It is understood that a reciprocity treaty with Mexico is now about completed by the Secre¬ tary of State and the representatives of Mexico, and the members of the Senate committee on foreign relations have been informed of its terms. It is expected by the party pilots that such treaties will be entered into between the United States aud several of the American republics. The committee ou ways (tnd means is not, however, considering the proposition to put provisions iu Uie tariff bill for reciprocity. Such a proposition was made to some of the republican members of the committee, the idea advanced being to put a provision in the bill that certain imports from Mexico, Central aud Soutu America may be admitted free of duty, in consideration of the removal by those coun¬ tries of the duty on certain exports from this country. The members of the committee replied that this wus a matter to be dealt with by treaty and not iu a tariff bill. If treaties are negotiated and ratified it is believed that there will be uodifficulty in secur¬ ing the necessary legislation with relation to duties, but no provisiou for reciprocity will be put in the law iu advance of a treaty. It is understood that the President, Secretary Blaine aud Speaker Beed have bad a talk over the general subject. Fined for Stealing a Newspaper. A colored boy named Andrew Harris plead guilty in the Police Court to a charge of steal¬ ing a copy of Saturday's Stab from Representa¬ tive McCorniick's door. As the prisoner was a boy the judge imposed a lower penalty than he would had he been older aad made the fine 96 or Ufteen days. FROM THE CAPITOL. SERVICE PENSION BILL A Surprise and a Lively Debate in the House* THE MONTANA CONTEST Taken Up For Consideration in the Senate Today. - THE SUN ATE. The House Amendment to the joint resolu¬ tion for the removal of the uaval magazine from Ellis Island, N.V.. was concurred in. Mr. Evarts presented resolutions of tho New York Chamber of Commerce protesting against the pending bill for a census enumeration of the Chinese as absurd, barbarous, unchristian and cowardly, and a memorial on the same subject from the American Missionary Associa¬ tion was presented by Mr. Dawes. Mr. Piatt presented a memorial for the ad¬ mission of New Mexico as a state, but without committing himself, he said, to the views set forth in it. REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES. Among the bills reported from the commit¬ tees and placed on the calendar were the fol¬ lowing: House bill to amend the homestead laws in regard to the manner of applications und to fees; House bill to regulate the sittings of the U.S. courts within the district of South Carolina; Senate bills for public buildings at Kansas City. Mo. (£200,000;) Orand Haven. Mich. (.4100.000), and Mansfield. Ohio (tlOO.OOtl). House bills for public buildings at Haverhill. Mass. (*75,000), and Lynn, Mass. ($125,000). THE MONTANA. CONTESTED ELECTION, Mr. Hoar moved to proceed with the Mon¬ tana contested election case. Mr. Hale asked him to give the preference to the Chinese enumeration bill, which it wus im¬ portant to have disposed of as soon as possible. Mr. Hoar iutimated that the Chinese census bill could not be disposed of immediately, as Mr. Evarts desired to speak upon it. Mr. Hale asked Mr Evarts whether he de¬ sired to debate it at any length. Mr. Evarts said that he did. Mr. Hale then gave notice that he would move to trfke up the Chinese enumeration bill as soon as the Montana electiou case wus dis¬ posed of. House bill to allow the erection of a bridge across the Iowa river at Wapello. Iowa, was re¬ ported and passed with aa amendment in the way of a substitute. Mr. Evarts, from the library committee, re¬ ported a bill appropriating §50,000 for an equestrian statue of Maj. Gen. John Stark at Manchester, N. H. Calendar. MR. VANCE HAS THK FLOOR. The Montana election cases were then taken np aj. J Mr. Vance, a membor of the committee on privileges and elections, made an argument in support of the minority report.declaring Clark and Mftginnis, the