WASHINGTON. March 13.-At $50 O. clock
this afternoon President and Mrs. Cleve-

the blue parlor. The princess was accom-
panied by Mr.. and Mrs. Davies, their
daughter and lady friend. The call was
entirely Of social nature and lasted prob
ably quarter of an hour. Tho visitors
ception accorded them, the ladies being
captivated by the pleasing manners of the
wife Of President Cleveland and tho prin-

was the only lady she ever fell in love with.

Gen. Schotield was member of the COM
mission that visited Hawaii many years
ago, and Admiral Browns last cruise was
to that country. Capt. Howisson is now
at the Mare Island navy yard. He is said
to be peculiarly fitted for tho mission by
reason of his service in Hawaii, and naval
officers generally agree that he is one Of
the bess equipped men in the service for the

WARRINGTON. March 13.-Tho supreme
Of the court Of claims in favor of the letter
carriers in tho cases OF Post and Frank
Gates. These cases arose under the act
prescribing that eight hours shal! be days
work for letter carriers.
1t was contended by the letter carriers
that the postoflioe department. in constrn-
ing the act, violated it's intent and pur-
pose, and WAS requiring moro labor from
them than contemplated. In the Gates
case the question was whether or not the
eiRht-hour provision. as applied to letter
carriers, meant an average OF eight hours
q day for the month, the department hold
ing that any deficit in eight honrs on Sun
days or other days could be set off against
the excess over eight hours on the other
days. The court rules that this cannot be
done. and that the carriers are entitled to
extra pay for any overtime on any single
delivery.
In tho Post case the position taken by tho
United States was that the eight hours
should consist of the time en- ployed az car
rlers. and tina: they could not recover extra
pay for other services within the postoffice
parfoimed by them in connection with the
duties imposed on them by the postmaster.
The court ho!ds this position untenable,
and that the carriers are entitled to extra
pay for over eight hours work under such
circumstances.
Justice Jackson was to-day assigned to
the circuit of the late Justice Lamar. Tho
supreme court affirmed the judgment of the
court of claims diminishing the petition of
the state of Indiana to recover from the
United States over $500. GOO as five per cent
OF the sales Of public lands in Indiana.
