B. ports of the rlr.t and S.oond A.al.t.nt Bcooinmeud.tlona lot ImproT.in.nt of tb. Borvleo. Wasiiimoton, November 13. Flrt A istant Postmaster-General Frank Jones ha submitted bis annual report to the Postmaster-General.

It Is a review of the work in the department under bis charge for the year ended June 80, 1804, and contains hi recommendation for improvement of tbe service. Mr. Jones recommends legislation to protect the post-marking stamp in use at postofflces, aa the stamp Is now being used for unlawful purposes. He review hi recommendations for legislation to prevent tbe boycotting of postmaster by mailing of letters at place other than the office, which result in reducing the salaries of the postmasters boycotted. He call especial attention to the misuse of the iranmng privilege, lie says: There seems to be some mlsaDDn hension among member of Congress as to tbe scope of the franking privilege, which ha resulted in some postmasters declining to send speeches or other matter presented for mailing.

This department has been called upon to give special instruction in such matter. Instead of tlie name being written or placed on the envelope by the hand-stamp it has been in some instances improperly printed thereon the speeches therein contained have borne advertisement of the printer, which formed no part of tbe congressional record, and therefore are subject to postage as third-class matter. In addition to this some of the packages sent by mail under the frank. of the member have been found after delivery to contain printed matter outside of tlie congressional record and public documents and therefore not frankable under the law above quoted. The literature being sent under seal, the department ia of course unable to detect every violation.

There i no penalty attached to the misuse of the franking privilege hence no action ran be taken by me further than to call the attention of the member to tbe matter. A tins department is required to carry without one cent of revenue hundreds of ton ol franked matter, additional limitation should be placed on the use of tbe frank or a penalty of some kind imposed for its unlawful use, and I respectfully suggest that the attention of Congress be called to thi matter for such action as it should deem proper." Mr. Jones recommends leglslatioL al lowing the suspension without pay, not to exceed ten days, of employes violating the postal rules; also that disabled employes mav be granted leave of absence with continued pay; also some change in the classification of salaries which were heretofore commended. The report gives details of the different divisions of the nrst AssiBtanrs oince. xt Ih.t there are 140 first-class offices, 406 second class and 2,587 third-class.

The aggregate salaries of these was $5,709,700 and the aggregate receipt 168,658,024. The following estimate are made for salariea of postmaster, clerks, etc, for the next year: j.A.nn...lAn HA.tmUtH S16.60O.00Q L'loik.

The decrease of receipt was $816,434, and the increase of expenditure was $3,250,409. The total expenditure for 1 804 are i84.244.414 and receiDte 470.

Ever since the adoption of the electrical execution act by the State the Westinghouse people, whose dvnamoa are used, have declared elec tricity was not the cause of death, but that death was assurea Dy tne noiaing of an autopsy directly after the body had been taken from the electrical chair. No less an authority than Nicola Testa, the famous electrician, contended he could bring back to life a man killed in an electrical chair, provided the attempt was made immediately after the execution. George Westinghouse has alway asserted that electrical aeatn was a snam. and that a New York commission, headed by E. T.

Gerry, had added the autopsy clause to the law to make it certain that the man was dead. Within the last lew weeks the aititation of the subject hat become prominent, and an appeal is to be made to the Governor to allow the next man condemned to be used as ubiect to be experimented on. The Governor says he will grant permission to do this. If successful, the experi ment will bring to life a new man, who cannot be executed, havinponce suffered the penalty of death. It will also prove tlie the State executioners have been the surgeons who have held the autopsy rather than the electrician.

HE CATTLE EMBARGO President Cleveland Has Au thority to Retaliate. THE LAW IS LAID BEFORE HIM It Is Qnosalon Whether This Will ho Mecewary, for tho OovoramonS of Germany Ha. ModlOed Its Order aad A.anmed a Liberal Attitude. Washisotoh, November 9. The an nouncement that the German authori ties may conclude to determine the possibilities of the introduction of Texas fever into the Empire from expert opinion of American veterinarian wa re- ceived with great interest by Secretary Morton, whose advocacy of retaliation by requiring a strict inspection of German wine and liquor has been told in these dispatches, me secretary nas investigated the question, and finds that authority to entirely exclude German products in retaliation for discrimination of our goods is vested in the President by existing laws, all of which haa been heretofore overlooked in the discussion of the question.

