WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Corres-

between the Postmaster General and
Mr.. George Bliss, of Government
counsel in the Star-route cases. The
former says that he is convinced that
actions for the recovery of money paid
by the Government to certain contrac-
tors will lie, and requests Mr.. Bliss to
enter civil suits. MIR. Bliss replies
that in his opinion the frauds com.
mitted can be punished under the
criminal statutes and in conclusion
says: 81 fou will, l know, agree with
me that these civil suits should not in
any way supersede the criminal pl ose-
tions, for punishment of the Offenders
is of infinitely more Importance than
the recovery OF money. Both ci, il
and criminal proceed dings will be
pushed as rapidly as is consistent with
Justice to the Government and to the
defendants, though it is quite possible
that you will not find the progress so
rapid as you desire.'
