Wasiiimoton, November 13. Flrt A
istant Postmaster-General Frank Jones
ha submitted bis annual report to the
Postmaster-General. It Is a review of
the work in the department under bis
charge for the year ended June 80, 1804,
and contains hi recommendation for
improvement of tbe service. Mr. Jones
recommends legislation to protect the
post-marking stamp in use at postofflces,
aa the stamp Is now being used for un
lawful purposes. He review hi recom
mendations for legislation to prevent tbe
boycotting of postmaster by mailing of
letters at place other than the office,
which result in reducing the salaries of
the postmasters boycotted. He call
especial attention to the misuse of the
iranmng privilege, lie says:
" There seems to be some mlsaDDn
hension among member of Congress as
to tbe scope of the franking privilege,
which ha resulted in some postmasters
declining to send speeches or other
matter presented for mailing. This de
partment has been called upon to give
special instruction in such matter.
Instead of tlie name being written or
placed on the envelope by the hand
stamp it has been in some instances im
properly printed thereon ; the speeches
therein contained have borne advertise
ment of the printer, which formed no
part of tbe congressional record, and
therefore are subject to postage as third
class matter. In addition to this some
of the packages sent by mail under the
frank. of the member have been found
after delivery to contain printed matter
outside of tlie congressional record and
public documents and therefore not
frankable under the law above quoted.
The literature being sent under seal, the
department ia of course unable to detect
every violation. There i no penalty at
tached to the misuse of the franking
privilege ; hence no action ran be taken
by me further than to call the attention
of the member to tbe matter. A tins
department is required to carry without
one cent of revenue hundreds of ton ol
franked matter, additional limitation
should be placed on the use of tbe frank
or a penalty of some kind imposed for
its unlawful use, and I respectfully sug
gest that the attention of Congress be
called to thi matter for such action as
it should deem proper."
Mr. Jones recommends leglslatioL al
lowing the suspension without pay, not
to exceed ten days, of employes violating
the postal rules; also that disabled em
ployes mav be granted leave of absence
with continued pay; also some change
in the classification of salaries which
were heretofore commended. The report
gives details of the different divisions of
the nrst AssiBtanrs oince. xt u
Ih.t there are 140 first-class offices, 406
second class and 2,587 third-class. The
aggregate salaries of these was $5,709,700
and the aggregate receipt 168,658,024.
The following estimate are made for
salariea of postmaster, clerks, etc, for
the next year:

AN ELECTRIC DEATH.
The Subject Is to bo Thoroaghly Tested
in new ion,
Albany, N. Y., November 13. Gov
ernor Flower ia willing to allow expert
to make a test to ascertain whether
man killed in the electrical chair can be
resuscitated. Ever since the adoption
of the electrical execution act by the
State the Westinghouse people, whose
dvnamoa are used, have declared elec
tricity was not the cause of death, but
that death was assurea Dy tne noiaing
of an autopsy directly after the body had
been taken from the electrical chair.
No less an authority than Nicola Testa,
the famous electrician, contended he
could bring back to life a man killed in
an electrical chair, provided the attempt
was made immediately after the execu
tion. George Westinghouse has alway
asserted that electrical aeatn was a snam.
and that a New York commission, headed
by E. T. Gerry, had added the autopsy
clause to the law to make it certain that
the man was dead. Within the last lew
weeks the aititation of the subject hat
become prominent, and an appeal is to
be made to the Governor to allow the
next man condemned to be used as
ubiect to be experimented on. The
Governor says he will grant permission
to do this. If successful, the experi
ment will bring to life a new man, who
cannot be executed, havinponce suffered
the penalty of death. It will also prove
tlie the State executioners have been
the surgeons who have held the autopsy
rather than the electrician.

Other manufacturers also forbade the
firm from selling competitive ware.

Saw Bernabdiho, Cal., November 11.
The First National Bank of this city
closed its doors shortly after 10 o'clock
yesterday morning. The bank has been
in a safe condition for ordinary business,
but a quiet run was organized that went
on all Friday. Nothing wa thought of
it, but on opening yesterday morning
rush commenced, and Cashier Kohl
closed tbe doors and posted a notice to
protect all depositors. The bank was
doin? the larsrefit business in the city.
It is understood the cause of the failure
originated in personal quarrels among
the officers 01 the bank, rresiaent Jo
seph Brown, when interviewed, stated
that the b&nk would not resume busi
ness, but would go into liquidation. Tbe
securities of the Dank and its assets are
sufficient to pay all depositors in full and
leave something to be distributed among
the stockholders. The bank has a paid-
nn caDital of .100.000. and when closed
had deposit of about $200,000. Other
banks in the city are not in the least af
fected by the failure of the First Na
tional.

