Failing in his efforts to bribe and
subsidize the great agricultural news

money, Hanna, has sought and paid
for pages in several weeklies, into
which he inserts regular advertise

Nothing reveals the development OF
the country more accurately than the
growth of Its post facilities. The an
nual report of Fourth Assistant POST
master-General r. A. Maxwell has been
made public. Two thousand and forty
six post offices have been established
during the past fiscal year, and 1,f50
discontinued, net gain OF 296, the
'arrest gain in the number OF offices
having been in Mississippi, SO; Georgia

That part of the report which deals
with special cases" Is a most interest
ing one, detailing ss It does the cap
| ture of some Of the most notorious
| thieves in the United States. The re"
| port reveals what has not thus far been
generally known, that the force under
| Gen. Maxwell renders such signal aid
to the municipal police in the rounding
up of noted and dangerous criminals.
To quote one paragraph OF the report:
Probably no criminal has had more
written about him than the notorious
murderer II. II. Holmes, who confessed
that he had caused the murder OF TWEEN
ty-seven persons. 1t is proper to men,
tIon In this connection that his final
arrest was effected through the post
Office inspectors, whose cooperation
was invoked by the dete .ves having
charge of the case"
There Is an unusual interest here II

here as elsewhere the people are al
anxious to listen to the political speak

where such large party of the com
munity is dependent upon government

should be the livelest interest In tn

Special Chicago Letter.
No event OF q personal character has
aroused so much interest and anxiety
rs the sudden disappearance from this
city OF A. d. Powers. the recognized
Cuban agent. This case bids fair to
fully equal in mystery the famous
Cronln case. Mr.. Powers has been Tor
a short time the director and manager
Of the Chicago branch Of the Cuban
Relief Corps, and the mystery sur
rounding his disappearance Is now be-
ing accounted for in Cuban circles by
the Interference of Spaniards.
As soon as he opened his office here
he began to receiye contributions OF
clothing and considerable money. The
liberal contributions compelled Powers
to remain at his Office evenings to
straighten up his accounts. II Is known
that recently Powers received threat
ening letter, which caused him much
anxiety. This he communicated to
friends, and tnen went TO his office,
where he wrote two letters and COM
menced third, which appears to nave
been suddenly abandoned.
The office was found unlocked and
some Of the furniture disarranged. A
mysterious stranger is also associated
/ with the case, and all the Cuban sym
pathizers believe that Powers's life has
. been sacrificed at the hands Of Jealous
| Spaniards. 1t will indeed be a start
| ling revelation If these grave suspicious
are full. born out by the facts.
Nothing is OF more vital interes- to
the business men of this city, and, in
deed, to the great grain producers oil
the West, than the question OF cheap
| transportation to the seaboard. The
prospective improvement of the great
Erie Canal is therefore of vastly more
importance to the farmers West than
to those of the great State through
which 1t runs.
The enterprising citizens Of the West
have watched with peculiar interest tn,
application of electricity as n motive
power for navigating the canas. The
reported sale of the Erie Canal Trac
ZION Company to an English syndicate
and the prospect that unlimited capita
will be at the disposal of this syndicate
for the development of the canal to III
fullest capacity, and the consequen
chespening of freight rates. Is regard
ed as having an important bearing up
on the yexed problem Of trausporta
tion.
When doctors of finance disagree 81
sharply it is difficult for those unlearn
ed in the various phases of the none,
, question to reach a decision. Th
declaration of Bismarck, the great Ger
man soldier and statesman, that thi
country is strong enough to maintain
bimetallism and bring other nations t
! it was hardly read before the Associa
tion of American Bankers, assemble

When Ed Towse of the Star learned

off a match with some one, he went

swim in race. The men were brought
| together a week or two ago, but moth

swim for money and the other objected,
for the reason that he did not wish to

1t was decided then to make the
race free for all for trophy
the course to be a half mile, beginning
in front of the boat houses. OF the
foreigners, two men in the barracks
entered and Marshall and Mitchell on
the outside. There were besides races
for Hawaiian men and boys over a
hundred yard course, and in these quite
number of entries were made.
Long before the hour set for the
race the Myrtle and Healani Boat Club
houses, were filled with people, and the
wharves were lined with an enthusi-
astic crowd of spectators. There was
little betting on the main event, but
the guessing was in favor Of Marshall

Who ever thought for one moment
that small yachts could not do as well
as large yachts in the line of sport
found themselves very much mistaken
yesterday morning when they saw the
Lilliputian craft starting out and
shooting past the light house as if there
were crews of experienced yachtsmen
aboard, each putting out every yard of
canvas that could in any way add
extra speed. The day was a most
pleasant one for the occasion, and the
yachtsmen recognized that fact as they
proudly adjusted their yachts and
started out in row boats after their ia
