BUIUN , Juno It. The semi-official an-
tiounecmcnt that Chancellor Cnprlvl will no-
company Emperor Wllllnm on a visit to the
c/nr In August converts tlio meeting from nn
exchange of imperial courtesies into a dip-
lomatie event. Prior lo Iho visit Italian
Picmler Crispl will como heio for n confer
ence with Cnprlvl nfter seeing Auslrlan
Picmler Kalnoky. Those moves have a dis
tinct mliitlon to a icnewal of the negotia
tions for n Bclllcmcnt of the Bulgarian ques
tion Russia persists In refusing to iccog-
nlzoPrince Ferdinand , but will recognize
Bulgarian Picmler StambouIofT. The gov-
cinmcnl , after the departure of Feidlnnnd ,
will send n Russian commissioner to offer the
Bulgarian people as nn nltci native candidates
for the th'rono the duke of Lenchlenboig or
Prince Kml , son of Uio king of Sweden
The duke of Lenehlenbcig , having mnrricd n
Montenegrin princess , has less chance of ac
ceptance by tlio European powers. Prince
y' ' Kml Is sure of the English goveinmenl's support -
port After the elecllon of n prince Ihe
SinmboulolT ministry will be dissolved and
loplncod by a StamboulolT-ZnnkolT coalition
M Stambouloff is icady to sacrifice Prince
IVidlnand if his own position boiissmed as
n lesult of thomiiingciiienl. Whatever maybe
bo the issues of the meeting at St. Peters-
bmg they will not Involve n change of icla-

Cnpilvi.
The Gfi man , Russian and English diplo
mats nt Constantinople me to bo icplaccd bj
now men , who will woik together on a moio
friendly footing. The tendency of these
changes is lather favorable to u rc-iowal of
Uio cvai's Influence In the Balkans , but not
nnj thing appro idling his former dominance
Uieic , so Austria may net opt.
Although Uio vote of the coinmtllco on the
nimj bill approves tlie essential featuies of
the measure , its ultim ito fate Is uncertain.
The caitellers nnd centiisls formed Iho ma-
joritj , but Dr. Windlhorst qualified his vote
bj declaring thai It must not bo held as
pio.udicing Ills final decision. JIo said Uial
during the adjoinnmcnt ho would endeavor
lo ascertain Iho feeling of Iho countiy on tlio
subject. At n meeting of ccntiisti Dr.
Windthorsl nnnounced Unit ho had positive
infoimation thai a dissolution of the iclch-
slag bad been icsolved upon In case the mill-
tiny credits wcro not fully conceded. The
Piussian mcmbois of Iho patty thereupon
advised the acceplanco of Iho mililmy bill.
The soulh Geiman members advocated oppo-
Bition lo Iho mcnsmo unless the term of .ad
vice-in the m my bo icduced and expiesscd
readiness to face the thieata of n dlssolullon
vvllh Uio centiists separated unpledged lo
vole as np uty. Tbo government calculate *
that even If n section of the ccntio
pnitv should join the freisiunlgoWolkcipartel-
sochillst coalition the bill would still have n
small majority , but if tlio bulk of Ihe eon-
tiUts should vote ngainst it the mensuio
would bo doomed
The Cologne Gn/ctlo , pi edict Ing n dissolu
tion of Iho icichstiig , uiges Uio goveinment
lo restiict suffiagc. The paper contends that
n moio dissolution will not sufllco to secuio
tlio defeat of tbo opposition , which might 10-
luni stronger than bofoio. It Is significant
lhal Dr Wlndtliorst held out as a reason for
tils assent lo the bill , suggestions Unit vveio
ominous of the couiso the govoi nmcnt might
take Ho sad "If wo i eject the bill wo
bring upon ourselves great dangers. It is
not the dlssolullon that I fear , but 1 diead
what will happen nfteiwaid. "

illeaii , adding that they will not nller Iho
freslnnigo vote. There has been sent to the

The hoslllorepoits to the effect that the
cmpeior is becoming moio and moio enraged
over the lovelatlonsinade by Prince Blsmaick
In Inters lews and that ho Intends to muzzle
the ex chancellor aio laughed over in tlio
prince's cliclo. ' Another idea Unit is dawning
upon the unfriendly critics Is whether the
Blatemenls mndo to the special coi respond

knowledge and conemreneo of Chancellor von
Capiivl Prince Bismmck's studiously un-
btudlcd conferences have ulieady assisted Iho
foreign office to a clearer view of the tenden
cies of foreign opinion and has also helped to
haimonlzoCapilvi's ' relations with several
foreign ministers. It Is now perceived that
his seeming frankness rev cats lltllo nnd can
not cmbaiiass Uio government. Pending

