Ho is no doubt fearful that if that sort of thing Is onco b tar ted, somo ono may suggest to him tho propriety of return ing thoso spoons.

WASHINGTON LETTER Prom our Regular Correspondent, Yasuinoton. D. 0.. Juno 27th, 1887. Queen Victoria's Jubilee, was eolo bratcd to somo extent, even in this the Capitol of tho greatest of Republics : President Cloveland sent a congratula tory cablegram, Mr. West, tho British Minister gave a great dinner, to which many distinguished guests Bat down, and a "Victoria Memorial Room" was dedicated at tho Garfield Hospital. with appropriate ceremonies, by tho Society of St. George. The "Star Spauglcd Banner" and "God Savo tho Queen" being sung in honor of tho ijueens Jubilee Speaking of tho Queen, lominds mo of the return of our own lovely, youth ful, yet crownlcss queen, Mrs. Cleve land who, for a timo, holds undisputed sway in tbo hoarts of tho American people, simply as tho peoplo's own daughter, who has becomo the first ".Lady of tho Land. From her iir proved appearance, and bright ohoer- ful manner and conversation far more so than usual it seems Mrs. Cleveland has immensely enjoyed tho brief res pite from tho duties imposed on her at tho White House. In fact sho takes the public into her confidence, and in forms thom of the plans of tho Presi dent and herself for tho remainder of the summer. She says that she will probably bo ablo to visit somo Michi gan friends when the President goes to St. Louis, after which they will both extend tho trip to Kansas City, Chi cago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Grand Rap ids and perhaps other Western Cities. Tho printers of Washington are ex ercised because the Commissioners, act ing under tbo law which authorizes them to let it it the lowest bidder, nave given the District printing con tract to a Philadelphia firm. The Printer's Union have taken iy the mat ter and there is a prospect of much indignation, as it will 'take 810,000 out, ot tno Hands ot fnnters hero, and throw a number of them out of employ ment ; at least 50 per cent was saved on tno oontract. A special officer of tho Ponsion Bureau arrested in Go., tho other dav several porsons, who in collusion with an old blind soldier, swindled the Gov ernment out of 13,000 in pension money. Such frauds aro always vaiD, because the Government invariable overhauls tho offenders and inflicts pumshmant commensurate with tho enormity of tho crime. It is better to swindle one's own neighbors than your vigilant and relentless Uncle Sam, who never forgives nor forgets offenses. In tho third story of the Patent Office, tbo model cases havo been re moved to the Southern corridor, to mako Bpaco for twelve new rooms, which aro now being erected, to re lievo tho crowded rooms in other por tions of tho building. Of all tho Gov. ernment Departments, perhaps tho different Bureaus of tho Interior De partment show the largest, healthiest, and most constant growth. It is ono of the most important and extensivo of tno Departments, really more so than any other, if wo oxcept tho Treasury. The belief that Seorotarv Lamar will bo appointed to tho Supremo Court vacancy early next fall is firmly impressed on the pnblio mind and tho secretary s successors being discussed Assistant Secretary Muldrow and Com mUsioner of Pensions Black, among uio iiumoer. To givo you an idea of tho strict di scipline of tho Washington police. I will mention that ono of the foroo has boen dismissed frotn.office for plucking a magnolia blossom from the Capitol grounds. This looks hard, but it is just for these guardiaus of tho city havo no gut, in iu? Biumiesi, particular, to oc troy the trust reposod in thom. Within tho past week so many promi nent Democratic Statesmon havo ar rived in this city that thoro aro thoso who think an important conference on party policy is pondiug and that it win do followed by good results, all of which I hopo is really true. Tho fact that S'rorotary Fairchild ordered by telegraph the prepayment of the Jtilv interest on bonds, amount ing to about SO.000,000, caused some alarm in nnancial circles, when consid ered with reference to recent monetary disasters in Now York. Cincinnati and Chicago, but tho Secrotary explains his Hction by saying that it was not duo to any appreuension about tho financial nimiuiuii , mo nut-rest ueing uuo jury 1st, and tho checks made out, tl.o Do partmont was put to no inconvenience ana tho eitect, ho bclioved, would bo roassuring. Watches Taxable This Year. The tax on watches, pleasuro carri nges aud furnituro is, after all, to be collected this year. Tho legislature at recent, session repealed tho law which imposed this tax and the attor ney general a short time