WASHINGTON NOTES
NEWS CONCERNING THE VARI¬
OUS DEPARTMENTS.
Sayings and Doings of tlie President
and Members of the Cabinet.
Orders have been issued to hurry
the work on the Detroit at Norfolk, so
that she may sail for China iu compli
anee with Secretary Herbert’s direc
tions as soon as possible.
The post office department, because
of the insufficiency of tho appropria¬
tion, is obliged to stop advertising un¬
claimed letters, which cost $20,000 a
year, Quite a number of other de¬
partments—notably tho army and
navy departments—by reason of ser¬
vices of exigency, are ou tho ragged
brink of deficiencies, which it will be
difficult to avoid.
General Howard has issued orders
from the headquarters department of
the east, nt Governor's Island, N. V,,
to Lieuteuant AUyn Capron, Fifth in¬
fantry, with Company I, Twelfth in¬
fantry (Indian company), to proceed
without delay to Fort Sill, Indian Ter¬
ritory, with all the Apache Indian pris¬
oners (Geronimo’s band) now nt
Mount Vernon, Alabama.
Surgeon General Wyman, cA the ma¬
rine-hospital service, has appointed
Passed Assistant Surgeon J. A. White,
Lieutenant Robertson, of the revenue
cutter service, and Dr. G. G. Thonms,
of Wilming, N. C., ns aboard to select
a site for a quarantine and marine hos¬
pital station at or near Southport, N.
C. Congress made an appropriation
of $25,000 for this station, and as soon
ns the board selects the site work on
the building will begin.
So many Americans havo applied to
the Japanese legation for employment
in the service of Japan during the
present war that in order to answer
such applications promptly, the minis¬
ter has been obliged to have recourse
to a printed circular in which ho re¬
turns a negative reply to all inquiries
and stating that nt this juncture the
Japanese government does not feel
under tho necessity of employing any
persons in addition to those who have
been trained to perform tho duties of
such service.
Reviving Industry.
A general but gradual revival of
business is making itself felt in the
treasury by tho heavy demand for
small notes of the denominations of
one and tuo’s. Money of this class is
in great demand iu the south and
southwest, especially, and while tho
treasury is doing its utmost to accom¬
modate all who ask for small money it
cannot always supply all orders as
promptly ns desired. Preference is
given to orders when gold is deposited
for small notes, as it is tho policy of
the treasury to build up its gold For re¬
serve by all legitimate means.
the past six weeks the amount of money
sent to tho trensury for redemption has
been unusually heavy,averaging $750,
000 a day since September first.
For the Atlanta Exposition.
Tlio geological elu vej has started
out a corps of photographers to secure
among tlic southern hills and moun¬
tains, and views of the mineral dis¬
tricts of Georgia, Norlit Caroliua,
Tennessee and Kentucky preparatory
t« the display it expects, to msko at
the Cotton States and Iternational ex¬
position. It is proposed to havo one
end of the building made into n net¬
work of these photographic transpar¬ would
encies, and heavy glass plates
have to be ready for framing as the
building went up. The corps will
reach Atlanta in three weeks’ time. Jt
will take iu the Cranliury iron dis¬
tricts in North Carolina. Those
around Knoxville, tho scenes about
tho French Broad and Ashevillo and
Chattanooga, beforo going into the
mountains of Northern Georgia.
Tlie Government Taking an Interest.
The government has asked to be
given general supervision of tho exhi¬
bit of the mineral and geological re¬
sources of tho southern states at
tho “Colton States and International
exposition, and the exposition com
nany has gladly granted a request,
which will mean very much, not only
to the exposition, but to each and
every southern stute. This exhibit is
to be made entirely outside of the gov¬
ernment exhibit; and the decision
means that the government will have
tho general supervision of the exhibits
in tlie mining building as well as of
the government exhibit itself. This
request not only shows the great inter¬
est which is being felt by the govern¬
ment officials in tho exposition
movement, but a display so
arranged and handled that it
will afford tho southern states an
opportunity of making a display of
their mineral wealth, which should be
practically impossible, under any oth¬
er circumstances. The force of the
geological survey will practically be
placed in this exposition work and the
government geologists will bend their
energies toward making it the most
thorough and complete exhibit of
southern resources, which has ever
been made—greater, perhaps, than has
ever been believed possible. The prop¬
osition comes from the government
without any solicitation on the part of
the exposition people, and the cost will
be defrayed outside of the exposition
appropriation. It means, in fact, just
that much additional aid from the gov¬
ernment, and it is a very great deal.

According to a correspondent of the
St. Louis A 'rpublio, man originally

the St. Louis weather prophet and all

the univerao now, and that all the mo
lions of the planetry bodies aro oon
trolled by that. It is well known that
when two bodies are similarly elextr.

earth. A Marshin, and his wife, too,
perhaps, happened to ho close by, eon
eluded to take a littlo excursion, and
jumping aboard were soon landed safe

well they concluded to colonize it.
