Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. March 19.lGreat dis
satisfaction greetS Postmaster General
Wanamaker'S order requiring congress-
men and senators to come to him for
permission to examine papers in the de-
partment. This same experiment was
tried by Mr.. Villas and failed. the order
being necessarily withdrawn. 1t is un-
derStOod that ClarkSOn objected to the
order, and his Iowa friends exonerate
him from the folly of it. 1t is impossi-
BILE to prevent the peoples representa-
tives from seeing papers in the
to- hamper them. The following
presidentiol postoffices are now vacant:
In Wisconsin-Hilton. Rice Lake, West
Superior, Mauston, Lancaster, Hough-

said Delegate Matthews to-day, "be3
cause my predecessor had drawn Da-
kOta's quota. l went to the agricult-
ural department, however, and asked
for two congreSSmen'S quotas, because
we have practically two states. This
bold claim startled the officials and they
concluded to compromise with me and
gave one quota. Therefore my constit-
uentS shall have few seeds anyway,
merely because l bulldoZed the new de
partment. But, say, don't print that,
because thousands of fellows will write
for seeds, and there won't be enough to
go round" Col. Lounsberry called to-
day ON Secretary Window, Secretary
Noble and Postmaster General Wana-
maker. He assured each of them that
he wants no Office. Mr.. Window and
Mr.. Noble are old friends of Louns-
berry, and received him very cordially.

SMALL WORK.
County Attorney Macomber, of
Des Moines, in a Contemplate

County Attorney MacOmber, of
Des Moines, in a Contemplate
Role.
Special to the Globe.
DEs MONIES, To-, March 19.-County
Attorney Macomber to-day served notice
on Sheriff Loomis citing him to appear
before the court April 20 on charge of
contempt The cause of this action is
accounted for by the fact that criminal
cases against three Des Moines brewers,
in which each was fined LOCO and costs,
have been affirmed by the supreme
court, and the execution papers were
placed in the sheriff's hands early in
March. The defendants asked for
short time in which to raise the money
to satisfy the Judgment and the sheriff
granted it; but the county attorney,
who is rank Prohibitionist, rejoices to
see a brewer behind the bars. and in
sisted upon the service of the papers
and the placing of the defendants in
the county Jail. This the sheriff re-
fused; hence the action for contempt.
The judges have heretofore allowed the
sheriff wide latitude in serving papers
of this kind and will undoubtedly suS-
tain him in his present course.

BosToN, Mass, March 19.-The nego.
tiations for the much-desired light
weight championship battle between
Jack McAuliffe and Mike DAILY are at an
end, due to the obstinatcy of the former,
for which he is savagely criticised here.
The articles called for fight to finish
within 100 miles of New York with
skin gloves. AL Smith to referee.
Both men agreed to the conditions.
but McAuliffe insisted that the time
bd put off six months, believing it
would take him until August to get into
condition. DAILY insisted OIL the meet
ing inside of six weeks. Again Nc
Auliffe would not agree to any definite
decision as to who would hold the
stakes, as Smith had declined. DAILY
said that he could not afford to be placed
in position that would keep him out
of meeting with Billy Myer or Sam
Blakelock or some California light
weight. The opinion is thatt the Brook
lyn man is not over-anxious to take the
chances.

HOLD FOR sixty DAYS.
The Syndicate Will Take no More
Copper for That Period.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
BUTTE. Mont, March 10. = Orders
were received to-day by the copper pro-
ducers of Butte that the syndicate
would not receive any more copper for
theme sixty days, and under the ex-
isting contract they are not allowed to
throw any OF their product ON the mar
ket. The Anaconda, Butte & Boston,
Boston & Montana, Clark's Smelter and
Colorado will all continue to produce
and hold the copper. 1t is held that this
will tide the copper trust over their
financial embarrassment. If, how.
ever, the syndicate refuses to take
the product at the end of sixty
days disastrous results will follow. The
above notice has been sent to Arizona,
New Mexico and Calumet and Hecla
companies. A prominent copper pro-
ducer said to-day to your correspond
ent that no favoritism existed, but all
copper producers were notified yester-
day and to-day that no more copper
would be taken for sixty days for the
syndicate. This afternoon when pri-
yate .advices were received of the col
lapse, copper producer said that prob
ably with the exception of Haggin, the
producers are secured in their con-
tracts for eighteen months to come.

Plenty of Logs After All.

ANoKA, March 19.-Owing to the past
rather open winter, it was thought that
not more than half an average winters

AN OFFENSIVE PARTISAN.
The Cabinet Ask ed to Establish a
Precedent,

WASHINGTON, March 19.-One of the
matters considered at the cabinet meet
ing to-day was the case of an Illinois
postmaster, whose removal was asked
by one of the Illinois congressman be-
cause of the postmaster's political ac-
tlvity. 1t was admitted by the congress-
man that the Office was well managed,
and the matter was called to the at
tention of the cabinet for the reason
that the action taken in this case might
constitute a precedent hereafter. Post
master General Wanamaker said to-
night that he did not feel at liberty to
talk about what took place at the cabl-
net meeting. There is reason to, be-
lieve, however, that the result of the
meeting was adverse to the wishes of
the Illinois congressman, but it is not
known whether or not any fixed line of
action in cases of this kind was de-
termined upon.

THE TWINE TRUST.
Curious Facts Brought Out by
the Present Agitation.

Special to tho Globe.
Dies MONIES, To-, March 19-The
discussion of the twine trust, which is
going on at every cross road in Iowa,
is bringing out some things of interest
to the farmers and the general public.
1t seems that last season he twine
manufacturers s'forgOt themselves"
and while SiSal twine was held at 13 to
Ia cents per pound, one-quarter inch
rope, made of exactly the same material
in the same factory, by the same ma
chinery, was sold at to 10 cents per
pound. This was a distinction with
quite difference, and another peculiar
thing is this: Dealers say that the un-
sold twine at the seasons close, that
for which they asked IA cents, was re-
manufactured-that is, by twisting say
four lengths of twine together and
making quarter-inch rope-and then
sold at 9 cents per pound. or cents
less when it was called rope than when
you bought it as twine. This year the
manufacturers have got things fixed
right, so that the wholesale price of
tWine and rope are the same, say IL to
Is cents. The agitation of the twine
question has already resulted in COM
paratively few contracts for twine for
this year, either among dealers or farm
ers, and it the present determination is
held to considerable grain will be ''cut'
loosezand the old-fashioned cradle again
used.
