Econcerning the rumored appoint
ment of successor TO First Assistant
Postmaster-G Tyner, results
in ascertaining from the highest OFF,
cial sourcesthat no changes had been
ordered. 1t is true, however, as
heretofore stated, that Gen. Tyner's
resignation has been at the disposal
of the President for some timeyand
that in fact it was rendered by
Tyner, in accordance with the usual
custom, almost Immediately after
the present administration came Into
power. The resignation has not
been accepted. Its rumored, how
ever, that il will be accepted at an
early day, and that ex-senator
Spencer will probably be appointed
to fill the vacancy. tJ.
| The representatives Of the Attor-
neysGeneral and OF the Postmaster
General, now and heretofore a1n
charge of the star route con-
tracts investigation, emphatically
discredits the published fumors
that Secretary Blaine has been
/ fuaVllfaoNoA ~. fhA ..nfowwnA
to and that in the interests of
himself or of implicated friends, he
has endeavored TO stop or impede
the investigation. The committee
of investigation and their superior
officers unite in denouncing af1 such
Teports as utterly groundlesby and
says, on the contrary, Blaine, has,
from the very first, encouraged, the
investigation most heartily, and has
constantly taken ground that 1t
should be prosecuted TO the utter
most. .. ..5 ,.l.i
