The Commissioners, deeming It proper
to submit n further statement respecting
their views on tho bill to extend tho streets
and n enucs of tho city nnd District .havo
sent another letter to Chairman Hemp
hill or lho Houso District Committee.
The) do not think it advisable to oUcnd
all streets from their present tcimini at
Houndary street, becauso they aro too far
apart, thus making tho squares so large
that they havo to bo subdivided. Tho
plan should conform Itself to tho topog
raphy of tho country.

by tho Commissioners," said a District

that tho amount is less than $150. Includ

called for. A laigo proportion of theso

ICxnintiiullun of WltiicmeK by the In
estl;ntln; Committee Tu-tliij,
Tho investigation of tlio Public Printing
Office was resumed this morning, Chair
man Klchardson, Mr. Calllngcrund Mr.
Heistand being tho only members present.
Mi, Francis Munson of Chicago, n
bookbinder, was the llrsl witness. Ho
stated that he had always been looked
upon as an cxpcit on bookbind
ing ,nnd paper. In 18SJ Mr, Hounds
appointed him n copyholdci in the
Printing Olllco nt tho requestor n niiin
bcr or Chicago merch Hits, about tluce
lourths or whom were Democrats. Ho
wns promoted .to bosupcrlntendcnt or tho
paper warehouse and held that position
until two weeks after Mr. lloncdlcl took
charge, when ho was icduccd lo tho milk
which lie now holds.
A number of ln olees or paper recch cd
under the administration ot Mr. Hounds
wero taken up nnd examined by Mr.
Hichnidsou. In many cases tbo invoices
showed n recommendation by tho In
spectors that tho paper bo rejected, yet
the paper was accepted by Mi. Hounds.
The witness paid that In somo Instances
the paper was accepted because the
emeigcncy of the ciiso required It.
lho witness hid known Mr. Hounds
for more than thirty years; noicr believed
him capable of anything dishonorable.
During tho course of his testimony the
witness caused bomo niciiliuent by saying
his recollection was not as good at $ IJO
per day as it might bo at 5 73 per day. In
othei words, ho did not consider the
responsibility Tor .1.20 as great as nt
$o.fr.
After bomo minor details had been gono
over, Mi. Gallingersaid ho was not pre
pared to cross examine the witness, and
could not do so until ho hid examined
tlio testimony given. Mr. Munson was
then excused, and .Mr. M. A. W. Luwls,
dclheiy clerk, wus plueed on the stand.

ment, When the Republican convention meets
Senntor Sherman will occupy a position
similar to that held by Mr. Bliiine In Chi
cago in 18S0, when tho Plumed Knight
dictated the nomination of Oar Held.
Sherman's Pi csldcntiul aspirations first
took n firm hold on his admirers vv lion he
wiisSecrctnrv of lho Treasury, nnd ever
Mnto then no opportunity has boon lost
to tell hlspirty whj lie should be nomi
nated, The t bulge has been made that when
tlio Senator was ciretnry ot the Treas
ury ho tivid that olllco lor all It was
worth, nnd in 18M) ho I'nino very near

is udliiuted to-day that hud It not
been foi limine, Sherman would
havo. been nomlnitcd, Now, how
ever.'Mr Blalno Is considered by lho
Sherman men us out of tho race, and
cvci) cllort is being uiade to impress ou
delegates tho "Inccrltv ol tho Blaine
letter. Tlio trlendsor Mr. Sherman siy,
ami not without good foundation, that in
the convention tho Senator will poll Ids
grcutct strength rrom tlio South, nnd that
It the fiites should turn ng dust him, ho
will, notwithstanding tlio turn of tho
tide, bu placed in n position to dictate the
nomination, It he desiics tho second
place on the ticket, nud there is it feeling
tint ho will not refuse, the oiler, ho tan
have It without any opposition what
ever. "lho one thing lint will defeat Sher
man for first place," stld a Western Re
publican touCiiiTtcjrepotter, "isthoover
coiitldence oT his friends. Then nu er
fortwill bo mndo to show Hint tho Sena
tor's position on thn resumption of ;peeio

the Treasury do not harmonise, unci
that his relations with tho National
Banks aro not such as to aiouso that en
thusiasm among the workingmou which
issoe-i'cntlnl to success. Senator Sher
man's boom is spreading, but tlio upshot
of tlio vvholo business will probably bo a

whoso boom just now has grown to Tali
