Postmasters Christopher Affairs and This City Not an Exception. Columbus, in all the phases of his re- owned act of discovering America, 1s to ke given still another Washington audience. It may be his last appearance on the jocal Stage, but of that, it is hard to propnesy. Prophets are taking great chances in these days, anyhow. But it is true, nevertheless, that Wash- ington is to have a lot of Columbus tor a time. In fact, for four or tive days past it has been difficult to get anything but Co- | lumbus. Washington—that is, G. W., not Washington, D. C.—has been shelved for the time being by Christopher. There are thous- ands of the latter where there are not Scores of the former. | This’ is ail in reference to stamps. Last | Week the Postmaster General, as noted in The Star, issued’ an order to the effect that up to the last of the year the postmasters | of the country should be supplied with noth- | ing but the large Columbian stamps. ‘This affects’ Washington, of course, and today the stamp windows at the local branch of Mr. Bissell's enterprising emporium are shoving forth huge slices of American bis- tory at one cent apiece and upwards. At the city post office this morning it was ascertained that the department will within a day or two forward stamps enough to cover a requisition made some days ago to the extent of $115,000 worth of stamped | paper. Counting the wrappers and other stock on hand, by the time this requisition is filled, there will be between $165,000 and $170,000 worth of material on hand. ‘There are not many of the small red stamps in stock now; not enough, surely, to supply all | those who would really prefer them to the broadsides. So no effort will be made to | discriminate between the lovers of history and the admirers of small mucilaged sur- faces. ‘There are those in the post office who have heard people express decided preferences in favor of the Columbians, but they do not seem to be numerous. When these cases are related the persons who have given this choice are always named, | While the opponents to the Columbian stamps are alluded to as “others. it is evident that there has crept into the minds of the officials very little encouragement for this venture into history. Last year the business of the office, ex- clusive of the free matter passing to and from the government departments, which amounts to 73 per cent of the total, aggre- gated $504,000. This gives an average for the days of a little over $1,38% worth of business each day. Calculating that there will be in all something like $140,000 worth of the Columbiads on hand when the requi- sition arrives, including those in stock now, this should last upward of 100 days. So there is ample reason to believe that the populace of Washington that has the habit of writing to other people or whose duty it is to stamp the letters of other peo- ple, will be called upon to liquidate the broad surfaces of the Christophers for over three months to come, with no hope of re- lief*in the meantime. It is sad, but it is necessary, for the department finds itself at_the close of the year 1893 with over 165,000,000 stamps of this variety on its hands. No one can really blame the de- partment for wanting to begin the new year with a clear record—to turn over a new stamp, as it were. So it is turning over this very unpopular new stamp to the bostmasters cf the country in millions, and washing its hands of Columbus und his hirsute antics and his poses. It is starting out in 1804 with a clear conscience. At the stamp windows of the office there are many complaints to be heard as these slices of art are passed over the shelf. But when the folks learn that there are no pink Washingtons and that Kicking does no good they are prone to accept the drab Colum- biads and to wonder at the cruelty of the government. The trade just now is run- ning a little short of $1,500 a day, but this is heavy business, owing to the Christmas and New Year pressure, and It is expected that it will soon drop down to its normal level. Perhaps the onrush of the Colum- biads will cause it to take still a further drop. But there is no telling whether they will bull or bear the market. But Uncie Sam is getting 1, 2, 3 cents for his goods just the same. He has not cut his prices in the least, “owing to the gen- eral depression in trade,” as so many re- tailers are apt to do at present. He is car- rying on his business at the old stand, and he doesn’t give a snap of his fingers whether the dear public licks Washingtons or Columbuses, eaten COMMONERS HARD AT WORK. They Did Not Take a Holiday Yester- day as Usual. A most unusual cecurrence was the meet- ing yesterday of the British house of com- mons. In the memory of the oldest mem- bers, parliament has always adjourned over New Year day until yesterday, when, in- stead of enjoying a holiday, the house of commons was hard at work attempting to clear away some of the great mass of legis- lative business. The matter of the warship Resolution, which was damaged in a gale in the Bay of Biscay, and which is now at Devenport re- pairing, was again brought up in the house by Messrs. #owles and Forwood, who de- sired information as to the facts in the | case. Mr. Bowles asked if the admiralty could now state how many degrees the Resolution had rolled. He would also like to know whether she had roiled her rails under, how many feet of water was in the engine room, and if, during December 19 and 20, she was kept head to the sea because the attempt to bear up and rua back would have involved the risk of capsizing. Mr. Porwoed asked what coal the Resolu- tion had on board when she left port, and did the danger the ship was in justify her captain in returning. Sir James-Kay Shuttleworth, parliamen- | tary secretary of the admiralty, said that the captain’s report to the admii y was to the effect that he had put back to Queenstown in the exercise of his discre- tion. The main reason for his putting back | was his anxiety regarding his supply of | coal. The Resolution had 787 tons of coal in her bunkers when she started on her se. Running at the rate of ten knots an hour, she would have consumed 250 tons in fair weather between the point at which tion. No injury had been done to the struc- ture of the ship. ‘The secretary said that the statements as to the amount of water shipped were exag- gerated. The ship had been kept head on to in order to diminish her rolling. bert Hanbury, an independent c: ervative, asked: “Does the secretary to the zdmiralty think that it is to the pubile in- terest that he should not furnish the details in rezard to the Resolution?” This question was greeted with cheers by the conservatives, and the speaker was at pelled to call the house to order. so SHE WOULDN'T DIE WITH HIM.

