sANDow's PRIVATE EXHIBITION.
In his psrlor at the Wyoming durin z
Yesterday afternoon Sandow gave a
private exhibition of his wonderfully y
developed physique before an audience
composed principally Of medical and
newspaper men. He had just returned
from bicycle spin and after moment
in his private apartment appeared be-
fore his critical audience with his upper
body nude and wearing knee bicycle
trousers and corded stockings.
He first showed the contraction Of
the principle muscles Of the front and
back which were more than wonderful
and during the remainder Of the ex-
hibition the beauty OF bis development
to the individual eye appeared In its
symetry aud uniformity. Neither his
arms nor legs are exceedingly large
but were perfectly formed. When not
contracted the muscles felt to the
touch as smooth aud plisbls as the
skin of child, which condition, physi.
cal experts say. should appear in a
healthful body.
Sandow does not resemble any other
style Of "strong man" but represents
rather the ordinary man of good NOR =
als. His neck. for instance, while not
abuormally large, showed the faint
tracings Of small round muscles al
most unknown in the medical profess

WITHHOLDING PAY,
Recommended the Soldiers BE Paid
Their Full Wages.

Paymaster General Smith, In his annual
report to the Secretary of War, calls at
tention to the fact that the soldiers de-
posits have increased s10,oS2 during the
year; gratifying Increase in view of the
fact that the deposits had been falling off
in preceding years, and OF the further fact
that a soldier with a deposit account rare
ly leaves the service without an honorable
discharge. The expenditures on account
of pay of the army show an increase of
s215,G53 over the preceding year, due in
part to the fact that the enlisted force was
more nearly kept at Its maximum limit.
The fact that the expenditures on account
of pay of volunteers were s493 653 less than
last year Is taken as an indication that
these claims are being exhausted The
paymaster general recommends the abo-
lition Of the system of Withholding a por-
ton of the soldiers pay until he Is dis
charged. The travel allowance of the SOL
dier is ample to take him home when dts
charged, and Ii Is not necessary to with
hold pay for that purpose. Any system
which makes the soldier dependent de-
tracts from his manhood and efficiency.
Many men enlist, being told that their pay
will be $13 per month, only to find that
through deductions on account of cloth
ing and withheld pay, two or three months
must elapse before he can receive any pay.
He regards this a breach of contract
and deserts Therefore. it is recommended
that the system, which Is cumbersome,
complicated and obsolete, be abolished.
1t is also recommended that there be
but one common pay chest for the army,
and that all disbursements be made
through the bonded officers of the pay
corps, instead of being divided up between
non-bonded dsbursing officers, who last
year distributed half of the army appro-
priations.

BETTER POSTAGE STAMPS
Those Now Made by the Government Are
Up to the Standard.
Difficulties That Beset the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing When
Stamp Manufacture Began.

officials of the bureau of printing and
engraving think that the complaints of the
Inferior quality of the new postage stamps
printed by the bureau are disproportionate
to the grounds for dissatisfaction. Mr..
Claude M. Johnson, chief Of the bureau,
admits that some of the product of the
establishment was not up to the standard.
but says: To-day we are printing as good
stamps, after three months e erience in
the work. as the American Bank Note Com
pany did after twenty years. There was
naturally more or less difficulty in teach
ing the new workmen all the processes Of
stamp making, SO that part of the pro-
duct was more or less experimental but
all difficulties have been overcome, the
bureau is using the most modern ma
chimes. some of them invented here. Is
putting the best materials into the stamps
and is securing the best results, as We can
demonstrate to any fair-minded person.
We have redeemed all stamps which have
been returned, and stand ready to ex-
change any others which do not prove
satisfactory"
The American Bank Note Company, Mr.
Johnson explained, kept large supply of
stamps printed ahead of the demand, SO
that 1t was able to retain all 1t printed In
its vaults until they were perfectly season.
put into use. The bureau, on the other
hand was for some time obliged to send
out the stamps as fast as they were print
ed before the Workmen had become thor
Oughly familiar with ali the processes
Now much of the first output is coming
back.
The colors of different lots vary accord
ing to condition Of the temperature and
other factors which cannot lie controlled,
but are fast being brought to the utmost
practicable Uniformity.
Some time was required for the workers
to become expert in the use of tho gum
ming machines, but Mr.. Johnson is sure
that they have become rs efficient as could
be expected, and that there will be no
further trouble because stamps fail to
stick.
Mr.. johnson is confident Rat the postage
stamps of the present and future issues
will be of the same nign quality as the
bank notes and internal revenue stamps,
which have given the bureau a worldwide
reputation for skillful and artistic work.

