OF glory to the lady bird. Yet they were
not unthlnking savages. Agriculture and
the traditions OF migrations hal gwen

The egg was unlike the young OF any other

conclusion at which they arrived, was that

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, July THE House
committee on commerce to-day
unanimously adopted resolutions
endorsing Mr.. Reagan's refutation of
Mr.. Van Voorhis' recent statements
IN the House concerning the passage
of the bill to regulate immigration.
AS Il result of the consultation
between the government counsel Ill
the Star Route cases upon the
recently discovered and important
evidence, Colonel Bliss, through
District Attorney Corkhill, this morn
ing filed motion in the Criminal
Court for the reconventiOn of the
grand jury.
Judge Wiley granted the motion
and issued an order convening
the jury at 10 o'clock on Monday
morning. The prosecution have no
doubt of their ability to obtain
new Indictment. It is probable that
the defendants will then be immedl-
ately arraigned, although they can
not be tried before the October term
of the court. There is much specu-
lation as to the character of the new
evidence. The testimony of Contrac>
tor Welsh is said to form a part of
it. Among other sensational rumors
is one to the effect that other
prominent officials who have not
yet been openly mentioned will be
indicted in connection with the Star
Route frauds In the cases now on
trial the government expect to close
their evidence upon the routes
within three days, as they have but
few more witnesses to examine, and
but little documentary evidence to
present. 1t is probable that the
question of admissability of Randell's
cofession, as evidence, will then
again arise, and legal battle of the
first magnitude ensue.
Ex-senator Creswell, of Maryland,
has been selected by the President
as counsel for the government before
the Geneva award commission.

The Star Route Cases.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-With refers
ence to certain published statements
to the effect that there had been a
disagreement among the counsel
prosecuting the Star Route cases
growing out of the suppression Of
important evidence by Bliss, Merrick
authorizes the following statement ::
''Just before the adjournment of
court Friday last, rumors came to
his hearing to the effect that addi-
tlonal evidence of the most positive
character against the Star Route de-
PENDANTS had been brought to light y
A conference was held this morn
ing and Merrick then ascertained
that Bliss and Anker had
been as Ignorant as himself of the
existence of that most important
evidence. 1t was agreed that Bliss
should take immediate measures to
have the grand ury reconvened, and
another set of indictments obtained
Meanwhile there is a most perfect
understanding and agreement be-
tween the government and counsel,
and Merrick freely and openly ex-
presses his confidence III Bliss
as to the cases now being prosecuted.
Merrick states that although the
routes as they have been presented,
while showing ample evidence of the
crosses fraud, do not apparently
make out d conspiracy, yet when
they are all presented and supple
lnelted with other evidence, there
will be no difficulty in making ouj a
case. I've will dovetail them to-
gether, and show such a mass OF
fraud and corruption" said Mer-
rex emphaticaliy, ''that we shall
certainly obtain conviction
He added that he did not intend to
allow his confidence in his associ>
ates to. be shaken by any idle rumors,
which he believed were put in circu-
lation by the defense, with the pur-
pose of creating dissens ons and dis
trust among the prosecution. In
tbs connection, 1t Is reported that
James b. Price, who was recently
indicted with Brady IN what the
government regards as very strong
and easily proven case, is fugitive
from Justice and is now in Canada.

Ten Thousand Clerks.
Washington Star.

