Star Route Contracts.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-In the matter of
the star route contracts suspended by
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Whitefeld, because of their apparent
illegal if not fraudulent execution,
the assistant attorneys general for the post
Office department has just rendered deci
sion. He holds that the entire series of
contracts amounting to S147, 900, is illegal
and void. The proposals upon which the
contracts were based, while held irregular
in many respects, are not deemed absolutely
void. The assistant attorney general holds
that those based upon these proposals, and
the proposals for new contracts, which are
properly and legally executed, may be re-
ceIved.
The opinion recites at length the excul-
patory evidence presented by the con-
tractors

DRESSED BEEF.
The Butchers Convention in Detroit opposes
the Chicago Combine.


the Chicago Combine.
DETROIT, May 29.-The controlling ques-
ton among the butchers now in the national
convention now in session in this city is
how to resist the encroachments OF the
dressed beef combine.
Thomas Aamour, of Chicago, speaks
very plainly against the monopoly. Among
other things, Armour says: 1.-The monopoly
is now branching out into the
small towns. They compel the
small retail butchers to buy Chicago
dressed beef If he does not, the concern
will put Up retail branch and sell meat 80
cheap that lae poor butcher will be ruined.
You can't tell some diseased meat when
dressed. II the steer has lump-iaw or
pneumonia. there is no sign of it in the
dressed carcass; yet it is unhealthful food.
The remedy is for an inspection on
hoof in every state, which means that beef
shall not come into the state already
dressed. This convention will take very
strong stand in favor of more legislation"
Vice President Mooney, of New York,
said there was not so much competition
with the monopoly in New York city, still
the influence of the Chicago concern could
be felt and was growing.

CHURCH MUSIC.
The Ohio Presbyterians adopt Local Option
on the use of the Organ.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, May 29.-The United
Presbyterian general assembly is in session
here and has again taken action on the
subject of the use of the organ to other mu-
steal instruments in church worship. Com
plant on that subject is said to come from
representatives of about six thousand out
of $4,000 members of the church. The
judiciary committee, to whom the com
plant was referred, brought in its report
which was adopted. This is to the effect
that it is inexpedient to change the rule
adopted by the general assembly two years
ago, which is, that the use or exclusion OF
the organ shall not be bar to membership.
but that each congregation shall determine
its own cause in this regard. No disrup
ton is apprehended from this action.