POST OFFICE RENT.
Before City Building is Finished II
Will Make q FSrtune.

1t Is no small item to the owners of the
building that is now being temporarily used
for post office purposes that the rate Of
progress on the stone structure that is
being erected on Pennsylvania avenue as a
post office is wretchcdly slow. They have
an interest in this matter that no one else
can possibly have. The government is
now paying rent at the rate of $4,000 Il
year for the basement and first and second
stories of the building on G street for this
purpose. At the rate established in the
many, many days gone by, this job will
last until the building is one of the land
marks of Washington, though II was erect
ed but short time ago. At the same rate,
we'll nigh enough money Will have been
paid out in rents before the new building
is occupied TO have put up almost as good
a structure as that which the government
is now only partly occupying. Five years
of such rental at $4,000 year would
mean $4,000 and five years will not, by
any means, cover the rent period unless
some new way is found to infuse life into
the governments enterprise. Ten years
will be much nearer the mark, and that
Will mean an outlay of 100000 in rents
The building would probably now be valued
at about s250,0OO, and as only a part is
taken up by the post Office, 1T will be seen
that in ten years the government will
have put out enough money as rent to put
up temporary structure that would be Of
great use afterward. There were forty two
men at work on the building this morning,
which gives rate, according to The Stars
geneI Gus estimate, that would finish the
building on or about the 10Th of March,
1899 The present tenancy of the Union
building by the government began on May
30. 1892. that by the time thus fixed by
the rate Of todays progress. the total rem
tai paid out by the waiting government
would be s9S,667, exclusive of interest.

Arguments have been begun in the United
States Supreme Court in the case of the
Bate Refrigerator Company against
Schwarzchild and Sulzberger, the decision
Of which is expected to decide the import
ant point of how far the life of a patent
in this country is affected by the existence
Of patent rights in foreign countries. In
the present case the refrigerator company
is represented by Messrs. c. E. Mitchell,
ex-commissioner Of patents. and James c.
Carter; and the defendants by Wheeler H.
PeckhanI, Edmund Wetmore and Leonard
E. Curtis.
The case comes to the Supreme Court on
question certified from the United
States court Of appeals for the second cir
cult, the question being whether the in
vention for which the patent was issued
to Bate has been previously patented in
a foreign country within the meaning of
section 4SS7 of the Revised Statutes and
whether the patent expired under the
terms of this section before the expiration
OF the term Of seventeen years from its
date" The question thus raised has been
question of controversy, and affects
many patents, including Edison's incandes-
cent lamp patent.

pointed to his place by President Cleve-
land in 1854 He has been a most efficient
official. Mr.. Jackson Is a graduate of the

cially.
Another appointment made by the Pres
ident today was that of John d. HarreIl of

TODAY'S CABINET MEETING
The Financial Question and the Eastern
War Mediation Discussed


Finance and diplomacy are said to have
engaged the principal share Of the
attention Of the President and his ad-
visers at their semi-weekly conference
at the White House today. Secretary
Carlisle took a large bundle of docu-
ments from the Treasury Department
bearing on the past, present and pros
pective condition Of the national exchequer,
and presumably submitted an outline OF
his plan for "A reform Of our financial sys-
TEN, referred to and indorsed by the Pres
ident in his recent statement in regard
to their harmony on financial matters.
Secretary Gresham also had a heavily
laden portfolio, but so far as known was
unable to report satisfactory progress in
the negotiations opened by the United
States at the instigation of Great Britain
for stopping the war between China and
japan. 1t seems that the latter country is
not quite satisfied that the time has come
to make terms of peace, especially as
China, the only country directly concerned,
has made no overtures to her In that d.
rection. The impression Is growing that
the administration made mistake In this
case in departing from the time-honored
policy of the United States Of steering
clear Of all foreign entanglements. In the
words Of a prominent diplomat THE
United States should keep her hands off
ard not meddle. no matter how good her
intentions may be-.
The fact was developed today that the
Tsung-Li-Yamen Of China, which is the
cabinet council Of the empire, made a
direct request to the United States that
this government offer it's services as me-
diator. Heretofore 1t has been understood
that the request from China was that this
government Join other powers in interven-
ing, to which this government responded
in the negative and offered to act alone.
1t now appears, however, that the inde-
pendent action of this government was
formally requested by the Tsung-Li-Yamen.
1t was also developed today that the
made by the United States to Japan is as
follows: "If the United States were in a
position to exercise its good offices in
bringing about an understanding between
China and Japan, would Japan feel that 1t
would be prejudicial to her interests to
have such influences exertedT
1t Is pointed out that this diplomatic
language makes no offer to Japan. but
merely inquiries how she would entertain
mediation in case the United States was
in a position to offer 1t.
The State Department has received Of
fetal inform oA that a special meeting of
the Jvpaness ministry has been called for
tomorrow to consider final answer to
the offer Of the United States to mediate
between China and JaI All. The delay thus
far is explained by the fact that the cab
met meets at Toxic, while the emperor,
who has had to be consulted, is at Hiro-
be Is not definitely known, yet strong in
timations have reached the officials here
that the cabinet will ask that China either
make her offer direct to- Japan or else
free 1t from all doubt by specifying the
exact amount of indemnity she will pay.