Washisotoh, November 9. The an
nouncement that the German authori
ties may conclude to determine the pos
sibilities of the introduction of Texas
fever into the Empire from expert opin
ion of American veterinarian wa re- ,
ceived with great interest by Secretary
Morton, whose advocacy of retaliation
by requiring a strict inspection of Ger
man wine and liquor has been told in
these dispatches, me secretary nas in
vestigated the question, and finds that
authority to entirely exclude German
products in retaliation for discrimina
tion of our goods is vested in the Presi
dent by existing laws, all of which haa
been heretofore overlooked in the dis
cussion of the question. Secretary Mor
ton bad a conference with the President,
and laid the law before him. It is in
the United States Statutes at large, vol
ume 26, Fifty-first Congress, page 414,
chapter 839: "An act providing for an
inspection 01 meats lor exportation ami
prohibiting the importation of adulter
ated articles of food or drink, and au
thorizing the President to make a proc
lamation in certain case and for other
purposes." Section 4, to which the Sec
retary called tne attention 01 ooiu tuo
United States authorities and tbe Ger
man Empire, reads:
"That whenever the President is sat
isfied there is good reason to believe any
importation ia being made, or is about
to be made, into the United State from
any foreign country of any article used
for human food or drink that ia adulter
ated, he (the President) may issue hi
proclamation suspending the importa
tion of such articles from such country
for such period of time aa he may think
necessary."
The Secretary believe this law is the
key to the situation furnishing this gov
ernment with full power to retaliate
upon Germany for the exclusion of our
cattle either by the policy which he sug
gested, of requiring a strict inspection of
their wines, or by stronger measures. At
the State Denartment the attitude of the
German government respecting our cat
tle ia regarded as the natural and proper
outcome of tbe strong representation
made by Minister Rnnyon. The negoti

government was content to rest its case
upon the questions of fact; first, wheth
ar nr not there were oenoine cases of
Texas fever among tbe cattle imported
into Germany Irom tbe united fctates,
and second, whether or not the disease
can be communicated to German cattle.
If, as stated in the srtispatch, the Ger
mans have so far receded from their first
position, justifying the absolute exclu
sion of American cattle without reason
able proof upon these important points,
then the State Department officials feel
that our cattle shippers nave nine to
four .nd that the Gorman rovernment
has assumed a very liberal attitude, and
one which is likely to speedily result in
the removal oi tbe em bargo.

8 ah Fbamcisco, November 9. The
steamer Beigic brought new from the
Orient under date of Tokio, October 20,
as follow: :
The Corean peninsula baa now been
cleared of Chinese troops from end . to
end. Corea was one of the last vestige
of the middle kingdom's medieval maj
esty ; one of the last of the little border
Ktates that acted as ouners oetween uie
big Empire and the " outer barbarians ;"
independent toward all the alien world,
dependent toward the Celestial Empire
alone. That wa the anomalous status
of these buffers. One after another they
have been shaken free by the impact ol
Western araression. Burmah, Siam.
Tonquin, Ahnam, the Pamir region-r-all
have fallen away, leaving tne nanx 01
the middle kingdom exposed to the kicks
of the profane Occident. Corea alone re
mained. To her relations with Uorea
China could not choose but import some
element of realism, for beyond the bor
ders of the peninsula Russia stood always
ready to advance, xnereiore tne remiig
statesman openly called Corea a de
pendency, and Europe Deneved tnas
they had both the will and the ability to
protect it. But two battle have sufficed
to drive the last of the bannermen acrosa
tha Yaln river and to nlace a Japanese
army on the borders of Manchuria. Ja-
San by a very striking object lesson haa
emonstrated the justice of her conten-
.. . riL;
tion that, so lar as concerned vmueuo
tntelsee. Corea' security against for
eign Invasion was a myth.
Ujina is a port distant nve mues irom
Hiroshima, a town on the inland sea,
where the Emperor of Japan as commander-in-chief
of the military and na
val forces has established his headquar
ter. Hiroshima was chosen for the
purpose because it is the most southerly
point to which the main trunk railway
of Japan has been pushed. Troops and '
tores from everv part of the Empire
reach it by rail. The harbor of Ujina is
capable of accommodating fiftyor aixty
large steamers, ana oetween ujina ana
Hiroshima a military railway has been
built. October 18 the last steamer of
great flotilla of Japanese i transports
steamed out of Ujina. They carried a
corps d'armee aggregating 22,000 corn-
Da tan ta Wltn ail llieir equipment, m"u
lance, military train, artillery, etc. The
flotilla, heading to the northwest, steered
for the entrance of the Pe Chi Li Gull
to attack simultaneously Fort Arthur
and Wei Hai Wei. Port Arthur and Wei
Hal Wei are China's only fortified har
bors in the northern part of her Empire.
Their works of defense were planned by
German engineers, and they enjoy the
reputation of being impregnable. Port
Arthur has docks capable of receiving
big ironclads, and is an important naval
depot. The Japanese troop will attack
both place from the land side, and it
may be predicted that they will take
them. In that case the Gulf of Pe Chi
Li and therefore the maritime ; ap
proaches to Peking will be completely
commanded by Japan.
