The HOUSE committee on appro~
pria!ions has reported bill providing
for the deficiency occasioned in the
postmaster generals department BY
the reckless prodigality of Mr.. Key
and his subordinate. The appropri-
stion will probably be made and the
order to reduce service over Star
routes to one time a week rescinded
before it goes into effect. It will be re-
membered that Key played the same
kind of trick a year or 80 ago, with
reference to railway mail service. He
expended money lavishly during the
first part of the year, and when it
was seen that the appropriation
would not bold out, threatened to
withdraw the postal cars OF certain
day if Congress did not 60 to his re-
lief. As the carrying into effect OF
the threat WoUli have resulted in ar
noying inconvenience beyond all
reason, the appropriation had to be
made. There is a law providing
against exceeding the appropriations
during the period for which they are
made, but in order to keep Mr.. Key
straight, the act needs to be changed
so that he can spend only a certain
sum every month.

The Maine Mess.

Augusta, Me., 24.-The Hsles in
vestigating committee, to-day, con-
tinued the examination of the election
returns. and several important ire
gularities were discoveree, notably in
the cases Of the towns of 8uokfeld
and Brownfeld, where the names OF
the towns and counties were omitted
in filling up the blanks, thus render
ing said returns useless. Some un.
authorized parties, however, after the
discovery OF such errors, filed in the
blanks and returned fusion county
officers az elected. Changes in the
returns from the town of Hebron are
also shown to have been made in the
interest OF the fusienists. 1t is re-
ported that startling disclosures of
fraud will be shown in certain cases
from Washington County, when the
evidence will not only implicate state
officials bntleadiug fusion politicians.

The city officials and citizens who
we're present at the secret confer
ence, yesterday, are very reserved in
their statements IS to the object of
the meeting. Ex-Mayor Bryant says
the discussion concerned water rates
and an increase of the police. Chief
of Police Crowley says it is under
stood that none of the participants
should reveal the nature of the con-
ference, but that the matter of in
creasing the police force was discussed !
among other things. He laughed at
the suggestion made by the city
officials not present at the meeting, |
that its object was to oppose the con- |
domination Of Chinatown or put down
the agitation by the unemployed |
woikingmen.
The committee of the Chinese Six
companies have advised their cour try
men, during the present uncertain !
temper of portion OF the people, to |
close their places of business early in
the evening, absent themselves from
the streets and be generally sober,
watchful and prepared. While great
many citizens consider that the talks
OF the sand lot leaders are more idle

be denied that an uneasy feeling
exists and sense OF uncertainty as to
what may occur in the near future is
Among authorities of the
police and military there is no
question as to ability TO cope with any
mob violence that may exhibit itself.
The general expression is that in case
1f any overt act the conflict will be
short, sharp and decisive, and re.
