CENSUS APPOINTMENTS.
Two Special Agents to Assist In Collec-
. ton Of Mine Statistics.

Hon. Robert r. Porter, superintendent Of
census, has appointed Mr.. Charles Kirchhof,
IT,, and Mr.. John Birkinbine special agents TO
assist Mr. Day in the collection Of the statistics
Of mines and mining. Mr.. Kirchhoh will have
charge Of the statistics Of copper, lead and zinc
and their ores. The total value of these metals
produced in the United States in 1883, as
determined by Mr.. Kirchhof. was SIS, 20O, 900.
MI. Kirchhoff, after careful technical training
in mining and metallurgy at Freiberg, and at
the Columbia College school Of mines, New
York, served az statistician on the Engineering
and Mining Journal, New York. He was next
called as associate editor Of the Iron Age, and
is now editor in charge OF that paper. Since
1882 Mr.. Kirchhof has been special agent for
the U. geological survey and has collected
the only valuable statements of the product of
those metals ever published. His keen watch
OF the commercial and technical features of
these subjects has resulted in many essays
which have generally been acknowledged as
authoritative
Mr.. Birkinbine will have charge Of the STA
tistics OF iron ores. The importance Of this
inquiry, involving total Of more than
II 900 600 tons annually, makes it desirable to
have the work in progress rs soon as practi-
cable. Mr.. Birkinbine is one Of the most
prominent iron-ore mining engineers in the
profession and has collected iron-ore sta
tistics for the US. geological survey. This is
one Of the most difficult of the problems of the
mining census particularly from the large
number OF small mines.

THE GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENT.
A Final Appeal for One Cent Q Mile to
be Made.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA dispatch from Milwau-
kee says: At meeting of the executive council
Of the National Grand Army encampment yes
terday afternoon committee Of twenty citi-
zens outside of the council was appointed to
wait on President Miller OF the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railway
and make final appeal to him for cent.a-
mile rate to the encampment. This move by
the executive council was in accordance with
the action Of the eight department commanders
at Chicago Tuesday in ratifying their agreement
of July discouraging the attendance from
their respective states at the national encamp-
ment because Of the refusal of the railroads
to grant q one-cent rate and agreeing to take
no part in the grand parade. Such action was
entirely unlocked for and created q sensation
at encampment Headquarters.

From Wall Street To.day.

New YORK, Aug /, IL a. m.-There was
the usual dullness in the stock market this
morning, only Reading, Atchison, Leadville,
Northwestern and st. Paul showing any special
animation. First prices were generally from Is
to Is per cent above last nights closing figures,
and in the early trading further slight gains
were scored, though, excepting in Northwestern
and Lead, which rose q per cent each, the
improvement was entirely insignificant. Intense
dizziness became the most conspicuous feature
Of the market and fractional recession, which
extended to all portions of the list followed, and
most stocks retired to a shade below the OPEN
ing prices. There was no further movement,
and at this hour the market is dull and barely
steady at something under first price.

them Marylanders and appointees Of the Sens-
tors, were notified that their power 10 draw

at least, choked OF. The victims were from all
parts Of the big building.
Outside of the Marylanders there were one

room by T. E. Benedict, had his official head
chopped of. Mr.. Oyster has been charged With
having compiled the demoSFatic campaign doc
ument which was alleged contain President
harrison's Chinese record while Mr.. Harrison
was in the Senate. Ever since the failure of
the Garfield administration to recognize his
services by making him public printer Mr..
Oyster has been, il not a democrat. at least an
anti-republican, and to this condition of affairs
he owes his dismissal.
a., Assistant Foreman O. n. Welsh Of the
bindery resigned yesterday evening, in
response to an intimation that his Resignation
was one OF those things which the public
printer wanted. Mr.. Welsh Is . democratic
Marylander.
IT WAS SOMEWHAT SINGULAR
that among the others who stepped down and
out were several who received contributions
during the last campaign and forwarded the
same to democratic headquarters Their iden-
tity was clearly established by Representative
Galiinger in the course of the congressional in
vestgation into Mr.. Benedlcts administration
of the printing office and yesterday Public
Printer Palmer decided that their time was up
Mr.: Oyster has already been succeeded by
Mr.. W. r. Ramsey, who was some time ago ap-
pointed assistant foreman in charge Of the
third division. The vacancy thus left in the
appointment of Mr.. AL. Cottle, one Of the best
known printers in the city. Mr. Cottie has
worked in the Office at different times for
number Of years and at the time Of
his promotion was employed in the Treasury
branch Of the government printing Office. He
Is Massachusetts man and a republican, and
was Endorsed by Senator Hoar and q number
Of prominent New England politicians.

railroadef named Harry Lee and a courtesan

The Seizure of the Black Diamond.

The reported seizure Of the English sealing
vessel Black Diamond by the revenue cutter
Rush has not caused the amount of ex-
citement among the officials of the
State, Navy, and Treasury departments
that such an incident might be ex-
pected to create. Beyond the brief dispatch Of
Tuesday from the commander of the Rush re-
porting the seizure of the Black Diamond the
Treasury Department has received nothing
concerning the matter. Within the past
few days half dozen letters have been
received from the commanders of the revenue
vessels on the sealing grounds, but none Of
these give any information concerning the
movements of sealers or the condition of mat
tiers around Behring straits Some of these
letters we're dated as late as July /. They re-
late to nothing but routine business matters.
Acting Secretary Wharton said this morning
that the State department had received no def
mite information about the seizure. He
thought that the British legation at Washington
would lay the matter before the department in
a month or SO.
