RECESS POSTMASTER
A Large Batch of Presidentials to b.
Sent Up.
The President Criticised for Ignoring
the Senate-A Rejected Man
ReappOinted.

The Post Office Department has washed
it's hands If tie recess 'presidentials,' and
the batch is on the Presidents desk at the
Write House for his review and approval
before being sent to TIE Senate. There are
22i in all, covering the smaller offices, such
originally became presidential by reason
of increase of business, and whose post
! masters were first appointed in the recess
between Congr esses. There are probably
rot over dozen large offices In the whole
lot Among these is Providence, where
Richard Hayden was appointed, and as
beth the Rhode Island Senators live prac-
tcally In that city, it is to be presumed
they agree on Mr.. Hayden, and there will
be no opposition to his confirmation.
The Lewiston, Me-. office is in the list,
that city being Representative Dingieys
home. So, too, is Newark, N. j., Senator
Smiths home.
Danville, ILL.,, where a hot fight occurred
over Representative Cannon's choice, john
Baird, is in the list, and it is said Baird
will be confirmed without any trouble
Bismarck, n. D., is another large office In
Guided. A recess appointment was made
necessary there by the death of the former
postmaster. Danbury, Conn.,, is another
important office, and there was not con-
test there over the appointment. There is
likely, it is said to be trouble over Dan
bury in the Senate.
n constitutional Ease.
The most important case in the recess ap-
pointments is the Sioux Falls, s. d., case.
Senator Pettigrew lives in Sioux Falls. and
he had a desire to be consulted in the choice
of postmaster there. When the President
sent in the name of Alfred B. Tinsley last
session Senator Pettisrew opposed his con-
tirnnation, and the Senate rejected it. In
few days the President promptly reap
pointed the man who had been rejected
Senator Pett:grew is said to be charged with
a firm purpose to make hot fight and it is
believed when Tinsley's name comes up
that it will be again rejected
Fight in Prospect.
There is said to be more than an interest
ing personal contest in the Tinsley case, as
many Senators regard the Presidents ac-
ton as distinctly unconstitutional. If the
clause by and with the advice of the Sen
ate is to have.any force or meaning, 1t is
argued the appointment of a man who has
been rejected by the Senate would seem to
be in direct opposition to the usual con-
struct:on of that definition of the powers OF
President and Senate in the matter of APP
pointments. 1t was the reappointment of
men who had been rejected by the Senate,
it is recalled that aggravated the rela tons
between Andrew Johnson and the Senate.
and one of the grounds of the impea chment
articles brought against him was this prac-
tice.
Wherever contests over post offices occur
it IS the usual course with those who wish
to make a fight to carry the war directly to
the post office committee of the Senate. In
none of the recess cases has the Post Office
Department any complaints or any charges

A report filed with he.secretary OF the

that the entire system had, in 1898, 764
engines and 1000 box cars, with other
stock in proportion. All the engines
except 100, together with a proportion
of rolling stock, belonged to associated
roads. AS each line is Topped off, it
claims it's own stock. That which it is
now using has almost all been built and
charged to the Kansas Pacific branch.
Should the Omaha report prove correct,
the Union Pacific would be in sore
straits.

DENVER, June 1o.-The report of q
separate receiver for the Kansas Pacific
branch of the Union Pacific finds cred
ence, although it cannot be confirmed in
this city. In 1893 the Union Pacific was
operating S167 miles of railway, though
its own mileage from Omaha to Ogden is
but 1888. In that year the st. Joseph &
Grand Island, of 251 miles, was Topped
off; then, in the order mentioned, went
from the Union Pacific, the Denver &
Gulf, with it's 1478 miles; the Oregon
Railway & Navigation lines, 1859 miles
the Denver, Leadville & Gunnison, 325
miles; the Oregon Short Line, 14S1
miles; and if the Kansas Pacific goes,
TAI more miles will come off.
