Sales of Navy Yard Material.

Some time ago complaint reached the Navy
Department that the system of selling old mate
rial in navy yards upon sealed proposals, as
initiated in the sale at the New York navy ward
last June, caused loss to the government and
dissatisfaction to the bidders. Secretary Tracy
appointed board to investigate the matter
and this board has just reported through its
president, Capt. Bunce. They find that all of
the sale; that the goods removed by purchas-
ers correspondent exactly in kind with those
offered for sale, and that variations in quantity
were covered by the term more or less" in
the schedules. But two irregularities were
discovered and they were trivial and resulted
in no loss to the government. Summing up,
the board approves strongly of the new system
Of sales and cannot find occasion for q single
suggestion looking to improvement.

Belgtum's Trade with Brazil.

The bureau of American republics is in 70
ceipt Of interesting information in regard TO
the commercial relations between Belgium and
Brazil, which are reported to have become
much closer than ever before during the year
1880. Belgium finds in Brazil an important
market for its iron goods and cast iron while
Brazil has increased it's exports to Belgium
considerably. The csrgoes Of vessels leaving
Antwerp for Brazil represented In 1880 q value
Of s5.520. 600 and the price of goods exported
from Brazil TO Antwerp was el2, 4o0. 900. The
exports from Brazil 20 Belgium consist psin-
bacco, and the increase in value of these ex-
ports since 1885 has been more than 81, SOC. 600,
the greater part of the increase being due TO
coffee, the price Of which was maintaiued at Q
high level during 1880. Nearly half q million
sacks OF coffee, representing a value OF more
than S12, 000, 900. entered the port Of Antwerp
from Brazil in 1880. OF this amount 35l, 64S
sacks came from Santos which IL now the most
important market for the export Of Brazilian
coffee, although the coffees of the province u
Bahia are much sought after on account of the
facility with which they can be mixed with
other varieties. The coffee Of the Dutch
colonies. and particularly Of Java. no longer
offer . serious competition 10 the Braxiliana,

partments closed for business, there was an

alleged derelictions Of the five mercantile ap-
praisers The only persons present at the con-
ference were the two officials named above and
Jos, p: Cullen, private counsel of City Treas
urer Wright
The district attorney expressed great sur
prise at the revelations that were made to him
in regard to the manner in which tbs Office Of
the mercantile appraisers had been conducted
and announced that the testimony in the shape
of reports in the of the city treasurer
were sufficient to warrant the commencement Of
criminal proceedings against the appraisers
Messrs. Patton, Houseman. Hunter. Bell and
Crawford.
At the conclusion of the conference the dis
trict attorney asked the city treasurer to allow
him several days time, SO that his counsel
might arrange the testimony for convenient
use at the preliminary hearing when the prose-
cution is brought. Mr.. Wright acquiesced in
this suggestion and stated further that as soon
as the district attorney il ready he viii make
the necessary affidavit, upon which warrants
will be issued against the five appraisers.

CURED near the corner of 9Th street and Vir-
ginia avenue southeast yesterday afternoon,
when Policeman Kraemer arrested young
man named John Stewart on q charge of dis

some of his friends assisted him.
The officer WAS getting the worst Of 1t when
Policeman Horton appeared and took a hand
in the trouble. The next to appear was
Policeman Lightfoot, who was also in citizens
dress, and he and Officer Horton being
strangers there was a Misunderstanding be-
tween them as to the parts they were taking
and blows passed between them.
They soon discovered their mistake and
apologies made them good friends.
When Stewart had been subdued he was COW
cred with blood and Policeman kraeper's face
showed the effects of some ones shoe.
Lawyer Moss appeared ir the Police Court
today to defend Stewart against three charges
and he demanded a jury trial in each case.

The Tennis Contests in Progress on the
Bachelors' Courts.
The handicap tennis tournament began on
the courts of the Bachelors Club Saturday
afternoon. The grounds we're very muddy
and only the two western courts were in con-
dition to play on, and even these were slip
perry. The handicap committee had SO well es-
timated the relative strength of the players
that the few games played were, in the main.
very well contested and were quite interesting
to witness. S. E. Lewis, in his match with
Thompson, was given odds of fifteen and one
bisque and succeeded in winning by score of
7-9. "a, GA. Davidson beat W. L. Mcpherson,
who was allowed fifteen minus three bisques,

bisques and won. 4-6. 6-l. GO.

one bisque with Painter, who won the first set,

darkness.

The system of handicapping is very Salts
factory one and has enabled the poorer players
to compete on nearly equal terms with the ex-
perts. The terms used may seem a little alb
stract, and a word of explanation may not be
amiss.
An allowance Of bisque means that the
player SO favored can add ten points to his
score once during the playing of a set an al.
lowance of Is, that number of points as start
in each game; y Is, the same number of points
in every other game; y 80, fifteen points in
