WE learn that the mail route from Benson to Mesavllle has been discontin. ued. J. \. Dodson, post master of the latter place, was in town yesterday and ordered the CITIZEN discontinued be- cause he could not get 1t by mail This route supplied mail to Tres Alamos, Reddmgton, Mesaviile and Dudleyvills, besides the four mining camps of Bun- ker HIll, San Pedro, Coalfields and Sad de Mountain. The route Is 1l0 miles long. For the past month there has been DO service on this route. The contract was let to some Washington chap, who in turn employed Mir. Ohnsr- sorgen of Benson, to carry the mail. He carried 1t for two quarters, and rsceiv- Ing no pay from the Washington man and threw up the job. This Is not the first time such things have occurred in Ari- zona, but it IS about time something was done to prevent repetition of them
 The system of sub-contracting mail routes is wrong. The man who bids on a mail route and is awarded the con- tract should be compelled to perform service. Here is another case that re- quires the attention of Delegate Oury,

THE money markets continue easy leaning rates on mercbantable paper be ing slightly higher than Tn London and Amsterdam. The reserves of the banks are large and tending to increase. The excess over legal requirements in New York, Boston and Philadelphia Is ST. S7l,36j. winch Is positive proof of the abUndancy of the circulating medium. The movement is toward the eastern cen ters. With the bank rate in England at 1 per cent, and money easy on the conti- nent We have every reason to expect a continued easy market for some tune t. come. The only real danger to be feared Is some further criminal actions on the part of our railway managers, which would tend to destroy what little credit foreign holders of American securities still have in American enter prises, and which would force upon us large quantities of our securities Otherwise we can see nothing in the present situation which is not promising of good results.

Attorney BrentanO Excites Solicitor Ray

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 25.-There was little
scene in the Treasury Department to-day
which threatened to be exciting for a time
Ex-Congresman Brentano, A, c. Hessig's at
torney, called on Solicitor Raynor to see
what could be done to hurry the Hessig COM
promise whisky case. In the course of the
talk Mr.. Brentano asked Mr.. Raynor if the
matter could not be expedited if "inhuence"
were brought to bear. Now if there is any
one thing Mr.. Raynor prides himself on it is
his independence from influence, and when
Mr.. Brentano made that proposition he arose
in wrath and threatened to cut off the attor-
neys ears to show his disapproval of such
language. Mr.. Brentano apologized and
smoothed the officials ruffled feathers. The
Hessig decision is expected on Monday, and
it is said to be favorable to the compromise
offered

Halford, in proposing the health of Colonel

frightfully lacerated, according to the usages
of the tribe, attesting the game qualities of
the participants. 1t is probable that this is

Session of the Committee.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Before the Hill
investigating committee Mr. Coleman read
an affidavit reciting that frauds are alleged
to have been committed in connection with
stone-dressing contracts. and setting forth
that testimony essential to the prosecution
would be obtained from persons residing at
Quincy, Mass, where some work was done.
He asked the committee to go there.
Mr.. Totten held that Mr.. Coleman was not
entitled to the testimony he desired; it was
not rebuttal, but only cumulative proof.
Mr.. Coleman maintained that the testi.
mony was important primarily, and proper
to be given.
The committee reserved its decision upon
the question.
In regard to the Chicago witnesses, the
chairman said Mr. Walbridge was now on
his way here, and the collector expected to
receive the attendance of King and Wood
man.
Mr. Coleman asked that King and Wood
man be authorized by telegraph to examine
the heating apparatus in the Chicago build
ings in order that they may be able to testi-
fly clearly.
Mr.. Hill was then placed upon the stand
to testify in answer to the charge of fraud in
furnishing elevators. He said a committee
of experts was appointed by the Secretary of

Chicago building, and had reported in favor of
the Hall apparatus. The report was read in
evidence.
