MATTERS AT WASHINGTON
POSTMASTER GENERAL IN TROUBLE.
Five Steamship Companies hei"se W
Carry the Mails-A Halt at the New
England Ofices Various Cab
met Doings.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Five American
steamship companies. the Red d., New
York to Venezuela, the Clyde New York
to Turks island, the New York, Havana
and Mexico. and the New York and Cuba
lines have declined to carry the United
States mails after to-day. Postmaster
General Villas says that this act is com
bination formed for the purpose of forcing
him to distribute $780, 900 appropriated by
Congress- Mails will go by the new
routes which he has selected without loss
of time and in some cases, he says, they
will be expedited.
American Claims Against France AL
lowed.
WASHINGTON, July 3l.-The Secretary
of State to-day received from the French
government 1869 francs, being the
amount awarded by the Franco American
claims commission to American claimants
against the French government. Nine
teen claims were presented and all but
two were either disaIlowed or dismissed
for want of jurisdiction. VIM. &. Trlpler
and Thomas Mason were each awarded
$500 francs The claim of TIE former was
for the steamer Anahuae, taken off
Acapulco March 6, 1860 The whole
amount claimed was 19,6S2 francs with IN
terest at six per cent. Mason's claim was
for the same vessel and the Teresa and
was for IS, lS2 francs with interest
A Halt in New England Appointments to
Federal Ofices.
1t is learned at the White House that
there will be few more New England ap-
pointments made until the Presidents re-
turn from his summer vacation In sep
TENDER. 1t is stated that none of the
Boston offices are likely to be reached in
the week before his departure. The
Augusta postotfice, Col. Lamont says,
will also presumably go over until au-
tumn, as the matter is as far from settle
ment as ever. The official statement con
firms the theory that the President is
undecided as to the course to pursue, ana
is willing to wait for Morton, the Au-
gusta Democrats or somebody to relieve
him of his embarrassment. He is not re-
lieved by such indignant kilograms as
came from Augusta.
Result of the Wales Court Martial.
WASHINGTON, July 31.-The findings of
the naval court martial before which eX-
Surgeon General Wales was recently
tried, were made public to-day The
court sentences him to suspension from
rank and duty for five years on fur
Tough pay, and to retain his present num-
Der in his grade during that period. DR..
Wales was tried for culpable inefiiciency
in the performance of duty and for neg
lect of duty. He was found guilty on
both charges.

BLOWING OUT THE GAs.-We don't be-
lieve that any city man, drunk or sober, or
any countryman who visits city once a
year, ever blows out the gas in hotel. IL
is very hard thing to do and drunken
man could hardly accomplish the ieat II ne
tried it. The true cause OF 50 many deaths
by asphy xation in hotels may be traced 10
the siinsiness of hotel keepers. Ii is we'll
known that many people keep the gas tarn-
cd on in their ROOMS all night, and partlcu-
larly is this the case with strangers stopping
at hotel for night only. They go to
sleep with the gas burning, aud about II
o'clock the proprietor lin order to save ex.
penses) goes to the metre and cuts Oh all
the gas from the house. This Of coarse puts
out all lights, but does not shut of the
burners Along about 5 o'clock when peo-
pie begin to stir, the gas is again turned on
at the metre and then it begins to fill all
rooms in which lights were left burning the
night before. In case the party occupying
the room is late sleeper, death is almost
inevitable, and the verdict goes forth to the
world that the unfortunate victim blew out
the gas. The Legislature of Georgia recent
~ passed law with especial reference to
this fact, making it criminal offence for a
hotel-keeper to cut off the gas from bis
premises at any time during the night. We
commend their action 10 the Legislature of
this State and ask that the matter be given
the attention it deserves. Every mans life
is now in the hands of the hotel proprietor
or his employees, should he venture to keep
a light burning in his room at night after
going to sleep. While many hotel. keepers
never think of such thing as cutting Oft the
gas, there are many others who invariably
do cut it off, and this fact may be demon
strated by any guest who will get up about
3 o'clock in the morning and attempt to
strike light.-Sufolk Herald.