SOME EARLY OFFERS.
Capitalists Alrs ady Bidding ON til
New BoEd Issue.


New BoEd Issue.
Several responses have been already
made to Secretary Carlisle's call for sub
scriptions to the new s5O00O,O 900 per cent
loan, but as a rule they are small in
amount. These offers are sealed and will
be treated as confidential until II O'Clock
on the oath instant, when they Will be
scheduled for the consideration and action
of the department.
1t is not expected that any very large
offers will be made until the very last day,
as the order of their reception cuts no
figure in the case, and there is a manifold
advantage in delay. All the offers 50 far
received have been referred unopened to
Mr.. Huntington, chief of the loans and cur
rency division, with Instructions to keep
them together and ready for consideration
at the appointed time. The daily corre-
spondence of the department shows that
great interest is taken in the success Of
the loan and there is every indication that
the loan will be oversubscribed and at
better terms than the one Of February
last. The impression prevails that New
York bankers will get most of the bonds,
using their own and not the government
gold in the transaction, and that a good
slice of the bonds will be taken by foreign
investors.

DEBS AND OTHERS PLEAD.
Indicted for Conspiracy in COnnec
tiOn With the Great Strike.

CHICAGO, November 16.-President
Debs and Secretary Keliher of the A. R.
U. appeared before Judge Grosscup in the
United States district court today to plead
to the indictments returned against them
for conspiracy I'm connection with the great
railway strike. Owing to the absence of
Judge Woods, the case was continued to
December 4. when the argument of the de-
fense to quash the Indictments will be
heard. Should the motion to quash be
overruled. the hearing will be had on
January o.
Sixty-nine of the men indicted for con-
spiracy were in court today, and the hear
ing of all went over until December 4.
Should the motion to quash the indict-
ments be overruled, one of the defendants,
probably Debs, will be selected for trial
at the January term. and the result of the
other indictments will hinge upon the out
come of the test case.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Wants n Reconsideration,

A. NJ. Raymond of 7o6 18th street north
east says in a letter to the Commissioners
today that their reasons in deciding against
his appeal from the water main as
sessment along lot %, block 80, Rose
dale, is both foolhardy and ridiculous and
that their determination not to reconsider
the matter is arrogant and unjust. He
submits additional reasons why the mat
ter should be reconsidered.
A Barking Dog Nuisance.
The corresponding secretary of the Medi-
cal Society of the District of Columbia has
appealed to the Commissioners to abate
the nuisance of barking dog, which reg
ularly interrupts the meeting. The dog is
domiciled in one of the houses on 9th
street between ID and K.
The Opening of sshool Street.
The chairman Of the committee on
streets of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens As
sociation has written to the Commissioners
asking that steps be taken looking to the
opening of School street by extension
south to Kenesaw aversle, either by agree
ment on reasonable consideration, If pos
sible, or by condemnation proceedings, II
necessary. He says the citizens are anx-
ious about this and trusts that the Com
missioners will see fit to do 1T. The new
school building now being erected on
School street is convenient and accessible
Tor patrons on Park street ana nOTtn Oh
1t, but the children on Kenesaw avenue
and all streets south will be compelled to

thence by way Of Park and School streets

No Sewer This Year.
Relative to the request Of A. V. Moore
of No. 1903 Park street that a sewer be
constructed on 18th street extended be-
tween Whitney and Lydecher avenues dur
ing the present fiscal year, Capt. Beach. in
his report to the Commissioners today,
recommends that he be Informed that the
available funds of the sewer division will
not permit the construction of this sewer
during the present fiscal year. This sewer
he says, is now on the schedule of sewers
to be constructed during the fiscal year
1896. provided Congress appropriates funds
sufficient.

That forty-five gasoline lamps be estab-
lished in Tenleytown. ....-.