Wurteinburg , Count von FubtIco , piomlerof

cause thoywoio not making enough money.
He seemed to be unable to decide what to do

tluow up the sponge Superinlendenl Porter
ter at once telegraphed him , calling bis atten

the enumerators and advising him that If ho

oflico when the telegiam was received about
10 o'clock last evening. The night force of

iight. After dictating a replv , as above In

The election of Seigeant-at-Aims Valentino
tine has been followed by an eveiw helming
number of applications for positions. Theio
seems to bo nn Impicssion , paiticulaily in
N'cbiaska. that Seigeant-nt-Aims Valentino
[ sn general distributer of positions in the
senate and will bo able to locate a laiga num
ber ot candidates In snug positions. It may
iscll bo stated frankly that theio
iv 111 bo very few changes in
Lho personnel of the scnato force
swing to the change in the sergeant-
it-aims. The appointments aio made nt the
icqucst of senators and pationago is par-
jelled out as equally as possible among tlio
various states. No appointment is made
jnless It is chaigcd to the patronage account
if n senator , and under the rule piovalling
3ach senator is supposed to have only his 'duo
( iioportion of senatorial pationago. It is un
derstood that In making the canvass for Ser-
ijeant-at-Arms Valentino both the Nebiaska
senators gave assuiances to their colleagues
that in case of Mr Valentino's election , No-
iraskawhich had all of her quota of pationago ,
mould not bo favored fminor at the expense
Df other states. This being the case , there is
; iot the slightest chance for nny additional
ippointmcnts from Nebraska on the senate
tables , especially as that state Is nowcicdltcd
ivith a larger number than many of the now er
slates which have more recently been lopio-

AN IMI'OltTlNTSTAll KOI TR IIPFOllM.
A conviction was obtained last \\eok In the
United States com tat Poitlnnd , Mo , which
iv 111 bo of very great Importance to the postal
icrvlco In corn-cling an evil that bids fair to
.lisorgiiilzo Ihostar service of Uio country.
Under the syslcm of compelillvo bidding ,
which penults professional conti at tow to
jompeto with local bidders for star sou Ice it
Happens in n gicat many cases that the mar
gin between the lowest bidder and tlio next
ibovo him was limited to a very few dollars
A.S these professional blddcis are frequently
iwaided some hundreds of loutes , It often
wppens that among them thc-io will
jo a considerable ! number of what
uo termed losing toute.s ; that
s , routes on which the ser-
. Ice must bo poi formed by the contractor at
t loss or where no aub contractor could bo
iblalncd , except for a sum In excess of the
nlca at w tilth thocoulract had been awarded.
Jnderusjstem which had grown up hi the
lepnrtmenl professional contractors would
rall to put the service on these routes and
.hen come In with nn offer of compromlsu for
'actual damages , " that is , the difference bo-
.ween thplr bid and the next lowest hid , plus
ho cost of temporary service pending the
line when they abandoned the route or failed
o put on the service and Iho tlnio when it
vua luhen up bj the bidder next above them.
One of thOhO professional contractors , Mr
IV. A htoddaid , had failed on neatly n hun-
hod of those rout OH , and after a lapse of con-
.Idcrnblo . llino , when tlio set vice had been
irovldul for bj the dcpartmenl , came In w 1th
he usual offer uf compiouuso foi actual dam-
i es This offer was at orice rejected b\ See
md Assistant Postmaster General \\hlt-
leld , as were a laifc number
if others madu about tbu same time
by other falling contractor * . A great deal o ;
unavailing pressure was brought to bear ot
the second assistant , and when It was fount
Impossible to change his determination an ap
peal was taken to Postmaster General Wmm
maker. The latter , however , stood bv hi-
assistant In the decision ho had rcacheei ami
gave him his cordial support In the now de
parture which had boon inaugurated.
In addition to the full sum of the bond
which the statute provides ivs llmilttatod dmn
ages for failure lo peifoim soivieo after ni :
award had been imulo and a eon tract ontercil
Into , the revised statutes J1HSI , as amended
by the act of August 11 , 180. provides an nil-
dltlonal penalty of Hue and imprisonment ,
Colonel vVhltlleld Immedintelv caused pro
ceedings to bo Instituted In the United States
court at Poitlnnd , Mo , against W. A. Stod-
dard , a falling contractor , and ho was con
victed.
The result Is notable and unique from the
fact that , as far na the records of the depart
ment disclose , It Is the llrst coin Ictlon over
had under the cilmlnal statute for falling to
peiform seivlco. Civil action on the bond
will bo Instituted by the government to re
cover liquidated damages , as provided by the
stalute. The Impm lance of the new dejru t-
mo will be seen when ills homo in mind
that in the ease of W A. Stoddurd , against
whom criminal action was brought , the
"actual damages" amount to ubout * ' .iKX ( ) .
while Iho damages provided for In the bom )
will fall little shoi t of $ r > ( > ,000. Mr Stoddaid
failed on nearly a hundred of his loutes. It
should be berne in mind that this failure oc-
emred after award , and when the said Stod-
dard had entered into u contract , duly exe
cuted , with bondsmen whoso sulllclcney Is
corllilcd to by the postmaster at the place
where the bond is executed , and after the
usuul oath had been taken by him to pciform
thoscrvUo in accordance with tl.eteims of
his contract. The competition among piofes-
slonal bidders , and between them and the
local bidders , has become so close as to re
duce the margin of prollt to a very
low llguic. These failures , if per
sisted in. would have utteily demoral
ized and tlnnlly disorganlml the star set v Ice
of the countiy Colonel Whitlleld found ,
almost fiom Iho stait , u disposition on the
part of some of Iho contiacton lo not only
disreg.ud Iho terms of their contracts , but to
execute pioposals and contracts In utter dis-
icgaid of tlio law and regulations Veiy
soon after ho assumed chaigo of the oftlco he
sctiisldo neailv ? ! 0,000 woith of fraudulent
contracts , where It appealed that the name of
contractorssmdies and witnesses were in
ono lniml\\iitlii7 , and wheio n subse
quent investigation developed the fact
that the suiety not only sign
ed the contractOL's name , but actually took
the oath for him , anil subset Ibed to the same.
Tills spiing , when the awaid was made for
Iho contiacls to begin on July 1 , 1MK ) , about
$ . ° i,000 ( ) woith of pioposals weioset aside for
informality in execution similar to the con
ti acts nbovo noted His believed that the
piompt action taken by the United States
com tat PoiUand. and the position of the de
partment In lefuslngcompiomlses , will tend to
break up entlielv the piaciieo of failing
to perfoim seivico in necoidance with
the teims of thecontiact and that the setting
aside of conti acts and proposals Impioneily
cxcculed will icsult in convincing blddeis
and contractors that .in obligation founally
enteied into with the government , under
seal , and executed under the solemnity of an
oath , is not a dead letter , but that it means
something , and Unit Iho depaitment will
liencefoitli insist upon specific peifoimance ,
or apply all the icmedies piovided by the

