The Service Demoralized by Republi can. Methods. Washington, July 26.— A number of the appointments made at the dictation of the republican bosses by Postmaster General Wanamaker in the railway inaii service in the hurry before the civil service laws were extended to take in the railway mail service, turn out to be invalid because made in violation of law. The mat ter will be brought to the attention of the civil servioe commission, and if it does not 'deal, with it successfully it will be brought by resolution to the at tention of congress. It will bo remembered that when Presi dent Harritou felt obliged to refuse Post master General Wanamaker’s request that he hhouid still furtnor extend the time within which appointments could be made to the railway mail service without the in tervention of the civil service commission beyond May 1, to which date President Harrison had postponed the execution of President Cleveland’s order, ull the avail able clerks in the postoffice department were set to work making changes. Repub lican congressmen brought long lists of men to be appointed in place of men to be turned out. The guillotine was kept busy and hundreds of vacancies wore made. GIVEN BLANKS TO FILL. In some cases so anxious wore the Post master General and the general superin tendent of the railway mail service to get democrats out and republicans in that they gave congressmen blanks to fill. The clerks and the congressmen worked day and night and Sundays to get as many changes made as possible before May 1, when under the law, as applied by presidential order, all appoint ments must bo made from tb.o o rtified lists furnished by the civil service commis sion. In their haste the clerks and congress men made more vacancies than they could fill in the brief time at their command, and yet they kept on ap pointing so as to All those vacancies from lists of men selected by the congressmen for these places. Consequently men were appointed from these lists after May 1, and until May 10, who had never passed the'civil service examination. These appointmeni* wore therefore made in violation of law and are legally void. Democratic representatives are writing hero about them and aro taking measures to have them annulled. Reports of the demoralization in the rail way mail service resulting from the eleventh hour appointments of I*3iotemasr General Wauamaker are coming in constantly. STATE ipPARTMSNT AFFAIRS. Walker Blaine and W. H. Trescot Now Running the Machine. Washington, July 20.—' The department of state is now being run by Walker Blaine and William Henry Trescot. William F. Wharton, First Assistant Sec retary and acting Secretary of State, is a novice in the department, and has only mastered the duties of his own office. A. A. Adee, the Second Assistant Secre tary of State, upon whose experience and learning Secretary Blaine’s predecessors have depended, is taking a much needed rest in Europe. John B. Moore, Third Assistant Secretary of State, sticks closely to his own duties. J. Fcsser Lee. the eliief clerk, is expect ing to be relieved at an early day, and does little but routine work. BLAINE TAKING IT EAST. Secretary Blaiue himself has done just as little work since ho came into the state de partment as he possibly could. He has spent most of his time listening to office-seekers or overseeing tha alterations in and the furnishings for his needy leased house. Now that he is out of Washingtonhe does not pretend to be doing anvttiing but preparing his address of welcome for the coming Araerieanpongress. Mr. Trescot, as one of the commissioners, is making all the arrangements for the con gress, and getting alarmed at t ieir back wardness has had to call iu W. E. Curtis to help him. THE YOUNGSTERS DOING WELL. All other matters important and unim portant in the state department are passed upon by Walker Blaine and William Henry Trescot, who seem to have been created unofficially a commission to manage the foreign alfairs of our government during the present interregnum. They are doing so well that there seems to be no good reason why Secrotary Bisine should resign as some people still insist that he will. He can tako all the time he wants to recover his health unless Harrison and Morton should die and he should thereby become President. Even then Son Walker and Friend Trescot might perform his duties.

