Hirmtiitrlinm Gets the Free Delivery System—An Amended Civil Service Rule-Tile President’s Plans far llis Vacation Trip. Kte, Washington, August 16.—The presi dent left this morning at 9:40 o’clock for 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 hicle, and as the coachman cracked his whip and the carriage rolled away the people on the portico, most of whom were waved their handkerchiefs and people ladies, shouted a hearty “good-bye.” The presi dent acknowledged the compliment by 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 pied a special car tendered by the directors of the Delaware and Hudson canal com pany. It was attached to the rear of the Kew York limited express. of their relative standing of eligible regis ters.

In this c • ..u'Ction it may be said that the commission has lately instructed its customers and postal boards of examiners not to permit the appointing or nominating offi cer or any other person to have possession of or have a copy of any eligible register, not to permit the appointing or nomina ting officer to inspect or see any eligible register or cony thereof, for the reasons al ready herein stated. This order will be 1 almost nugatory if rule nine remains un- changed. Under rule nine as it is now written the appointing or nominating officer can obtain information Representatives to the Groat Convention to be Held at Chicago.

Washington, August lfi.—Tlie demand for increased facilities for constructing the batteries to be placed upon the new ships of war has made it necessary to reassign the shops and buildings of the Washington navy. yard. Secretary Whitney has directed that all the shops, machinery, tools and appliances assigned for the use of the bureaus of construction and repair, the steam engineering yards and docks and the equipment and recruiting shall be turned over to the control of the bureau of ord nance on the first day of October, 1SS6.

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 Hendricks. The design for the five dollar silver certificate has not yet been selected. It is said that either Gen. Grant or Gen. McClellan will be selected as tlie vignette. Pri'Nlileiitinl A|)|iiiintni<'iit.

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 on the part of wrong-doing into violations Pepper, Dr. T.

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 ollU’c in the convention or in the league will represent the physical force policy, and every resolution proposed by them will contain the same person disguised as patriotism. Therefore, they must, be: crushed that tlie national movement may live. Their triumph will mean wftr on Parnell begun when convenient and dis grace and ruin of a movement filled with brighter promise titan Ireland has seen for a century.” THE AUGUSTA MILLS.

Tennessee can safely be count ed on for not less than 80,000 democratic majority, although tlie political situation is a trifle complicated st ill by local issues relating to railroad legislation and also by reason of the fact that a certain element of the democratic party is strongly commit ted to* protection. The Taylor brothers, who are the candi dates, Robot L. on the democratic and Alfred on the republican ticket, are the sons of old Col.

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. !

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.

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.

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.