democratic claimants, entitled to the seats. Mr. tance'b littlk story. In the course of his speech he told a story of a parson who was once schooling a country bumpkin to fit him to be a godfather at a christening. The parson asked him what wus the outward and visible sign of baptism. The bumpkin, after scratching his head for a while, an¬ swered with an air of triumph, "Why the baby, to be sure." Aud so, said Mr. Vance, the outward and visible sign of the backsliding of the republican party will be the Montana twins.not a baby, out a couple of thetn. [Laughter.] THE HOUSE. Mr. Morrill (Kan.) moved to suspend the rules And pass (with a substitute) Senate bill granting pensions to soldiers and sailors who are incapacitated from the performance of labor aud providing for pensions to widows, minor children and dependent parents. Mr. Springer (III.) demanded a second and the motion was seconded.128 to 57. Mr. Morrill briefly explained that the substi¬ tute provided a service pension of $8 a month to soldiers who have reached the age of sixty- two years or who are dependent. He thought that the same principle which hid been applied to the veterans of the war of 1312 and the war with Mexico should be applied to the veterans of the war of 1861. RELATIVE EXPENDITURES UNDER TIIK TWO BILLS. In answer to a question from Mr. Savers (Tex.) he stated that it was estimated that the Senate bill would require an an¬ nual expenditure of «3G,000.000 and the House substitute would require $:W.000.000 annually. Mr. lioothman (Ohio) did not arise to oppose the bill, but he protested against bringing a bill of this proportion and forcing its passage through the House without anv member having the right to offer amendments. He would vote for the bill if he had to do so; but this mothod of procedure was unjust to the friends of other measures. He protested against au age limitation or a service pension bill. Mr. Springer (111.) said that he would vote against the motion to suspend the rulos and pass the bill for the reit jou that 110 proper con¬ sideration could be given to the measure in the limited time allowed for debate. There was no opportunity to offer amendments. According to his information not a single Grand Army post had petitioned for the pas¬ sage of this bill. The soldiers had asked lor a service pension bill Mr. Pickler (8.D.) That is right. ATTACKING THK RKPUBLICANS. Mr. 8pringer charged the republicans with an evasion of responsibility, with a dodging of the issue, with tho betrayal of the soldiers. «o whom they had promised a service pension bill. If this bill passed no opportunity would be given in this Congress for the passage of a service pension bill. The soldiers had asked for bread aud the House was giving them a stone. Mr. Tarsney (Mo.) opposed the passage of a bill of this magnitude under the gag law. He would make known his views on the general subject of pension legislation even if he were compelled to interfere with the tea parties which assembled here on Friday nights. He was opposed to indiscrimi¬ nate pension legislation and to any measure which placed the brave soldier ou au equality with the skulking coward. Every time the bounty of the government was given to the unmerltorious man it was taken from the brave veteran. The soldiers of this couutry were tired of this indiscriminate pen¬ sion legislation. MR. CBAIO'8 POSITION. Mr. Craig (Pa.) said that he would vote for the motion to suspend the rules, although the b»ll did not go us far as he would desire. OTHER VIEWS or THE BILL. Mr. Martin (Ind.) suggested that the bill was called up today in order to prevent the offering of amendments ia behalf of the soldiers. He objected to the age and time limitation. He would vote for the motion, but he would do so with great reluct¬ ance. because he believed that it was a break¬ ing of the promises made to the soldier* of the country. Mr. Lane (I1L) said that the bill was not a perfect bill, but it was better than anything now on the statute books and for that reason he favored it. XL TODKK TALKS OF GAG