WASHINGTON.

W. J. Davis, of Illinois, has been appointed Superintendent of the Indian Industrial School to be established at Grand Junction, Colorado. S. H. Calhoun has been appointed Collector of Internal Revenue for Nebraska. The Treasury Department holds that the reimportation of domestic liquors must be governed by the particular proofs submitted to the local collectorAbout $40,000,000 in small silver certificates will be issued by the Government in the next two weeks. Plans and specifications for the new cruisers and gunboats, including the 870-ton gunboat, are completed and ready for the inspection of intending bidders. John Roach, it is announced, will surely be a bidder for the contracts to build the new cruisers for the United States navy. The contracts will hardly be given out before Congress is again in session. The rumor that Secretary Manning may be appointed Minister to Austria grows in Washington. Two ends are sought, viz, that Mr. Manning may try certain Austrian springs, and that the United States may have an expert in finance in the field in the expected European controversy over bi-metallism.
