THE Postmaster General disavows all knowl-
edge of the Legislation doubling the postage
on printed matter until after Congress ad-
journed. Mr.. Jewell expresses great regret
that careful examination leaves him no OPP
portunity to suspend modify or evade its pro-
visions. Senator Hamlin, upon whose appeal
and explanation the amendment was passed,
after Sargent had moved to table it, made no
mention of its effect on newspapers, and 1t was
supposed to relate only to merchandise sent
through the mail.
WILLIAM 8. KING, Congressman from Min
neapolis, has been in Washington trying to
change the Postmaster there. Jewell, in view
of Kings position in the Pacific Mail scandal,
declined to recognize him as entitled to the
usual influence of Congressman in such cases,
suggesting that though elected, it was still
doubtful if King would be member OF the
next Congress. Subsequently King renewed
the effort, aided by Senator Ramsey. They
overlook the President and Jewell on the
street. King wanted to know of the President
whether he was to be recognized or not Jewell
relieved the President by repeating: mo
change will be made in the Minneapolis Post
master at present" King got excited and de-
nounced his accusers. The President said:
you have been indicted byyour Legislature"
King denounced the legislature as pack of
liars and scoundrels. Jewellsai when you
are indicated we will consider the subject of
allowing you to control the patronage of your
district"
