TTNER AND The STAR REUTERS.

TYNER AND THE STAR ROUTERs.
WAsHNGTON, October 23.-The recently
published reports to the effect that Judge
Tyner, First Assistant Postmaster General,
is preparing statement to be submitted to
the President with regard to his connection
with the star routes and his report thereon,
have excited much interest here, and have
to-day been made the subject of persistent
inquiry. 1t is said that Judge Tgner in the
statement referred to will claim credit for
being the first to call attention to the star
route Irregularities, and will assert that
from his (Tyner's) report Postmaster Gene
raj James obtained his first knowledge of
the subject.
Postmaster General James, upon being
questioned on this point to night, said that
he had no means Of knowing what claims
or assertions Judge Tyner would make IN
his statement, or whether he would make
any statement at all, and that until he
should have some knowledge upon the sub
lect, other than that derived from the neWe-
paper reports, he must decline to talk about
1t. II is learned, however, from
very trustworthy source that Postmaster
General James did not obtain his first
knowledge OF the star tesiTregularities
from Judge Tyner's report, but that his at
tentiOn had been called to them by other
persons a month or six weeks before that
report was shown him.
Judge Tyner to night refused to see re-
porters upon the ground that he was very
closely engaged.
