FROM WASHINGTON CITY, Secretary Carlisle Issues New Regulations Regarding Precautions In Admit ting Immigrants. The President has accepted the resig nation of Governoi JS. M. Stone of Iowa, Commissioner of the general land office. Attorney-General Olney lias appointed Frank Strong of Arkansas General Agent of the Department of Justice, vice . 0. Foster resigned. The Bupreme Court has affirmed the judgment of the Court of Claims, dis missing the petition of the State of In diana to recover from the United States over (WO.000 aa 6 per cent of the sales of public lands in Indiana. Authority haa been given by President Cleveland to Secretary Greeham to ex change with Minister Grip certificates of the ratification of the extradition treaty between the United States and Bweden, recently ratified by the Senate. The results of the rifle, carbine and revolver firing of the army for the target year of 1892 received by the Adjutant shows that Company G of the Seventh Infantry, stationed at Pilot Bntte, Wyo., made the highest general figureof merit. Active preparations are about to be begun by Secretary Smith for the open ing of the Cherokee Strip under the pro vision of the Indian appropriations act ratifying the agreement with the Ohero keea. The preliminaries, however, will consume considerable time, A bint of Cleveland's policy of build ing up a new party is given. Following the selection of Judge Gresham for the Cabinet, it is said, lie is going to appeal to the sentimental Republicans by keep ing Minister Lincoln at London and Minister Fred Grant at Vienna. Postmaster-General Bissell states that whenever there is a contest for any post office the person who held the office un der President Cleveland's former admin istration ie not to be considered. He further states the full power of this rule will be applied to fourth-class postoffices, and that he, and not the President, is responsible for it. Secretary Carlisle has issued new reg ulations regarding precautions to be ob served in admitting immigrants to the United States. The regulations contain seventeen articles. The first ten are substantially the same as are now in force. Articles 11 to 15 inclusive are practically new, and are made to con form to the new laws effecting immigra tion paeeed by the hut Congress and ap proved March 3. The Treasury Department continues to receive offers of gold from the West in exchange for small notes, for which there Is at present an increasing demand, Several offers had to be temporarily de clined, j it was found the gold was of light-weight, ana nntil those who otlerea it made up the deficiency in weight the government conld not accept It. In this connection it is interesting to note that the government require! absolute ac curacy before it will receipt for light- wngbt coin. Several people who have known how long Cleveland is obliged to stand on his feet during the many hours t.e is re ceiving people, have wondered how it was that he was able to keep up. He comes down into the east room and shakes hands with thousands of people, standing on his feet for an hour or half an hour, aa the case may be. In his private office he feels the neceesitv of arising to his feet when he receives visit ors who are distinguished enough to be admitted to private interview. It is found, however, that the President has a great scheme. Ilia desk ia low enough to admit his sitting upon it in an ap parent attitude of standing, and it is there he sits, with his feet on the floor and hie weight reeling on the desk, and shakes hands and chats with the visitors who are admitted. It has been re marked by several persons that he does not move around very much, but nobody knows better than Mr. Cleveland him self why he does not move around. He is scheming an tnewtiiietosavenimseii, and thia attitude be finds very comfort able. It Is probable the clerks and some other employes in the bureau ot engrav ing and printing not directly employed in the production of greenbacks and other government obligations will have to take certificates ot inueoteaness in stead of cash for their salaries for the remainder of the fiecal year. Tins is the result of an error in the enrollment of the deficiency bill, by which the word " thooeand " was left off after the appro priation intended to be $37,000 for defi ciency in the pay of clerical and other help at the bureau of engraving and printing. It is presumed the employee will not be dropped from the rolls tor the remainder of this fiscal year, ae they are necessary to the working of the bureau. It is likely this will be considered a case wherein the government officers are au thorized to create an indebtedness under the statute providing that " no govern ment officer shall incur indebtedness for the government except to save lile and property." It may be held the employ ment of these clerks is necessary to save ' property." The clerks will then be given certificates stating they have ren dered set rice to the value named, and these they will probably be able to set discounted for a consideration by local money lenders. Several other errors in enrollment have been discovered. In the pension appropiatlon bill an appro priation of $305,000 was intended for fees of examining surgeons. In enrolling the word "rive" was left out, so that the item reads "three hundred thousand dollars." A deficiency of $6,000 from the proper amount will not be serious in view of the smallnees of the amount and of the fact that it was made on estimates which in any event may be too large or too small, and which ceo be remedied next session before the money actually appropriated ia exhausted. These are but a lew of the errors committed in the enrollment of appropriation bills, and others are expected to come to light everyday. BEYOND THE ROCKIES.
