joint resolution to continue assisting ap-
preparations for thirty days. Unless
this resolution should pass and re-
ceive the Presidents signature on or
before Saturday next all the wheels of gov
ernment will be blocked and the pay OF
every person in the service of the Govern
ment, from the President down to the
humblest official will stop. Should Mr..
Hoar persist in his purpose of op-
posing the reference of the resolution Tor
the next two mornings during the
few minutes interval which elapse
between the obtaining of quorum and the
call of the regular order tthe tariff bilD at
1890 A. NJ, he can prevent the passage OF
the resolution The only course now open
for the majority win be the dangerous ex-
pertinent of laying aside the tariff bill till
the expenses of continuing the government
are provided for.
1t is believed that the necessity of the pas
sage of the joint resolution to continue ex-
penditures is the real obstacle in the way of
Mr.. Cleveland's leaving the city. 1t is un-
derstood that his valet has had the Presi-

POST OFFICE CLERKS SALARIES
Bill Fixing the Pay of First and
Second Glass Clerks

Second Glass Clerks.
WASHINGTON, June 28, 1894.-The 1000
clerks in the postal service, 1900 OF whom
are located in New York City alone, will be
much interested in knowing that the
bill classifying clerks in first and
second clast post offices and giving them
a fixed salary will be called up in
the House within the next fortnight.
The author of the BILL Mr.. Dunphy of New
York, believes that the sentiment of the
members is strongly favorable to its passage.
Mr. Dunphy feels that great injustice has
been done to these faithful public servants.
Their pay, he says has been much smaller
than it would otherwise have been had their
salaries been fixed by law, as is the case with
every other class of governmental employees.
Moreover under the present system, it
varies from year to year, according as the
postmaSters may elect without regard to the
interests of the clerks. The purpose of the
bill is to divide the clerks into two classes;
one half of whom shall be designated as first
class, and the remainder as second class.
the first-ciass clerks shall be divided into five
grade who shall receive respectively 81, ,4GO,
81 800 81 200. $1,109. and 81 900 per
annum. Second class clerks snail hereafter
enter the service at 5000 per annum and
shall receive an annual increase until the
maximum salary shall amount to 5000. All
appointments to the service shall be made to
clerkships of the second class and no appoint
ment to the first class shall be made except
by promotion from the second class.
The bill further provides that no clerk
shall receive less salary after the passage
of the bill than he was receiving prior there
to, and no clerk shall be reduced from q
higher to lower grade except for lneffi-
cheney or other good cause Clerks in sec
ond class postoffices shall enter the service at
$500 per annum and shall receive an annual
increase of 500 until they attain a salary of
5000

SMITH FOR INCOME TAX.
The Junior New Jersey Senator Will
Vote for the Bill.


WASHINGTON, D. c., June 28, 1894.-When
it was stated some two months ago that Sen
ator Smith of New Jersey, would vote for
the tariff bill, income tax and all, the asser-
ton was received with considerable in
credulity and in some quarters positively de-
MED at that time. Senator Smith had just
delivered in the Senate a speech which
seemed to place him upon a platform OF hos
tility to the bill and it is but fair to say that
the disbelief in the prediction or these de-
spatches had some foundation.
As soon as the bill is reported to the Sen
ate however, Senator Smith will come out
boldly in the Senate and announce his inten-
ton of voting for the bill, income tax and
all.
His speech will be very brief, but to the
point. He viii cite the changes for the bet
ter which have been made in the income tax
clauses of tie bill. removing many OF It's OBJ
iections. and will defend himself for oppos-
ing certain features of the proposed reduc-
tion in customs duties He will claim some
credit for having secured beneffcial modlfi-
cations. and reconciles his present friendll-
ness with his former antagonlsm.
AS matter of fact, there will be forty
three Democratic vote; for the bill. Senator
Hill will cast the only negative vote on the
Democratic side. 1t may be that Senators
Kyle and Allen will also vote with the
Democrats, but their assistance is mol neceS-
sary. The bill can and will be passed with
out them.
Senator Smith took part in the debate yes
terday for the first time since his speech at
the beginning of the tariff discussion, pro-
posing an amendment which would exempt
small stockholders in corporations from the
operations of the income tax. The amend
nent was defeated, but it gave the New Jer-
sey Senator chance to point out the impor-
tance of preserving the rights OF these small
stockholders. He said that in New Jersey
large number of corporations were made up
of men with small means who were endeav-
oring to build up large business, and he
did not think that they ought to be hamper
ed by paving an income tax.

SECRETS OF THE EYE.
Ne w Instruments Used I'm the Science
of Ology.

Ne w Instruments Used En the science
of Opthalmology.
The London Opticion, in describing the re-
markable progress that has been made of late
years in the treatment of eye diseases, says
that with the ophthalmoscope and opthalmo-
meter there are very few problems with re-
gard to the functions and diseases of the
human eye that can not be determined by
an expert in very few moments of time.
1t may safely be asserted that there is no
department of knowledge of the functions
and diseases of the human body that is so
advanced as that of ophthalmology, and this
has been the work of the civilization of the
nineteenth century. With the ophthalmo-
scope the circular opening in the iris, which
we call the pupil, is made window looking
in upon scarlet picture, in the centre OF
which is a beautiful white moonlike disk
over which radiate vessels puIsating with,
the blood constantly pumped in by the
heart The darker returning current in the
veins is also seen, while the varying and al
most numberless changes made by disease
are noted by the practiced eye, and tell
tale of warning and often of woe. The en-
trance of the optic nerve In the retina,
little spot one-seventeenth of an inch in
diameter, is made to appear as white disk.
Besides all this, the lens and the great
vitreous humor-those transparent struct-
ures that make up the greater part of the
interior of the eye-are so lighted up that
any changes in them, however minute, are
magnifed by their own power as lenses, and
clearly seen. With the instrument for
measuring the radius of the cornea, the
ophthalmometer, another variety of revela-
tion is made, which reduces the choosing Of
glasses to aid vision to a purely scientific
problem, easily and exactly solved, and
with satisfaction in the solution that
removes the whole subject far from the
humdrum and mechanical ideas that are
often associated with such an occupation.

