CYCLONIC CHANGES.
The Postoffice Department to Be
ReorganiZed.

WASHINGTON, July IL. - The post
office department is about to have a
cyclonic reorganization. In the first
place, the appointment division will
be taken from the office of the first
assistant postmaster general and de-
livered over bodily to the fourth assist
ant. whose Office was created by law, to
take effect July l. The first assistant
must be acting postmaster general a
great deal Of the time. and in order to
do this he must be freed from the
drudgery and toll of examining fourth
class postoffice cases for appointment,
changes of site, light and clerk hire, etc.
The chief clerk of the department
will report to the first assistant upon all
matters of departmental business, in
stead of, as heretofore, taking up the
time of the postmaster general with
matters of petty detail. Other changes
will occur in the Offices of the second
and third assistant postmaster general,
which, taken as whole, will make an
almost entirely new department of that
executive branch of the government.

erhood of Railway Conductors held
meeting last night to hear the report of
William Quinn, chairman of the griev-
ance committee which went to Chicago
to interview the heads of departments

refused to give any reason for its action.

COULD NOT AGREE.
No Settlement of the FinIey-AIton
Fight.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE meeting of
general managers of the Western Pass
senger association is thing of the past
and absolutely no progress has been
made toward a settlement of the ques-
ton on which Chairman Finley and
the Alton road are at logger
heads. 1t was demonstrated at
the morning session that a major
ity of the roads maintained their
opposition to the Alton's policy in the
controversy, and were disposed to sus-
tain the chairman at all hazards. This
was made so clear to General Manager
Chapel, of the Alton, that he did not
attend the afternoon session at all, and
the other managers, after half hours
informal discussion Of the subject. ad-
jOurned without reaching any conclu-
sion.
Thus the movement to restore har-
mony through the Intervention of the
general managers fell fat. While the
Rock Island and the Chicago, St. Paul

Alton's position, the Chicago & North

the probability of its truth, the report

Old timers think there is no game in
the country, but to anyone just from the
East it seems different, as MI. Ed Drum
mond can testify. He carries the mail
from hers to Little Bear creek. a distance
of thIrty-one miles, going out one day
and back the next with a one horse rig.
Mr.. Drummond came from New York
city only three months since. He thinks
this country quite wild and is much
pleased with it. He tells of seeing lots
OF game on his trips, such as bald eagles,
cayotes, etc. Last Sunday he went fishing
in Little Bear creek and caught a beauti.
ful speckled trout over fifteen inches long
and weighing two pounds.
He says the young bloods of New York
spend lots Of time every summer up in
the Adirondack mountains without see
ing as much game as he does on one trip,
and never catch such fish as the one he
caught Sunday. Mr.. Drummond spent
some tim in Denver but likes Cheyenne
better than any place he has yet seen.

THE RIGHT OF DOVER.
1t Is Not Recognized so far as
Wyoming Is Concerned.
The Edmunds- Tucker Law Applies
Only TO Utah.
An Interesting Decision Rendered
by the Supreme Court.

An extremely interesting decision was
handed down by the supreme court yes
terday. Tie opinion was written by Chief
Justice Groesbeck. but was concurred in
by Judge Conawsy and Judge Scott. The
latter occupied a place on the bench
because Judge Merrill had been interested
as an attorney in the case which was
decided. The opinion is a very elaborate
affair. It covers twenty eight pages of
typewriter matter and discusses at length
the various important phases OF the
question. A brief synopsis OF the case
can only be presented here.
The case was that of Mrs. France, wife
of the late James France of Rawlins,
who failed in business a short time
previous to his death. Mrs. France
brought suit to recover dover in the real
estate which her husband has assigned 10
John W. Conner and VIM. r. Brown for
the benefit OF creditors. The question
was first passed upon by Judge Corn in
the district court for Carton county, who
decided that n married woman had no
dover in the then territory of Wyoming.
This decision the supreme court affrms.
The Edmunds-T Tucker act, which became
a law March 3, 1887 without the pres
ident's signature, conferred the right Of
dover on married woman, but the section
does not state where it is to be applied.
The court held, first, that the section
containing the words the territory" re-
ferred to the right of alien widows to
hold property and hat those words had
reference to the last preceding section,
which relates to Utah alone.
Second. That there was no repeal OF
any law Of any territory relating to dover
as Is the usual course of congressional
legislation when annulling or disposing Of
an act of a territorial legislation.
Third. That at the time the Edmunds-
Tucker act became a law there we're in
Washington. Idaho. Arizona and New
Mexico community property laws which
gave the wife and widow greater rights
than those of dover and that 10 the other
territories under the laws of descent and
succession the widow of an intestate re-
ceived a greater share of her husbands
estate than at the common law which
conferred dover and that congress never
intended to upset these laws and confer
lesser right or to add to the right of mar
ried women in those territories. OF all
territories then existing Montana alone
recognized dover.
Fourth. That the construction of the
law in all the territories except Montana
has been that the dover section has been
ignored and they have not changed their
system of laws to conform to the Ed
munds-Tucker law comforting dover.
This opinion overrules the Montana de.
cislon of 1888 bearing on the same ques-
ton Attorney General Potter appeared
for Mrs. France and Brown & Arnold and
Judge Lacey for the ~assignees of the
umpire and the substitution of Ed.
France estate. The case will be appealed.
