THE TIMES, WASHINGTON, JFBJDAT, NOTEMBEK 19, 1897. IEGRETARY BLISS' REPORT Recommendations as to Several Local Institutions. GOVERNMENT INSANE ASYLUM Superintendent Should Be nequlrod to Deposit IMoneys Intrusted to Ilim ny Putients in the Treasury as a Trust Fund Frcedmnn's Hos pital "Work -Commended. Cornelius Bliss, Sccrelary of tie Interior, tias transmitted his annual report to the President. The first recommendation lie makes is thai Congress shall makescparatc appropriations for He Ciil Service Com mhsslon. The Secretary can tee 1:0 good reason for requiring Hie department to dis burse moneys appropriated for lent or to pay ILe contingent expenses, stationery printing and binding or tlie commission out of the department fiindH, which are inadequate to properly provide for the -wants of Its bureaus. On the subject of forestry Secretary Bliss says: IL wan my intention originally to es tablith a fi-rest bureau in this depart ment, but the inadequacy of the uppropria tion for the work precluded niy carrying iHto erfeil such plan. I have, however, takn such action as thecircumstances per Hilt ted, and Mnce July 1, 1S97, have ap pointed "pedal forest agents and super-vl'-ors to patrol the reterves and to en tuwc the rcgulatiuns. The work per forated ly this small corps will he a nucleus, cut or which, no doubt, will grow a. forestry system and eventually a forest Iwreau, oiiq tliat, if efficiently conducted, will be praeUcally selr-sustalnlng, and a levenue pioducer, 1-y conn'rvlng the for-erti-, protecting them in their growth and providing f.r their proper utilization. Iii the naa'ter of the Government Hos pltal for the Insane. Secretary Bits.-, says: "In tlie last annual report attention was directed to ttie fact that the superin tendent -jf the Government Hospital for the Insane had rami tint' to time deposited wit him as custodian moneys and private effertsof patient to be expended or ured in. their .'.ehnlf as the occasion .night re quire: tluit such personal property of the iiiHiMci-. whet her clothiujr.wntche, Jewelry, money, etc, were mattersof trust imposed upon Um; superintendent of the hospital by virtue of his office, and ids legal responsi bly therefor was that of roasomwle carc only. Suc-t. fiiud on the :$0th of June, iSCO, aggregated over $50,000, and for tfte prcpei application thereof, as well as tor the expenditures of such money, the sujierinUmdent was not rerfponsihl. under his bond as h Pulled States disbursing officer of public funds. """The fact tliat an embezzlement of over f 14,000 from this fund by one of the em Idoyes ef the hospital had occurred was alw adverted to and the opinion ex mussed th8t, as moneys of this character -ccelvod by the superintendent, to be held In trurt for the various patients were iit sttlctly under the control of this de partment and the Government could not be legally responsible for lo'-s thereof, it was advisable thar. legislation be had look ing to the proper care aud custody or nick deposits. It was then recommended that Congress enact a law requiring the superintendent of the Government Hospital for the Insane to deposit in the United fctntoi Treasury the balance of tills so oalled patients' fund and any further sums paid him tor a like purpose; tliat such sums be disbursed and accounted for in all re ppecu as are the public funds, and that the cnperlntendeut be required to give an additional bond for the faithful care and disbursement of such trust funds. No ac tion having been taken hy Congress on Mich recommendations, I deem it proper to reiterate tlie same, and to state that the necessity lor tlie legislation desired Is as jn'fvit today as it was at the time of tlie submission of the report of ray predecessor." Of Howard University the Secretary say. "AH the Institutions connected with this department are required by law to submit an annual report as to oPeratious. with the eikCeption of Howard University. In the latter case the report lias been oAiied for as a matter of custom by the depaitmetit and submitted as an act of connesv by the president of the institu Hon. This, in my judgment, should be remedied hy making it obligatory on the purl of the president and directors of the university to so reiwrt, and I therefore recommend that they be specifically re quired by law to report to the Secretary of the Interior the condition of the institu tion on the 1st of July of each year." Or Freedmen's Hospital the report says "The work at the hospital during the j ear has been productive of satisfactory results. The internes have rendered faith ful and efficient service and are a valu able adjunct to the hospital corps.

He has been for two years the president of the Arethodlst Union, and is at present the chaitmiin of the committee in charge ot the Methodist bazar, now bnlngsuccessfully conducted by tl.at organization. He is, moreover, a man whose whole boul Is iu tht- work or the Young Men's Christian As fr'Ch.Uon. He nus been a director of tiie nssocJaUon for many yearn, and is widely end ravorably- known iu business, piorrs sionai, and social circle. Air. Swarv.ell brings to title great work not only a large interest, bur also a splendid capacity as an organizer and director or men. Air. Swartzell andthe committeein charge of the canvass Lave been more than pleased at the universal expression or sympathy with the movement that has been staretd. They feel that the people of Washington appreciate what the asociatfon has done for th: yovmg men in this city, and that ths citizen? of the District will contribute the necessary funds to erect a building that will be a credit and an ornament to the Capital City.

