was q Republican,. might be appointed. He
charged that the bargain had been mado
with the knowledge OF tho Postmaster. The
charges camo before First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath to-day, and he notified the Post
master that an opportunity would be given tho
carrier to prove his charges and disprovo those
OF the Postmaster against him.

was Superintendent OF Station o OF the Chicago
Post Office tEnglcwood,. Mr.. Carr secured an
injunction yesterday from n Milwaukee Judge
preventing his removal. and tho hearing will
COM up on Sept. l3. The department expects

lished in the Woods case. to be heard here on

who wish to contest the right OF the department
to remove them or reduce their rank might bet
ter obey the order of the department under pro-
test and then make their applications to the
courts or the department. Otherwise they will

ROCK EFELLER AFTER EICK Ell.

TORONTO. Ont, Sept. lit Is reported h ere
to-day that John d. Rockefeller of Standard Oil
fame. with other American capitalists. is try.
ing to corner the Canadian nickel mines. When
Prof. Austen Roberta. tho metallurgist OF tho
British Mint, was here at the meeting of the
British Association last month, he made active
inquiries concerning the deposits OF nickel In
Ontario. Also no made experiments with tho
ore to ascertain its ability to withstand pen
~etration by heavy guns. 1t appears to be
taken for granted that II his report TO the
imperial Government proves satisfactory some
develop the industry with "A Wow to utilizing
the ore In the manufacture of armor plate, and
II Is not unlikely that this has led to the present
attempt 70 buy up the mines. 1t is said the only
hitch in the negotiations OF tho Rockefeller sym
mines, Is that some independent mine owners
will not sell at the prices offered. This prevents
the syndicate from getting control of the market.
