now in progress will be the issue OF an
order removing the troops from the State
House at Columbia. The anxiety il to &C
consummate the action Of the Govern,
ment that no discord can possibly result
A fair inference from the events which
have recently occurred Is that 1t will moi
be many days before decision will be
announced. The deliberations Of the
Cabinet to-day involved a careful review
OF all the statements recently made "a
the President by both Chamberlain and
Hampton, and this will be probably con.
tinued tomorrow.
APPOINTMENTS.
II Is also understood that the Cabinet
was engaged for short time to-day with
questions concerning few appointments

REDUCING THE FORCE.
About 200 employees are to be dismissed
from the Bureau OF Engraving and
Printing in the Treasury Department
tomorrow, in order to bring the force
down to the actual requirements OF the
work.
This afternoon the President received
a delegation Of colored citizens from
Alexandria, urging the appointment Of
Prof. l.angston to be Commissioner Of
Agriculture. The President said that he
recognized in the main the justice OF the
claim for able colored men to be ap-
pointed to office, and that he had the
highest regard for Prof. Langston, but
doubted whether he should appoint him
to that particular position.
NO employees WITHOUT APPROPRIATION.
Some fifteen or twenty Temporary clerks
in the Navy Department will be dismiss
ed tomorrow. They have been employ.
ed in the department for two or three
years past, and paid either as writers for
the navy yards or out Of the contingent
funds Of several bureaus. There being
no provision Of law authorizing their
employment or making appropriations
for their compensation as clerks, Sec.
retary Thompson announces his purpose
to have no one in the department not ex.
pressly provided for by law.

revelations made, which am free to

The Great Wall of China.

kaIgan commands one of the passes
through the great wall Of China. 1t is
there built Of large stone, cemcnted tC-
gether with mortar. 1t tapers toward the
top, being twenty-one feet high and
twcnty-elght feet wide at the foundation,
At the most important points, less than
a mile apart, square towers are erected,
built Of bricks. 1t winds over the crest
of the mountains, crossing the valleys at
right angels, blocking them with tortifi-
cations. The Chinese estimate its length
to be about $500 miles, but in parts
more remote from Pekin the wall is of
inferior construction. There is nothing
but dilapidatcd mud rampant, as Col.
onel Prejevalsky saw it on the borders of
Ala.shan and kansu. 1t is said to have
been built upward of two centuries before
Christ to protect the empire against the
inroads of the neighboring Nomads, but
the periodical irruptions of the barbarians
were never checked by this artificial bar
rier.

Steam iIn MINER,
The London newspapers Of June 10Th
furnish US with a report OF a Visit maze
by one hundred and fifty members and
associates of the society Of engineers to
the royal arsenal at Woowich. On as
sembling at the arsenal the visitors were
divided into two sections, each section
proceeding in charge Of guide, One'to
the royal laboratory department, and the
other TO the royal carriage department,
On leaving those departments the sec
tiOns interchangcd, and afterward both
sections united and were conducted over
the royal gun factories. In the labora-
tory the visitors were first shown the
manufacture of bullets for the Martini
Henry rs well as for the ~nidcr rife, and
also for COTS reyolycrs. The bullet
metal is first poured hot into receiver,
which is forced up by hydraulic pressure,
causing the soIidi6cd but still hot metal
to issue from the top Ct pIunger as a
rod. This operation is performed in
what is designated the Iead'squirting
room" The rod Of metal is wOnnd on
to drum as it issues forth until the
contents Of the hydraulic press are cx-
haustcd, when the drum, with it's coil, is
removed to the buletmoulding room
Here the metal is first cut up into lengths
and rough shaped in one machine and
finished in another, A large number OF
machines were busiIy at work making

toned. The manufacture Of the plug
for the rear end Of the bullet was also
witnessed. The plug was formerly made
Of wood, but is now made from special
kind Of powder, which is s0lldified under
pressure. The shell foundry and shell
filing room were next visited, and SHELLS
of various sizes, from those Of the
8O.ton gun downward to 7-pOunder
shells, were seen in. the various
stages Of manufacture. The cartridge
case factory was then visited a. were
