Orrice-Seexexs Wo Sexo Tem Puoto- Guarus.—An oddity in the line of applications for office has been received at the Post-Oftice department. It was a photograph of the ap- plicant and was accompanied by the request that the picture be filed with the papers in the case. What is intended to be a genial smile has evidently been too much for the skill of the country photographer, and the result is an expression of mingled astonishment and di may, which is no doubt much more amusing than the original smile. This is the third ap- plication accompanied by a photograph which has been received at the Post-Otfice depart- ment, and if the action of the Postmaster-Gen- eral is favorable in these cases there is a proba- bility of the custom becoming general, at least in such cases where the features of the appli- cants cannot be personally brought within the focus of the Postmaster-General’s eye.

Lang- ley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, members of the board of commissioners of the Zoological park, have issued a notice to owners of property along Rock creek. The commie- sioners are required by the law, approved March 2, 1889, to select a tract of land not less than 100 acres along Rock creek for the use of the Zoological park which it is proposed to es- tablish. In order to secure a preliminary valu- ation of the various parcels of land, the com- mission invite property-owners to submit to them in writing before May 1 at their office in the Smithsonian Institution a statement of the lowest price or prices which they will agree to sell their land together with a description of the land by metes and bounds, This notice ap- plies only to the owners of property between the crossings of Massachusetts avenue extended and Military road on Rock creek. Maryland and Virginia Postmasters. FACTIONAL FIGHTS IN THOSE STATES THE REASON WHY 80 FEW CHANGES ARE MADE. The few changes that have been made in the fourth-class_post-oftices in Maryland and Vir- ginia under the present administration have been the cause of considerable comment, The daily batch of changes contains post-offices from nearly all the states in the Union, but in the case of Maryland and Virginia only abso- lutely necessary appointments have been made, Aprominent Maryland politician, who was at the Post-Office department to-day, told a Star reporter that factional tights were the obstacles in the way of the Maryland appointments, “It is not the intention,” he continued, “to antagonize the republicans of the state by taking sides. Such a course would be apt to endanger the prospects of the party in the fall elections. There is a good fighting chance for the republicans to carry the legislature next fall and elect a United States Senator. What- ever changes in the offices are to be made, the harmony of the party in the state will be kept in view.” In Virginia it is said that there is a good deal of friction between the republicans, and Mr. Clarkson, the first assistant, is moving with caution, The St. Louis Election. HOW THE PROHIBITION QUESTION ENTERED INTO IT. Col. John McFall, chairman of the St. Louis executive committee, is in the city. Col. Me- Fall feels elated over the success of the entire city ticket at the late municipal election there, except the mayoralty, which was won by the democrats on a small majority, attributable to | the prohibition question, against which the democrat mayor-elect had decided while a judge on the bench. The three republican members of Congress from that city in the next House owe their election largely to the active chairman, Col. McFall is the guest of his son-in-law, Richard Sylvester, of this city.

DILEMMA, THE “TIMES’” Its Very Existence as a Newspaper Threaten Special Cable Dispatch to Tar EVENING STAR. Loxpox, April 8.—People are beginning seriously to question whether the Times will be able to survive the consequences of the Parnell case, At first this was thought a mere baga- telle, but now it gets some color from the fact which reaches me on the best authority that not one of the Times’ counsel has yet received asingle penny in fees, and that only the ex- sof witnesses have been paid. The ex- ‘ion is that the Times entered upon the commission business contident of an ultimate grant from the government; but the collapse of the letters alters the situation and a grant i out of the question. The Zines, therefore, has to face an unexpected expendi- ture of fifty thousand pounds of law expenses, lus another fifty thousand for libels. Of course Mr. Walter is a very rich man, and he may come to the rescue of his fellow proprietors; but the very exestence of the Tunes, us the Times, is now threatened, Sa The Birmingham Election.

Curcaco, April 8.—A dispatch from Kansas City, Kas., says: The officials of the Santa Fe raibroad were busy yesterday investigating the story that the boomers concealed in the woods of Oklahoma had banded together for the pur- pose of destroying the railroad bridges on the night of April 21, in order to obstruct the in- flax of homesteaders until the men concealed in the country could make perfect their claims, It appears that the boomers in hiding are des- perate, They have selected and watched their claims for years, and they now fear that the new-comers, with the assistance of rapid transit, may get ‘the best of them. ‘There was a meeting of these boomers held i the timber near Oklahoma . last Thursday and they canvassed the ituation. After the meeting adjourned the ‘anta Fe agent received notice thatthe bridges would be burned and the trains stopped on April 22, as the old boomers did not propose to jeopardize their chances by allowing a flood of tenderfeet todrop in on the land they had picked ont.

New York, April 8-11 a.m.—The reaction in the stock market begun Saturday extended into this morning, and the new week opened with a moderately active but weak market, first prices being from 3< to %{ per cent lower than Saturday's closing figues, Jersey Central showing the largest loss. Atchison, Missouri Pacitic, Union Pacific and Northwestern were the most active stocks, with a fair business in a half dozen others, while the general list was in dull and uninteresting, and the whole market toward the end of the hour became quiet and quite stagnant.

The press ure was then removed and the market re- mained stationary and without special feature for the remainder of the hour and at 11 o'clock it was quiet and steady, but generally at about the lowest prices reac A Light Sentence for Murder.

Bostos, April 8.—The release of Morrill and Wise to the Washington club has led many to suspect that Werd might come to Boston as a part of the deal, It is stated. however, on the authority of the Boston directors that such is not the case. Theré has been no deal of any nature which comprises a transfer of players between Boston, New York and Weshingtou. ‘The transaction as far as the Boston club is concerned was a bargain by itself, in which neither the president of the New York club nor Ward himself had any hand.

RAILROAD AGENTS PUZZLED. Twenty Years’? Methods Upset by the Interstate-Commerce Amendments. Cuicaco, April 8.—A local paper says: The agents of the railroad propeller lines are a badly puzzled lot of men these days. Their way of doing business for twenty vears has been upset by the amendments of interstate commerce law of March 2, and with the season upon them they know not what to do. have given ny were establishe through bills of lading to the seaboard and to Liverpool on the grain they carried. Th rates, lake and rail, as they were technically called, were on a sliding scale to correspond with the fluctuations in lake grain freights to Buffalo, With their advantages in giving through bills of lading, whereby shippers es- caped Buffalo charges, the propeller lines were always at an advantage over outside or tramp boats, They made rates to give their steamers cargoes, which varied from day to day, as lake grain freights happened to be. All this ts now changed. The amendments to the interstate commerce law provide that five days’ notice shall be given of reduction in through lake and rail rates, and ten days’ no- tice of an advance. The propeller agents are puzzled. If rates go down it will be five days before they can take grain on through ship- ment, because the shippers will, of course, all go to the outside boats and have the grain handled at Buffalo, If rates go up it will b ten days before the lines can profit by the vance, in that time enough freight will be forced on them to fill their boats fe month, Grain freghts dropped Friday and Saturday a half a cent, for instance. The lines cannot meet the drop for five days . but itis believed rates will go up to 3 8 800n as the fleet in port gets away. No notice of a drop has been given. Neither can a notice of an advance be given, because there is no telling for a certainty whether grain freights will go up or down. If they go up it will be ten days before the lines can advance their rates to meet the raise, and by that time the flurry will probably be over. The opinior revails among the agents that through bills of jading will have to be done away with; that they will give a fixed rail rate from Ogdens- burg and quote the ruling lake rate to that point. oo A Fire at Warrenton.
