justment Of postmasters' salaries. He
holds, that in all cases in which it
appears from the biennial readjustmeht,
that the salaries of postmasters in the third,
fourth or fifth class, that they receive 10 per
cent. more or less than they would have re-
ceived in commissions under the act Of 1854.
They are entitled, under the act OF March 3,
1888, to difference between what was
paid them and what they would have received
as commissions under the act of 1854. He
also holds that it was not the intention of
congress, by the acts of 1864 and 1866, to
dispense with the biennial readjustments. It
follows that a claimant under the act of
March 3, 1888, must show that the acts sub
sequent to 1854 deprived him Of 10 per cent.
or more of what he would have received if
those statutes had not been enacted, and he
has been compensated on the basis Of the act
of 1854. This opinion Of the attorney gen
eral is in harmony with the construction
given these statutes by the department.
THE GUN ESTABLISHMENTS.
The boundary board has submitted report
to the secretary of the navy 1t does not re-
commend the establishment of government
foundry, properly so called, but thinks the
steel manufacturers should be called upon to
provide material, and recommends the es
tablishment of two gun factories, under the
control of the government. 1t recommends
that Watervliet arsenal, West Troy, N. Y, be
selected as site for an army gun factory,
and Washington navy yard, as site for the
navy gun factory. The report concludes
as follows: 'The fact that the United States
is destitute of the means of fabricating
modern guns, SO urgently needed for the
national defense, and that at least three
years will be required to complete the tools,
construct shops and establish plant, would
seem to demand an immediate appropriation
of 81, 800, 900, in the estimate for the estab-
lishment Of the proposed gun factories"
In describing trip abroad, the board states
that request made by the latter, to be per
mitted to visit the Krupp gun establishment
in Prussia, was refused.

ppeCldI 1eleSTdu W Iue Olope.
Mt. OREB, O., Feb. 16 Two years ago,
Perry Green and Bill Irons, two young fel-
lows about 81 years of age, were sent to the
penitentiary for numbering an old man at
Georgetown. Their term has just expired
and they returned to their old homes.
They were seen skulking about streets here
last evening. Soon after midnight the cry
of fire was raised and the sky was illumined
by bright blaze. Before daylight five of the
principal grocery and dry goods stores in the
heart of the town were in ashes. In fact the
business part of the town is destroyed. The
fire was undoubtedly incendiary, and sus-
picion at once fell on Green and Irons. A
meeting of citizens has just been held and a
reward of $500 has been offered for their ap-
prehension. They are not now to be found,
and it would not be safe for them to appear
within range of the citizens.

NoreJ Reading Made Odio,ss.

A bitter wag, made angry by the ever in
creasing output of novels, has devised a new
and malignant antidote for the appetite for
romance. He declares that he will write
supplement to every modern love story, to be
sold at half price, setting forth the matrimo-
nial adventures and experience of the hero
and the heroine. The sweet and pathetic
maiden with mild blue eyes and golden hair
is to be developed into the fat and ruddy
shrew, with tendency to quarrel with her
husband and row her servants. The gallant
gentleman with shs long mustache and the
silver voice is, on his part, to be ruthlessly
pictured marching up and down his bedroom
in airy attire, with squalling baby in his
arms, redolent of sour milk and catnip The
will of the rich old uncle, which brings
wealth and happiness at the end of the first
volume, will be proved forgery in thh sec
ond. What with the upsetting of every pretty
conVentionatlty and the disclosure of the in
evitable conditions into which no well-bred
novelist eyer follows his characters, this

The Wahpeton Gazette has runner that
the Manitoba proposes to run an extension to
Fargo from Browns Valley, keeping twelve
or fifteen miles west of the Fargo Southern
most of the way, and lessening the distance
between Fargo and st. Paul fourteen miles
OF so. While there is nothing very improb-
able in the scheme, it is not likely that the
Manitoba will convert the rumor into history
this year.

A LOyal Welcome.

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-Archbishop Feehan re-
turned from his visit to Pope Leo this after
noon, arriving by special train. He was well
coined at the depot by Mayor Harrison and
special representatives of the Catholic bodies.
He was escorted to the Episcopal palace by a
procession numbering $4,000, composed of
the Catholic societies in regalia, and the Irish
military, with numerous bands. Notwith-
standing the inclement weather, and the ex-
ceedingly sloppy streets, over 100000 people
congregated atong the three mile line of
march to witness the parade. With the ex-
ception of general Grants welcome, to-day's
exceeds anything of the kind previously wit
messed in Chicago
When the head of the procession reached
the Cathedral of the Holy Name, on the North
side, the rear of the line had not yet began
to march from st. Patrick's cathedral on the
West side, a distance of nearly six miles.
Arriving at the Cathedral of the Holy Name,
the archbishop entered the sanctuary and
held service. His replies to addresses were
entirely of congratulatory nature, convey
ing the thanks and blessing of the pope to
his followers, the people and city of Chicago.

THOSE RESOLUTIONS OF COINCIDENCE.
The state department has not received in
formation corroborative of the report that
Bismarck had returned the resolutions of
coincidence on Herr Lasker's death to the
German minister here, with instructions to
return them to congress. Secretary Freling-
huysen has telegraphed the minister at Ber-
lin for information, but has not yet received
a reply. The secretary is inclined to doubt
the truth of the fact in view of the fact that
neither he nor the German minister has been
informed of any such action by Bismarck.