LAW, Mr. Yoder (Ohio) said on Friday he had tent a request to the Speaker, asking for recognition today in order to put on its passage, after four hours, the service pension bill. He had a response to that request in this star chamber proceeding today. The gag law had been placed on the friends of the servioe pension bill. The republicans might gag the House, bat they could not gmg the soldiers of the country. Thev knew who were their friends. No soldiers' organization had petitioned for the passage of the pending bill. aud the outrageous Droceediug of today had been actuated by the desire of the republicans to escape going on record on the service pension bill. Mr. Sawyer (N.Y.) thought that the bill pre¬ sented was the best which could be paused at the present time. MR. TODER CUT OFF. Mr. Yoder closed the debate in opposition to the motion to suspend the rules, and in conclu¬ sion u^ked unanimous consent to substitute for the pending bill the bill. But auiid much laughter the Speaker brought down his gavel anckdeclared that the gentle¬ man's time lad expired. Mr. Cutcheon >Mich.) ridiculed the ideBof geutlemen on the other aide of the charier posing as the friends of the soldier, chiding them with opposing general pension laws during the six years th*y had control of tho House, and declared that every such law which had been enacted had been enacted by republican vote* aud against the opposition of the democrats. CLKRKS WILL BRUSH VP. Examination* for Promotion la th« War Departinent. THE ELIGIBLE LIST BEING EXHAUSTED A KF.W EXAMINATION HAS BEEN ORDERED.ABOCT TWO HUNDRED WHO WILL HAVE TO OO THROUGH THE ORDEAL.-PREPARING THE QUESTIONS. In the summer of lStfT nearly 1,500 clerks of the War Department were examined with a view to determining their fitness for promo¬ tion, possible and prospective. This was due to the action of President Cleveland, who issued an order on May 6. lt*S7, applying clause 2 of rule VI to the War Depart¬ ment. Accordingly everybody was examined, the process lasting several days. A few clerka were dropped because they couid not pass the examination. NEW GRIST t'OR THE MILL. Since then there has been an accumulation of new clerka and of others who have exhausted their options on promotion by going to the next higher grade. It has been the desire ot several bureau chiefs for some time to make certain promotions in order to till gaps that have occurred in the ranks, but all oi the el¬ igible material resulting from the examination of 1^S7 has been exhausted, so that tor two months past Secretary I'roctor has been im¬ portuned to do something to enable the pro¬ motions to be made. lie found himself confronted by the presiueutial order of May, 18S7, * and all he could do, in the absence of any revocation, was to direct the War Departmeut examining board.|Oonsi»t- mg of Messrs. Carrington, Longan and Shaw, to proceed with preparations lor another ex¬ amination. TO ARRANGE ANOTHER EXAMINATION. Accordingly a meeting of this board aud the auxiliary board, consisting of a representative of each bureau, will be held in the library of the War Department next Thursday to decide upon a hue of questions. Ihe regulations ^provide that all promo¬ tions to tho grades ot «1,400 and upward shall be made only atter an examination by the departmental board. Hence it is now necessary to examine all who have been appointed siuce the examina¬ tion of ltW, or have since then been elevated to the *1,200 class, or in the upper classes have been promoted ouce since 188<". ABOUT TWO HUNDRED IN" ALL. There are in all about two hundred who will thus have to be examined. The order was in¬ exorable and applied to ail who had never gone through the mill or who had been through and had become eligible again by reason of a promotion. The examinations w ill he held in about two weeks at the rooms of the Civil Service Coin- mission. As the news spreads in the War De¬ partment theconsternatiou among the ehgibles becomes general aud there is a hunting up of old questions and a renewal of old studies. FOR A POSTAL MUSEUM.

