THE POSTAL SERVICE.
The examination of applicants for posi-
tons as Postotfice Inspectors has been con-
cluded Ninety-two applicants were exam
ined. Several days will be required to
determine the standing of candidates. The
Postmaster-G General accorded interviews to
would-be Inspectors to-day, with a view OF
forming an opinion as TO their fitness for
appointment from personal observation.
The second annual adjustment of post
masters salaries under the Act of March 3,
1884, and the first on the basis Of the two
cent rate of postage for four quarters, has
just been completed. Cincinnati is the
only office showing any considerable change
in compensation. and the reduction of
81 600 in the salary there was caused by a
slight falling off in receipts that made
necessary the reduction of the salary from
$1,000 to $1,000. The annual adjustment
of the salaries of Presidential postmasters
has been submitted to the Postmaster Gen
eral. II shows that the total number of
Presidential postotfices on July LIST will be
2,231, a decrease of l22 compared with the
beginning of tie present fiscal year. Dur
ing the year twelve became Presidential
and on July LIST 1874 offices will be reduced
from Presidential to fourth class. The ag-
gregate annual salaries of all the Presiden-
tial postmasters for the next fiscal year will
be 81. 627, 800.

the race. but it was not allowed by the
Judges. From the reporters stand it

Duffy at the three-quarter post, but 1t did
not seem grounds for foul. There was