The government and it's employees
bear a relation to our city somewhat
similar to that of a college and its
students to the little New England
village where it is located. There
are enough office e-holders who are
residents of Washington to make
good sized city of themselves. In
the various departments the work
goes on the same from one years end
to the other, aud one would scare. ly
realize how great the number of ems
ployes in the various departments is.
The number is about 10000 This is
exclusive of the capitol, city posts
office and district government offices.
This body of government employees
forms not only large but very
intelligent and agreeable element
of the population of Washing
ton. A large proportion of them are
people OF thought, education and re-
fnement, and their presence would
be an acquisition to any community.
The remuneration of the employees
of the departments varies somewhat,
but generally the salaries range
from 5000 to $4,000 for clerical
work, the latter being given to those
who occupy responsible and particu~
larly important position, and the
first generally to copyists, a great
many of whom are ladies'. The lat
ter are hard worked and they work
we'll and receive the smallest remun-
Grafton, but the wolf is kept from
the door of many family by their
earnest endeavors. A great many
of them once belonged to families of
wealth, but reverses came, and they
are glad to be able to work for a
living. In the Treasury Depart-
ment there are over 500 lady clerks,
and in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing as many more. In the
Treasury and Interier Departments
changes are most frequent, and it is
in these mostly that women are EN-
ployed, and every now ali then there
are rumors of pending changes
which set their hearts fiuttering
with dread until the danger is over.
A position in the State Depart
ment is considered a permanent
thing. 1t is run on plan similar
to our Army and Navy. When some
one dies promotions take place, and
there is a chance for an appointment
In the War and Navy Departments,

average, has greatly improved in

OK the 26th of June a paper was
carried to the Departments III Wash
ington, calling for subscriptions to
defray the expenses of Houks cams
paign. 1t was explained that Judge
Houk expected two per cent. on sal,
aries from each employe from the
Second Congressional District, and
that by arrangement with the Con-
gressional committee it would be
taken as their contribution to the
general fund. We doubt the truth
of the explanation, but the fact shows
how the Republicans of the Second
District are to be bossed, and
how Department clerks are bled
for that purpose. Our information
is that Doorkeeper BrownlOw headed
the list with twenty dollars. This
is where the 1915 came from, we

The Guiteau AUTOPSY.

WASHINGTON, July Ga report of
the autopsy upon Guiteau, signed by
acting assistant surgeon of the army,
DR.. j. Z. Lamb, has been forwarded
to Philadelphia for publication i'll the
Medical News. The opening para
graph he describes as the official
report of the autopsy, but it does not
indicate to whom the report was
made, and it lacks the signatures of
Drs. Sewers and Hartegan, who were
designated by District-Attorney
COrkhill as the associates of DR.
Lamb III making the autopsy, and who
were present at the dissection of
Guiteau's body In utterances
to newspaper men, DR.. Lamb de,
clnes to recognize these two physi-
clans as having any right to voice
III making the report, and he pres
pared the document without con
sulting them III any way. District
Attorney Corkhlll, on the other hand,
says DR.. Lamb had no authority to
act independently of the above
named physicians, and the latter an
Hounces the intention OF preparing
another report, which will be the
majority report.
Doctor Lambs action in thus ig-
nOring the other physicians was a
surprise to them and to Corkhill.
Doctors Sewers and Hartegan
affirm that Lambs report disagrees
IN important particulars from the
notes taken by themselves and by
other physicians present at the post
mortem. But Doctor Lamb has
possession of these notes, and de
cLlnes to permit the oth>
er surgeons to see them.
The latter, accordingly, will prepare
their report from duplicate notes
and other memoranda and from
memory. DIR. Lamb, in bis report,
states that it is made in accordance
with the request from DR. Hicks.
The report is entirely too techni-
cal to be ineligible to the general
reader, except as to the points which
have already been telegraphed, to-
wit: That the muscles of the neck
were torn asuder, but that the bone
was not broken. That the brain
weighed 49, ounces. That the
spleen was abnormally large.
Upon this report the Medical
News has based an editorial, in which
it says that those who expected to
demonstrate the assassin's criminal
irresponsibility, by the changes in his
brain, will have a rather difficult
task, and that if they expected to
find such changes in the structure OF
the brain as attach to the organs
of chronic insane person, they are
certainly disappointed, Some devia-
tions from a typically normal brain
are referred to in the report, but
they have absolutely no signiication
from the point of view of mental
arrangement. 1t may be affirmed OF
Guiteau's brain that it presented as
little radiance or pathological
change as the brain of any one OF
his age, dying of some other than
cerebral disease. What may be dis
closed on a microseopical investiga-
ton, which is yet to be made, re-
mains to be seen. Here the oppor,
tunities are great for unconscious
deceptions and differences Of opin-
