WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The Post Office Depart
ment has great difficulty in the management of
postal affairs in the yellow fever districts.
At Grenada Miss, the situation is particularly
distressing. The postmaster died few days ago,
and Geographic appeal was received requesting
that his wife, who was not very well, be appointed
his successor, as the salary was needed The
officers of the department replied that they would
wait until she got well before appointing her.
This morning dispatch was received stat
ing that she was dead. All the bondsmen are
dead, or have left the city. All money, stamps,
and records Of the Office are locked up
IN the safe, and the only persons who
knew the combination are dead. clergy
man is now acting as volunteer postmaster
for two hours daily All this is IN violation Of
law on the part Of the department, but there is no
remedy.
The department has daily received applications
from numbers both of reckless adyentur-
ers and of charitable persons for positions
