PoSToFFICE LAWSUIT.
The Departments Envelope Con
tract to Figure in Court


The determination of the Postmaster
predecessor has involved the Postofiice
Department in law suit.
The Purcell Envelope Company filed suit
in the Supreme Court OF the District of
Columbia yesterday against Postmaster
General Charles f. Smith to restrain him
from annulling the contract existing be-
tween the Government and the envelope
company. and to prevent the Postoffice
Department from permitting any other
person or corporation 10 furnish envelopes
and newspaper wrappers to the depart
ment.
H. L. Townsend, the vice-presldent
of the Purcell Envelope Company, who
makes the complaint, says that in FebIua-
~. 1895, his company entered into a con-
tract with the Hon. James a Gary 10
furnish the Postofice Department stamp
ed envelopes and newspaper wrappers for
period OF four years. beginning October
l. 1895. The bids for the contract were
opened on March 30 1895, and James A
Gary. then Postmaster General, awarded
the contract to the Purcell Envelope
Company.
On April 90 through the Third Assistant
Postmaster General, John A. Merritt the
company was notified OF the acceptance
of its bid in accordance with the specih-
cations, and within the required time the
Purcell Company furnished good and suf-
icient bond in the sum of 500 600 for the
faithful performance of the contract.
Mr. Townsend states further that not
withs.ariioE me fact that the Purcell
Company IS ready and willing to enter
n-o the performance Of the contract
made with James A Gary as Postmaster
! General he believes that Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith IS endeav-
orng to set aside the contract.

He arrived at Tacoma several days ago
with number of rich nuggets in his pos
session. One of his samples of ore as
sayed $50 in gold TO the ton. and another
nugget of harder ore. mixed with copper,
assayed 1850.
Although Sands was accompanied by ex-
perienced miners and. pro7pectors. he at
tributes his find to only the very rarest
good luck
After advancing thirty-fve miles
up the Sushitna River. he was
compelled to abandon the trip. Then one
of the miners discovered some float and
thiaking it came down the river began
to hunt for the body of ore. They were
misled in thinking that it came down
river and were prospecting fourteen
miles out of the way Wnen by the mer-
est accident the quartz vein was discov-
cred.
The float came down the sea coast and
when the ledge was finally found there
were tons of the richest ore in sight.
Notwithstanding his own good fortune
Mr.. Sands advises small prospectors to
keep away from the Cook Inlet section.
There is no use in man going in
there with small capital or a one or two
years grub stake He will only meet
with disappointment. There were $50 dis
appointed prospectors on the beach there

House last night Something will GER
tainly turn up that will show the Ameri-
can officials ,he folly of such a course,
1t has been said in some quarters that
this is an opera bouffe war, and this con-
tract, if il has been entered into, tends
10 confirm the charge. The Government
viii not permit its citizens 20 make con-
tracts with Spanish citizens and it should
not do so itself. Besides, we have at
great expense, built commerce destroyers
designed TO cripple the enemy by running
her trade. Is it nor inconsistent, then, at
one stroke of the pen to release eight of
her merchant vessels now bottled up in
American ports? 1t would be better to
pay double the money and go elsewhere
for transports. From legal standpoint
the Government is. of course, not bound
by any contract it may have made with
