WAsHINeToN. June 2a-The State of Penn
w sylvanla has Jared remarkably well so far
| as its public buildings are concerned in the
| present Congress. No State has better record
| of public building bills passed and those in
| prospect of passage. Four public buildings
are thus far assured to the State, the President
having signed the acts. They are: Chester, sSO-
900; Scranton, sl75,00O; Allegheny City, $3.50 OO0
and York. $4,000. The bills represented by the
Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds
and now on the calendar as follows: Al
toona. $50 600; Wilkesbarre, $780, COO; Lancaster,
$50 900: Bradford $50 OOC; Pottsvllle, $50 O00
The Beaver Falls bill is In the Conference
Committee for $4,000. and will doubtless be
passed for that amount. 1t will thus be seen
that Pennsylvania has already secured $3.50, 600
in appropriations for its public buildings, and
the committee has reported in favor of $3.50, 600
more, and If these bills pass at this session the
State will have secured nearly 81 100000 for Its
public buildings alone.
The bill for a new mint building in PAiadol-
phia is now before the committee involving s.
OO0 600. and it is thought that it would not be
expedient in view of the large appropriations
already secured to press this bill at the present
session.
Bills for public buildings in the following
cities are now before the committee: Mead
Vile, $50 900; Greensburg, $4,000; Oil City. s6O,
600; New Castle, $50, 1000; Allentown, $4,000;
Lebanon, 100000
Regular Army Notnbles.
THE War Department is taking great interest
in the encampment of the National Guard
of Pennsylvania at Mt. Gretna, July Is to 26.
The regular army will be represented by two
battalions of cavalry, two light batteries of ar
tillery and a full regiment of infantry. In ad-
dition to the troops ordered there Secretary
Proctor has directed the following officers to
visit the camp as inspectors, and to instruct the
officers and men in their respective branches
of the service: Lieutenant Colonel Henry
c. Corbin, Assistant Adjutant General;
Major Charles R. Greenleaf. surgeon; Cap
tain Joseph g.. Ramsey, Second Artil-
lery, and First Lieutenant James G. War
rem, Corps of Engineers. This encampment
is expected to be by far the most interesting
militiamen will have opportunity by observ-
ing the regulars in camp to see for themselves
what life in the army is like, and large num-
Der of desirable recruits are expected to be en-
listed as result
Lucky Postmasters.
IN the readjustment of salaries now in prog
ress at the Postoffice Department.. based on
the increase of business changes have been
made in only three of the frst-class postoffices
of Pennsylvania. namely Pittsburg, Lancaster
and Scranton. Pittsburg takes jump which
will doubtless be exceedingly satisfactory to
Postmaster Mexican. Mr.. Larkin had the COM
Portable salary of $500 per year. while by the
readjustment of to-day Mr.. Mexican will get
round S5, ,0C0 a year. Few of the cities of the
the two other offices readjusted Scranton's
postmaster will get an increase from So, 100 to
So 200 and Lancasters from 81, 900 to 5000. The
readjustment of the second and third-class
offices of Pennsylvania will not be complete for
some time.
The College Aid Bill Passed.
IN the Senate to-day the agricultural college
aid bill was again taken up, and Mr. Morrill,
offered substitute for the various amend
menrs pending on Saturday as to the division of
the fund between colored and white schools of

Mr.. Pugh expressed his approval of Mr.. Nor
rilrs amendment, and withdrew the one offered
by him. After some debate the Morrill, amend
