Captain E. O Matthews is in San Francisco gathering facts fur the information of those who want to know what would bo the prospects for successfully maintaining such an insti tution, ife visited Mayor Ellert and explained the purpose of his mission. He found the Mavor a warm advocate of tlie scheme. Captain Matthews explained that the authorities proposed to crmip a training ship for the accommodation of abnut 200 bovs, ranging In age from 14 to 17. Captain Matthews stated that he would remain In that city for about three weeks to attend to other matters con nected with the naval service, and that before his return to WaFhington he would again visit the Mayor's office and furnish more infonnation concerning the details of lb plaa. NATIONAL CAPITAL. Bo soon as Eckels, tho Democratic Comptrollerof Currency, assumes hisdu ties, Secretary Carlisle intends to reor ganize the system of examining national banks. . He desires to prevent such dis honesty as was shown in the affairs of tlie banks which recently failed in Bos ton, Philadelphia and Nashville, and for that purpose after retlistricting the bsnks so as to equalize the examiners' work he will ask Congress to enact a law giving the examiners more power in looking out for tlio perpetrators of frauds. Tho abstract " C " reports made to the Comptroller of the Currency, showing the condition of all national banks in tlie United States at the time of the last cull, Monday, March 0, have been pre pared at the Treasury Department. The aggregate resources were $3,4511,721,223. Jit tins connection it is interesting to note that the gold coin held aggregates IliW.rOTuTi, and tho gold certificates Ht" 030,(100. The loans and discounts have reached tho enormous sum of 2,133, 000,000. Among the liabilities are cap ital stock paid in IHIKH.000,000 and indi vidual deposits 11,751,000,000.

The committee will go direct to Utah, where it will look into tho condition of aHairs and then pass through New Mexico and Arizona. From these Territories the committee will return by way of Oklahoma. Short stops will lie made at the principal cities in each of the Territories, and the com mittee will address itself to tho -consideration of the material development of the country and the condition of tho peo ple who comprise its inhabitants. Secretary Morton has determined to devote his energies to furthering the con sumption of corn in F.uropc. lie invites tlie co-ocration in this work of all man facturers of corn products, from whom lie desires as a preliminary step to obtain A full statement of the various kinds of products mailt' horn corn by the manu facturers in each State, with abrief state ment as to their characteristics and ex cellence. Agent Mattes of Nebraska will snon lie in Washington for a conference as to the carrying on of the work abroad. Among other' things Mattes will be in structed to investigate the tobacco laws in force in European countries, known generally as " Iiegi." with a view ol as certaining whether it is not possible to secure a freer market for tho sale of American tobacco in .foreign countries. Mattes will also investigate the subject of the sale of meat products in Germany and France ascertain whether this trade is not seriously impeded in spite of the withdrawal of the restrictions on our in spected meat products by those coun tries by local and municipal regulations. The ninth annual report of the Civil Servh-e Commission was issued the other lay. The Commissioners urge that the classified service should be extended aa rapidly as practicable to cover every po sition 'in the public service to which itcan lie appropriately applied. Theyernest lv desire that some such bill as that in troduced in tho last Congress to take fourth-class postmasters out of politics tnav become a law. The report contin ues: " Ultimately the system ol pro motions in the departments must come under the immediate supervision of tlie commission in order to secure uniform ity and tho liest results. Very serious harm in our judgment results from al lowing the chiefs of divisions to be ex empted from examination, and we think they should be put under tlie general rule and be appointed by promotion within the service." The report shows a very surprising growth in the number of emploves compared with the growth in population. Tlie percentage of the growth in public service in ten years is nearly double that of the population. Tlie service classified for examination under civil-service rules has grown even faster in the same space of time, increas ing at tlie rate of about 130 per cent, so that, whereas only about 11 per cent of the public service was removed from partv politics in 18S3, about 21 per cent in 1S!)3 was so removed. The whole number ol places subject to competitive examination under tlie rules now is 42, 028. . , WORLDS FAIR NOTES. The electric ligbt on the manufactur ers' building of the World's Fair will be visible for 100 miles. The harbor at Chicago, from the river to the World's Fair grounds, will be lighted by electric buoys. Bow to stern, all the vessels which will participate in the great naval parade, will make a line over two miles long.

Canada is to send a mammoth cheese to the World's Fair at Chicago. It will bo 9 feet in diameter, 6 feet in height anil U tons in weight and the product of milk from 10,000 cows. At the conclusion of the World's Fair the Krupp gun, the largest piece of ord nance in the world, will be presented to Chicago bv Herr Krupp and mounted on a fort built in Lake Michigan opposite Hvde Park, permission for the construc tion of which was secured at Washing ton the other day. The fort will bo live acres in extent, "and will be for business as well as pleasure. Mounted on it, tho great gun will be to protect the entire city from attack by water, as it could sink an ironclad 'with a single shot. Work on the fort will be commenced at once and pushed with the greatest rapid ity, so as to be in working order before tlie fair closes. It will cover five acres with the most approved defenses. Postmaster-General Bissell has issued a notice to all postmasters that there is now in operation in the government building on tho grounds of the World's Fair a branch of the Chicago postofllee, known as the World's Fair station. This station will make regular collections and deliveries through its own force of letter carriers from and to all parts of the ex position grounds, and will transact money-order and registry business, as well as other business pertaining to a first-class postofllee. Postmasters are Instructed to use every proper means to give publicity to this information in order that persons intending to visit the fair mav, if they so desire, have their mail addressed to tM world. air station.