BRADLAUGU HAB HI3 3AY ON THE PROPOSED GRANTS. Calmtijees Difficult When Balfour De nounces the Objections aa and Disgusting - A Dental ThntKho Royal Family Has Evqr Surrendered Any thing--Lord Churchill Replies. IiONftON, July £6.—When the debate on the roysl grants was resumed in the House of Commons to-day, Mr. Bradlaugh said he found difficulty in dis cussing the quesftou calmly when Mr. Balfour outside of tho Homo denounced the objections aa disgusting and sordid. The opponents of the grant meant nothing personally discourteous to tlih member* of the royal family, but were simply acting within their rights when they mot the de mands of the crown on the question of finance with a direct negative. Much of tho argument in favor of the grants was based on the erroneous idea that tho crown, under the civil list ants from George 1. on ward, surrendered its private property iu exchange for a civil list, NOTHING EVER SURRENDERED. Neither George I. nor his successor, Mr. Bradlaugh declared surrendered anything. The present royal family never surrendered anything of a farthiuy’s value to tho coun try. The oomimHeo of inquiry had elicited th fact that during tho present ruigu the savings upon certain classes under the civil list act, instead of being applied to defray the charges of other climes, had been handed to the queen without tho author ity of parliament and it* breach of tlm statute. [Cries of “Hoar” “Hear”.) Rf. Hon. W. H. Smith, the govern ment leader had denied that the alleged savings of the queen were over £3,000,000, but he declined to show how much money bed either boon saved by the queen or drawn by other members of the nyitl family from all sources. Mr. Bradlaugh said there ought to be nothing to conceal. The fact of concealing led to exaggerated ideas. The refusal of the government to disclose tho wealth amassed by royalty justified the aversion of the country to royal grants. [Cheers.] CHURCHILL REPLIES. Lord Randolph Churchill argued that the original demands of the government were just, besides being iu conformity with prec edent. If burdens were thrown upon tho crown not intended uudor the civil list, it would impair the credit of the nation, and of parliament. Mr. Bradlaugh had ques tioned the title of the crown to its estates, but sucoossive parlinmoots had recognized and none of the greatest lawyers had ever yet challenged the crown’s title. AN OKVieIAI, DENIAL. He reminded the House that Sir Henry F. Ponsonby, her majesty’s private secr,e tary a few years ago, dented the reports that the queen was making iiikln.en.se in vestments in ground rents, and stated that she had qot £I,OJJ,OO(J to invest in any thing. Lord Randolph said that the radical overestimate of the queen’s wealth Was de signed' to excite popular foiling against royalty. He objected to the adoption of methods, the purpose of which was to foment clamor against the throne, which iu spite of thorn Would yomaiu steadfast in tho affections of tho people. [Cheers.] Mr. Labouclwre’s motion to adopt hi* Substitute for the report of the royal grants committee Was rejected by a vote oF3'JS to 116. The majority consisted of 252 conserv atives, 54 unionists and &2Giadstonians and ParnellitAs. Slossr*. Gladstone and Morley, Sir Will iam Vernon Harcqurt, Messrs. Parnell, O’Brien, and the bulk of file liberals and Parnellites voted with the majority. The radical minority included Sir. G. XV. Q. Trevylan, Itiehard Chamberlain and T. P. O’Connor. Mr. Morley will on Monday move an amendment declaring that tho House is un willing to increase the burdens of ttie peode without assurance that no further grants will be made. hartington’s complaint. Lord Hartington complained of Mr. Bradlaugu’s pedagogic air. die said that if it was true that the law was contravened in allowing civil list surpluses to accrue to the crown, it was almost a case for iiflpoaching the present and former ministers. It was impossible to lay down hard and fast rules. Ho thought that the queen's waiving tiio claims of younger children met the present, case, and that the future might he left to a future parliament. Iu any caso the queen’s message was worthy of respectful atten tion. REFUSED TO THE PRINCE CONSORT. Wilfred Lawson twitted tho conserva tives for refusing a grant to the prince con sort, and evoked laughter by recalling certain uncomplimentary references made by Mr. Chamberlain to royalty. "Mr. Goschen, chancellor of the oxchequor, after refuting iu detail the contentions of Xlessrs. I-alxiuchoro and Bradlaugh, con trasted Mr. Gladstone’s dignified utterances with th"se heard to-night, and said that there was little need to fear the result uf the debate. PRESENTS OF A PRINCESS.

