The Raleigti Postoffice Put Under the Civil Service Law Sir. Lyman's Letter of Notification A Requi sition for a Burglar The Penitentiary Board The Cotton Mills Nearly 5 , Completed. . " Messenger Bureau, ? Raleigh, April ,19. A curious fact is that some of the Re? publican postmasters are actually laugh ing at the information that they are to be retained until - their terms" expire. One was here to-day who "ridiculed - the Democrats for keeping him in, and an ex-Federal office holder declared that the Democrats were driving nails " in their own coffin by keeping such fellows in positions. There ought to be a big kick on this matter. . ' ' " . - - To-day the, Raleigh postoffice" went ab solutely under Civil Service rules, natur ally to the great delight of the employes, who, with one exception, are earnest Republicans, and who are now in for "life or good behavior.". The Democratic postmaster will have mighty little patronage. Some weeks ago an exam ination of some twenty aspirants for positions as clerks and letter carriers was held here. Perhaps most of them ex amined thought that if successful they would, under the change of administra tion, take the place of the present hold ers of these places. The clerks, letter carriera, etc., now in were not examined at all, but were regarded as already ex amined and passed. Of the twenty ex amined, the president of the Civil Ser vice Commission to-day states that eight Eassed, in other words became 'eligi le," in case of the death or resignation of the men now in omce. - ihese eight who are eligible are: For clerks, Elijah Clark and G. L. Tonnoffski, both white. (The latter was a red-hot Third party worker in the last campaign). For letter-carriers, Samnel A. Johnson and Ruf us A. Price, white, and Lafayette W. Nash, colored. For stamper or messenger, Thomas J. Davis, colored. In the letter of notification. Mr. Lyman says: "The classification of the Raleigh postoffice is now complete, and all ap pointinents,to the classified non-excepted positions therein, must hereafter be made from certificates by the secretary of the board of civil service examiners from his list of eligiblc-s. The date of the require ment of eligibles for positions in the Ra leigh postoffice is certified as April 19th." The clerks, etc., smiled to-day very broadly after they had all taken a squint at the order. No doubt they thought how lonesome a Democratic postmaster would be in the office. All the many people who aspired to clerkships, car rier' places, etc., are deep down "in the soup. There are no new features in the fight, if so it can be termed (as it is a very quiet affair) for the position of postmas ter. Friends of the three applicants ap pear to feel sanguine. The contest is pleasantly conducted. Governor Carr to-day made requisition on CJovemor Tillman, of feouth Caro lina, for" Sam Cannon, a negro who stands charged with the double crime of burglary and assault with intent to commit rape at the house of Mrs. Juha E. Brown, of Robeson county; Cannon is in iail at Marion, S. C, and the sheriff of Robeson will go there after him. The hundreds of applicants for minor positions in the penitentiary were disap pointed yesterday, no aouot, as the di rectors at their meeting decided to make no changes until May, and may not make any then. Mr. Leazar, the super intendent, is feeling nis way carefully, and knows what a great problem he has before him, Jt is possible that a place will be provided for Mr. W. J. Hicks, for twenty-five years the warden, that office having been abolished by the last Legis lature. So was the office of deputy war? den and steward. The board has reduced the salary of the prison physician from $1,000" to $509, There are few convicts here now and the physician's work is light. Dr. Lof tin is corjiHHje.d as physi cian at the Castle Hayne convict' arm and Dr. Furgerson at the farms on the W... moke. Mr. J. J. Bernard is "con tinued a book-keeper. All the officers continue as thev are until May. Deputy Warden Fleming, like M-. Hicks, a vete ran and faithful official, may be perma.' nfntlv retained. A. J. Marshall, of Wilmington, is ap- nointed a notary public. The sheriff of Northampton county to ri av hromrht three convicts to the pern- t.entiarv. and the sheriffs of Brunswick, Oswell and Greene eeunties each Vn-micht one convict.

