 WASHINGTON, April 23.-The Secretary of War has ordered the commanding officers at all military posts to fire national salute of thirty eight guns on April 30, the centenary of the inauguration of Washington.
 The President to-day signed the commis- sions of the following Connecticut postmas- ters: Julius W. .Knowlton, Bridgeport; Henry E. Smith, Stamford; Miss Marcia G. Whiton, Stafford Springs; Wm. Caruthers, Norwich.
 Consul General Waller at London in a re- port to the Department of State says there has been 8 general revival of the trade and turns, he says, clearly show a decided inn provement in both the volume and character of the business done in 1888 over the previ- ous year, and this increased prosperity, which promises to continue, is not confined to any particular industry. It is apparently due to legitimate trade and not to speculation. The improvement in business is espe- cially notable in the shipbuilding industry, the total tonnage of ships built in 1888, never having been exceeded except in two instances in the history of ship building. The total value of goods imported into the United Kingdom from the United States in 1887 was $415, ,245, ,370, and exported thereto $2O1,- 200, ,750, the balance in favor of the United States being $214, ,044, ,620, an increase of ST. PA, ,3S5 in imports and of SIS, 161, ,725 in ex- ports over the previous year. Consul Gen. eral Waller says there has been a continuous decrease in all parts of the kingdom in the number of persons committed for trial dur ing the last decade. In 1878 the number was one for every 3, 146 of the population; in '87 one for 2,025 of the population. This satis- factory diminution in crimeis said to be un- doubtedly the result of the spread of educa- tion among the masses.
 Surgeon General Hamilton of the Marine hospital service was informed to-day by the president of the board of health of Sanford, Fla, that case of yellow fever existed in that city. MT. Hamilton says every rrecau- tion has been taken to prevent the spread of the disease, and no danger is spprehended.

He was &C., companied by his secretary and MT. Michael Herbert. the charge of the legation, and was met at the station by the legation attaches. This evening he was entertained at dinner by MT. Herbert.
