk in regard
to tho matter.
When tho frauds were first discovered it
was thought that about 00 per cent, of the
pensions procured by Drewry had been
gotten through the pension oltice through
false certificates, but it now transpires upon
further investigation that fully 03 per
cent, of the pension business done by him
was fraudulent, and It may foot up stui
more than this when the returns ure all lu.
A thorough investigation of the whole af
fair is to be made at onoe.
There's Tree Cold In tha Treasury.
Washington, May 11. Secretary Car
lisle lu received and accepted the oiler of
the St. Louis bunks to supply the govern
ment with $2,300,000 of gold. With this
