PACIFIC MAIL CONTRACTS,
Considering the Question of Penalty
for Violation.

The question of inficting penalty On the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company for its
violation of the terms of the contract for
carrying the mails between New York and
Colon and San Francisco and Hong Kong
is under consideration by Postmaster Cen
eral Bissell The contract went into opera-
ton February l, 1892. and provided for ten
years service. The schedule required three
trips month between New York and Colon
Tor the first two years and once week for
the remaining period. Between San Fran
cisco and Hong Kong the contract provided
Tor thirteen trips a year during The first
TWO years and twenty-six for the remain
ing eight years. As the required change
mas not been made by the company, Super
lntendent OF Foreign Mails Brooks brought
the matter to the attention Of the Post
master General a few days ago and the lat
ter has had conferences on the question
with Second Assistant j. I.owrie Bell The
penalty is discretionary with the Postn1a s.
ter General. 1t is possible that the con-
tract viii be Cancelled resulting in the p;y-
ment TO the company according to weight
OF mails carried instead OF on the rlilea ge
oasls. The company is now paid 81 a mile
Tor outward trips, no compensation being
paid for mails carried on return voyages

Stone walked to the gallows without ?
tremor and met his doom without a word of
excuse for his horrible crime.
The animal in his nature vas exhibited
to the last moment. His neCl; was broken
by the fall and there was 40 increment
Of the body after he passed through the

Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt is
now collecting information regarding the
personnel Of the democratic state central
committee of Connecticut. which lately is
sued circular addressed to the federal and
state officers Of that commonwealth The
circular requested funds for campaign pur-
poses and carried a graduated assessment
of from L. to 10 per cent according to
the salary received by each official. Within
lhe past Few days copies of the circular
nave been laid before the civil service COM
mission 1t Will also be ascertained whether
any members of the committee are officers
or the government and also the method of
distributing the circular. The issuance of
such circulars, where the purpose is spe-
cihcally for political purpose. is punishable
both by fine and Imprisonment The law is
very Specfflc. IL says that no employe of
the government shall directly or indirectly
solicit or receive, or be in any manner con-
cernsd In soliciting any assessment sub
scrlptlon or contribution for any political
purpose whatever from any person receiv-
ing a salary from the United States treas
ury'
The law further provides that mo person

pose whatever" The penalty for viola ting
the foregoing provisions is a fine not ex-

Sun, is Henry Goddard. collector of Gus
toms at Bridgeport. While 1t Is not charged
that Mr.. Goddard sent out the circular mis-
connection with the committee makes him
smenabls to the law, and Commissioner
Roosevelt IS quoted this morning as saying
that the commission had clear case
against Mr.. Goddard. The members of the
committee who are not federal officials are
also liable to prosecution, it is claimed. in
esmuch as In one case the circular was
house.
1t Is understood that Mr.. Roosevelt or
some other member of the committee will
proceed to Connecticut after further data
shall have been received by them, and per-
gonallY inyestixate the case

MUNICIPAL BUILDING
Mr.. Bankhead Agrees That This
City Needs One Right Away.
He VISITS THE DISTRICT BUILDING
He lnspects the Crowded Rooms
and Smells the Smells.
THE MARKET SITE PLAN

The chances are favorable for a new Dis
,rtct building.
Yesterday afternoon Chairman Bankhead
Of the House committee on public buildings
and grounds visited the District lNildipg
and. In company with Commissioner Ross
made careful investigation OF the situa-
uon there. Each room was visited and the
work of several offices. together with the
number of persons employee ed. .ex planned When
the investigation concluded Mr.. Bankhead
SAID the situation had not been overdra wn.
The District did need a new municipal
building. and needed one badly. He said
further that the committee of which he was
chairman had decided TO favorably report a
DilI Ior a new municipal building. and he
requested the Commissioners to submit
pans and specifications, together with a
OH 10 be presented authorizing the con-
Sruction OF same.
lie told Commissioner Ross in the prepa-
ration OF the bill to put in a sum that
would insure for the District a home worthy
o. the national capital. He thought further
that II the plans were made to suit the site
now owned by the District in front of the
market house the chances for the enact
ment OF the bill would be better, for il
would DO away with the opposition that
would certainly follow were the building
constructed about the city hall. Commits
sioner Ross stated that already the District
architecI, Mr.. John b. Brady, had made
tIaporatc plans for a building this site
wren had received the approval of the for
mef board OF Commissioners and which
wo-li be sent to Con gress for the info ma
ton OF the committee having the matter in
charge.
The Market Site.
The Commissioners were highly .elated
over the suggestion of Mr.. Bankheal, and
Set about at once preparing a bill. 1t is
understood that they will ask for s1,25D.OOO
10 do the work
IL will be recalled when the subject Of
new municipal building was first broached,
and the site in front OF the Center Market
was selected as the most practicable the
representatives Of the Market Company ap-
peared before the Commissioners and stated
that they would be willing 10 withdraw
whatever claim the Market Company had to
eighteen feet in the rear of the reservation
II the Commissioners would allow the com
rany to widen the two approaches TO the
market As this seemed the wisest solution
or the problem. the Commissioners readily
assented. and now Architect Brady claims
there IS ample room on this reservation up-
on which to erect municipal building The
star mas already published a plan OF the
building. as proposed by Mr.. Brady, and the
Commissioners will send the same to Con-
gress during the early part of next week

CRIME OF TRAIN ROBBERS
Wreck of a Southern Pacific Express in
California.
Explosion of n Dynamite Bomh-Fir-
Sent to the Rescue.

Los ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 16-Southern
Pacific train No. % was robbed at Roscoe
Station this morning about l o'clock
This is the place that the same train was
robbed about six weeks ago. The train was
delayed in lie wing here and did not get
away until II 30 last night 1t was heavily
loaded with passengers and the Wells-Far-
go Company shipments were unusually
heavy.
the train reached Burbank. about six
miles north of this city. and reported back
all right At Roscoe, four miles north of
Burbank. there is no station but a siding.
AS the train approached the switch En-
glneer Thomas saw. too late, that the
switch was misplaced and vainly tried to
stop the train. but he could not 10 it, and
the engine and two fruit cars of oranges
went into the ditch. the engine turning
over and burying the engineer and fireman
The two fruit cars We're a total wreck
AS soon as the wreck occurred three
masked men sp-ang up out of the bushes
and commenced a fusilade and every one
knew that the mission of the ,iesperadoes
was robbery.
"A Few seconds later a couple of dvna-
mite bombs were placed under the express
car. The messenger refused to open the
C. anu 'ne WnOle Slue was blown Oft.
brakeman Foster rose to the emergency
as soon as he heard the shots and made d
run for neighboring ranch, where lie saw
light.
Here he got a team and drove back to
burbank and gave the alarm He cannot
tell now much the robbers got but il is
probable that they cleaned out the express
car. as they had their own way when lie
left.
lie said that Engineer Thomas was badly
hurt, as well as the fireman, and DR.. Aims
worth, the company's surgeon here. left On
light engine for the scene. Foster could
not tell whether any passengers were hurt
but thought that they We're only badly
shaken.
Two posses of deputy sheriffs have lust
left for the scene, and a wrecking train is
now making up to clear the track. Foster
has an idea that Evans and Morrell may
nave participated in the affray, but as there
were three men, this was hardly deemed
possible. fusilade of pistol shots was
continuously kept up, and IL is not unlikely
! tfat some Of the train crew or passengers
may have been hurt before they found out
what the matter was
1t is almost certain that the express mes
serger was hurt, as the two explosions of
dynamite bombs were said to have been
terrific.
