The Foreign Mail Service.
In regard to the foreign mail service the
report says. The act puts at the disposal
of the department, in the ordinary terms
of appropriation, the sum of sSO0,OOo Tor
transportation of the foreign mails, war
ranting thereby its entire expenditure, II
necessary, under previously existing pow
ers. The mere authority TO make coli
tracts on the mileage plan of compensa-
ton with American steamships Is super
added No mandate to pursue that course
is expressed or implied. But the act I'M
mistakably contemplated, Dy ltS terms,
that the government should secure the
gain of competition, wherever possible,
by employing at will the swiftest ship
among those ready to sail at any time
when mail is to be despatched, no special
contracts being made.
The total sum of the proposed appropri-
ations for the postal service OF the next
year is S54, 9S6, i66. SO. These estimates OF
revenue and cost indicate deficiency for
the year 1886 of Sc, 443, 9l4.25, not reckoning
the cost of transportation of mails by the
Pacific railroads, which will be placed to
their credit.
Smuggling from Mexico.
WASHINGTON Dec. Ex-Governor Gulick
of Arizona has addressed communlca-
ton to the Secretary of the Interior in
which he calls attention to the smuggling
carried on between Arizona and the State
of Sonora, Mexico. The counties of Puma
and Cochise have u border of several hun
dred miles along the Mexican frontier,
over which smugglers cross upon unfre-
quented trails, bringing into this territory
the products of Mexico without let or
hindrance. There are in Arizona 2O,o0O
mescal liquor distilled from, me
cactus. Thousands of gallons OF this
are annually consumed by them,
and hardlya gallon pays duty. Hundreds
of thousands of Mexican cigars ana guam
titles of tobacco, to say nothing OF beer,
cattle, horses, mules, etc, are also Snug
gled in.
The governor concludes as follows I'm

Harmon y. Tracy, whose sudden death
has been already noticed in our columns,
was born in Sheldon May ., 1927, the
eldest of four sons of Ahira q. and HUI

they moved to Essex, settling upon a farm
about between Pages and Buffers cor

and died. Here also the sons family were
born and lived. A daughter and the

A KENTUCKY NARRATIVE.
Senator Beck's Opposition to the Ad-
ministratiOn.
From Tie Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
1.-THE history of the opposition of Sem
ator Beck and some other Kentucky
statesmen to Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton is this,' said a prominent Kentuckian
to a reporter to-day. There was a COM
binatiop in the State before the Demo-
cratic national convention was held.
which had in view the nomination of Nc
Donald. Beck and some others put their
heads together and determined to give the
State to Mcdonald, if possible, and secure
his nomination if they could. They failed
IN this, and have been ill-natured ever
since. They fought Cleveland In the con-
Ventlon, and when he was elected they
were ready to bolt. During the whole
campaign Beck stubbornly refused to take
the stump for Cleveland in any OF the
doubtful States. The National Committee
urged him to make some speeches, but he
refused to Go so, and the only part he took
In the campaign was to make two or three
speeches in Kentucky, and they were for
Beck and not for Cleveland. The COM
blnation expected Cleveland to be de-
ieated, butwhen he was elected they tried
TO get the most out of it, and did their pref
test to get Mcdonald in the Cabinet for
their own private reasons. Failing in
this they were greatly disappointed, but
they turned in with all their might to get
a lot OF appointments made in their inter-
est. Now, because Cleveland would not
do just what they wanted him to, they
are very mad and are trying to make out
that the democrats all over the country
are dissatisfied with the administration
As matter of fact, the people in Ken
lucky are well pleased with Mr.. Cleve-
lands conservative course, and Beck has
lost prestige by his action. If he doesn't
change face the prospects of his re-elec-
ton to the Senate two years hence are not
good. With the feeling as it now is he
could not carry his own district. His
opposition to Cleveland is the old fight
that begun before the Chicago conven-
tiOn.'

MURRAY HILL REATEN.
How Jimmy Oliver Defeated the High
License Bill in New York.

License Bill In New YORK.
NEW YORK, April 29.-The most pow
erful organization ever effected in New
York for a restraint of the liquor business
has been signally defeated. Those con-
cerned in it included clergymen who are
foremost in religious infiue ce, like How
ard Crosby and Assistant Bishop Potter,
the heads of nearly all the temperance so
cieties and several of the milliOnaires Of
Murray Hill. Numerous conferences were
held during the winter, differences Of
opinion were fully discussed and compro-
missed, and substantial agreement was
reached that in a high license lay the
feasible measure for leSsening and con-
trolling the sale of intOxicants in this
city. A bill was prepared fixing the fee
at 81, 600 year for license TO deal in dis
titled liquors, and $500 tor malt beverages
alone. This was sent to Albany month
ago, with such backing as was conf
IDENTIFY expected to carry 1t through the
Legislature triumphantly. But the Five
Points raised itself in opposition to MUIR
ray Hill. Assemblyman Jimmy Oliver,
who represents the Five Points district,
became the champion of the liquor dealers
in now successful raid on the bill. Oil

popular with his constituents and alto
gether jolly rOunder. One of his recent

car in Printing House square, under the
impression that it had collided with the
statue of Ben Franklin, which was five
rods away. Being taken to police sta
ton, he explained that his frenzy had
arisen from heavy dose of quinine, taken
to relieve malaria. The lively divers
first move against the Murray Hill re-
formers was to call a secret caucus of the
Assembly, in which he was made chair
man of committee of fifteen, Democrats
and Republicans, to draft new excise
law. This bill has been passed. 1t ig-
nOres every provision of the other bill,
and is practically an extension of tine
present law, with low licenses and all the
facilities for the unrestricted sale of
liquors. The Governor is not expected to
withhold his signature, and even should
he do so the high license bill Is defeated.
Jimmy Oliver expects to go to Congress as
a reward for his victory.
