The appointment of a cashier to this Of

circle Of the few that are rated in the
five first classes. The position will not be
held under civil-service rules, but the APP
pointee will be required 10 give large

salary attached TO the position is the
same as that of the assistant postmas-

OFFICE WITHOUT A JANITOR.

liability for the janitor's salary, led to the

that when a post-oiiice is situated in a
Federal building as is the case in Rich

supply the necessary workmen. The Trea-

WORD TO RESIGN
sEC'Y LANyLEss OFFERED COM-
MAND OF COMMONWEALTH GUARD.
FIRST REGIMENT UNIFORM QUESTION
No solution Yet Reached-The Rich
mond Rifles Meet, But Do Not Elect
ing StendiIy.

Captain Charles a. Crawford. of Com.
| pany d., First Virginia Regiment, has
signlfied his intention to resign his com
mand, and Hon. Joseph T. Lawless, Sec
rotary of the Commonwealth. has been
asked 10 accept the commission
Captain Crawford. who Is one of the
best informed and most capable officers
OF the regiment has become not a little
dissatisfied with the status Of affairs. He
was willing 10 lead his company where
ever it might be ordered, under certain
restrictions, but his command was not
only left out in the cold, but drained OF
some OF it's best men. The delay in re-
organizing the regiment too, has been a
source Of some dissatisfaction. and Cap
tain Crawford's proposed retirement is one
of the results.
WOULD WELCOME LAWLESS.
The regiment, or what is left OF It,.
is particularly anxious that Secretary
I.awless shall take command OF Com
pany D. which is known as the Guard
OF the Commonwealth. when Captain
Crawford retires. Recruits have not been
coming in very rapidly of late. but It Is
said that the company will reach tho
standard very soon. There Is some ex-
ceIlent material on hand, and though the
average height falls an inch or two below
the coveted standard Of 6 feet. IL is hoped
that the Secretary will not hold aloof
on this account.
Companies and G. are recruiting rapid
~. and both are near the maximum. The
auxiliary companies formed by Colonel
Spotswood and Captain Tenant are
ready to be mustered into the State SER
vice as soon as the Governor shall de-
eide the fate of the regiment.
RICHMOND RIFLES NOT ORGANIZED.
The Richmond Rifles. recruited by Mr..
George Carter, meet at the Armory last
night TO elect officers. Mr.. Carter an
nounced that he had been reliably in
formed that no election would be cons!d-
cred regular that took place before forty
one men were enlisted. that number be-
ing the minimum required by law. The
company has only thirty members at
present. and under these circumstances,
there was nothing left to do but adjourn
the meeting subject TO Mr. Carriers call.
There was Joy In the Armory last night
for Lieutenant Colonel Anderson had re-
ceived a telegram from Captain r. l..
Masurier, OF the old Company f. that his
men had won the first and third prizes
