Tr; Startling and Opinionated for the Treasury Department—The Conunis— sinner Called Down, Reprimanded and Ordered to Rewrite It. WASHINGTON, Dec. 15,—William Bates, commissioner of navigation, treasury depart- ment, last year gave out his annual report in suchaform as to give. great offense to Secretary VVindom, because of the subject matter it contained and sentiments ex- pressed, which were not in accordance with the policy of the administration, particu- larly when he touched upon matters outside of his domai . To prevent the repetition of such an inci- dent this year, Secretary Foster issued an order about six weeks ago directing the heads of all bureaus in the treasury depart— ment to submit their .- to him before making any part of 1:1; 1:.” public. This or- der was directed especially to Commissioner Bates, since he was the only Official to whom it was likely to apply. In common with the other bureau chiefs Mr. Bates re— ceived the notice. There was surprise and anger among the high Officials of the treasury last Thursday my... :5 when they read in a newspaper a complete ‘ summary of the annual report of the com- missioner Of navigation, the first intimation which came to them that the report was completed. Acting Secretary N ettleton was chagrined because the report had been given out in direct- violation of the secretary’s or- der, and more stirred up because of the matter which it contained. He sent at once to Mr. Bates a request for the docu- ment to be submitted for his inspection. “Then it arrived he gasped for breath and nearly fell out of his chair. A messenger brought the manuscript in a large basket, and it filled the basket and consisted of about 40,000 words. England Touched Up. From a historical standpoint, no more com- plete volume on American shipping ever ap- peared. The commissioner begins with the condition of commerce in the war of 181:3, traces its various stages through every period down to the present day, touching on all legislation which has affected it, giv- ing reasons and surmises, and follows this with a forecast of the future, in view Of different contingencies. England comes in for a generous share of attention, being al- luded to as “our inveterate foe,” and her selfish motives toward other nations also fully analyzed. The two remedies for the decline in shipping—“tarifi reduction and free ships”—are considered. Reductions of the tariff, he says, have always been advantageous to foreign ships. In speaking of free ships he calls cheapness “a mere trade cry,” and accuses the ad- vocates of that theory of general incompe- tency. He makes several recommendations for legislation, among them the creation of a marine board in the treasury department, decries government inspection of vessels and advocates the repeal of two or three treaties and acts of congress. All of these items are given under star; fling headlines, which resemble the “scare heac ” of a sensational newspaper. “War with England” is the most appalling of these, though none of them surpassesa mas- terpiece’reading, “The Small End of the Horn,” which appeared in the report that annoyed Secretary Windom last year. Bates Beprimanded. When General N ettleton had devoted several hours to a necessarily cursory glance at the fine points of this unique effort, he sent for the commissioner to give an explana- tion Of his action in violating the explicit ruling of the secretary. Mr. Bates said that he remembered the order, but had not giVen it careful attention, and did not sup- pose he was going beyond his authority in giving out the sketch of it to the newspw pers. The matter had, meantime, come to Secretary Foster’s notice, and he requested Assistant Secretary Spaulding to make an investigation, and if the departmental 'or— ders had been disobeyed to reprimand the commissioner. , A letter hasbeen sent to Mr. Bates, which was in the nature of a reprimand for‘ his premature act, and also notified him that he must rewrite his report in language suitable for such a document, leaving out all his theories, conjectures and all other irrelevant matter, and cutting it down to considerably less than half of its present proportions. Of course the allusions to Great Britain’s policy, the recommendation for legislation, the delvings into the future and the personal theories entertained by Mr. Bates on nation- al affairs are considered by the department- to lie- outside the provinces of his report. The letter of the acting secretary of the treasury, besides conveying a sharp repri- mand, was practically an order to make out a. new report. Harrison May Take a Hand In. The censure of an official in a prominent position by the head of a department is a very rare occurrence, and it is not known that the chief of a bureau was ever before asked to repeat his report. It places Mr. Bates in an embarrassing position. It is said that Secretary Fosterwill give the matter his personal attention as soon as the state of his health permits him to return to the treasury. President Harrison is likely to look into the case also, as the office is a presidential appointment. General Nettleton says that the report had been recommitted to its author because it dealt with matters beyond the scope of the bureau and was too long to be printed, ~ and that the commissioner had been askedto' clothe it in language suitable for such a. doc- ument. “Mr. Bates’ attention was called sharply to the violation of the secretary’s order,” General Nettleton answered when asked about the reprimand. Assistant Secretary Spaulding said that the report was different from most mes- sages of that nature and Mr. Bates had been requested to “revise and abridge it,” but he was unwilling to talk about the matter. The second edition of this remarkable composition is due this week andwill awaited with interest. ' Lamar and Brown Laid Up.

