Improved Grade of Work.

The use OF superior paper and other ma
terial," says Mr. Benedict, with the hearty
cooperation Of skilled and intelligent en-
ployes in the typographical, foundry and
press divisions Of the office, has resulted in
a more noticeable improvement in the pub
locations OF the office during he year than
ever before. The excellence of the typo
graphical appearance, illustrations, press
work and bindingof some OF the publications
has not only brought most flattering testi-
monials from the departments and library
and printing circles at home, but has at
tracted the attention OF the bookma king

Increase of Work.

The amount of printing done during the
year was largely in excess OF the previous
year, and the per cent OF growth much
above the average. The use OF paper was
the larges st in the history OF the institution,
reaching a total Of 3 ,457 tons This is
go tons more than was required the pre-
vious year, and 634 tons more than was
ever before used in a single year. The
bindery cons umed 90 tons of binders board,
6.102 pieces of bookcloth, and 4 800
SheepSkns, besides other leather. There
were printed and delivered 6 ,461 ,063
bound and dunboundpamphletsan and speeches.
and OF bills, resolutions, etc, 1, IT'S. l05
copies, being ., 5,46S, ,255 in excess of the
number at the previous long session Of Con-
gress.
There were bound and delivered from the
bindery ,255, asa octave and qaarto vol
umes incloth handleather .notincludingblank
books and ledgers. The reserve binding OF
Congress was brought up, nearly complete,
to the Fifty-foprth Congress, gain of
% $50 bound books in this much-delsyed
work.
To show how the public printing is grow
ing a comparison is made OF figures for
1887 with last year, both being under Mr..
BenediCt'S administration. In 1887 the
paper used was 2.71s tons, against 8, ,457
last year. and the cost OF labor was ST.
S27 ,3l5, against 2,657 ,267. The aver
age number OF employees in 1887 was
2,095, against 2,S2S last year. or the
increased cost OF labor S75 600 is credited
To higher scale OF wages. and to additional
labor owing to Improvements. Notwith
standing this, however, a little calculation
will show that the increase OF paper in the
interim since 1887 has been 101 per cent
while the increase Of cost of labor has been
only Al per cent, while the increase in the
number OF employesis Is only 50 per cent.
The cost of labor was S222, ,049 less than
in 1894, while the amount OF paper made
up into books was ga tons more.

Politicians Take This to ne q step e. the later

Admission That THO Lew Doom Is WaninE.
The Hon. Charles II, Treat, Chairman OF the
Campaign Committee OF the Republican Club OF
the city of New York, made the following
official announcement last night:
AT n meeting OF tho Campaign Committee of
the Republican Club tho following-named
gentlemen were appointed as n conference COM
mittee to confer with other political organiEa-
tons: James A. Blanchard, C%hairman; Alexan-
der I. Mason, Edmund G. Wetmore, James W.
Halves, William Brookncld, John Sabine Smith,
Adclbert II. Steele. Arthur L. Merriam, Charles
Il. Treat, and Edward w. Harris"
The Campaign Committee of the Republican
Club includes among Its members important
members of tho Citizens Union. First among
them is Elihu Root, who is considered by all who
arc familiar with the situation to DO tho head,
front, and shoulders of the Citizens Union.
Others are John Proctor Clarke, Alfred r.
Conkling. Henry Gleason. James 8. Lehmaier.

COMMITTEES had been appointed to confer with
other political organizations was accepted last
night by politicians to mean that the Repub-
iican Club and Its Campaign Committee, includ-
ing among It's members some OF the prominent
GIFTS. had no sympathy at all with the first dec
%laration OF the Citizens Union, that II would not
confer with other political organizations. In
other words, the Republican Club OF the city OF
New York and its Campaign Committee, includ-
Ing among Its members some of the prominent
members OF the Citizens Union, have, in tho
official announcement Of Chairman Treat, made
Il plain that tho first policy Of the Citizens
Union was erroneous, and that every effort now
will be made to confer with the regular organi-
cation.
All who heard last night Of Chairman Treats
announcement were inclined to believe that the
conference OF tho Republican Club
is In the interest of Mayor Strong. who vetoed
the charter OF tho Greater New York. Several
members Of the conference committee named
arc ofnceholders under Mayor Strong. .Elihu
Root 10 Mayor Strong's personal counsel: Mr..
blanchard holds an important Office under Mayor
Strong; William Brookteld has declared over
and over again within the last month that he is
for Strong, and Mr.. Brookfeld was Mr.. Strong's
first Commissioner Of Public Works; John
Sabine Smith is altogether friendly TO Mayor
Strong, and SO is Judge Hawos. In fact. there
is not q man on the committee who Is unfriendly
to the Mayor. Mr.. Treats announcement was
taken as almost an avowal that the candidacy Of
Seth Low. as propagated by the Citizens Union,
Is ut low tide.

no doubt about the great abundance Of gold.
Still, IL you want my advice I say. unless you
are prepared to take your life in your hands

hard to picture oven In imagination In getting
to the Klondike after you have reached Alaska;
unless you arc prepared for the extreme OF win
ter's cold and of summer heat and to endure
black flies and mosquitoes that render life al
most uncomfortable. don't go.
AT all events, don't venture on the trip
this season. The Klondike is 600 miles travel
beyond Juneau. Dnd starting now. even II in the
rush you succeed in getting transportation as
far as Juneau. you cannot possibly get beyond
20 your destination in time 10 do any prospect
ing before next spring; and it is exceedingly
doubtful II you will be able to find employment

HAVANA, via Key West, July 26.-Althoueh
the Government has taken great care to pre-
vent the publication Of any news concerning the
case of the Competitor prisoners, the report
that Messrs. Melton and Laborde have been sct
at liberty has circulated largely In Havana, os-
pecially IN Muralla street, the well-known
place OF business Of the most incorporating
Spanish merchants.
The report has produced great excitement
among those Spaniards. who believe that their
Government Is yielding. to q humtliating ex-
tent, to the demands OF tho American Admins
%tration. The Spanish press hero, echoing these
sentiments, is printing tho grossest insults
directed against tho United States and Gen.
Lee. 1t is said that a public demonstration
against tho Americans has been proposed In
Muralla street and that preparations for IL are
making.
Tho authorities are trying to calm the people.
They declare that Consul-G enera Lee is on very
friendly terms with Gen. Woyler and all the
authorities. Though those who are abusing tho
American Consul are only q turbulent minority,
tho fact that the Diario de la Marina has sided
with them is considered to have grave BigniH-
canoe. and the situation may become very seri-
Gus at any moment.
Tho return of Gen. weylor to Havana has boon
signalized by the arrest of many Cuban women
Of well.known families In the capital. Similar
arrests have also been mado in Guanabacoa.
The house on Luz street, Guanabacoa, where
Sehora Rosario Morales lived with her family
was invaded by the Spanish police. who searched
the house and arrested Sehora Morales and all
the other inmates. The well-known family of
Sehor Macias, In Guanabacoa also, was arrested
and roughly treated.
This outrage IL the result OF Gen. Woylor's
order to the police several months ago to look
out very carefully for the Cuban women, be-
cause they are moro dangerous to the public
peace than the men themselves"
Near Gibara, Puerto Principe province. an