President Carnot was occupied from 9:45 a.m. until 7 p.m. in listening to New Year {greetings and shaking hands. Among his callers were cabinet ministers, judges, gen- erals of the army and members of the sen- ate and chamber ‘of deputies. His arm ached badly from the constant hand-shak- ing. The president gave a large family din- ner in the evening, the company separating at midnight. Most of the Americans in Paris attended the reception given by Ambassador Eustis ‘in the afternoon. The reception rooms were tastefully decorated with palms, ca- mellias and evergreens. Many pretty tol- lettes were seen among the women present, that of Miss Eustis being especially no- Uceable. The buffet was kept busy supply- ing tea and other refreshments, egg-nog | being in special demand. Altogether, about 300 persons called to pay thelr respects. Among them were ex- ; Premier Dupuy, Vicomte de Deservillers, Comte d’Absac, Gen, de Cools, the majority of the fgreign diplomatic representatives in Paris, Jules Oppert, C. F. Winthrop, Wm. Seligman, Henry Vignaud, Col. Blanchard, Maj. and Mrs. Huntington, Messrs. Hoff- man, Penniman, Jay Vanbergen, Lazard, Mosler, Wentworth and Constano. Hun- dreds of other notables left cards. Mr. Eus- tis gave a family dinner in the evening. Congratulating King Humbert. A deputation from the chamber of depu- ties visited King Humbert of Italy yester- day and offered him New Year congratula- tions. The king, in reply, said he had full con- fidence in the accord betweén the govern- ment and chamber of deputies that was necessary to resolve the financial problems confronting the country and to ameliorate the economic situation. King Humbert added that happily he could affirm with cer- tainty that peace would be maintained, thus permitting the government }o dedi- fate its labors completely to internal af- ‘airs, Referring to the situation in Sicily, his majesty said he sorrowed because of the recent manifestations there, and hoped that the reforms the government was preparing Would appease the people of the island. How the Kaiser Celebrated. New Year day was celebrated at Berlin yesterday with all the pomp and ceremony that has heretofore marked the anniver- sary. All the government and municipal buildings were beflagged, while from the chapel of the Schloss the imperial standard and the flag of the Brandenbergers were displayed. At 8 o'clock in the morning the band of the second guards regiment played a musical reveille, and this was the signal for the opening of the day's festivitles. An artillery salute of 101 guns was fired from a battery facing the old castle. The emperor and empress held the usual court reception in the white hall of the old pal- ace. The first guests to arrive were mem- bers of the imperial family, who, in accord- ance with the custom, are always the first to wish their majesties a happy New Year. After them were received a long line of statesmen, generals and other notabilities, all of whom offered their congratulations. Outside the castle the massed bands of several regiments played selections during the progress of the reception. Mr. Theo- dore Runyon, the American ambassador, and Mrs. Runyon attended the reception, together with the other foreign representa- tives. At noon occurred the spectacle of the day, to witness which thousands of per- sons gathered in the vicinity of the castle. Emperor William, in the gorgeous uniform cf the “Great General,” followed by a long line of generals and adjutants, marched from the castle to the armory, where the governor and military commanders of the city, together with a host of military per- sonages, awaited his coming. The latter handed his majesty their reports and then after a military concert the watchword of the garrison was given out. After this ceremony the emperor gave a reception to the generals and tne armory officers and made a brief private address to them. Most of the officers yesterday wore gray cloaks that the emperor selected with a view to winter campaigns, as the color blends better with that of the snow than the dark cloaks formerly in use. The new cloaks look unbecoming. ———__+e+_____ MARY WASHINGTON'S MONUMENT. The Shaft is Erected, but More Money in Needed by the Association. The following appeal to the patriotic we- men of America has been issued by the National Mary Washington Monument As- sociation, of which Mrs. M. R.

