The London Times, in speaking of
the Eastern question, says: 1.-The su-
premacy of Great Britain is not en-
dangered; ut the same time there are
interests not threatened by the progress
of the war, except so far as mutual CO.
hesion of the whole Ottoman empire is
threatened, which can be more strongly
prote cted than they are by acts not in
any degree savoring of the character of
war. We are not going to allow our
interest to be bound up with the main
tenance of the Ottoman empire in its
integrity or independence. It will be
found when Parliament meets that the
communications the ministers will have
to make in both houses are not inspired
by that terror which now disturbs the
mental vision and distracts the judg-
ment Of so many"

SOUTH CAROLINA.

The Case of Senator Paterson.
Columbia, Dec. 20.-The question of
sending to the United States Senate al
the evidence taken against Senator Pat
tcrson by the investigating committee
of the South Carolina legislature was
discussed in the state senate yesterday.
It was stated in the discussion that
Senator Butler had informed his friends
that it would be impossible for him, in
view of his obligation TO Senator Pat
terson, to present the report of the in
vestigating committee TO the Senate of
the United States. 1t was deemed best,
therefore. to pass n resolution TO send
the report to Vice-President Wheeler,
with the request that he will submit
the same to the Senate.
One of Gov. Hampton's friends said
authoritatively that the former was
quite willing for Butler to reward Pat
terson as best he may, but whatever
settlement is made between the two
Senators, Coy. Hampton does not think
that his administration should be par
ty to il.

A STAMP STORY.
Expose of the Lucrative Traffic
Done by Rural P. Ms.
HoW They Exc Cut Respectable Income
by Commissions on Immense
Stamp Sales.

Washington, Dec. 2U-The Third
Assistant Postmaster General has made
very interesting report on the subject
of abuses in the sales of stamps by
country postmasters. 1t seems that the
fourth-class offices, which are allowed
u commission on the sales of stamps,
comprise 96 per cent. of the total num-
Der of postoflices in the United States.
sixty per cent. on the face value of
stamps sold at these offices, whereas the
Government receives the entire pro-
ceeds of stamps sold by regular sala-
ried postmasters of the other grades,
hence the abuse appears when post
master of fourth-class office sells or
trades stamps for use outside of its
proper sphere of delivery.
The Assistant Postmaster General
says that all possible vigilance has
failed to suppress these widespread
frauds upon the Government. Expert
ence has shown that second only to the
variety of expedients developed by
postmasters in effecting sales, is the
plausibility Of the excuses assigned by
them for needing unusual supplies, and
as there are over thirty thousand fourth
class postmasters, the Department must
TO great extent accept their repre-
sentations. Some interesting instances
are related of the thriving business done
in this way.
4 Mormon from southern Utah re-
Gently bought new sets of furniture in
Salt Lake for his entire house, and paid
for them in postage stamps. Two of
the largest business houses in that city,
receiving daily from one to two hum
dred letters, have not bought five dol
lars worth of stamps from the salt
Lake postollice in two years, but they
have stamps constantly for sale, and
once offered to furnish the city post
master with fifteen hundred dollars
worth.
X country postmaster in Maryland
has, until recently detected, been fur
nishing all the stamps used by promi-
nent railroad company's main Office in
Baltimore. The treasurer, living in
tie neighborhood of this dishonest
postmaster, has purchased stamps of
him from so-called friendly motives.
The postmaster of small Mississippi
Office last summer claimed four hun
dred dollars commission on stamps
sold in two days, although he could not
have legitimately disposed of stamps to
that amount IN dozen years.
The sales of stamps ut all the large
cities are falling OFF greatly because
country postmasters who get such enor-
nous commissions sell them to business
people at heavy discount. The abuse
has become so glaring that Congress
will undoubtedly hasten to amend the
law so as to provide that the compensa-
tion of fourth-class postoflices will be
determined either by the number of
stamps cancelled or the number of let
ters delivered by them.

THE pRo-RATE Pow-woW.
Big Talk by U. S. Attorneys.

Dig ak ny ". .. AttoTHeyS.
Washington, Dec. 20.-Augument
was concluded to-day before the Secre-
tary Of the Interior and Attorney Gen.
eral ON the Pacific roads pro-rate ques-
tion. Shellebarger and Poppleton con-
tended that any construction of exist
ing laws, or any new enactments which
would compel the main line to pro-rate
with the branches at the same rate per
mile on all grades and for short as well
as for long distances, would be unjust
and ruinous to the Union Pacific.
Woolworth, on behalf Of the Bur-
lington s. Missouri river road, in Ne
braska, briefly alluded to the claims of
that road as a branch of the main line,
in order that they might not be over
looked if the President should consider
the legal question OF the status of
branches.
Storrs, for the Central Pacific, ap-
peored simply to. say that in the case Of
the cost for conveying the 3rd Infantry
to California, last summer, the Central
Pacific had charged the Government
local rates because there were no
through rates then in operation.
