Its Remurkeble Record as Shown by a Hydrographic Office Chart. The chart of the North Atlantic ocean just issued by the hydrographic office re- cords a most remarkable drift of a whis- tling buoy. This buoy broke from its moorings off Martha's Vineyard just one year ago, and started southward, since which time it has been twice reported. Its total drift was a little over 4,000 miles. It was first reported February 2 last, 500 miles due east of Bermuda,where it struck a southwesterly current that set it toward the Haytien coast, and on July 7. when last re- ported, it was rapidly making its way to- ward this island, and unless it strikes the gulf stream and is swung around and sent north again will probably next be heard from at some of the eastern islands of the Windward group. ——___~+e+-—____. Now Chief of Division. Mr. Newton Ferree of Steubenville, Ohio, for many years a clerk in the office of the register of the treasury, has been oro- moted to the position of chief of the note, coupon and currency division in that office. According, to all rules of the civil service this promotion was deserved and is a gen- eral recognition of the merit system, as Mr. Ferree has through a long period of faithful service risen through the various grades to his present position. He as- sumed his new duties this morning, and the occasion was marked by a fine display of fruits and flowers, tendered by his asso- ciates in office as a mark of their esteem. —__—_+e-_-___ Interpreting the Uniform Order. Acting Secretary Meikeljohn of the War Department has written a letter giving ad- ditional interpretation to the rule govern- ing the wearing of uniforms by ex-volun- teer officers. “While this department,” he says, “has no authority under the law to prescribe the uniform that shall be worn by ex-officers of volunteers who are not now in the military service of the United States, the department is of the opinion that any such officer may properly wear the uniform now prescribed for an officer of the army of a grade equal to the highest grade held by the ex-volunteer officer by brevet or other commission, except that the number of a regiment or the device of a staff corps or department should not be worn in any case. “It is deemed proper to remark, however, that there is nothing in the laws of the United States to prevent an ex-officer of volunteers, who is not now in the army, from wearing the uniform that was pre- scrtbed forthe army at the time he was in the volunteer service, and the department is of the opinion that he would be entitled to wear such a uniform, if he should choose to. do so, on the occasions 5; in sec- tion 1226 of the Revised Statutes.” “Want” ads. in The Star pay because they bring answers. YUKON MAIL FACILITIES] JUDGE JACKSON'S DECISION Uncle Sam Will Attend to Letters for Gold | His Exposition of the Broad Scope of the Diggers. Contracts Made for Transportation of Pouches a Means to Accommo- date American Proxpectors. It will be cf interest to know that there are post office facilities for the gold fields of Alaska. and the Northwest territory, for many pers: ns have started for that region and their friends will naturally be anxious to hear from them. Additional contrac for the delivery of mail have been made by the Post Office Department in view of the influx of Americans there. Since July 1 contracts for mail over what is known is “the overland route” from Juneau to Circle City have been made by the departmeat. * round trip over the Chilkoot Pass and by way of the chain ot lakes and the Lewes river takes about month, the distance being about 900 miles The department has just been notified by the contractor's agent that three carriers will start from Juneau Juiy 12. Another party: will start August 1, and there will be a party to leave regularly on the first ot each month thereafter. The cost is about $000 for the round trip. The Chilkoot lass is crossed with the mail by means of 1 dian carriers. On the previous trips the carriers after finishing the pass built their beats, but they row have their own to pass the lakes and the Lewes river. Deg Sleds in Winter. In the winter transportation is carried on by mes of dog sle and it hoped that under the present contracis there will be no stoppage, no matter how low the tem- perature may go. The centractor his ported that he was sending a boat, in sei tions, by way of St. Michael, up the Yukon river, to v2 used cn the waterway of the route, and it is thought much time will be saved by this, as in former times it -necessary for the carriers to stop and build boats or reits to pass the lakes. In addition to th for the summer = son contracts have been made with two steamboat companies for two trips from Seattle to St. Michael, and three trom there to Seattle. When the steamers r St. Michael, the mail will be trans! from the steamers to the flat-bottomed beats runring up the Yukon as far as Cirele City. It is believed the boats now run further up. The contracts for the overland route call fer only first-class matter, whereas the steamers fi: the summer season = carry rything tp to five tons a trip. cts from the official report ot the second assistant postmaster general for the fi year ending June 1, 1895, will prove of interest. Under date of September 23, 1896, Contractor Beddoe wrote to the tment concerning the trio to ¢ 5 the establishment of that post office having