Law.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.-All the MEM
bers of the Cabinet were present al the
meeting to-day, which continued nearly
hours. The larger portion of time was oc7
cupied on the results so far of TIE civil Ser
vice Commission, which were explained by

A Hornet Nest.
This government and the Spanish au-
thorities have not yet arrived at any agree
ment respecting the Hornet, now at Fort au
Prince, and menaced by Spanish vessels. A
correspondence is in progress between tne
Secretary Of State and Minister Roberts, the
former protesting AGAINST the design to seize
that vessel, which is under the American
flag.
Georgia Trembling Beneath the Sword
1t appear from Georgia papers that much
alarm prevails under an apprehension that
the President will declare martial law In
that State. Such is not his design, there
being nothing in the present condition OF
any part of Georgia to warrant stlch
measure.
Selling Smallpox. 5 f
Prominent gentlemen attribute the spread
of smallpox in Philadelphia and other cities
to the sale of buffalo robes taken from the
Blacl1feet and Piegan camps where the di-
sease prevailed two years ago. AT that
time thew were forbidden to be sold to
traders, but several months ago they disap-
peared from those neighbOrhoods and found
their way elsewhere.

Curious Criminal Statistics
Hon. John Eaton, jr., Commissioner OF
Education, has prepared a series of statis-
tics to be embodied In his annual report,
setting forth the relation of education to
crime in the New England States. From
this it appears, first, that eighty per cent. of
the criminals in those States have no edu-
cation, or not sufficient to serve them
valuable purpose in life; second, eighty to
ninety per cent. of the criminals have never
learned any trade, nor are they master OF
any skilled labor; third, not far from seven
ty-five per cent. of the crimes committed
are by persons of foreign extract, born
themselves abroad, or their parents; fourth,
eighty to ninety per cent. of the criminals
are incorporate; fifth, ninety-five per cent.
of the juvenile offenders are from idle, ig-
nOrant, vicious, and drunken homes.
western Pension Agencies.
Commissioner Baker, of the Pension Blu
reau, recently dispatched special agents from
his office to the West for the purpose of
making an examination into the several
agencies in that section Of the country. No
serious irregularities were found to exist in
their management, but some few of the
agents had departed from the regulations
prescribed by law in advancing money to
pensioners. The agent at Louisville, Ken
lucky, had also been making over payments,
through the neglect of his predecessor to
keep a record of all payments made by him.
The amounts thus oyerpaid were not large;
neither will the Government be the loser by
the operation.

The Tobacco Tax.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 10.-At a meeting OF
the tobacco manufacturers and dealers, held
here to-day to confer with Israel Kimball,
of the Revenue Department at Washington,
to get the views of those Immediately inter
ested in the tax on tobacco, there was a
full interchange of opinion, the manufactu-
rers generally agreeing that the bonded
warehouse was not needed; and that the
peddling system, being open to fraud, it
should be much better guarded or abolish
ed, and that dealing in leaf tobacco should
be better regulated. There was some diff
ference of opinion relative to the amount to
be imposed, though they generally favored
a reduction. A committee was appointed to
draft resolutions expressive of the sense Of
the meeting, and the same to be forwarded
to Washington.

CHICAGO.
SeIE-ASSurRnce.

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-Under the influence
of the high rates of insurance put upon the
grain warehouses of the city, the proprietOrs
have determined to purchase each steam
fire engine for its own use, and the whole
number to be called out should there be
necessity for it. Each warehouse is also to
have a steam pump connected with pipes
radiating through the building, to be used
on a ike occasion. In this way the ware
houses will be enabled to take care of them
selves more efiectually than in any other
way. Under these circumstances the pro-
prietors will not deemit necessary to insure
their warehouses or their contents.
Innocent InsOIVents.
In the cases of the Continental and Gar
den City Insurance Companies of Chicago,
on which application had been made to the
Circuit Court for the appointment Of re
ceivers, Judge Williams yesterday decided
not to appoint such receivers, for the reason
that there are no allegations against the
Companies showing bad faith on the part
of the officers of the Companies. The
Companies are, according to the allegations,
both largely insOlvent, but where the insOl-
vency Of a company, as decided in the case
of Baker VS.. Backus, is not sufficient to
authorize JDc court 10 appoint d l6CtlNCI,
there must be some bad faith on the part of
the officers or some act which may have
been done by them which amounts virtual
" to forfeiture Of chatter.
