notne doubt, but it is strongly suspected by gome persons in Washington that inch is the case. It so. Mr. Armstrong was actually at officer of the Union army on the day when he won distinction on the battle-field as a volunteer aide to a rebel genera). At any rate, his is believed to be the only case where an officer who actually fought on the Union side at the beginning of the Re bellion afterward took up arms against his coun" tryTHK HEBBS CASK. Points from the Knliog .Made by Judge Crease, of British Columbia. Washington, Aug. 19.—The full text of the decision of Judge Crease, of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, in the Hibbs extradition case, have been received at the Postoffiee Department. In his preamble, Judiro Crease says: “It is a ease of considerable importance, because the complaint is for an offense which has no exact parallel in tie history of extradition cases, ami the danger that would arise of repetition nhould it not prove to be an extraditable offt-nse. Th*t will be easily understood when it is considered that there are some 15.000 postmasters having the same facilities as the prisoner in the issuance of money orders in the l. nited States, and if one such can with impunity unblushingly confess to having abused his trust by emblezzlincr $*20,000 in three days, and then avoid all punishment by merely skipping across an imaginary boundary lme, it is a mere rule-of-three sum to ascertain the mischief such an example to even a few of that great army of postmasters might do." Judge Crease pays a high compliment to Solicitor general iioode and to the officers who traced Hibbs and brought about his arrest. He concindes as follows: “While I cannot conclude without acknowledging the assistance rendered to the court by Mr. Solicitor general Goode, I trust that it will nut be inappropriate if 1 echo the words of the learned judge in the Windsor case. While I deal with tho law as it is. I may wish that the government of the United States may see its advantage in an addition to the catalogue of extraditable crimes of all those offenses which have been for some time pressed upon its attention from this side of the line, and I do so with the object of saving endless time and expense to Lt/tli countries. If would be especially welcome to those magistrates of both countries whose duty it is, under the Washington treaty, to carry out the law.’’ MINOR MATTERS.

Vet he has no one whatever to blame bur himself in this case.

Professor Collins has been giving lessons in boxing for many years in Washington, and it is to the desire of Secretary Lamar and other high officials to becomo acquainted with tho principles of the manly art of self-defense that the Professor owes his good lock. Like Boston’s favorite. Mr. John Sullivan, Mr. Collins has domestic troubles. Ho has sited for a divorce from his wife Bridget on the ground of intemperance. He charges cruel treatment, attempting to hit him over the head w ith articles of household furniture, frequently throwing pitchers, piatea and tumblers at him, and on one occasion attempting to comb his hair with a brick.

The Special Delivery System. Srec ial to the Indiana pel is Journal. Washington, Aug. 19.—Instructions were to-day mailed from tho Postoffice Department to postmasters at offices where the special delivery under the new ten cent stamp law is to bo established. For some time Congressmen in Indiana, Ohio, and a few other Statos have been urging the Postmaster general to establish special delivery at a number of places where the census of ISBO did not show the requisite 4,000 population, but where censuses taken since have developed that number. This afternoon it wa3 decided that special deliveries shall be establiohed only upon the basis of the federal censuses, and that cities not showing 4,000 population in 1880, must wait until after tho rejiort of the census of 1890, even though it is proven that they have the number of people required by law.

