RELICS OF THE WAR
The Loot Now i'm the Treasury to be
Returned TO the Rightful owns

ers.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Sometime ago
Secretary Fairchild instructed the chief OF
the division of abandoned property to carry
into effect the provisions OF the act author
izing the secretary of the treasury to de-
liver to the rightful owners certain articles
OF jewelry etc., captured by the United
States army during the civil war and de-
posted in the treasury department.. Mr..
Krites, the chief. has accordingly prepared
rules which will govern the restoration of
all such articles, and has just concluded an
examination of the articles in deposit.
They are contained in two boxes, and con-
sist of silverware, jewelry, portraits.
watches etc. One of the boxes contained
nearly 500 watches, gold, silver, and brass,
and number of jack-knives, pocketbooks,
letters, etc. They were mainly taken from
prisoners of war, who died in hospitals
around Washington, by Gen. Ketcham.
Some of them. however, belonged to Union
soldiers who died during the war near the
places designated. The other box con-
tanned lot of articles
CAPTURED BY GEN. sHERMAN's TROOPS
in Camden, S. c., in the early part of 1865,
They consist of family plate, jewelry, etc.,
which had been deposited in a bank at
Camden by Mr.. McRae and other wealthy
residents of that section. When the Union
army approached the town an effort was
made to transfer the articles to place of
safety, but it did not succeed as the troops
came upon the scene while the transfer was
being made. Many Of the principal articles
belonging to Mr.. McRae were restored to
him by special act of congress in 1882. An
inventory has been made and it is thought
the articles can easily be identified by their
owners. They will be restored upon APP
plication accompanied by satisfactory evil
dence of ownership. The two boxes re-
ferred to contain all the property of the
character described now in the United
States treasury, except, possibly, the pres
sentation swords belonging to Gen. Briggs
and captured by Gen. Butler in New Or
leans. 1t is an unsettled question as yet
whether these swords can be restored under
the provisions of the act referred to above.
All the other articles mentioned which have
not been restored by April next will be adj
vertiSed, and such as still remain in the
treasury for one year from that time will be
sold at public auction.

Cost OF a Cruiser.

HALIFAX, n. S., Aug 17.-Capt. Peter
son of Antigua, West Indies, is in this city
and tells curious story about new cruiser
purchased by the Dominion government in
New York. She was, he says. in the West
Indies last year purchased by a New York
Spectator for so, 900. Previously she had
been sent out for trial trip by the governor
of the Windward islands. and he, after the
trip at sea, became frightened of her and
would have nothing to do with her The
New Yorker succeeded in getting the Do
miniOn government to purchase the vessel
for $50, coo by Yankee trickery and the ex-
penditure of 81, 600 on flash inside furnish
iDgs. Peterson says she is not safe at sea,
and was not accepted from the builder on
that account. Since the arrival of the O.
semitic in port yesterday morning, many
who have been aboard of her say she could
not have been built and equipped for three
times the sum paid for her by the Dominion
government.

The Civil Service.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE civil ser
vice commission contemplates another
important change In the system of examin-
ations for admission to the postofice and
custom house service. which will shortly be
formulated and promulgated. They propose
to have the local examiners send all the ex-
animation papers directly to the civil SER
vice commission here to be marked or
graded, instead of marking or grading them
themselves, as at present. Thus the mark
ing and grading will be uniform, and will
not be affected by local influences. 1t
might not be practicable to have examina-
ton papers sent from the Pacific coast to
the civil service commission for this pur-
pose, but it will probably be arranged so
that they can be sent to a special board of
examiners at San Francisco.

Excellent Crops.

Special 10 Tue JlOUe.
FARGO, Oak, Aug. lit has been
supposed that the drouth, with hail and
other storms, would severely reduce the
wheat crop of Northern Dakota, but the
harvest is now nearly completed in the Red
River valley, and the yield in the great
wheat country proves to be far beyond ex-
Dectation. Great fields, harvesting from
thirty to forty bushels per acre, are cem-
mon. and it is estimated that six counties
centering about Fargo will produce more
wheat than all Northern Dakota did last
year. The entire territory will fall but
little below 1885, and the quality is ex-
cellent.
