Expectation of Conyicts.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-A German
American who has been travelling in Europe
has been looking into the expectation of
convicts from Europe to this country, and
has found that in several places benevolent
societies exist for the purpose of aiding dis
charged convicts to come to this country
and start anew. The information he OBJ
tained has been laid before Assistant Secre-
tary of State Porter and the state depart
ment will instruct our consuls and ministers
in Europe to investigate the subject more
thoroughly. Convicts. except for political
offenses, are excluded from this country by
an act of congress naSsed in 1850

Cleveland and Mcclellan.
Special to the Globe.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-Since the pres
ident found that he would have to recog-
nize the civil service commission, he has re-
peatedly said that if he could only have
Gen. Mcclellan on the commission he
should feel perfectly satisfied, and on
Wednesday last an intimate friend of the
general spent some time at the White
house in conversation with the president,
and was requested by the latter to ascertain
if the general would accept place on the
commission. That very night Gen. McClel-
Ian died. Col. Lamont said to-day that
the president had long entertained
a very high opinion of Gen.
Mcclellan, and who was of great service to
him when the president was governor of
New York. He had a strong desire to have
the general in his cabinet, but the fact that
a delegation of prominent New Jersey Dem
ocrats urged the appointment of Attorney
General Stockton made it seem impolite to
take some other citizen of New jersey into
the cabinet. 1t was not decided what place
Gen. Mcclellan was to have if he went into
the cabinet Subsequently the president
offered Gen. Mcclellan the mission to Rus
sia, and it was declined. 1t is universally
recognized that no better selection than
Gen. Mcclellan could have been made
for civil service commissioner. Every
Democrat would have been entirely satisfied.

MIR. Villas and the Special Delivery.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3O.-Postmaster General
Villas. en- route from Wisconsin to Washing
ton, stopped long enough in Chicago yester-
day afternoon to pay his respects to Post
master Judd. Gen. Villas declined to be in
terviewed, but being asked to give an opin-
ion concerning the probable special delivery
service, said:
So far as the special delivery service has
been tested the results are gratifying, and
the indications are that it will become popu-
lar, but it is still an experiment. 1t was in
stituted as an experiment, and trial of one
month is not sufficient to warrant predic-
ton of its ultimate success or failure. 1t is
the Intention of the department to make it a
success if possible, and to spare no effort that
is authorized by the law in that direction.
Gen. Villas left for Washington on the
evening train

WASHINGTON, Oct 3O.-In recent de-
cision Secretary Lamar holds that the
selection by railroad company of lands
within its indemnity limits and certifcation
of the same to the state for the benefit of
the railroad company, divests the United

This decision reverses the practice hitherto
prevalent in the general land Office.

what the Ukase Really Means.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-It is said at the
White house to-day that the executive Or
der of the president giving notice that he
will hereafter decline to see all persons
seeking official appointments, or their ad-
vocates, and limiting to certain hours
on Mondays. Wednesdays and Fridays
the time when he will grant interviews on
other public matters does not mean the ap-
pointments are to be lesseGed, but it is in
tended to direct those who desire personal
interviews with the appointing power to
the proper heads of departments, whose
recommendations guide the president in his
appointments. These recommendations, it
is said, have in the past been invariably OBJ
served, and the interviews with applicants
and their friends have consumed almost the
entire time of the president and been of no
use to them or him

nual report to the secretary of the interior
upon the operations of the labor bureau
since its establishment, Commissioner Car
roll d. Wright begins with statement of
the organization of the bureau and review
of the line of policy outlined for the con-
duct of its Investigations. The principal
features of that policy were refusal to
recognize parties; that the bureau should be
disconnected from politics and from de-

no land in Colorado, for it has built no road
there, but it filed with the secretary of the
interior in 1872, and with the commissioner
of the general land Office in 1874, maps of
its route, showing line from Colorado
river across California to the Pacific ocean

