CANCELLATION OF STAMPS.
A New Invention to BE Supplied to

the POstOffices.
Washington, Jan. IA new handstamp
to be used for the cancellation of mail
matter will soon be adopted by the post
office department. That now in use has
been found to be unsatisfactory in several
respects, the principal defect being that
the impression made was not always COM
plete and clearly defined. Several months
ago the department invited inventors to
submit designs for new stamps whose prin-
ciple advantages should be in the direc-
ton of simplicity, durability and cheap
ness. In consequence, about 200 such de-
signs were submitted. Those have been
under examination by a committee con-
sisting of Alexander Grant, W. H. La
mar and NJ. w. Lewis. They have agreed
on a design, which they think is best
adapted for use of the service, and have
made a report to Postmaster General
Gary. The new stamp will be adopted
gradually taking the place of the cid
ones as fast as the department deems 1t
practicable.

London, Jan. 14.-It is admitted, on good
authority that the end of the engineers
strike is not far removed, though the Iu-
mors which caused the rise in Scotch
railways were premature. 1t appears that
the London engineers have consented to
abandon the forty-eight hour demand; but,
so far, the North of England engineers
have not consented which justified Mr..
Barnes, secretary of the Amalgamated So
ciety of Engineers, in refusing to join the
committees that have yielded.

PHILIPPINE EXPEDITION SAILS
Three Vessels Leave San Fran cisco to
Assist Dewey-Carry Total
of 1850 Men.

San Francisco, May 26.-The Philip
pine relief expedition sailed Wednesday
at five p. m, and in six days, if all goes
well, the vessels will enter Honolulu
harbor and join the Charleston. The
three transports carried close on to g.
500 men. The expedition, which is I'M
der command of Brig. Gen. Anderson,
consists of four companies Of regulars
under command of Maj. Robe; the First
reg ment California volunteers, Col.
Smith; the First regiment Oregon VOL
unteers, Col. Summers; a battalion of
so heavy artillery, Maj. Gary; about
100 sailors, and II naval officers. The
fleet is loaded with supplies TO last a
year and carries big cargo of am
munition and naval stores for Admiral
DeWey's fleet. The Zealandia is being
prepared to carry soldiers, but none of
the other transports are in port. 1t is
thought here the fleet that left here
Wednesday will net keep company with
the Charleston after leaving Honolulu.
They all carry enough to coal to steam
ait full speed from Honolulu to Manila,
while the Charleston, in order to econ
omize coal, will not go faster than ten