Postmaster General Wanamaker has sent the following letter to postmasters throughout tho country: "As indicated in my report to the President for the year ending J uue 30. 1SSD, the depart¬ ment desires to establish in this city a govern¬ ment museum that shall, as far as possible, rep¬ resent tho progress of the postal system of the United States from its beginning and at the same time shall contain everything that may be offered or can be collected in connection with the work of the service that is either of special interest or geueral historic value. Many articles worthy of preservation and dis¬ play in such a museum ire believed to be in the possession of postmasters throughout the country and not needed by them in the present transaction of public business, and some thiugs of like character are no doubt iu the liauds of private persons, who would be pleased to offer them for public use upou the purpose of the government iu this matter being made known. In view of these facts it is thought proper to call upon all postmasters to make at once a careful search through their offices, and to send to the department as soon as practicable anything thev mav thus fiiul that in their judg¬ ment will be" desirable additions to a postal museum, and also to send anything of similar character that inav be procured from ihe patrons, with such report or remarks in every case as will be appropriate, including, of course, where the article is donated, the giver s name, in order that proper acknowledgment may be made. ..'The following named classes of things con¬ nected with postal work or history are given, with the intention of suggesting what the de¬ partment desires; but anything of interest not comprehended in these classes may be sent: First.Old stamping and postmarking instru¬ ments no longer used. Second.Old mail bags of abandoned patterns. Third.Copies of old editions ot the Postal Laws and Regulations or other postal documents, books or essays on the postal service, old accounts in book form or in sheets, old letters, circulars, blanks, maps, commissions, old newspapers and advertisements relating to postal business or other papers of a postal character, either in print or in writing. Fourth.Illustrations of old post office build¬ ings. postal carriages or wagons and post office materials. Fifth.Portraits of postal officers, either of present or former times. Sixth. Specimens of local postage stamps or of envel¬ opes with -paid' stamp of postmaster thereon, used to prepay postage before the national issue of postage stamps began in 1^47. Also anvthing. either in prist or in writing, relative "to the introduction and use of such local stamps or envelopes. Seventh.Old post office and registered package envelopes of abandoned patterns and styles, kightli . Models, engravings or photographs of exist- ing post ottice buildings, or postal articles, railway cars, steam boats or mail wagons. Ninth.Anything calculated to show the diffi¬ culties attendant upou the carriage of the mails or the management or postal business in newly settled parts of the country. Tenth- Old implement*, relics and curiosities of a mis¬ cellaneous character pertaining to the postal service. ..Without involving the department in any expense it is desired that every postmaster shall take snch steps as. in his discretion, will be best calculated to give publicity to this circular and to carry out it» general purpose. All articles sent in accordance with tliis notice should be securely wrapped and forwarded by registered mail, under penalty envelope or label, addressed to 'Postmaster General. Wash¬ ington, D.C.,' and accompanied by a letter of advice giving the facts In the case. Care must be taken not to send any articles in present use in conducting the work of the postal service." It has not been decided where the museum will be located, l-ut it is expected thst some place in the department building will be set aside for this purpose. The Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Cnyler at the morning service yesterday tendered his resig¬ nation as pastor of the Lafayette Avenue Pres¬ byterian Church in Brooklyn. It waa the thir¬ tieth anniversary of his installation as pastor of the church. OUT ON A STRIKE. Sii Thousand Chicago Carpenters Quit Work. SMALL STRIKE IN BOSTON.

