He also recommends the abolition Of the salary

classification schedule established by 1t is to IN
crease salaries unnecessarily comparison OF the
payrolls of New-York State institutions with
those of other States shows that salaries In this

Radical who is largely interested in shipping,

BelIeville boilers were untrustworthy.

Caracas Feb 2O-A revolutionary army, esu-
mated at $500 men, has reached a point ABOUT
twenty miles south of Caracas. The revolution

The force of this third army is estimated at
500 men. 1t has taken up a strong POSITION
and the troops sent against it by the govern