The next experiment in changing the de
signs of the cuiiency of the United States , or
nither the coinage , w ill piobably lesult in
giving the publlo something morcnitistic
than the postage stamp expenment pioduced.
A bill is pending in the senate , which has al
ready passed the house , to give the sccietaiy
of the treasury and the dnector of the mint
the pow er to change tho. designs of the coinage -
ago of the United Slates w hen in their judg
ment the best inteiesls of the country can bo
seived by the change. The bill will vv Ithout
doubt become a law vvilhin a few weeks ami
after that Iho dhcctorill offer piizes for
the best designs which may bo submitted
liy aitists all over the countiy. It is
thought that the result will bo that
Lho beauty of the coinage of Iho
United States will bo matoihilly enhanced.
11 is certain Ihat there will bo marked changes ,
and it cannot bo expected that Iho designs
ivill bo so Ihoioughly inaitistlo as Ihoso w hlth
nave been icccmly adopted for tlio postage
stamps. In this connection it is Inteiesting
: o note that sometime ago the postoftlco de-
jailmcni auveitised for designs for anew
> oslal card. A gieat many ambllious aitisls
competed for the honor of making the de
vice which might bo accepted by the depait
ment , but It is announced that nil have been
i ejected and that the nillsls of the Inucau
of engraving and Diluting aio now tiying
.heir hands.
When Iho coin contest begins a prize of
$300 will ptobably bo offered for each coin ,
and the contest will no doubt be spliitcd and
open lo all corners.
In this connection It Is interesting to note
.tint ttio supervising architect of the tieasuiv
KH , In his annual lepoit , iclleratcd that out
side m eh i teas bo invited lo submit designs
'or publlo buildings in the Uilfeicnt cities of
the counlry , Mr Windrim believes Unit the
lesult of the adoption of this plan would bo
jenellcial toovorjono concerned. He thinks
that tliosuccessfuluichitectshould bochaiged
with the duty of supci intending the erection
of the building which ho has designed , and
that ho should bo paid for his services to the
jovcrnment Just as ho would bo paid if woik-
ng for u piivato client. Thciocan bo no
loubt Ihat Iho plan would frequenlly icsult
n beller buildings for federal pin poses and
.hat local architects would take piidoln eicct-
ng buildings which would piovo advertise-
nents as well as monuments for them
selves. That the government would bo
.ho gainer fiom u monetary point of view is
equally susceptible of pioof. The govern-
nent contiaclor for Iho postodlco building In
Wichita , ICan , 1ms just ubout completed the
work on that building. The tolal nppropila-
.Ion vv as about * r > 0,000. A few blocks uwny
'rom Iho federal buildingls another strucluro
creeled by a local aichltect for Iho counly.
; t Is almost completed. It has cost only ? 6o-
)00. ) Its design is more aitlsllo than the
'cdoral building. It is bctler sul led for Iho
uses lo which It Is lo bo put , and it is in
every wnv n bolter building Theio is moio
supcillcial aica and Iho people aio naturally