TALKING OK RECIPROCITY.The Way* and Means Committee Can Do

Nothing in Advance of a Treaty.It is understood that a reciprocity treaty with

Mexico is now about completed by the Secre¬tary of State and the representatives of Mexico,and the members of the Senate committee onforeign relations have been informed of itsterms.

It is expected by the party pilots that suchtreaties will be entered into between the UnitedStates aud several of the American republics.The committee ou ways (tnd means is not,however, considering the proposition to putprovisions iu Uie tariff bill for reciprocity.Such a proposition was made to some of the

republican members of the committee, the ideaadvanced being to put a provision in the billthat certain imports from Mexico, Central audSoutu America may be admitted free of duty,in consideration of the removal by those coun¬tries of the duty on certain exports from thiscountry.The members of the committee repliedthat this wus a matter to be dealt with by treatyand not iu a tariff bill.If treaties are negotiated and ratified it is

believed that there will be uodifficulty in secur¬ing the necessary legislation with relation toduties, but no provisiou for reciprocity will beput in the law iu advance of a treaty.

It is understood that the President, SecretaryBlaine aud Speaker Beed have bad a talk overthe general subject.

Fined for Stealing a Newspaper.A colored boy named Andrew Harris plead

guilty in the Police Court to a charge of steal¬ing a copy of Saturday's Stab from Representa¬tive McCorniick's door. As the prisoner was aboy the judge imposed a lower penalty than hewould had he been older aad made the fine 96or Ufteen days.

FROM THE CAPITOL.SERVICE PENSION BILL

A Surprise and a Lively Debate inthe House*

THE MONTANA CONTEST

Taken Up For Consideration inthe Senate Today. -

THE SUNATE.

The House Amendment to the joint resolu¬tion for the removal of the uaval magazinefrom Ellis Island, N.V.. was concurred in.Mr. Evarts presented resolutions of tho New

York Chamber of Commerce protesting againstthe pending bill for a census enumeration ofthe Chinese as absurd, barbarous, unchristianand cowardly, and a memorial on the same

subject from the American Missionary Associa¬tion was presented by Mr. Dawes.Mr. Piatt presented a memorial for the ad¬

mission of New Mexico as a state, but withoutcommitting himself, he said, to the views setforth in it.

REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES.Among the bills reported from the commit¬

tees and placed on the calendar were the fol¬lowing: House bill to amend the homesteadlaws in regard to the manner of applicationsund to fees; House bill to regulate the sittingsof the U.S. courts within the districtof South Carolina; Senate bills for publicbuildings at Kansas City. Mo. (£200,000;) OrandHaven. Mich. (.4100.000), and Mansfield. Ohio(tlOO.OOtl). House bills for public buildings atHaverhill. Mass. (*75,000), and Lynn, Mass.($125,000).

THE MONTANA. CONTESTED ELECTION,Mr. Hoar moved to proceed with the Mon¬

tana contested election case.Mr. Hale asked him to give the preference to

the Chinese enumeration bill, which it wus im¬portant to have disposed of as soon as possible.Mr. Hoar iutimated that the Chinese census

bill could not be disposed of immediately, asMr. Evarts desired to speak upon it.Mr. Hale asked Mr Evarts whether he de¬

sired to debate it at any length.Mr. Evarts said that he did.Mr. Hale then gave notice that he would

move to trfke up the Chinese enumeration billas soon as the Montana electiou case wus dis¬posed of.House bill to allow the erection of a bridge

across the Iowa river at Wapello. Iowa, was re¬ported and passed with aa amendment in theway of a substitute.Mr. Evarts, from the library committee, re¬

ported a bill appropriating §50,000 for anequestrian statue of Maj. Gen. John Stark atManchester, N. H. Calendar.

MR. VANCE HAS THK FLOOR.The Montana election cases were then taken

np aj. J Mr. Vance, a membor of the committeeon privileges and elections, made an argumentin support of the minority report.declaringClark and Mftginnis, the democratic claimants,entitled to the seats.

Mr. tance'b littlk story.In the course of his speech he told a story of

a parson who was once schooling a countrybumpkin to fit him to be a godfather at a

christening.The parson asked him what wus the outward

and visible sign of baptism. The bumpkin,after scratching his head for a while, an¬swered with an air of triumph, "Why thebaby, to be sure." Aud so, said Mr.Vance, the outward and visible sign of thebacksliding of the republican party will bethe Montana twins.not a baby, out a coupleof thetn. [Laughter.]

THE HOUSE.Mr. Morrill (Kan.) moved to suspend the

rules And pass (with a substitute) Senate billgranting pensions to soldiers and sailors whoare incapacitated from the performance oflabor aud providing for pensions to widows,minor children and dependent parents.Mr. Springer (III.) demanded a second and

the motion was seconded.128 to 57.Mr. Morrill briefly explained that the substi¬

tute provided a service pension of $8 a monthto soldiers who have reached the age of sixty-two years or who are dependent. He thoughtthat the same principle which hid been appliedto the veterans of the war of 1312 and the warwith Mexico should be applied to the veteransof the war of 1861.RELATIVE EXPENDITURES UNDER TIIK TWO BILLS.

