Departure of the Jeanette.

SAN Francisco, July S.-The Arctic
exploring yacht Jeanette sailed this az
ternoon. Long before the hour fixed for
her departure the pier heads and ships
along the city front and hllltOps were
crowded with spectators, and the bay
was lively with yachts and steamers.
Some delay occurred, and it was
not till 4 P. VI. that the order was
given to weigh anchor Conveyed by
the steam tugs MiIlard Griffith and Ra-
boni and the city fire tug Governor lr-
win, and attended bv the entire yacht
squadron, all bearing full loads OF spec
tators, the Jeanette steamed slowly
down the harbor amid the dipping of
flags, screaming of steam whistles and
salute OF ten guns from Fort Point. The
Jeanette was deeply loaded with coal
and stores, and her progress was so slow
that it was not until half past six that
she got outside the heads here. She
stopped few moments while the wife
of Lieutenant De Long was transferred
to the yacht Frolic. The steamers and
yachts in attendance then passed under
the stern of the Jeanette, the crowds
on board cheering Lieutenant De Long
and the expedition. The Jeannette's en-
gines again started, and in company
with the schooner Fannie A. Hyde,
which goes to Behring's sea as a coal
and provision tender, she steamed sea-

NATIONAL TOPICS.
MAINE DEMANDS THE BLOODY SHIRT,
And Sherman is Invited to Remain Outside
the State, but He viii Fire His finan-
ciaI Gun in 0hO-Postal Affairs
Ex-Governor Young.
Secretary sherman.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Secretary
Sherman has prepared two speeches,
which he will deliver in Ohio. They
treat altogether of finance, and are not
OF a political nature. Both are COM
prehensive review of the operations OF
the Resumption Law, and the financial
management of the Treasury Depart
ment under President Hayes Admins
tration. He had intended, also, to de-
liver one or two financial speeches in
Maine, but the latest advices from that
quarter are that if he comes into the
State at all sit will be much better for
him TO whoop up the skull and cross
bones," rather than to boast resumption
among the farmers, who are beginning
to feel the effects OF the skrinkage in
values.
Playing 1t Fine.
WASHINGTON, March S.-The Re
publican Congressional Campaign
Committee is advised by the Maine
State Executive Committee not to
circulate financial speeches in Maine.
The report comes from the Pine-tree
State that if the financial issue is upper
mnst, the Republicans will certainly
lose the State. Hence the Congressional
Committee here is instructed to send
bloody-shirt, rather than financial
pabulum, for the delectatiOn OF the
Maine voters.
Governor Young
did not get away until last night. His
attention was called to the published
statement that he had advised the
President TO weed the Democrats out
OF the departments here, and replace
them with Republicans. He does not
deny the truth OF having made such a
suggestion TO the President, and says it
ought to be, and probably will be en-
forced. The Governor is an Out-and-
out stalwart.

where the free delivery system is in
operation, sixty-five in number, are sec
ond class. The salaries of carriers OF
second class cities have been fixed at
$3.50 per annum, excluding auxiliary
and subordinate carriers, and their back
pay is left for adjustment. The Post
masters i'm first class cities will soon
designate CARRIERS for first and second
grades.
WASHINGTON, July S.-Col. VIM. a.
