WASHINGTON, Feb. THE Postmaster at
Portland, Maine has inquired of the post Office
department whether or not he shall deliver to
II. L. Graves about 300 letters addressed to
him and now lying in the post office. Graves
is under arrest and awaiting trial for using the
mails for fraudulent purposes. And all the
letters are supposed to contain sums of money
from his victims. Graves scheme (as has been
printed) was to advertise that he would furnish
remunerative employment to any one who
would send him 20 cents, which promise he
failed to perform. The department decides
that there is no authority of Law for withhold
ing the letters from Graves.

The NV Pro ooss of Steel. Making.

READING, Pa, October l5.-The new
Henderson process Of making steel,
which Is controlled by dozen leading
iron firms Of Easton, Pa, and which Is to
take the place Of the Bessemer process,
was successfully tested yesterday at
Blrdsboro. The blooms rolled nicely.
The sheets were then cut into rail plate,
and iron and steel rails Of excellent char
acter were manufactured. The new kind
of steel Is moro pliable, cheaper, and
more easily worked that Besscmer steel,
while II is as tough. The expectation Is
that II will take the place Of hammered
and rolled iron altogether.
