LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Sheep and Lambs-The supply fell oft
a little from the large amount that was
received last week, but this had no effect
on the prices. The latter remained at
a steady figure and was unshake n by the
amount received during the week. Buy
ers of the stock were generally active
and took up offers at prices obtained a
week ago, although large sales We're few.
Northern and Eastern Beef Cattle
Receipts very light. They sold at the
same prices as last week.
Western Cattle-None offered on the
home market or consigned to Eastern
slaughterers. They were wholly for
the export trade.
Veal Calves-This stock was the only
one on the market in which there was a
change of condition. There was
smaller supply than last week, but this
had the effect of sending the prices UP
Il higher than last week. This was the
only rise of the market.

sarily be OF smaller dimensions, as it
would be dangerous to attempt to take
one of our deep-draft battleships up to
Portsmouth yard in the channel as it is
at present. The construction of one of
khe largest class of dry docks at that
yard would not, therefore, be deemed
advisable until the channel shall have
been improved.

1t is officially announced that the
president and postmaster general have
agreed upon a modification of the rale
announced shortly after the administr&-
ton assumed charge that postmasters
would be allowed to serve out their full
terms unless removed for cause. It is
now expected that wholesale appoint
ments to postofflces will soon be made.
From now the postmaster general will
consider as having expired all postoff1ces
which are due to expire between now
and July Is. The reason for the modif-
cation of the announced policy is that it
is the desire to fill as many offices before
the expiration Of the fiscal year. so that
new accounts may be begun then.

While the president is away the guns
of the office-seekers have been trained
upon Chairman Hanna of the Republ1-
can national committee. Chairman
Hanna's office in the Glover building
these day frequently looks very much
like the waltz room at the White
House when the president is here. Many
of the same old faces are to be seen,
wearing the same look of anxiety. When
the president is away the Office-seekers
work wires with Chairman Hanna,
hoping to make progress that way.
Sometimes they get assistance, but
often the Republican chairman informs
them that he has nothing to do with the
affair. Chairman Hanna is every day
listening to certain elements of Repub-
leans These are the factions in the
various states which have been sat down
upon by the national committee as not
the regular factions. The sitting down,
however, is never regarded as final, and
the depressed followers of the sup
pressed foo+'~1 are always making eff
orts to + We something done for men on
their side All the little squabbles in
the southern states and elsewhere are
first carried to Chairman Hanna and
passed upon by him before cases are
presented to the president. The fight
for office goes merrily on, with Chair
man Hanna as umpire in large num-
Der of cases.

Senator Hawley of Connecticut and
Congressman Sulloway of New Hamp-
shire strolled up to the White House the
other day. 1t was picturesque couple.
General Hawley is short and stout,
while Sulloway, better known at home
ms "the tall pine Of the Merrimac," is
tall and thin. The former spoke a good
word for Ransom Payne of Oklahoma,
who wants to be marshal there, and
Mr.. Sulloway endorsed Colonel D. F.
Haley of New Hampshire, who is a can
didate for United States marshal in the

the assessment of duty on raw ostrich
feathers. The board of general APP
praisers at New York held that in their
raw state they were not Suitable for

Colonel Charles Smart of the medical
department of the army has just re-
turned to this city from a western trip,
during which he made very successful
experiments with the emergency ration.
He accompanied Captain o. J. Brown of
the First cavalry and A cavalrymen on
a march of 210 miles. They left Fort
Sill, Oklahoma, May II, subsisted on full
rations two days, and then for 10 days
depended solely on the emergency
ration, consisting of eight ounces hard
bread, five ounces bacon, two ounces
pea meal, one ounce coffee, one tablet
saccharine, onefourth ounce tobacco
and portions of salt and pepper.
The party Travelled about q miles
day, during which time the weather was
pleasant, except for two days, when it
rained. At the end of the expedition
the men had lost on an average of three
pounds weight, but tests with the
dynamometer showed an average in
crease of 40 pounds in strength.
Another party of 10 cavalrymen under
Lieutenant w. H. Osborne, First cav
airy, with pack mules Travelled the same
distance in the same time by parallel
lines with full rations. These men lost
an average of 1 1-3 pounds per man in
weight owing to the change from gar
riSon life. Roads were avoided, direc-
lions being ascertained by compass.

Gcrmnn Postage stnrnps.

Contrary to tho custom of most mon
archs, Emperor William ii Of Germany
has never allowed his cfiigy to be on
graved upon postage stamp, and philat.
elists and the world in general have
wondered at the modesty in this respect
of the young kaiser, who usually is not
averse to having his features displayed
before the eyes of his admring subjects.
No direct and authentic reason has been
given why the Prussian black eagle has
not been long ago replaced by the kai-
ser S eifi2y, but perhaps an explanation
may be found i'll the strain of supersti.
ton which more than once has iufiu-
enced the action of the Hohcnzollerns.
The Prussian stamps issued from 1886
to 1898 bore the image Of Frederick
William ~. But the year before he be-
came legally insane he had it replaced
with the black eagle, for hc could not
bear TO see his countenancc soiled and
multilated by the postoflice employees.
y few years ago an enterpriSing Berlin
manufactures had lead pencils made,
upon which was stamped II has relief
head of William III. The minister of ed
ucation at once ordered schOolteachors
not to allow their pupils TO use these
particular pencils "sincc the children
