Itradstrect'A

With b view to ascertaining how some Of the Wore important packers ami exporters of beef in this country regard the action of the German government. Bradstreet's has requested an expression of opinion for publication, to which among Others, Messrs. Armour & Co., of Chicago, reply that in their opinion 'the German restriction will have little effect on the American dressed beef Industry and on our exportations of live cattle.” It is added that "Germany has taken very little. If any. dressed be?ef, and less than 2 per cent, of our live cattle exports this year.” The opinion is also ventured that “this trade would probadly never grow large.” i On the other hand, Messrs. Swift & Co., of the same city, wire that "Germany's prohibition of American (neats and live stock is a serious blow to the American meat industry,” and “unless the embargo is removed it will undoubtedly result In lower prices for cattle.” Messrs. Nelson Morris & Co., of the same city, telegraph that they have lately worked up quite a trade with Germany on cattle, and are “very sorry to learn of a prohibition placed on American cattle Into Germany, as it would cause that much less demand from the United States, In the course of time we would probably have worked up quite a trade with Germany.” The Eastman Company, of New’ York, writes that the business In live stock between Germany and this country has been very limited when compared with our exports to Great Britain. “and according to our information only two shipments of dressed beef have

been made.”

Improvement Will Be Slow. It shpuld be remembered that but a •light return of prosperity would turn the course of the financial current in another direction. The Treasury would daily grow stronger, which would assure many financiers, who look in that direction with some alarm. People are getting tired of this lethargy in our financial and mercantile life, and when the whole country feels that way a change Is not far distant. It will take considerable time to put things bade where they were before the panic occurred, but in the meantime ail classes will adjust their affairs to the new basis. As the country grows Older the appearance of speculative booms will be less frequent. By spee.Ulative booms we menu those periods of uild excitement attendant upon the confstruction of thousands of miles of railroads and the development of mines. TJur Structure is pretty nearly built, a's in Europe> and the energies and genius of the people will have to find vent In mildey forms of speculation and in the manufacture of the necessities and luxuries of • rapidly growing’ nation. In the long run this will be a much healthier statb of afliirs than the wild periods of speculaion. It may not be so easy to make a ’Jirtune over night, but the whole basis i ilr speculation will be much greater.

Cotton Goods’ Demand.

Boston Textile World.

In cotton goods, trade has fallen off ■t soitae lines, which is regarded by Ktuiy as a natural reaction from the deaitled Increase in activity noted previously. The print cloths market has been unsettled, the prices of cloths having eased off slightly, The fear la, of course, now that the strike has been ended in New Bedford, and the men have returned to their work, that the increase in production may result ih another knocking off of prices, t The demand for ginghams has ruled rather slack, especially for fancy makes. On plain and bleached cottons trade has ruled steady. The cotton mills as a whole, not including the mills •t Fall River, and other points under a •trike, have been better employed than for a long time. Some agents have bet-n pressed for deliveries of goods for Con v- rting purposes. The demand for tton goods for export has ruled

CIVIL SERVICE APPOINTMENTS. Postmaster Salim Churged With Having Violated the Law. Alonzo B. Clapp, of 232 South Pennsylvania street, who passed the civil service examination for appoinrnem as a let-Ur-oarrier, said this morning: “During this political excitement Postmaster Sahm is wholly Ignoring the classified civil service laws by appointing from the letter-carriers' list t>f eligibies the Democrats and passing the Kepub-

“The highest in rank on that eligible list, containing over fifty names, is Bob:. !,. Cochrane, a Republican, living at 415 North Illinois street. This is an enviable tank, considering that nearly one hundred have competed in a strict examination for highest grades, but nevertheless, .Mr. Sahm passes by Cochran to Garver. a Democrat, and selects him first of the nine appointments to be made.

AfrnlU of Popnliitta. j Boston Bulletin. • The demagogues are listened to. Just as they were some few years, ago, when antl-rallroad legislation was at Us bight. And equally dangerous results may be expected. It is this feeling of fear for the ©urreacy which Is making the bankers , .«xtretnely cautious and distrustful; It is What ,1s causing Europe to look askance at our securities. Already In the back offices in Wall street, they have begun to figure upon the probable strength of the Populists In the next Congress* and to oast up conclusions. It Is for those reasons that the election next Tuesday is. of ■uch vital importance to Wall street, and may explain the course of prices on the Stock Exchange. Wall street Is fairly well satisfied of the results In the Eastern and Middle Atlantic f States at the polls, but of the West and South nothing is certain and upon the elections in those Sections depends so much. Increased Rust ness In November. . Boston Commercial Bulletin. There is very little that Is new that pan be said of the markets. The best judges believe that prices will be higher on the results of the election, but with conditions a?, they exist to-day, a prolonged advance in prices is. out of the question. To be sure, manufacturers are looking for a considerable increase In business in November, but recovery, even If It'’fioea set in before next spring, is bound to be slow. Many business men express surprise that there have not been more failures during 1SS4, but the panic of the previous year weeded out pretty thoroughly those who had allowed their credit to become unduly expanded; and since the panic, every class of merchant has gone forward slowly and cautiously, so that the small number of failures is not so surprising.

