1.ANsToN MACHINES.
Number In Use in g. P. o. and Glass
Of Work Done.

The Star is in receipt of communication
asking how many Lanston typesetting ma
chimes there in government printing
office and what class of work they are
dofngF The initial order was for twenty
eight of these machines of which eighteen
were assigned to the Gazette division, and
ten to the fifth division. The second or
der was for the installation Of seventy
two Lanstons, making 100 of this type Of
mo chine at work on government printing
Thirty-six Of these machines make up the
battery in the fifth division, and they are
doing straight and tabular work according
to the needs of the office, though whenever
possible they are kept busy on the many
large tabular statements contained in gov
ernment publications. The setting of tables
Is a large item of expense to the office. but
by the use of the Lanstons 1t Is understood
that a decided saving has resulted.
Fcrty-eight Lanstons have been assigned
to the specification division, and are now
hal ding work which formerly required
about 200 men and women. 1t Is said that
the machines are particularly adapted for
this class of work. the narrow columns OF
matter frequently requiring that a letter
be spaced in" by hand to prevent running
a long word into the next line. When the
weekly Issue of patents is small the oper-
atcrs are put on the regular run of copy
Of the Office, the casting of separate letters
enabling the printing of every variety OF
tabular or leadered matter. as we'll as that
containing accented letters and other ex-
traneous characters.
Although the exact figures are not avail
able, 1t is understood the Introduction OF
typesetting machines in the government
printing Office has proved to be a success.
Much of the hitherto expensive work has
been brought down to the price charged
by the Office for composition, and 1t is the
expressed hope of topographic experts that
the price per 1000 ems will be reduced when
the big printery shall have accustomed
itself to the changed conditions. Many OF
the employees are still dubious of the sue
cessful operation of the typesetting ma
chimes but it is said those having knowl-
edge of the cost of production are very
well satisfied with the showing for the first
year of the experiment.

THE PACKERS HEARING.
Ruling in Their Favor Despite Gov
eminent Protest.

The direct examination of Special Agent
Durand was finished IN the packers case
at Chicago yesterday and the cross-ex-
animation was begun. Early In the day
the attorneys In the case engaged in a.
sharp argument regarding the propriety of
admitting as evidence In the case the names
OF Zo0 witnesses which, the lawyers for the
packers contended, had been turned over
to the Department of Justice by Commits
sioner Garfield.
District Attorney Morrison fought hard
against ruling of the court directing him
TO furnish the names, and when 1t was
finally made informed the court that he did
not have them. The court then issued an
other order directing that the government
make search for the names and for all
correspondence relating to them
District Attorney Morrison asked permits
SION TO make an offer to prove certain facts
by Special Agent Durand and all of the
attorneys gathered before the judge so that
the jury could not hear what was contained
In the offer. The offer was, in substance
that none of the information turned over to
the Department of Justice was secured
from the packers except that in one chap
ter of Commissioner Garfield's report and
that could have been obtained just as we'll
from the bureau of animal industry.
Judge Humphrey overrued this offer, and
the government took an exception.

BODY RECOVERED.
Believed to Be That Of Lighthouse
Enplove Drowned Last Fall.

The body of white man about thirty
five years of age was found floating In the
Potomac near Liverpool Point wharf Thurs
day last by Mr.. ]. H. Dakman, the keeper
of the wharf, and from the description of
the body it is thought to be that of the
sailor drowned from one of the lighthouse
steamers some time during the early fall
of last year. The body was dressed in
suit of canvas working clothes. such as is
worn by the sailors In the lighthouse serv-
ice and the body in other particulars cor
responds with that of the drowned sailor.
1t is understood the body was buried not
far from where 1t was found. its condition
preventing it from being kept any length of
time
The sailor fell overheard from one of the
buoy tenders while employed In lowering
a boat, and though the lighthouse authori-
ties made extended search and inquiries
along both sides of the river above and
below the point where the man went over
board, no body answering the description
of the man had ever been found until the
one was picked up at Liverpool Point. 1t
is thought the lighthouse authorities viii
take steps to have the body identified, and
If 1t is that of the drowned sailor, will give
1t proper burial.
