no auditor Of the Post Office Department, co nomi-
nee. That Office was established at the re-organiza-
ton Of the Post Office Department on the LIST July,
1886. Col. GARDNER was made auditor then and
Major HOMIE succeeded him as First Assistant,
which Office he holds to the present time.

highly creditable to the gallant officer named

kindly the treaty between Great Britain and
China 1t was stipulated that foreigners should be
permitted to 60 into the city the expiration Of two
years. The time is up ON the 9th of April, and
Governor Benham insists upon the privilege or right
being practically carried into effect. The Chinese
mob are very adverse to anything of the kind, and
threaten to exterminate all the barbarians If they at
tempt to enter the town. We have all the necessa-
ry preparations to meet the difficulty, and have
addressed letter to Com. d. Geisinger who Is in
command of our squadron, to give us protection.
He not only promptly responded to our call but even
anticipated wishes by reducing the draft Of wa