Washington, Aug. 19.—The chiefs of the money order office and the finance division, and the chief special agent of the Postoffico Department, have been instructed to call the attention of the Postmaster general or First Assistant Postmaster-general to all cases of delinquency in money matters on the part of postmasters, which may come to their notice by the reports of special agents or otherwise. A special .jacket of “melon colored" paper is to be prepared for such cases, the color being designed to call attention at once to the inclosure from the masses of papers which reach tho desks of the Postmaster general .and his assistants. Heretofore cases of this kind have been allowed to take the routine course, going, with other correspondence, to the correspondence clerk's office, and, as a result, many postmasters who have failed to keep up their deposits have been able to retain their offices after their delinquencies have been reported upon. The Hunt fur Office. Washington Special. “You may say," said the Commissioner of Patents, “that people who are in search of employment need not come to Washington. The pressure for places is very great, and every appointment that I make seemed to be absolutely forced upon me. Then when I make a change, for instance, turning out one Democrat to put in another, 1 am occupied from one to three dav3 afterwards in explaining why I have made the ehange. The principal demand for places in my office is in the paste room, and there is no place too small to be free from applicants. 1 remember that I recently told the Secretary, in speaking of a recommendation that I lad just submitted to him for a change in some office, that I had been forced inch by inch to consent to make any appointment at all. The Secretary remarked, ‘You should have made your fight on the first inch.'" Inefficient Superintendents of Buildings. W. ton Special in New York Poet. The Secretary of the Treasury has been unfortunate in some of his appointments to the positions of superintendents of public buildings, and in several instances lias discovered that, instead of persons competent to perform the duties of this office, he has chosen only political workers. He is reported to hav> determined that no persons snail be hereafter appointed to the position of superintendent of public buildings except those who are either competent architects or practical builders. The position almost necessarily involves a knowledge of building, and a political striker is not always able to make himself understood at the architect’s office as to the needs of the public buildings in his charge.

TJIE DISCONTENTED WORKMEN. The Knights of Labor and the Wabash Strike —No Serious Results Yet Reported. St. Lours, Aug. 19. —The action of the national executive committee of the Knights of Labor, in issuing a general order to knights employed upon roads west of the Mississippi, prohibiting the handling or repairing of Wabash rolling stock, has been followed by no serious results to day. Members of the Wabash committee, which is in session here, are of the opinion that the full force of tho order will not be felt by the railroads for several days yet. Telegrams have been received by them from different parts of the State, and from branch assemblies of the national organization, indorsing the issuance of the general order, and indicating their intention to stand by it. Meetings of the knights all over the West will he held as soon as the order is received by them, and it is expected that concerted action wfill be taken by the 21st, at the latest T. J. Russell, of the committee, says that the resolutions calling for the impeachment o! United States Judges Brewer, Treat and Krekel will bo carried out, if possibla Congressman Warner and General Palmer will draw up the articles of impeachment, which will be introduced into Congress and pushed with all the influence which the knights can command. Trouble is expected at Kansas City shortly. A number of the yard and trainmen at that point are knights, and, in obedience to yesterday's order, it is thought that they will refuse to handle Wabash cars, in consequence of which all Wabash freight will be side-tracked. 1:30 p. m.—Nothing has yet been received from any point in this State, or beyond, of any trouble growing out of yesterday’s order, and, in all likelihood, nothing willl occur for a day or two, or until the order shall have reached at least the principal points on the roads nam' and in the order. The national executive committee having turned the whole matter over to the district committees, with power to act they will issue no more orders, and smarted this morning for the East, where they have some other matters to look after. The members of the committee representing the knights of the Southwest system left for their homes last night, and will more fully explain yesterday’s order to the various assemblies. The Wabash committee will remain here and transact such business as may be necessary. There has been no delay to passenger trains here, so far, and none seems to be apprehended immediately, although it is understood that the order applies to passenger coaches as well as to freight cars and other rolling stock; nor has there yet been any detention to freight. The movement of trains in the Union Depot yards has in nowise been disturbed as yet. Up to a late hour to-nisht there was actually no strike news, either local or from outside points The order of yesterday, it appears, was not, mailed until to-day. and therefore it will bo a couple of days before any action can be taken by the various assemblies at points on the roads involved. The Wabash executive committe is still here, but' it did nothing to-day of public interest, nor did it receive any advices from outside places. Several assemblies of Knights of Labor held meetings to-night, at which the order of the national executive com naittee was presented and discussed. The order will be posted in conspicuous places in railroad shops and yards to morrow, and all knights will hold themselves in readiness for anything that may turn up. At Chicago no employes of the Wabash railway have quit work as yet iu response to the order of the Knights of Labor. At Denver no action has thus far been taken by the Knights of Labor in the employ of tho Union Pacific upon the St. Louis orders. Wabash freight is being handled as usual.
