THE Hull INQUIRY.

Geo. H. Parker, Herman Kiefer, and a
number of other citizens of Detroit, Mich,
have written a letter to Secretary Folger,
complaining of the manner in which Su-
pervising Architect Hill discharged his
duty as head of the commission to which
the selection of site for the public build
ing in that city was intrusted. Specific
charges are made in a letter as follows: -;
We accuse Architect Hill,
First-Of coming to determine question so
momentous to this large and growing city with
out adequate notice
Second-Utter want of business method in
the inauguration and conduct of the whole pro-
ceeding.
Third-Undue and soandalous haste in the
disposition of the matter involving the expendi-
ture of several hundred thousand dollars and
the honor OF the United States government for
ta1r, square dealing with its own citizens who
were not given fair opportunity to be heard.
Fourth-Violating his pledge to visit and uer-
sonally examine and inspect different localities:
and
-Prejudgment, whether corrupt or not
amounting to foregone conclusion and making
the proceedings of the commission a dignified
farce.
INTERNAL REVENUE DISTRICTS.
A great deal has been said lately in
Washington dispatches about the consoli-
dation of internal reveaue districts. In
fact more has been said than the facts ius
titled Acting Commissioner Rogers was
asked to-day what there was in the talk
about consolidation. He said: ''RealIy
very little. The secretary of the treasury
requested me to draw up some suggestions
relative to reducing the districts. The OBJ
ject was simply to inform the president
and secretary of the present condition of
the districts. I suggested consultations
where thought districts could be CONSOLE
dated without detriment to the public SER
vice. In all think suggested that about
thirty districts be consolidated. This is
about all there is in the matter"
The internal revenue receipts for the
year will amount to $144,000,OOO, $4,000
600 less than last year.

A Dreadful Fate.

The steamer Grappler, plying between
Puget Sound and Alaska, was burned on
the Sd inst, and sixty lives are reported
lost. The steamer burned four miles off
Seymour Narrows. The fire being dis
covered, the engineer Immediately re-
ported to the captain. The 100 passen-
gers, principally Cinnamon, were all
abed. Immediate search was made by
the captain, who discovered fire back of
the boiler connections. The, engineer
started the donkey and connected the
hose. By this time the passengers were
warned and the excitement was intense,
the Cinnamon behaved like maniacs, be-
ing utterly uncomfortable. and impeding
the officers. The captain ordered all shot
who refused to obey orders. Not
withstanding this, the Cinnamon rushed
backward and forward on tie vessel
until it was found necessary TO
knock some down and carry below
others, ironed. All this time the fire
was gaining and efforts to con-
troll it were entirely unavailing. The
captain ordered Pilot franklin to head
the steamer for the Vancouver shore
and beach her. AS soon as the sands
were struck boats were lowered, but the
excitement was SO great that the China
men jumped into the boats and swamp.

Care or Harness.

There is very general neglect in the
care of farm harness. 1t is not only
economy to keep the harness we'll oiled
but it is much more comfortable to both
team and driver to have the leather soft
and yielding.
The following sensible hints on oiling
harness we take from an exchange:
There are many different applications
used and different modes are adopted
for employing them. A common way is
first to wash thoroughly with soap and
warm water, and then to apply heats
foot oil. as the best oil for the purpose.
But different course is adopted by
others. One team manager Informs us
that the first thing 10 do is always TO ap-
ply one or two coats of castor oil with
enough lamp black to give proper color.
BY thus saturating the leather with oil
first, the soap and water applied AFTER
wards do not penetrate it, and when
leather is permitted to absorb water it
hardens it and excludes the oil. By oil
ing first, the dirt is softened, so that it is
easily washed off, and this obviates
much ofthe scraping otherwise required.
and the whole operation may be per-
formed at once. After being oiled, wash
it with q sponge and soap suds, and
when dry, rub over it a mixture of equal
parts of oil and tallow, colored with
lamp black, and a small portion of Prus-
sian blue. Owners Of harness often
think they haven't time to care for har-
ness in ths way named, but it is the
haven't time" that keeps them poor.

Destitute Irish Emigrants for
Minnesota.

Montreal special: A genuine spec
linen on an extensive scale of
Irish restitution and miserable poverty
was witnessed in Montreal recently by
the arrival of 300 immigrants from Con-
nemara county, en- route to St. Paul,
Mimi, with the intention of settling in
that state. They were accompanied by
a young priest, to whom they looked for
consul and assistance, as they were all
in an impecunious condition. Their APP
pearance was indeed miserable IN the
extreme. Each was poorly clad for
this climate, and great many were
without shoes. They were mostly in
families, and seemed careworn and
emaciated. Even the train hands were
afraid to enter the cars until hose was
applied to wash out the interior. The
party is an installment of those sent out
by the Tukes committee. 1t will take
them considerable time to recuperate
their wasted strength before they can
go to work vigorously on lands. Owing
to their being for the States. the Cana
dian authorities did not provide them
with food, as is done en- route with their
own immigrants.

A Noted Kentucky Shooter.

Washington Special Thompson,
the Kentucky congressman who shot
Walter Davis at Harrodsburg, Friday, at
the age of sixteen went into Morgan's
cavalry and enjoys the reputation of
having killed three federal soldiers in
different personal encounters. Walter
Davis is said to be the sixth man whom
he has shot since the war. A curious
fact is that every one of the victims was
shot through the head. There has been
an old feud between the Thompson's and
Davis's. Half a dozen years ago, while
Phil was prosecuting attorney, the two
families had trouble, and one day when
Phil. his father and his brother we're in
the court room the old man Davis and
his three sons came in. War seems to
have been understood in advance.
When the battle was over it was found
that one of the Thompson boys was
killed two of the Davis were dead and q
third fatally injured. Phil had shot two
of the Davis victims through the head,
in accordance with his invariable Gus
tom.

