There is only one linen mill in operation in the United States, and it Is making only the coarsest kinds of crash toweling. It has been losing money for many years. Atlanta has sold f 116,000 in bonds bearing four per cent interest at par. This does not indicate that the city is to be fenced in because the liquor traffic is fenced out. During the year 1886 the number of Germans who emigrated to the United States was 84.680; to Canada, 692; to Brazil, 1,000; to the Argentine Republican, 726; to Chili, 682; to Africa, 294.

Among other changes proposed in Congress Is one substituting the 14th of April for inauguration day in place cf the 4th of March. It is held that the latter day, which was selected by the continental Congress for the installation of the new government, now causes public inconvenience by curtailing and limiting the second session «f every Congress. The first president was Inaugurated on the 13th of April and it is proposed that the 100th anniversary of the inauguration of George Washington be commemorated by the inauguration of his successor in 1889 upon the same day, and that this shall be the day hereafter for the beginning of successive administrations. The President continues to dine Congress in sections. Last evening 41 Senators were invited. They were seated at table In the alternate order of democrat and republican. The State parlors were brilliantly lighted, but there were no flowers, no music, and no women. Washington Letter. From onr regular correspondent: The custom of junketing funeral excursions whenever a Senator or Representative happens to die is one against which public sentiment has long manifested Itself. Yet the junketing goes on. It is estimated that the expense of transporting the remains of Senator Miller to California by special train and sending with ft a Congressional committee, which will return in the same, will be 820,000. The expense of the funeral train and committee that have gone with the deceased. Representative Hahn to New Orleans, will cost at least half that amount. One member of Congress has had the courage to declare himself against this senseless way of spending the people's money. It was Mr. Gates, a one armed democrat from Alabama. He offered a resolution to amend the House rules so as to prohibit the appointment of funeral committees to accompany the dead bodies of members beyond the limits of Washington City. If it should be adopted, then the proposed plan < f confining the delivery of eulogies over deceased members to special Sunday sessions would be next in order. It is car- THE WOOL MARKET. Justice, Bateraan .v.- Co.'s wool circular of recent date says: There is no new features to report in the wool market, and trade continues dull. The Increased Interest on the part of buyers noticed about the first of the month did not develop as it promised to do, and tbe demand has been extremely light. Salrs could be made by concession in price, but with a few exceptions, holders prefer to wait until the wool is wanted, feeling confident that manufacturers will be forced to buy if their mills continue to run. The uncertainty as to the probable action of the mill operatives in regaid to hours of labor and rates of wages, undoubtedly acts as a check upon many manufacturers who prefer to await the settlement of these questions before buying, except for immediate requirements. Many mills are now idle, owing to the demands of the operatives for higher wages. Low wools are the grades most sought for and show the least decline from the highest point reached. Fine fleeces are dull. ' Territorial wools are in light supply, and in moderate request. j The Kansas Ciiy Inter State fair will be held Sept. 13 to 18. Ed. H. Webster, secretary, Kansas City.
