hibit!ng any officer of the United States
from holding two offices. the combined COM

apply to the case of Commander ]. ].
Brice of the navy. recently nominated as
commissioner of fish and fisheries, for the
reason that retired naval officers are ex-
pressly exempted from the prohibition in
question. In support of this statement he
quoted section of the legislative, judicial
and executive appropriation bill, approved
July 81, 1894, as follows: mo person who

attached to which amounts to the sum of
$500, shall be appointed to or hold any

POST OFFICE WEATHER FORECASTS

The New Weather Stamps VIII BE
Used Next Week.
Postmaster Willetts idea of STAMPING
weather forecasts on letters will 20 into
use next week. Washington will be the
first, and for several months, the only
office In the country that will send out
these predictions, although the scheme
strikes the postmasters of the country
favorably. and many applications have
come to the Post Office Department for the
necessary stamps.
First Assistant Postmaster General Jones
answered forty letters yesterday inquiring
about the weather stamps, and asking for
them as soon as any can be had. The de-
partment has no money available to make
the weather stamps, and the weather bu-
reau has made those to be used in the
words, such as "rain," colder" warmer ;;
SNOW" Cyclone" ETC., cut in semi-circu-
lar dies. that go around the stamp already
used on the backs of letters. These dies
cost $3.50 apiece. and all the large offices
require great many duplicates. Chicago
would need 300 and New York 200 In the
post office appropriation for the next fiscal
year the contingent fund will be available
for providing these weather stamps, and 1t
is likely that the Agricultural Department
will have funds available to pay part of the
cost.
Washington Office will serve as a demon
stratfon of their value, and after that there
will be no difficulty in introducing them
The weather bureau will telephone 10 the
postmaster at 10 o'clock each morning the
forecast of the weather of the following
day, and from that hour forward it will
appear on all letters passing through the
Office.

The robbers changed their plans, however,

rushed into the telegraph office and told
the operator to tell the sherif's party here

IN CONGRESS
A Petition in Behalf of the Columbia Tele-
phone Company.
Present Prices Are Claimed to Be
Exorbitant-Other Matters
of Local Interest.

The Vice President today laid before the
Senate numerously signed petition from
citizens of Washington asking for the pas
sage of the bill Incorporating the Columbia
Telephone Company. The petitioners re-
cite the main provisions of this bill and
then declare: 1.-The citizens of Washington
and the District of Columbia are now
forced to pay an exorbitant price for
limited and inefficient telephone service he
cause of the fact that the American Bell
Telephone Company owns the controiiins
interest in the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company, and there Is III eN-
istence a contract between the American
Bell Telephone and the Western Union
Telegraph Company wherein 1t obl1gates
itself not to reduce the rates for teiephohe
service unless competition makes II neces'-
sary to do SO.
a'The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company is subject to this contract, ana
the citizens of Washington are poWerless
to secure relief unless a new company Is
chartered AS citizens of Washington we
believe that we are eutitled to prompt and
immediate relief at the haLds OF Congress,
and believing that the Columbia telephone
bill il passed, with an amendment, proVid-
ing for the subways, recommended by the
Commissioners, would accomplish the ends
desired, we earnestly request your early
and favorable consideration of this bill.
Instructors of the Deaf.
Senator Mcmillan today introduced bill
to incorporate the Convention of American
Instructors of the Deaf in the District OF
Columbia.

A bill was introduced in the Senate to-
day by Mr.. Gibson, directing the District
Commissioners to open and grade 1tth
street from Florida avenue to Park street
to the width of ninety feet through such
lands as are rot already dedicated. 1t d.
rects condemnation proceedings to be had
according to chapter IL Of the Revised
Statutes relating to the District in all
cases necessary. The money required Is to
be paid out of the treasury, one-half TO be
deducted from the District revenues. The
cost of grading and regulating shall not
exceed $1,000.

The Milliken "housebreaking'' case was
continued this morning il Criminal Court
No. 2 before Judge Cole. The trial has,
naturally, aroused 'he greatest interest In
the community. Were there no other proof
of this. il would be amply demonstrated by
the pressure for admission to the court
room this morning.
Yesterday afternoon. after The Stars re-
port closed, Mr.. McKenney finished his tes-
timony, but the cross-examination added
but little to the evidence he had already
given.
He was followed by Special Officer Cald-
we'll, who arrested Nillken. He described
the details of the affair as he saw them,
having been attracted to the spot by the
sound of police whistle blown by Mr. w.
c. Mcintyre. The only thing he heard Mil
liken say was that he was not burglar.
Mil.iken made no resistance, and the po-
liceman accompanied him only as far

THE CRISIS PASS ED
No More Monsy Required at Present for the
Poor.
An Effort to Provide Opportunity for
the Poor to Earn Money
and Save 1t.

Mr.. Archibald Hopkins, chairman Of the
emergency relief committee, sends the fol-
lowing to The Star:
''The emergency relief committee ask the
courtesy Of your columns for the purpose
of withdrawing the special appeal recently
made through the press for the assistance
of the deserving poor of the District. The
committee believe that with, the amount
now on hand, carefully bestowed. and the
prospect of the speedy resumption of work
in various directions, no more contributions
will be needed.
'The committee desire to express many
thanks for the prompt and generous re-
sponse which has been made to its appeal
While the winter has been an open one,
and the demands less than last year, the
committee cannot but feel that the fact
that only little over $1,000 has been asked
this year for relief purposes justifies the
change of methods which have been
adopted by the Associated Charities, and
calls for a wider support Of the new or
ganization in its attempts to eradicate beg
gary and diminish and alleviate poverty
and suffering without demoralZing those

Money Enough.
One hundred and twenty-five cases daily
is the lowest average that has been in
vestigated by the agents of the Associated
Charities during the past ten days. and
although the suffering has not decreased
to any appreciable extent the emergency
relief committee has withdrawn its call
for aid for the reason that sufficient money
has been subscribed, it is thought, to tide
over the emergency resulting from the cold
snap Of a few days ago.
With the arrival of sunshine and warm
weather this afternoon there is 10 doubt
In the mind of Secretary Wilson that the
situation will be relieved to such an ex-
tent in a few DAYS that the Associa ted
Charities will be able to meet all demands,
and any funds remaining in the hands of
the treasurer of the emergency relief COM
mittee may then he retained for another
possible emergency Unless there should
be some uncxuected turn of affairs IT will
not be necessary TO call on the pubJic for

DISCOUNTING MCKINLEY CLAIMS.
An Alabama Republican Who Says n
Word for Reed.

Truman H. Aldrich, a republican from
Birmingham, Ala, who is Interested in the
iron Industry, anG is a contestant for the
scat in the House now occupied by Mr..
Underwood. made sarcastic comments to-
day en- the Mckinley boom in his state:
Mckinley will have not to exceed six
delegates, and probably not more than
three. His managers claim eleven. They
are sending out a lot of mi5information for
the effect it will Rave on other states
The outburst in the newspapers this morn
ing was intended for it's influence on In
diana, where delegates are being elected
today. The claims Of Mckinley's managers
in other southern states are Just mis-
leading. They claim Mississippi, but Lynch,
a Reed man, has the delegates, and the
alleged Mckinley delegation is a contesting
one. They are making large claims in
Louisiana. and have but a single delegate
from that state
