SThe Acting Secretary of the Navy to-day ree ceived the following telegram from Commander Meads, of the Yantic, at St Johns: “To charter another foreign ship with foreign crew, thelr duty to go north at this sea- son, would simply invite fresh disaster. Proteus bandied very unskillfully, and crew be- haved very shamefully at wreck.’ Ship must be American, manned and officered by navy, and thoroughly equipped. Unless winter quarters can’be reached north of Cape Athol the attempt would be useless, This cunnot be done. Melville bay will be impassable by October-4st at latest. Ship cannot winter at Upper Nuviki, and cannot sledge north from there.” A TELEGRAM FROM LIEUT. GARLINGTON. A telegram was received at the signal office to- day from Licut, Garlington, giving explanation of the loss of the Proteus, and making suggestions Telative to the fitting out of an expedition this fall ior the reltet of the Greely party. The contents, however, were not given out. Friends of Lieut. Gariington say that if supple- mentary orders were issued to him to land stores at Littleton Island before pushing further north, he never received them, for he is the man who would go strictly accord! ng to orders. LIEUT. DANENHOWER’S OFFER. Lteut. Danenhower has made application to the Navy department to goon an expedition for the relief of Lieut. Greely and party. ge = Civil Service at the City Post Office. A BATCH OF “ELIGIBLES” FROM THR LAST EXAM- INATION—AN OFFICE EMBARRASSED BY A SCAR- CITY OF APPLICANTS. ‘The board of examiners of the city post office to-day finished their review of the examination Papers of the thirteen applicants for places, ex- amined lasi Monday. Three of the applicants for carriers’ positions passed and their names will be Placed on the list of eligibles. They are John E. Powell, James Mager and Edward P. Burket. Of the ‘applicants for clerical positions three also passed, viz: Nellie Talley, Maggie L. Adams and John 8. Burton. As there 13 on the list of eligi- bles for clerkships only one other man’s name be- sides that of Mr. Burton, who has just _passsed, in case the postwmaster should have occasion to ap- potnt a male clerk he would have but two names to select from, whereas the law contemplates that tour shall be furnished him, Postmaster Conger remarked to-day that he did not know what had become of the 250 or 300 applicants who were after Places last July. Now, 1 case of an increase 1n the clerical force the list of eligibles would be en- tirely Inadequate to supply the want. Most of the itions in the office are such that ladies could not well be appointed to them. Post Office officials, in talking over the matter to-day, concluded that the Post Office suf- red from the fact that new appointees there re- celve but $600 a year, while in the general depart- mental Service they Feesive 3990. Some of those, who passed the last examination, never returned W the office to get. their papers. Two witidrew their papers to enter the departmental examina. ton, which promised better pay to the successful candidates. - It ts thought that some entered the Post Office exainination,considering It easier than the generat examination, for the purpose of get Ung information whic would be valuable to them in preparing tor the general examination, As It Is, however, at present, the candidates ex- j amined for the city post office stand a better chunce of speedy appointment. It 13 expected Unit another exaioination will be held at an early day in order to recruit the list of eligibles, ze ee IMMIGRATION DURING THR Past YRAR—The re port of Henry A. Hurlbut, president of the com- missloners of emigration of the state of New York, to the Secretary of the Treasury, shows that trom Aucust 3d, 1882, to June 30, 1883, the number of immigrants landed each month at Castle Garden Was: 1882—AUcUst, 25,236; ember, 33.531 tober, 30,382 : December, 19,818. 1ss3—Tanuart ru ty, 13,213; March, 28,- O91; April, 53.62; May, 69.5937 June, 53.178.

