After nTlnimum Rates.

WASHINGTON, July l3.-The postmas-
ter-general gives out the following con-
corning the report that he made an
order reducing the rate on government
kilograms from l cent to l mill per
word He says he had suggested this
rate and notified the telegraph compa-
MES to that effect To some of the
companies obieeting to the rate he had
written letter and stated among other
things: ssI desire to say that the rate
proposed was fixed upon information
furnished to this department that your
company has been making rates to vari-
Gus large corporations that are in some
instances as low as the figures now pro-
posed for the government service. With
the notice of this fact would not be jus
tilted in making for the government a
new contract at higher rates than
were charged other persons, especially
in view of the privileges and benefits ex-
tended to your company by acts of con-
gress. l submit to your own sense of
right that the government under the ex-
listing circumstances is entitled to min
imum rates.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 13.-There is an
armistice at Homestead to-day and the
quiet prevailing is in striking contrast TO
the scenes Of disorder and excitement
yesterday. The Pinkerton men who ar
rived here yesterday morning were not
taken to the scene of the trouble 1t is
understood they are stationed at point
q few miles from the city on the Pennsyl-
vania railway to await developments
All night long the strikers patrolled the
river banks and railroad tracks watching
for the P1nkerton guards and uon- union
workmen, but they did not put in an app
pearance. This morning the strikers are
still in control at Homestead, but they
are making no demonstrations and are
holding off pending the conference of the
Amalgamated officials and Carnegie IS
managers, which has been arranged for
8 CLOCK this evening.
The conference was arranged at the
solicitation of Sheriff McCandless, and
every effort viii be made to effect a set
Element this afternoon. If unsuccessful
one Of the most formidable struggles be-
tween capital and labor in the history of
this city viii follow. The firm IS famous
for its bitter determination in such con-
tests, while the men regard it as death
and life struggle, and have the most
thorough organization. A meeting of
all the lodges of the Amalgamated asso-
citation at Homestead is in progress.
The conference suggested by Sheriff
McCandless between the officials of the
Amalgamated association and the mem
Al n
Co. was held last night, and it has been
productive of much better understand
ing between the parties concerned. The
conference this afternoon will be between
the employees as individuals and not as
members of the Amalgamated assOcia-
ton, and the firm. 1t is understood the
company still adheres to its sliding scale,
but it is willing to make some modifica-
tons and the men are also anxious to
effect compromise. A harmonious
meeting and settlement is expected.

Meteors as Big as Flour Barrels.


DR.. s. T. Perkins of Springfield wit
messed the fall of meteors Wednesday
night in Prince Georges county. esThe
night was quite dark, - he said yester-
day in describing the phenomenon, "and
the sudden flash caused by the shooting
meter was startling. huge glowing
mass seemed TO descend from the heavens
at an angle of forty-ffve degrees. 1t was
an irregular mass, about the size OF q
flour barrel, and OF great brilliancy-a
glowing red heat. The country for miles
around was lit up for few seconds. 1t
seemed TO fall about one mile to the
southwest of Bowie. As soon as /
regained my equanimity, for the
wonderful sight took my breath and

dren. looked at my watch. It was
$3.50. The second meteorite fell about
forty minutes later. 1t was even larger
than the first, and much brighter. As
near as / could Judge, it fell about two
hundred yards from the first. l have
seen meteorites fan before, but none so
bright as this - The people of Bowie
had much the same story to-teIl. Every
one for miles around thought it had
fallen but few hundred yards from his
farmhouse. Capt. Edward Leonard of
the steamer Ida reported having seen a
meteor on Wednesday night as the
steamer was going up the Tread Avon
river to Easton Point. During the pas
sage of the meteor the sky had the ap-

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The mail
which was brought to San Francisco
about ten days ago from Admiral KIM
berly, at Samoa, has just reached the
navy department. 1t bears date June
10. In his report the admiral says,
although the natives are hard pressed
for food they have commenced planting,
and as food fruits will soon be ripe the
danger of famine is passed. All of the
guns and gun carriages Of the Trenton
and Vandalia, except one nine-inch gun
belonging to the latter, which cannot be
found, have been recovered and packed
on shore at Apia. There is nothing of
any real value to the government left on
either ship, except the machinery.
The report from Lientenant-Com-
mander Lyon, commanding the Nipsic.
has also been received. The Nipsic was
at Tanning Island waiting coal, which
had been purchased at Honolulu by
Commander Green of the Alert, and was
to be delivered at Tanning Island June
10. The passage of the Nipsic from Apia
to Tanning Island, while uneventful,
was made with some difficulty, as her
keel was lost in a hurricane and she
would go off to the leeward in a wind.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-All Washing
ton is laughing over the departure of
Hadji Hussien Ghooly Khan, the Persian
minister, to his native land. Hadji says
his abrupt going away is because of the
iisrespectful mention of his master, the
shah, on the part of the American
press, but the real reason is that Hadji is
snubbed in the diplomatic circles here,
and very justly too because of his exceed
ing freshness. He was such a boor and
so slow to learn the civilized ways of oc-
cidental life that nobody would put up
with him, and the fact that he was given
the cold shoulder on every side made the
great Hadji so sore that he applied to his
government for recall, alleging that all
manner of scorn and r1dicule of his soy
erign was INDUCED in by the American
newspapers. He was in SUCH huff that
he would not call on the president or the
secretary of state to say goodbye.
THE PRESIDENT
has Systematically pursued the wearing
out policy as regards applicants for office
and scores of politicians who came here
when he went into the White House are
now as then in darkness as to his inten-
tons He has gone off for the summer
to write his message to congress and will
make only flying visits to the capital TO
attend brief cabinet meetings. On this
account the appointments will continue
to be few and far between and it is given
out to-day that even such important
places as recorder and register
of deeds for the District Of Columbia
will not be filed till next fall, the Cleve-
land appointees holding on till then.
This is what fills the souls of the spoils-
men with disgust too deep for words to
express. Not single word of praise of
Harrison is ever heard, and those politi-
clans who do not condemn openly listen
in silence to the denunciation of their
less cautious brethren.
