Without including the recently estab lished training colleges there are now in England and Walei fortv-one institu tions at which candidates for the ele mentary school profession are trained and boarded. A London superintendent lately pro nounced the schools of New Zealand among the best in the world, and the reports from the schools of that till lately barbarous country show Dhenom- en 1 changes. Athens has lately completed a maenif- icent academy building of Pentelican marble, costing (1,000,00.1 given by a wealthy Greek merchant, Sina by name, and has a well-equipped university with a complete school system beside.

The merchant marine is to be diligent ly looked after. Senator Hoar bas se cured much valuable information while abroad, which he proposes to incorporate into a shipping bill. The Reading people are sanguine over the success of tneir new steel bearings for mine cars, which by doing away with the use of oil will effect the saving of several thousands a year.

NOVEMBER 25, 1892. NATIONAL CAPITAL. Annual Report of General Casey Ready for Transmission to Congress Appointments Made. The President has appointed Silas Alexander of New Mexico Secretary of the Territory of New Mexico, vice Ben jamin M. Thomas deceased. The annual report of General Casey, chief of the engineer corps of the army, I is ready for transmission to Congress. It relates to appropriations for the construc tion of emplacements for modern rifted guns and mortars. Secretary Noble has appointed Rybert Schellicher of Lewiston, Idaho; James F. Allen of the Indian office and Cyrus Bee be of Alaska as a commission to ne gotiate with the Nez Perce Indians in Idaho for cession to the United States of the surplus lands of their reservation under provisions of the act of July 14, 1892. , Captain W. G. Coulson of the United States revenue marine service, has been detached from duty in command of the revenue steamer Rush and ordered to duty in the life-saving service as in spector of the stations on the Pacific Coast, vice Captain J. M. White de-' ceased. His successor as commander of the Rush has not as yet been selected. Hobart Wilcox has been ' appointed keeper of the life-saving station at Cape Arago. It has been definely decided that Gov ernor Stone, Assistant Commi-sioner of the General Land Office, shall be ap pointed Commissioner of the Bureau to succeed T. H. Carter, who resigned to accept the chairmanship of the National Republican.Committee. There are sev eral applicants for the Assistant Com tri'ssionerehip, and if the policy of pro motion ia followed, M. M. Rose, the present efficient Chief Clerk of the land office, will be given the place. Superintendent of the Census Porter has discharged Ivan Petroff, the special agent, who, It is stated, gave false infor mation in reports of Alaska for the State Department in the Behring Sea cases. Secretary Noble approved Porter's ac tion. Porter in a letter to the Secretary stated that a complete history of PetrofTs action precluded the supposition that Petroff waa suffering from insanity. Prof. James H. B odgett of the census office was placed in charge of the Alaska work, and after verifying it in every par ticular will superintend its final publi cation. The State Department is diapos d to have more respect for Venezuela's posi tion in the case of refugee Mijarea since the announcement by Senator Pietrie that General Crespo Intended to hold the consignees of the Philadelphia re sponsible for her Captain's refusal to surrender Mijarea. It is clear to the of ficials that the Venezuelan authorities have a good case, otherwise they would be disposed to allow the matter to drop. An official admitted that the Venezuelan authorities would have a perfect right to arrest and punish the consignees of the Philadelphia if it should transpire that M jares was a criminal under the com mon law. The department heretofore has figured from the assumption that Minister Scruggs had prima-facie evi dence that he was a political refugee, and that the charge of cattle-stealing was simply trumped up to get him off the steamer. In this light he would un doubtedly be upheld by this government, and the arrest of the consignees would probably result in a protest. . Secretary Foster and those treasury of ficials who have intimate knowledge of the receipts and expenditures of the government are giving much thought and attention to the subject of a prob able deficiency in the revenues for the next fiscal year. This question comes up naturally in considering what the probable revenue of the government will be, so that the Secretary may submit to Congress, aa he la by law required to do, the amount of revenue expected. The estimate of the Secretary of the Treasury must be taken for their action as a guide by Congress upon their appropriation bills. In arriving at this estimate, the average receipts from custom, internal revenue and incidental sources of reve nue have to be taken into consideration. The receipts from internal revenue will, it is expected, continue to naturally in crease with the growth and population, as no legislation has been passed to af fect it. But it is not so with customs duties. With no disturbing element to affect them, they would be stable, sub ject only to the law of supply and de mand and the condition of the money market, bat with new administration coming into power, expected to lower duties on a number of articles and to pat others on the free list, a state of un certainty is created that prevents a close estimate of the revenues from the tariff duties collected. WORLD'S FAIR NOTES. Auditor Ackerman Resigns on Account of a Leak Between the Treasurer's Office and the Gates. The expense of organising the Ruslan section of Chicago Columbian Exhibi tion will amount to 800,000 roubles. The Greek government has voted 500, 000 drachmas to be expended on the re production of antique works of art for the World's Fair.

Mrs. Langtrv is having a doll three feet high especially modeled to represent her in face, and to -be dressed exactly as she was in "Cleopatra." Mrs. Lang try sends the doll as contribution to the Chicago Exhibition. One haunting fear pervades the inner councils of the managers of the World's Fair in Chicago. It relates to the possi bilities of the return of cholera with the opening of spring. In that event it is acknowledged that the Fair would re ceive a blow from which it could scarcely recover. Auditor W. K. Ackerman, of the World's Fair Commission, has tendered his resignation and has Informed the local Executive Committee that a leak exists between the treasurer's office and the gates. Ackerman does not charge that the shortage is due to dishonesty, but claims that thousands of tickets of admission to the Fair have disappeared, and aa he haa no control over the men at the gates he decline to jeopardize his reputation by remaining in his office.
