A BIG BATCH OF POSTMASTERS.
The Senate to Confirm Nearly 400
Presiden Ial AppOintees.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The cases
of almost four hundred Presidential
postmasters will be presented to the
Senate for it's action next month. So
far there have been 240 recess appoint
ments and all of these will be sent to
the Senate for confirmation and the
terms of Office of 1876 postmasters ex-
pire during the month. There are also
eight other vacancies caused by deaths
of postmasters, whose successors will
have to be chosen and their nomina-
tions confirmed.
Postoffice department officials point
out remarkable increase in the NOR
tally among the postmasters, dispro-
portionate to the increase in the list.
During the past year there were APP
proximately thirtyfve deaths among
those of the Presidential classes. This
is said to be larger than for any year
in the past fifteen or twenty and is at
tributed to generally prevailing I'M
healthful conditions.
A few days ago the deaths of the
postmasters of Bowie, Texas, and All
bert Lea, Minnesota, were announced
simultaneously and last Saturday the
Department was notified of the deaths
of both postmasters, Charles 3. Hill,
at Eustis, Fla, and Mcdonald, at Al
toona. These are said to be the first
instances of deaths of Presidential
postmasters announced the same day
for many years.

BOISE. Idaho, Aug. 23.-Angelo
NIackiin, prominent Dry Creek
farmer, was arrested today by United
States authorities on charge of
forging signatures to affidavits filed
with the pension bureau at Washing
ION in support of his claim for pen
sion.
Che case has been under inYestiga-
I5n for some time, Il special agent OF
the pension bureau being sent to
Boise not long ago to close up the evil
dence for the government. In the
spring of 1894, Macklin, who claims to
have been a member of company &,
Twerty-second Regiment Iowa Volun-
teers, made APPLICATION for a pension
on the ground of total disability,
growing out of injuries and exposures
during the war To back up his appli-
cation, he sent in several 7fhdavits,
which, it is alleged, are false. It is,
without doubt, the most bungling at
tempt at forgery ever called to the at
tention of the United States author
tiles in any state in the Union. All
the affidavits and all the signatures
ere written in the same hand, and
Nacklin yesterday in court admitted
the genuineness of his signature. 1t
would require 10 expert to determine
that all the writing is in the same
Inland that penned MS name. There are
'four counts in the complaint, Macklin
being accused of forging the sigma
lures Of DIR. Springer. a well known
physician here; DR. Myers, presume
bly, an ex-Boise druggist; DR.. C. Par
.ysSins, who was never heard Of here, but
whom it is stated in the affidavit was
at the time resident of Boise, and
Probate Judge Ryals.
The methods employed to secure a
pension are so transparency fraudu-
sent that unless he escapes under the
plea of insanity, he will probably
spend the remal-.der of his days in
prison. He told District Attorney
Forney he had suffered so much that
at times he was out of his head.
AIacklin has lived in Boise valley for
nearly a quarter of a century.

DUNNING SCANDAL.
CHARGES HAVE BEEN PREFERRED
AGAINST OFFICERS.
DisgrneefuI State of Affairs Which
to Blush.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-The scandal
arising from the death of Patrick
Puck at the Dunning hospital, has
resulted in charges being preferred
| this afternoon against the following
people:
President Healy, superintendent
! Morgan, Commissioner Ritter and
Butcher, Evans.
The fling of charges was begun at
o'clock this afternoon, during the
special session of the investigat ting
committee held at the county COM
missioners' room ing the county build
ing.
1t became an exciting meeting as
soon as Commissioner Kuntsman got
up and preferred charges against
President Healy and Superintendent
Morgan, alleging that they have re-
tanned employees at the Dunning
asylum, who have been bribed and for
continuing contracts with men who
are acknowledged by the president and
the superintendent to have bribed said
employees.
Commissioner Ritter followed with
another bomb for Healy, alleging in
his charges that the president is violat-
! ing the civil service law by favoritism
| incompetency and neglect of his of
! fetal duties.
Attorney O'Donnell then appeared
for Contractor Keck, and preferred
charges against Butcher Evans. al
the Dunring asylum, for his alleged
soliciting of a bribe from the meat
contractor. Healv then preferred
! charges against Commissioner Ritter
J alleging that he took too active part
4 in the contract.
The meeting of the commissioners
today was an exceedingly stormy one
Such choice epithets as ''blackguard, ;
thief" tbribe taker," '.bribe solicitor
'trickster," and fence" were thrown
around in a promiscuous fashion ant
every one of the commissioners re-

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 23.-Governor
Culberson today made public some
correspondence between himself and
Chief Cabell, of Dallas county. anent
the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight. The
correspondence was opened by Gov
ernor Culberson, interrogating the
chief as TO whether he intended to
abide by the decision of Attorney-Gen-
eral Crane, holding the prize fighting
law valid and as to whether it was
his intention to exercise all the power
vested in him to prevent the fight
Chief CabelPs reply is that while he
did not ask for the opinion, that he is
willing and will abide by it: that
should a writ be placed in his hands
by the county attorney he will GER
tainly serve it, and in case no writ is
issred and he is left to face the matter
alone, he will unhesitatingiy discharge
his duty. He cites. however that the
criminal statute defining prize fighting
makes it misdemeanor and not a
felony, and asks the governor. under
such circumstances, would he be justi-
fed in using such force as may be
necessary, even IL it required the
shooting down of citizens, and would
the governor advise such proceedings
In reply to CabelPs letter. the gov
ernor says: while il is true that the
prize fight at Dallas is not advertised
to take place until October, the pro-
priety of the public officers of the
state taking action is obvious. It is
proper that they should give notice at
once of the firm purpose to enforce the
law, that none may be deceived. The
constitution, which is the supreme law
of the state, makes it the duty of the
governor to cause the laws to be faith
fully executed. At the proper time,
what force may be deemed necessary
to guard against failure will be used
to prevent this proposed infraction of
the laws of the state
CabelFs interrogatory as to whether
the governor would sanction the
shooting down of citizens was a very
hard question. and the governor an
swered that he would not attempt to
answer that question, but would refer
it to the encouragement, which will
be forthcoming.

PAYMENT OF TROOPS.
Money Will Hereafter BE Sent BY
Express.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The new
army regulations will make some I'M
portant changes in the method OF pay
ment of troops and probably will be
found Objectionable to all officers VINO
command posts or companies. Instead
of sending payma~sers to the various
posts throughout the country, the rolls
will be made up at the headquarters
of the army department or at places
where there is no local department
headquarters The rolls will be ac-
companied by envelopes containing the
money due each officer and soldier and
will be sent to the commandant of
each post by express. The commandant
will distribute the rolls and money to
the company commanders and they
will pay the troops and make the re-
turn. The object is to save the ex-
pense of mileage of paymasters and
their clerks who travel from post to
post to pay the men. Hereafter the
paymasters will remain at the head
quarters and perhaps in some instances
pay headquarters in different de-
pa tments will be abandoned and con-
solidated at the department head
quarters.