Advertise in the DAILY GAZETTE HIS BRAIN IliALFORMED. Nor-cross the Bomb Thrower was With- . out. Doubt Insane. BOSTON, Dec. 15.—No doubt is longer en- tertained here of the correctness of the identification of the Russell Sage bomb thrower with Henry L. N orcross, of Somer- vilIe. The evidence is regarded as completed by the letter which he left to his mother, stating that he was going to N cw York to get $1,200,000, and that if he Ivas not suc- cessful he should kill himself. . These statements are all of the letter Which is yet known, the remainder being withheld by Norcross’ parents. They admit the identification and the opinion of many of Norcross’ acquaintances corroborates them. They are not disposed to talk fur- ther for publication, but let the public know that they are no longer in doubt as to the fate of their son. . , Among those who have followed the case most closely the evidence is regarded as final to the degree that nothing more satis- =factdry is desired ,or could be asked. They say that the case has in that respect passed into history. No doubt is entertained that Norcross was insane. ' His Brain VMalformed. NEW YORK, Dec. l5.—Coroner Messemer. made public the results of his recent inves- tigation on the remains and cerebral matter ' of the man who threw the dynamite at Rus- sell Sage on Dec. 4-. In his opinion there is nota shadow of doubt that the bomb thrower was the vio- tim of a confirmed mania, which had lasted for several years. The man’s brain was found to weigh 1,210 grams, or three ounces above the average. The right hem- isphere was much larger than the left, and the convolutions of the brain were extreme~ ly irregular in size. THE FEDERATION OF LABOR. A Big Increase in Molnbership and a Small Expense Account. BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 15.—The report of President Gompers, of the American Fed-' eration Of Labor, deals with the Work done by the general officers since the last annual meeting. It congratulates the organization on a phenomenal growth during the year, and paints in rosy colors the prospects of the federation. President Gompers dis- misses with a dozen words the proposals of the Knights of Labor for fraternal rela- tions, because “the propositions have not been received at cm headquarters.” The Knights have sent their proposals to this convention officially, and they will be con- sidered in the meetings of the general body' All the matters considered as important by organized labor are touched upon in Presi‘ dent Gompers’ report, such as child labor, political action, immigration, convict labor, woman’s labor, etc. Secretary Evans’ report shows that 216 charters have been issued from the Office of the federation during the term ending Oct. 31,1891. The receipts were $21,346.43 and the expenditures $13,190.07. The expenses of the general offices include the salaries of elected officers and clerks, which amounts to $4,297.40. These figures afford considera- ble satisfaction to the federationists, as they claim that heretofore tOO much of the in- come of organization has gone to pay the salaries of officials. Sandbagged A School Teacher. SfRED BANK, N. J., Dec. 15.—Miss Annie Van Winkle, a teacher in the graded schools, was assaulted by a highwayman and badly injured. The young woman, who is about twenty-one years old, attended service at the Methodist church. She started to re- turn home at 7 o’clock. When she reached the corner of Maple avenue and Oakland street a short, thick set man approached her. Just after she passed the stranger she was struck on the back of the head by some heavy weapon, presumably a sandbag. Miss Van Winkle, partly stunned, managed to keep upon her feet, and staggered, scream- ing, to her home, fifty yards away. The ruffian took to his heels and escaped. Phy- sicians who attended the wounded school teacher found an ugly out, two inches long, in the back of her head, but they appre- hend no serious results. There is no clew to the assailant. The Maverick Bank thddle. BOSTON, Dec. 15.—The expert accountant examining the affairs of the Maverick bank not having made his report, the district at- torney has not yet- prc'scnted the cases of Messrs. French, Potter and Dana to the grand jury. It is impossible for the assignees to make any statement until the Maverick bank says what is due to it. The total de- posits made by the receiver of the bank for the benefit of the creditors of the bank amount to $2,694,000. From this the de- duction is made that if the liabilities of the institution does not exceed $8,000,000 a first dividend of 30 per cent. should be forth- coming. ‘ A Big Carnegie Strike Probable. PITTSBURG, Dec. 15.—A joint meeting of all the employees of Carnegie, Phipps &. Co.’s Steel works, Homestead, presages trou- Lble over armor plate making. The men want more money, because they cannot roll as much of the government plates as they can of others. Carnegie is willing to pay 25 per cent. more, but the men won’t take it, and their checks lie in the paymaster’s office. Twenty—five hundred men are in— volved and a strike is probable.