ago gavo an opinion that it was not collectable this yiar, although assessed. Tho state board of revenuo commissioners which consists of tho stato treasurer, auditor jjfiirral and F-coretary of the common wealth, has just decided that tho ro pral law is still operative, and thnt the new net will not go into effect until next year. If their pomtion is tenable it h paid tno state will receive about SJ20.000 this year, which it was sup posed would bo kept in tho pockets of tho taxpayer?. The decision is tho ro ult of a question propounded by the board of revision of Philadelphia. , links Oouuly Oiookotlness. For somo lime past allegations havo been mado charging tho commissioners and treasurer of Harks county with official dishonesty, and tho matter was recently brought boforo tho grand Iury. Tho following dispatoh from leading, dated Juno 28 gives tho present situation : Tho people ot liorks county and tho ataio will bo surprised to-morrow morn ing to learn that tho bottom has about dropped out of the grand jury investi gation which has been in progress hero tho past fow days. Unless positivo ovldenco showing criminality on tho part of tho Couuty-Couimisaioners aud Treasurer is adduced to-morrow tho jury will proparo a report merely so vorely censuring theso officials for their looso conduct of too hnanoial all airs ot tho county. Thus far tbo only testi mony of weight against tho commiss ioners is to the cllcot that John T, Wagnor, ono of tho board, did a por tion of tho oontract work on tho Berno villo bridge. As yot tho grand jury has reached no conclusion in this coso. Contractor William Call, accompan ied by an engineer from Kendall Bros.' otiioo, wont to licruovillo this attoruoon to moasuro tho bridgo and estimate its cost at fair hgures. Air. Call testihed to-day that the stonework on tho bridge could bo dono for $2,800. The commissioners aro said to nave paid 8,000. Regarding tho chargo that County Treasurer Holtzman received a com mission from the Keystone Nntionil Bank for tho deposit of county funds with that institution, Cashier Hall was called and domed tho truth of tho stato mcnt under oath. U. Willis Bland, who furnished tho information, asked to bo excused from testifying, as ho is counsel for Goo. W. Kershoer, one of tho indicted tax collectors. J. How ard Jacobs, a director of tho bank in question, from whom Mr. Bland claim ed to havo recoived his information, was subpoenaed, but did not appear. Ho is ono of Treasurer Holtzman's bondsmen. Charles V. Dauth, another of tho in dicted collectors, to-day entered bail in $1,000 for trial. Sinco tho exposure of the collectors, over $18,500 of tho $40,000 withhold has boen turned into the treasury. Tho members ot tbo graud jury, who havo been sitting at an expense to tho county of ovor $150 a day, and at great personal inconvenience, are much disheartoncd at tho result of their in quiry. Thoy have examined a largo number of witnesses presumed to be familar with tbo Courthouse ring and supposed to havo a knowledge of alleged crookod transactions, but with singular unanimity they have all, nnder oath, plead ignoianoo. The grand jury will therefore, to morrow, make a last desperato effort to fathom tho alleged corruption in the Commissioners' Office and, in case of failure, will adjourn Bine die. It is not at nil probable, how- over, that the matter will bo permitted to rest here. The Evening Telegram, Democrat, and Morning Herald, Inde pendent, both of which havo been fear less in demanding the present inquiry, will agitato another. There is a prop osition to start an anti-corruption fund with which to employ a Pinkerton agent and a competent attorney to ferret out the alleged official crooked ness. Two Spring Township citizens ottered to bead the list with $100 each, and the next grand jury may have even moro work to do than tho present ono. The Soldiers' Bebuke. The annual reunion of the Army of the Potomao was held last week at Saratoga, and tho gallant veterans of ono of the most heroio armies that ever entered battle, gavo a stinging rebuke to tho blatant political dema gogues who aro ever struggling to in- voivo the Grand Army of tho Repub lic in tbo mire ot partisan politics. Tho rebuke was given with such em phasis that none can misunderstand it; and the petty demagogues who rave in blasphemous utterances to inflame for gotten sectional hate, would do well to understand the admonition. Thero were a few soldiers of the Fairchild, Tuttle and Foraker type at tho reunion of the Army of the Po tomac, and thoy in turn offered resolu tions censuring tho proposed return of tho battle flags, but tho soldiers who did the fighting when fighting was to bo done in the flame