Notes from Washington.

WAsHIEGT0N, Nov. 12.-Geo. w. Click
was appointed to-day to be pension agent
at Topeka. kansas. He IS u.eil-i5aovl
rs the Ex-Governor OF that state.
The civil service commission has to-
day directed the board Of examiners at
New York to certify to the collector in the
case Of the examination for the reigher
the whole number, at once, Of those
found eligible for appointment some
thirty. placing disabled soldiers first in
the order Of their grade.
This was unanimous decision Of the
commission, and there being no division
of opinion among the members as to the
wisdom in this particular case Of having
the entire list of eligibles certified 20 the
appointing power, giving disabled sol
diers the IT. q. nee, to which they
were entitled under the law. The indi-
vidual members Of the commission de
cline to say what reasons influenced
them in reaching this conclusion except
that they deemed it ''wisest and best in
this particular case" to make such ruling.
Their reasons will be subject to delay and
they say that when the result is known
the public will be satisfied. The decision
in this case, President E1gertOn says
does not abolish or in any way affect the
rule requiring. the CertiiicatiOn of the
four highest graded applicants in the list
of eligibles, when avacancy occurs either
in the department service here or Gus
toms or postal service throughout the
country.
The collector OF customs at san Fran
cisco informs the treasury department
that a number of the Chinese IabOrcrs
landed at New York in June last in tran
sit to San Francisco, where they were to
take a steamer for China, have not been
heard from since their arrival in New
York and the suppOsitiOn is that they
are concealed III this country and have
no intention Of leaving. It is said at the
trearury department that there are no
available funds which can be used to
trace them.
Superintendent Macdonald, chief of
the money order division of the post Of
flee, in his annual report. says: Per
haps one of the best Indications OF the
stIingency and general business depres-
sion Of the times IS the decrease in the
amount of money transmitted by means
of money orders during the past fiscal
year. The decrease il the amount OF in
er-colinial money orders issued points to
to conclusion that the foreign-born
workman, who habitually RENTS q Por-
ton of his surplus earnings to needy rel
atives in his native country, has found
it more difficult Of late to accumulate"
small sAvings."

The SimIn = Mystery.

| Sanford journal.
The disappearance of c. L. Simms. on
the 2}rd of October and the subsequent
| finding of his dead body in the St. Johns
| river. still remains shrouded in mystery.
| Only one circumstance has trauspirld
which tends to throw any li-htupon tho
subject. and that is that passengers who
| came up on the steamer Belle OF the
| Coast on Saturday morning after the
| disappearance Of Simn5 on Friday af-
| ternoon. state that while passing the
mouth of the Welliva they heard the
voice of a man calling for help. The
machinery was stopped, but it was not
| heard again until the engines were start
ed: the engines were stopped q second
time. still nothing was heard, and the
| boat proceeded on her way. and nothing
more was thought Of it until after the
| body of S,mms was found in the river
| Just below VIII re the voice was heard.
| when the two circumstances were very
| naturally connected together. The the
/ DRY is that SImms was trying to reach
| the bank of the river in order to hail the
| boat. and was WadIng as lar out as ne
could go. the water being all over the
bank at that place, when he suddenly
got into the river and beyond his depth.
and being exhausted by wandering in
| the woods all night, was too weak to
| swim. and was soon drowned. This does
away with the idea of foul play, and is
very reasonable solution of the mystery.
The Enterprise Herald, in allndinS to
the matter, says the jury came to the CON
clusion that he had been foully murder
ed before getting into the river; this IS a
mistake The verdict of the jury was
that Simms came to his death by some
means unknown to the jury. We make
this correction as We do not wish a wrong
impression to so out in regard to the
matter.

THE SUGAR MARKET.

New York advices are as follows: Retln-
ers have continued to supply their wants
sparingly and the business reported in spot
stock is of narrow proportions, but holders
entertain firm views and have shown no
disposition to sell except at full prices.
There has been no improvement III the out
let for refined, and accordingly rehners
have had no occasion to increase their
daily MEETINGS, while their purchases OF
raw material have been as heretofore, al
most wholly of a hand TO mouth character.
The arrivals continue light, and the s1tIfN-
ton is in sellers favor. European advlces
continue favorable, and the London market
is a tribe firmer and quOtably higher than
early in the week The market for beet
has remained quiet, values being too much
above BUYERS views to admit of business

Louisiana Crop.-We hear little about it

Havana, November 21st.-Owing to con
