Mail Service in Ala.ka.

Post Office Inspector John P. Clum, just
returned from a trip Of inspection through
Alaska, has reported to the department
that the service generally is In excellent
condition. more particularly in the Yukon
valley. where the various towns have a
small service of once a week in each dircc-
ton. He established the northernmost
post office In the United States. and what
probably is the northernmost post Office in
the world. This is at Point Barrow, where
Rev. DR.. H. Richmond Marsh, the mission
airy at the little settlement, was appointed
postmaster. This place, where the north
ernmost newspaper in the world is pub
lished once year, will receive the mails
once year by United States revenue
cutter. Heretofore the few natives In the
vicinity have had to send for their mail
about 700 miles, and often much further,

THE LANTANA BLIGHT.
A Menace to All Kinds of Vegetation
in Hawaii.

Menace to All Kinds of Vegetation
in Hawaii.
From the Honolulu Star.
Prof. Albert Koebele, government ento-
mologist, has just returned from trip to
Maui to inspect the power for good or evil
Of the lantana blight lately discovered on
that island and being applied there by DR..
Raymond. Prof. Koebele considers the
blight to be anything but an unmixed
blessing. While 1t destroys the lantana
readily enough, 1t also is ready to destroy
anything else in the shape OF vegetation
that 1t can get Its scale bugs to work on,
being a threatening danger to the forest
trees.
The blight Is one of six species that have
lodged practically all over the world this
particular branch Of the family being in
digenous to India and Ceylon. It seems to
be in particularly happy circumstances on
the Island of Maui, having apparently no
foes to dispute Its supremacy. Prof Koe-
belle found the lady bug grazing content
eddy on the mealle bugs side by side with
the scale bugs of the blight and making
no predatory attempts on what should be
its natural enemies. The lantana blight
according to the entomologist was first
discovered in a Japanese store on Maui
some little while ago, and In his opinion
should be carefully prevented from spread
ing to other islands of the ground

ORIGINAL CENSUS SCHEDULES.
Transferred TO the Union BuiIdfus
for Storage.

The last Of the ORIGINAL schedules Of the
eleventh United States census, containing
the name, address. occupation and other
data concerning every person living in the
country in June, 1890, and aggregating
more than 100000 sheets Of paper have
been transferred from the Marini building
on E street, where they have been stored
for decade, to the Union building on G.
street. There were all together 1859 two
morse wagon loads and a large force OF
men were employed more than three weeks

statlstics. The papers, which are I'M
bound are wrapped together by enumera-

government indefinitely. With the excep-
ton of the census of 1890 the schedules for

Washington have the American people had
a less partisan President than Mckinley.
north. south, east and west, Catholic and
Protestant. His name has become synony-
nous with national honor, national pros
perity, national dignity and national duty.
Greatest Statesman of His Time.
Music was rendered by the Marine Band,
and then Justice Anderson was presented.
He declared that by common consent Pres
ident Mckinley was the greatest statesman
of his time and the most perfect type of
American manhood in the annals of his
tory. Born in poverty and to toll. he pursued
the even tenor of his way until he came to
stand pre-eminent in the ranks of rulers
and of men. So great was he that the
whole world felt the inspiration of his ge-
MUS and the uplift of his power; so good
was he that he drew all hearts unto him
self and held them to the last in the
during bonds of love. Judge Anderson de-
clared that the deep damnation of his TAX
ing off was the saddest and bitterest expe-
rience in the history of the American peo-
pie
Martyred Presidents.
Mr. F. E. Mcclure effectively sang
Beyond the Gates of Paradise and
then Mr.. Alphonso Hart spoke. He
declared that Mr.. McKinleys work
in life was mighty. but that Nc
Kinley living was not greater than Nc
Kinley dead. Mr.. Hart referred to the
fact that Mckinley and Garfield. two of
the nations martyrs, had both been born
in Ohio, within forty miles of each other.
The name and fame of Mckinley he de-
clared, is circled around the world, and
wherever it is heard it is accompanied by
not only the blessings of his countrymen,
but the whole civilized race 1t was Mr..
Hart, who, in recounting the history of the
nation under Mr.. McKinleys administra-
ton, spoke the name of Schley in connec
ton with the naval battle of Santiago, and
which called forth demonstration.
DenuncintiOn of Anarchy.
Mr.. D. K. Watson, formerly attorney
general of Ohio, spoke next. and aroused
the audience to applause by strong de-
nunciation Of anarchy. He said: Let our
laws punish an anarchist because he is an
anarchist, as they would punish a pirate
because he is pirate. Let the red flag be
driven from the nations of the world the
black flag has been driven from the seas"
The last speaker was Mr.. Simon Wolf,
who told of his personal acquaintance with
the dead President Mr. Wolf declared that
to him the President was not dead. but
lives and will forever live, the highest OK
worldwide Americanism He said Mr.. Nc
Kinley loved the Jews he loved Catho-
lies and Professionals. and to each and every
one was a dear brother.
Nearer, My God, to Thee" was impress
sively sung by the octet, after which reso-
buttons thanking the Marine Band and
Manager Chase were adopted, and the
audience dispersed while America" was
being sung.

THE MCPHERSON WILL.
Hearing on Application for Reyoca-
ton of Letters of Collection

Hearing on Application for Reyoca
ton of Letters of Collection.
The application for revocation of letters
of collection issued to the American Secu
rity and Trust Company in the Mcpherson
will case came on for hearing before .Jus
tice Barnard, holding the Probate Court
Saturday. The application to revoke these
letters was made in behalf of Mr. Aaron
5. Baldwin, who was named as executor by
the will Of Mrs. Mcpherson. This will cuts
off Mrs. Edla ]. Muir, the sole surviving
child of Senator and Mrs. Mcpherson, with
but life interest In this estate, which
is valued at over $4,000. and the probat-
ing of the will and issuing of letters tes-
tamentary to Mr.. Baldwin is being contest
ed both in New Jersey and in the District
of Columbia. Pending the disposition of
such contest letters of collection were is
sued by the Probate Court of this District
to the American Security and Trust Com
pany authorizing it to collect and hold all
the personal property of Mrs Mcpherson
In this District, as above stated
The application to revoke the letters of
collection was resisted by Mrs. Muir. who
alleged that the will naming Mr. Baldwin
as executor was not the true last will and
testament of her mother, Mrs Mcpherson.
such will having been made by Mrs Nc
Pherson but three days before her death
and while upon her deathbed, so weakened
ny uisease Us not 10 KNOW nor understand
the full import of the paper which was
submitted to her for signature and that
Mrs. McPhersons signature thereto was
procured by the undue and improper infu-
ence of the said Baldwin and other persons
acting in his interests and behalf
At the hearing Mr.. Baldwin was present
and was represented by Messrs. Hamilton
& Colbert as solicitors. Mrs. Muir was
represented by Mr.. John Spalding Elan
merry, Mr.. Arthur Johns and Mr. Frederic
D. McKenney.
At the conclusion Of the argument the
court took the papers under advisement
and stated that he would decide the mat
ter later.