New York, Nov. 18. News of the release of the Competitor prisoners by the Spanish authorities today again called -attention to the Cuban situation and encouraged a more paciHc vleworit. Thestock market reflected encouraging Inriuences by decided strength, though most or the dealings con tinued on a oinall scale, with the market very dull the greater part or the day. Loudon quotations showed fractional advances for the the Ieadlngtnternation3lly listed shaies, and London houses were buyers of St. Paul and a leAV other stocks lo a small aggregate. Bugar Refining and Consolidated Gas were strong features. The Hrst named was afrected by runura bearing upon the pxpected decision of the Washington authorities upon the question ot imposing a countervailing duty upon Dutch sugars. According to these rumors the decision will be in faorof SMth a duty, though advices from Washington through ordinary news channels said that probably no de.-lsion would be reached for several days. Liquidation seemingly had ceased, at any rate for the time, in Consolidated Gas, and the advance or the stock ieflected In chief part the covering of contracts on the short side put out during the recent decline. People's Gas displayed heaviness In face of the strength else where, bpingsoldon rumorsof an Impending new bond issue. The best information is to the effect that a consolidated mort gage c: ?40.U00,000 will be placed upon the property, which will tako up all the outstanalng issues. The balance will not be sold except for extensions and Improvements. An unfavorable efrect In coal stocks was pro-luced shortly afternoon by the dispatch rrom Philadelphia saying that some, of the anthracite coal-prtduclng companies had refused to agree to a pollcy of restriction. This has been denied by the eompaiiiee here and a rally followed the publU-ation. The market closed dull but firm. New York Stock Alarlcet. Corrected daily by W. B. HIbbs & Co Bankers and Btokers.

Yesterday's trading was devoid of any new features and the market as a whole was most unin teresting, there being no specially new developments. A surprising number of stocks were hod dealt iu at all, and In most of the others onlv a few transactions occurred. Sugar was again the comparatively active feature. London prices for Americans were higher yesterday, and there was a disposition on London's part to buy stocks In New York. Excnange was easier, the slightly easier tone o' the London money market having an effect upon rates. Demand sterliug waa quoted at 4 85 1-2. Theto is, as usual, much dlversitj of opinion as to the immediate future of-the market aud many reasons alleged for the various shades of belief or alleged belief. Desplce the very evident fact that nobody but the room traders are now doing-anything, many people are talking of the heavy people who are soon to get into the market otthe low price?. So called, and push tiiem up. Some even hazard the guess that this active bull movement will commence today. It is asserted now most confidently that nothing In the Cuban situation will cause tho street any further trouble. The plan outlined in the gossip of the street Is that the President, Speaker Reed and other lead ing Republicansarcagreed that the Admin istration shall stand for a lamblike. peace in all Its utterances and methods and ef forts, even if it has to fight the rest of the country to keep lamb-like with Spain, we might almost say. The President's message is to beso pacific that no Spaniard, no matter how fiery and foolish, can objecc to it. A House Republican caucus indorse ment of this message is to be secured Mr. RoeJ is to prevent adverse action In the Houre itself by his usual methods. It Jp also urged that after the great break or the last t'.o months a reversal and advance is overdue. This Argument is apparently invalidated somewhat by the fact that it has been made every other day during all these two months and with no rew.li- It is a fact also that this is not the time of year when bull movements occur. Treupproach of Congresshasalways been a depressant to the stock market. On the whole, it would seem -wise to take the present market for what it is, undoubtedly, a professional affair entirely.andto buy on declines and sell on rallies. Tho earnings of M. K. T. for the second week of Novembei Increased $70,000. Chesapeake & Ohio earnings for the same week Increased ?0, 000. Cldcago Great Western showed an Increase ot .'U,00O. Lake Erie k. Western, $3,000 increase. Wheeling & Lake Erie $11,000 lucrease- The regu'ar 1 3-4 per cent dividend on National Lead preferred stock has been declared, payable December 15. Mr. Caile.v says: "There are very few stocks for sale. If bona fide orders come Into the market quotations go up. There are not many bona fide orders coming Into the market, and therefore quotations do not go up rapidly, nor far, but some of. the bull leaders are keeping their stocks alive, ha it were, waiting until a united action shall be agTeed upon. We cannot see any outcome except thafr quotatlon will be still higher within the nest few Joys." The story comes from Boston that at tlie meeting of the Burlington directors it was the tacit understanding that In February the stock will be put on a 5 per cent basis, and that the rate for the ensuing year will be not less than. that. One story Is that the rate will be 6 per cent even if business continues good until then. The New York Times says St. Paul's earningxwere entirely sathifactory. Never-; thelcsK, fiends of the road were undoubt edly disappointed. Town Topics says, with regard to West em Uni.m j.nd the other Gould properties: "George Gould is doing the horse show and until he returns to business, very llttlo may be looked for as far as he lx con cerned in the properties that bear his name. We- make mention of this fact became promises have been so often made, and fonie Hithiu the past few day, that West' em Union, Manhattan and Missouri raeiric would be made attractive tha it would be well for all who think of tak ing a petition on the long side ot the a a proporti-s to-wait for the return of Mr. Gould before venturing into the shares. -speeiried." The Sugar -dtuation is interesting, a usual . The Trust stock was the only active reatu'eor the market yesterday. It is now generally believed that the decision of th TrciST.ry Department with regard to Dutch sugars will be in favor of American sugar neople. This belief seems to l.e rased oa pretty fair foundation from all that cau be learned. However, the dectsion may not be reached for several days.
