ANNAPOLIS NAVAL CADETS.
Arrival Of the MonOnEaheIa at Ply
mouth, England.

Annapolis, Nd, July 3.-The arrival OF
the practice ship Monongahela, with cadets
of the second, third. and fourth classes, at
Plymouth, England, was announced Sat
urday in a cabiegram received by Supt. F..
Y. McNair, of the Naval Academy. The
despatch stated that all were we'll and
was signed by Commander Charles T.
Hutchins, who is in command Of the yes
sci. Lieutenant Commander W. F. Halsey
is executive and Lieut. C. n. Atwater navi-
gator of the Monongahela, which was
twenty-seven days going over. The Navy
Department has been informed and il is
thought the cruise to Madeira or to Lis
bon will be abandoned, so that the ship
may return to Annapolis the latter part of
August. Yesterday morning the Govern
ment steamer Standish returned from Nor
folk, where she towed the auxiliary cruis-
er Gloucester for repairs. 1t viii be several
weeks before the Gloucester will return TO
the Academy. Her bottom is to be over
hauled and otherwise repaired.
The nautical schoolship Enterprise,
Commander F. NJ. Wise, which has been
in the bay several days, sailed up TO the
Naval Academy Saturday and anchored in
the Severn. She has on board 113 appren-
tees. who were given leave yesterday Ia
go ashore and attend church. They are a
fne-looking set of youngsters, and attract
ed attention in their summer uniform OF
white trousers and cap and navy blue jack
cts, looking very much like naval cadets
The Enterprise will remain here a week
and then proceed to Hampton Roads

COLONIAL POSTAL SERVICE.
MIR. Heath Says No More Americans
Are to BE Appointed.

Are to BE Appointed.
Acting Postmaster General Heath stated
today that no more appointments would be
made of Americans to the postal services
in the Philippines, Porto Rico, or Cuba.
I'VE are now making every effort TO re-
duce the expenses of the mail service IN
these countries" said Mr.. Heath, and
with that in view, the Postmaster General
has cabled the recall of all Americans
sent to Porto Rico on detail from the va
rious branches of the postal service in this
country, and it is likely that a number OF
Americans who were sent there some time
since will be Withdrawn"
This is to be done not only in the in
terest of economy, but to carry out the
original design of the department. When
we assumed control of the postal services
in the three countries named, everything
was in chaos. The postal service was dis
credited upon every hand and ii became
necessary TO install new men, Americans
of the highest type of character, in order
to reorganiZe the service and place ii upon
a creditable basis-a basis which would at
once have the confidence of the patrons
Now that the postal services in each of
these countries has been thoroughly reor-
ganized and placed upon an American ba-
sis we feel that we can safely dithdraw
most of the Americans detailed or appoint
ed from civil life and gradually transfer
the work TO natives. Under the circum-
stances, il is useless for anyone TO apply
for positions in the Philippines, Cuba, or
Porto Rico. and all applicants are being
so notified

before sunset our steamer had returned.
There was the same cool, dreamy Journey
back-past the tomb of the country S
founder and father-our ships bell toiling
solemnly-past the vine-clad walls of Fort
Washington, past the rotting pilings driven
to obstruct the dreaded Merrimac nearly
forty years ago, past the islands and the
wooded palisades, the saluting pleasure
boats, thebecalmed yachts. the naphtha
launches, and again past the smooth
cropped lawn and long row Of dropping will
lows which line the bank at the Govern
ment arsenal grounds. The Stars and
Stripes were flying from the Flagstaff, but
as we glided by the sun settled below the
horizon, the bugles sounded their even
ing song, the sunset gun doomed, and the
fiuttering folds slid gracefully to earth. 1t
was a fitting and poetic close to day
of unbroken harmony.
Do not hope to duplicate 1t. Such days
are gifts of which the gods are niggardly.
They are vouchsafed once or twice In a
lifetime to those who are especial objects
OF their affection. They are to be accept
ed humbly and cherished sacredly. 1t was
a revelation in excursions given for the
renewal Of hope In those almost given over
to despair. H. gibson GARDNER.

CHINESE FIRECRACKERs.
The Process of Manufacturing the
Small Boys Joy.
From the Popular Science Monthly.)

(From the Popular Science Monthly.)
There were exported from China during
the year ended June 80, 1897. &c, ,705, ,733
pounds of frecrackers, all from the prov
ince of Kwang Tung The exports, how
ever, represent only a small portion of the
number manufactured, as the use of the
cracker is universal all over China They
are used at weddings, births, funerals, at
festivals religious and civil, and, in fact,
on all occasions out of the ordinary rou-
tine.
The United States Consul General at
Shanghai gives the following account of
the industry: There are no large factories;
the crackers are made in small houses and
shops where they are sold In making them
only the cheapest kind of straw paper is
used for the body of the cracker. A little
finer paper is used for the wrapper A
piece of straw paper 9x30 inches, will make
twenty-one crackes an inch and a halt
long and a quarter inch in diameter. The
powder is also of the cheapest grade, and
is made in the locality where used
For the fuse a paper (calld leather in
ShanghaD is used, which is imported from
Japan, and is made from the inner lining OF
the bamboo. In other places a fine rice pa
per is used, generally stiffened slightly
with buckweat -four paste, which the Chi
nese say adds to its inflammabiIity. A
strip of this paper one-third of an inch
wide by fourteen inches Ia Chinese FOOT
long is laid on table, and very little
powder put down in the middle of it with
hollow bamboo stick. A quick twist OF
the paper makes the fuse ready for use
The straw paper is first rolled by hand
around an iron rod, which varies in size
according to the size of the cracker to be
made. To complete the rolling rude ma
chine is used. This consists of two up
rights supporting an axis from which is
suspended. by two arms. a heavy piece OF
wood, slightly convex on the lower side
There is just room between this swinging
| block and the top of the table 80 place the
cracker. AS each layer of paper is pu,
on by hand, the cracker is placed on the
over the roll thus Tightening it until nc
more can be passed under the weight.
For the smallest whip crackers. the
workman uses for compression, instead Of
| this machine, heavy piece Of wood fitted
with a handle like that Of a carpenters
plane. In filling crackers, two hundred tc
| three hundred are tightly tied together II
a bunch. Red clay Is spread over the end
| of the bunch, and forced into the end oI
each cracker with a punch. While the
| clay is being treated a little water Is
sprayed on It, which makes 1t pack closer
The powder is poured in at the other end
of the cracker. With the aid of an awI
| the edge of the paper is turned In at the
upper end OF the cracker, and the fuse IL
| inserted through this. The long ends Of
| the fuses are braided together In such {
way that the crackers lie In two parable
] rows.

DanviIIe's Tobacco Sales.

Danville, Va, July 3.-Notwithstanding
the smallpox scare, which was well cal
culated to frighten farmers away from
market, the receipts and auction sales of
loose leaf tobacco during the month of
June were larger by 722.5SO pounds than
in June of last year. The sales were 2
es1,451 pounds. The sales from October ]
TO June 80, inclusive, were 40. .s0e SIS
pounds. Sales for the same period of the
last tobacco year were A.. ASS, 479 pounds
This was a decrease of 1.545. .96I pounds
but the ruling prices were higher this yeal
than last, and the farmers have realized
more money in the aggregate than they
did on the larger sales of last year.