Groat Industries Getting a Firmer Footing—Crop Prospects Improve<Jf With a Probability of a Large Kor elan Demand—The Wool Market In clined to be Still Less Clear. New York, July 36. V-R. -G. Dun jJB Co.’s review of trade for tho week is as fol low*: The bu-inossoutlook had on the whole improved during the week, but on Thurs day tho assignment of an important dry goods commission houso with liabilities of over $4,000,000 occasioned some disquietude, Asjbunks and other lenders in several cities aro affected to some extent, and may be ren dered more cautious in scrutinizing paper, tho effect may not be fully realized at once. But the general tenor of advices is encouraging. Ths crop prospects improve; and there is a probability of a large foreign demand. The apprehended financial difficulties Ho not yet arrive, the great industries seem td bo getting in a stronger position, and the railway situation is, at least, no worse. All the cities except nine report larger bank clearings than a year ago, and while tho increase is not as large as it has baeu ip other recent weeks, it is shared l,y more than throe-quarters of tho cities at which speculative dealings are not important. As to the dry goods failure, the present re, p rts hold out the hone that the li&billtiua ’ will ultimately lie fully met. wheat’s improvement. I,ate accounts indicate a decided im provement in tho wheat prospects in Da kota and Minnesota, the yield being eat it mated at 80,000,000 bushels against ytX) lat year. Foreign reports’ are emi nently two-fqced, but ou tho whole, promise a larger demand than last year. New wheat is going freely and beginning to olleq)! foreign exchange, and iu confirmation of the {last estimate old wheat in large quant ities continues to come forward from north western farms, where speculators hava represented tho supply as ex* ixiu, ted, Tho price has advanced X, corn and oats % und hog products hava declined a fraction. Cotton reports are 0.1 the whole fayorabio, especially from Texa*, hut the soantiuess of the present supply sus tains prices, which aro unchanged. .Sugar* has decllued X in spite of tho report that a famino is imminent. The consumption has been sharply reduced by the high prices, Tho. general average of prices is a shad* higher ti.an a week ago. IMPROVEMENT IN TIIB GREAT BRANCHES. There seems to he real and steady im-‘ provement in tho condition of tho great branches of industry, ail hough it is by no moans such os yot as to clear away unoer tuihty. The demand for iron in various forms lias so far increased as to causa general stiffening ot prices during the past week m. spite of the enormous production. Bar iron is a tohth of a oent higher. Rail* are Arm at S2B, and riaiis are stronger. The business ill structural and sheet iron is vbry satisfactory, but the demand for plate is 'a shade less urgent. Thu official report shojya that the production of pig, 3,366,677 gross tons, was the largest in any hall' year j u tho.oountry’s history, and, wijle stocks in* ero)ii!*d atKjut 200,000 torts, the cousurripf tion, was but 70,000 tons leas than in last-half of 1888- 181,000 leas of northern iron, apparently,'and 81, 000 tons more of southern iron. But the productiohn has been in excess of the demand. THE WOOL MAHKftT, Signs of impiavement.ln the,woolen bus iness arh less clear, but manufacturers hava boon buying more freeiy„ nuj there boa been some, increase in the Orders for goods? Confidence in a largo fall trade is umlimin* ' ished, and while tho stocks on hand in some lines are huge, there is a feeling that the,force of foreign competition will bo ieqa, felt hereafter. Tho movement' jit cotton goods is fairly satisfactory, and print doth* are u shade stronger. BOOTS jfIVD SHOES.

The coal business is dull anil weak, witbk a shut down in Lehigh and Wilkesbarre. BUSINESS GOOD IN THE INTERIOR. All accounts from interior cities indicate that business is fairly good for the season, though there is, perhaps, a rather genera) feeling that the fail irada does not opert quite as early or as briskly as had beet* hoped. The monetary supply is at all reporting ample, and the complaints of blo.y collections are' fewer than usual; Tha treasury has taken in *2,000.000 more than It has paid out during the week, but the ex* ports of gold have been for the moment ar rested, aud commercial bills are more freely made against gram and cotton to go abroad. The exports from New York for tha three weeks of July have exceeded last year’p by 16% per cent., though the imports are also large. THE STOCK MARKET. .
