WASHINGTON NEWS.
The Scandalous Management Of the
Baltimore Post Office.

WASHINGTON. October o. - Theodore
Roosevelt. of the Civil Service Commission,
has submitted to the full commission re-
port of short examination made by him
some two months ago. into the management
Of the Baltimore post office, in so far as 1t is
affected by the civil service law. The re-
port says: Mr.. Veazey's administration can
only be characterized as scandalous. 1t
seems likely that he habitually and grossly
violated the law, both as to appointments
and removals; he certainly, during his year
of Office, turned out four-fifths of the old

greatly demoralize the service.

Achievements Of the "Long wIre.''

We find this paragraph in our esteemed
contemporary. the Evening Express:
The Western Union wire, over which the Ex-
press special last night from Gettysburg was sent,
was continuous one, the message not being re-
peated at any point. Pretty good, that.
The despatch alluded to in the above starts
off as follows:
GETTYSBURG, Oct 3.-Clear skies and bright
sunlight greet the eyes OF the Maine tourists here
are rejoicing over the hesnfif1I Weather nhie6
favors Them upon their dedication day.
AZ o'clock the national salute was fired from
echoes as they did in the closing days of the war,
but this time they heralded peaceful mission
yet the sound sent thrill through every veteran
as IL recalled to his mind the terrible scenes Of
that awful struggle. and brought back in vivid
colors the days when the mimic ball hurtled
through the air and grape and canister cut down
their comrades at their side.
AT 10 o'clock the dedicatory exercises began
and the veterans gathered around the rostrum,
eacn organization drawn up In line. The Presi-
dent OF the day, zen. Joshua l.. Chamberlain
slowly stepped TO the front OF the platform. and
rades and alluded to the mission which brought
them TO the famous. battlefield, in terms at once
pathetic and appropriate. His remarks were
listened TO with the closest attention.
AT the close of his address he introduced Rev.
Theodore Gerrish, of the Twentieth Maine regi-
meni, who offered prayer. 1t was a praise Of
thanksgiving, while at the same time 1t eas filled
with tender allusion to the heroes, over whose
nonored dust the State, Of Maine with patriotic
Pttuc lOudy tuuuFlHk monuments,
memorials to her fallen sons.
Now as matter Of fact the dedicat0ry exercis.
es did not begin until s O'Clock in the evening,
and the veterans instead of being drawn up
In line about the "rostrum," sat on benches
inside of the Court II ouse. 1t Is no doubt
fact that Gen. Chamberlain did step to
the platform, as the 'long wire" says, and II
as the 'long wire" affrms, he began to step
at about 10 O'Clock in the forenoon, he must
necessarily have stepped Slowly" for he did
not get there until after So'clock in the even
Ing. Rev. Mr.. Gerrish's prayer. which tPe
"long wire" describes as ''praise Of
thanksgiving" had not ben uttered when
the ''long wire" described it, which would
seem to indicate that the 'iong wire reached
to the throne Of heaven and had the advan-
tage Of the forekncwletge of tire Almighty.
The Express remarks chat the performance
Of the "long wire" waS "prett, goodl" This
is very feeble praiss. Its performance was
truly magnificent. Nothins has been seen
like it since the sbng wire from Lubec to
the Boston Glsbe Office reported the people
of Eastport 6eeipg from The flames that were