DUPBD BY INSURGENTS.
Young Engineers Escape From
Risky Situation.

Risky Situation.
BOSTON, June 2S, 1S94-The steamer Car
Isle, which arrived at this port yesterday,
brought back from Bluefields six men,
comprising party who, owing to an
attractive advertisement in a Denver
paper, signed by local concern
known as Gonzalez & Company went to
Nicaragua, under the leadership of M. B.
King. 1t was represented that their work
would be to make complete hydrographical
and Typographical survey, preliminary. to
the erection of Notifications by the
Nicaragua government.
The emolument offered for such services
as the six young engineers were to render
was considerable, Judged from an
American standpoint, and, to make
the offer still more tempting, a generous
deposit was made by the Denver con
Germ in one of the local banks. With con-
tracts duly signed, no time was lost in max
ing their way, by steamer from San
Francisco down the west coast. and finally
overland to the scene of the works
Here they were met by party Of Nicara-
quans, and instructions necessary for carry
ing on their work given in detail. Before
however, they had been given an op-
port,lnity to get down to business,
one of the men, becoming suspicious
at the queer proceedings Of the natives,
finally OWNED that they were in the EN-
ploy Of agents of the insurgents and not
in any way acting for the Nicaraguan Gov
ernment.
The seriousness of their position at once
became apparent to every man in the party
and it was voted that they make break for
neutral territory at once They were at
tackled by small body of Government
troops the morning of June and an attempt
was made to arrest the Americans The
latter, however being well armed, and hav-
ing no desire to languish in Nlcaraguan iails
awaiting the diplomatic action of the United
States Government to secure their re-
lease, made a bold sortie. and tax
ing the Government troops by surprise,
succeeded in cutting their way through
the lines and after innumerable escapes,
finally reached Bluefields, whence fortu-
nately, the steamer Carlisle was about
to sail The members of the party
are unanimous in attributing the for
tunate escape to the alertness of
their leader, Mr. NJ. B. King, mining and
civil engineer of New Orleans, in detect
ing their dangerous situation and his
alacrity in affecting a timely escape. They
have not forgotten the deposit in the Den
yer bank, which they say is sufficient
to cover all their expenses and salary to
date, and they say they will lose no time in
making their way to that city and efFecting
speedy liquidation with the bank and also
paying their respects to Messrs Gonzalez
and Company.

BERLIN, June. 2S, 1s94.-The Vossische
Zeitung approves the election of M. Casimir
Perier In expressing its satisfaction it
also expresses the hope that under his presi-
dency Frances relations with Germany will
remain unclouded. M. Casimir- Perier, it
says, is strong, energetic man. He will
not be mere shadow at the head of the re-
public, but will stamp out Anarchism and
preserve peace.
The Vor,coerts says NJ. Casimir-Perier was
elected because he was so moderate that he
might be taken for secret Orleanist, and
because he belongs to the richest group Of
the French bourgeoisie He belongs to the
Rothschild-Leon Sey ring, and as such is
shrink from any measure representing the
class interests of the bourgeoisie. France
greets him as safe man to represent the
sanctity of property, which is higher than
all principles of repnblicanism.

go to the District Attorneys effice for

ish Capital.

Variety of People Seen I'm the Turk
ish Capital.
A being on whom my maledictions were
frequently bestowed was the .bekdschis, or
night t-watchman, who makes night hideous
by his cries.
Constantinople is essentially noisy town.
The milkman starts the ball a-rolling, and
from early morn until late at night the
hawkers of different articles cry out their
wares. Towards evening, when the noise
subsidies little, the dogs, who have slept all
day, begin to howl and fight, and as one is
getting accustomed to the cheerful serenade
the will of Allah directs that the night
watchman shall pass by with long-tipped
staff in his right hand with which he
pounds the stones Of the pavement unmerci
fully. Those who are acquainted with the
Turkish method of ascertaining the time can
tell accurately, by the number of blows,
what hour it is; but strangers are apt to
wish they were enjoying the delights of
which Tom Moore writes:-
"A Turkish heaven is easily made
'Tis but black eyes and lemonade"
Thieves however, have good reason to
commend the nihgt-watchman to the special
protection Of Allah. for the tap-tap Of his
stick warns them of his approach, and puts
them On their guard.
One beautiful night-it was already late
we tried to buy the night watchman's staff,
with a view to getting at least a few hours
slumber. We could not bribe him to give
up his insignia of Office, but persuaded him,
for poe3'-boire to lend it to us, and to the
old mans great delight, we pounded away
alternately, one relieving the other. What
the Turks, who ascertained the time by this
process. could have thought, am at a loss to
conjecture. They must have believed that it
was daybrealz, or that the watchman had
suddenly gone mad; but no one troubled
himself about the noise, and in some points |
must say Constantinople is the freest and
most easy going city in the world.-Honae