This monument is the finest of its kind in the whole country. It is a single shaft, fifty feet high, with ap- propriate and artistic embellishments and inscriptions, and stands upon a rock rear Mary Washington's home at Fredericks- burg, Va., which, during the latter years of her life, was her favorite seat for reading and meditation, and where she directed that her grave be made. There her remains have reposed for over a century, with only the ruins of an unfinished monument—begun and abandoned fifty years ago—to mark the spot. The National Mary Washington Me norial Association was organized in ISX) to end this shameful neglect of the memory of one who is revered as the foremost of American ‘women. It has worked hard, collected mon- ey, and secured the erection of the mon- ument, which is the first instance in history of a monument erected by women to the memory of a woman. The association is in urgent need of more money to properly complete the work. Though the shaft has been erected, the last payment has yet to be provided for, as it was completed before the time contemplated, Money is also needed to fence, grade and otherwise put in proper order the plot of ground upon which the monument stands, and as an endowment fund for its future care. Altogether fully $15,000 is needed, and at once. There should be no ditticulty in raising this amount ff every one of the mil- lions of women who hold the name of the mother of George Washington in the highest honor svould testify to that feeling by the contribution of a small sum. ‘The object is so exceptionally worthy that every American woman should feel it a privilege to be identified with it. by a con- tribution proportionate to her means.

Nature beamed her brightest yesterday at San Francisco, and although the formal opening of the midwiter exposition has | been postponed for a few days, owing to} the delay in the arrival of many of the ex- hibits, and although there were no exer- cises of any kind to mark the day, the gates of the fair were besieged at 8 o'clock, the opening hour, by crowds of visitors and during the whole day they poured into the grounds in a steady stream. The scene was probably the most inter- esting that has ever been witnessed in Golden Gate Park. The magie city that has sprung into existence in the space of | but five months teems with animation and | enthusiasm and admiration prevailed. The stars and stripes float from the flagpole of every building on the ground and bunting and banners were to be seen | in all directions. The five main buildings were naturally the principal attraction and the crowds went in and out, evincing great interest in all that was displayed. The electric tower, nearing a height of 250 feet, and the Firth wheel, with its sixteen cars, were also features of attraction. The German tavern and several other places of refreshment were open, and these | also fared well. Informal as it was, the ex- position officials are much elated over the success attending the opening. Beginning the Undertaking. On the 24th of last August,in the presence of fully 80,000 people, the enterprise was in- augurated by turning the first shovelful of dirt, immediately after which the work of | grading commenced, followed in a few weeks | by the beginning of work on the five main structures. These are the administration, manufac- tures and liberal arts, agricultural and hor- tieultural, fine’ aris and mechanic arts | buildings, ail of which are grouped around a parallelogram, in the center of which is an electric tower over 250 feet in height, sev- eral artistically ornamental fountains, stat- uary and a Ith of palms, flowers’ and shrubs. This is known as the grand court. Many buildings surrounding the court and scattered In every direction over 160 acres are special buildings erected by the differ- ent states,counties and concessions (erected at the cost of the states, counties or indi- viduals) for their excluSive exhibits: The Manufactures Buildin; The manufactures and liberal arts build- ing is the largest ig the grounds. Its di- mensions are 462x237 feet, covering 101,784 | square feet of ground. This building: is Moorish in design, with picturesque effects which that style of architecture readily lends itself, There is a long array of ‘col- umns and arches, forming the arcade of the front of the building, which is elaborately ornamented. There are four great towers, one in each corner, ornamented, and with projecting flower balconies, covered with a low-domed, tiled roof. There is a main entrance in the center of the building and one in each of the towers, The exterior of the arcade across the front is decorated with symbolic figures of the various arts and sciences. Within the building there is | a gallery covering thirty-five feet in width, and extending around all four sides. The galleries are approached upon the, main tioor by five large stairways. The, mechanical arts building, second largest, is | @ atructure 450 feet long by 200 feet wide. it is nearly pure Indian in design, and highly artistic in its rich oriental ityle. The grand entrance in the center of the building, is rectangular in form, and is covered with rich decorations. Immediately in tf rear the building and separated from it by sif'fect of space is