VTahminwton, October Wtk. — Tlie execu tive order of the President, giving notice that he will hereafter dicline to see all per sons seeking official appointments, or their advocates, and limiting to certain hours on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays the time when he will * grant interviews on other publjc matters, docs not mean that appointments are to be lessened, but is in tended to direct those who desire personal interviews with the appointing power to the proper heads of Departments, whose recommendation.-* guide the President in his appointments. These recommenda tions, it is said, have in the past been in variably observed, and the interviews with applicants and their friends have consumed almost the entire time of the President, and been of no use to him or them. The Vacancies in the Civil Service Com mission. Washikoton, October 30th. — The Star to-night says : It is probable, in the reor ganization of the Civil Service Commission, the chief place will be given to Judge May nard, the present Second Comptroller of , the Treasury. It is said at the White House that the vacancies on the Civil Service Commission will not be filled until after the President's return from Buffalo, on Wednesday or Thursday next, and that no ! appointments as Commissioners have yet been determined upon. Second Com ptrol- I ler Maynard says no place on the Commis sion has been offered him, and he has no aspirations whatever in that direction. Operations of the Labor liureuu. Washington, October 30th.— In his first annual report to the Secretary of the Inte rior, upon operations of the "Labor Bureau ; since its establishment. Commissioner Car roll D. Wright begins with a statement of the organization ot the Bureau and a re view of the line of policy outlined fur the conduct of ita investigations. The principn.l ' features of that policy were the refusal to ! rerosinize parties; that the Bureau should be disconnected with politics, and from a ! dependence on organizations, whether of i workinginen or of employes, and from the ! support of economic theories, individual i views or class interest. The Commissioner believe this policy has generally been ap proved throughout the country. Tie in vestigations outlined related to questions of industrial depression, involving a study of their character, their causes, and whether, M to duration, seventy and peri odicity, they are all alike in the great producing countries. Bach an in vestigation included the question of the influence of depressions on the cost of liv ing, the extent to which the industries arc involved, the cost of production, as inilii- , enced by the use of machinery, and other | kinds of questions. Between March 17th ami June 30th twenty special agents were appointed, and at the close of the fiscal year. fifteen of these agents were actively em ployed in the United States and five in Europe, collecting the information re quired. The results of the investigations will be embodied in the rir?t annual report of ihe bureau, which will be submitted early in the coming year. The appropria tion for the expenses of the bureau for the I year ended June 30, Iss. r >, were ample for its expenses, and nearly $f>,ooo were c >v ered^ into the treasury. In conclusion, the Commissioner says* the appropriation tor the present fiscal year will, in his judg- I nu-nr. suffice for the first full year's work j of the Bureau. The Yellowstone National Park. WABHnroTOK, October 30th.— The Secre tnry of the Interior lias received the report of Superintendent Wear, of tin- Yellow stone National Park, upon his conduct of affairs since taking charge of the park in! July last. He Bays lie found a lack of ;lis- '. cipline among the employes, and that hunt- i ers were killing game. These things have' been remedied, mi.l tho park is now full of game of all kinds, including about 2(<v bison, large numbers of elk and several bands of antelope. About sixteen miles of good road to the leading attractions has been built. The Superintendent Siivs the hotel accommodations .are not what they should be for the prices charged, and he recommends that some one be authorized to see that there is something like an equivalent given the patrons. The police .-iti'airs also need regulating, and the estab lishment of a special Court to try park CBSes is recommended. He asks an appro priation of 1150,000 for next year. Illegal Transactions. WasHIKSTOH, October 30th.— The Second Comptroller of the Treasury, in consider ing the accounts of Pay Director Oilman, has -decided that the payment of f 1 .744 to Austin P. Brown, on' May 27, 1.5.54, tor eighty barrels of pork, delivered to the Bureau of Provisions and clothing of the Navy Department, under a contract, is illegal, and adds that Oilman is responsible lor tiiix sum. He holds that the additional sum of $4,011, being the 20 per cent, reser vation, subsequently paid on the contract, was also illegal, but us the chief of the bureau directed this payment the amount must be charge* against him. In the opin ion of the Second Comptroller, the circum stances attending these attractions :ire sus ceptible of no other interpretation than that they were intended as a device to aid in tho perversion of the law requiring a contract to be let to the lowest bidder.

