The NEW YORK POsr OFFICE DEFALCATION -
The Associated Press agent telegraphs from
Washington as follows:
The Postmaster General, in a communication TO
the House on Wednesday, saws the true explana-
ton Of the Ignorance of the Department of the
existence and progress Of the fraud Of Mr. Fowler,
late Postmaster at New York must be sought In
the failure Of DR.. Tate, Sixth Auditor, to report
the constantly recurring delinquencies to the
Postmaster General. Mr.. Tate. in reply to the
Postmaster Generals request for explanation,
maintains that his official course has been I'm strict
conformity with law and long established usage
and practice, and further declares that he is not
conscious Of having neglected the faithful per
Torrance. He says il was the duty of Mr. AVE
lay, Third Assistant Postmaster General who is
the head of the Finance office, to make the dis
covery, but Zavelay replies NO examination
has been made since the reorganization of the
Department IN 1896, with view to tx the &C
countability of Postmasters, that duty being
clearly and exclusively devolved Oh the Sixth
Auditor" The POstmaster-General comedies
with this exposition Of duty, saying ''the Third
Assistant might conjecture dedication. but
could not know it with certlinty."

HICKS, THE PIRATE.-On Tuesday. saws the
New York Tribune, a gentleman belonging to
this city, who in 1Si4 was attached to the United
states naval service, and who was at that time
on the Pacific station visited Hicks, 10 see n he

who had been engaged in the Saladin affair pre-

a"beach-comber," or cruiser on the Spanish

character. When he made himself known to
Hicks he offered to reveal the history of his life

Hicks had been several times tried for offenses
committed near Callao, and was certainly, in one
instance, sentenced to labor in the government
mines OF Peru, at Cerro Pasco from which he
with others, escaped when being conducted to
the penal spot. He reached africa, shipped in a

was unfortunate for him that be did not consult
the authorities, or even try TO obtain pernissi on
rom the Government, his intention being to steal
cargo. Arrived at the Islands, he commenced
loading bis ship. and when interfered with NV
the agents OF the CHILEAN Government, he resisted
by force OF arms. Before his vessel was filed
word was sent to Valparaiso and an armed cruise
despatched to arrest him. He was taken 10 that
port and his vessel confiscated

HICKS was then seaman, received Fielding and

THE OYSTER LAW EXCITEMENT The excite
ment In the lower counties of MARYLAND in relation
TO the oyster "fundum," says the Baltimore
American, is Intense, every man feeling personal
grievance at the recent attempt of Messrs Miles
Morgan and others TO locate land warrants on the
oyster beds of the Potomac and the Chesapeake
In 81 Mary's county any attempt to execute these
warrants would meet wi b armed resistance and
the surveyors stakes were scarcely erected before
they were taken up and removed by the excited
populace. The card published by the Gland
ompany'-declaring their intention to return
their warrants to the Land Office without attem nj
ing to execute them against the will of the
people-served temporarily to lull the excitement,
but We since learn from Annapolis that prior To
the publication OF this card Of withdrawal, other
parties, supposed TO be connected with this n
company" had obtained from the Land Office
warrants covering over one million of acres of
oyster beds, including the very lands enumerated
In the warrants OF Messrs. Miles, Morgan & Co
The parties named are Messrs John E. Wilson
agent, wine and liquor dealer and James p
Archer, stock broker, both of Baltimore The
impression on Wednesday was that the with
dfaWal OF the orlglna parties was mere transfer
OF whatever rights they may have obtained to
Messrs. Wilson and Archer, and that the original
project is yet to be tested in the Courts
The rumon float i'm relation to the ori o i'm of the
movement are OF the most varied character That
which seems most to be entertained is that the
project orig mated at the North and Il is said that
500 eco of northern capital has been furnished to
test the rights Of the parties to locate these water
lands under the warrant of the State Col Plow-
den, Of fcomico, in order to protect himself and
neighbors, has also visited Annapolis, and OBJ
tlned counter warrants, paying the q caution
money! of p cents per acre for that portion of the
oyster bars of ICOmico river which had been
taken by Messrs. Miles, Morgan a Co his object
being to transfer the warrants to a committee of
gentlemen OF the vicinity, in order that they NAV
be preserved, as heretofore, for the general and
free use Of the public. The island and bar which
he obtained a warrant for, he claims 10 have been
