merican Wheat Abroad.

The late statements concerning the Eu.
ropean wheat crop indicate tina, more than
the usual amount of American wheat will
be demanded this year, and that with the
present low prices in this country the de-
mand should be very large. The crops OF
the current year in the European whea.
growing countries are much below those
of last year. when about 154, O00, 900 bush-
els American and Indian wheat were re-
quired to make up deficiencies.
Great Britain alone must import not
less than 100, OO0, 900 bushels this year, and
France from $4,000, 900 to 10000, 900.
There will be less wheat exported from
India and Australia than last year, shorter
crops. Fortunately the United States has
an unusually large surplus this year and
will he able not only to supply bread to
the hungry Europeans, but put money in
the national purse in doing so. The re-
ceipts for American breadstuffs have been
considerably greater for the first three
quarters Of the current year than for the
same period in 1885, and the last quarter
IS almost certain to show q greater in
crease in proportion, now that the Euro.
pean crop situation is definitely known

Hon. Charles Francis Adams died at
$50 A. NJ. on Saturday last at his residence,
No. 81 Mount Vernon street, Boston, Mass.
He had suffered for some FIVE years from
brain trouble. arising from overtaxing his
brain in the literary work upon which be

John Quincy Adams.
Charles Francis Adams was born 10 Bos-

Revenue Collector Appointed.

The vexed question of tie appointment
of revenue collector has at last been set
tied by the removal of Mr.. Sellman and
the appointment of his successor. which
was done by the President on Friday last.
As foreshadowed in our last issue, Joseph
Z. Roberts, Esq. ,ef Prince Georges county,
is the appointee to the office. Mr.. Roberts
is . prominent member of the Marlboro
bar and one of the editors of the Prince
Georges Enquirer. He is also we'll known
in the politics Of the State as a staunch
democrat. having served with ability in
the Legislature of 1880. He is clever
gentleman, possessed o. much executive
ability and we'll qualified for the duties
OF the Office. His appointment will doubt.
less give general satisfaction in his county
and throughout this congressional district,
to which it has been understood this sp.
pointment would be given. The salary
of the position is $4,000 and it is eonsid.
cred one of the best Federal offices in the
State.
The subordinate appointments in this
department, it is said, are not regulated
by the civil-service rules, but they are al
the disposal ofthe Collector,u no comp. titive
examination being required. Those ap
pointments are as follows: One deputy
collector and chief clerk at $4,000; ONT
deputy who is the cashier of the main Of
fee in Baltimore, and another deputy who
has charge Of the Washington branch
each at $500; one deputy collector at
81 800, ten at $1,40O each, one at $1,000
two 81 900, one at 1850 two clerks at 81,
200, two at $1,000, one at $1,15O, one al
81, 100, two at 5000 one messenger at $500
There is no fixed time of Office for the Col
lector, and his assistants are all appointed
to serve during his time. The storekeep
ers, who get $3.50 and 81 per day; and
the gaugers. who average 81 day, are
appointed by the Treasury Department a
Washington.
