FAST MAIL TO DETROIT.
American Mail Clerks Will Enter
Canada.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Thames
White, superintendent of the railway
mail service, returned today from Buff
faio, where he has been making ar
rangements for the fast mail service to
Detroit, which will necessitate running
postal cars with postal clerks across
Canadian territory. The new mail SER
vice will be put on about Dec. 10. The
Michigan Central road is the only bid
der for the service, and in fact it is the
only road that could carry the new
fast mail. The bid opened today and
the contract awarded to the Michigan
Central company at the same rate
which is paid for mail service in the
United States. When the subject was
first considered, the second assistant
postmaster general was of the opinion
that there was no warrant of law to
alloty United States officers to enter
Canadian territory in postal car, and
sugg =sted that the matter be referred
to the attorney general, but Post
master General Wilson decided imme-
diately that such a course was un-
nee ssary and ordered the service es-
. tabdshed. Some arrangements must
,,e made with both countries to con-
form to customs regulations, but no
difficulty is anticipated.

ALLEGED RASCALITY OF THOM-
AS BYRNES, EX-BOSS OF NEW
YORK POLICE.
BLACKMAILED GAMBLERS.
ONE TELLS OF REGULAR PAY
MENTS IN YEARS GONE
BY.
BYRNEs WAS A CAPTAIN THEN.
This Witness Had Kept Out of the
Way During the LeXOw In
YestfgatiOn.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE COM
missioners of accounts who nave
been investigating transactions of
the dock board for some
time turned today into the
field covered by the LeXow. commit
tee and brought forward testimony
which for the first time duplicates
Thomas Byrnes, the noted ex-super-
intendent of police, in the blackmail-
ing scandals. The accusing witness
was Christian W. Schaefer. an old
man who testified that he had kept
gambling houses in this city since
1857. and had known ByrneS for
quarter of a century. Shortly after
the latter was appointed captain of
the Fifteenth precinct, about 1872 or
1873, he sent for Schaefer. He begged
Byrnes not to trouble him that night.
Byrnes replied that he was king in
that precinct, and that the witness
had presumed greatly in running a
gambling house there. Byrnes con-
scented to wait until the next day be-
fore taking action. The witness went
to see Sydney Nichols, then police
commissioner, and Informed him of
Byrnes' threat Nichols saw Byrnes
and told him that if he closed the
witness place he would have to close
the other gambling places in his pre-
cindt. The witness place was not
disturbed Afterwards he saw
Byrnes again and said to him:
while we are making money we
are willing that others should
SHARED THE PROFITS.
He made this proposition to
Byrnes: That the latter should re-
of the business, which was keno.
1t was accepted. Thereafter the
witness regularly paid Byrnes per-
sonally, each month, a fourth share
of the profits. The partnership con-
tinued ten months, during which he
paid not less than $4,000.
Said Schaefer: "I kept a gam
bling house for twenty years, and
had to pay the police nearly all the
time. Some of the captains did not
send ward men around. These were
Washburn, Hadden and Saunders.
Caffrey's ward men came around
Sergeant Schonmaker- and I also
paid Dunlay, Williams ward men. I
paid $50 a month, which was the
usual price up to 1876, when the
price was raised to s100 a month"
Schaefer told of paying McLaugh-
lin, when the latter was acting chief
of detectives, $500 out of $3.50 taken
from a ''squaaler." and of a similar
! percentage paid to the ward men of
ex-Inspector Williams. His partner
had paid ex-Fire Commissioner John
Scanned 800 month when Scanned
was understood to be acting as col
leotor for the police. Schaefer tes-
titled that he had been requested to
keep away from the city during the
Lexow investigation, and had evaded
q summons.

upland and clay tracts are very short.
The whole Missouri basin reports a
great falling offl from earlier esti-
mates. The extreme dry weather has
converted fair promise into a compare
tive failure in Nebraska and adjoining

ascribed to untimely frosts near the
Rocky mountains and along the north

the rotting of ears by soaking summer
rains. has made a large part of the

Machinists on Strike.

TOWER, Mimi. Nov. 1.-THE ma
chinists employed by the Minnesota Iron
company went out on strike yester-
day, to secure an advance of % cents
per day, as they had not been included
in those getting a 10 per cent raise not
long ago. Their former wages ranged
from $3.50 to s2.25, and the fact that
the blacksmiths had demanded and re-
ceived similar increase only last Sat
urday, encouraged the machinists in
their demands. In view of the extreme
scarcity of labor all through the iron
districts, it is believed that the men
will get the advance asked for. Other
skilled employees contemplate asking
for raise soon.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-November
returns to the department of agricult-
ure make the corn crop the largest in
volume of record, with the rate of
yield, however, somewhat less than
that indicated by the returns of the
October report, 26.2 bushels per acre,
This must be regarded as a prelimin-,

The rates of yield of principal corn
states are as follows: New York, 35.6;
