Acting Secretary Ramsay has issued the following order in regard to the Grand Army encampment at Pittsburg: Application has been made to the depart- ment in behalf of employes at navy yards and naval stations who ere members of the Grand Army of the Republic for leave of absence to enable them to attend the an- nual national encampment at Pittsburg, Pa. which commences about the Lith proximo. The department deems it necessary to issue the following instructions on the sub- ject, viz: Section 1545, R. S., prevents the depart- ment from granting leave of absence with pay to per diem employes at navy yards and naval stations, but such employes upon written application to the commandant will be permitted to absent themselves from the respective navy yards or naval sta- tions, for the purpose above stated, with- out loss of their positions at the yard, pro- vided their services can be spared and they promptly report and resume work upon their return. Saiaried employes, who are members of the G. A.

Arrangements have finally been made by the Nevy Department for the return of the Columbian exhibits, kindly loaned by the owners in Italy and Spain. These articles include the extremely valuable collection of Columbian relics beionging to the Vatican and the autograph letters belongiug to the Duke of Veragus and the Duchess of Ber- wick-Alba. The government of the United States borrowed them for exhibition at the worli’s Columbian exposition, under ex- press authority of Congress and with the distinct understanding that they should be carefully preserved and protected while in this country, and should be returned to Burope in a man-of-war after the close of the exposition. Since October last these ex- hibits have been kept in vaults and private rooms in the State Department. Mgr. Sa- tolil, the papal legate; Archbishop Ireland, Archbishop Keane, Dr. O'Gorman of the Catholic University and Mr. Wm. J. Ona- han of Chicago have repeatedly called the aitention of the Secretary of State to the fact that the Vatican is becoming extreme- ly sclicitous for the return of its exhibit. The delay on the part of this government in this matter is due entirely to the fact that it has not been able to secure a war vessel for that purpose since the close of the exposition. The vessel finally selected for that service is the gunboat Machias, which recently underwent the singular operation of being divided and iengthened fourteen feet in order to insure its per- fect seaworthiness. This vessel is now at the New York navy yard and will be put in commission on the 15th proximo. All the officers who have been selected for duty on her have been ordered to report on the date ramed. Commander Houston, who has been ordered to command the Machias, has been informed that he will be expected to take charge of these foreign Colum- bian exhibits, and to see that they are safely delivered into the hands of the prop- erty custodians. It will take at least two weeks after the vessel is in commission to complete her outfit and to transfer these exhibits from the State Department at Washington. Therefore it is not likely that the gunboat will leave New York before the Ist of October. The Machias is des- tined for permanent duty on the Asiatic station, where her light draught will make her particularly useful in navigating inte- rior rivers. She will make the long cruise to China by way of the Mediterranean sea and the Suez canal, and the conveyance of the Columbian exhibits to Spain and Italy ‘s only en incident of her voyage. THE WAGON STAND. Efforts to Improve the Neighborhood of 7th and K Streets. Inspector Welch of the health office has forwarded to the Commissioners the follow- ing special report relative to an inspection of the wagon stand situated on the south side of K street east of the corner of 7th street northwest. “Its surface is paved with Belgian block and is in good repair. Necessarily from the standing of such a large number of teams the droppings are very large, and these are removed once a day. Unavoidably, however, a certain portion finds its way into the gutters, and because of the abrence of storm water traps in this locality it is distributed aicng the streets, viz., K street west of 6th street, between Massachusetts avenue and K street, and is not disposed of until it reaches the storm trap at the north- west corner of Massachusetts avenue and 6th street. Men occupied in this manner of obiaining a living are no longer licensed by the government, and it would be an insig- nificant deraand to require each individual to pay a small sum per week, to be ex- pended in compensating some one appointed by the street sweeping department, and by said department being held responsible for & proper performance of his duty, thereby obtaining a uniform good keeping of the wagon stand. With the necessary storm water facilities and some one responsible for the keeping of the street thus occupied, and under proper jurisdiction, I believe that the cause for compiaint will be in a great measure removed. “The existence of such a convenience is a public necessity, and I Khow of no other place in this locality better adapted for the use—payed expressly for the purpose and comparatively isolated from a resident sec- uon. “Similar complaints have been previously made, and invariably reports have been made favorable to a continuance of the stand at this point, and, again, this stand has been in existence for the past thirty years. The health officer recommends additional drainage facilities and the cleaning of the stand daily by those occupying it. —_—>_— COLORED INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. Dedication of the Bullding at Manas- sas, Va., on Labor Day. The Manassas Industrial School for Col- ored Youth, the erection of which is largely due to the ambition and determination of the colored population of the historic Bull Run district, will be dedicated on Monday, September 3, which is Labor day—a day, in the opinion of those interested, most ap- propriate for such @ ceremony. As it js a holiday it will be a convenient time for those who wish to attend from this city and elsewhere. Prof. H. P. Montgomery, vice president of the board, will preside, in the absence of the president, Rev. Rush R. Shippen of this city, who is traveling in Burope. Fred- erick Dougiass will deliver the oration, and other prominent speakers will make short addresses. One of the most in features of the dedication exercises the raising of an American flag Dean, the colored woman who is inator of this movement. The fiag the largest that floats in Prince W county, and is the gift of Miss J: ‘Thompson of Fauquier, who has strong friend to the colored race in educational movement. Miss Jennie Dean, to whose intelligen: and persistent efforts the success of this work is mainly due, is a woman of re- markable executive ability. Born a slave the famous Henry House, thirty-six years ago, she now owns her home of fifty acres near Sudiey Springs, paid for by her own earnings.