been authorized March 19, 1846: Contractor's Story. He says: “I have just returned from my first round trip through to Circle City with the United States mail, under contract route No. 75105 and ip accordance with your instructions, corrolorating those received through the superintendent of the Pacific coast, at Seattle, I delivered the return mail from Circle City to the postmaster at Seattle ani accompanied to Juneau such mail as re- mained for that point. “I have already delivered (or have en route) the mail for June, July, August and September. It will be impossible for any any other ma‘! to leave here until spring, outside of the winter contract. “If you were familiar with the conditions which obtain in the Yukon you would be in a better position to regulate the dates of departure and arrival for said service. For instance, I left this point on June 10 for Dyea; for sixteen hours it was impos- sible to land owing to storms, and as the landing is made in small boats, the cond!- tions must be favorable. I took with me sufficient lumber to build two boats; the ones I had already built could not be taken over the summit in consequence of exces- sive snow storms. Upon my arrival at the base of the summit the Indian packers re- fused to go over with the lumber. I was compelled to abandon it there, having paid $67.50 for packing it. The packing of sup- plies, etc., cost $320 additional. However, I pushed on and upon arriving at Lake Lin- derman, a distance of thirty miles, I built raft, there being no lumber in that local- ity, and upon this raft we journeyed to Lake Bennett, where we found sufficient lumber to build a boat. A start was made in five days after arrival, although the lum- ber had to be cut from the trees, and from there on we traveled day and night until our destination, Circle City reached and the mails del in good order. “The question now was to get the return mail to Juneau the quickest moment. It was impossible to start up the river in consequence of the rapid water, the current averaging cight miles an hour for 500 miles. If 1 remained in Circle City until July 30 it would probably take forty-five days to pole the boat up the river. I therefore decided to go on down to St. Michaels and come qui through Bering sea. I was fortunate in getting there in time for the steamship Portland, which sailed from that point to Seattle, via Unalaska- ) miles. At Se- attle I took the Alki and reached her in due course, having traveled 0) miles in addition to the regular trip, and saving thereby over a month of time in the de- livery of the return mail: and I owe it to myself to say that I was the last man into the Yukon and the first one out this sea~ son, which is evidence that no unnecessary delay occurred. “This Yukon trip is a terrible one, the current of the river even attaining ten miles an hour. Miles Canyon is a veritable death trap into which one is likely to be drawn without notice, and the White Horse rapids, known as the miners’ grave, to say nothing of the Five Finger and Rink rap- ids, both of which are very dangerous. All of these dangers are aggravated by re: sen of the defective maps and reports of the country. Reftection of River's Course. “It is my intention to submit to the Ge- partment a map with many corrections, although in the absence of a proper survey it will necessarily be only an approximate reflection of the river's course. You are probably not aware that for a distance of 150 miles, commencing at Circle City, and going north, the river is fifty miles between banks, and contains thousands of islands, very few of which appear on any map. “It is impossible to perform this mail ecntract without having at least three par- ties fully equipped, the distance being so great and it being out of the question for the first party to return in time to depari with the succeeding mail, and the expense of each will be about the same. I shall have made four round trips by the end of this month. The last mail in should arrive at Circle City in one week from now. The return mails I am looking for daily. At the erd of this month the north end of the Yukon river will freeze anil the ice will gradually form to the south, and the same, as a waterway, will become impassable and remain so until midwinter. “Circle City is a place of 1,800 people, ard from careful ingviry I am told that tkis winter there will be $1,000,000 of gold dust the»@, and yet, when I left, the only government official in the town was the postmaster, and. when one conziders that town lots are selling for $2,000 each, it is a wonder to me that there are no complica- tions.” i SS Public Debt Statement. The public debt, less cash in the treas- ury, at the close of business;-July 31, was $993,446,646, an increase during the month of $6,790,560, which is accounted for by a corresponding @ecrease in the cash in the tréasury. This decrease is in conseqrence of exceptionally heavy disbursements. ‘The debt, independent of the cash, was de- creased by $330,610. The . total an equel amount of cash in the treasury. The cash is classified as follows: Gold, $178,044,577; silver, $521.734,139; paper, $149,420,392; bonds, disbursing officers’ bal- ances, etc., $18,753,822; total, $867,061.932; against which there are demand liabilities outstanding amounting to _ 9634,935,476, which leaves the net cash balance in treasury, $233,01G456.- Civil Service Law.

