is an abundance of timber in the navy

|. he represents the necessity Of establish
ing one or more factories for the con.
s,ruction OF machinery for the largest
class OF steamers. Ii is also necessary
to increase the number Of seamen, and
to increase their wages.
Authority is asked for the appoint
ment of twenty assistant surgeons, with
a corresponding promotion of those al
ready in service.
The marine corps and the inadeGuacy
of its numbers are next referred to-
Additional pursers are needed. The
Secretary renews the recommendations
heretofore made in regard TO retired
list, and states his concurrence i'm the
viows of his predecessor as to the prop.
erty or recognizing the title Of commo-
dore and of creating at least two rear
admrals.

of the provision requiring the present
mode of settlement, and return TO the
old system of uniform rates of commits
sion on the amount of postage collected.
In this recommendation the Post Master
General concurs. The Auditor also rec
ommends that Post Master should be
allowed small compensation for deliv.
ering from his office to subscriber each
newspaper not now chargeable with
postage.
Attention is directed to large class of
contractors on special routes, and mail
passengers on whom the reduction of
postage has operated with great hardship.
Estimates by the Auditor-embraced
in this report-show that total number
of paid and unpaid letters which pass
ed through the post Offices in the United
States during the year was 95,790,524,
of which 4,42l,5 SAT were conveyed by
European Steamers; 99,372 by Havana
steamers; 1895, ,537 by California steam
ers. The dead letters numbered more
than 100000. The newspapers and
other packages of printed matter charge
able with postage were S7,7I0,40s; ex-
change newspapers, 7,073,584; newspa-
pers circulated free within the counties
where published, 10000, 600.

IL is suggested by the Secretary thu I
a descriptive and analytic catalogue Of
all the inventions, discoveries and the
mechanical Improvements made in the
course OF tie year, would be great ben
eft to the public.
A long but not very interesting state
ment is given OF the present position of
the Mexican boundary survey, and of the
difficulties which have sprung up in the
commission appointed to complete il,
with sorry picture OF The distressed
state of affairs. The subject will un-
questionably receive the early attention
of Congress.
The remainder of the report relates to
certain local Improvements in the Dis
trict of Columbia, such as the extension
of the Capitol. and the propriety of bull.
ding new houses for the Vice President
and members Of the Cabinet. and OF
supplying Washington City with water.
An agricultural bureau is also once more
commended TO the legislature.

Massachusetts has already received a
million and half of dollars for the land
in Maine which were allotted to her a,
the time Maine was erected into State
lin ls20.) Yet the entire body of her
lands in Maine were offered by Massa-
chusetts to that State at the period allu-
ded to, for 100000. Maine now offers
S400, 900 for the moie,y that remains.-
The cause of this advance in the price is
their enhanced value as timber lands.
