Spanish Commercial Treaty.
1t is said that Col. John W. Foster, who
represents this Government in Spain has
failed to negotiate second commercial
treaty between Spain aHd the United States
He is expected 10 return at an early date.
Col Foster was sent to Spain about two
months ago with instructions to negotiate a
new commercial treaty in place of the one
which he had previously negotiated and
which was considered by the Senate. The
proposed new treaty as agreed to by the
new administration did not differ greatly
from the first. Changes were in the inter
est of the business msn Of this country, and
we're principally in relation thereto. Span
ish officials have not looked tavorsbly upon
second treaty The Minister of Foreign
Affairs especially, was indisposed 10 nego
tate. He thought, and 80 intimated that
the first treaty should have had iual
consideration by the Senate; that it should
have been either ratified or rejected, aud
not Withdrawn. In bis Argument with
Foster on the proposed second treaty he
took the ground that Spain had agreed to
one reciprocity treaty that the United
States had not acted upon, and that under
these circumstances his government could
lot continue negotiations The first treaty
it viii be remembered, elected much dis.
cussiOn in the newspapers after its pubiCs
ton, and considerable opposition to it was
manifested. 1t was also antagonized in
the senate.
Mr Stevemsnn's Work.
Mr.. Stevenson, new First Assistant Post
master General, has been compelled to re-
vive the rule practiced by his predecessor,
Mr. Hay, limiting the time for receiving
visitors to the hours between 10 and Y
o'clock each day. The adoption Of this
course is necessary to secure an opportunity
to attend to the business Of the office. SjnCe
Mr. Stevenson assumed the duties he has
been az his desk almost every night until
midnight and the results Of bis labors are
apparent in the great increase in the mum.

a New Postofiice Manual.
General Br ant and Messr5. Mcdonald
and Sharpe Of the PostcGice Department,
are now preparing manual of instruction
for the guidance of postotiice inspectors.
The manual in use now was compiled in
l-12, and has become we'll nigh useless
though many changes made in the laws and
postal regulations since that date. There
s disposition on the part OF the Cabinet
to discontinue the allowance of sick leaves
under pay to employees. An impression
prevails that serious abuses have
grown up in connection with allowance of
such leaves and it is believed that the sys-
tenn should be rearranged as to enable dis
tribution among worthy employees who are
working extra hours in addition to rendering
stead service throughout the year OF money
that il now paid out during sick leaves to
that class OF employees who lose many days
sometimes exceeding $50 in each year
from alleged disability. 1t is probable that
these views may take practical shape in
general order in all executive departments.
