ROOSEVELT INDIGNANT.
He Don't Like the Way the Po St
master G. Gsneral Ia liked.

I1S ION Like Lle way the 10 ST.
master General Ia liked.
WAsHINGroN, April 26-Clvn Service
Commissioner Roosevelt. fresh from eulo-
giving the administration at Boston, is
naturally indignant at the way in which
his report on the Baltimore investigation
was aspersed by the distinguished repre-
reSentative Of the administration, Post
master General WauamAker yesterday, in
his statement before the House committee
on civil service reform. When he has oare-
fully read the statement Of the Postmaster
General, as it was taken down by the official
steuographer, and as it will be printed by
the public printer. he may intimate TO the
committee on civil service reform his desire
to be heard in defense Of his
report, and indeed of himself, and indeed Of
the civil service commission. He will, OF
course, be invited by the committee to ap-
pear, and then, he says, maintain and sus-
tain his report paragraph by paragraph, as
though IL was nn indictment. He scouts
the idea that the postotllce employees did NOT
understand the questions put to them by
him, or that they did not realize what au-
swers they made. He denies
emphatIcally the statement that
the questions and answers were
not correctly reported by the stenographer.
The analysis which he will present to the
committee of the statement made by the
Postmaster General will be as interesting as
he can make 1t. When ne gets through he
is likely to be more than ever persona
non grdtd to the administration which he
tries so hard to praise. He will not, how
ever. be removed

He Is Charged With Malfeasance For
Sales of Stamps.
MACON, Ga, April 26.-John B. Roberts,
postmaster at Sandersville, Washington
county, is in trouble. He has managed to
increase the annual income of his office very
considerably for number of years. but he
was arrested yesterday and is now under
bond for malfeasance In office. Roberts
belongs to a good family and the affair has
created sensation, though Roberts aud
his friends say that no fraud was
perpetrated. The statute prohibits
postmaster sfrom selling stamps
away from his Office, but it seems that
Roberts has paid his accounts and sent re-
mittances in stamps. A package Of $500 or
S4OO worth Of stamps being stolen from the
Atlanta express Office a few days ago ex-
cited the suspicion of postoffice inspector,
who Investigated and found that it came
from Saudersville. Roberts was watched. 1t
was discovered that he often sent packages
OF a like amount to Atlanta and Macon.
He was arrested and told his story very
plainly. He often sent money to relatives
in these cities in stamps instead of in money
on paid bills in the same way, and as profit
on the sale Of the stamps he made a nice
discount on all the transactions. It is cal
culated that the income Of his office was
thus illegally increased by about 5000 per
ennum. 1t is said that other charges will
be preferred against Roberts when the case
comes up for trial in the United States
court here.

Mr. Hunter Moves Second Reading Of
Bill Now Before Parliament.
LONDON, April 26-In the House Of
Commons this evening Mr.. Hunter moved
second reading of the bill providing that
desertion or adultery on the part of either
party to a marriage contract shall be
ground for divorce. Attorney General
Webster opposed the bill. saying that there
were many practical reasons against ex-
tending the facilities for obtaining divorce.
Mr.. Kelly opposed the bill on
the ground that in the United
States, where he said divorce
could be obtained in some parts for few
dollars, the practice was viewed with horror
by the better section of the American
people, who felt that the law of divorce In
the United States was scandal. MIR. Kelly
said he hoped that Great Britain would not
follow America, but would uphold the
sanctity of marriage. Mr.. Hunters motion
was rejected by a vote of 7lzto 40.

Special to the Globe
Mu.BANK, $. d., April 15.-Interest
today attending the opening Of the Sis
seton reservation was great, but there
was no particular excitement. A special
train left this city west Oh the main
line with laudseekers, a sheriH's posse
and spectators for the western part OF
the county, where are three townships
in the reservation. On arrival thcr e
was great rush for claims, but no
trouble. A special train left Oh the
Wilmot line with about 100 spectators
and landseekers, and at Wilmot
ABOUT 100 more boarded the train. At
the reservation line they were met by a
guard OF soldiers, VINO kept the train
and teams back until high noon, when,
at the signal of firing guns, grand
rush ensued of men on horseback and
in teams. The train proceeded to the
new station Of Bush, at the end Of the
track, six miles inside the reservation
line, where an exciting race commenced
towards desirable lands north and east
Every landSeeker had a spade and a
few provisions. The principal rush
was made by agents of the Wilmot
Land and Locating company, who sue
ceeded in stalking out claim for the
Town Site OF SIssetOn
on the survey Of the Milwaukee road at
point nine miles beyond the end of the
track and about thirty-seven miles from
Milbank. Quite a number who failed
to secure claims returned to Mlbank.
Altogether the day was highly interest
ing and attended with numerous spir-
tied Incidents. Included in the van
guard of civilization which reached IN
darn soil at the station at the end OF the
track was a soap fakir and cappers, who
let down number i'm the crowd and re-
Iieyed them Of their spare cash. The
next thing of interest will be when the
men who filed at Watertown arrive on
the scene to claim the land, but there is
no doubt whatever but that the squat
ters will hold.
