C. NATIONAL CAPITAL AFPAIRS. Late News at the Seat of Government. A Good Coaling Station. The Navy Department is very anxious to procure a coaling station in the West Indies, and it is probable that the effort to purchase the island of St. Thomas will be revived in the present Congress. The recent Chilian trouble has made apparent the weakness of this country in proper coaling stations for our new navy. St. Thomas is the only island in the West In- dies obtainable for such a purpose. The interest of our Government in the matter has been excited by reports of Germany’s wish to buy the island. The President’s Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving Day was quietly observed in Washington, All the Government buildings were closed and there was a general suspension of business. The President, accompanied by Mrs. McKee and Mrs. Dimmick, attended morning service at the Church of the Covenant. Religious services were held in all the churches and were well attended. Want Roosevelt Removed. The committee appointed by Postmas- ter General Wanamaker to make an in- vestigation into the charges against the management of the Baltimore postoffice has made its report, and recommends, among other things, the removal of Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt. It is charged that the report by Commissioner Roosevelt that Postmaster Johnson had violated the civil service law was un- founded and unfair, and based on ex parte testimony. Suits Against the Treasury. General Hepburn, Solicitor of the Treasury, says in his annual report that the whole number of suits against his department decided or otherwise disposed of during the year was 6,206. The amount for which judgments were ob- tained, exclusive of decrees in rem., was $550,108: the amount collected was $797,- 375. The number of case in which of- fers of compromise were pending or re- ceived was 126, involving $2,348,773. Pennsylvania Border Raid Clatms. The Border Raid Commission, created by Pennsylvania’s legislature to secure | indemnity from Congress for Confederate depredations upon the border counties, has opened permanent headquarters in Washington. Speaker Reed declined to recognize any member who wanted to make the motion to passthe bill It will doubtless be as difficult to get recognition in the next House. Dismissed for Brutality. Dr. Craigen, of Cumberland, Md., has been dismissed by Pension Commissioner Raum from his position as a member of the United States Pension Board of Ex amining Physicians for that Maryland district. On November 10 he dressed a wound on the leg of a man, and put in several stitches. The man, who had been hurt on therailroad track, had no money, and Dr. Craigen thereupon cut the stitches. Craigen has also been discharged from his position as physician in charge of the county almshouse and insane asy- lum, and expelled from the Cumberland Grand Army Post. The matter will also be called to the attention of the State's attorney. Notes. Herr Krapf von Liverhof, Austrian secretary of legation at Washington, is dead at Vienna from self inflicted pistol shots while mentally depressed. Rev. William A. Bartlett, a Presbyter- ian clergyman of Washington city, has been elected a director of the House of the Good Shepherd, a Catholic reforma- tory institution there, and has accepted the office. Senator Carlisle has written a letter recommendiug Mr. Mills’s election as Speaker of the next House. The Speakership fight is very lively, and has developed some acrimony be- tween the friends of Mr, Mills and Mr. Crisp. Secretary Blaine set the tongue of gos- sip wagging by a visit to Philadelphia, where he went on private business, Now that the Republican National Convention question has been settled, rival cities will contend for the Demo- cratic National Convention. St. Louis is first in the field with a delegation at the National Capital. Representatives of Cincinnati, Chicago, and Minneapolis are expected to follow, Secretary Foster has so far improved that he is able to sit up. The President is working on his mes- sage. A Washington (D. C.) coroner's jury blames the death of George White, killed in the cyclone, to improper work on Metzerott Hall. Superintendent White, of the railway mail service, recommends the retirement on half pay of railway posta: clerks in- capacitated by accident or old age. THE NORTH POLE MOVES. A Great Discovery Made by Professor Chandler. A remarkable discovery by Professor S. C. Chandler, of Boston, has just been revealed by him in a paper read before the Boston Scientific Society. He gave an analysis of observations showing that the parallels of latitude, which were commonly supposed to be fixed lines, are really mutable. In general, Professor Chandler’s discov- ery is that the pole of the earth revolves about a circumference with about 30 feet radius in 427 days. The discovery, it is claimed, accounts for many of the dis- crepancies in astronomical observations which have been bothering astronomers for nearly 200 years. sions have been verified by observations } in England, France, Germany, and Amer- ica, J. . Ceelidge HARNESS ATTACHMENT Patented November 137u, 1888. ° J. 8. Coolidges Harness attachment is the best thing of the kind ever put on the market. It is so arranged that any one can secure it to any harness, in three minutes, without cutting th same in any way, right out in the street. It can be taken off th harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its forme style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hitch ing and unhitching as a horse can be attached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extricated iu less than 5 seconds. It is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out oforder, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is reqaired. The Bolt is re movable secured so as to allow the spring to be removed when woru. The particular advantage this device possesses over oth- ers consists in the constructiou of the case and arrangements of the straps, whereby the same may be attached to any harness, without cutting the same, as hasbeen heretofore necessary in, order to use devices of this character. To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines be ing connected with the driver by suitable means, so that if the horse runs or becomes unmanageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will cast the piate 16 a- side and release the animal trom the vehicle. Any woman or child can hitch or unbitch a horse without the slightest trouble. Thousands of the attachments are being used every day. Mr. Chandler states that his conclu- ; Governor Hovey, of Indiana, is very ill at Indianapolis. Two hundred people are down with smallpox at Hone’s Neck, Ga., and 20 are dead. Fifty steamers are under charter to load 3,000,000 bushels of grain at Balti- more. Fully 15,000,000 bushels of coal are awaiting at Pittsburg a boating stage of water. Kansas farmers, with a capital stock of $100,000, have organized a rainmaking company, and Melbourne will operate for them. The late storm in the West was very disastrous to vessels on the great lakes, The greatest lumber season ever known in Minnesota has just closed. The cut this year is 447,713,252 feet, 207,221,000 shingles, and 97,697,600 lath. Ti.is ex- zeeds the output of 1890 by 103,138,890 feet of lumber, 45,903,500 shingles, and 17,400,250 lath. The great Gilmore Eustis Rolling Mills, at Cambridgeport, Mass., have shut down. It was the largest iron plant in New England. It is claimed that Mr. James Brown Potter has procured a divorce from his wife, the famous actress, on the ground of desertion. She left this country over three years ago at the head of a theat- rical company, Hon. Gilbert A. Deane, the Republican claimant for the disputed New York sen- atorship from the Dutchess district, is dead. The New York legislatureis in doubt still, with the prospects of a tie or a Democratic majority of one vote. The Emperor of Germany wants a law to punish stock gambling. The sugar beet crop is short in France and Germany. The 46,000 striking French miners are in an ugly mood, and conflicts with the police are of daily occurrence. Advices from Stockholm indicate a probable early civil war in Norway in favor of a republican form of govern- ment. The Russian minister of marine ad- vises the building of more war ships. Since the New York Central express robbery all agents of the American Ex- press Company are required to constantly carry revolvers, It is surmised that the frequent Euro- pean war scares are got up to influence stock gambling. The anti-subtreasury branch of the Farmers’ Alliance has issued a call for ¢ convention at Memphis, Tenn., on De- cember 16. The race between the famous steam yachts Vamoose and Norwood has been postponed until next spring. Jackson and Slavin, the Australiar pugilists, have been matched for a glove fight before the National Club of London for a purse of $10,000. Emperor William has ordered a large number of portable tents for the Eastern Army Corps. The sum of $100,000 is offered by Judson 4. Clark, of Elmira, N. Y., for Arion, the wonderful 2 year old trotter, who re- ently made a record of 2.10%. Mr. Clark = over $50,000 for Bell Boy, the stal- jion that was burned to death not very long since.