Our weapons of Defense.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-The annual re-
port of Gen. Bennett chief of ordnance.
United States army, is to-day made public.
Total expenditures of the bureau during
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1885, were
81, S31. GA. During the year 40, ,657 rifles,
carbines and shot-guns have been manufac-
tured at the national armory. The in
creased interest in the regular army in tar
get firing and its results are referred to.
Gen. Bennett treats the question of the
state militia at some length, and urges that
inasmuch as the largest part of the availa-
BILE force of the country is to be made up of
this class more ample provision should be
made for the maintenance and eff
cheney of that body. He calls
attention to the unorganized condi-
ton of the militia of the District
of Columbia, being made of separate COM
panies with no general head, and suggests
that this should be remedied with view to
defense of the capital should an emer-
gency arise. AS to the forging of heavy
cannon, he says he believes the iron men
of the country would undertake to get the
necessary plant in readiness within year,
and that within eighteen months they could
begin to deliver the rough-fnished forgings.

The American Farm i'm Corea.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 3O.-Ensign
George G. Foulke, United States Navy,
charge d'affaires at Zonl, Corea, in report
to the secretary of state, describes the
so styled American farm" established by
the king of Corea in 1888, upon the return
of the Corean embassy from the United
States. The farm is in thrifty and -four
ishing condition. 1t was planted with
seeds presented to the embassy by the
American commission Of agriculture. Last
year the entire crop was allowed to go to
seed after very successful season. Large
quantities of all the varieties were obtained,
which were later distributed to more than
800 localities, accompanied by directions for
planting and use. The farming of these
sections this year has been very successful.
The American farm has been successfully
stocked with blooded animals from Cali
fornia, and Mr.. Foulke believes but needs
the advice of a competent Western farmer
to become infinitely beneficial to that coun-

IT WAS AGREED BETWEEN THEM
that they should leave their fight to the
state delegation to settle and abide the
results. The case trembled in the balance
for considerable time, but finally Ben
Lefevre was authorized to cast Mr.. Fol-
let's vote for Leedom, and he was selected
as the unanimous choice of the Ohio dele
cation. He seems not likely to have much
of a struggle this time. For the position of
doorkeeper to succeed the lamented Jim
Wintersmith, the race seems to be between
Sam Donaldson of Tennessee and John
Trainer of New York. Veteran observers
say that if the race were to come off to-day,
Donaldson would win. Trainer is very
shrewd and keen witted fellow, with
Tammany training and backing and there
is no telling what combinations he may
make For postmaster, the present official,
Lycurgus Dalton of Indiana, will doubt
less be reelected, as will also the
present chaplain, Rev. DIR. Lindsay.

support of economic theories, individual
views OF class interests. The commissioner
believes that this policy generally has been
approved throughout the country. The inyes-
legations outlined related to the questions of
industrial depression, involving study of
their character, their causes, and whether
as to duration, severity and periodicity they
are all alike in the great producing coun-
tries. Such an investigation included the
question of the influence of depressions on
the cost of living, the extent to which in
dustries are involved, the cost of production
as Influenced by the use Of machinery and
other kindred questions. Between March
IL and June 81 twenty special agents were
appointed. and at the close of the fiscal
year fifteen of these agents were actively
employed in the United States and five in
Europe collecting the information required.
The results of the Investigations will be en-
bodied in the first annual report of the bu-
reau, which will be submitted early in the
coming year.

Senator CulIom's Roseate picture.

e..
CHICAGO, Oct. 3O.-United States Sena-
tor Shelby NJ, Cullom arrived at the Grand
Pacific hotel this morning from Iowa,
where he has beeu paying some attention to
Republican interests. Senator Cullom said
the Republicans would undoubtedly carry
Iowa by a large majority, and that the pro-
hlbltion fight of the Democrats would in
reality prove a setback for them, as it did
IN Ohio. AS to New York, Davenport had
a strong lead for the governorship and
there was not the slightest danger of his
defeat unless the industrial classes should
go with the Democrats, and of this there
was no indication at present. Senator Cul-
l0m was asked if he apprehended a fight in
the senate this winter upon the presidents
appointments, and he replied as follows:
There will undoubtedly be objections raised
to the confirmation of some of the president S
land appointees. 1t will not be personal
onslaught, but the propriety of making some
changes that have been made will be ques-
toned in the same manner as has been Gus
tomary under Republican administrations