placed the boiler house, containing thirty boilers of 100 horse power each, which furnish power to operate the electric lights and the ma- chinery of the exposition. Horticultural Dispiny. The most striking architectural feature of the exposition is the horticultural and ag- ricultural building. It is in the Spanish mission style and is a low-roof design, so much in favor on this coast. The great dome is 100 feet in diameter by 100 feet in height, and around this dome on the out- side is a roof garden, The extreme di- mensions of the main building and annex are 400 feet in length by 190 feet in width, This structure contains the greatest dis- play of the products of the soil of Califor- nia ever put together, and that is synony- mous with saying that it is such a display of agricultural and horticultural material as the United States has never seen placed on exhibition. It is typically and almost exclusively Californian, and will afford vis- tors an opportunity of judging of the vast- ness and variety of California's resources such as no amount of travel and observa- Uon could gir The fine arts building is intended for permanent structure, con- structed of brick and i It is simple in plan, being a rectangle 12) feet long by 60 wide. The brick walls on the side are 40 feet high, and to the apex of the pyramid it is 81 feet. It is an example of Egyptian architecture, and the sculpture and col- umns are in harmony with it. The interior is arranged in two stories and representing the “stepped” ¢onstruc- tion of the pyramids. The administration | building,, which contains the offices of the’ exposition management, the department of | publicity and promotion, the foreign de- | partmient, assembly rooms for foreign com- | missioners, president headquarters, the post office and information bureau, is the small- est of the five principal buildings, but the form of structure is such that it is one of the most imposing. The design is oriental in outline, and in the detail of its ornamentations is undoubt- edly Siamese. It consists of a central square structure, covered with a lofty and highly ornamental dome, with four pavilions, one on each angle of the square. This building, like its namesake at the Columbian expo- sition, which faced the grand basin, is di- 'rectly in the rear of the allegorical foun- | tain. The State's History 1 me. In this the sculptor has tried to tell the | whole history of the state, and much can _be plainly read from its design. The fa- miliar statue of California, crowned with a wreath of poppies, stanés on a pedestal: whose rugged character suggested _ the | | mountain region. The principal central fig- | } ure is the eagle, emblematic of the state's loyalty to the nation. The California re- | sources and industries are represented in | the statuary. The cherubic figures are pressing grapes. Commerce and agricul- | {ture are appropriately portrayed, and at | ene side of the fountain is a group of min- ers. e central figure of the grand court is | the electric tower. On the ground floor is ‘a pavilion for the use of the public, and flanking the open space there are’ four | Moorish pavilions, containing four stories and decorate? in oriental colors. The | jof the tower occupies a space fifty square, while the first gallery, eighty f from the ground, has a seating capacity |of two hundred. There are three other gal- jleries of large seating capacity, the top- niost one being within six feet of the pin- 1s | nacle. | In this upper gallery is a great search- | light. and on the extreme top of the tower | a lar ball bearing the emblem of the | state, a grizzly bear. The counties of north- ‘ern California and those of the southern : portion of the state have their own dis- | tinctive buildings, and Oregon, Colorado | and Arizona have their exhibits housed in| separate structures. | Novel Features, \ The concessional features of the exposi- tion are, by far, numerous and interesting.

The Edgar Thomson Steel Works Will A scale. of wages has been decided upon between the rail straighteners and gaugers and the management at the Edgar Thom- son steel works at Braddock, Pa. ‘The plant will resume operations on Weanes- day. The scale of these workmen is de- cided upon the first of each year, and sev- eral settlements during the last week have preceded the final settlement yesteraay. The firm demanded a 40 per cent reduc- tion and required the gaugers and straight- eners to work twelve-hour turns. The straighteners resisted the terms pro- Posed so earnestly that they were only obliged to accept the reduction, and will not have the long hours. The gaugers, however, will work twelve hours a day hereafter. When the resumption is made the direct process of heating the blooms will be done away with, and the old pro- cess will be returned to. All the old heat- ers, suspended a year and a half ago, will be given their old positions again. After working on half time at this sea- son of the year since it was established the Hastings & Co. gold-leaf factory, which employs about 200 hands, will begin on full time next Monday. The employes were given their choice to continue along at their present rate, with a prospect of one-third time, or of going an full time at a reduction of 20 per cent in their wages.
