CONSULAR returns at Washington show
that the receipts from invoice fees have
largely increased during the last SIX
months. In few cases the fees for one
quarter have equaIed the receipts for
the whole fiscal year 1895. These
returns are regarded as indicative of re-
vival Of business and OF increased i'm

NOnnO Publishers

1t is an interesting fact that all of the
leading publishing houses in New York
are presided over by young men. Says a
New York exchange:
'If you see Il gray hair In a Harpcr's
head it is not from age. J. Henry Harper
who is virtually the head of the house,
his cousin, Brooklyn Joe,' having long
since retired from active business, is not
more than 40, judging entirely by appear
ances. The two Scrjbner sons have not
gray hair between them. Charles Scrib-
ner, the senior member of the firm, is
sUll in his early 3O's. and his brothe rA rthur
is even younger. At the Appleton's you
will find some slight inclination to bald
ness but that is among the younger mem.
bers of the firm. Mr.. WILLIE who is the
active head of the house and the senior
OF the present generation, has some gray
among his brown curls, but he is still a
young man. You need not look for eray
hairs or badness either at Macm;llans.
Mr.. Brett is not more than 80 and yet he is
not only the head of the American house of
Macmillan Co., but he is the house itself,
every one else about the place being
employees. At the Putnams', too, they are
young men. Mr.. Haven Putnam, the elder
brother, may have some gray hidden away
under his brown hair, but it does not show.
1t is in the boards of his younger BROTH
ers that you see the gray hairs. At the
Century company you strike a lot OF
gray hair but most OF it belongs to Mr..
Chichester, who was gray at 90. The
Century men are sim young men,"

PIANOS IN THEIR CABINS.
Austrian Minister Surprised When He
Saw Slav Miners Homes.

Unioutown. Pa .. Oct S.-Baron Hengemul-
Ter, the Austrian minister at Washington,
accompanied by Consul Dcssewil, of Pitts
burg; General Manager Thomas Lynch, OF
the Friok Coke Company; representative OF
the Carnegie Steel Company, and Fred
erick \. Kali, a Slav banker and editor,
Of Connellsville, made an investigation
into the condit ion of the 10000 Slavs
in the coke region Saturday.
The Austrian Government had received
exaggerated accounts of the evictions and
killings attending the strike OF 1894, which
brought the request for an investigation
into the present condition of the Slavs In
the coke region The greater proportion
of Slavs are naturaliZed. Their saw
ings. wages and general living conditions
we're inquired into.
The delegation. visited the Trottcr and
Lcisenring plants. examined the houses,
went down the shafts and saw the miners
at work. and examined a great many Siavs
and people who knew their condition.
Baron Hengemuller will send in favor
able report TO the Austrian government,
being well pleased with the condition of his
countrymen in this region He was sur
prised when taken into Slavs' houses 10
see pianos in the parlors, carpets on the
floors, curtains al the windows, and good
furnishings generally. He was visibly i'm
pressed with the fine condition OF the
miners.

NO RECOMMENDATIONS
Republican Ways and Means Commit
tee Must Ink lie Init iai I've.

tee Must Take the Initiative.
1t is now asserted at the Treasury De
partment that no recommendations Will be
made to the Republican Congress regarding
legislation to increase the revenues.
1t is asserted that, owing to the fact
that the Congress Will be hostile 10 the
Democratic Administration, both the Pres
ideDt and Secretary Carlisle will cali at
tcntion to the condition Of the Trea sury,
and will then wait for the Republican
Committee on Ways and Means to take the
initi tive. There is, therefore, no very
well-dcfined idea as to what measures are
likely to find Endorsement in the House.
There can be DO increase of tariff duties
without the Presidents consent, and if
anything is done for the revenues ii will
be in the directiC.1 of increased internal
revenue tn XatioD.
lnasmuch as the Republicans are likely
TO insist upon Il general revision OF the
tariff, it is generally supposed that moth
ing will he accomplished by Congress to
benefit the Treasury. For this reason the
gradual increase of the receipts is watched
with Interest, because it is believed the
Government must get along for the next
eighteen months with existing legislation.

Two THOUSAND SCHOLARS
Night Schools Begin the Year With
Very Heavy Rolls.
More Money Is Needed to Garry on the
Scheme and Supt. Powell Has
Asked That 1t Be Given.

| The night schools of Washington, at
their opebing last night, enrolled about
1000 pupils. The schools were first or
ganized about five years ago, and have
| steadily grown in favor and Importance.
They are regarded by many educators as
furnishing the best immediate return for
the money expended of any Of the public
schools Supt. Powell is asking the Com
missloners to increase the appropriation
for them by one-third. The expense in
1894 was only Sc, 200.
The new Business High School building
was the busiest place of the evening. 1t Is
there the night high school is taught, and
Principal F. A. spunger had his hands fun
from 6 O'Clock issuing blanks and as
signing pupils to their places. Very many
were already informed as to teachers and
studies by the outline of work given exclu-
sively yesterday by The Times. The only
change in the teaching force is the substi
tuition OF Mr.. Thurston as teacher OF draw
ing for Miss C. Van Doren. Miss Harmon
teaches stenography at this school
large number of persons of mature
years applied, wishing to study short
hand, typewriting and bookkeeping. Sew
eral of them were men of experience and
considerable attaiuments in other branches
OF work. Nearly all the applicants were
intelligent in appearance and neatly
dressed. Supt. Powell, who was present
dnring a part OF the evening, remarked
upon the promising outlook for the school,
considering the material at hand. Those
who remain in the school always make
much more rapid progress than is re-
corded in ordinary schools, because most
OF them are persons who have been de-
prived Of the usual advantages for edu-
cation and take hold of this offer Of their
own accord.
The small number OF hours also allotted
to each study, only eighteen in the whole
term OF fifty yseven days, leaves proper
uonately more time for private study.
For some rea son there is always large
number OF persons enrolled i'll the night
schools. who only remain day or two.
For example. in 1893 there were 800
names on the high school register, but
only 70 average attendance. As rule
nou-attendance for three days causes the
name dropped. Those who remain are
genuinely Interested, and often sacrifice
all anmsements 10 the work of education
So far as possible, the work is adapted
to the needs of the pupils. For example,
at the Franklin school, Principal Hughes
has several Germans well educated in
their own tongue. but lacking in English.
They are allowed to give their whole
time 10 acquiring the desired language.

ELDER POSEY CONVICTED.
Jury Thought He Was an Accessory
TO His Sons Crime.
Especial to The Times.l


Manassas, Va, Oct. .s:-Thc case OF the
commonwealth VS.. George Posey. charged
with being an accessory before the fact in
the killing of Andrew Loveless by Fred
Posey, son of the former, on July 20. which
was tried at the last court and the verdict
set aside on the grounds OF improper con.
duet on the part OF juror, was commenced
yesterday at the regular October term.
Great interest is being manifested, the
courtroom being crowded all day. Mr..
j. B. Thornton represented the common
wealth and Hon. L. f. Meredith the de-
fense. The evidence was much the same us
in the former trial. Posey seemed To have
abiured any paternal affection in his er-
forts to free himself from any blame in the
matter and threw all the crime on the
shoulders of the SON.
The case was given TO the jury at 4:15
p. m, and one hour after they returned,
bringing in verdict of guilty as acces
sorry and giving him one year in the
penitentiary.