of battle, con signed all such resolutions to the table, and thereby stamped their seal of con demnation upon all agitators for the renewal of sectional Btrife. But tho Array of the Potomao was not oontent to express its condemna tion of the party demagogues who are struggling to dishonor tho heroes of war after more than a score of years of peace. In order to put at rest at onoe and forever the issue of sectional halo that is yet agitated by fools and knavos, tho survivors of tho Array of tho Potomao unanimously resolved to hold their next annual reunion at Get tysburg on tho 1st, 2d and 3d of July, 1888, and extended a cordial invitation to tho survivors of tho Army of North ern Virginia to moot with them as their guests. The gallant Philadelphia Brigade that withstood tho chief shook of Pickett's desperate charge on Cemo tery Hill, sot tho patriotio example this year by inviting the survivors of Pickett's Division to meet thom as guests on tho coming 3d of July, tho tweuty-fourth anniversary of that bloody conflict) and now the Army of tho Potomao at onco nationalizes tho rounion of tho veterans of the bluo and tho gray, to palsy tho tongues of demagogic babblers. Iluncoforth tho soldiers of tho two groat armlos will do their own work in thoir own way to banish tho last ves tigo of sectional hate, and thoy will ox ohaogo their trophie of victory with out heeding tho jarring howls of tho disturbers who would make discord eternal. Thoy obey tho last order of their Great Captain "Let us havo peaco 1" Times, Oil Tor Fuel- TUB IIKCKNT KXl'ERlMKNT ON THE I'ENK BYLVAMA. The successful running of a train from Altoona to Pittsburg on tho Pennsylvania road, a distance of 117 miles, with oil for fuel, has led to con siderable discussion on tho subject. Ono of tho principal objections to the use of petroleum has been its cost, and it would bo used moro generadv if it could bo bought as ohoaply as coal. There have been developed of late in Ohio largo beds of petroleum, which is very difficult to refine, and of a verv disagreoablo odor. This trouble has led to a largo reduotion in tho nrioo of It, ami consequently tho practicability of using it as a substitute for coul has bron shown. Tho question now arises whothor, it being found that this de posit of oil can bo used, the prico will not bo put up and thus kill tho sale of iu Aa far as running a looomotiyo with i oil as a fuel is concerned, it is by no moans a now thing. On lllu Long Island Railroad nn engine was run for some timo as an experiment, and it was very successful. Thoro aro a number of ways of using tho oil. Tho most ap proved way seems to bo n French method of spraying tho oil into tho fire box of tho Iocomotivo under n high ressuro by means of compressed olr. in this method complolo compilation of tho oil is atsured, ond no smoko is raado. Another, and tho most general way is to mix tho oil with superheated steam and burn both togothor. This gives a steady heat, but not completo combustion in every case. Tho first named method would of necessity call for a rather largo air compressor, wbioh would vory likoly bo in tho way, as everything has to be as compact as possible on tho locomotive. Tho Pennsylvania Road has boon busy making experiments with a view to using petroleum as a fuel, au I if theso arc fully successful thuro is litllo doubt that it will bo adopted generally. That pctroloum has not been used moro generally for making steam is duo only to tho oxpenso. Whether tho opening of the Ohio Geld will alter this stato uf affairs remains to bo soon. Thero is no question about tho great gain raado by tno use of potroloum. It is a groat deal less troublo and much moro com pact. Less room will bo required for its storage, and tho handling of it much simpler. Where a largo number of men aro now employed ns firemen, ono man oould do tho work easily. Tho only thing to bo dono by a fireman would be to sco that tho flow of oil was kept regular. Ashes would bo done away with, and everything would bo much moro convenient. A prominent New York onginecr said : "Tho wholo thing Is a question of cost. Under tho most f avorablo cir cumstances, that is, when tho boilers aro kept dean, the coal properly hand led, the best judgment used in burn ing, ono pound of coal will ovaporato eight pounds of water. Now tho ques tion to be considered is whether the cost of that pound of coal invested in petroleum would ovaporato ns much water. If so, thero would bo no ques tion about its use. Tho uso of petro leum by tho clovatod roads of New York city would bo a great improve ment. All smoke and cinders would disappear, and with them a groat deal of inoonvenienco to the people of tho city. What