COMMERCIAL NEWS. Stocks anil Bonds in New Yorlc ; Grain and Provision Markets of - Chicago. . " New York, April 19. The stock mar-. ket was feverish and irregular through out the day. The uncertainty in regard j to the policy of "the Government with j reference to the currency question causes : timidity among the traders, which assists j those workiug for ..lower prices.- ; The break of Zi per cent, in Missouri Pacific j at the opening to 47, on the rumor that the road was about to be placed in the j hands of a receiver, led to a decline in i the general list of ili per cent. On anH omcial contradiction of this rumor the Btock rallied to 49i. Other stocks ad vanced i to 2 per cent, in sympathy, Lhstiilers leading -with, a rise to aa. Reading was also noticeably firm and there was more or less covering allj around. The most decisive move ment of the dayi occurred during the ; last half . hour of business, when the "posted rates for Sterl ing exchange were advanced to 4.88 4.90 and there was talk of the shipment of $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 gold by Satur day's steamers. On all this the bears made a violent attack, under which prices in a majority of instances went lower than before. ! Manhattan yielded 4f per cent, to 145$, Chiccgo Gas, Na tional Cordage, Lead and Distillers 2 to iff, Cotton Oil and Sugar 2, Rock Island 1, Western Union li, Lackawanna 1 and General Electrice 1. Other losses were less important Dealings increased in volume as prices declined and were attended with unusual animation. Fi nally a rally of i to i per cent, occurred, but tne tone of tne marfcet at the close was heavy on rumors of gold exports late in the week. . Sales of listed stocks were 257,000.shares; unlisted, 48,000. Chicago, April 19. For the firsfc time in months the May price of wheat to-day was the same here as at JNew York. Another notable feature "Was that May and July sold within Jc of each other." May wheat opened c lower and prices further declined lie, ruled steadier, and the closing was easy, ic from the inside. The July future opened $c lower and de clined ic more, then -advanced fc, again weakened and sold off fc, ruled steadier Jc from the bottom for the day. In corn the temper of the crowd was rather bearish. May closed fc and July ic lower. ' Oats closed at the bottom figures, f to ic decline for the day. Provisions closed strong at about the best prices of the day, with September pork showing a gain of 35c over last night, September lard Ho and ribs 12c. Illinois Municipal Elections, .Chicago, April 19. The elections throughout Illinois yesterday were main ly on the saloon and anti-saloon question, and the wets had the best of it in the State as a whole. In several places, how ever, the strife was between the two political parties, though these places are so few as to make an estimate of the State a very doubtful affair. Galena went Democratic, Ottawa and Decatur went Democratic, though the Republi cans captured four out of seven alder men in the latter town. Paris went solidly Republican as did Belvidere and Winonk went Democratic. Freeport has a new Republican mayor, and the Inde pendent ticket triumphed in Alton. Peoria, 111 , April 19 The city elec tion yesterday resulted in the success of the entire Republican ticket by majori ties ranging from 2,000 to 3,000, tlie lat ter being the majority for Philo B. Miles for mayor. Col. WarnerV who had been elected mayor of Peoria six times, the last time by 800 majority, headed the Democratic ticket. The contest was one of the most exciting ever held here and derived its chief significance from the fact that it was a ' test of the present strength of anti-Popery association .which organization supported the Republican candidates.

He will go to New York next week and remain until the official ceremonies connected' with the review are over. A short rest will follow his re turn to Washington and he will then leave for Chicago to be absent three or four days. The details of the programme are not yet arranged.

All the ladies of the families of the members of the Cabinet will be with the President and Cabinet in New York and it is probable will accompany the Presidential party to Chicago. Secretary Herbert is confined to j his rooms by the grip and was unable? to come to the Navy Department to-day. For the first time since the adjourn ment of the Senate, tiie White House to day was free to all who came to see ! the President, and, contrary to the expecta tion of a number of interested observers, there was no great rush of office seekers, Senators and Representatives came slow ly between the hours 10 and 12 : o'clock and at noon all others who came on busi ness were admitted.

The story given out yesterday that the Dowager Duchess of Sutherland,' who was sentenced to six , weeks imprisonment in Hplloway jail for contempt of court, - had been locked ' up, was universally printed and believed, It transpires to-day, however, that the report was erroneous. Her counsel ob tained permission for her to remain at her villa in Windsor for the night with the understanding that she surrender to the authorities. It is now announced that she was taken suddenly ; ill at 4 o'clock this morning. The requisite num ber of physicians' certificates have been obtained for the purpose to keep her out of jail for the time being. Meantime, effort is being made to demonstrate that the judge exceeded his authority, and that a titled woman is exempt under the provisions of law governing oivil cases. Herst however, is a criminal case. ; j A Sensation in the South Carolina Liqnor Cases. Columbia. S. C, April 19. A sensa tion was sprung in the fight against the Dispensary bill to-day, when Maj.

