WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE per-
,Onal Incident growing out OF the pub
,Icn,Ion Of Senior Dupuy de Lome's let
Ter 10 Senior Canalejas may be regarded
as settled. This has been brought
abou, by the short cablegram sent by
Minister Wooiford from Madrid in
which he stated that the minister had
resigned and his resignation had been
accepted before he (Mr. woodford) pre-
rented the request of the United States
that no be recalled.
The officials here feel an interest in
learning the details OF the happenings
Ii Madrid yet. and are waiting for Mr..
wcodtord's promised full report. But
unless this should contain some state
,nent that Is not now expected there is
10 disposition on the part OF the gov-
crnment to protract the closing OF this
unpleasant Incident, and 1t Is not ex-
pec,ed that anything in the nature OF n
demand for an apology will be made. II
q graceful disclaimer should come that
will be taken In the spirit In which II Is
made: otherwise the matter will be
dropped and the relations between the
state department and the Spanish le-
cation will run smoothly once more
through the medium of Senior du Bose,
the first secretary and now charge
d dSifaires.
1t can he said for the President that
be shows little personal concern In the
matter as it stands. and Is not disposed
10 pursue Mr.. de LONE in any personal
spirit. and with this spirit in the head
Of the administration, the end OF the af-
fair may be said 10 have been reached.

PNEUMATIC TUBE SYSTEM
FOR rTranspor'imG the Mails In New York
, CITY Opened YrsieriIry.


: WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IA
number OF members OF Congress espe-
cialiy interested in postal matters and
General Shallenberger. the second as
sistant postmaster general were pres
ent to-day at the opening In New York
or circuit number two OF the pneumatic
tube system built for the transmission
OF the mails. The second circuit runs
from the general postoilice to station
H., or the Grand Central railroad sta
tion, and liz three and a half miles IN
length. Good results are looked to from
the new tube. Greater facility IN hand
ling the immense amount OF mail mat
ter passing between the postotilce and
the Grand Central station will be the
greatest advantage gained. As 4 result
OF the Introduction OF the service tho
postal officials believe that resort will
be had 10 the mails for hasty communi-
cation by many persons who heretofore
have used the telegraph for that pur-
pose, Quick service can be obtained by
the use Of the special delivery letters
and tho additional use of the mails is
one of the sources which the officials
believe will ultimately increase the rev.
cnues of the department and more than
paT. for the outlay Involved In the new
scheme. Between 90 and 95 per cent OF
the mail matter transported between
the postolllce and one of the exchanges
where there Is already a pneumatic
tube service In opera ton, goes through
the tube, and the opinion Is expressed
that there should be no reason why that
between the postotllcc and the central
station should not be as generally used.

With Germany Discussed in the ReIch-
atag-very Temperate Epressions.
BERLIN, Feb. 1i.-When the esti-
mates for the German embassy at
Washington were presented in the
Reichstag to-day. discussion arose on
the general relations between Germany
and the United States during which DR..
Barth. the Freisinngo leader. Count
Posadowsky. the minister Of the inter-
ior, and the others participated. DR..
Barth pointing out the great import
ance OF American trade and how the ex-
ports of 1896 had increased 2o,Ooo,ooo
marks.
DR.. Barth said The fact that Germany
abs;ained from reprisals for American
treatment OF German sugar ought nor
to be overlooked by the United States.
At the same time he added, the danger
from the San Jose louise was not SO
threatening as at first assumed.
Count Posadowsky replied that the
measures taken at Hamburg were
owing to the government learning that
large consignment of fruit from an
infected district was on its way there.
Experts, he added, had found breeding
insects In pears already exposed for
sale. and later In consignment of np-
pies.
Count Posadowsky continued: II
have to-day learned that the insect was
also found in Berlin. The greatest pre-
caution consequently Is necessary. The
insect has hitherto not been found in
Germany, and even In America it is
regarded as being very dangerous"
Count Posadowsky then referred to
the various state laws In America.
against the transit of infected fruit.
adding: ITO the uniustitiablc re-
proaches Of the Americans, I would on.
ly reply: DO not to others what thou
wouldst not have done to thee.
1--WE only acted In SELF defense" count
Posadowsky explained. Referring to
the future commercial policy the Count
said: I'VE cannot alter existing treat
les before they expire. We require a
new, autonomous tariff which can be
utilized with the new commercial treat
les. We shall act wisely and not con-
jure up an unnecessary tariff war;but.
the true moment may come when we
shall be compelled to abandon our
passive policy. The greatest art lies In
the maintenance of peace so long as
possible, and hope the government
Will be allowed to decide when the mo-
ment has come TO depart from that Gus