a boon it would bo if tho elevated railroad engines could be run without theso drawbacks. Tho question of cost ought not to be taken into con sideration at all so far as theso roads aro concerned, and now that tho Ponn sylvania Railroad has succeeded, they ought to experiment at once upon this method of making steam. I am vory muoli in hopo that a new system of electrio motor, which is being run, and successfully too, will soon bo used as a means of propulsion. This would bo an improvement over either coal or oil.'' The Soldiers and the People are Beady. From the New York Herald. Here is exactly a caso in point. A regiment of southern soldiers was yes terday tho guest of a Massachusetts regiment. Sido by side they assisted in the Bunker Hill celebration. That is a sign of the times. Tho men who were opposed to eaoh other in tho war have shaken hands and so sworn anew their allegiance to the "red, whito and blue." Now, then, suppose tho Bay Stato regiment should accompany the south ern soldiers on their way home as far as Washington. And suppose, further if it were legally in their power to do so, that tho occasion should bo crown ed by giving to tho confederate veter ans a flag which tho Yankees had cap tured from tbem on tho hard fought field of battle, in token of tho good will that prevails throughout the country. Well, such an act would bo regard ed as the most impressive and signifi cant thing that had happened sinco 18C5. It would bo the fulfilment of General Grant's prophecy. It would symbolize tho magnanimity of tho victor and tho loyalty of the South in a way to bo rehearsed by the orator and sung by tho poet of tho future. Everybody would regard it as a national omen of lasting peace tho last solemn burial service over tho dead post. This is just what President Cloveland suggested. No more, no less. The sur vivors of the great volunteer army tho first to fight, tho first to forgiva are as a body ready for that grand con summation. Only a few political aspirants would objeot. Thoir occupation would bo gone. They could no longer hurl thoir three kinds of palsies or mako capital out of the blpody shirt. But this country is not run in their interest. It is run in tho interest of tho people. Kalakaua's Grown in Dingur. San Francisco. Cal.. .Tnnn 97 A letter receivod from tlio Mexican Min ister at Honolulu by General Salomon to-day says tho outlook on the Sand wich Islands is vory serious, and that reports of bloodshed may bo expected by the noxt steamer. Ho says a revo lution is in progress and tho overthrow of Kalakaua a certainty. Tho United Slates man-of-war Ad ams, whioh left Callao for this port May 10, by way of tho Sandwich Is lands, has been ordered to remain thero until further oulers. Seven officers and eleven seamen were ordered from Mare Island on Saturday's steamer to augment her orow, and it is oxpeoied that fifty moro men will bo ordered forward. Twenty French Beamen havo boen ordored henco to tho Islands by to-day's steamer for tho French man-of-war at Honolulu. An English man-of-war at Victoria has boon ordered to proceed to Honolulu, and it is re ported that a lovenuo cutter has been dispatched to Sitka with instructions for an American man-of-war there to proceed to tho Island. McKinley, tho Hawaiian Consul here, said to the World correspondent that hu had sent a report to his Gov ernment by to day's stoamer, confirm ing tho reported largo shipments of arras, and that ho considered it a "bluff" to seouro concessions demandod from tho King. Ex-Consul Sovoranco, long a resident on tho Uland, says the Germans and Chines aro at tho bottom of tho trou bles. lie believes a largo quantity of arms havo been sent on orders of the Chinese, who will wage a war of ex termination with tho Hawaiiaue, during which Europeans will get control. Ah Fong, tho millionaire Chinese operator, is fostering tho insurrection. Sovoranco savs the entiro available foreo of tho King will not exceed 300 and that 100 white mo.n could over throw tho Government, ltuvetmo and customs nfllnlals fire kriiilnr u-nlnli fur a schooner said to bo equipping iu this city to carry ouu men witu urms and ammunition to capture tho island. John D. Spreckels denies that his father, Claus Spreckels, has nny oon nuctioii with tho disturbance. Hiircck ol's firm havo not shipped nny arms to tho Island but Grossman & Brothers, of New York, it is said, havo sent this month soven cases of guns, ten oases of cartridges, ono caso of rules and cartridges and a caso ot revolvers. This shipment was consigned to E. O. Hall & Son, ono of tho missionary firms in Honolulu, which is making largo importations direct from San 1' rnncisco. Mrs. Logan's Anxiety. Bill!

