SUNDAY MAILS.
Postmaster General Wanamaker Tells
What Their StOppage Would Mean.

Postmaster General Wanamaker Tells
What Their Stoppage Would Mean.
Postmaster General Wanamaker was rather
severely criticised during q discussion at q
meeting Of the Sabbath Association, which has
been in session in Pittsburg for not stopping the
transportation Of mails on Sunday. DR.. George
Of Beaver Fall was especially severe in his de-
nunciations. Mr.. Wanamakers attention was
called to the criticism, and he said that to stop
the handling of Sunday mails means to stop the
wheels Of the railroads throughout the country
at IL o'clock Saturday night. In that event the
cars would be kept standing probably at remote
points, where the valuable mail matter
would be without adequate protection.
He thought that it was not clear what
would become Of the postal clerks, engineers
and other employees during this interval Of en-
forced rest To stop the transit of mails for
twenty-four hours he said would mean no
small matter to the commercial interests Of
the country. He said that he had examined
charge Of the department. he closed all the
department Offices to Sunday work. The
hours of delivery at the free delivery Offices
were made as short as possible, and no stamps
are allowed to be sold or money orders and pack
ages received. He added that the application
Of any considerable number Of the inhabitants
OF any place in favor OF the closing of the
post Office on Sunday would be favorably con-
sidered. Personally he was in favor OF an en-
tire cessation Of work on Sunday, but he
thought the question Of Sunday mails was
properly one to be considered BY Congress-. II
the people Of this country are in favor of hav-
ing the post Offices closed on Sunday he said
that they could 80 instruct their Representa-
tives in Congress and the necessary legislation
could be enacted

The Acting Commissioner Wants the
Earliest and Fullest Information.

the Indian agents with the exception of those
at the Sioux reservation, who have heretofore
received similar instructions. The letter in a.
follows:
"Your attention is invited to the prevailing
threatening excitement among the Sioux Of
North and South Dakota and::some other Indian
tribes connected with the ghost Dance" Of
which you are doubtless posted by press re-
ports or otherwise. 1t is very important, in view
of the tendency of such excitement to spread
and obtain general hold upon the Indians,
that this Office be kept advised as to the condi-
ton Of affairs at each agency with view TO
the adoption Of all proper precautionary meas
ures to prevent an outbreak Of the Indians and
to enforce obedience by them to all regula-
tions of this department. You are there
fore instructed to keep this Office
graph if the emergencies should re-
quire it, OF the condition and temper Of the
Indians under your charge, showing whether
any excitement spirit of disobedience to
orders or the regulations OF this department
which may exist among them is growing;
whether an outbreak Is threatened and
what measures should, in your
opinion, be adopted to preserve
peace or enforce obedience to .he orders of
this bureau by the Indians. do not desire

MILES AND THE MESSIAH.

An Army Officer Defends the Generals
Course in the Indian Trouble.
The paragraph printed in yesterdays STAR
about the presidential aspirations Of Gen.
Miles and their bearing on the present Indian
scare in the west has attracted wide attention
and has set half OF the army-the whole
army is divided into two parts, the Crooks and
the Miles-into fine state Of indignation
against the prominent officer" who ventured
the opinion that was reproduced in the paper.
An officer serving on the staff of Gen. Miles,
who happens to be in the city en- route to Chi
cago, ran across STAR reporter this morning
and in the casual conversation that ensued
made use Of the following remarks: ~ have
but recently boon to the Pine Ridge agency
and other agencies in Dakota where the
Messiah craze exists and l have little
doubt that it is, or certainly has been, the SUBJ
ject OF very grave apprehension on the part of
the authorities.
1T is we'll known that the strength of these
Indians among whom the prevails is
very great there being altogether fully six or
eight thousand warriors, and although they
could probably be defeated by the troops, yet
before then there would be tremendous dam
age done to the prosperity Of the country, with
out speaking of the loss of life.
THE PRESIDENTS ACTION.
$50 much attention has been attracted to
the danger that the President telegraphed to
Gen. Miles, over his own name, TO take all
necessary precautions. The experience which
Gen. Miles has had with these Indians has
given him thorough knowledge OF their char
acter, and he was especially chosen on the
Cheyenne commission on account of his
peculiar fitness and knowledge. From the time
OF the Custer massacre to the final surrender
of all the Sioux he was most prominent and
several thousand Indians were killed. captured
or forced to surrender through his efforts 1t
seems singular that any army officer, as quoted
in The STAR, should make such a
statement that Gen. Miles is endeavoring to
overrate this affair, or that his wise methods,
which have received the sanction of the War
Department and were directed by the Presi-
dent of the United States, should cause him to
appear in a political role. Such an inference
can only be actuated by
A CowARDLy AND ENvIoUs SPIRIT,
which, l am glad to say, rarely exists in our
army. 1t is strange that man with the
record Of Gen. Miles, both during and since
the civil war, should thus be attacked by an
officer. That he should be mentioned in the
role of presidential candidate is nothing
extraordinary. as nearly all OF our most noted
soldiers, particularly Grant Sherman. Sheri-
dan, Hancock and Logan, have been br ought
forth by the people on account OF their SER
vices and pr Omnence."
