PRIVATE LETTER BOX
FRAUDS.

New York, Nov. ia special
to the Herald from Washington
says: The public officials are
anxious to secure legislation dur
ing the next session of congress
to regulate the use of private let
ter boxes, which, it is said, afford
great facilities for persons en-
gagged in fraudulent enterprises.
In Chicago, New York, Phila-
delphia, Boston and other large
cities the private letter box has
become a fixed institution. They
are rented by anyone willing to
pay for the convenience. The
system has grown to wonderfully
large proportions in New York
City and the boxes are used by
men and women fer clandestine
correspondence and criminals.
1--WE are not trying to regulate
the morals of the people," said
First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Jones, eve are simply trying
to protect them from frauds. We
object to the hse of these boxes
by those whose sole aim is to
fleece people. When these fell
lows hide behind the private let
ter box l cannot understand why
the department should be criti-
cised for following them up and
depriving them of their boxes"

DON'T KNOW HIMSELF.

San Francisco, Nov. 1G.-Rev.
w. G. Shaw, of st. Luke's Epis-
copal church, has called on the
chief of police with a man whom
he introduced as Henry 7. Clark,
of New Haven, Conn. Mr.. Clark
had a queer story to tell. He
said that for two months his
mind had been a blank and he
wanted the police to trace his
movements during that time. The
last he remembered was leaving
his wife to go to work in New
ven, last September. Sun
day morning he awoke in lodg-
ing house here and found he had
registered as A. Walker. He had
no idea how he got there and was
seeking for information. This
the police readily furnished by
placing Mr.. Clark in Jail charged
with embezzlement. According
to the police, Henry T. Clark, who
was employed by Peck & Bishop
at New Haven, left that town
suddenly on Sept. 26 last, taking
with him $500 in cash and $3.50
in checks. Clark says he has no
knowledge of taking any money
that did not belong to him and
expressed his willingness to go
back to New Haven.

LEAVE THEM BOTH OUT.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 16.-Ru-
mOrs that Wisconsin is likely to
have a place in McKinley's cabi-
net have created considerable
comment. Interest in the boom
of II. c. Payne, of Milwaukee,
was intensified by the report
from New York that eX-COngress-
man p. NJ. Toilette, of Wiscon-
sin, would be one of those chos-
en-. The two men are leaders in
hostile camps of the Republican
party and the selection of either
would be a political blow to the
other. An odd feature of the stu
alton is that both La Toilette and
Payne are close to the incoming
administration, Payne being an
intimate friend of Mark Hanna
and La Toilette of the president
elect, having served with him on
the ways and means committee
that framed the Mckinley bill.

Utah IN DOUBT.

Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 16.-The
record. of canvassers of Salt Lake
county have completed their
count 70 the vote cast at the re-
cent election, but have not de,
clared the result for the alleged
reason that said election is said to
be void and unconstitutional. The
board has passed a resolution
asking the county attorney to fur
nish an opinion as to the duty of
the board in the premises. The
constitution of the state requires
a secret ballot. The act of the
Legislature providing for the man
ner of holding elections make it
the duty of the election officers
to place a number on each ballot
This has led to some discussion
as to what constituted a secret
ballot. 1t is upon this point that
it is claimed the election may be
unconstitutional.

MACEO IS ALL RIGHT.
Says Weyler Cannot Reach the
Cuban Stronghold.

Cuban Stronghold.
New York, Nov. 16.-Senor
Tomas Estrada Palma, the Cuban
delegate, has received a letter
from Gen. Antonio MaceO under
date of Nov. Z: "YOu need have
no uneasiness about me-" says
Maceo, in his letter. Gwen in
case that Weyler could direct
against us such an enormous
army that l could not meet it in
the field in open battle, as l have
done with success up to now, l
will resort to guerrilla warfare
in the event my troops prove in
sufficient and l will give hard
work to even 100000 soldiers.
"While Weyler was preparing
his trocha," Maceo says, 81 was
making mine also"
Maceo describes in these words
what he means by his trocha. at
is a narrow way through the
mountains and the only way to
reach the stronghold where the
Cubans have their ammunition
and supplies and two factories
for making their cartridges and
ammunition"
"The Spanish authorities" Ma,
Geo says, "cannot get to the Gu
ban stronghold. The passage ad-
mits only one man at. a time IN
front and besides that in the
space of half Spanish league
the Cubans have built a hundred
trenches and sown them with dy-
Mantle bombs. If Weyler could
force the passage" Maceo says,
she would only meet destruction
half way"
In the same letter Gen. Maceo
gives the news that he has cap
tured four cannons and a great
quantity of ammunition in his
last engagement with the Span
ish troops, and especially against
the corps of Melguiseo. With re-
gard to provisions, he says that
he is well supplied, also, notwith-
standing the fact that the prov
ince of Pinar Del Rio is not as
well provided for as the rest of
the island.