He I gave no reason, justifying him for not I having appointed me. “The following is the law on the sub- | jeet: .‘General rule III—Any appointing or nominating officer who shal^ make inquiries concerning, or in any other way attempt to ascertain, the political or religious opinions or affiliations of any eligible, or who shall discriminate in favor of or against any eligible because of the eligible’s political or religious opinions or affiliations, shall be dismissed from office.’ "Mr. Cochran and myself have, in fair and honorable competitive examination, earned our right to first and second appointments of these nine mallcarriers, and Mr. Sahm has not onlytreated us unfairly in not appointing us. hut he lias undoubtedly subjected himself to liability of dismissal from office by ignoring our classified civil service

laws.''

Mr. Sahm, when told of Clapp's charges, said: “it is ridiculous to taile about Mr. Ciapp not being appoinaled for political reasons. I did not know his politics nor the politics of the men 1 appointed. It is like this: When it became necessary for me to appoint a substitute carrier I applied to the Hoard of Examiners for three names from the eligible list. The names they sent me were Robert E. Cochran, John H. Garver and Alonzo B. Clapp. I called the men before me and talked to them. Ccchran was found to be so defective in sight that he could not fill the position. I rejected him for that reason. I rejected Ciapp because he was appointed once under my predecessor and after his appointment refused to take up the work. This necessitated the trouble and bother of a new appointment. I did not want to have the same trouble, so I appointed Garver. Mr. Clapp may be accurate when he gives the politics of tinother two clerks mentioned, but if he is I don’t know it, as I don't inquire as to the politics of applicants” PERSONAL AND SOCIAL.

I Washington, D. C., November 6.—The Agricultural Department is about to issue elaborate information on the subject of good roads, which Congress has directed the department to investigate. The publication will embrace the entire proceedings of the National Road Conference, held at Asbury Park, N. J., July ,'i and 6, at which conference every shade of opinion on improving roads was presented. Mr. Roy Stone, the special agent ! and road engineer of the department, ‘ will also is^jiide a number of addresses i ! on the roaiL^fluestion. Mr. Stone says, ! | among otLfr things; | “The main question is, how can a peo- ! i pie having no surplus capital undertake j I it successfully and study the methoas j adopted? First, we must study ail the economies possible In construction; second, we must find out all the parties to be benefited and see that each bears his ' .share of the cost, whether or not he belongs to the immediate locality, or even ' lo the present generation of men; third, I we must look into local questions of road [ materials and transportation and into all j , the latest improvements in road imple- j ■ n ciits and machinery. i ' But who is to do all this? And that j i brings us to the lirst practical step in I general road improvement, namely that ! I every .'State should have a permanent j j commission, composed of citizens of the | ! highest character, to undertake this in- ; vestigation, and recommend the neees- | sat y measures to the Legislature; to watch the workings of these measures

The next step

possible use of con-

the Viceroy, demanding a settlement of the Chung King affair within seven days. The British demands are that Taotal Sheng be dismissed and degraded; Chung King is to be saluted with twenty-one guns from Takua forts, and a money indemnity is to be paid to the owners of the Chung King. If these demands are not complied with in the specified time, reprisals upon the part of the British fleet are threatened. The Chung King affair is one of the remarkable incidents of the war betweefc China and Japan, and may have serious results. On August 4 last, a Tien Tsin dispatch announced that thirteen Japanese soldiers, w'ho had been forcibly moved by the Chinese from the British steamship Chung King, were returned immediately upon the Viceroy, Li Hung Chang, being notified, and it was added that the Viceroy apologized to the British Consul. On August 7, how'ever, a dispatch fr>m Shanghai announced the arrival there of the steamship Chung King, and the captain of that vessel gave his version of the affair, which gave it a more serious aspect. The captain said that while his ship was at Tung Ku, on the gulf of Pechill, Chinese soldiers went on board of her for the purpose of seizing the Japanese passengers. They found on board that steamship sixty Japanese, mostly women and children, and at once began to hunt them down. The Chinese pursued the Japanese all over the vessel, bound them hand and foot as soon as caught and flung them over on the wharf. Li Hung Chang eventually, upon the protests of the British Consul, commanded the Japanese to be returned on board the Chung King and ordered the Chinese soldiers who had made the raid to be severely punished.

