A Question of Jurisdiction.

To the Western Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June Within the past few
days $1,000 clerkship in the Pension Bureau
having become vacant, Secretary Lamar sent
requisition to the Civil-service Commission for
the certiication of person to fill the position,
in which he requested that the commission
certify to the department the name
of a female clerk from Dakota, he
having found that the Territory had no
representation in the bureau. A reply to this
request was prepared to day by the commission,
to be forwarded to the Secretary Immediately.
In it the commission decline to make the cer:ifi-
cation as requested, and say, in substance. that
it is the province of the commission,
and not that of the Secretary of
the Interior, to name the States or
Territories from which selections shall be made
for certifcation on requisition, and with respect
to this particular appointment Dakota is not on
the list for choice of appointments, and that,
therefore, the commission will not select the
clerk from that Territory This decision will. it
is understood, be regarded by them as a prece-
dent that will govern any future cases of the
kind

Yankee Notions in London.

LONDON, June 1.-The favorite features of the
worlds exposition of inventions in London has
proved to be the American machines for making
watches and for ironing collars and cuffs. Both
are novelties in England, and are inscrutable
and fascinating mysteries to the visitors
The attractive young women who preside
over the sublimized wash-tubs and iron
ny boards of the American Laundry
Company have swarms of admirers, and
crowds surround the watch making machinery
are many British watch-makers, VINO scrutinize
the complex and dainty processes with SPELL
bound interest, and return to their posts day
after day, trying to penetrate the secrets of the
seemingly human intelligence of the glittering
little machines

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

Russia .setaliates on Germany for the Lat
ter's Expulsion of Poles.
LONDON, June 1.-The suppositon that the
expulsion of the Russian Poles from Prussian
territory, where they had settled to escape Rus
sian despotism was due to an understanding be-
tween the governments of Russia and Germany
seems to have no sufficient foundation. Russia
it appears, is anything but pleased at the action
of the Prussian authorities, and is engaged in
the execution of retaliatory measures. Many
being forced to return to their native country
Hardly any notice is given them that they will
be required to return, and much hardship and
suffering attend their expulsion. In many in
stances these refugees reach the German frontier
in destitute condition.

THE SCHOONER SHERMAN.
How She Was Burned and Her Crew Slain
by Natives of COrea

Dy Natives OF COrea.
WASHINGTON June Lieut.. George c.
Fonlk, of the navy, under date of Seoul, Corea.
March 20, has sent the Navy Department an ac-
count of the destruction of the American
schooner Sherman, and the beheading of a por-
tion of her crew on the Yellow sea coast of Corea
in 1866 The narrative was prepared from ac-
counts obtained from Corean Christian of good
standing, and is published for the first time
Lieutenant Foulk says:
'The Sherman arrived in the Felong river in
August, and anchored short distance be-
low Phyong Yang city. The Sherman was seen
from the walls of Phyong Yang and was the
cause of much excitement, but on account of
the dangerous condition of the river which was
then very high, no boat ventured near her for
some time. and when the water began to
subside, the provisional government sent officers
to inquire her mission. The common people took
advantage of the departure of these officers for
the Sherman to crafty their own curiosity, and
went with them, the whole party being in large
feet of small boats, which put out from
the shore together. The Shermans peo-
pie, not understanding the object of
the approaching expedition, considered
the movement as hostile demonstration, and
fired several shots in the air. Tie officers, ac-
companied by all the other people, at once
turned back and returned to the city The
river fell rapidly after this, and in few days
seen
from the city walls, and and another fleet
of boats came toward the schooner, this
time with hostile intent the people
being armed. Shots were again fired from the
Sherman, and the Coreans turned back as be
fore. Both officers and people of the city were
now enraged Boats were loaded with COM
bustible material and taken to points above the
schooner's anchorage. Here they were fred and
allowed to drift down upon her. The Sherman
was soon in flames. Her people jumped
overheard to save themselves, but most
of them were drowned. A few were picked up
by the Corean boats. The prisoners were
brought before the Kamsa and examined, and
they told the object of the Sherman's coming.
All efforts to save themselves were useless how
ever, and in few days they were led out of
prison and beheaded.
up to 1870 the United States government
could learn nothing of the Sherman's destruc-
ton. In that year Rear Admiral John Rodgers,
in command of the Asiatic station, was ordered
to investigate her loss. Commander Schley, of
Greedy fame, was at the time connected with the
life station, and reported to the Navy Department
that Admiral Rodgers sent messenger to the
Corean authorities giving them ten days in
which to make an explanation for firing en- the
American vessel No attention was given to the
communication. and at the expiration of ten
days the Admiral determined to secure one by
force. He took 1000 men and attacked tho