In answer to a question from Mr. Savers(Tex.) he stated that it was estimatedthat the Senate bill would require an an¬nual expenditure of «3G,000.000 and theHouse substitute would require $:W.000.000annually.Mr. lioothman (Ohio) did not arise to opposethe bill, but he protested against bringing a

bill of this proportion and forcing its passagethrough the House without anv member havingthe right to offer amendments.He would vote for the bill if he had to do so;

but this mothod of procedure was unjust tothe friends of other measures. He protestedagainst au age limitation or a service pensionbill.Mr. Springer (111.) said that he would vote

against the motion to suspend the rulos andpass the bill for the reit jou that 110 proper con¬sideration could be given to the measure inthe limited time allowed for debate. There wasno opportunity to offer amendments.According to his information not a single

Grand Army post had petitioned for the pas¬sage of this bill. The soldiers had asked lor aservice pension billMr. Pickler (8.D.) That is right.

ATTACKING THK RKPUBLICANS.Mr. 8pringer charged the republicans with

an evasion of responsibility, with a dodging ofthe issue, with tho betrayal of the soldiers. «owhom they had promised a servicepension bill. If this bill passed no opportunitywould be given in this Congress for the passageof a service pension bill. The soldiers hadasked for bread aud the House was giving thema stone.

Mr. Tarsney (Mo.) opposed the passage of abill of this magnitude under the gag law. Hewould make known his views on thegeneral subject of pension legislationeven if he were compelled to interfere with thetea parties which assembled here on Fridaynights. He was opposed to indiscrimi¬nate pension legislation and toany measure which placed the bravesoldier ou au equality with the skulking coward.Every time the bounty of the government wasgiven to the unmerltorious man it was takenfrom the brave veteran. The soldiers of thiscouutry were tired of this indiscriminate pen¬sion legislation.

MR. CBAIO'8 POSITION.Mr. Craig (Pa.) said that he would vote for

the motion to suspend the rules, although theb»ll did not go us far as he would desire.

OTHER VIEWS or THE BILL.Mr. Martin (Ind.) suggested that the bill was

called up today in order to prevent theoffering of amendments ia behalf ofthe soldiers. He objected to the age andtime limitation. He would vote for themotion, but he would do so with great reluct¬ance. because he believed that it was a break¬ing of the promises made to the soldier* of thecountry.Mr. Lane (I1L) said that the bill

was not a perfect bill, butit was better than anything now on the statutebooks and for that reason he favored it.

XL TODKK TALKS OF GAG LAW,Mr. Yoder (Ohio) said on Friday he had tent

a request to the Speaker, asking for recognitiontoday in order to put on its passage, after fourhours, the service pension bill. He had aresponse to that request in this star chamberproceeding today. The gag law had beenplaced on the friends of the servioe pensionbill. The republicans might gag theHouse, bat they could not gmg the soldiers of

the country. Thev knew who were theirfriends. No soldiers' organization hadpetitioned for the passage of thepending bill. aud the outrageousDroceediug of today had been actuated by thedesire of the republicans to escape going onrecord on the service pension bill.

Mr. Sawyer (N.Y.) thought that the bill pre¬sented was the best which could be paused atthe present time.

MR. TODER CUT OFF.Mr. Yoder closed the debate in opposition to

the motion to suspend the rules, and in conclu¬sion u^ked unanimous consent to substitute forthe pending bill the bill.But auiid much laughter the Speaker broughtdown his gavel anckdeclared that the gentle¬

man's time lad expired.Mr. Cutcheon >Mich.) ridiculed the ideBof

geutlemen on the other aide of the charierposing as the friends of the soldier, chidingthem with opposing general pension laws duringthe six years th*y had control oftho House, and declared that every such lawwhich had been enacted had been enacted byrepublican vote* aud against the opposition ofthe democrats.

CLKRKS WILL BRUSH VP.

Examination* for Promotion la th«War Departinent.