The American Farm In Corea. Washington, October .{Oth. — Ensign J. C.

Under the above beading the San Fran cisco I>o*t of October 30th has the follow imr: Then- comes from Tehania county, by way ol the local papers, the following story: At the last session of the Board of Supervisors of Tehama county. Creed .lavmond made some interesting state ments in regard to the disposition of Sen ator Stanford's property in that county He declared that all the Senator's lands in lehania county, and especially the vine yard, will ho divided into 40-acre tracts and rented the proceeds going to theuniversih and schools at Palo Alto. When the Vina ranch and vineyard are donateil to the btate, which will be in December, forty feet on the northern line of the ranch will be deeded to the county of Tehama for a road. Mr. Haymond said also that the twenty-five Trustees who are to have charge of the property of the university will be selected and installed in office by March 8, 1880. ' Stanford's mimtrtxt cuts. Though not quite a correct report «.•;" what did take place ;it that meeting, the above contains this much of truth : Creed !:;:>•- Dtond did appear and suggest that the run ning of a road through the best [.art of the Vina vineyard would injuriously atlr-ct property soon to be deeded in trust for Stanford's great educational endowment,. and he also suggested that, as the Trustees who would soon be appointed might have some plans for subdividing the grant, it would be only proper to consult with them about the road-building or any changes af fecting the property of the trust. To all inquirers Senator Stanford uniformly re plies that lie is not yet ready to make his plans public, but the Post feels certain that next month, or by December at the latest, there will be put on record the first portion of the most magnificent act of self-abnega tion the world has ever witnessed. Survey ors and engineers are busy preparing the boundaries and descriptions of three mag nificent estates to incorporate with the deed of grant to the Trustees of the Kreat Palo Alto educational institution. A PRINCELY DOMAIN. Senator Stanford has determined to Bet apart for the perpetual use of the Palo Alto I niversity the Vina ranch, the Qridley ranch and the Palo Alto ranch. Tin- Vina ranch is the largest of the three, and con sists ot about 53,000 acres of the choicest arable laud in the northern pait of the State. More than 3,000 acres are planted in the choicest varieties of vines, and more are being planted. There are thousands of acres of alfalfa land so choice that live and six crops can he cut each season. The land is supplied witii water from an irrigating ditch some 54 miles in length, and the buildings are all of the most substantial character. The Gridley ranch contains about 25,000 acres of fine land, much of it nneqnaled for wheat and alfalfa. The Palo Ah. i ranch contains more than 7,000 acres, and tin- quality of the land can bo estimated from the fact that a considerable part of it was purchased by Senator Stanford at a cost of from $400 to $50<i per acre. The bare land in the Vina ranch is worth close on $1,000,000, and the three ranches togeth er represent a value of about s3,soo,ooo, v.:.-.' are constantly improving. A liKAN'I) SCHEME. It is plain that Senator Stanford's plans do not st.ip at the erection and endowment of an ordinary college, and their scope and breadth eiin partially be gathered from the "Endowment Act' 1 which wa.i passed at the last session of the Legislature. This would seem to look towards the establish ment of an institution which will rob all other colleges of their ablest professors, and will rank California first in the world v-< the home of art, science and learning. During his life Senator Stanford will not only give all his wealth, except a fair pro vision for his relatives, to this and other works of ji benevolent character, but will give his own valuable time. He will be an active, vigorous trustee himself, ami will, if he live;*, see his own estate a Iministerra intrust for the people of California. His magnificent .scheme awakens almost Uto pian visions for the future of thi. State and her people, and the mind becomes dazzled at the Contemplation of the vast good that will he done. Through all, Sen ator Stanford's chief aim is toenabli t:.< future generations of the State which lias so lavishly endowed him with t!::- material things of life to earn their own living by their own efforts. His aim is to furnish that instruction which is the most service able in lighting the bairlr of life. He de plores the- state of dependence in which so many men live and he seeks to furnish opportunities for those who will live aftei hi;i; to live on a higher ;■'.:{.-. oi freedom.

It is held however, by the Court that there is nothinc positively binding upon, the railroad com pany in the terms of the circular, it betas also suggested that Mrs. Taylor's occupancy of the land was accidental
