FROM WASHINGTON CITY.
Representative Hermann Secures an Ex.
tension Of the Nal Service In
the State Of Oregon.

The bureau Of American Republics Ia
informed that Senior Don Antonio NJ.
Flores, recently President OF Ecuador,
Congress as Minister Plenipotentiary OF
that country 10 the United States, and
will also be appointed honorary Com
missioner-in-chief 10 the Worlds Co
lumbian Exposition.
The discrimination by Costa Rica
against vessels and trade with the United
States arising from the rebate allowed
heretofore by Costa Rica OF per cent
custom duty in favor Of certain foreign
vessels having been discontinued by a
repeal and the ground for complaint oi
the government removed, vessels OF that
country will hereafter be admitted to
United States ports without the exaction
Of discriminating duties.
Representative Hermann has secured
the extension Of the mail service on the
Holley- ey-Crawfordsville route, TO begin at
Sweet Home in Linn county. He mas
also secured an order from the Postoffice
Department inviting proposals for mail
service twice week from Bridgeport by
way of Hereford to Unity and back, in
Baker county, Or. The department also
upon the showing of Mr.. Hermann has
issued proposals for bids for mail serv-
ice from Alsea by Lobster to Fisher in
Benton county and back, once a week,
from October Is, 1892, TO June 80, 1894,
until regular letting.
A second report on the Indians OF the
Southwest has been received at the In
dian bureau from DIR. Dorchester, Super
intendent OF Indian Schools. The report
deals with Indians in Arizona, and gives
prominence to the Apaches and Navajos,
The whole Indian population Of the Ter
ritory is given as 35, ,707, and the number
OF children available for schools as
1920. This is an increase in the popu-
ation since 1880 OF 1926. OF the chill.
dren about 1900 attended school either
in Arizona or elsewhere. In 1880 only
seventy-three children OF Arizona In.
dians made any pretense of attending
school. The school accommodations,
though yet small, are said to be increas-
ing each year, and for 1898 accommoda-
tions will be furnished for l,070 children
in the Territory. The Superintendent is
not favorable to removing Indian chill
dren to Northern schools.
The officers OF the Interior Depart
ment are considerably worried over the
ruling OF the First Comptroller, which
will possibly prevent the use of nearly
S2j 900 in surveying lands. The appro
priation act provided that OF the $685..
900 appropriated $l25, 900 should be ex.
pended within railroad limits, and the
Comptroller holds that none OF the bal
ance can be expended within these linn
its. As large portions OF public lands
are within railroad grants, especially
lands which it is desirable to survey, il
is possible that great many States will
be short on funds for surveys. 1t il
thought Oregon would be the sufferer
under this ruling, while portions oI
Washington State would be benefited
Acting Secretary Chandler says that
notwithstanding the ruling he intends
to expend the money where he thinks il
will do the most good, regardless of the
fact that it may be expended within the
railroad limits.

The Weakness of Tall Men.

Tall men, as rule, have bodies out OF
proportion to their lower limbs-that is,
smaller than they ought to be-with the
natural result that they are unable to
bear fatigue, or to compete in the
struggles of life with lesser men more
harmoniously proportioned. Army ex-
perience bears out these observations. In
long and fatiguing march the tall men
usually fall out first or succumb to cam
paigning, unless, as is very rarely the
case, they have well knit and symmetri-
cal frames. A soldier between five feet
five inches and five feet eight or nine
inches is usually the man most capable
of bearing the strain of life.-New York
Telegram.

over assoc. GOO for postage STAMPS.

The most valuable of all private collec-
tions belongs to NJ. Philippe de Ferrari,
of the Galliera family, who regularly at
tends the Paris mart to enrich his album.
This family souvenir has already cost
more than three hundred thousand dol
lars, or a million and half of francs.
The acquisition of stamps seems to be
the only object for which NJ. Ferrari
considered his mothers millions good
enough to be spent, for he has been
known to pay from $500 to $500 for q
collection from which he wanted only q
single stamp.-Paris Letter.
