which hitherto have been compelled TO
depend upon the slow and unsatisfactory

Alibl-Sahub-Pasha ordered all the various

their present condition and detailed several

reports have been received and show that
under Ghazei Osman pasha, late Minister
Of War, who was dismissed September 25,
the army was almost entirely neglected and
large sums OF money voted for military
purposes we're used In other ways than
those for which they were meant Inquiry
has revealed that tho Adrianople

strong. contains not half that number.
The soldiers have no uniforms and are shoe

owing to lack Of horses and necessary ac-

1000 men, who have been fally equipped,
are under orders to march at an hours

WASHINGTON, October 5.--The Post

Greeted to distant locality, not post

carried away from the Office Of mailing,
such matter will be returned andreturn post.
age charged when a return request is found
upon the wrapper. The claim has been set
up by persons Interested that such matter
should not have been sent out from the
post~ofice where II was mailed, but should
have been returned TO the sender for better
directions. The department holds, how.
ever, that the sender should suffer for his
own neglect In not properly addressing the
matter.
The Postofice Department is in receipt
OF a number Of inquiries relative to the
operation Of the executive order made by
General Grant In 1872 forbidding Federal
officials tc hold State or municipal Offices
Representations are made that many OF the
newly appointed postmasters are members
OF boards OF supervisors and aldermen or
hold other small municipal Offices that do
not make heavy demands OF tlieir time and
pay little or no salary. In such cases
where the municipal office doe not later
fere with the duties Of the pOs.s..astors Il
is urged that the executive order might be
relaxed.
An unmarried lady, aged between eigh-
teen and twenty-one years, was recently
appointed postmstress of an Illinois town.
Interested persons have made the point that
the appointment Is illegal because she could
not give a perfect bond. In Illinois a
women Is of full age at eighteen, but
under the common law which, it is asserted,
governs this case, twenty-one years is the
age OF majority. The department. how
ever, has decided that the lady Is eligible
because under the common law the sureties
for minor can be held pecuniarily respon-
sible.
The Postmaster General has made the
following announcement of the policy Of
the department In regard to the treatment
OF letters bearing special delivery stamps
received in the post-ofiices on Sunday. 1T
Is not expected by the department that the
postmasters shall require messengers In the
special delivery service to report for duty
on Sunday, nor to keep their Offices open to
any different extent than is now provided
for By the regulations and usage for special
delivery purposes"
