 l WASHINGTON, March 2O.-After Mr. Inger-
 soil had concluded his argument in the Star
 route case to-day in opposition to the admis- Il sibility of evidence concerning the Price
 drafts, Judge Wylie excluded the evidence as l irrelevant and Gen. Brady's cross -examina-
 ton was resumed by MT. Bliss The witness 1 explained what he meant in speaking of an l allowance of $50 for the western service; had made many temporary contracts upon | routes pending re-advertisement. Some of them were as long as the Tongue river route. l That route was not re-advertised, because to do so would be only to incur the risk of another inadequate bidding. The witness declined to say what member of Congress in terested himself in the Mineral Park -Pioche route, saying he had no objection to naming the persons who initiated the movement, but he had an objection to naming the persons who had concerned themselves in the subse quent orders. The Nevada Senators and Representatives and the Utah delegate had interested themselves in the route, among others Senator Jones. Mir. Bliss remarked that the papers did not show the indorssments of any of the persons named. The cross examination of General Brady 1 dragged along slowly until the prosecution read the following letter from General Brady | to John A. Walsh:

The court then adjourned.
 Postmasters' salartes-Thetr Readjust-=
 ment Prevented by Insufficient Clerical
 FOrce-AQuestiOn for Tobacco Dealers.
 WASHINGTON, March 2o.-Owing to the insufficient clerical force Postmaster General Howe cannot this year readjust the salaries of postmasters in accordance with the provi- sions of what is known as the Spaulding bill. It is estimated that there are thirty thousand postmasters who will come under the pro- | visions of this bill and that if their claims are allowed it will take $3 1000, ,0o0 to settle them.

 Special Agent Townsend writing to the commissioner of Indian affairs from the Sac [ and Fox agency under date of March 18th l says he found nearly every house and settle ment deserted in consequence of the Greek Indian war and that season of the year when every man should be in his field found them running about the country with rifles on their shoulders He represents that a | reign of terror prevails throughout this part 1 of the Creek reservation and appears to have stampeded the entire population He recom- mends that measures be taken to bring this war to close by an interpretation of the | general government and expresses the opin- l ion that unless it is soon terminated other l Indian tribes now at peace may become ln- | volved either as enemies or allies. There is considerable talk here over the 1 fact that the office of the New York World 1 has been ordered closed and the absence of 1 it's correspondent has led to the supposlnon | that the paper is to be left without repre- sentation here. There has recently been great cutting down of expenses in the home office of the World, but it was matter for surprise that it should cease to make show ing at the national capital, and it is further reported that Mir. Gould's economies of late have been extended into the hitherto sacred precincts of the Associated Press, the force of that concern having been largely reduced here and all along the line for the purpose, it is said, of making it self-sustaining institu ton, or in other words to enable it's manag- CTS to operate the Organization on the money collected from those of it's clients outside of its original membership, which is confined to New York. The noticeable falling off in it's cable service and the degeneration of its do. mestic service below the lowest average point ever reached before gives thoughtful people good reason for believing that the Associated Press is likely to share the fate of the World. which is obviously in it's decadence.
