W. Flagg, of Ells-, worth, Mass,,has been recommended for re- moval for mailing circulars at his office that should have been mailed at Boston, thus in- creasing his salary, which fs baced ‘upun the number of stamps canceled. ‘The pont office in- Spectors’ investigations have revealed the fact that there are persons in the large cities who make a business of furnishing and addressing great quantities of clreulars for firms free of cost, upon the payment of one-cent postage upon each circular. They take these circulars to asmall village post office and stipulate with the postmaster ior a sl.are in \is commissions, and this share, itseems, 's large enough to make the business lucrativ Comm1sstoNER THOMAN’S INDIANA BONDS.— Judge Thoman, who is in Helena, Mont., sald yesterday in relation to his transactions In In- diana township bonds that he got them in the way of legitimate business from A. E. Davis, of Chicago ,his personal friend, and added: “I 'be- Jong to no syndicate. I have no interest in a paint manufacturing establishment with Mr, avis. Iam not his partner in any business.” MINING INTERESTS IN ALASKA.—Lieut, Com- mander H. E. Nichols, commanding the U.S. S. Pinta, in a dispatch to the Navy department dated Sitka, Alaska, August 13th, reports that the ships, during the summer, visited nearly all the principal Villages in southeastern Alaska, He says that he was told that Winchester rifies were sold by traders to the indians, The first shipment of bullion trom Dou:lass island was made in July. After twenty-five days work,as he was intormed, $95,000 was shipped to San Francisco, Itis estimated that 1,500 Indians Were congregated at Juneau, having come from ee ee Seto southeast Slaseae ‘They work ry eeapd in ti many of them, ng money, which they seemed to keep, ~ the miners who were taken by the May to Chilcoot, to go to the Yukon rit returned. They reported that as far ag y went they found nothing to pay. The Jurae river mines (erroneously ealled Juno in pre- vious reports) had not turned out as expected, though a few miners were at work still. Some quartz mining was going on at Silver bay, near Sitka, A Lost VoucHEr.—The United States today entered suit against Clayton McMichael, mar- shal of the District, to recover $465, the amount of difference claimed to be due the government in the settlement of his accounts as first Ieu- tenant and regimental quartermaster of the 9th U.S, Infantry. It is claimed by the mar- shal that the account has been settled once and that the voucher representing the amount of difference has been lost, and he thinks it unjust to him that he should be called upon to pay the money. Lrevur. Mason 1n Luck.—The latest topic of interest in naval circles Is the revocation of the resignation of Lieut, T. B. M. Mason at his own. request. It was tendered on the 28th of May last, immediately after Lieut. Mason’s return from the Panama expedition, and was accepted to take effect June 1st, 1886.’ He immediately went to Europe for an’ extended trip, and has been traveling there ever since. His resigna- tion is now revoked, and he has the greater part of his leave of absence yet to enjoy, with- out danger of interruption by sea duty, to which he would probably have been ordered had he remained in Washington. Naval offi- cers think he has done very well. He was very well known in Washington. He was the super intendent of the naval intelligence office at the Navy department and stood {n high tavor with the last administration. He was always se- lected by President Arthur to make the naval Presentations at his official receptions. NAVAL ORpERS.—Lieut. R. G.

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS COURT EXPENSES NECESSARY AND LEGAL. Secretary Bayard has transmitted Judge Har- Jan’s written defense of the organization of the Court of Alabama Claims (concurred in by his asvoclates on the bench—Judges French and Draper), to the Attorney General foran opinion, The line of defense taken by Judye Harlan 1s Just about that forshadowed in THE Sra. He Says no one was employed by the court whose services were not absolutely indispensable, and no money has been spent unnecessuarilly. He refers to the mandatory provisions of the law suthorizing the court requiring the work to be done in a certain limited time. Nearly 8,000,000 claims, representing an ageregate sum of $42,000,060, le says, had been filed for disposition by the court at its two sessions, and he suggests that it canot be supposed that Con- gress intended that one clerk should do the work of ten men; or that one counsel, whose presence was constantly required before, the court, should supervise the simultaneous taking of testimony in almost every state or territo ry of the Union, in England, France, Germany, Japan, China, India, Peru, the West Indian and Hawallan islands, and {n nearly every im- portant seaport on the habitable globe? Con- gress could not have entertained any such pur- pose. The question of employing assistant counsel, he says, was referred to Attorney Gene- ral Taft, who decided that their employment Was necessary and legal. When the court was reorganized, he continues, it found that the question now under consideration had been settled in favor of the court by the continued practice of the former court, and by the deliber- ate approval of every official of the «overn- ment whove duty it was to pass judgment there- ‘on, and that. such practice ‘had been acquiesced in by Congress and the People withouta word of dissent for seven years, It found, moreover, that the business of the court had been greatly enlarged by the act of June 5, 1882, and that it was required to be completed in two years, oo Wheat Production and Distribution. INTERESTING