signal service Matters.

washington, q General Hazen,
chief signal officer, in his annual re-
port, says: The past. year has been
distinguished by additional pro-
gress and decided improvement.
Referring to the weather forecasts
made this year, for the first time In
the interest of cotton growers, Cen
eral Hazen says: Congress did not
appropriate the amount carefully
estimated as necessary to meet the
expense OF the increased work, and
| was unwillingly compelled to re-
duce the number of stations to 100.
selected from the 24S promised,
which are SO situated as to best
cover the latter belt. I earnestly
hope that Congress will this year
provide the funds necessary for a
great extension of this special feat
ure of the signal service, which
promises, with very small expendi-
ture, such great practical advan-
tages to staple interests of the
south"
General VIM. B. Hazen, chief sig
nal officer, has transmitted to the
secretary Of war his annual report
of the operations of the signal
corps for the year 1881. Hazen calls
attention to the fact that the present
weather service for the Pacific
Coast IS inadequate and inefficient,
and recommends that specially in
stracted officer of the signal corps
be stationed at San Francisco, in
order that he may make a particular
study Of the Pacific meteorology,
and prepare and send out from that
city indications of the weather and
wind for the entire coast. This,
Hazen thinks, will be a much bet
ter plan than the recent one of send
ing weather forecasts for the Pacific
Coast from Washington.
| General Hazen notes the deduc-
tons made of weather conditions
fer the day succeeding that for
which the forecast is made, and
says: If the result of these studies Is
sufficiently successful, the indies
lions will, IN time, be issued for all
districts for periods Of more than
one day. General HaZen calls
especial attention to the value Of
river reports, and says: The opinion
is again expressed that, with proper
study, of river floods, and with sta
tons properly placed, reporting at
times of especial danger, it can be
made almost impossible for food To
follow river course without notice
being given as coming in advance to
localities threatened. Frost warn
ings, now telegraphed to New Or
leans for the benefit of the sugar
interest, will be extended for the
benefit Of the orange interests of
Florida, and the fruit interests at
| other points.

New York, 1.-The wrecking Of
the Mechanics National Bank of
Newark seems already an almost
forgotten affair. President Sher-
man. of the Mechanics National
Bank, New York agency of the
broken bank, says the losses of his
bank are small.
A Washington correspondent
says: The bank defalcation caused
the President to call the attention
of the acting secretary of the treas
ury to the system of banking exam
nations He says the Newark de-
falcation shows either that
bank examiners are Inefficient, or
their inspection of the books of
national banks is merely nominal,
or their inspections are so infre-
quent as to be of no practical ac-
count in detecting frauds.

Foreign Miscellany.

st. Petersburg, 2.-Five employees
at the Catchina, have been arrested,
and one revealed a plot to repeat at
Gatchina, the Winter Palace ex-
plosion, when the attempt was made
to kill the late Gar. Many naval
officers recently received copies of
the resolution summoning them TO
join the cause of liberty and justice.
London, 2.-The first complete
train, carrying 100 passengers,
passed through the st. Gothard tun-
Rel ia fifty minutes.
Dublin, a. The archbishop Of
Limerick, who is strenuously OPP
posed to the no rent manifesto, has
signified to Father Sheehy the de-
STABILITY of prolenging his absence
from his diocese during the present
agitation.

rection of the United ireland and

Now York, 2.-Clearing house eX-
changes for the week show that the
business transactions for the past
week were again generally wy
much larger than for the CORES
ponding week last year. Only two
small cities show a decrese, Mem
phis. of 7 6-10 per cent, and SYRIA
cuse of 2-1O. All the others have
gained. The Public says: These
returns indicate great activity in
business. Kansas City, on account
of its large dealings in cattle and
grain, and its growing manufac-
lures and wholesale trade, is becom-
ing a city of greater commercial
Importance than many which boast
Of a larger population. Boston
maintains a more steady rate of in
crease than any other city Of the
first class. The gains at San Fran
cisco, Cincinnati, Louisville a1d
Pittsburg are Indicative of large
and healthy growth in commerce
and manufacturing.

LAT EST TELEGRAMS.
SPAIN
Sagasta's Course Finds Able
.e Support,

Madrid, 2.ASenor Portusndo, dep
uty for Havana, a most liberal par
tisan OF Cuban autonomy, in favor
of government under the sway of
Spain, like that of Canada or Aus
tralia under English rule, made a
speech in the Cortes criticising the
policy Of the liberal government, its
delays in carrying out reforms, it's
hesitation in treating with the pre-
cedents and with the officials of
Canovas' government, its detention
OF so many Cuban prisoners in
Europe, the indulgence of abuses in
colonial administration and its
playing into the hands Of the
creole conservatives and planters,
ever subservient to the Madrid
government on condition of being
allowed their own way on the
island.
Leony y. Castillon, minister of the
colonies, in long speech upbraided
the impatience and ingratitude of
Cuban liberals. He enumerated
what the Sagasta cabinet had done
in seven months for Cuba. The
constitution was promulgated, the
censorship of the press abolished,
the press laws Of Spain implanted,
military dictatorship made I'M
possible, more liberties allowed than
existed in the Spanish and Anne
rican republics and a court of
accounts was established. We are
about to send out, he added: GA law
regulating the promotion and adj
mittance to civil and other employ
ments under the crown law, and
allowing public functionaries to be
sued without the permission Of the
home government. In the budget
while largely reducing the expenses
we also Introduce extensive tariff re-
forms to satisfy the colonial opin-
ion. Can we go further? and would
the CHbans even admit the
CONSUMPTION of many of oul
heavy import and excise du
duties we have made them citizens
of Spain. with equal laws and lib
critics, and now even with coasting
trade between Spain aid Cuba, and
in years all duties will be abolished
On their imports in the Peninsula
| AS regards an autonomy, CastilloB.
amidst much applause from both
democratic and republican groups,
declared he considered an autonomy
as danger, as it would lead III a
short time to separation from the
mother country. Autonomy is ire
vocably impossible; the old col
onial regime is equally impossible.
Between these two exaggerations
stands our policy of sincere and
practical assimilation W Ae
limits of what is poss le
colony. Did the Spa >
cracy give you more y le
ofIsthe revolution of SEP Ber?"
The Madrid press, in every Shade
of political opinion, praises this
clear explanation of S lgasta's CO.
lonial policy, and all parties in Snain
are evidently opposed to Creole self
government.