E > WHAT IT MEANS AND HOW IP 35 STAMPED ON THR LOAVES—NO DEMANDS°MADE BY THE JOURNEYMEN EXOEPT THE DISCHARGE OF NON-UNION MEN—A TALK WITH BOS8ES AND JOURNEYMEN, &0. Every one who buys bakers’ bread has noticed the letters “K.L.” stamped'or punctured into thecrust, the letters being formed by rows of dots, as if they had been formed py punching the dough with asharp plece of wire. So generally has the stamp ‘come into use that it is hard to find a loaf of bread baked in this city that’is notornamented with the mystic letters. . a “It means,” said Mr. John £. Vogt, the baker, to a Sag reporter, “that my men are union men. ‘That is all, Most all workingmen buy bread, and they will not buy the bread that is_not stamped.” *Do the journeymen bakers propose to 6 7 asked the reporter. “I don’t know what they are going to do,” sald Mr. Vogt. “ They have not struck yet.” “ Could not this stamp be counterfeited 1” “T suppose it could,” said sr. Vogt, “ but they would soon find It out’ “‘Are you a member Of the boss bakers’ associa- tion 7” inquired tne reporter. “No,” sald Mr. Vogt, “I have nothing to do with that association.” ‘HOW THE BREAD IS STAMPED, “There you can see bow the bread is stamped,” said Mrs. E.G. Stolp, the proprietress of a bakery on 6th street, taking @ loaf from the shelf and showing the dotted lines to the reperter. “This bread,” she said, taking up one of those loaves of pecullar shape, like a Gargantuan breakfast roll, known as “clogs” bread, “Is stamped on the bot- tomn, as it 1s Inconvenient to stamp the loaves on the top. Sometimes men come into the stores to buy bread, und won’t take this because they don’t gee the stamp. ‘The stamp has to be shown them ‘on the bottom of the loaf. Idon’t belong to the boss bakers’ association,” sald Mra Stolp; “I haven’t had anything to do with it yet. I attend vo my own business and pay my men good wages. Last Sunday a young man Came to work here for one of the men who was sick. There was some trouble about it, because he did not belong to the union, but he paid bis money and joined the Union. That made itall right. I don't see that ee stamp makes any difference, as everybody has em.” ° Back in Mrs. 8tolp’s bakenouse the re found @ group of journeymen. “ail it means,” Said one Of the journeymen, “is that the bread that bears thia stamp 1s biked by union men. There tg no strike. I'll show you how it is done.” So the journeyman took tho ‘ilttle stamp, which has a wooden handle, the letters being formed by rows of sharp-pointed pieces of wire, and patting a little sae ot dough into shape pressed the stamp upon “Doesn't it take considerable time?” asked the reporter. “No. When @ man getsa pan of bread ready he runs over it very fast, like a compositor setting type.” 72D you stamp anything but bread?” inquired the reporter. “No,” sald the Journeyman; “It would be impos- sible to stamp roils, and then it is not necessary.” WHAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE JOURNEYMEN’S ASSO- CIATION SAYS. + Mr. Joseph Ruhl, president of the Journeymen Bakers’ Assembly, was found in cap and apron getting a mountain of dough ready for the oven at Smith’s bakery. “These stamps,” he said,“were issued to each bakery employing union men, and were inthe charge of the foremen. The bosses Were not allowed to have them.” “In other trades,” sald Mr. Ruhl, ‘the men can watch and see what the employers are doing, but We are so situated that we can’t do that, and we have adopted this stamp.” _ “Can't it be counterfeited?” asked the reporter. “No, It can’t; because we have copyrighted It It would be unlawful to counterfeit it.” “Don’t all the boss bakers employ union hands?” “There are some that doh’t. Wo have given bakers who have scabs in their employ until a Week from next Sunday. Then, if they don’t dis- charge the scabs,.we will take the union men out and take their stamps away.” “Have the jourdeymen struck for better wages?” Inquired the reporter. « “No,” there has been no strike, and the question of arranging a scale of wages has not been dis- cussed. I think, though, we will make some de- mands.” “Is the unior strong?” “We have about 150 men,” sald Mr. Rubl. “There are about twenty or twenty-five not in the union. The assembly has only been organized a few months.” “Do you propose to help the boss bakers raise the price of bread?” inguired Tas S@AR. ‘No we can’t do that,” said Mr, Ruhl laughing. “We have made no demands on them, and it they Taise the price of bread it 1s for their own benefit, not ours. They wanted us to boycott bakers that | didn’t agree to keep up their prices. Now we couldn’t ask the other assemblies to do that. ft would make usa laughing stock. ‘They wiil help us to get a reduction of workigg