Mrs. General Logan arrived nt Chic ago Juno 28, to consult with tho build ing committeo having m ciurgo the se lection of a design and tho erection of a monument in Jackson Park, whero thf. remains of her husband will finally bo laid to rest. Sho is quito anxious to havo tho work pushed forward as rap. ally as possible, as sho lceis much dis turbed at tho attitudo of Dr. Buck, tho rector of Rock Creek church, Wash ington, in a vault iu tho yard of which tho General's body is now lying. Re ferring to this subjoct Mrs. Logan said: "Tho casket is in tho vestibule of a private vault which Airs. E. H. Hutch inson ollcrod mo. There aro catacombs off the passage, but tho undertaker as sured mo that tho best placo would bo in tliu vestibule. Of course, that makes a military guard necessary, for I should feel very uneasy if I depended solely on tho grating lor protection, it Mr. Lincoln's body Was stolon under tho shadow of his monument twenty years after his death, and right in his own state, what could bo expected in tno case of General Logan t The vault is near Baltimore, whero thero aro scores of men who would stop at nothing to steal tho body for tho sake of a re ward. I understand," continued Mrs. Logan, "that the real occasion for Dr. Buck's conduct is that ono night as he was returning homo lata from a Biok call ho passed through tho church-yard aud was challenged by tho sentry, and that angered him. As I understand, his sympathies during tho war weie all with tho South, but ho assures me that bo will not mako any change without notiiymg rau in Bumciom time, ana tno Secretary of War and Geueral Sheri dan will not remove the guard until tho body is removed. I should not like to havo tho General moved any moro than the once, but if Dr. Buck makes any moro troublo I shall rcmovo tho General and keep him in my own house until his final resting place is ready. Then, again, I am anxious to have tho tomb completed, that Illinois may havo her son. Ho belongs hero. I regard this as my state, wherever elso I may happen to reside for the time, no bo longs to Illinois and I will livo whero ho is buried." Mrs. Logan will remain at Chicago for several days and hopes before Bhe leaves to do much towards hastening tho work on her husban'ds tomb, which has already been too long do layed. News Items. Thero is a rumor afloat that the con demned anarchists at Chicago are to bo granted a new trial. The fund for tho celebration of the Fourth of July in Philadelphia grows larger every day. $10,000 is needed. Whilo an artesian well was being dug near Fort Worth, Texas, oil was struck last Friday at a depth of 240 feet.

At Kauffman's quarry, near Colum bia, last week 3,000 yards of stone was displaced at one blast with 300 pounds of dynamite. Tho whereabouts of McCabe, tho Honesdalo murderer, who escaped from jail thero a fow weeks ago, is still a matter of wonder. Mrs. Eleanor McConnell, of Paris, Washington county, celebrated tho 100th nnniversary of her birth this week. Sho was born at Uniontown.
