Changes to be Made in the Office of the First Assistant Postmaster General. The change in the quarters occupied by the clerks in the first assistant post- master general's office, as outlined in yes- terday’s Sra, will probably be followed by ®@ reorganization of the working force of the office. The details of the proposed changes have not been decided upon, as the Postmaster General and Mr. Clarkson have not had an opportunity of giving very much atten- tion to the matter. The large amount of work which devolves upon this office in connection with the post offices of the country and the rapid increase in the amount of this work during the ‘past few years has had the effect of making the system employed rather cum- brous, EQUALIZATION OF WORK NECESSARY. It has also had the effect of bringing about an unequal distribution of the work, so that some men have more to do than they can well attend to, It used to be that the chief clerk of the first assistant’s office gave his personal attention to the cases of presidential post offices. Now that work is done By clerk who has as- sistants and the chief clerk has a multitude of other details to attend to in connection with the cases of fourth-class post offices, The same may be said of the clerks in charge of the ious section desks. It is proposed to such an adjustment of the duties of the office as will relieve those who have too much to do and will at the same time facilitate the public business, A PERPLEXING PROBLEM. In connection with this reorganization a rather perplexing matter presents itself and that is to what extent the public will be allowed access to the scction clerks who have charge of the papers in the cases of post offices in the various states, Darin; he sessions § of Congress especially e time of these clerks = is largely taken up by interviews with Senators, Representatives and others interested in the appointment of post- masters, ‘The first assistant, Mr. Clarkson, and the chief clerk, Mr. Fowler, are also viewed and the question arises whether it is necessary to have this chain of interviews ex- on through the entire clerical force of the office, IT 18 PROPOSED to close the doors to the rooms of the clerks and limit the personal efforts of office seekers and their friends to Mr. Clurkson and Mr. Fowler. Whether such a plan will be carried out or not has not yet been decided It is thought that members of Congress will make a decided “kick” at such an abridgement of their privileges, but on tbe other hand the plea of the public interests and a more efiicient serv- ice can be set u Congressmen Arriving.

Tonight all the markets, with the exception of the Center market, will be open for business, and tomorrow the markets will be open until ll o'clock. There appeared to be a great many turkeys in market this morning, although some of the dealers said that the fowls were scarce, the result of so much wet weather. The countrymen say that the wet weather killed off more than half their fowls. One of them stated that out of eighty-five young fowls he only had twenty-three to bring to market, Early this morning turkeys were selling as low as fourteen cents, but later in the day the price increased and they sold as high as eighteen cents per pound, It isthe opinion of many dealers that turkeys will be bigher to- morrow, although they say that there may be some large shipments received here tonight or in the morning. Game is pienty, although market men aa; there is no oversuppiy. Ducks, geese, quail and woodcock are very abundant, d can- vas backs readily bring #5 a pair andred heads can be had for $2.50.

The Sportsmen Preparing to Have a be ¢ Great Time Tomorrow. ‘The bifds and other small game today enjoy- ing a moderate degree of freedom and security in the woods and fields near Washington will not know where to hide tomorrow from the army of men and boys that will be after them with fire arms of every description. It is on Thanksgiving day above all other days in the year that the woods are frequented by sports- men, and tomorrow 'it is likely that there will be a gunner to every rabbit within ten miles of the city. For the past week or two fire arme have been undergoing repair or cleaning and bunting dogs have been given the needed exercise to reduce their flesh. Along the lines Wberailroad most of the farms are posted gponers off them, while along both ore and Ohio lines and the Baltimore and Potomac there are many villages and the residents manage to kill or scare off most of the game. In Virginia it is different. The farms there are not so generally posted und gunners get more encouragement from the farmers than they doin Maryland, On the Alexandria and Fredericksburg railroad there are many places where gunnersare welcomed and provided for at small cost, and the country not being so thickly settled there is more game. Then, again, the gunners say that in Virginia they have the freedom of the country more than they do in Maryland, NEVER MIND THE WEATHER. The weather indications this morning were against the sportsmen, but then there are not many gunners who will stay at home on that Many will leave town this evening naturally expect the weather to be htomorrow, and if it isn't it will not mat- ter much, A little boy who wants to go gu ning said that he wished it would rain tomor- row, Asked why so, he said that if it rains the birds will be wet and will have to sit in the trees. They will not be able to fly away and there will bea better chance to get a bag full of them. —_~>__—_. TESTING THE MILITIA LAW, Prosecution of Members for Alleged Retention of Uniforms, Etc.
