Fret Assistant Postmaster General
Makes His Report.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Frank III. Jones has made his annual re-
port for the year ending June 30, 1895.
Mr.. Jones shows that the divisions under
his supervision have saved during the
year 81 ,395,577, the principal items being
in the saving in the carrier service by
stopping overtime and reduction of the
force, amounting to 81 100000. The sal
aries of all presidential postmasters
amounted to s., ,S97 200, and the gross re-
ceipts of postofiices $50, O,53S,O97. Mr..
Jones recommended the abolition of ex-
perimental free delivery unless $10,0OO,-
600 is appropriated for the purpose; also
free rural delivery unless $4,000, 900 is
appropriated.
OF the espionage, investigation and dis
charge of carriers for cause Mr.. Jones
says that 3S5 carriers have been re-
moved. He reviews the conditions which
made the investigations necessary, the
principal one being that the accumulation
of overtime claims showed that something
was wrong. An estimate of $12, 2,9G0, 300
is made for the free delivery service next
year. The money order report shows that
there are 1861 domestic money order Of
fees and orders TO the amount Of $780,
7O9,OS9 were issued and $156, 1896
paid. Mr.. Jones recommends legislation
requiring clerks handling money order
business to give bonds.

Durrant's Doom Is Just.

The verdict of guilty in the Durrant
case was n foregone conclusion. Any
other outcome would have been universal
ly regarded as an inexcusable miscar-
riage of justice.-Kansas City Journal.
Durrant pronounced guilty on the first
ballot. 1t has been a remarkable trial
and a remarkable case, but those who
have read the reports of the trial will
not question the justice of the verdict
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
A special providence could not have
more surely provided that the guilt of the
murderer Durrant) should find him out.
Infiiction of the prescribed punishment
will be fitting close to one of the most
sensational cases ever tried in this or any
other country.-Detroit Free Press.
There is hanging in California. 1t is
restful to feel that having been fairly
convicted of murder in the first degree
and subjected to the penalty provided by
law, there will be no danger of Dur
rants being turned loose by executive
clemency" to prey upon the community
Milwaukee Wisconsin.
The Durrant case will go into history
as a cause celebre. The crime was re-
markable not only in its atrocity, but in
the deftness which the perpetrator en-
ployed to hide his identity, and the con-
viction of Durrant must stand as great
triumph. Durrant offered what can only
be termed a strong defense under the
circumstances. The mans demeanor dur
ing his long ordeal stamped him a most
extraordinary murderer.-Detroit Trib-
une.

WANTS COAST DEFENsEs.


Gen. Miles Says We Are InadeQuateIy
Protected at Seaport Places.
The annual report of Gen. Miles, COM
manding the army, has been made public.
The personnel j.. shown to be in excellent
condition, well instructed, efficient and
attentive to duty. Liberal appropriations
are required for public buildings at the
posts, many of which are out of repair.
Under the head of coast defenses Gen.
Miles states that the condition of these
defenses Is such as to require decided and
immediate action for their improvement.
The unguarded condition of our coast is
known by every first-class power, and our
people should not be led into false Sc
curity. He recalls what he said in his
report of 1889 upon the absolute import
ance of the defense of the entire Paciho
coast in view of the fact that it was pos
sible for any naval power to blockade ev-
cry important port within ninety days,
while it would take many years to make
a successful resistance, and the country
might be required to pay indemnity of
$4,000, 100000. While the railroads might
transport million brave men to the coast
they would be useless without appliances
to cope with the modern engines of war,
and with all our intelligence, pride, inven-
tive genius and enterprise we are as far
behind in the modern appliances of war as
China or Japan.
While he does not anticipate war in the
near future he shows that in the last 200
years in less than 10 per cent. of the wars
has there been any formal warning or
declaration before hostilities, and as it
would require years of time to construct
modern weapons of war it would be un-
wise to disregard the lessons of history.
In our own country, for nearly 200 years,
there has never been period of thirty
FIVE years in which it has not been in
volved in war. He points to the case of
China, which made the fatal mistake of
relying upon it's vastly superior numbers
for safety, and argues that the best guar
anty of peace is condition of readiness
for war. Touching the infantry, Gen.
Miles recommends the three-battalion or
ganization and regimental posts to keep
the companies of regiments together. He
thinks that at least one full regiment OF
cavalry should be assembled at Fort
Riley, Kansas, where field maneuvers
might be undertaken annually. To thor
oughly demonstrate the utility of bicycles
and motor wagons in the army it is rec
commended that force of twelve COM
panies be equipped with these devices, to
be manned from the 1000 officers and
men in the army able to use a bicycle,
which has been already found extremely
usaful

DARING EXPRESS HoLD-UP.
Robbers Secure $4,000 in Santa Fc
Depot at Colorado Springs.

Depot at Colorado Springs.
At Colorado Springs, Colo, two masked
bandits robbed the Wells-Fargo express
office Monday night of $4,000. They
presented revolvers to the head of Assist
ant Agent George Krout and compelled
him to open the safe. After they had
helped themselves they made their cs-
cape.
The Santa Fe fast Chicago train arrived
there at 9:42 and stopped. The agent,
George Krout, stepped out on the plat
form to attend to the express matter, and
after arranging everything waved his
hand at the messenger on the train and
it pulled out of the depot, south-bound
toward Pueblo. Waving parting salute
to the messenger, who stood in the door,
Krout turned to enter his own Office. AS
he crossed the threshold he saw two
forms in the far corner of the room. The
men had -four sacks over their heads.
Each figure held revolver and as the
agent entered he was ordered to throw up
his hands and give up the money in the
safe. As the men spoke they emphasized
their actions.
The agent passed back into the room,
where he was told to open the safe. When
the robbers first entered the place they
found $4,000 package lying on the
table. This Krout told them was all he
had, but he finally admitted that there
was $1,000 more in the safe. They forced
him to open the strong box and give the
$1,000, but when he closed the door he
shut in $4,000 that the robbers knew
nothing about. Krout was then made to
undress himself and go to bed and cover
himself up, and while lying there the
thieves made their escape.
The place where the robbery occurred
Is on the outskirts of the town east of
the city and is brilliantly lighted by great
arc electric lights on all sides. The place
where the money was kept was in small
house two hundred yards from the depot
and divided into two compartments.

Aid for the Poor.
The coming of cold weather has nl-
ready shown that the demands on the
philanthropists of the district will be
as great, if not greater, than last year.
During the summer what was known MS
the Pingree plan was tried. Land and
tools were lent to destitute able-bodied
persons, and they were given seeds, to
see If they could raise enough of crop
to keep them through the winter. The
superintendent has received reports from
twelve of such experimental lettings, and
only two of the number were failures.
1t is probable that the plan will be put
into far more general operation next
summer, as it appears to be a distinct
success. In the meanwhile q project is
on foot to establish number of credit
stores to sell the necessaries of life. This
will only benefit the destitute residents of
the district, and will be run upon the
honor plan. The person who draws sup
plies from the stores during the winter
will be expected to pay for them in sum-
mer, and the credit given will be with
the understanding that those who do not
pay when they get work will receive no
further public aid.