Secretary Morton bad a conference with the President, and laid the law before him. It is in the United States Statutes at large, volume 26, Fifty-first Congress, page 414, chapter 839: "An act providing for an inspection 01 meats lor exportation ami prohibiting the importation of adulterated articles of food or drink, and authorizing the President to make a proclamation in certain case and for other purposes." Section 4, to which the Sec retary called tne attention 01 ooiu tuo United States authorities and tbe German Empire, reads: "That whenever the President is sat isfied there is good reason to believe any importation ia being made, or is about to be made, into the United State from any foreign country of any article used for human food or drink that ia adulterated, he (the President) may issue hi proclamation suspending the importation of such articles from such country for such period of time aa he may think necessary." The Secretary believe this law is the key to the situation furnishing this government with full power to retaliate upon Germany for the exclusion of our cattle either by the policy which he suggested, of requiring a strict inspection of their wines, or by stronger measures. At the State Denartment the attitude of the German government respecting our cat tle ia regarded as the natural and proper outcome of tbe strong representation made by Minister Rnnyon. The negoti-. 1 1 i ations nao reacnea a point wuere eavu government was content to rest its case upon the questions of fact; first, wheth-ar nr not there were oenoine cases of Texas fever among tbe cattle imported into Germany Irom tbe united fctates, and second, whether or not the disease can be communicated to German cattle.

If, as stated in the srtispatch, the Germans have so far receded from their first position, justifying the absolute exclusion of American cattle without reason able proof upon these important points, then the State Department officials feel that our cattle shippers nave nine to four that the Gorman rovernment has assumed a very liberal attitude, and one which is likely to speedily result in the removal oi tbe em bargo. FROM THA! MB BAST. Hows of tho Two War Powers BroagU by Steamer. 8 ah Fbamcisco, November 9. The steamer Beigic brought new from the Orient under date of Tokio, October 20, as follow: The Corean peninsula baa now been cleared of Chinese troops from end to end.

Corea was one of the last vestige of the middle kingdom's medieval majesty one of the last of the little border Ktates that acted as ouners oetween uie big Empire and the outer barbarians independent toward all the alien world, dependent toward the Celestial Empire alone. That wa the anomalous status of these buffers. One after another they have been shaken free by the impact ol Western araression. Burmah, Siam. Tonquin, Ahnam, the Pamir region-r-all have fallen away, leaving tne nanx 01 the middle kingdom exposed to the kicks of the profane Occident.

Corea alone re mained. To her relations with Uorea China could not choose but import some element of realism, for beyond the bor ders of the peninsula Russia stood always ready to advance, xnereiore tne remiig statesman openly called Corea a de pendency, and Europe Deneved tnas they had both the will and the ability to protect it. But two battle have sufficed to drive the last of the bannermen acrosa tha Yaln river and to nlace a Japanese army on the borders of Manchuria. Ja- San by a very striking object lesson haa emonstrated the justice of her conten- riL; tion that, so lar as concerned vmueuo tntelsee. Corea' security against for eign Invasion was a myth.

Ujina is a port distant nve mues irom Hiroshima, a town on the inland sea, where the Emperor of Japan as commander-in-chief of the military and naval forces has established his headquarter. Hiroshima was chosen for the purpose because it is the most southerly point to which the main trunk railway of Japan has been pushed. Troops and tores from everv part of the Empire reach it by rail. The harbor of Ujina is capable of accommodating fiftyor aixty large steamers, ana oetween ujina ana Hiroshima a military railway has been built. October 18 the last steamer of great flotilla of Japanese i transports steamed out of Ujina.

They carried a corps d'armee aggregating 22,000 corn- Da tan ta Wltn ail llieir equipment, military train, artillery, etc. The flotilla, heading to the northwest, steered for the entrance of the Pe Chi Li Gull to attack simultaneously Fort Arthur and Wei Hai Wei. Port Arthur and Wei Hal Wei are China's only fortified harbors in the northern part of her Empire. Their works of defense were planned by German engineers, and they enjoy the reputation of being impregnable. Port Arthur has docks capable of receiving big ironclads, and is an important naval depot.

The Japanese troop will attack both place from the land side, and it may be predicted that they will take them. In that case the Gulf of Pe Chi Li and therefore the maritime approaches to Peking will be completely commanded by Japan..