He Y'as Last Seen in an Agitated Condi- _'ti ;: 2d He Took Himself Away at fin: tion of His Accounts Began. Moment “’hen an Examina- NYACK, N. Y., Dec. 15.—-—Never before in the history of Rockland county has there been so much feverish excitement over any one man as there is at present over Edward H. Cole, who disappeared from Nyack on Saturday last. Cole had been for the past five years the confidential clerk and book keeper of General James Blauvelt &. 00., who carried on the largest real estate and insurance business in the county. Cole was also clerk of the Nyack corporation, clerk of the N yack board of education and held sev- eral other important positions in this town and county, besides being the secretary of the board of trustees of Oak Hill cemetery. The Disappearance. Cole is a married man, having married some years ago the daughter of the Rev. Mr. Chamberlain, at one time a very promi- nent and well known clergyman. He has two children. He is the son of Judge Cole, formerly judge of Rockland county. Cole himself is a lawyer, and was at one time justice of the peace and police justice here. Heis a graduate of Williams college. His father and mother are still alive. They live here, and are prostrated with grief and anx- iety at his disappearance. The first intimation that the public had of Mr. Cole’s disappearance was on Saturday afternoon, when his father, who has an Of— fice in the same building as James H. Blau~ velt & 00., reported that his son had not been home to dinner in the middle of the day, and that as no word had been received from him his absence caused his family some anxiety. It was learned, so it was said, that he had been seen walking through aside street apparently much agitated. So far as could be ascertained, the missing man had not left town by train. On Saturday evening searching parties were formed and a vigorous hunt was made over the surrounding country for him, but without success. Sunday afternoon the ex- citement over his disappearance was in- creased by the president Of the Nyack cor- poration summoning the local volunteer fire department, a large organization, to insti- tute a search for the missing man. Parties were formed, and, re-enforced by private citizens, a. systematic search was made, lasting throughout the entire after- noon, but this second search was no more successful than the first. Then, as new- comers joined the searching parties and brought the latest news from the village in the shape of undefined rumors affecting Mr. Cole’s business relations, it began to dawn upon the searching party that perhaps Mr. Cole was taking pains not to be fdund, and that they might as well abandon their task. His Absence Suspicious. NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—New light was thrown upon the absence of the missing Cole by Merritt E. Sawyer, of 210 Broad- way, the law adviser of James H. Blauvelt 8500. When questioned upon the subject by a. reporter Mr. Sawyer said: While I cannot at present charge any- thing wrong against Mr. Cole, I must say his disappearance is very suspicious. If there is anything wrong with his accounts I shall soon know it. The firm of James H. Blauvelt & Co. is a very large and wealthy one, doing an extensive business. Cole at- tended to all financial matters and gener- ally had charge of the inside business of the office. General Blauvelt signed the the checks, but such was the confidence reposed in Colo by everybody that the general undoubtedly would sign anything presented to him by Cole for his signature. General Blauvelt’s partner is R. H. M. Dickinson, who was formerly a clerk inthe office. Recently it was. determined to make some changes in the terms of the copartnership, rendered necessary by General Blauvelt’s illness, and Iwas requested to have the firm’s affairs examined for that purpose. On Saturday morning I called at the Office of Blauvelt & Co. with an expert account- ant to introduce him to Mr. Dickinson for the purpose of having the books examined, intending, after doing so, to come to New York as, usual. Mr. Dickinson knew of my intention and Cole had overheard him tell some one what was going to be done. There was not, however, on our part, the slightest suspicion against Cole; in fact, it took the people of Nyack all Saturday afternoon and all day yesterday to realize that possibly Cole’s disappearance was intentional on his part. ' Any Deficit Will Be hIade Good. When the expert accountant andI walked into the office on Saturday morning I spoke to Cole and asked him if Mr. Dickinson was inthe main Office. went in. As we walked in, Cole walked out. Nothing was thought of that at the Ward. It was supposed he had gone out on some office business. ' We' waited until half past 11, and indeed even longer, without any suspicion that he had run away. We sent to his house, and he was not there, but his dinner was ready for him. Then, about 1:30 o’clock, his father came down and reported that he had not been home to dinner, and gradually it dawned upon us that he had gone away purposely, and that there must be some- thing wrong. . - . 'd‘he expert accountant is now engaged in axamining the accounts of the firm. Should there prove to be any deficiency the firm will make it good. General Blauvelt is wealthy and abundantly able to do So, no matter what the amount may be, so that no one except the general will suffer loss by any defalca-tion should there unfortunately prove to be one. Yellow Fever on Board. NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—The steamer Ad- vance of the United States and Brazil Mail Steamship company, from Brazilian ports, arrived here, and she is detained at Quaran- tine because of yellow fever, two deaths having occun'ed among her crew during the voyage.
