Senator Sherman and his assos

have rf5e purchases of silver stopped
but will not 80 much as make a
motion toward repeal of the act
of 1899, will have greater moral
responsi bility for the evil that may

their patriotism, is open and

TO PREVENT ROBBERIEs.
A New Order I'm Regard to Entering
Railway Postal Stations.

The recent robberies of railway post
offices by persons other than postal en-
ployes, has resulted in the issuance of an
order by James E. White superintendent
of the railway postal service, revokin;, all
admissions by permit to railway postoiIices
issued for the current year. except those
granted to Senators, Representatives, ex-
Postmaster Generals, and railroad en-
ployes whose duties require them to have n
right of ingress and egress to and from
postal cars. All permits not already ex-
pired are declared to be void, and must be
taken up, upon presentation, by the clerk
in charge, who shall deliver them to his d.
vision superintendent for cancellation.
The order also sets forth that the follow
Ing persons only in addition to the classes
above mentioned, shall be admitted here
after to railway post offices: Clerks on ac-
tual duty, including city distributors as
signed to duty as such; the Postmaster
General, post office inspectors, who shall be
required by the clerk in charge to show
commissions; chief clerks, assistant chief
clerks. examiners of the railway mail SER
vice, who shall be compelled to show proper
credentials; transfer clerks in the discharge
Of official duties. such as supervising the
loading and unloading of mails and receiv-
ing and delivering registered matter; train
conductors and railroad men in the per-
formance of their legitimate duties, and
such other persons as shall present permits
issued subsequent to August 16.
Clerks not on duty. even though &C
creulteu 10 the line over winch they are
passing, must not be permitted to ride in or
enter the railway post office.
This order is a sequence of the important
Stewart arrest which was made a few
weeks ago in the Chicago division. 1t was
the case of a dismissed clerk who had a
habit Of revisiting those who had been his
comrades. 1t is said that he would chat
with his friends and pilfer a package of
letters when the occasion presented. This
discovery, 1t is said. opened up to the postal
inspectors a vast field of vision and gave
a probable explanation of several mysteries,
In a case of the kind cited 1t is difficult to
detect the offender. When letters are
missed they are traced to the run of a GER
tain clerk. Suspicion is directed to him.
He is watched until belief in his guilt or
innocence is established When the deed is
done by an outsider the case becomes COM
plicated and suspicion is aimed at guilt
less party. The present order is designed
to reduce danger of robbery by outside peo-
pie to a minimum. The order becomes op-
erative at once.

Naval Payments.

The Secretary of the Navy has made the
FIRST payment of $3.50 to Cramp Il Co. on
account Of the construction Of the cruiser
Brooklyn. He has also paid the same arm
Se.T4 for furnishing and fitting out the
cruiser New York. This is the first vessel
Of the new navy fitted out by the con-
tractors who constructed IL. instead Of by
the government at a navy yard. The de-
parture from the usual practice was due TO
the desire of Secretary Herbert TO have the
vessel equipped while her construction was
in progress in order 10 expedite her conn.,
pletion. His original idea was TO have her
ready for the Columbian naval celebration.

RECRUITING LIVELY,
Large Number of Men ENLISTED and
They Are of Good STANDING,


They Are of Good Standing.
Reports received by the adjutant general
or the army indicate that recruiting has
been unusually lively during the past two
months. The summer months always find
the enlisted strength Of the army mate
rally lessened. the men who would ordi-
narily enlist finding ready employment on
farms. This year the force is within 600 of
Its required strength. and the men who are
accepted are Of good standing. This con-
dition enables the authorities to choose
their recruits and the standard has been
kept up. Most Of the recruits are found
near Chicago. but many of them in ana
about New York and Boston. Regimental
recruiting has furnished a great many ex-
cellent men for the army and several of
the regiments In the north are able to keen
up their enlisted force by sending out re-
cruiting parties to towns near the posts
The assertions have dropped off to less
than per cent, a rate which is easily in
creased by local influences, which are i'm
possible to account for and meet by any
general rules OF prevention. The main
drain on the army is by regular discharge
and by purchase at the end of three years
and five years. Discharges from the army
by these two means have been heavy and
1t Is only the unusual recruiting the last
two months which has kept up the en-
listed force.

More Post Office Frauds.

The post office inspectors are in receipt
of a telegram from Chattanooga, Tenn,
stating that Inspector Bulla had arrested
John Star of Griffin, Ga. on a charge of
rifiing the mails. Nothing further is known
about the case at the department. The
report of the inspector making the arrest
will be received within a few days 1t is
expected to contain interesting reading as
there is lurking suspicion among the in
spectors that the case is an important one.
They do not desire to talk much about it
now, because the arrest just made may
not be the one they have been looking for
and they would betray some of their plans.
Inspector Bulla has been at work on the
case for considerable period and has the
reputa ton of being a very shrewd man.

Trade Opportunities With Germany

According to Consul Gen Mason at
Frankfort, Germany, who has just made a
report to the State Department concerning
the high tariff decreed by Germany and
Russia against each other, the commerce
between the two countries in some lines OF
merchandise is practically suspended, and
an opportunity which should be CRITICALLY
INVESTIGATED. MIR. Mason says that not
only Will Germany cease to draw from
Russia the supplies OF rye and petroleum
every year. amounting to many million dol
lars, but owing to the drought, will have a
serious deficit this year In her own home
crop OF grain, which will call for a very

To Coin Small Change Into Dollars

The net balance IN the treasury, IN adj

only s11,500,000, and treasury officials are
considering means of increa sing it. There
is in the treasury about s12. 600 900 in subsi-

made to coin these half and quarter dollar
silver pieces into silver dollars. and put
them in circulation. 1t is believed they

CLAIMS TWO ISLANDS
Which He Says the British GOvern-
ment Illegally Seized.


Mr.. Henry J. Moore. an American citizen,
residing in Apia. Samoa, has had several
conferences recently with Secretary Gresh-
am and Mr.. Dabney, solicitor of the State
Department, with the view of having this
government take an interest in his claim
against the British government for dam
ages growing out of the alleged illegal seiz-
ure by that country of two islands in the
South Pacific ocean about six months ago.
Mr.. Moore asserts that the islands in ques-
ton, which are called Sopia and Nassau,
belonged to him at the time of their seizure
by Great Britain, he having regularly pur-
chased the former from II. NJ. Ruge and
Company of Hamburg and the latter from
John f. Eliot. an American trader, who
discovered 1t fifteen years ago, and held 1t
up to the time Of its sale to Moore. The
islands embrace about 1900 acres each, and
are said to be rich in guano deposits. The
claim Is being investigated at the State De-
partment but Is not likely to result In any
fresh complications with the British gov
eminent.