John P. Green, a colcred lawyer of con- siderable reputation in Ohio, was yesterday appointed stamp agent for the United States by Acting Pcstmaster General Mer- ritt. The position was never before filled by a colored man. Mr. Green took charge of his office yesterday, it being temporarily located at 918 F street. He is about fifty- two years of age, light in color, and well educated. He was a member of the state senate of Ohio. from Cuyahoga county, and it is said that he was the only colored man who sat in the senate of a northern state. Mr. Green is an orator, and is a politician of influence among bis own The appointment was a personal one of Mr. McKinley's. The position pays $2.50 a year. Mr. Green will have under him a fore of eight white persons, and he will probably make no change, as U2. all protected by the civil service rule a VERMONT'S STATE MILITIA. The President Will Imapect the Sol- diers and Regulars. Orders have been given for federal troops to take part in the encampment of the Vermont state militia at Chester, Vt. Pres- ident McKinley has promised to vi: this camp and inspect the soldiers, and the reg- ulars will Le present on that occasion. The federal troops will make a practice march, beginning this week, and will arrive at Chester and remain there from August 9 to 14. The troops ordered out are the band and Troops C, E and G of the 3d Cavalry, stationed at Fort Ethan Allen, and Com- panies E and F, 23d Infantry, statione’ at Piattsburg barracks, with one Gathng gun. Col. Guy V. Henry will command all United States troops. —__-». Revenue Cutter Cadets. Seven young men will be appointed dets in the revenue cutter service dw the present week as the result of a recent ccmpetitive examination. They will be sent aboard the revenue practice ship Chase, at Baltimore, and accompany the senior class, new attached to that ship, on a cruise to Europe, returning to the United States by way of the West Indies. There are now a number of vacancies in the grade of th'rd Neutenant of the service, which will be filled when these cadets have graduated. The course prescribed by the treasury covers « period of two years on the Chase, after which cadets are commissioned and assign- ed to cutters The head of the service says no more cadets will be appointed for some time, as few vacancies are expected to oc- cur in the next two years. ———__—_-e-—_____ Enlisted Strength of the Army. According, to officers of the War Dcpart- ment. the present enlisted strength of the army is now nearly up to the full number allowed by law and can be easily maintain- ed without any unusual activity on the pert of the recruiting officers. The material now secured is of a higher standard than the army has ever had, and owing to the regu- lations designed for the comfort. and hap- piness of enlisted men, the department pre- dicts that this year will show fewer descr- tions than for some time past. ——————— Consular Records Searched. The Secretary of State has been In cor- respondence for several months with the government of Peru respecting an alleged violation of one of our consular agencies at Piura in that country. It appears that during the seizure of the goods of the con- sular agent, a feed official who has been for many years a merchant in the place, some of the consular records were searched. That, at least, is the story of the consular agent, while on the other hand the Peru- vian state officials who served the writ deny that the papers were molested. The department is now endeavoring to ascer-
