Secretary Riuk.or as he Is oftener spot
en of as "I'ncle Jerry," seems to stick
closer to his deck than any oth;r member
oi the administration, ami the result is that
while the other departments are beginning
) be enveloped in the usual summer stag
nation the department of Agriculture is
"hustling." This of course may be only
the result of the old saw "a new broom
sweeps clean." Among the transactions
of a week may be mentioned : The estab
lishment of a new division for the purpoe
o. editui" the scientific reports of the de
Plrtmcnt into lnnmm.e that run h. nn
derstood by plain everyday sort of folks;
ine publication of a sixteen-page pham
phlet explaining the work done and r.
suits accomplished by the experimental
stations in different sections of the coun
try; the removal of the State Agent for
Maryland and abolishment of the cilice,
and the sending of an assent to the llockv
Mountain section to examine into the
methods used In collecting agricultural
statistics.
According to telegrams received here
cx-Congressinan Kowell G. Horr, of
Michigan, considers his appointment to be
v. a. consul at alparaiso as an insult.
He was an applicant for a foreign mission,
and will refuse to accept the smaller
place. One o' his friends said to-day
uiai nir. Harrison was offended with Horr
because he stuck to Alger at the Chicago
convention.
Ex-Congressman Hart, of Ohio, the
man that caused Senators Sherman and
Quay to have quite a serious falling cut
several months ago, has at last received
the office which he at that time accepted.
He has just been appointed Solicitor of
Internal Revenue.
Commodore Schley, who is to be the
Commander of the new steel cruiser
' Baltimore," which made its trial sea
trip last week, pronounces that vessel to
be magnificent, and says "she will be able
to lick anything afloat." ff we had
thirty or forty such vessels we would have
a navy to be proud of.
The plate printeisare jubilant over the
removal of the steam plate printing
presses from the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing. The remove! was made by
order of -Secretary Windom, who de
clined to allow the company owning them
to accept the ridiculous compensation of
one cent per thousand impressions as roy
alty for the use of presses, which Con
gress had provided tor with the expecta
lion, of course, that the owners would
refuse it.
Postmaster-General Wanamaker has
' jumped on " the Telegraph Company bv
notifying them that in future the Govern
ment would pay only one mill per word
Instead of one cent, as at present. Repre
sentation of the telegraph companies
while recognizing the legal right of the
Postmaster General to say what the com
pensation shall be for this work, claim
that they lose money by doing the work
for the present price, and say that if Mr.
Wanairaker will not ch.mrel lis mind Ihj-v
will carry the messages for nothing, as it
will be be cheaper than to keep the ac
counts and make the collections at the
rate of one mill per word.
The usual number of reformers " it
the methods of transacting the depart
mental business which alwavs follow .-
new administration arc now in full snin.
If all these "reforms" had been im
provements the business system of the
various departments would long ago have
reached perfection. But alas, " what is
one man s meat is another man's poison,"
so what one man ca'ls "reform" another
calls nonsense.
Mr. Harrison went to Deer Park 1-Vidav
afternoon, tie is expected back in time to
attend a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
The office-seekers are having n tough
time with the thermometer in the 'nine
tics, and only an hour or two in the week
to see the dispensers of patronage. But
slili hang on, at least a great many ef
them do.
There are no new devclocments in the
misunderstandings, between Secretary No
blc and the Pension Commissioner, which
It was believed at one time came near re
sulting In Tanner's resignation.
The Persian Minister who was so run.
constructed that he failed to see the hu
mor in the newspaper paragraphs as to his
master, the Shah's personal habits, etc.,
has shaken the dust of Ainerici from his
feet and gone home to stay, lie accuses
us of discourtesy, and yet he left without
!ven notifying the State department of
his intention.
It is stated here with great positivencss
that the State of Mr. Rlrinc's health is so
bad that he will resign. 1 don't believe a
word of It, and yet in all probability Mr.
Blaine himself. Is responsible for the re
port; he is a monomaniac on the subject
of his health, and the finger ache "
causes him more worry than serious
attack of sickness would the average man.
I The strangest canal in the world is a cana
16 miles long, between Worsley and St Helens,
ill the UOrlll nf KmvUn.V an. I is nmtr nr.mn.l
from end to end. Many yens ago the duke o'
Krulgewater s managers thought they could
save muney by transporting the coal in hie
mines underground instead of on the surface,
So the canal was constructed, the mines con
nected and drained at the same time. Ordi
nary canal boats are used, hut the poer is
furnished by men. On the roof of the tunnel
arch are cross pieces, and the men who do the
work of propulsion lie on their backs on ih
coal and push with their feet n".iin;l the
bars on the roof.
