waukee and st. Paul road advertises to-day
to carry passengers from Omaha and Council
Bluffs to st. Paul aud Minneapolis for 81,
the route being via Sabula. The regular
rate is Sl3 co. This is done to retaliate on
the Chicago, Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Omaha line for having made cut rate be-
tween St. Paul and Sioux City. Whether
the Omaha road will meet the dollar rate Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, is not

Washington, Nov. 26.-The president up
on the report of the attorney general yes
terday issued an order removing District
Marshal Chas. E. Henry, Postmaster D. B.
Anger, Assistant Postmaster M. NJ Parker
M. D. Helm, foreman of the Congressional
Record, and George E. Spencer, one of the
commissioners of the Union Pacific railroad,
on the ground that they interfered with the
| administration of justice in the star route
case. These offices will all be filed imme-
diately, so there will be no interruption to
public service. The latter says he has re-
ceived communications from Bliss, Mer-
rick and Kerr on the subject Of the star
route trials, and continues: SIT is my
my opinion the ends of justice have been
interfered with by the persons com
planned of by Merrick, Bliss and Kerr.
| The marshal of the district is responsible
for much of the opposing sentiment ito the
case of the government that was exhibited
| in court and out of court during the trial
His negligent and irregular conduct in, Sc.
lecting talesmen strongly objected to at
| the time, and so informed him in public
interview. This offense must subject him
to the severest censure as aIsof6cer of the
court and an officer of the government. He
was guilty III this offense which has been
punished by courts as gross act of con-
tempt. I recommend his immediate re-
moval.
Second-D. B. Anger, postmaster of this
city, and his assistant, M. M. Parker, are
justly subject to all charges presented by
Bliss, and think they should be removed.
Third-The man Helm, recently appointed
to the head of one of the departments in the
public printing Office, is by law incapable Of
holding that Office, since he controls a. pub
lie newspaper. The paper he controls is a
paper notoriously and conisssedly owned by
one of the defendants, and, he Is the most
culpable of all, since it was by his official
criminal malfeasance that the corrupt orders
were made and the frauds successfully per-
petrated. His paper has beenengaged from
the beginning of these prosecutions down to
the discharge of the jury, in the most vio-
lent abuse of all who were supposed to be
interested in bringing the defendants to jus.
tice. The Judge was not even spared. The
counsel were persistently slandered and wit
nesses were openly assaulted, denounced and
terrorized by continual current of personal
abuse and calumny. am of the opinion
that this man should be removed and / am
astonished that those who have charge of
the public printing with knowledge of
these facts should venture to appoint him.
Spencer is delinquent and absconding
witness; that he can testify to material and
important facts, and that he left the city
and has ever since secreted himself and
avoided the process of law. He holds an
important public position and is the last
man who should hesitate to, be present in
court to testify in a case of this magnitude
and in which the honor of the government
and the administrationof public justice is
concerned, and because of his censurable
delinquency unite with Bliss and other
counsel in the case in asking; his immediate
removal
FIth-George o. Miller, one Of the police
of the district, in the recent judicial inquiry
with the audacity of criminal confessed
under oath that he had been engaged and
