WASHINGTON NOTES.

The actual cost of the postal service
of the United States for the last fiscal
year, as shown by the official figures,
was little over $30,000,000. The total
expenditures were more than $33,
OCO,000, being a reduction as compared with
the preceding year of over 81, 100000. Of this
three-quarters was effected by the opera
ton of the law reducing the compensation
of Postmasters. The greatest item Of ex-
penditures was $1,000, 706 for railway postal
service. But the old-fashioned horseback and
stage-coach transportation yet holds an i'm
portant place in the postal service, no less
than S., 537, 345 having been paid for it during
the year. The compensation OF Postmasters
for the same period was over 81, 100000.
As mark of respect to the memory
Of the late Senator Chandler, the President is
sued all order directing that the several Execu-
tive Departments be closed to public business,
and their flags and those of their dependencies
throughout the country be displayed at half
mast On the day of his funeral.

Josie MeeI<er's Story-vivid Details of the
Outbreak and Massacre at the Agency
Sufferings of the Captive Women.
The first heard of any trouble with the In
dams at my fathers agency was the firing at
Mr.. Price while he was blowing for Indian
crops according to Government instructions
The Indians had the idea, and said, that as
soon as the land was plowed it would cease to
belong to the Utes. Two or three councils were
held, and an Indian woman, Jane, the wife of
Panyitts, was the cause of the whole trouble,
The trouble seemed settled by two Or three
councils, secretly, however. The Utes were
preparing fora massacre, for just before Eek
ridge left with the Indians a runner was seen
rushing up to the tent of Douglass with what |
since learned was news of soldiers fighting.
Half an hour later twenty armed Indians came
to the agency from the camp OF Douglass, and
began firing ~.
