WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-The Evening
Star has the following: There is feel.
ing of great anxiety and depression among
tue leaders OF the democratic party Ia the
house on account OF the course being fol-
lowed by democratic senators in the tariff
matter. They are almost disheartened by
it. Democrats of the ways and means
in the house and feel that the battle is
still on or must be kept up to the last.
They think the senate bill should be
fought with greatest persistency and
vigor, 80 that every defect n it may g
exposed, and teel that any other course
toward 1t would be equivalent almost to a
confession OF Judgment. They are sur
prised at the passive way in which the
democratic senators appear to
be conducting themselves. Nearly
all are hard ut work in getting up facts
by the wayC and means com mmittee, and
the senators have hut to possess them.
selves OF information now easy of access.
Yet it is complained they have shown no
disposition to do 90, and none OF them has
undertaken the vigorous cham pionship of
the party cause. All the democrats of the
house want IL that the defects they think
they see in the senate bill should be drag

tackled and denounced. They do not care
whether the bill passes the senate or not,
and they do not want to have to take II up
in the house at all this session. They de-
sire that the democratic senators shall
make every point possible against the
measure, and then when 1t reaches the
house it will be allowed to lie in COM
mittee. They say, however, that they
cannot afford to let the bill 90 without
criticism. as II has, practicallr, 20 far, end

MINOR POST OFFICES.
Good News For the Ladies' who Look
After tho Letters.


WAsHINGroS. Dec. S.-All the post
mistresses will rejoice now that they have
friend at court in the person Of Mr.. Fow.
ler. chief of the appointment division,
postoffice department. He is modest of-
fetal, whose record for hard work stands
high. He said to-day that there we're now
5000 postmistresses in tho United States,
and as far as his knowledge and experience
went he found them to be az good servants
as the sterner sex. The complaints against
them were very rev, and in the fourth
class their record was better than the men.
The reason for this, he believed. was
due to the fact that the women felt the re.
sponsibility Of their positions more than
did the men; their domestic habits were
probably the real causes that led them to
be attentive TO the duties imposed. He
knew of many instances where postmasters
turned the cares OF the offices over to their
wives and daughters. The complaints
that had been made against postmistresses
of presidential offices we're not any more in
number than those against the opposite
sex. His experience of twenty years had
taught him many things respecting the
work OF women in the postotiice service.
During the present administration over
two thousand women have been appointed
postmistresses, and the indications are
that the number will continue to increase.
A great problem in connection with the
postoftice service would have to be solved
soon. He said that there we're over 5S,-
000 reports sent to the postoiiice depart
ment quarterly, and the accounts for these
postotfices had to be audited. There were
monthly reports also submitted, and the
work was increaing so rapidly that step
would have to be taken to simplify it.
speaking Of the salaries OF postmasters
he said that there were $4,000 postotfices
whose salary allotment was $45 annually.
These posmasters would have to be better
compensated for the services they render,
HIS the work they perform is important
Chlet Fowler also stated that he had
long thought of plan to relieve the work
of the postottice department, and that was
in having all the small Offices placed di.
rectly under the care of the large post
offices in the states and the presidential
postmasters be held responsible for the
work OF the small Offices.

There was the usual lottery in which the old
gentleman was persuaded that he had drawn

would not pay the money unless an equal
sum were shown him to prove the respon-
sibility OF the winner. The old Rentle-
man said he cotld not draw check, but
would get the money, Hs and tue 6rst
bunco man then started out. The old
gentleman sent a friend to his home, who
got $4,000 of bonds and then advanced
$4,000 on them. The money was tnrned
over to the old gentleman near the Eutaw
Savings bank. The gambler and his VIC

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 8.-The federal
grand Jury took q recess this evening until
December II. As to just what progress
the jury made in its investigation of the
Dudley case IL is difficult to ascertain, as
the court explicitly charged the jury to
carefully guard all matters that transpired
while In session. 1t is known that copy
of the letter alleged to have been written
by Dudley was submitted to the jury, and
dozen chairmen and secretaries Of county
committees, tn whom it Las been supposed
copies of the letter were mailed, have been
called into court. The editors of the Sen.
tinel, who are supposed to know who re-
cieved at least one copy of the Dudley let.
ter, have not yet been before the jury.
Chairman Jewett of the democratic state
central committee, was one of the wit
neesses examined to-day. 1t is supposed
that the copy of the Dudley letter which
finally went into the possession of the Sen.
tinel, passed through his hands.
