WHEAT is CHAFFED.
Serious Charges Against the
House Postmaster

WASHINGTON, April 2s.-Serious
charges are preferred against James l..
Wheat, postmaster of the house of rep
resentatives poStoffice, and it is said res.
olution will be introduced in the house
in day or two, calling for an investi-
cation of the Office. The formal charges
against Mr.. Wheat are signed by six
employees of the house postOtfice. These
charges accuse the postmaster of being
guilty of gross Irregularities in conduct
ing the business of the office. Among
other offenseS cited against him are the
following: That his son, Walter r.
Wheat, IS receiving pay for two posi-
lions while it is impossible for one man
to do the work connected with these
work falls upon other employees of the
office; that Walter Wheat has been
guilty of opening at least one sealed
letter addressed to member of the
house, and that j. l.. Wheat is aware of
that fact; that the postmaster has COM
PEELED the route men to do work en-
tirely foreign to their regular duties,
and in some cases work which should
not be done by any empl0ye of the post
office; that Postmaster Wheat is subject
to violent OutburStS of temper, is AFRO.
CANT. mean, tyrannical, despotic,
Overbearlng and insulting, and in
every way untitled for the posi-
ton. An official Investigation into
these charges is urged. G.. j.
McCord, son of Congressman McCord,
of Wisconsin. and one of the employees
who signed the formal charges against
Wheat, says that many newspapers and
other matter addressed to members of
this house are not delivered, but are
thrown into the waste paper baskets of
the office. The sale of waste paper Is a
perquiSite Of the postmaster, who takes
advantage of every opportunity to i'll
crease the quantity of ''wastage."
About five weeks ago, says McCord, two
mail sacks and half containing copy
for each member OF the advance sheets
of book entitled Monetary Science,
International and Domestic was re-
ceived at the office. These pamphlets
have never been delivered, and the
postmaster has stated that he does not
intend to distribute them. McCord also
says that Wheat imposed upon the
Grand Army and the Republican eau
Gus by leading them to believe that he
had lost an arm in battle. when the fact
is that he lost his arm celebrating po-
lItical victory some years after the war.
Wheat Pleads Innocent.
Capt. Wheat, the house postmaster, in
answer to the charges made against him
by young McCord, says that the circular
and newspaper mail which he ordered
thrown into the waste basket was adj
dressed to dead members and ex-mem-
beers, and could hot be forwarded under
the postal regulations. The letter ad-
dressed to Representative Cowles and
opened by young Wheat, the postmaster
says. was circular letter, and Mr..
Cowles had ordered that no mail of that
character should be put in his box. Mr..
Wheat denies that any one imposed on
the caucus statement that he lost his
arm in the war. Mr.. Caswell and Mr..
La Toilette explained to the Republican
lost in the service.

CURLING THE MISSISSIPPI.
Senators Discuss the Jetty and
Outlet Systems.


WASHINGTON, April 28.-In eonnec-
ton with the presentation of a memo
rial in relation to the Mississippi river,
a discussion sprung up in the senate to-
day, and was participated by many sem
ators, the point turning on the question
whether the Jetty system or the outlet
system was the correct one, or whether
thera should not be a combination of
the two. Mr.. Vest gave it as his opin-
ion that the two systems could notstand
together, and that congress should
adopt one system or the other. Mr..
Washburn was frank to say that he was
in doubt OH the subject. The results
that had been anticipated from the
levee system had certainly not been
realized. 1t seemed to him that it
would be unwise for congress to pro-
ceed further until it knew more. The
bill went over without action, and the
senate adjourned.

RED Wing, Mimi, July 15.-When
Capt. Wetheren, of the Sea Wing,
left for his home at Diamond Bluff, on
the Wisconsin side of the river, yester-
day. he went in company with the
sheriff of that county. Itwas explained
that this had no meaning. but the
sheriff just happened to be on hand and
was going in that direction, and that
they went in company as old acquaint-
ances and friends. There was
some comment made on the f act
at the time, but this eXplana-
tion was given and the further
statement made that there was no sig
nificance in the fact. However that
may be, the report comes from across
the river tonight that Capt. Wetheren
is under arrest, having been arrested at
the instance of his friends. who consid-
cred him to be in danger of his life
from the friends of the victims of the
disaster, and had him placed in jail for
his own protection. He is now said to
be in Jail at Ellsworth, the county seat
of Pierce county, Wis, in which county
Diamond Bluff is located.

