this decision is clearly apparent to all

The Norfolk appropriation which is
part of the sundry civil bill, seems as

The famous steamer Three Friends ar

ly famous Mexican tug Asturias and two
barges in tow. She crossed the bar
early this morning but her trip up the
river was slow on account Of the heavy

II was rumored on the street Tuesday
that the Three Friends had turned her
barges and the tug over 10 the captain
of tug o. y. Williams from Miami and
that she culd proceed to Fernandnand
ship arms and ammunition for Cuban
soil. The theory Of the tattlers Is ex-
ploded. but the next thing in their minds
will have to be something bearing on the
new tug that has been brought up 10 the
river by the Three Friends. 1t has been
suggested that the Asturias IS about the
right size for filbusterng.

Conditions OF Cape Charles That Cause
Conundrum.

(Onuutfuh.
WASHINGTON, March 24-Speclal.-
The recent decision Of the Postmaster
General that the tenure OF office OF a
postmaster who has been raised from
the fourth class TO the Presidential grade
shall begin from the date of his first ap-
pointmenr. is not exactly In the line OF
precedent established by his Immediate
predecessor.
on more than one occasion during the
last administration il was decided that
the official term Of a postmaster who had
been raised 10 the Presidential grade
began anew from the date of his Presi-
Dental appointment. There are several
postmastcrs in Virginia whose terms VIII
be considerably shortened in consequence
Of this decision. who hoped that POST
master-General Gary would have been as
liberal I'm his Interpretation as his pre-
decessor was.
The postonice at Cape Charles. how
ever. presents complication that Is not
cleared up even by this ruling. Mr.. G. T.
Moore. who was made postmaster at TINS
place on the Ord day of July. 1888. was
removed on account Of charges. and Mr.
John w. Carroll appointed on the "a or
August. 1894. Last July the Office was
raised to the Presidential grade. but Mr.
Carroll was not confirmed until SHIRT
time ago. He Is still postmaster az cape
Charles. but the question naturahy
arises Does his term expire four years
from the date of his own first appoint
ment or from the date of his predecessor
Mr.. Moore. whose unexpired term he
was appointed TO server
II is very probable that the matter VIII
be brought to the attention OF the POST
master-General in a short time, as there
are several gentlemen who are anxious
10 relieve Mr.. Carroll OF his charge.
