Washington, August 16.—The presi

his summer vacation in the Adirondack
mountains. He was accompaned by Mrs.
Cleveland, Mrs. Folsom and Colonel and
Mrs. Lament. As the president appeared
on the portico of the white house to take
his carriage he was confronted by a small
party of tourist from Kentucky. They
recognized him at once and asked permis
sion to pay their respects. The presi
dent was willing and shook hands
with each of them as he made his way to
wards his carriage. Mrs. Cleveland and
Sirs. Folsom had already entered the ve

whip and the carriage rolled away the
people on the portico, most of whom were

shouted a hearty “good-bye.” The presi

raising his hat, and the ladies waved
their handkerchiefs from the win
dows. Owing to the fact that
it was not generally known what train the
president would take, there was only a
small'crowd in the station when the presi
dent and party passed to the train. The
president was recognized, however, by
most of the people there, and they raised
their hats as he passed. The party occu

Till 1 Veil Silver t'crtHIrnti’s.
Washington, August 16.—It is learned
at the treasury department that the new
silver certificates authorized at the last
session of congress will not be ready for
issue much before the first of November.
Considerable time is required for the prep
aration of the certificates, principally in
the manufacture of distinctive paper and
in '.he designing and engraving of plates.
The contract for paper ' was.
recently awarded. The designs
of plates iiave been prepared
in past, and were recently approved by
acting Secretary Fairchild. The o;ie dol
lar certificate contains the vignette of Mrs.
Martha Washington. The two dollar cer
tificate the vignette of Major General Han
cock in full uniform, arid the ten dollar
certificates the vignette of Vice President

It is said that either Gen. Grant or Gen.
McClellan will be selected as tlie vignette.

A Civil Servin' Hull’ Altered.
Washington, August 16.— Upon the ad
vices of the civil service commission Presi
dent Cleveland lias altered rule 0 of the
amendment to the civil service rule to read
as follows:
Rule 9—All applications for regular com
petitive examination for admission to the
classified civil service must t e made un
blank forms to lie prescribed by the com
mission. Requests for blank forms of ap
plication for competitive examiuat on for
admission to the classified civil service and
all regular applications for snch examina
tion shall be made.
First—If for classified departmental
service, to the United States civil service
commission at Washington, D. C.
Second—If for classified customs service,
to the civil service board of examiners for
the customs district in which the person
desiring to be examined wishes to enter
the customs service.
Third—If for classified postal service, to
the civil service board ot examiners lor the
post office at which the person to oe -ex
amined wishes to enter the postal service.
Requests lor blank forms ol application
to the customs and postal boards oi ex
aminers must be made in writing 1 by tne
persons desiring examination, and such
blank forms shall not be furnished to any
other person. . . .
The commission in submitting the rule
as amended gave to the president the fol
lowing statement of the reasons for advis
ing the amendments: Under the rule as
it is now, written applications for com
petitive examination for admission to the
classified customs service and to the classi
fied postal service, must be made
to the appointing or nominating officer.
The evil' of this way of making applica
tions have become apparent to the com
mission. An applicant who is a member
of the party to which the appointing or
nominating officer belongs, expresses to
that officer his political opinions and affili
ations by a statement of them, and an ap
plicant who is a member of an opposing
political party exposes his political
opinions and affiliations by his
silence concerning them. Alter
the examination, when notices
of standing have been given the applicants
who have been passed, make haste to in
form the appointing or nominating officer
their standing. Thus the officer becomes
informed not only of the political opinions
and affiliations of all applicants, but also

says of the meeting at Ogden Grove, “the
Irish demonstration Saturday justifies the
charges that have been made against the
present administration of the league. De
voy says it also brings out||into||relief the
aims hitherto publicly denied of a set
of nationalists of which Alexander Sullivan
is the controlling spirit, that the
address is a declaration of war on Parnell.
'Pile address Is construed by Devoy as a
condemnation of the peaceful policy of the
league and the denial of Parnell’s author
ity, or that of the organization of which ho
is chief, to accept on behalf of Ireland any
scheme of home rule that may he proposed
by an English ministry. Devoy concludes
as follows: "Every man put forward by
the Ogden Grove demonstration for an

will represent the physical force policy,
and every resolution proposed by them
will contain the same person disguised as
patriotism. Therefore, they must, be:

COMMENTS OK THE TIMES.
The Times again ' ensures the Protestants
of Belfast for their refusal to submit to the
authorities. Referring to the report that
Lord Randolph Churchill is preparing an
Irish measure, the Times says lie will have
a long and arduous task. The nature ol’
the load government prepared must de
pend in some degree o?i tin* attitude of the
| Irish people, and possibly on the action of
I the Irish convention nt Chicago. It is
j quiti certain Unit nothing like a statutory
parliament will enter into Lord Randolph's
' scheme, and that the development of a
, country government, on an elective system
i will he applied on the same principles to
j all parts of the kingdom.

