THE LANCASTER POST OFFICE.
What Gen. Jones Says Of the Result
of the investigation.

First Assistant Postmaster General Jones,
who, with Civil Service Commissioner
Roosevelt, conducted an investigation of the
Lancaster. Pa, post office. has returned to
Washington. After brief investigation,
Messrs. Jones and Roosevelt concluded that
the testimony was too conflicting to make
further investigation practicable or advisa-
BILE, and a report embodying that conclusion
will be submitted either to the President or
the Postmaster General. Accordingly, the
Post Office Department will accept the ex-
.sting condition of affairs at the post Office.
Postmaster Malone is practically sustained,
withdrawal or dismissal of charges having
been provided for. Concerning the investi-
cation Assistant Postmaster General Jones
said today:
"The post office will begin a clean slate,
and the department will hereafter require
strict observance of the law and justice I'M
der the civil service provisions and the
postal rules by and to all the employees.
Matters are to be leit as they are, and no
request for reinstatement is to be consider
ed. All charges should be considered as
withdrawn. This course will best subserve
the public interests. In the future no one
will be moleSted because of political or re-
ligious affiliations, and no employees in the
classified service allowed to take active part
in political work. They cannot run an elec-
tion or primary nor appear on the stump,
though they can. privately hold such polit-
ical opinions as they wish, and express
them In private, outside of office hours"

nail was received at the White House
this morning from the President at Gray
Gables, but the only thing of general in
terest contained in 1t was the commission of
William $. Marbury of Maryland as United
States district attorney for the district Of
Maryland. Mr.. Marbury was nominated to
this office April L., but Senator German
succeeded in preventing his confirmation,
Notwithstanding the fact that the judiciary
committee reported in his favor. Mr.. Mar
bury was one of the Cleveland leaders in
Maryland, end as such became prominent
as an opponent of the German wing Of the
party. The President made his acquaint-
ance and took quite fancy to him, so
much so that his appointment was looked
upon as purely personal one. Senator
German was offended by the nom ina ton
and made no secret OF his efforts to defeat
it. That he succeeded in preventing action
upon IL by the Senate is a matter of record.
Under his present commission Mr.. Marbury
can serve until the expiration of the next
session Of Congress and no longer, except
in the event Of his denomination and confr-
nation in the meantime.

PLAYING CARD STAMPS,
Two MffffOn Printed by the Bureau OF
Engraving and Prfntfnx.

buFeAu
Engraving and Prfntfng.
TWO million OF the new playing card
revenue stamps made necessary by the
tariff bill have been printed by the bureau
OF printing and engraving In the last two
weeks. This playing card tax is a revival
OF the old war taxes, and is a feature of
the new revenue act, which is making
much work for the officials. Every pack of
playing cards offered for sale, whether at
the manufacturers the wholesale dealers
or the retailers. must have a stamp aftixe ed
under penalty OF a heavy fine for selling
uhstamped cards. Consequently the COL
lectors are obliged to look over the stocks
OF all stores in their districts where cards
are ikely TO be kept, and see that every
pack pays revenue OF two cents to the
government. After the stocks now in hand
at the retailers have been sold out IL will
be easier to collect this tax, because all
CARDS can then be stamped In the first
place at the manufacturing establishments
Two varieties OF the stamps are being
printed, a red stamp. which, besides the
usual heading and denominations bears the
words " On hand, August, "a" and a blue
one for regular use. printed. Series of ':y4 ("
The designs are Very simple, consisting
only or a hand OF cards beside the fnscrip-
tions.
A change in the plates for all the internal
revenue stamps is being made by the bu-
words Series OF 1874 Will be displayed on
all The revenue stamps hereafter. Those
already Ia stock of the last series will not
be wanted, but will have the same words
stamped across the face, or will be sur
charged, as the technical term is.

Secretary MOrtOn's Letter.
DENVER, Col, September 4-The Denver
delegates to the irrigation convention were
stirred up by the receipt of the following
letter from Mr.. Morton. Secretary of Agri-
culture, In which he paid his respects to
the convention as follows:
''The questions considered by these frrf-
cation conventions have nothing to do with
practical irrigation. They amount simply
to the coming together Of body Of citizens
for the purpose of petitioning Congress for
grants of land and accession of whatever
control or ownership the general govern
ment may have OF the waters of the arid
region"
A delegate objected to the words of Mr..
Morton as an insult to the convention and
moved that the document be returned to
Washington.

maker and the letter was placed on file.

retary; II. V. Hinckley Of Kansas, second
assistant secretary.
Vice presidents from each state and ter
ritory were named. The report was unan-
imously adopted. Several resolutions were
introduced, which were referred to the
committee without debate. Among them
was one by Mr.. Pierce of Texas, who asked
that Congress be requested to appoint irrf-
CATION commissioners for the purpose of
agreeing upon the division of the waters of
the Rio Grande.
Mr. Dennis of Canada asked that Canada
be included in the resolution. 1t was agreed
to.

gone upon an excursion through the great
agricultural belt of northern Colorado At
the evening session addresses will be made

COAST AND DGEODETIC SURVEY
No Immediate Action Expected in the Mat
ter of the Superintendency.
Only Three Formal Applications Made
other Names Are Mentioned.

The officials OF the Treasury Department
do not expect any immediate action in the
matter of the superfntendency of the coast
and geodetic survey. The appointment is
entirely IN the hands Of the President, and,
so far as known, he has not yet given
the subject serious consideration. Prof. T.
e. Mendenhall. who will probably retain
the office until his successor shall have
been appointed and qualified, Is now in
Europe on leave of absence. He sailed
from New York July 5, and as he did not
expect to be gone much longer than two
months. II Is probable he Will soon return.
Before his departure from Washington he
placed mis- resignation at the Presidents
disposal but the matter has been kept
quiet in order to relieve the President from
the pressure of applicants that was ex-
pected to follow the announcement of a
vacancy in such lucrative office.
The action was entirely voluntary on the
part of Prof. Mendenhall, and was taken in
order to enable him to accept the presi-
tute of Massachusetts. No formal action
has yet been taken on his resignation, and it
will probably not be accepted until his Sue
cessor Is selected.
Three Applications on File.
There are at present but three applica-
tionS On file at the Treasury Department for
appointment to this prospective vacancy,
but there is legion of candidates who have
rot yet put their desire on record. Those
whose papers have been filed are Prof John
c. Underwood, formerly of Kentucky but
now of Illinois: Prof Richard NJ. Bache Of
Philadelphia, and Prof. l.. J. Boeck of West
Philadelphia. Among those mentioned in
connection with the office are Mr.. VIM. H.

turns to Washington, late in October.
