WASHINGTON, May ). Postmaster
General Key, Secretary Thompson, OF the
Navy, and Secretary Schurz, Of the Inte-
rior, have made n commendable move
concerning the advertising in their de-

the government will pay no more for its
advertising than a commercial firm pays
for the same service, and whatever
abuses may have been possible in former
years will exist no longer. The leading
papers OF the country endorse this system,
and the officers who inaugurated the
needed reform have already received
many letters warmly commencing the

eral Crook had long conference to-day
with the Secretary OF the Interior and
Commissioner OF Indian Affairs, in re-
gard to the removal Of the Sioux Agcn.
cies to the Missouri River, and on the
Indian question generally.
Secretary Schurz and Commissioner
Smith entirely concur with General
Crook in his view that the Indians should
be compelled to work for their rations,
and the conference to-day was mainly
with view to ascertaining how the la
Dor OF the Indians could be utilized in
the interests both Of the Indians
and the Government. No definite con.
clusion has been reached as to the precise
location OF the new agencies, but it seems
certain that the Indians will not be re-
moved until next autumn, as during the
warm season the Indians will be disposed
to straggle oil on hunting expeditions,
but will be easily collected aud held to.

recent arguments Of that paper for re.

OF these is that it costs less to
hold session here 10 the midst
Of the populous regions ofthe State, from
which most Of the members are elected,
than at Charleston. One Of the strongest
arguments made use oiby the friends Of

the Eastern question as follows:
To the Editors Of the Times:
SRA rumor everywhere prevails
that our miraculous Premier, in spite oil
his Queens proclamation Of neutrality
intends, under cover Of care for British
interests, TO send the English fleet to the
Baltic, or do some other feat which shall
compel Russia to declare war against
England. Latterly the rumor has shifted
from the Baltic and become still more
sinister on the eastern side OF the sceBe
where feat is contemplated that will
force, not Russia only, but all Europe, to
declare war against US. This latter
have come to know as an indisputable
fact in our recent affairs, and the outlook
is surely grave one. As to British in
terests, there are none visible or conceiv.

our route to India by Suez and Egypt,
and for the rest resolutely steering alto.
gether clear OF any copartnery with the
Turk in regard TO this or any other
British interest whatever. It should be
felt by England as a real ignominy TO be
connected with the Turk at all. Nay, il
We still had, as in fact we all ought TO
have, hand to save him from perdition
and annihilation in Gods name, the fu.
ture for him that has, any hope in it,
even now is in his being conquered by
Russians and gradually drilled into
peaceable attempt atlearning to be him.
self governed.
The newspaper outcry against Russia is
no more respectable to me than the howl

the deepest Ignorance, egotism and paItry
National jealousy. These things l write
not on hearsay, but on acurate knowledge
and to all friends OF their country will
recommend immediate attention 10 them
