Gen. Greely to-day sent oficial notice to the off- cers in charge of twelve of the Signal! Service sta- Uons that on the first day of April they will vacate the buildings they then occupy and discontinue ‘the work at such stations, They are as follows: Eastport, Me.; New Haven, Conn.; Rochester, Y.; Erle, Pa; Pensacola, Fia,; Sandusky, Ohio; Escanaba, Mich.; Keokuk, lowa; Mackinaw City, Mich.; Dubuque, fowa; Lamar, Mo, and Lexing: ton, Ky. This action is necessitated by the fallure of the a ation bill to wide fur the renting of the Dulidings. ‘The deficiency amounts to’ $5,000. When this fact was discovered the general lame- diately appointed a committee to determine Which of the stations could be best abandoned, With the least loss or injury to the service. The Teport of the committee has been in his hands for some time, Dut he has held the matter in abey- ance until tits morning, So that the owners of the buildings will have just unirty days’ notice. - WHAT GEN. GREELY SAYS. Gen, Greely sald to a Srax reporter this morning ‘that In the selection of these twelve stations he has endeavored to avoid any injury to the service, For example, New Haven 1s selected because on ‘the east U astation at New London ina Government building, 50 miles a'vay, and on ‘west there is a station at New York, a distance of 60 miles, Thus the coast will still be well Rochester ites between Buffalo and Oswego, bot of which have stations. Erie is between Cleveland and Toledo, ad thus in the whole lst there 1s not a station aband ned that isabsolutely needful. At Mackinaw, Escanaba, Erie, Sandusky, New Haven and Eastport he will estabitsn display ‘stations which will need no money for renting. AN APPROPRIATION ASKED FOR. He has communicated with the appropriations committee of the Senate, through the Secretary of War, urging that the §, )0 be Inserted Im the deficiency bill, and thus de 1.5 done all he can to cover the ground. In case the Senate inserts the item and It passes the House, be sald, work will be resumed at some Of the stattons—probably half of them—but there are others, New Haven, for @: ample, which Will not again be established.

The chances are that the bill will get into the House within a few days, and there won't be much time lost in calling it up for consideration. The majority of the committee have been working with great care and earnestness since the committees of ‘the House were announced, and believe that the regult will pay for their ldbor.
