Ris old Rank-astsgmsted Sporting
Men,
WASHINGTON, Oct. a.-The receipts Of national
bank notes for redemption fell to- day to 100000.
A good proportion # this amount was sent
under the impression that trans ortatton
would be paid by the banks Issuing the notes,
and not the ssnders. as recently orAered by the
department.. The amount Of notes received
under the old order of things ranged from
$500, ,00e to over 81 100000 per day.
On account Of the small am unit of work to be
performed large number Of the employees of
the REDEEM ption agency we're relieved from
work at an early hour to- day. No discharges
were made, but there was considerable conster-
nation among the employees Of the bureau,
The reduced amount Of work will. as before
ated, make q reduction In force necessary, but
the extent Of the reduction has not besa deter
mined on.
It ap pearing from the reports Of the Surgeon
Gene raj Of The Army and the perintendent Of
the Governme t Hospital for the Insane that
Post Chaplain Charles NJ Blake was insane at tbs
time he rendered his res gnation. December 4,
1868 his resignation il. by direction II the Presi
dent. declared void and its acceptauc set aside.
Chaplain Blhke is restored tn the list Of post
cbapIAins, with his original dates Of rank and
with pay from May IA, 1878. since which q
vacancy in that x ade has existed He is ordered
to report in person to tha Department Of Ari-
zona for assignment to duty.
The r, suit Of this CourtueV-H II nlOn race to-
day has created II great deal Of dissatisfaction
here among sporting men. and the statement
that Courtney threw the race is generally be-
leVed.