Great Prosperity in Mexico,

Great Prosperity in Mexico.
The state department will publish in a
few days the annual report of Consul
General Strother, of Mexico. In it he
says the republic is enjoying degree of
material prosperity heretofore unknown
in her history. The successful initiation
of the extensive system on railroad COM
munication has given a stimulus to all
branches of industry, the results of
which it would be difficult to estimate.
Mining is increasing to an extraordin-
airy degree, both in extent and variety.
The stimulus given to the agricultural
interest has been equally notable. The
culture of the cereals, corn, wheat and
barley, has been greatly increased, as
has been likewise the planting Of sugar
cane, cotton, tobacco and coffee. The
increased demand for American agricul-
tural implements and machinery is the
natural result of this revival in agricul-
ture throughout the country. Steps are
being taken to introduce better breeds
of cattle, horses, Sheppard poultry. An
extensive dealer in American arms and
agricultural implements says that, while
formerly he sold 500 worth of warlike
arms and munitions to SIC of agricultural
tools, the proportions are now reversed.

wrath about it, and intimates that our

Sargent intimates to his own govern

that, while Americans would not force

health, we ought not to submit to an ex-
clusion of our products under false pre-

Collecting Secret News.

Another Of the peculiar occupations
of Washington is one in which some of
this same class of men are supposed to
be engaged. This is the collection of
secret news for brokers and spectators
in Wall Street. Ifany action is about to
be taken by any committee Of congress
or by the treasury department which is
at all likely to affect the stock market,
it is of great importance to brokers there
to get an advance intimation of it, if pos
sible. Men who have large political
acquaintanceship have facilities for drop
ping into the secrets of committees and
departments which are not 80 likely to
be enjoyed by other people; but as a
rule the men employed for work of this
kind are keen newspaper men who do
not correspond with papers requiring all
their time. Some of them have grown

San Francisco Elevator Horror.

San Francisco Elevator Horror.
Saturday afternoon horrible accident
occurred in the elevator-shaft of the Ne
vada block, San Francisco, resulting in
the instant death of lady. The eleva-
tor was ascending with the lady. gen.
tleman and the elevator-boy. While
midway the elevator caught and refused
to 60 either up or down. The boy
opened the skyight and got on the TOP
of the elevator, and intending to get the
lady out, managed to get her up, and
also proceeded to open the doors lead
ing out to the second floor. AS she
stuck her head out the elevator gave
violent jerk upward, and before she
could extricate herself. or even utter a
cry, her head and neck were caught be-
tween the framework of the shaft. The
elevator boy grabbed the rope, but the
cage assembled several feet before it was
stopped, carrying the upper part of the
woman's bcdy with it. squeezing it into
space six inches wide. An examine
ton shows that the neck of the unfortu-
nate woman wss broken. Her face was
horribly disfgured, the nasal bone was
torn off and the eyes torn out of their
sockets.

The receipts into the national treasury
for the month just closed were $26, 1884,

pared with April of 1882, was $780,, 07O
For the period of ten months ending
April 80. there is a very striking de-
crease, compared with the same period
for 1882. For the ten months of the fis-

were 1928, $780, 1856. For the same period
of last year the total was 1888 ,230, SO1, a
falling off of $780, 45. The Washington
authorities, as usual, are alarmed at the
alling off, and fear that the treasury
will run behind during the current
months, and say that no more bond
calls can be made during the fiscal year,
and that the reduction of the public
debt is probably practically stopped for
the present. But the falling off will have
to be much larger, than any yet report

The butter market, according to a
Vermont paper, has never been so de-
moralized as it is this spring. Tons up
on tons of old butter which cost an av
erage of 80 cents per pound have been
thrown on the market, recently, after
being held all winter for high prices,
and it is estimated that Boston dealers
and shippers will lose from $500, 900 to
$750,O00 on their purchases. Several
thousand tubs of old butter are held by
the farmers of Northern Vermont. and
they are now glad to get ten cents a
pound for what they refused thirty-f7e
for last winter. The decrease in tho de-
mand for export, and diminished call
from the west, have been the principal
reasons why the price did not advance
as was expected.

DUBLIN. May 2.-Patrick Delaney and
Thomas Caffrey, two more of the men
charged with participation in the murder Of
Cavendish and Burke, were arraigned for
trial this morning. They created a eensa-
ton by pleading guilty. Both were sentenc-
ed to be hanged June 2. Before Caffrey had
pleaded guilty he was informed nv his So
licitors that the crown gave no hope of
mitigation of the sentence of death, which
would be passed upon him. When Delaney

It is believed that the number of inn
migrants this year will be 100000 less
than during 1882, owing to better times
abroad and increased remuneration for
labor. The immigration of the last few
years must have relieved the over
crowded labor fields of the old world, to
a much greater extent than is generally
supposed. This relief, however is only
temporary. The natural increase of
population will soon place things as they
were. and then immigration will come
in again as the only security against star
walton. The swarming population of
Europe can only be kept alive by an
open outlet for the surplus and average
crops. A failure of either for few
seasons would make famine and starva-
ton
