Onloo 9erNiea.

OTTAWA, Nov. s.-For some months past
there have been mail robberlos in the Ottawa
Post Onlce and at other points In Canada. and
although several arrests have been made and
convictions secured the disappearance Of reg
istorod letters continued. Yesterday young
married mail clerk. named Catelier, son Of the
Dominion Registrar, running on the Pembroke
train. was arrested and decoy letter found
on his person. His arrest was followed by the
arrest OF another mail clerk. named Hayes,
at Hawkesbury to-day, Catellier having given
his chum away. Both have. admitted their
guilt. It is learned tonight that further
startling revelations will be made In day or
so. These robberles have been perpetrated by
an organized gang Of Government employees,
and several more arrests Will follow. The
Government detectives are now surrounding
tho gang. Both Catellior and Hayes belong to
respectable families. and their arrests have
caused o sensation. Thousands Of dollars
have disappeared from the Canadian mails. and
It is now believed that the gang who stole IL
will be broken up During the last session of
the registration fee from two to five cents per
letter in order, as he said, to enable the de-
partment to insure the safe transmission OF all
registered m after through the mails Inquiry
Tonight shows that no extra precautions have
been taken for the protection OF the public
and that It was only dodge on the part OF the
Government to raise q little moro revenue for
