The principal work, however, will lie done in Washington this fall, after tho November elections, and Mr. Fleming is keeping up fully with the commis sion's work. Stenographers and copyists accompa ny the committee and Mr. Fleming is now in receipt of the printed facts and figures collected. The deficit In the administration of the postoffice de partment is alleged by some to he due to the abuse of the second class mail matter, or rather the regulations gov erning second class mail mat ter. Others state that (lie present rates charged by the rail roads are too high. This question Is to he fully investiga ted. Mr. Fleming considers that for the reason stated that the main work will not begin until the foil, and that the committee Is of sufficient size to secure the desired farts and figures on which to hase their recommendations; that these facts and figures are nil printed and submitted to him frequently, that he wilt not lose as much as would at first consideration appear, through not vim i*»,4.1» uk AisMkNM la a Non* at ka I Ingins name*. • ' a k.«*w» t»*4«gm« w ta** I . tae. i «s*"i*l - kappewe* •» a perwMae ■a. «*>»■!

The complement of the Bancroft is ten officers and 100 men. The Bancroft will probably talte coal.; and also have some rc rairs made on her machinery, which is somewhat out of order. The Vesuvius. The dynamite cruiser Veauvlus has i been in Chat lesion harbor on several occasions. But all those visits were | "before the last war." and now there an a ided interest taken in the long. ! loc vessel, with tbe three queer look- j ipg tubes showing up at the boa'. The, work of this vessel during the siege cfj Santiago has caused it to be watched > and eon'men led on by the power* of the world, and it is said that some otb-1 er governmen's contemplate bnilding boats as near- like tt as po«s'h!e. The Vesuvius is under command of Lt, Com. J, E. Pillsbury. and is on her wa" to Tompkinsville. The auxiliary cruiser Sylvia, former ly a Savannah tow boat, is bound for Norfolk, and stopped in at Charleston for coal. It is in charge of Lt. J. H. Peters. The torpedo boat Rodgers. Lt. J. L. Payne, en route for Norfolk. !s also in for coal. Messrs. William Johnson & Co. yes terday coaled the Sylvia, and todav will give the Vesuvius and the Rodg ers a supply of Pocahontas. It Is probable that all (he vessels except the Bancroft will sail north today. ’ ~ SUSPICIOUS CASE.