t iot labor road-building. My own impression is that State prison convicts will be best employed in the preparation of road materials in quarry camps or gravel 'pits, where they can he guarded and secluded as easily as in prisons, and that county prisoners and trumps should do the grading and all other preparatorywork on tlie roads. In regions where rock Is plenty, by using the oest machinery for crushing stone, and employing the convicts only in quarrying and handling it, an amount of material could be produced sufficient to macadamize all the roads in the State as last as they could be prepared, and in addition, to furnish ballast for the railroads as a consideration for their giving reduced rates on road materials. ••of their own motion, the railroads are ready to contribute largely in this way toward road improvement. In their correspondence with the Department of Agriculture on the subject, many have proposed to make half rates or haul at bare cost whenever a general advance toward road improvement shall begin, and the State commission would be in position to make bettor terms with them than any private individual or local authority, and better than we could on-behalf of the general Government without power to offer any definite assistance on its part in return." THE CHIRPEWA COMMISSION. It Will Probably He Abolished—The Reason For Tilts Actiou. Washington, D. C., November 6.—When President Cleveland appointed Wm. M. Campbell marshal of Minnesota in place of J. Adam Bede, who resigned under such peculiar circumstances, it created a vacancy in the Chippewa Indian commission. Campbell was chairman of this commission, which has been operating among the Indians for many years trying to settle their affairs. Secertary Smith says he 'yill not recommend filling the vacancy? because the work of the commission has not succeeded in accomplishing the results for which it was appointed. Campbell was in Washington at the time of his appointment as marshal receiving instructions in his duties as chairman of the Indian commission, and had been informed by SecretarySmith that in case results did not speedily follow his return to Minnesota, that the commission would probably be abandoned. . The failure has been in not getting the Indians to take their allotments at or near one reservation. At present tnev are scattered over different sections of the State, and do not care to secure allotted lands in places where they have not been living for a quarter of a century. THE CIVIL SERYICE. It Is Proposed to Extend It to the Chiefs of Divisions. Washington, D. C.. November 6.-The intimation given by the Civil Service Commission in announcing the receijt extension will include chiefs of divisions President, that further extensions were to be made at an early date, has been discussed In the departments and among officials who know, and it said the next extension will include chiefs of divisions in the various departments, which would be a very Important move. The salaries paid to these officers are $2,000 each. They have always been held as political 'plums for the smaller politicians who seek office in Washington, and it Is claimed that oftentimes they are appointed without any fitness whatever for the positions they hold. In many cases the assistant chiefs do all the business of a division during an entire administration. Sometimes it has been suggested that these assistants be promoted, but they generally decline, because they fear a new administration might dispense with them, and they would be out of a position. If the civil service system should be extended to chiefs of divisions, it will certainly be of great importance to the service and accomplish what the commission has long contended for.

Denver Times-Sun. The following is an extract sent to the Republican congressional committee at Washington and signed by the executive committee of the Denver Business Men’s League, consisting of 5.000 business men —partly Republicans, partly Democrats, and partly recent Populists: “Populist rule In Colorado has been like t a devastating forest tire. By destroying *our credit, which is the life of commerce, it has consumed for the time being, not less than $300,000,000 of values in this State. Colorado's credit tvas so high that the borrowing power of her property ranked in the late census next that of New Y r ork. This borrowing power, this mainspring of our splendid progress, has been temporarily paralyzed by the accidental acsendancy of a party which stands for repudiation and flatism, and Is not a true friend to hard silver money. The property of Denver was assessed for $100,000,000, and was worth three times that sum when the Populists came Into power. Notwithstanding the city's Inevitably brilliant future the average selling price of this property, pending the overthrow of Waiteism. has shrunk twothirds. Silver has declined only 25 per cent., or less than the average products of the other States, while the increased value and output of gold, together with our bountiful crops, have more than made up the shortage. Therefore, not over one-half of our shrinkage of values can be charged to the panic and the universal depreciation resulting from the gold standard. The other one-half of loss is due directly and wholly to the destruction of confidence by Populist mis-

rule.

“So withering has this been that at the present moment even a gold mine can not borrow $1 on $5 worth of gold ore actually in sight with which to extract that ore and send it to the smelter. Leaders are anxious to reap the rich harvest offered, but hold aloof until the election in November decides w-hether we are to have anarchy or civilized government. Two hundred thousand farmers from the drought-stricken States to the east of us are anxious to come here and farm by irrigation, but under Populist rule w-e can borrow no more money with which to build irrigating canals. Manufacturing is most profitable here, but capital shuns Populism as a pestilence. The people of Colorado are loyal to their contracts, and they are lighting up the camp-fires on every hill for a campaign, regardless of partv, which is to overthrow Populism and re-establish the credit of the State.” SHE WANTED INFORMATION.