REPORTS SHOWING THE NEW CASES AND
DEATHS.
London, August 16.—The Austro-Hun
garian cholera reports for to-day are as fol
lows: Trieste, 16 new cases and 3 deaths;
Finnic, 3 new eases.
The Italian reports arc: Barlctta, 60
now' cases and 30 deaths; Ruvo Die Pugli,
21 new cases and 7 deaths; Bologna, 13 new
cases and 5 deaths; Padua, 11 new coses
and 14 deaths; Troviso, IS new cases and
10 deaths; Verona, 6 new cases arid 2 deaths;
Legna.no, 12 new cases and 3 deaths; Ven
ice, 7 new’ eases and 2 deaths; Bisceglia, 13 j
new eases and 2 deaths; Acquaviva, 14 new |
eases and 3 deaths.
The geographical area affected by cholera !
exhibits the capricious behavior of this
mysterious disease. Thus it is worse in i
Barlctta, which is faraway in the south, i
where the coast district between Monte j
(Jargons and Brindisi is more or less j
affected. Thence it makes a clean leap of
300 miles to Ravenna and Bologna,
then turns northward, extending, though ,
in a less virulent form, throughout Vene-
tia, including the island of Chiaggia, and
reaching as far east as Verona and as far 1
west as Castel, France, at the foot of tlie
Alps. It is a noteworthy fact that the ;
places most seriously threatened lie in the
centre or on the edge of the marshy plains ;
formed by the alluvial deposits of the j
rivers or the settling of the sea, which
always induce more or less malaria at this
season of the year.

Washington,' August 15.—The post
master-general has issued a circular to
postmasters concerning the putting into
operation on October 1st of the act author
izing the extension of the special delivery
system to all post offices and to all mail-
able matter. Kvery post office in the
United State* and territories is designated
ns a six. iid d i’vt rv 'dUre.
Oil and a Her October 1 every postmaster
will be held responsible for Die immediate
- delivery of every article of mailable matter
I which’"may be* received addressed to his
I office properly stamped with a special de
livery stamp’. Such immediate delivery
! must be made when the article is directed
1 to an uddresM-v residing or having a place
I of busino: s within one mile of the post-
office. The obligation to deliver does not
! extend to an addressee beyond that dis-
1 tance, but the postmaster will lie at liber-
! ty to make xich delivery beyond such
: limits and to r< ceive compensation there-
j ft r ns in any ot her c s .
j fhe hour- within wnich the immediate
I delivc rv shah be made shall be at least
I from 7 a. m. to 7 p. in., ami further until
I the arrival of the last mail, provided such
arrival be not later than '.to’enP'fi p. m.
! Postmasters m i* not required to make
i livery of special delivery matter on Sun
day, but will be at liberty to do so. Regis-
i tcred matter will be entitled to special de-
I livery the same as ordinary matter when
i bearing a special delivery stamp, in addi-
• tion to full nostage and the registry fee re-
I quired by law and regulations. No effort
will bo spared by post masters and other
postal officers to expedite the mailing of
i matter bearing a sneeial delivery stamp.
No change will hi* made in the general
! style of tin: special deli very stamp now in
use. Special delivery stamps are to he sold by
postmasters in any required amount, and
! to any person who may apply for them,
but can hr- used only for the purpose of*
, securing immediate delivery of matter.
! Under no circumstances are they to be
j used in payment of postage of any desorip-
' tion, or of registry lee, nor can any other
1 stamps be employed to secure special de-
lh ry. The special delivery stamp must
be in addition to the lawful postage, and
! any article of first-class matter not prepaid
i with at least one full rate of postage, and
j any parcel of any other class of matter,
postage* on which has not been fully pre
paid, must be treated as held for postage,
, even though hearing a special delivery
! stamp.
!. Postmasters are urgently enjoined to
| give most diligent attention to the system
of immediate delivery sought to be estab
lished. Its success will depend upon the
| cure of the postmasters to secure in every
cose the desired delivery. No failure in
any instance, where tin* delivery is possi
ble, can be considered excusable. The
| certainty that a letter bearing a delivery
stamp will be urgently forwarded through
the mails .and immediately delivered will
commend the service to the public, and
j will be demanded by the department.
Kvery complaint of failure in such de
livery will be promptly investigated, and
the responsibility fixed, with prooer con-
i sequences. No office, however small, is
; exempt from this obligation, and the sys-
j tern and duties under it aic so simple that
no exeusi can he Accepted lor any failure
j to meet the obligation.