FACTS FROM STATISTICIAN DODGE’S REPORT. In his September report on the condition of the crops, which came from the printing office this morning, Mr. J. R. Dodge, statistician of the department of agriculture, presents some interesting facts in relation to the production and distribution of wheat for a series of years past, He states that since 1850 the production of wheat in this country has increased twice as fast as population, and that last year's crop was five times as large as that of the year just named, The causes of this rapid Increase he finds: 1, In “the possession of large areus ot fresh land easily brought into cultivation; 2, the extension of rafiroad construction, ‘and 3, more recently a period ot séveral years, of poor crops in western Eu- Tope.” He points out the striking fact that the importation of the last eight years, amounting to 1,118,288,472 bushels, “is nearly the same as for the preceding fifty-one years, which waled 1,135,198,673 bushels” and yet he adds, “so Vuriable is the demand that the an- Dual shipments have difiered 90,000,000 Dusheis in two years, The effect of this uncer- taint disastrous to all calculations of 2% & producing e of our heaviest crops and low e of the worst yields on record.” m rn of normal seasons in Europe our ex] tion bas so tar decreased that the average for the lust four yeurs has been 58,000,000 bushels a year less than our maxi- Mum export—that of 1880-81. Mr. e"s conclusion is that wheat growing is Crandon, and that the. ony, Temmedy: ae the glutin the wheat market is a reduction of the acreage in that grain and increased attention tw other crops. The accuracy of the department estimates as to the amount of wheat produced is sustained in @ somewhat remarkable degree Ey, the figures as to exportation fur tLe jast eight years, coupled with the most authorita- live estimates as to the amount used for food and for seed. The averuge annual consump- tion for the eight years, 1877-1884, as thus shown ia 485,088,458 bushels, while the aver- ‘age annual production for the’ same period, as shown by the figures of the department of agri- culture is 445,457,692 bushels. This slight ex- cess of production over apparent consumption 4y in great purt accounted tor by the fact that the surplus on hand now is much larger than that on band at the beginning of the period In question, while the remainder, as Mr. Dodge fustly points out, “ls scarcely enough for the jouses on tho lakes by fire. — oe —__ John Pope Hodnett’s Meeting, THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW DENOUNCED BY “THE PEOPLE” —A COMMITTEE TO WAIT UPON THE PRESIDENT. A STAR reporter followed a sound up a high flight of stairs last night and found himeelf in the presence of “the people” who had assem- bled to derfounce the civil service reform law as # humbug. The meeting was called “by order of the executive committee of the United Labor League of America” to meet at 1406 Pennsylvania avenue. Twelve colored men sat In dull silence with the backs of their chairs against the wall, while John Pope Hodnett ad- dressed the meeting, denouncing the clvil ser- vice reform law with spirited eloquence, Be- sides this there were two or, three newspaper men, who had not come to take any part in the meeting. Mr. Hodnett told of the wrongs done the laboring men and farmers by the law re- quiring examinations, for public service, He said that the office-holding classes were superior to the President: that they formed an aris- tocracy which the empires in Europe had built, up by spending money to secure the passage of the civil service law, and that their object was to break up the instilutions of the government and seat one of Victoria's sons on the American throne. ‘Then he squatted ta an awful attitude of tyranny to show how he would sit on the throne. Then he told them how the workingmen had conquered the world; how they had -helped Napoleon First to break. all the crowns in Europe, and called upon them to arise and_help ‘our democratic Presi- dent, Grover Cleveland,” to crush out the many- headed serpent of civil service law. As he spoke he ‘w in enthusiasm and addressed his lozen nodding auditors as if they were an army. Towa the conclusion of his address he called for the reading of the resolutions, which had been adopted little earlier in the proceedings. as two men had entered the room since their adoption. Thereupon the secretary read the resolutions, which declared that “true reform of the civil service Is to remove the in- competent and dishonest men” whose corrupt- ing practices had rendered the law necessary. and that monopoly in office is as bad as monopoly in ralltoads. Then it de nounced the law and its founders; in- dorsed the present administration and declared that “the workingmen and furmers having never had an epportunity to steal from the gov- ernment, and having never been charged with fo doing, appeal to the President and the cabi- net to set aside the law that excludes them from the public offices.” The speaker then announced that this set of resolutions had been unanimously adopted. Adopted by this assembly—he began—then stopped, and, look- ing at, his twelve cojored supporters, ddded, parenthetleally, “there are not so maiy here night, buvthere is another meeting at Shi- Job hall, where I'am sure there are a thousand men, So these resolutions are the unanimous voles of the American people. Now, if some ‘one will make the motion, we will adjourn.” Atter a painful silence of a few moments an old colored man got up and sald: “I moves you, now, sah. ‘Two other colored met yt up and seconded the’ motion and tise meeting dissolved. “Before ing, however, the Frestd@uts Jone Sectarenin Ellice, D.8.