THE ELIGIBLE LIST BEING EXHAUSTED A KF.WEXAMINATION HAS BEEN ORDERED.ABOCT TWOHUNDRED WHO WILL HAVE TO OO THROUGHTHE ORDEAL.-PREPARING THE QUESTIONS.

In the summer of lStfT nearly 1,500 clerks ofthe War Department were examined with aview to determining their fitness for promo¬tion, possible and prospective. This was dueto the action of President Cleveland,who issued an order on May 6. lt*S7,applying clause 2 of rule VI to the War Depart¬ment. Accordingly everybody was examined,the process lasting several days. A few clerkawere dropped because they couid not pass theexamination.

NEW GRIST t'OR THE MILL.Since then there has been an accumulation

of new clerka and of others who have exhaustedtheir options on promotion by going to thenext higher grade. It has been the desireot several bureau chiefs for some time to makecertain promotions in order to till gaps thathave occurred in the ranks, but all oi the el¬igible material resulting from the examinationof 1^S7 has been exhausted, so that tor twomonths past Secretary I'roctor has been im¬portuned to do something to enable the pro¬motions to be made. lie found himselfconfronted by the presiueutial order ofMay, 18S7,

*

and all he could do,in the absence of any revocation, was to directthe War Departmeut examining board.|Oonsi»t-mg of Messrs. Carrington, Longan and Shaw,to proceed with preparations lor another ex¬amination.

TO ARRANGE ANOTHER EXAMINATION.

Accordingly a meeting of this board aud theauxiliary board, consisting of a representativeof each bureau, will be held in the library ofthe War Department next Thursday to decideupon a hue of questions.Ihe regulations ^provide that all promo¬

tions to tho grades ot «1,400 and upward shallbe made only atter an examination bythe departmental board. Hence itis now necessary to examine allwho have been appointed siuce the examina¬tion of ltW, or have since then been elevatedto the *1,200 class, or in the upper classes havebeen promoted ouce since 188<".

ABOUT TWO HUNDRED IN" ALL.There are in all about two hundred who will

thus have to be examined. The order was in¬exorable and applied to ail who had nevergone through the mill or who had beenthrough and had become eligible again byreason of a promotion.The examinations w ill he held in about two

weeks at the rooms of the Civil Service Coin-mission. As the news spreads in the War De¬partment theconsternatiou among the ehgiblesbecomes general aud there is a hunting up ofold questions and a renewal of old studies.

FOR A POSTAL MUSEUM.Letter of the Postmaster General toPostmasters Throughout the Country.Postmaster General Wanamaker has sent the

following letter to postmasters throughout thocountry:"As indicated in my report to the President

for the year ending J uue 30. 1SSD, the depart¬ment desires to establish in this city a govern¬ment museum that shall, as far as possible, rep¬resent tho progress of the postal system of theUnited States from its beginning and at thesame time shall contain everything that may beoffered or can be collected in connection withthe work of the service that is either ofspecial interest or geueral historic value.Many articles worthy of preservation and dis¬play in such a museum ire believed to be inthe possession of postmasters throughout thecountry and not needed by them in the presenttransaction of public business, and some thiugsof like character are no doubt iu the liauds ofprivate persons, who would be pleased to offerthem for public use upou the purpose of thegovernment iu this matter being made known.In view of these facts it is thought proper tocall upon all postmasters to make at once acareful search through their offices, and tosend to the department as soon as practicableanything thev mav thus fiiul that in their judg¬ment will be" desirable additions to a postalmuseum, and also to send anything of similarcharacter that inav be procured from ihepatrons, with such report or remarks in everycase as will be appropriate, including, ofcourse, where the article is donated, the giver sname, in order that proper acknowledgmentmay be made.

..'The following named classes of things con¬nected with postal work or history are given,with the intention of suggesting what the de¬partment desires; but anything of interest notcomprehended in these classes may be sent:First.Old stamping and postmarking instru¬ments no longer used.
