WASHINGTON, Dec. j.-ln asking Congress for
additional copies of the Narrative OF DR..
Halls Polaris Expedition edited by the late
Admiral Davis, an important suggestion viii
be made to the Committee on Printing by Adj
mral Rogers and Professor Nourse, in regard 60
the distribution of these and other scientific docu-
ments 1t is that instead Of Distributing these adj
ditioua copies in the usual way. by furnishing a
given number to each Senator and Member of Con
aress to dispose of in accordance with hisown udg-
ment the Secretary of the Navy the SuperIuteud-
ent of the Observatory be authorized by law to
place copies sale at price which shall cover the
cost Of paper, ink, presswork and binding, with 10
per cent added.
il has often been proposed that public documents
in this country shall be sold by the Government IN
stead OF being gratutou.ly distributed. This plan
has been opposed on the ground that these docu-
ments are published for the information of the peo
pie and chat the object of their publication would
in many cases, be defeated If the people were re-
qured 90 pay for them. These objections do not ap-
ply TO documents Of a scientific character. Eype-
rieuce has shown that the present system Of dspoa
Ing Of them utterly fails to insure their wise dis
tnbution. Hundreds and sometimes thousands
of scientific men throughout the country de
sire 10 obtain copies Of the publications OF
the Naval Observatory Smithsonian Institution,
Coast Survey and the geological and geographical
surveys and would De willing to pay fair price for
them. At present they are unable to obtain them
Oh any terms either because they are not acquainted
with the Members of Congress from their districts
OF make their applications after their Representa-
tives have disposed Of the quotas allowed them. In
many instances these important scientific docu-
ments are sent by Members OF Congress to Their
favortes with little regard to the use that Will be
made of Them and 10 often happens that there Is not
single library in a Congressional district where
the scientific publications of the Government can De
found.
In all cases where Congress has provided for the
sale Of public documents, this plan of distribution
has worked admirably. Notable examples OF II are
the sale by the State Department of the Revised
Statutes and the statutes at large and by the Gov
eminent Printing Office of the Congressional III
rectOry, Ii is 10 be hoped that the Committee on
Printing will not only agree that the additional
copies Of Captain Halls narrative shall M placed On

WASHINGTON Dec. J.-Senator Maxey, of Texas.
had interviews to-day with the Secretary of War
AND General Sherman in regard to the border
troubles. he was informed that the following force
i. now under order, for Texas VIZ: companies OF
tie l-h Cavalry. 40 men; four companies OF the
O. Auili,l. 1873 men Goth Regiment OF lnian-
t.r. 300 uen; total 500 men. Nr. MaXey
made a special request that General Mckenzie be
placed ia command. He said that there is not man
H. I.-as who does not believe Mckenzie is the best
O. .,- ever on duty in that state. General Sherman
ordered the detail of that officer General Ord, COM

Military Committee to-day explaining the
las troubles and senator Maxey viii make
an argument before the Senate Committee
next week incarceration to-day he said that there
arc three things lhat viii cure the troubles on the
Mexican border namely, protection reciprocity ana
railroads: but above all protection. lie thinks
taer. ought 20 Doe two new posts erected, one be-
tween Brownsville and Fort Duncan. and tho other
between Fort Duncan and Eagle Pass. These will
cost about 100000 each. The President, Score
try of War; and the General of the Army have rec
commended them
Tie House Committee on Military Affairs viii
soon report on the Mexican border matter. The
testimony of the officers is all very similar. The
committee find, that the border depredations IN 10
sense amount 10 a military INVASION The general
testimony is that the raids are made by rowing
bands of from dozen TO forty men; and thai
these bands cross the Rio Grande at remote
points. two or three at time, and meet az some
point iu the interior. Members of the committee
ray they can see no means by which these depreda-
tous can bee stopped from side Of the Rio Crande
unless The Government Is prepared TO patrol the
bank OF tlaI stream. The testimony shows that
President Diaz is willing to cooperate with the
United STATES authorities 10 suppress this lawess-
ness, but tAat the Governors commanding the states
along the border are not disposed 10 cooperate. Out