The paragraph making the charges says that the bill never acquired the force of a law in the State because the original, which was passed by both Houses, was altered and changed by Ira B.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CREWS WIN ALL THE RACES..' The American Tars Celebrating Their : Victory Another French Cruiser Arrives and the Usual Bom- . . bardment Carried On Our - New Cruiser, the Detroit, Shows Herself to the . foreigners. Fort Monroe, Va.; April 19. Another foreign ship passed in between the Capes early this morning and dropped anchor with the fleet. The French flagship Are- thuse, daily expected for some time, was sighted before many persons were astir. At 8 o'clock, as the bands on the flag ships at anchor were playing national anthems, the big cruiser came lazily drifting down the Roads under easy steam and just as she got abreast of the "ri .j i i ..I " : 1 : . , . jriuiauBipiua uie n mmuau ensign orone out from her main and as its folds straightened out to the stiff breeze twen ty-one guns were fired in it honor. The Arethuse had hardly taken her position with her "two companions, the Jean Bart and the Hussard , at the ; extreme east end of the fleet, when the water bat tery at the 'fort answered heri gun for gun. Then Admiral Gherardl was saluted with seventeen more guns and the Phil adelphia promptly responded with the same number. ; 1 - -- These ceremonies over, the Frenchman turned her attention to the foreicners in the harbor, and for Over I a half hour there was an incessant bombardment of the quick regular volleys of the British ers, the deliberate, sharp cracks of the Russians, the heavy; ponderous thunder of the Hollander and the prompt smart reports of the Italian, as they all saluted or answered the salutes of - the admiral commanding the new arrival. The re port made by so many discharges fairly shook the ground and caused window panes to rattle like hail falling on a tin rooi. - -. -. l . To-day is wash-day on the American ships, and the rigging of the vessels were strung with jumpers, trousers and black silk handkerchiefs of , the sailors, which fluttered in the breeze and added noth ing to the beauty of the vessels. The harbor continues to fill up with all sorts of pleasure boats, big side-wheel steamers and luxuriant . yachts, - Many people who could not obtain accommo dations on shore have come; in their chartered steamers and live aboard them at night, while day they, spend visiting the ships and Beeing the sights - in the naroor. . ------ - j The Argentine Republic's shin has not yet arrived,- nor has the other Russian and two Italians, which are sotaewhere in the vicinity of the Capes and may drop in at any moment..

Two Brazilian ships are en route from the West Indies and the Spanish ships are somewhere between here and Havana with the Columbus caravals in tow. , All of these war vessels are liable to arrive before the end of theweek and Ad miral Gherardi is confident that when he sails Monday there will he few countries who accepted the invitation to partici-, pate in the review whose ships will not do nere. - ; : "- : Just before noon the new cruiser Da- troit, which has had her trial trioNorth. came into the Roads with two broom-) made fast to her rigging, indicating that the navy had another ship that could sweep the seas. She circled around the fleet, then steamed out for Butiraore. - -In the afternoon the. cqmnjancler of the Arethuse stepped into nia gig and was rowed ta the Philadelphia - where he called officially upon Admiral " Gherardi auu was reueivea wim aue ceremony. Thirteen guns announced his departure, and later, when Admiral -Gherardi re turned the call the same ceremonies were enacted aboard the French ship. During the day the Frerich admiral called upon CoL Frank and the officers of the foreign ships and more gunpowder was burned. lo-night the men of the cruiser San Francisco own the earth . In everv race in which their crews, rawed to-day they came off- yictGrious. With the finest ship in the fleet, with John Cruttenden vv arson for their commander and now with victory perched upon all their ban ners, they are willing to ; challenge the world and give odds. The enthusiasm of the San Franciscoans at Fort Monroe to-night is hilarious enough to" be heard at the Golden Gate,, The men are off on liberty and the officers are exultant. Nor is this exultation confined merely to the officers and men of the crack ship. All Americans are happy, becausein a con test with the most athletic fellows of the English and Russian i fleett.
