NEW YORK POSTOFFICE.
Federal Officials Plan for Increasing
 Facilities Completed.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The plans for the consolidation of the postoff1ces in Greater New York have been prac- tically completed by the postoffice de- partment, and that part of the report of the postmaster general bearing up on increased postal facilities for the enlarged city has been prepared by the first assistant postmaster general Perry S. Heath. Some changes, prob ably unimportant, in the report may be made between now and it's publi- cation, when the postmaster general $ annual report is ready.
 It is probable that pneumatic tubes will play an important part in the development of the postal facilities in New York. The postal department under this administration has placed itself on record as favoring pneumatic tubes for New York and for Boston In Boston pneumatic postal connec- tions are now being laid from the central postCffice to the principal rail road stations. MT. Heath said today that while he was not at liberty tc say officially that pneumatic tubes would be installed extensively in New York city, he felt that the problem of the rapid transmission of mail. 1 might be sin1plified by their use.

1ss1f al0 John Doe, "John Doe No. 1" "John Doe No. D. etc. When the first John Doe had been disposed of and taken below, the recorder called out, John Doe No. 2.' Here, guilty, yer honor,' murmured man sitting asleep, his chair tipped back in the corner. The police were sur prised. They had never seen him be- fore and nobody knew where he came from He had certainly not been ar rested The police reused him and found him to be drunk and a proper subject to stand before the tribunal It took some little time for him to pull himself together and offer an ex- planation. He said he hardly remem- bered getting into court. He thought he must have been dreaming about being in policec ourt and that when he heard the familiar name of John Doe announced he imagined himself to be the defendant. He was conscious of his condition with reference to so- briety; he recognized the futility of an attempt at defense and had pleaded guilty.
 On account of the peculiar circum- stance that had brought this John Doe within the jurisdiction of the court the recorder let him go.

WELLsvILLE, Mo-, July Three un-
known men were struck by the Wabash
fast mail at that place about II o'clock
Tuesday night They were lying
with their heads on the rail when the
engineer saw them. He reversed his
engine but did not stop in time to pre-
vent them from being struck. One
was killed and the other two injured.
Some are inclined to the belief that
they were dubbed and laid on the rail
to prevent the crime from becoming
known, The dead man had W. Il. ).
on his right arm and the only means
by which he can be identified is q
note found on his person bearing
no address, but signed by Edna
White, Ethel, Mo-, requesting him to
take her trunk from the depot. One
Of the injured men refused to talk.
The third man gave his name as Will
liam Moore, Of Topeka, Kan, and says
he was thrown of freight train at
this place about II o'clock Tuesday
night, but the fact that he, together
with the other men have been seen
here a number Of times during the
past several days. somewhat discredlts
his story. The dead man was buried
in the potters field yesterday Tho
coroners jury rendered verdict that
he came to his death by being struck
by train or by blow on the head
inflicted by some unknown party.
Further development will have to de-
eide who the men are and how the de-

INDIAN TROUBLE.

citation Of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
Shut Down Through Differences
Over the Wage Scale.

WASHINGTON. July l.-Senator Heit-
field. of Idaho, received another dis
patch from Gov. Stunenberg, dated at
Boise, last night, as follows: Com
plants continue to-day. Fences are
being burned and cattle killed. In
dams come from Lemhi, Umatilla,
Fort Hall and Duck Valley reserva-
TONS They must disperse or trouble
will soon follow" This was soon
communicated to the interior depart
ment and Secretary Bliss Immediately
wired Agent Irwin, at Fort Hall,
to expedite his Geographic report OF
the situation, and called upon the
agents at Lemhi, Umatilla and the
Western Shoshone Duck Valley agen-
cies for reports. Game Warden Man
ming, of Marysvale, Wyo., near the
scene of the Jackson Hole affair, part
of the old Bannock hunting grounds,
has urged a proposition to disarm the
Indians in Fort Hall reservation, and
the matter has been forwarded for
consideration, through Gov. Richards
and Senator Warren, of Wyoming.
Agent Irwin has taken a decided
stand against it. The agent adds that
he does not believe many OF them will
venture into the hunting regions this
season, but it can hardly be expected
that custom enjoyed for generations,
and which they believe unjustly taken
away, can be broken up in one or two
years. The Indians as whole, how
ever, acquiesce in the decision OF the
United States supreme court, growing
out of the Jackson's Hole trouble, in
which the hunting rights OF the In
dams were negatively decided. Some
Indians, however, he predicts, would
slip away unnoticed.
Four troops of the garrison at Fort
Robinson Neb., are under orders to
be in readiness to move at once for the
Fort Hall Indian reservation country,
in case of trouble with the Indians OF
that vicinity.