CANADIAN JOHN.
He is Fully Bothered About That
Boundary Line.

Boundary Line.
Chicago, Nov. 16.-A dispatch
from Montreal, Canada, says that
there are rumors of serious con-
troversy between the United
States and Canada over the
troubles i'm the Yukon districts.
In places such as Forty Mile
Creek, where the boundary line
is supposed to pass and where
some of the creeks are in Amer
lean and nominal Canadian ter
ritOry, it is impossible to deter
mine those which belong TO Can
ada and those which do not. In
reference to the chages concern,
ing the United States trespassers
on British territory in the Yukon
district and the washing of gold
in Canadian waters, the rumOrs
say that this state of affairs arts
es from the fact that the commits
siOners appointed to define the
boundary line between the two
countries have not yet submitted
their report to the. governments.
The district said to have been
invaded is a Canadian town nam
ed Cuddy, on Forty Mile Creek,
There is a United States post
there, but is not recognized by
the Canadian government, The
Canadians and Americans in the
district of Yukon are anXiously
awaiting for the official announce
ment that will define the Canadian
territory as distinct from that of
the United States.

OPENING THE REICHsTAG.


Berlin, Nov. 16.-In anticipa-
ton of a statement from lmpe-
rial Chancellor Prince HolenlOhe
on the subject of the revelation,
made by Prince Bismarck, re-
garding a secret treaty which ex-
listed between Russia and Germa-
nv from 1856 to 1890, there was a
large attendance at the opening
of the reichstag today.
Count Won Hompresch intro
duced the Interpolation, did a
secret convention between Rus
STA and Germany exist up to
1890, and if so why was it not pro-
longed finally? Have recent dis
closures had an influence upon
the drei,bund and Germany's re-
latiOns with the other powers?
In reply, Prince HohenlOhe
said: "In regard to the hegotia-
many from 1887 to 1890, it was
agreed at the time that absolute
secrecy should be observed. The
time when this obligation ceased,
cannot, in consequence be defin-
ed by us alone. Therefore l am
not in a position to give official
information concerning the result
of those negotiations"

THE TIPPING QUESTION.
How Ii IL Practiced mt Home and

How Ii is Practiced mt Home and
Abroad and the Need for a Reform.
From the Illustrated American.
The question of tipping seems small
enough In detail, but Father important
when exaggerated.
A woman who spent last winter in one of
the most sumptuous of New York hotels
says she invariably gave a quarter to her
waiter at breakfast and luncheon, those
being meals taken alone. At dinner time
she was joined by her husband. who al
ways handed the servitor fifty cents.
The latter sum seemed to evenly fill the
mans idea of what was due him, and his
Thank you, SIR" was bland and gracious,
but the lady's modest quarters always

pocket with no expression of gratitude
from the recipients face which wore a

men are mean, an never knows 'ow to do
the right thing by q man; but one as to

II is only In reckless. good natured

which Is a common enough sum for a man
to give at dinner in q fashionable restau-
rant. would make a French waiter stare
although he would have the presence OF
mind to pocket II quickly.
In Paris there is an unwrit.en scale,
Evening star., 1896-12-12

which apportions per cent on the amount
of a customers bill as tip. Thus, a per-
son ordering a dinner that costs s., would,
on settling his bill, add ten cents for the
attendant.
1t Is time We had either a legal or in
formal rule governing tips in this country,
and it is to be hoped that some rich persons
will help on the reform.
1t Will never be done by those whose
means are really small enough to feel the
tax. for 1t is one of the errors Of the i'm
pecunious to feel obliged to show rs much
Eberality as millionaire. even II, like the