hours or an in- crease of wages, but they would not help in any- thing like that”? Among the journeymon bakers the chief com- Plaint ts on account of th efong hours of labof. In many bakeries, the journeymen are required atter working al! night in the bake-house to take out Wagons and deliver tha goods. In this way, in some instances, they are kept at work more than 7 hoursa day. “Then,” sald one journeyman, “sometimes we have to sit for twenty minutes or halfan hour waiting until the boss is ready to come in and settle our accounts. That time, of course, comes outof us. The boss loses nothing by it” The wages of skillful journeymen range trom $10 to $15 a week with board, each man being allowed in addition two loaves of bread a day. THE BO8S BAKERS’ ASSOCIATION. An organization has been formed among the boss-bakers, and steps have already been taken by them, as reported in Tug STak, to regutate the price of bread. Mr. Chariton, of the well-known Havenner’s bakery, told a Star man that the organization of bakers was really for the purpose of sustaining the Knights of Labor, and for this reason they stamp the letters “K.’L.” on each loaf of broad, denoting that they employ none but union work- m:n, or “Knights of Labor.” As far as the effort of the bakers? association 1s directed to control the price of bread he had very little confidence in it, judging from past experience. ‘This has fre- quently been attempted, but the attempts have always failed, as the mon would not stick to- gether. He thouzht, however, that thero was a more favorable prospect now than ever before. 4 BOSS BAKER OPPOSED TO RAISING PRICES. Mr. John F. Seitz, of George Seitz & Son, said tn reference to the K. L. stamp: “Most all of the journeymen bakers have joined the union or Knights of Labor, and they adopted the stamp thatit might be known to the public who are thelr friends and who are not—those boss bakers employing unlon or K. L. hands being regarded as thelr friends ‘The foreman in each slop fs the responsible man, and he ts the party to whom. the stamp fs Issued. Here ft 1s,” sald Mr. Seltz, showing the reporter a block of wood about two Inches ‘and a halt square, into which seventeen pleces of wire are driven to'form the letters K. L. "When the foreman,” continued Mr. Seltz, “knows that non-union’ men are employed he is obliged to give up the stamp.” Js there any fixed rate of wages?” was asked. I am not aware that there is any scale of Wages in operation,” sald Mr. Seitz, “but we pay Wages which are satisfactory, ranging from $8 to $12 per week, and board, with'two loaves of bread Yoeach man. [rather think that we are paying full union wages if they have a set scale.” “What do you think,” asked the reporter, “or the action of the bosses in fixing the price of ” “Trather think that the bosses have put their foot in it,” said Mr. Seltz, “by resolving not to Sell to stores that retail bread without protit, and also that storekeepers must not sell at less than five cents per loaf. I don’t think that tt is any of thelr Dusiness to say to their customers how and to whom they should sell the bread. Is it not bet- ter for a grocer to sell at the cost price than to Keep the bread till tt isunsalable? It the Knights of Labor go with those bosses who have fixed the Price I think they will miss It, for it 1s against thelr own interest to have the price ratsed. ‘They Should be satisfled if the bosses pay the wa: asked. As far as employing union hands 18 con- cerned, Tam with them, but not with them out- side of that. I don’t Know that we are affected much, for we employ no wagons to deliver to stores, having enough to do with our ‘contracts with the Soldiers’ Home, the navy yard and naval hespital The way figure it, at 4 cents per loaf, tlie baker makes $2.50 pers bare St present and if tie community Ss y an ional eent'per loaf the baker wi make $260 per barrel aduitional. We are satisfied now; We ask our men to work: erent hours per day only and give good wages. I don’t believe that there is any necessity for a raise unless tt 1s topay delinquencies caused by the credit system, and if this is the cause,the party giving thecredit should ee the loss and not aitempt to get it out of the Ic.” : PAYING “Wan TIME” WAGES, Mr. G.J. Gockcler stated to a Stax reporter that, as he employs unton men, he at once used the “K. 