MADRID. Feb, Feb. 1.-THE Impair
clai, referring to the resignation OF Sc
nor Dupuy dc Lone, says:
The government was wise 10 accept
Senior de Lome's resignation. His In
discretion has only occasloned the gov
ernment vesation."
The Liberal takes the same view OF
the case and adds; "Wc do not wish TO
blame the vile conduct OF the persons
capable OF such theft. The reflections
contained In the official and private
correspondence OF Mr.. Taylor were far
graver." !.
The premier. Seror Sagasta. said to
the correspondent OF the Associated

cations, official and private. addressed
to the government, he spoke respect

On the question OF Senior de Lome's
successor, Senior Sagasta was retlcert.

1.-THE ZOLA TRIAL.
The First Wi,nessto Give Favor
able Testimony in the Case.
COLONEL plCQuART's STORY


PARIS, Feb. 1l.-There were the
usual crowds abou, the assizes court OF
the Seine to-day when the NTH day OF
the trial OF NJ. zola and Perrcux COM
menced, N. zola and Col. Picauort
were greeted with hostile cries on their
arrival. The court was thronged. III
Colonel Picauart was then called and
narrated how he had acquired frus-
ntents OF a telegraphlc card in 1896. and
concluded therefrom that Major Ester
hazy was corresponding with suspicious
characters. He procured some OF Major
Esterhazy's handwriting which. COM
pared with certain documents. led 10 the
conclusion that Major Esterhazy was
improperly using official papers,
Col. Pcquart was the best witness for
Zola thus far heard. His evidence was
very damaging to his superior officers
and favorable to Dreyfus. and It also
showed him TO have been the victim OF
persecution since he began his endeavor
10 probe the truth.
At the conclusion of his evidence Col.
Plcquart met with an enthusiastic re-
ception from the public
The higher military officers were visi-
bly, annoyed Mt the effect of Col Pic
quarts testimony.
The mob outside the court gave a con-
flicting reception to Col. Picquart. There
was tremendous tumult and few
'boos" for N. Zola, but there was no
serious incident.
Col Picquart's evidence Ia of the high
est importance and thus far Is the great
event OF the trial. He gave It with pas
slonless, pltiless completeness, covering
the whole ground from the moment he
was authorized 70 investigate the rising
suspicion against Comte Esterhazy until
he found himself n prisoner at Mont
Valerien. The Impression 1t left was
that everything had been done by Gem
eral Pellieux and Major Ravary to shell
ter Comte Esterhazy from the conse-
quences of glaring breaches of disci-
pline and honor. while Col. Picquart was
disowned. packed OF TO Tunis and even;
tually arrested.
NJ. Zola's carriage on leaving the
Palais de IA, Justice was followed by a
knot Of people shouting Death to Zola,"
who could be heard through the carriage
windows exclaiming. THE coTards!"
The police dispersed thousand per-
SIMS who were burning Zola Journals on
the DUAL de Ia Meg!sserie.., Many arrests.
were made, but the persons arrested
were quickly liberated.