The principal streets are festooned

anxious parents of missing chill
dren have stood about the steam
boat landing awaiting news from
Lake City. None came of the finding
of other bodies until $50 tonight when
word was received that the body of little
Rikka Veaths, twelve-year-old daugh-
ter of Casper Veaths, of Red Wing, had
been recovered. Shortly after 10
o'clock the tug Wanderer announced
her coming by series of shrieks such
as only emalfate from steam tug. AS
the boat pulled in alongside the
wharf the crowd was swelled to
several hundreds Of people, each eager
to catch glimpse of the little dead
pale face from which the shroud had
been removed for purposes of identifi-
cation. The father of the child was
there, but even so short period of sub
mersion had changed the lines of that
loved form so that the father could not
recognize his child save by her clothing
and trinkets. A tiny pocketbook and a
gold cross found about the neck
of the corpse convinced him
of it's identity, and the
body was born away by the soldiers of
Company G to that sad little home up
the street. This is the last of the bodies
recovered, and it is believed that no
others will be found until decompoSi-
tion sets in. Many Red Wing families
are in awful suspense still. Mr.. and
Mrs. Newton, of the Newton hotel, have

Wilson, who promptly refused to issue
a warrant on the ground that that there
was not sufficient proof OF guilt.
1t is a matter of congratUlation for
the town that Attorney Wilson was
firm in his refusal to issue the war
rant. With the place in ferment of
excitement, every man almost frenzied
with sorrow and feeling that justice
was to be baffied by law, there would
not have been all instant's hesitation
about the treatment to be accorded this
man who was accused of so fright
fully ghoulish crime-he would
have been hanged to the near
est tree. True, there might
have been after regrets, but these would
have been too late to secure to the ac-
cused chance to prove his Innocence
before a jury. The excited people of
Red Wing and vicinity are not to be
trifled with. Something must of neceS-
sity be done at once to carry assurances
that the investigation of Capt. Wethern's
conduct and the wrecking of the Sea
Wing is to be thorough, searching, and
immediate one.

ANGUISH AND ANGER.
Indignation Over the Dissolved
Coroner's Inquest.

Coroner's Inquest.
Special to the Globe.
RED WING, Mimi, July 15.-The ef-
feet produced in Red Wing by the an
nouncement of the fruitlesS session held
by the coroner's jury was magical. Ever
since the awful news of the catastrophe
was heard in the village those most
sorely bereaved have been so benumbed
with their sorrow as to seem scarcely
sane. Yesterday, though the dear
ones were laid away in the
cemeteries, the empty places in
a couple of hundred family circles
became more painfully evident than
ever, and while the women and children
wept on, as they have wept ever since
the awful news was received, the men
have assembled about the streets in
groups to ask each other, nowhere was
time for speech, who was responsible
for the deaths of our wives, daughters
and sons. Great things were expected
to result from this inquest. 1t was
thought that the whole matter
would be sifted to the bottom
at once, but they forgot all
about the law, which, it seems, was
framed expressly to prevent investlga-
ton into matters of this sort. "There
are no marks of violence on that
corpse" said County Attorney Wilson,
pointing to the dead man Anderson,
who lay before the jurors on a slab.
True enough, there were none, and the
law expressly provides that the
coroner caunOt act unless it can
be proven that the man met
a violent death. Well, the jury
was dismissed. The news spread about
the streets among the men who had
buried their wives and Sweethearts yes
terday afternoon, and there was an
ominOuS aspect to affairs from that mo-
ment. Many Of the men standing about
the curbs refused to listen to any eX-
waited for. "By heaven" said one
had better get over into Wis
consin and stay there, where
his practice is." There was growing
and whispering everywhere, and it
would be i'll indeed for any man upon
whom the wrath of these people, des-
perate as they are in their grief, should
fall tonight To speak the name of
Wetheren is like touching fire to tinder.
The same opinion prevails everywhere
as to his culpabilfty. "Curse him, he
ought TO hang" said one, referring to
the master of the ill-fated Sea Wing.
sHe may hang" said another, with a
peculiar emphasis, which seemed to
indicate that the possibility was not
even remote.
Yesterday afternoon warrant was
applied for by resident of Red Wing
for the arrest of another resident on the
charge of robbing the bodies of those
dead which lay in the enclosure at Lake
