Agitation for Lessening of Expenses
at Washington Leads to Big
Reduction.

Washington, April 7.-One hundred
printers have been discharged by Pub
lie Printer Stillings, the reason assign
ed being lack of work. 1t is expected

With the view of bringing about a
further saving, Public Printer Stillings
