Bids were recently opened for_the stone work on the postoffic at Peoris, Ilii- nois. Messrs, Brainard &, Roe, of Joliet ILL, wero the lowest kidders. A protest waa filed against their being awarded the contract on e ground that they were contractors for labor at the Tilinois state prison and would employ convict labor on the postoffics, The matter was reforred to Solicitor McCue, who gave the opinion that the department should not be expected to dictate the means by which contractors perform their work, and that he did not_believe the protest a valid one. Secrotary Manning has sustained the solicitor and the contract will be awarded to Brainard & company, The patent office to-day issued 122 patents, ourtoen designs, twenty-four trademarks, wenty labels, and five reissues, Thirty pat- onts wore awarded to citizens of foreign countries, Of the domestic patents issued New York secured eighty-eight; Pennsylva- uiny sixty-threo; Massachusetts, forty-three, nd Illinois forty-two.

Subsequent inquiry developed tho that the 1sauo in quoe- tion was regularly authorized by an act of June 30, 1804, which was made continuous and probably ~accounted for the &= pographical error in the date of the note in stion, The noto wes redeemed, the price fact 3 quarrel befween the ‘mem- 1 of school trustees of the city investigation by District Com- 1xissioner West for neveral days, Charges no cas sorious than * falsitication of teachers’ way rolls and diversion of public moneys into wsuthorized cheunels,” were cmong the items in an_ indictment brought By ona trustee against another, thouzh _there appears to have been no intimation in any quarter that the porsonal gain of trustee was among the motives for any of alleged irregu- larities.

In his opinion, the stioiney general held that in the abzence of government, and proposes to terminate them upon notice in cases where it appears proper for him to do so, A dispatch was received at the interior de- artment to-day from the Indian agent at Indian territory, asking that more tmur be sent to thst post to be in read.

Darham, after consulting with the secretary of the treasury, has decided not to honor at_this time unless some better reason for 8o doing than now appears is given. The appropria: tion for the whole year is only $395,000, and the comptroller holds that the = sum asked for 1 very large to be drawn on the first seven days of the year. Moreover, he says it does not appear that therais any rea- eon for drawing any money at all at this time, The comptroller thinks that the sum could scarcely be due after three days work, and if the work was done bafore July first it cannot be paid for out of this appropria- tion.

There was a steady opening. duetoa decrease of half a million bushels in the visible supply, but the offerings coon became very large and the pre- valling temper of the market extremely bear- Ish. Large lines of wheat were thrown onto the market and the weakness appeared very marked. The bears hammered prices vigor- ously, offering 50,000 and 10,000 lots, under which the August option touched S73c several times, while cash No. 2 spring wheat at one time was nominally 85}c, Timid holders dis. played numerous evidences of their fright, and threw their holdings overboard, The occasion of all this alarm was not exactly apparent, and it was gener ally ascribed to an orga bear raid without any especially depressing news of any kind at hand, About noon trade turned slightly and, with a greater number of outside buying oiders and bad news from the harvesting _sections, prices began to rally slightly. The market gradually began to dis- play such strength that the shorts became alarmed and buying gradually becams general.

They say they have had two settlements with the state, in each of which thoy greatly reduced their just claims, and the ooly return thes o received is a denial of their rights unx such abuse as ia bestowed upon a pickpocket, Royall believes that if the fatal policy that has been adhered to, of war upon bond- holders, were changed into a pacific_policy, consultation and friendly negotiations, tome adjustment could be arrived at, but so long as the authorities of the state maintain their attitude of defiance and vpillage, the state will get deeper and deeper into the mire, The state creditors are determined to test to its final conclusion the question whether the institutions of this country are equal to sustaining themselyes, “It makes a Virginian ng his head in eaid Mr, Royall, “to see how this state is thought of in England, It is enough to kill any measure dead 1n London to let the mm.w of Virginia appear to be connected with it.” — AN IRISH RALLY, RECEPTION AND SPEECH OF JOHN DILLON DUBLIN.

REFORM'S BOIL. Prospective Removal of @ Tamor on 'he Neck of Civil Service, High and Mighty Physicians Sit on the Oase of Hiegins, Manuing in a Good Positlon to Get ‘Whipsawed in the Action He Shall Take, THE MACKIN OF THE TREASURY, SCHEMES ON FOOT TO DRIVE HIGG! oFricR, Special Telegram to the B, Neew Yok, July 7.—The Tribune Wash- ington specinl says: Tt was stated last might that the resignation of Appointment Clerk Higgins would shortly be called for, The basis for this statemont seems to be the fact that Higgina was sent for by the president to-day and after spending about half an hour at the white house, was seen to go away ap- parently much subdued in manner. Thers has boen an impression atloat for some time that Secretary Manning had_como to recog- nize the presence of Higgme in the treasury departmont as too great a load for the administration to carry, The fact that Gormen was Higeins backer, seemed to demand cart/n, It would not do to offend him. On the other hand Manning did not wish to discharge him (Hggine) without cause, He is in the do- partment. He is represented as arguing and ae long a8 he behaves himself, attends to busi- ness and thern is no complaint made ahout him, he shall remain. Secretly, though, Mannivg is believed to have wished for an op- portunity to arise which would justify Hig- a‘lnn' discharge 1 tho eyes of Senator G:orman, ho Keller caso eccmed to present the mu wished opportumty, The difficulty here was, however, that if Higging merited dis- miseal, Firet Auditor Chenowith de- served it as much, and perhaps more so. To that extent Manning was not prepared to go. 1f he dismissed IHiggins alone, or dis~ missed him without assignig any reason other than this act, he would undoubtedly make & martyr out of Higgins in tho oyes of the spoils democracy, It would also aisgust and estrange from the administration many southern democrats. A solution of the diffi- culty it is hinted 1s found in the transfer of Higgins to some other field of usefulness, Be- tween this and outright dismissal Manning is believed to hesitate now. The most curious phase of the whole business is the evident - desire of the administration to find some scapegont on whom to throw the sins and omissions of its members, Higgins is thought to possess many disagree— able traits, Heis ho worsein his expressions and demobstrations of partisanship than is either Senator Gorman or Judge Chenowith. His energy and business-like habits have been commented on by those who are now so anxious to demonstrate to the public that his appointment was forced upon them and that they recognize in it one conspicuous mistake of Cleveland’s administration, WasHINGTON, July 7.~ First Auditor Ohenow said to-day in speaking of the Kellar case that the news- ers were wrong in blaming Appointment Slerk Higgins for the original rejection of Kellar, atter he had been regularly certified for appointment by the civil service commis- sioper, All that Higgins had to do with the case was to introduce Kellar to him. The first auditor said that he wanted it understood that he alone was responsible for what Lad been done in the oase. s 0UT OF e eT—— Ohinese Lanainig in Armies, 8ax Fraxcisco, Cal., July 7.—The Bulle— tin this evening prints a statement that 6,700 Chiness landed here from August I, 1882, when the restriction act went into effect, to July 6, 1884, when the amended restiiction act” passed, From the latter date until July 6, 1885, over 8,100 Chinese landed, or fourteen more in one year under the amended act than duriug the twenty-three months under the original act, This the Bu!— letin accounts for by the increase of fraudu- lently obtained certificutes, ——— Saivation Behind Bars, Wiiks Bannk, Pa, July 7.—The four leading mon of the Salvation Arny arrested at Plymouth were to-day cach fined two dol- Jars wnd costs and the magistrate said he would continue to do likewiso unless they abandoned noisy parades through ths streets, 'he Salvationists refusad to pay fines and committed to juil for five days, St A Very Custly Racket, N.
