OVERTIME CLAIMS S,
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ISSUES AN
ORDER CONCERNING THEM.
Letter Carriers Must Not be Allowed
to Make Any-order of April 4,
1893, Has Been md Remains in
Force.

Washington, Jan. -Postmaster-G General
Bissell has issued the following order to
postmasters at all free delivery offices re-
garding overtime claims:
The attention of postmasters at free
delivery offices is directed to the order
of April 4. 1898, respecting overtime of
letters carriers. It is believed by certain
officials of this department that in some
of the postoftices eVasiOns OF this order
are in conteupla Ton, that overtime is in
fact being made, by letter carriers not
recorded at the postotiiee and no. claim is
made fer the same at present. but it is
supposed this overtime Will perhaps be
made the subject of claim at some future
time.
1T is not Supposed the postmasters are
cognizant of this fact but it can hardly
be the fact and escape the. knowledge OF
the superintendent OF free delivery.
THE order of April :, 1885, has been, and
will remain in full force and effect, and
shall hold the postmasters officially &C
countable for any omission to enforce it.
The distinct purpose OF the order was and
is to prevent overtime being made and
not merely to prevent or postpone the
claims for overtime"

An Omaha Attorney Tells What II
Knows About Them.

An Omaha Attorney Tells What He
Knows About Them.
Omaha, Neb., Jan. An relation to
the Barrett Scott case, E. NJ. Bartlett,
an Omaha attorney who was on Scott's
bonds when he was sued for the $4,000
shortage. today said:
when the motion had been made by
me to dismiss the suit there was a muir
muring and threats of Iychlag OF Scott
during the noon recess of court in Holt
county, in the event the sureties Should
be released."'
Mr.. Bartlett, in his argument in court,
called the attention of the court to the
fact that the evidence showed that the
couny board had spent over $1,000 in eX-
perts' and attorneys fees before bring
ing suit; that Scott had offered to turn
over to his bondsmen, and they had Of
fered to turn over to the county, papers,
securities and cash to the value of $780,
600 or thereaboUts, and the sureties had
offered on top of this to add S., 900 cash,
but that the county board had rejected
this offer and voted $4,000 more for at
torneys' fees. When this was stated in
court there was revuislon OF feeling
and it went against the county board.
Scott had been threa tened repeatedly
since that time and had, on such occa-
sions, got together friends and arms to
resist attack. A bitter political feeling
he had bankrupted the county and that
consequently the schools must close and
the soldiers relief fund go unspent.'
Attorney Bronze, of this city, who de-
Tended Scott in his criminal action, when
the trial came off in Antelope county,
said today in reference to the case, that
a misrepresentation exists with reference
to the giving of the bond. The supreme
court did not change the bond from
$4,000 to $4,000, as reported.
After ScOtt's conviction last fall we
took the case to the supreme court,
when the $4,000 bond was required as a
supersedeaS bond to stay the carrying
out of the sentence for five years. The
$4,000 was already out of existence.
though the people at O'NeiIl don't seem
to understand this"
do you think he is living YETI" Mr..
Bronze was asked.
mo, don't think there could be any
reason for Scott leaving the country,
We expected to get a reversal of the
case in the supreme court and have a
new trial in Holt county. We made the
point that no trial could be had in An
telope county. The sentiment was such
that I think people thought Scott could
never have been convicted in Holt coun-
ty and on this account he was killed.
But Scott has no reason for running
away His sentence was very Night, any
way, and by good behavior he could
have reduced 1t to three years. Then his
bondsmen had been released. so they
had no interest in his leaving"

Washington, D. c. Jan. 4-The tariff
war between the United States and Eu-
rope reached an acute phase today. As
foreshadowed in the Associated Press
dispatches. last week. the very first
official act Of Mr.. Henglemuller. the
new Austrian minister. was the lodg-
ment of a protest against that para
graph of the sugar schedule act which
imposes an additional duty of one
tenth per cent on sugar coming to the
United States from countries which
pay an export bounty on it. This ac-
ton was taken today and the ground
taken by the minister was similar to
that which formed the basis of the
protest OF Germany. that additional
duty paid discriminates against Aus
tria and is consequently a violation OF
the treaty of commerce with that ma
ton. So far nc threat of retaliation
accompanied the protest, but in this
Mr.. Henglemuller is but following the
example set by the German minister
and the next step he will undoubtedly
take will be in the same direction,
namely: the imposition of some re-
striction upon American products that
are imported n quantities into Austria
The four great sources of sugar sup
ply. outside Of the small proportion
contributed by Louisiana, are Cuba.
Germany. France and Austria With
three of these countries we are already
at odds over the sugar duty and in the
case of France there are already indi-
cations of the adoption of a retalia-
tory policy in the imposition of re-
strictions upon our meat trade and the
importation Of American wheat and
flour
This whole subject was under dis
cussion by the cabinet today, and as
far as can be gathered the outsome.
If Congress fails to come to the relief
of the executive by the removal Of
the duty which is supposed to cause
the trouble. then resort must be had
TO retaliation, which viii either open
European countries to our exports or
close our own ports to all European
products

Prominent Democrats Think There
VIII Be None This Session.
Washington, D. c., Jan. 4-Senators
Cockrell. German and Jones. Demo-
Gratis, and Senator Allison. Republican,
held an informal meeting today to dis
cuss the prospects of correcting the
present tariff law by amendments to
the urgency deficiency bill. After the
conference, it was stated no attempt
would be made to make the correc-
lions. 1t was understood that Senator
Allison rather guardedly expressed the
opinion that the Republicans would not
look with favor upon the amendment
scheme, and while he did not under
take to speak for all of them, he gave
it as his impression that such propo-
sitions as had been advanced by the
Democrats would not meet with favor.
The Democrats who had assembled at
this informal conference gave it as
their opinion that there would be no
effort made to pass any tariff legisla-
ton this session, even in the way OF
amendment.
