Bismarck Tele:

BlsmarCk Telegram.
Bart Mitchell claims to have killed The largest
snake ever killed in this section of country. On
last Monday while out hunting he heard pecu-
liar noise in thicket near him, which he pro-
ceeded to investigate On parting the bushes
he beheld sight never to be forgotten.
There lay huge snake with des's
h!ndfeet prOtrudng from his mouth.
HIS snakeship was speedily killed, and the dog,
which was not yet dead, was liberated. The
snake on being cut open was found to contain
two full grown rabbits. Its actual measurement
was II feet inches long. and % inches in cir
cumference. 1t is not known how the dog came
to be in such predicament. He says the dog is
a good hunter, and had tried to catch the rab-
bits, and as there was plenty of room he mad
entered the snake to bring out the game.

Mr.. Warner and the Keller Case.

WASHINGTON, July lin an interview which
the Post publishes to-day, Congressman
Warner explains at length his connection with
the Kellar case He assumes responsibility for
all that was done in the matter, and says there
has been no conspiracy between Treasury officials
and himself. He openly attacks the civil -servce
machine" as he expressed, and broadly hints
that the politics of Mr.. Kellar were known tothe
commission when they appointed him. He says
that, under the law. Secretary Manning need not
have appointed Kelar, and should not have done
so. He fayors congressional investigation into
the acts of the commission at the next session.

son Oyerworked.
WASHINGTON. July 11.-Mr. Stevenson, the new
First Assistant Postmaster general, has been
compelled to revive the rule practiced by his
predecessor, Mr. Hay, limiting the time for re-
ceiving visitors to the hours between 10 and II
o'clock every day. The adoption of this course
is necessary to secure an opportunity to attend
to the business of the Office. Since Mr.. Stevenson
assumed the duties of First Assistant Post
master general, he has been at his desk almost
every night until midnight, and the results of
his labors are apparent in the great increase OF
fourth class postofice appointments, that now
average about one hundred a day.
General Bryant and Messrs. Mcdonald and
Sharpe of the PostofIice Department, are now
preparing manual of instructions for the guild
in use at present was compiled in 1872, and has
become we'll nigh useless through the many
changes made in laws and postal regulations.

Some time ago an ex -cougressman from Penn
sylvania came down here to fix some of the
boys. He is well known in Washington, for he
served two terms and afterwards lived here. One
of his first acts upon his temperance was to go
to the captain of the watch in the Treasury De-
partment, and present the case Of a young man
whom he wished made a Waterman. The
captain had known the eX-congressman in his
greatness, go he Endorsed the application of the
Pennsylvania protese, and it went upstairs to
receive attention in due time. To-day the
congressman called upon the captain of the
watch, and. with some show Of eagerness, wanted
to know if there had been any action on the
application. He was told that the papers had
not been reached. We'll" said he, beginning to
be embarrassed, Il wish you would have them
Withdrawn The fact is you see, two or three
things l was counting on haven't turned out as
expected, and-well, to make it short want to

falls since the 4th of March, hut the drop from

ury beats the record.
