BETTER SUBURBAN SERVICE.
Mail Facilities to BE Extended ms Far
Out From Large Cities as
Possible.

Washington. May "a vigorous policy of
extending mail facilities for the suburbs
of the large cities as far as possible by
both steam and electric cars has been
adopted by Second Assistant Postmaster
General Shallenberger. Many of the big
cities will be given material additional serv-
ice for the outlying districts if the citizens
of those points cooperate with the depart
ment to make it a success. and the state
ment will be welcome announcement to
numerous places where feeling is evident
that the demands of the suburbs are not
met. Mr.. Shallenberger is giving the mat
ter careful attention, and as an initiative
mas Just made contracts at Pittsburg, Pa,
for additional train service to various sub
urbs there, within range of about thirty
miles from the city, whereby from one to
three mails a day will result from the use
of accommodation trains. Electric cars will
figure largely in future postal operations.

POP LAWYERS DISSATISFIED.
They Think Attorney General Boyle
Is Not Giving Them
Fair Deal.

Topeka, Kas., May 9.-(SpeciaD Some
disgruntled Populist lawyers who have
been unable to get a whack at the con-
tingent funds threaten the attorney gen.
erai with trouble on account of the en-
ployment of Railroad Commissioner billiard
as counsel in a number of cases recently.
They say that the railroad commissioner
cannot legally draw a cent for legal serv-
ices on account of the wording of the ap-
preparation law covering the railroad
board When the bill was up for consider
ation,a certain attorney endowed with fore
sight inserted an amendment to 1t pro-
v;ding that each member of the railroad
beard should devote his entire attention
to the duties of his office, and should not
draw pay from any other source for serv-
ices rendered. This amendment went
through with the bill, and is now a part
of the law.
Should Chairman billiard receive any eN-
ira fees for helping out the attorney gen.
eral big fuss will take place, and litiga-
tion may follow. Those complaining say
that billiard is receiving fat thing from
the state salary as commissioner and
that outside attorneys should be permit
ted to get the money in the contingent
funds. The same complaint Is also made
of the administration law firm. In the
billiard case, however, the kick is all the
mere emphatic because of the special pro-
vision in the appropriation bill. Dillard
ami Boyle are from the same town and the
attorney general employs him because he
knows that he is an able lawyer-some-
thing that can't be said of most of those
making the vigorous howl.

LEEDY is IN A QUANDARY.
Wants n State Architect, hut Can't
Have Him without n Public
Works ROard.

Topeka, Kas., May 9.-(Special) Work
on the new additions to the various state
institutions ordered by the legislature Is
being delayed because there is no state
architect to draw up plans. The admins
tration is in a quandary over the selection
of an architect. 1t has developed that
there is no law authorizing the executive
couEcil to elect an. architect. That power
is vested entirely with the board of public
works. 1t was the intention of the adj
ministration to abolish this board, as it
was considered entirely useless. but if this
Should be done no state architect could
be chosen. Now the governor is talking of
appointing a board for the purpose of
getting the architect. But if a board is
appointed public work must be done under
its supervision. This is not what the ad-
ministration wants. 1t proposed to allow
each board to supervise the improvements
at the institutions over which it had con-
troll. The difficulty may, be solved by the
governor appointing a board which will
promise to appoint the governors choice
as architect and not to assert its legal
rights in reference to the supervision of all
state work.

Anderson, Ind, May 9.-The gnats, which

at Marion and again took charge of the

St. Louis Mo-, May 9.-If Richard Yel-

an aristocratic suburb near Baltimore, Md,

BULLETPRooF CLOTH TESTED.
Chicago sexton's Invention Stops Lead
and Steel Balls With Great
Success.

Chicago, May 9.-Kasimer Zagler. the in
ventor of Il new device for protection
against bullets, made another test OH the
silk fabric at Rogers park yesterday after
noon before Colonel Stanislaus Sarnech
sent here by the Austrian government n
month ago to test the resisting powers of
the material. Yesterdays experiment is the
third that has been made, and it proved
comparatively successful
Il section of the silk fabric was nailed to
the Homan street pier and Policeman
Michael E. Smith and Sergeant Kroll, from
a distance of 80. 100 and 200 yards. fired
against it twenty steel cartridges from an
army rifle. and thirty 4S-caliber bullets from
a revolver. The latter glanced back with
ont penetrating the cloth at all. The steel
bullets stuck in the fabric, but did not in
any case pierce 1t.
Zagier is reticent concerning the COM
position of the cloth, as he has patent ap-
plications pending in the United States and
Europe. So far as known ii consists of a
lightly woven six texture, varying in thick
ness from three to tive-siXteenths of an
inch, according to the purpose for which
it is to be used
Zagler is sexton of the ST. Stanislaus
Polish church at Noble and Ingraham ave
nues. The assassination of Mayor Carter
H. Harrison led him to turn his genius
toward the invention.
The Austrian colonel will remain in Chi
cago to witness one more test and will then
report to his superiors at home.

MORE TALK ABOUT CUBA.
Prolonged and Spirited Debate Likely
to Begin I'm the Senate


To-day.
Washington. May 9.-There is no GER
ta'nty as to the line of proceeding in the
gan Cuban resolution probably will be
taken up Monday. and it may lead to
prolonged and spirited debate. Senator
Morgan is quite determined to press the
resolution to- an issue. and Senator Hale
just as determined to prevent its passage.
Mr.. Hale undoubtedly will move to refer
the resolution to the committee on foreign
relations, and an effort will be made to en-
against it. The committees will be filed
Monday or Tuesday. but as this will be
done on the basis heretofore agreed upon,
there will be no friction over the proceed
ingS. The conference report on the Indian
appropriation bill may cause some debate,
of the conferrees will be generally ac-
quiesced in.
The house programme of three-day ad-
iournments will be suspended this week.
The sundry civil appropriation bill has
passed the senate. and now returns to the
house for action on the amendments. The
programme pursued when the Indian bill
came back to the house will be followed In
the case of the sundry civil. That is, the
amendments will be considered in the house
before the bill is sent to conference. There
IS a good deal of bitter feeling among, the
soon as opportunity for debate is given,
and some very lively oratorical displays are
expected. The conference report on the
Indian appropriation bill also will be ready
for consideration before the week closes.
The questions involved in the opening of
the Uncompahgre reservation in Utah WILL
of course. furnish the main source OF con-
tention in the debate on this report.

pected the influence of the administration

President Mckinley does not assume to

rect influence on the part of the executive
Mckfnleys sole aim is to spur on the men,

Within the last week or two almost every
senator who has visited the White House
has been subjected to a kindly lecture from
the president on the necessity of rapid
work in the tariff bill. He has pointed out
to them that the country demands and has
Il right to expect early action so that busi-
ness conditions smay be speedily improved
and manufacturing enterprises started up
on the basis Of new tariff conditions. The
president has told his callers again and
again that ii was not so much question of
particular schedules as of rapidity of ac-

life easy. AS a consequence, there is a
general lack of energy all along the line,
and business of all kinds is stagnant.
THE common masses, of course, were
greatly disappointed when the income tax
law was knocked out. 1t was a favorite
law with them. And why should it not be?