1.” stamp, and he now pays the same wages he paid in war times. There were, he ‘understood, a Small number of bakers who did not use the stamp. One man had already had his stamp twice revoked, but on promising to pay the wages it had been again given to hin ee An Examination at the High School. APPLICANTS TO PILL THE VACANCIES. An examination was held to-day at the High ‘School, under the supervision of the principal, Mr, Paul, Of applicants for admission to the school. About twenty-five more pupfis can_be admitted to the school, and there were about that number of candidates examined to-day. It 13 expected that about two-thirds of this number will pass The majority of the applicants examined are new to the Washt schools: “some nave been tis in the High schools of other cities and will take places in advanced grades here. Six of those ex- Sie so doing. ~ Sickness Or other cause from —- sub, Birnie Sammy ‘The chief topic commented upon by real estate dealers and agents to whom a §fB reporter applied yesterday for information a8 to what was going on in the real estate market was the demand for houses to rent “The real estate market is active,” sald Mr. R. O. Holtzman to the reporter, “very active for this season of the year, and there 1s an unprecedented demand for houses to rent. I never saw anything like it. There is as much demand as we have been accustomed to have in October.” “It Is amazing,” said Dr.O. F. Presbrey, speaking of the demand for houses to rent, “There are a great number of people coming here this winter. It ts hard to get houses to meet the demand. ‘There will be more people here this winter than ever before. ‘The inquiries are for a.good class of houses. A great many houses will have ee) butt in Washington for the people that comin; these are only winter residents?” sugges- “Bu the reporter. “They may come here for a winter,” said Dr. Presbrey, “but when they once ceme, they can’t getaway. Itis probable that after here ue winter they Will come back and buy or Duild.” Mr. B. H. Warner, in speaking of the request for houses to rent, observed that ‘umber of members: mngress were coming juir~ ing for new houses, Other gentiomen also noticed the demand. One real estate agent said there was ont kao rhore th people trom,” ead “Ido yw where Pron from,” the agent, “but if I hada bul red guch houses t Cou!d very soon get tenants for them.’ “The natural inference 18,” sald the reporter, “that rents are gotag up?” “Well, I woulda’t, ‘anything about that,” said the agent, ‘but, of course, rents go up with the demand. New heuses: its, Ibis hard to raise rents on old teaents, bit when houses are vacated, my instructions from gwners general- Wists to pur ay the rent $5 or $10 for the next ten- ant” SIGNS OF THE TIMES NOTED BY AN AUCTIONEER, “There is Plenty of money in circulation,” sald an old realestate auctioneer toa Star reporter. “We can tell that from the few inquiries there are for loans.” “Are there any chances now to get good bar- gains at trustees’ sales of property?” asked the Srax reporter, “Not now,” said the auctioneer, “At one time you couid have made a good thing by watching such chances. Now, to tell the truth, men pay more money for property at auction than they would be asked for it at Private sale. We always et more than the limit, For instance, I sold for 000 the other day a piece of property that { was instructed to let go for $1,600. In the case of an- other recent sale the bid at which the property was knocked down was several thousand dollars more than the limit. One Teagon is the abundance of money in circulation which seeks opportuni Ues for investinept. It does not matter whether the weather is good or not. If it tains, every man thinks that he will go to the sale ahd get a good Dargain, as there will be littje competition. The result is every one goes, and the competition 1s very lively.” ACTIVITY ON CAPITOL HILL . “There 1s a good deal of activity in real estate,” said Mr. J. T. Coldwell,real estate agent and mem- ber of the late board of assessors, ‘*and things aro booming especially on Capitol Hill There are good chances for investment on Capitol Hill. Property there now 1s about as it was in the north- West afew years ago. Ifa man buys in the West End a panic may come and prices will drop, There is little danger of that on Capitol Hill at present Prices.
