Some New Features in the Appropria- tion Bill Just Completed. The bill making provision. for the ex- penses of thé foStal service for the fiscal yeir 1807 has been completed by the sub- post office committee having it in charge. A feature of legislation has been incorpo- rated in the bill by which appropriations coming under general heads of the service are segregated, so that the amounts al- lowed shall be expended for the purpose for which they are specifically designated. This is in lieu of providing for these heads in 1 Ivmp sum. For letter carriers’ sala- ties the bill appropriates $12,251,200; for ho-se hire allowance, $130,000, Under the head of wagon and star service the appro- priations include, among others, the fol- lowing: Screen and other wagon service, $09,000, and for rice, $5,854,000, The sum of $150,000 is appropriated for electric and cable car service. In the of- fice of the fourth assistant postmaster general the Inspectors’ force is increased by thirty. This is in lieu cf any provision fer the employment of special agents. The per diem allowance for inspectors is re- duced from $4 to $%, and the amount saved thereby will be set aside as a fund to draw on to pay expenses of inspectors when en- guged in delicate and complicated work Tequiring the expenditure of a greater amount than the per diem allowed.

Yesterday, as I cabled you, Herr Richter startled the reichstaz with a scathing de- nunciation of Carl Peters, the veteran Afri- ean explorer, who was called an incompe- tent oilleer and an impertinent busybody.

HE EXPECTS TO WIN|,, Peter Maher Confident of Whipping Fitzsimmons. x READY FCR THE BIG FIGHT TOHORROW | Basket Ball in’ the Carroll Institute Gymnasium. GENERAL SPORTING NOTES EL PASO, Texas, February 20.—Peter Maher came in from Las Cruces this morn- ing to be in readiness to start for the bat- tle grouad at any time within the next twenty-four hours. He was accompanied by Jim Hall, Jimmy Conners and several others, who will assist him at the vingside. The usual guard of Texas Rangers was also on the train keep- ing close watch on Maher's movements. A large crowd grected the party at the depot, and Maher had considerable diffi- culty ia working his way through to the carrisge which Buek Connelly had in waiting for him. He walked quickly and with a free, swinging stride, showing that he was in fair condition at least. A pair ef goggles covered his eyes from the bright light of the sun, but he seemed to use them without ir convenience. “My eyes are much better,” he said, “and I am going to do the best I can when I get into the ring. I wish I could have had better luck in preparing for the fight. It really seems as if everything had been against me in trai ig, but that is one of pe things a man must take chances on in business. I certainly expect to win from Fitzsimmons, and I am going right at him from the first sound of the gong. I don’t think the fignt will be a long one in eny event. I will win in five rounds or less. ‘They tell me Fitzsimmons is in good shape, and I am glad of that. It will be all the more to my credit if I win. I see that Corbett says he will challenge the winner. I will give him a chance as quickly as he wants it, the sooner the better.” BASKET BALL.

AT THE FAIR. Hebrew Bazaar Visitors. Everybody was unusually good-natured last evening at the Hebrew.Fair.

Why should it not be so to- day? We are the same people, should be in- spired by the same degree of patriotism, and it appears to your correspondent that it would need but a small effort to revive the glorious custom of the past. It js, therefore, suggested that you remind the people that next Saturday is the natal day of Weshington, and that they should “hang out their banners” and contribute in every patriotic way possible to honcr the occa- sion. Let every flag in Washington he dis- played, not only on the public bu’ and school houses, but on every lib: ing home in our city.

It was also urged that the freshman races be rowed at New London, and that the four races would con- stitute an aquatic display never equaled in this country, and rivaling the royal re- gatta at Henley, England. The proposition has fallen flat. Rowing men, ‘hout exception, oppose the sugi tion, which is claimed to be inspired by Yale influence, presumably ‘‘Bob” Cook, an influential stockholder in the Philadelphia "ress. A college man, who has followed boating natters for years, says: “T'wo courses are being considered for the big college race, Saratoga Lake and the Hudson at Poughkeepsie. The objection to the former is that, like all the central New York lakes, it is likely to become - too rough for rowing, and that the accom- modations for, viewing the race are poor. The objection to the Poughkeepsie course is the annoyance by river traffic and the excursion steamers. Last year Pennsyl- vanla’s crew was swamped, and Cornell's boat sunk just after crossing the line. “But it is claimed that either course may be made comparatively unobjectionable by proper regulations. College regattas were rowed on Saratoga Lake up to 1877 for ars without serious interruption caused by s Thirteen crews drew ‘up in line, is a "Varsity and single scull races were rowed.

The affair will be held Saturday night, ana 240 players are slated to take part.

No effort is made to have inter-city playing. In fact, the idea is just the opposite. The name of each contesting player will be written on a card. These cards are thrown into a hat and shufited. The cards are then drawn out by fours, and each four is assigned into a team, which is numbered, and has no reference to the city from which came the players.

Arrangements Completed for Satur- day Night’s Celebratio The committees in charge of the cele- bration of the fortieth anniversary of the birth of the national republican party have completed their arrangements. The gen- eral program decided upon was reported last night by the committee of arrange- ments at a meeting of the Union Republi- can. Club, under whose auspices the cele- bration Is to take place. The event to be commemorated is the holding of the first convention of a national character in the history of the republican party. This con- Yenticn met in the city of Pittsburg, Feb- ruary 22, 1856, and made the preliminary arrangements for holding the presidential convention that met ir. June of the samme year in Philadelpria and+ nominated Fre- mont. So it is claimed that the forticth anniversary of the birth of the party as a rational organization occurs Saturday, and it is held to he especially appropriate that the anniversary should he cclebrated in Washington, because the Pittsburg conven- tion was arranged for in this city by the active members of the old reoublican club then In existence. The celebration will be held Saturday evening in the Center Mar- ket Hall. Mr. Thomas J. Lasier, president of the Union Republican Club, will call jhe meeting to order and invite Mr. A. M. Clapp to preside over the evening's excr- cises. Mr. Clapp and Mr. Lewis Clephane have the distinction of being probably the only surviving members of the Pittsburg convention. The following have accepted invitations to address the meeting: Senators Hawley, Cullom and Perkins, and Rep- resentatives Boutelle, Cousins, Brumm, Sherman and Towne. The invocation is to be delivered by Rev. Dr. George H. Corey. During the evening appropriate music will be played by a band. Mr. John A. Joyce has written a poem fcr the oc- casion. Invitations have been sent out to many of the republicans of the city to attend. Those who have received invita- tions have the privilege of inviting as many of their friends as they may desire.
