 The Star Route Frards.
 WAsIINGTOy, October The Star route ring is demoraiizcd. They feel that lightning is about to strike them, but don't know just how or where 1t VIII hit Postmaster General James and At- t0rney General NcNeagh have evidence enough, they are satisfied, to convict, and there is to be no delay in the prose cution. This morning a conference was held at the Arlington Hotel between James McVeagh, Geo. Bliss, B. Brewster and others, who represent the prOsecu tiun. Bliss submitted an indictment, which he had carefully drawn, against Brady, Dorsey, McDrew, ex-Chef Clerk French, Salisbury, Gilmore and other Star route contractors and beneficiaries of the ring. Bliss stated that he would pledge his professional reputation on the conviction. James and AlcNeagh approved the action of Bliss, and these indictments will be placed inn ediately in District Attorney COrkhilrs hands for presentment to the Grand Jury.

Several persons | implicated have confessed and given away the operations of the ring. The | prompt and determined stand of the Pres | ident in favor of a vigorous prosecution has demoralized and damaged tie ring leaders, who had kept the weaker silent | by assuring them, if Arthur was Presi- | dent, the whole matter should be i'm ! mediately quashed as soon as 1t was proper after the death of Garfield. Jame: and McVeagh had an interview with th' ! President about the star route matter The President had already declined fol | the time being to accept resignatiUns o | the Cabinet and had requested them tC continue in the discharge of their duties ! just as they would have done lad Presi dent Garfield survived President Arthu assured James and McVeagh that there must be no mistake as to his purpose to wards all persons who had been gulty O ! frauds towards the Government. I 1 there has been a star route ring and th'