CIVIL SERVICE,
annual Report OF the Con,inissiOn Sub-

mitted TO The President.
WASHINGTON, D. =. Feb. 1.-THE
annual report OF the c,Y,l service corr
mission for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1887. has been presented to tie
President. II begins with Statement.
TO show that after az experience OF
nearly fifteen years the hopes OF the ad-
vocates OF the civil service law have
been largely realized. In practice. the
law has proved to be 4 constantly eN-
ertcd and effective force IN the dl.cc--
tion OF economy.
Considering the few changes In the
service under the merit system and tie
wholesale removals uudcr the patron
age system, the economF and efficiency
OF the one stand In striking contrast 10
the eXtravagance and inefIiciencF OF
the other.
Since 1883 (the year OF the oTcanizl-
tion Of the commission). the unclasslfied
positions which have been subject to
political control have increased in num-
bec tnirty-seven per cent. and in cost
forty-three per cent. while the classified
positions subject to examinations have
remained at 4 standstill. The large ex-
tension OF civil service rules In May,
1896. to include positions hitherto un-
classified, the report says brought 10
light number OF unnecessary POSI-
lions. Quite a number OF these have
been abolished as measure Of econ
omy.
The whole number OF positions ex-
am.ned during the year was t9.li5. OF
whom 2S5g3 passed. The number OF ap-
pointmeIts were 4,136. The commission,
the report says. has been steadily max
ing its examinations more practical
Numerous complaints have been made
OF violation OF the rules OF the civil
service in the treasury department. the
department OF justice and the interior
department. In each case eXamina-
tions have been made By representa-
tives of the commission and such cases
as appeared to be violations OF the law
referred to In the department to which
1t belonged. In each case the commits
sion has not yet received reply
The report speaks highly OF the pro-
, motion system based on the efficiency
/ record. This has beer especially en-
do-sed by the navy department In the
work In the yards. On the other hand

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 1i.--Pur-
suant TO Instructions from the acting
secretary Of war, special supplemcn-
tary report has been prepared by Mr..
u, Hazard Wells, who acted rs agent
for the war department In bringing out
Captain Rays dispatches. MIR. Wells
has been In tho Yukon country three
times, has traversed interior Alaska In
many directions and has n practical
knowledge Of the country that Ia pos
sessed by few persons. He says among
other things:
There are undoubtedly large deposits
OF gold In Alaska. rlvalling those OF
the British northwest territory. / no.
ticcd excellent mineral Indications upon
the Tnnana river and In other localities
In 1890. ! discovered true tissure vein
OF quartz eight feet In diameter, with
well defined casing rocks, upon the up
per Tanana. This quartz evidently con-
tained metal. Specimens which se-
cured 10 take out TO San Francisco for
assay were subsequently, lost In a river
catastrophe. Numerous creeks entering
the Upper Tanana revealed colors OF
gold In the sands.
IAN OF the gold bearing streams OF
Alaska so for discovered, viz: Birch
creek, Miller creek, Forty Mile creek,
Sixty Mile creek and Seventy Mile
creek, head in the vicinity Of the Ia
mana river and flow away to the north
east. On tho southwestern side and
heading near the Tnnana are the noted
Copper and Sushitna rivers. the latter
being the gold bearing stream which re-
Gently came into prominence through
the placer discoveries on Cooks Inlet.
The Copper river Is popularly supposed
to be located in the heart OF q mineral
belt. II Is a reasonable deduction that
II all OF the streams flowing away from
the Tanana to the northeast and south
west bear gold, that the Tanana itself
must cut through u gold bearing coun-
try. This opinion is shared by nearly
all Of the old time miners now located
in Dawson. Recently excellent pros
poets were discovered upon an Amcri-
can creek. a tributary OF the Yukon, in
Alaska just below Forty Mile creek.
Miller creek, Birch creek and other
streams within the boundaries OF Ala
ka, In the Yukon valley, still offer in
ducements TO placer miners. l do not
believe that any better mining region
