BLOCK FILES AFFIDAVITS.
Some Interesting Statements About the
Policy Business.

DetectiverBlock today filed additional affi-
davits with Commissioner Robert bearing upon
the charges recently instituted by VIM. P.
Wood, heretofore published in The STAR. The
first affidavit is one from E. O'Brien, who was
charged with being in collision with Block
with reference to the choking of of certain
warrants issued against policy dealers
for which he received compensation.
O'Brien in his affidavit says that the affidavit
filed by VIM. P. Wood setting forth his connec.
ton with S. j. Block in reference to the procur-
ing of certain warrants against policy dealers
ana their non-execution and all else CO injected
Herewith is incorrect and at variance with the
facts facts He He n; makes ssoz affidavit to the
woodward, sometimes called Wagner
came to him and asked him to meet
him at Woods office, saying: If you will
swear to certain statement which Wood will
have prepared in regard to warrants which
ers there" is $1,000 awaiting you. which
Wood will pay YOU He says that he
went to Woods Office and that the
statement to be sworn to was drawn up
and handed by Wood to him and that he put it
in his pocket and woodward then said: ''Will
you go to A. c. Richards Office and swear to it2
As soon as you do the money will be handed to
you" He says that he replied that he would
not swear to 1t that day, but would think it
over, and that he had no intention of
making the affidavit because The statements
contained therein were utterly false. He
says that the statement prepared by Wood had
sole reference to the warrants against policy
players obtained from Justice Mills, Wood
having alleged i'll the statement drawn up and
placed in his hands to be sworn to that said
warrants had been disposed of to
the policy dealers for money
consideration and that Block had re-
ceived portion of the money Further that
the statement prepared by Wood that he in
formed him that Block held on to the lions
share of the $500 alleged to have been received
from the policy dealers is utterly false and
altogether without foundation, and further
that he has never given to Block any money or
other consideration for any purpose whatso-
ever.

THE WASHINGTON POST OFFICE.
The Results of the Months Weighing
Reported to the Department. e.,

A little over a month ago the Postmaster
General ordered that all the mail passing
through the largest post Offices Of the country
should be weighed for the period OF a week in
order to get some estimate of the amount of
mail matter handled. In this city the weighing
was kept up for month, in order to make a
fairer estimate of the amount. inasmuch as the
mail handled at the city post Office here varies
considerably more than elsewhere, on account
of the nature Of the mails
that originate in the government departments,
being, as it is, much heavier some weeks than
others. Postmaster Ross has Just forwarded
his report of the result OF this weighing to
Postmaster General Wanamaksr, and the
statistics included in it are decidedly interest
ing to people here.
The report shows that during the thirty days
ending June 4. 122.002 pounds Of tirst-class free
matter were dispatched, which would amount
to 024 pounds per annum. This at 80
cents per pound would bring TO this

PAYING FOR THE NEWARK.
The Government Saving Considerable
Money by Imposing Penalties.

Secretary Tracy has approved the applica-
tion Of the VIM. Cramp Ship Building Company
Of Philadelphia for the ninth payment on the
new cruiser Newark and a check was mailed to
that firm amounting to s102,S00. There are
ten payments stipulated for, each amounting to
$4,000, but there was deduction of
90, 700 made from this payment as a penalty
for non-completion within the contract time
The ship was to have been completed on the
9th of last October, and since then she has
been accruing penalties at rates rang
ing from $50 to 600 day. There
is no indication to show when
the next payment will be made, but there
will undoubtedly be a considerable reduction
on account of penalties. which are now at the
maximum, having reached that point in May.
The eighth payment was made on
the Sd Of April The vessel will
probably be almost year
behind time. The San Francisco was con-
tracted for by the Union Iron Works of San
Francisco at the same time as the Newark but
has been drawing penalties for only a month
She will have her official trial before the lapse
of another month.

UNSETTLED NAVAL CONTRACTS.
1t is Expected That Secretary Tracy VIII
Decide the Matter Monday.

No decision has yer been reached as 10 the
award Of the contract for the new armored
cruiser for which bids were opened at the
Navy Department on Tuesday, but it is ex-
pected that the Secretary will make known his
conclusion on Monday. There are a good
many varying opinions at the department
as to the probabilities in the case
and the identity Of the successful bidder Is a
matter of deep mystery. The affair was dis
cussed at the cabinet meeting yesterday, but
apparently nothing was done. There is a be-
lief that the Secretary does not want to
crowd up any of the yards with work
so that they will be indisposed
TO bid on the forthcoming battle ships In
other words. that he wants to insure open
competition on these vessels and il is in view
of that that the theory has sprung up
that he wants to divide the
two vessels recently proposed for be-
tween the two large establishments. Mr.. Scott
the president of the Union Iron Works. says
that even If he should get the contracts for
both of the cruisers he could easily take two
OF the battle ships.

WINDING. UP THE COUNT.
The Time for Enumerating the People
Will be Extended a Little.

Tonight the work of taking the census in
large cities is supposed to end. Two weeks
was the time allotted for taking the census in
the cities and a month in the country. 1t is
not likely that the enumeration will be COM
pleted in the cities by tonight and the time
will be extended into next week, when the fif-
teen days, which is the construction placed
upon the term two weeks, will expire
Thus far but few returns have been received
at the Census Office. A few districts
were sent in from New York city day before
yesterday. and today the returns from about a
dozen districts in Philadelphia and also in
Pittsburg were received. The flow of returns
is expected to begin next week.
Supervisor Dingman of this city has already
sent In sixty districts and before the day closes
he expects to increase that number There are
now over 100 districts when the returns are all
completed. Mr.. Dingman feels confident that
all the returns will be in early next week
superintendent Porter thinks that the results
Of the census in this city will be the first as
certalned.
