CARRIERS CAUGHT.
WHOLESALE DECAPITATION En-
PECTED IN CHICAGO.
Charges Have Been Filled Against
One Hundred and Seventy-Three
Men-CarefuI Detective Work.

CHICAGO, Oct. ia special to the
Times-HeraId from Washington says
that the mail which left Washington
last night for Chicago carried 173 let
tiers Which will create an earthquake
in the Chrcago postoffice. They were
sent by the first assistant postmaster
general and were addressed to letter
CARRIERS in Chicago. They notify 173
men that charges nave been filed
against them sufficient to cause dis
mislsal from the service and that they
will be given ten days to SHOW cause
why they should not be removed.
DereFictio of the most serious ma
ture have been discovered among the
letter CARRIERS. Even some of the
subordinate officials of the Office have
been caught in the net. The news
Will come to Postmaster HessinS and
the carriers themselves like lightning
from d clear sky.
The state of affairs disclosed in the
Chicago office and sub-stations mas
astonished the officers of the postoff1ce
department in Washington. The ser
vice has been found even worse than
it was in philadelphia, where a whole
sale clearing out and reorganization
was necessary.
For a period of twenty-eight days,
beginning September 6, a large force
of special secret agents of the post
Office department. conducted a syste-
matte espionage of the Chicago letter
carriers. When the reports of the spec
ial agents were all in, 1T was found
that 800 carriers had been reported.
The cases of 173 were serious enough
to demand attention individually.
1T cannot be told until their eXplana-
tions are made how many of these car
riers will be removed. 1t is safe TO
guess, however, that at least fifty will
be removed and probably fifty more
will be placed on the substitute list.
Others will be suspended from five to
twenty days. according to the gravity

THE OPENING Gun.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The first large
mass meeting of the campaign was
held held in Cooper Union tonight I'M
der the auspices Of the Republican
club. The principal speakers were eX-
Senator Warner Miller and Hon.
Charles Emery Smith. editor Of the
Philadelphia Press. EIihu Root pre-
s,,dea. The most interest centered in
the speech of Senator Miller, the au-
t.1or of the Sunday plank in tae state
Platform He prefaced his remarks by
SPY ing shat no one but himself was
responsible for that. He said that the
Republican party had done more for
home rule than the Democrats and
that the Democratic demand for nome
rule was merely for making Sunday
and excise laws. power which he de,
c!ared belonged to the state. The local
option had been tried in the slavery
question and resulted in a bloody war.
The personal liberty cry was simply
to enable Tammany to levy infamous
taxes. The continental beer garden
might be a good thing for Europe. but
Sunday opening in New York meant
crimes and murders.

WASHINGTON.-The navy department
is now engaged in a, correspondence with
the Pacific Mail Steamship company,
with the object of securing the return of
or compensation for about $4,000 worth
of property. Three years ago the Pacific
Mail steamer New York was cast away
lust outside of the Golden Gate. AS
wrecking appliances We're lacking at the
sine, the company borrowed from the
Mare Island navy yard a quantity of
chain cable with which to raise the ship.
The effort failed and good deal of the
chain which had been passed under the
bottom of the ship with which to make a
cradle was left at the bottom Of the sea.
Then ayy department has been endeavor-
ing to cause the company TO recover this
chain, or pay its value, which is esti-
mated at $4,000, and although the COM
pany has promised to do one thing or
the other, so far it has failed to keep
it's promise.

MOURNS Ills WEDDING "PANTs. -
Mr.. Emmons the Victim of SILENT
stepping Gentleman Burglar.

Seattle has a gentlemanly burglar-one
who is discriminating to the extreme and
who can go through wardrobe while a
person sleeps, not even causing him 10
stir in his slumbers. This exceptional
burglar visited the residence CT X. w.
Emmons. at Beacon Hill, Sunday night.
With a delicate touch he opened a win
dow on the ground floor and then made
his way TO the room where Mr.. Emmons
was sleeping. He went to the wardrobe
and singled out Mr. Emmons' wedding
trousers. In those trousers we're 20 cents,
a chain with keys attached and pock-
etbook with papers enclosed. Mr.. Thief
took off the chain and keys and placed
them on table. He looked over the pock-
ethook. and, not finding money, placed II
beside the keys. Then he wrapped up the
trousers-AIr. Emmons' wedding trousers
and went away. Right I'm his path were
two gold headed silk umbrellas, silverware
and other vaiuables. Not thing was
touched except those trousers and the 80
cents. Mr.. Emmons Is in mourning.