London. November 6.—The Daily News says that the Chinese monster has imparted to the Foreign Office China's desire that the powers mediate with Japan for peace. The minister has gone to Paris to make a similar request of France. In a leader, commenting on the foregoing, the Daily News says that “the Chinese have approached the powers with the terms ol peace she wdll offer Japan. This is a formal renew'al on a larger scale of the overtures made to the Queen’s ministers a month ago. Lord Rosebery’s course could not have been more completely and conclusively vindicated. No European power can well desire to prolong this disastrous conflict. Even the United States, despite the Monroe doctrine, must be concerned for the regularity and security of their great trade with Japan. It w ill be difficult to contend that interference is premature now.” A dispatch received at Rome from Pekin states that China is disposed -to conclude a peace with Japan on the basis of a guarantee of the independence of Korea and the payment of indemnity, the amount to be fixed by the powers. The dispatch adds that it is reported that China has invited the representatives of the powers to intervene to secure peace. The Chung Ktnv Affair. Shanghai.

Young Woman Wished to Ascertain Something About Candidates. Chicago Times. It was at the place of registration in one of the Twenty-fourth ward precincts. A young woman came in. The clerks took off their hats and straightened up In their chairs. The formality of registration was soon over. “Now', where can I find out something about the character and qualifications of the candidates I can vote for?" she asked. The judges and clerks looked at each other blankly. >io voter had ever made such an Inquiry before. '“We’re not permitted to give information of that kind,” finally answered one of the judges, an elderly man, recovering from his astonishment. "It might be said we were trying to influence voters,” he added by way of explanation. “I don’t see why; all I want to know is where I can get the Information that will enable me to vote intelligently. There isn’t any law against that, is there?" By this time astonishment at the inquiry had given place to the confusion and embarrassment of conscious ignorance of how to answer an inquiry apparently so simple. But where can a voter get such Information? At last one of the clerks suggested, half jestingly, that she might get the Information by reading the newspapers. Another one thought the best way would be to go to the headquarters of the party central committees. They all agreed that they didn't know definitely Just where one could find out such things; there seemed to be no general demand for that kind of information. The young woman went home to wonder if she did have to read the newspapers or go to poiltical headquarters to find out who to vote for. t She wasn't left to wonder long. Within an hour three carriages had driven to her door and three committee-women had called to electioneer respectively for Lucy L. Flower, Dr. Julia Holmes Smith and Rena Michaels Atchison, the Republican, Democratic and Prohibition candidates for trustee of the state university. Yet some people won't believe that w’omen are interested in politics. Spenking uf StntlMtlca. New York Herald. Several customers were chatting in a Fafayette-avenue grocery store one evening recently, when the grocer pointed to a half-barrel of small beans and asked how many of them it would require to make a bushel. Various estimates were offered. One man recklessly put the number down at 60,000, which occasioned a laugh from all the others, who had guessed a much less quantity, ranging all the way from 5,000 to 20,000. “Well, gentlemen," remarked the grocer, "you are all wrong. There are. approximately, 119,000 beans in a bushel." No one was Inclined to believe him until he showed them that it took sixty beans, selected at random, to weigh half an ounce. The rest of the calculation was simple. "Now. then,” said one of the party, since we are engaged in guessing contests, how many dollar bills would it take to weigh as much as a silver dollar?" One said one hundred, another said seventy-five, while the grocer, who knew all about beans, put the figures at three hundred. “All wrong,” remarked the man. “It takes Just twenty-two.” This was proved to be the case by experiment.

It will be seen from this list that the anniversaries of the memorable battles of Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge and Franklin. Tenn., will occur during the month. The two former were fought by the Fourth and Fourteenth Corps of the Army of the Cumberland, under Maj.General Geo. H. Thomas; the Eeleventh, Geary’s Division of the Twelfth, and the Fifteenth Corps of the Army of the Tennessee, under Maj.-Gen. W. T. Sherman. The number of Union men killed was 757, wounded 4,529, missing 330. The Confederate loss was , killed 361, W’ounded 2,181,

and missing 6,142.

