BREAD FOUR CENTS A LOAF.
Washington Bakers Inaugura.e Movement ci
Great Importance to the People.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2G.--The bakers Of
Washington have reduce d the price of bread
from 5 to 4 cents per leaf. Although only
apparently of local interest, this actlon viii!
have an Important effect throughout the
country. The newspapers of Washington
called attention some weeks ago to the tact
that the price of heat was never lower III
in th1 history of the country anl thSt the
price of fl our was from $3.50 to So per
barrel, az against s. some years ago. Not
outstanding this enormous reduction, the
retail price of bread remains the same as
when flour was more than 100 pr cent.
higher.
The bakers at first claimed that they pay
such high wages, owing to the jonrneyman 8
union that they could not afford to lower
the price of bread. An investigation of
this claim showed it to have hut little foun-
d .ti)n, though bakers are giving more thsn
they u.ed TO, but not enough to interfere
with the cost of bread. 1t was then insisted
that other materials than -four we're uged,
and thus added to the price. But this, too,
fell to the ground on analysis.
Finally he bakers were driven into n
cor er " here they had to admit that they
had been practically robbipg the public and
making profit of such enormous percent
age thst the householders would be jusi-
fed in starting a cooperative bakery. The
auihori les will see that neither the quality
nor the weight of the bread st the reduced
price is changed from that which was OBJ
tanned at the FIVE cent rate.

of the ministers, where he Will tencer his
resignation to the Emperor.
TIE report that Chancellor Won Caprivi
las landed in his resignation to the En-
peror is confirmed. Count In Eulenburg
president of the ministerial council, has re-
signed. Doctor Miguel, Prussian finance
minister, has been appointed president Of
the council, and Prince Won Hohenlohe
Sbillingsfurst, the governor of Alsace-Lor-
raine, has been offered the chaDce!lorship.
Before Offering the chancellorsbip to Prince
Hohenlohe, Emperor William consultf
with the envoys from Bavaria, Wurtem-
berg. Ssxony and Baden. 1t is reported
that Prince Hohenlohe declined the office
owing to bis age.
The Emperor summoned Gen. Count
Waldersee, the political soldier conspicuous
in the fnsl intrigue against Bismarck. The
general inference is that ne int nds to make
him Caprivi's successor. Should Waldersee
become chancellor the office of Prussisn n
Premier would probably be given him sholt-
ly, thus division of the posts effected at u e
time of the school bill crisis, would be
ended. There's rumor that Gen. Bron-
zart Won Schellendorf is a candidate for Il e
Prussian premiership and ohancellorship.
Either of these generals would be accept
able to the conservatives, who have become
totally estranged from the governmf MT
under the Capriyi regime. The immediate
cause of Chancellor Won Caprivi's resgna-
ton is not entirely clear. 1t is known that
differences between him and Count Bolo
Ia Gutenberg have grown too sharp to be
ignored or compromised. Caprivi at first
was strongly opposed to the severe steps
against the social democrats and Anarchists
Eulenburg favored extreme measures.
Under pressure from the Emperor the
chancellor is said to have yielded sever Il
points early in the week, but his master only
got him in,o trouble with the federal min
lsters, in whose council he presided yester-
day. Several ministers opposed his
proposal that the Reichstsg amend
penal code to deal more severely
with the socialists. Individual states, they
said, should be left to legislate within their
own borders for the suppression of social
democracy and anarchy. The chancellor
was equally embarrassed when the question
of financial reforms was broached. The
ENJOYS made several demands for chang 8
in the finsncial relations of state and en-
pire. The chancellor was manifestly
out of sympathy with all. Ca
privi is believed 70 have been
crushed between the Emperor and the fed
eral ENJOYS, not going far enough to suit
the former and going too far to suit the
latter. The difficulties of his position were
increased by the intrigues of Miguel and
Gutenberg who for more than year spared
no effort TO discredit his policies and dimin-
ish his influence with The crown.

missioner Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 26-Theodore Hoose'
yelt, civil service commissioner, has SUD-
mitted report to the commission OF MS
findings in the Investigations he has mace
tt Pittsburg of charges that federal o1llce-
holders have been guilty of cocrcing EN-
ployes to make campaign contributions.
Mr.. Roosevelt says that the Internal
revenue office, being without the civil
service Law. is used as cog in the ma
chime of whichever party may be i'll power
Mr., Kearns, the collector, is described as
Congressman Siblcy's man, and =. is de-
clared that while he has not violated the
law, the Office has been run on the spolis
system. MIR. Roosevelt recommends that
internal revenue Offices be put in the
classified servicc.
Where there are Democratic congress
men within the territory of the internal
revenue district, the appointments are
made by those congressman. Congress
man Sibley. it is said, had not been fortu-
nate in receiving appointments as other
mon, because his views did not coincide
with the appointing power.
The men appointed Mr. Roosevelt says,
were ward workers, and while not COM
PEELED to pay anything, had probably con-
tributed $1,000 or $1,000 to the campaign
fund. He recommends that internal rev.
enue offices be put in the classified service.
Postmaster O'Donnell is found to be
scrupulously obeying the civil service law,
but Mr. Roosevelt says that it is to be re-
gretted that he did not state publicly at the
time
Assessments Were Attempted
in his office what he has since stated to
the commission, viz: That he had no
hand in making these assessments and
that he would not discharge employees for
refusing to contribute to the campaign
fund.
The treasurer of the Democratic com
mittee wrote letters to the postoftice en-
ployes asking them to call upon him, and
then solicited contributions from them
The treasurer, the report says, declared
that he has violated no law and has kept
within the opinion of Attorney General
Olney.
Mr. Roosevelt recommends that con
gress be asked to make it unlawful to So
licit contributions from federal otlicehold
ers anywhere, and he asserts that the So
licitations of the treasurer OF the Demo-
cratic committee amounts to blackmail.
