In regard to the complaint ot several New tendent Bell, of the foreign mail service, says he makes it a rule to send the mails by the line that will convey them most promptly; that un- Jems the letter oF p fy THE AUSTRIAN MISSION. Secretary Manning Will Probably Re- ceive the Appointment. AUSTRIA WILL GIVE HIM A CORDIAL RECEP TION—AN AUSTRIAN FREE TRADER TO SUC- CEED MINISTER SCHAEFFER. It is reported that Secretary Manning will go &s minister to Austria instead of returning to the Treasury department. He has not fully Tecovered from his recent illness, and it is feared that to again undertake the duties of the Treasury department would be more than he could stand. 4t is thought that a sojourn in Austria would be very beneficial to his health, Particularly as he would spend most of his time at Hall or Franzensvad, the famous health resorts, which are frequently visited by the crowned heads of Europe with benefit. Mr. Manning's physician, it 1s said, thinks he would recover his health quicker there than anywhere else, and the President has decidalt to make the appointment. A hint as to the appointment is sald to have been made to Austria, and it was recelved with great tavor. Mr, Manning is sure to be received with high distinction, Doth socially and officially, and the Austrian government will be highly’ pleased with the appointment. Pains would be taken to make up, by attentions to him, for the rejec- Uon of Mr. Kieley. Minister Schuetfer has retired from diplo- matic service, but his successor will be ap- pointed as scon as the appointment of the American minister is announced. It is not yet known who it will be, but some Official prom- nent as a free trader will be sent to this country.

Newton's Successor. COL, DONANE THE MAN—RETIREMENT OF COL, STEWART—COL, BLUNT TO BE RETIRED IN JANUARY, Col. Charles 8. Stewart, corps of engineers, ‘was yesterday afternoon by direction of the President placed upon the retired list of the army, at his own request, having served more than forty years, He was the senior officer of the engineer corps when Gen. Newton was re- tired, but his poor health, resulting in arequest, for retirement, placed him even then out of the race for promotion to chief of engineers. Col. Caries E. Blunt was next inrank to Col, Stewart, but the fact that he retires for age next January rendered hiin practically ineligi- ble tor the promotion. It is now learned uiat Col, Blunt, in anticipation of nis retirement, hus asked lor leave of absence unt that dat and bis request bus been granted by Gei Drum, who is acting Secretary of War. Col. Blunt’ may be considered, therefore, as a re- Ured officer, leaving Col. Jas, C, Donae as the senior officer of the engineer corps. ‘This tact, logether with his exceptionally brilliant record as an engineer officer, and his acknowledged ability as au executive officer, makes him by far the most likely-successur to Gen.

Chief Clerk Youmans, while overlooking the pretty flower gardens of the Treasury depart- ment and pointing out the improvements that had been made to a Stax reporter, said: “During the last session of Congress I was called before the House committee on appro- priations to answer questions in regard to the needs of the Treasury. Mr.Holman, of Indiana, pointing to a raph in the appropriaticn Ei inquired whut need there was for ‘the meh therelu mentioned. ‘I want them for our flower gardens,’ responded the chief clerk. ‘I want che mau,'a competent gardener, as sup- intendent, and about three iaborers." “Oh there is no necessity for anything of that kind,’ reworted Mr, Holman. +Your gardens do not produce anything that can be eaten, and so can be dispensed with.’ ‘That is true,” answered Mr. Youmans, ‘I might raiso potatoes in them, but Ihave thought Unal this great and rich government could well afford some outlay for beautitying aud orna- ienUng its possessions at the national cap tal, Those gardens are very much admired, and certainly are an attractive feature of thé ‘Treasury; bul tue ground is there, and I can have it planted In potatoes or cori, though 1 believe in the posies.’” With the exception of Mr. Holman the en- tire commilice voted forthe posies,” and the flower gardens remain, ‘The Charleston Relief Fand.

A Talk With Gen. S. W. Crawford, Just From the Ruined City. Gen. 8. W. Crawford, of the United States army, retired, who went to Charleston imme- diately atter the earthquake, arrived in Wash- ington, with ex-Gov. Fairchild, of Wisconsin, this morning, Gen. Crawford told a Stan reporter to-day that the most pressing need in Charleston just now is among the small property holders, whose little homes have been destroyed by the earthquake. These poople are utterly Unable to repair their ruined dwellings unless it be by mortgaging or otherwise encumbering the property to an extent that would in most cases be @ virtual transfer. Indeed, in many cases even this is not possible, for reasons thatcan be readily understood.’ The need ot this class 1s most urgent, as every day that large numbers of the population continue to live in tents ard other temporary shelters increases the dapger of an epidemic in the afflicted city. Winter is approaching, and if the class “of people mentioned are not alded to make their dwellings habitable it is hard to see what will become of them. Gen, Fairchild coincided with Gen, Crawford in this view of the case, and hence the appeal which the former made to the Grand Army of the Hepublic of which he is commander-in- chiet Gen. Crawford sald the engincers sent to Charleston by the government had been of great service to the afflicted people in deter- mining the extent of the damage to buildings and in clearing away the debris. Already te engineers had induced over 500 families toreturn to their homes. Gen. Crawford said that the rellet work was going on admirably. Skilled mechanics and artisans were wanted. It had been _ discovered that many negroes employed in the Phosphate beds about Charleston had sent thelr wives and families into the city to draw rations from the rellet committees and had stopped work themselves. However, the committee had thought it best not to inquire foo closely into the siecessities of ‘those appl ing for reliet, and unless the case was one of flagrant imposition no oue Was sent away empty-hand ~____¢@9_—_____ THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Preparing for the Opening Day—The New Normal School. Superintendent Powell's office was the scene of increasing activity to-day, the work of pre- paring for the opening of the schools going rap- idly forward. Teachers returning to the city, parents seeking information and others who have any business in counection with the schools, besiege the superintendent's office. To- day the supervising principals continued giv- ing out tickets of admission, and the rush was as greatas yesterday. In the first division, up to noon to-day, 510 tickets had been issued. When it is considered that the issuing of juost every ticket was preceded by a recital of the family history of the applicant and his hopes for the future, it may be seen that the task im- osed upon the supervising principal is not a light one. Some persons write or apply to the Supervising principals to reserve seats ior tb children, who for some reason may be unable (0 attend school on the opening day. “We cannot reserve seats,” said one of the supervising prin- cipals, “such @ thing wouldn’t du at all ina lie sctiool. ‘The rule is, first come, first Many of those who apply for tickets hay preference us to eachers or buildings, bat, of course, ull cannot be gratified. ‘Tickets will be issued’ to-morrow morning and probubly Monday evening. ‘The Normal sch will be organized wita forty pup four boys. “The school will be equally divided between the Frankliu and Webster building @nd Miss Atkinson, the principal, will have charge of the whole school.