The battles of Spring Hill and Franklin were fought by the Fourth and Twentythird Corps and Cavalry. The Union loss was: Killed 183, wounded 1,033, and missing 1,104. The Confederate loss was, killed 150, wounded 3,800, and missing 702. The veterans of Jasper and adjoining counties are discussing a proposition to purchase the old homestead of Gen. R. H. Mllroy, at Rensselaer, which stands on the west bank of the river that runs through the town. It is proposed to convert it into a park to be named after Mllroy, and to erect a large statue to his memory. General Milroy was one of the three major-generals from Indiana, appointed by President Lincoln, during the

civil war.

Commander-In-Chief I^twlor, has appointed C. C. Jones his adjutant general and J. W. Burst quartermaster, with headquarters at Rockford, 111. The latter office has been held in Philadelphia so long that the Quakers had become to regard the posttion as a permanent institution, and Us removel caused some surprise. It furnishes all the supplies as well as badges for the order throughout the country. From the sale of these a small revenue Is derived for the support of headquarters. Comrade I. N. Walker has been continued at the head of the pension committee by Commander-in-Chlef Lawlor. Comrade Walker has been at the head of this committee for a number of years. The directors of the Gettysburg Memorial Association met at Gettysburg last week, re-elected the old officers and inspected the improvements on the field. General Sickles presented his plan for the purchase of the ground which includes a soldiers’ home and military post. The reports showed the affairs of the association to be in good condition and that several new avenues had been opened up during the year. It Is the purpose of the association to turn over all its lands to the Government as soon as the latter is ready to accept them. Mr. Castleman, of Louisville, Ky., formerly a Confederate General, denies that a Confederate monument is to be unveiled during the National Encampment at Louisville next September. He says the monument has not been begun. Gen. Horace Porter, president of the Grant Monument Association, says the work has been delayed by the necessity for opening new granite quarries In order to procure a sufficient amount of good granite, as well as by a strike among the granite-cutters, which lasted six

months. The work is now going forward satisfactorily. The contract calls for ths completion of the monument in December. There is every reason to believe that It will be completed by that time. In the meantime, the money on deposit is drawing S per cent. Interest. This addition to the fund will enable the directors to make the monument more ornamental than at first contemplated. The policy of detailing army officers to act as Indian agents has proved a failure. Such officers as have been serving In that capacity are being relieved aa fast as the Indian Bureau is able to furnish civilians to take thetr places. The officers object to being separated from their commands for so long a period, and declare that the duties are foreign to the military service. Brtg.-Gen. Alexander McDowell McCook will be retired next spring on account of age. With the exception of General Schofield and General Howard, the latter (the last of the “fighting McCooks”) Is the only officer In the regular army who commanded an army corps during the civil war. U. S. Grant Post, of Brooklyn, N. Y., has made arrangements to celebrate the retirement of Gen. O. O. Howard from the army during the month. General Howard has been a member of that post since the transfer from the Pacific. A bronze soldiers' monument was dedicated at Ft.

each square are cut respectively a G. A. R. badge, an eagle on the national shield, an eagle on the State seal, and an eagle on the city seal. The monument stands eleven feet high, and Is mounted on a stone pedestal nine feet high. The friends of the large caliber Springfield rifle predicted the failure of the small caliber rifle, and did not believe tty; new weapon tvould kill a man on account of the small size of the wound made. The report of the committee of experts says: “Up to six hundred yards a bullet striking the neck or abdomen means death. From six hundred to 1,600 yards most serious, and. In many eases, fatal results are certain to be inflicted. Beyond 1,600 yards the Injuries inflicted resemble those caused by the round bullets which were In use before 1860." The new rifle shoots point blank for a distance of 735 yards, or almost twofifths of a mile, and this Is a great advantage, as up to that distance no allowance is made for the falling of the bullet. Taken all in all, the new' rifle Is a terribly destructive weapon. It weighs only eight pounds. With the use of smokeless powder, it is said, that a man could be killed before he heard or knew of the report. The bullet is to be of nickel or steed. At a recent reunion of the Thirty-fifth Ohio Regiment it w'as decided to have a medallion of the face of Gen. Ferdinand Van Devere, Its old commander, cast and placed upon the monument recently erected upon the Chlckamauga battle-field. The annual election of officers of the various posts will be held during the month of December. The delegates to the State Encampment are elected at the same time. The Indiana commissioners appointed to visit the battlefields of Chlckamauga, Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge, etc, will recommend to the Legislature, at its approaching session, that an appropriation be made to place monuments in such positions, as may be determined, to mark the heroism of Indiana's fortyfour regiments and twelve batteries which distinguished themselves on those memorable fields. The amounts appropriated by other States have varied from $1,500 to $3,000 a monument. The Wm. A. Boyd Post at Dublin, Ind., Is collecting the history of every man who enlisted in the army from that place or vicinity, as well as his record as a soldier. Friends of Gen. Thos. H.
