oBsTRUcr1Ne THE CENSUS.
An Anonymous Circular Sent Out at
AsheVille.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Some days ago
Supt. Porter received copies of printed
circular signed ''Citizen," which had been
distributed in Asheville, N. c., calling upon
the people to resist the intrusion upon their
private affairs contemplated by the CEN
sus schedules. The circular further
says: "a stranger to your family, un-
der pay, and by order of impor-
tant and official authority at Washington.
will present himself at your house and ask
questions that would cause any modest
woman to blush with shame and iudigna-
ton and make every man to feel that his
home and family had been put to uncalled
for insult and humiliation" The people
are further advised to refuse to answer the
census questions.
HAVING ITS EFFECT.
Supt. Porter paid no attention to the
anonymous circular, which he supposed
was merely the production of some crank,
until letter was received from Supervisor
Hardwick, dated June 9, in which, he states
that his enumerators in Asheville are
having some trouble by people evad-
ing them. He states that they
often send servants to the door
saying: There is no one here who can
give In the census.n The supervisor asks for
A-SSA ASOACA4os AouPbs l. VI SO-AoJ WlOJC sACI-
terS to Senator Vance and Representative
Ewart, calling their attention to the con-
dition of affairs in AsheviIle as
reported by the supervisor. He states
that he knows of no reason for
the people of Asheville to adopt such a
course in relation to the census. AS far as
possible competent men have been ap-
pointed as supervisors aud enumerators,
and in no case has the appointment of an
g. L..
democrat. He asks that they use their in
fuence with the people of Asheville to in
duce them to take different view of this
matter

GERMANY's MILITARY LAWS.
The Reichstag Committee Still Bus,
With the Army Bill

The Reichstag Committee Still Busy
With the Army Bill
BERLIN, June 12.-The committee of the
Reichstag on the army bill to-day passed
the paragraph in the measure prescribing
the basis for military formation. Thevote
stood to 8. Herr Windthorst, leader of the
Clerical party, declared that he would vote
for the bill, as he did not consider the mo-
ment opportune to attempt tests of party
strength. DE announced that at the same
time he would lay on the table of the Reich
stag motion suggesting that the govern
ment should desist from its intention to COM
pei men capable of bearing arms to perform
military service; that 1t should abolish the
septennate; that it should fix the strength
of the army annually at the time the budget
is submitted, and that the term of service
for infantry should be fixed at two years.
Herr Rickert proposed that the peace ef-
fectiv Q be fixed annually.
The minister of war replied that article
63 of the constitution implied the right Of
the emperor to fix the effective. Yearly
fxation could not be conceded. The septen-
nate itself was a concession.
Herr Rickert contended that that inter-
probation of the article was erroneous. The
fixing Of the effective by the emperor alone
would be breach Of the constitution.

A GRIP ON THE POLLS.
The House Committee Still Busy
With the Election Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The House
caucus committee which is charged with
the preparation of the national election bill
on the lines agreed upon by the last caucus
has been industriously perfecting the details
Of the measure, and has so far progressed
as to be able to send a rough draft to the
public printer. When the proofs are re-
turned the committee will meet again,
probably on Saturday next, and continue
the work of arranging the details. Some
Of the changes made already in
the original Rowell bill are: A
provision that in cases of conflict between
the returns sent in by the state election
officers and by those Of the United States
supervisors. the latter are to constitute
prinaG fdcie evidence OF the rights OF a
member to his seat; and a provision that
the United States court within an election
district shall appoint board Of three per-
sons representing both political parties TO
canvass the returns of the supervisors.
APUzzLE.
A provision that is giving the committee
some concern is how to formulate provis-
ion for insertion in the bill to carry out its
desire to prevent wholesale and wrongful
Acknowledgement of voters as alleged to pre-
vail in South Carolina, and to meet
alleged Virginia and North Carolina
fraudulent practices in connection with the
''purgingn of tho lists Of voters. 1t appears
that much difficulty is being experienced in
making the supervisory system cover these
points; but the committee is confident of
its ability to solve the question. 1t is ex-
pected that the bill will De completed in time
to permit of its submission to another
caucus next Monday.
DISCUSSED BY THE SENATORS.
The federal election law question was
informally discussed at the republican SEN
atorial caucus on Monday night with
out any conclusion, but the discussion
tended to show that if the House sent over
bill the Senate would consider and per-
haps pass it. Opinion was divided us to the
wisdom and expediency of this course, but
the older senator's suggested that if the
House sent over bill the committee between
the two houses would compel the Senate to
consider it, at least, whether they liked it or
not or passed it or not. since it was proposed
in furtherance of the constitutional right Of
tue House TO determine the election returns
and the qualifications of its members. The
chief argument against the consideration of
the bill was that It would postpone adjourn-
ment indefinitely. AS it Is, the opinion ex-
pressed in the caucus was that adjournment
could not be reached before September.

sequence Of quarrel between himself and

ABUILpING BILL VETOED.
The President Says Tuscaloosa Don't

The President Says Tuscaloosa Don't
Need a New Postoffice.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-The President
to-day sent to the House, without his ap-
proval, the bill for the erection of public
building at Tuscaloosa, Ala. In his mes
sage the President says: Judging by its
postal revenues and the officers employed,
the postoffice at Tuscaloosa is not an
important one. 1t has one clerk at a
salary of $3.50, and no carriers. The report
Of the Postmaster General shows that the
gross receipts for the year 1888 were Sc, ,379,
and the net revenues less than $4,000. The
net receipts have only increased by $3, 900
in ten years. The rent now paid for build
ing having 1900 feet Of floor space is 1915.
A general proposition to erect buildings at
this scale of expense in towns the size of
Tuscaloosa would not, am sure, receive the
sanction of congress.
A BAD INVESTMENT.
SIT would involve an expenditure for
buildings of ten times the present net rev.
enue Of such offices: and in the case under
consideration would involve an increased
cost for fuel, lights and care greater than
the rent now paid for the use on room OF
ample size. l would not insist that it must
always be shown that proposed public
investment; but in the present uncer-
tain state of the public revenue
and expenditures resulting from pending
and probable legislation. there is, to my
mind, an absolute necessity that the ex-
penditures for public buildings should be
limited to cases where the public needs are
very evident and very imperative. 1t is
clear that this is not such case"
The bill thus vetoed made an appropria-
ton of $40 600
