Gave the Officers Trouble and nuw-
aged Property

well-dressed young man from RaIti
| mere. who gave his name as Emory Call
made considerable trouble last night for,
the officers of the first precinct, and after
being placed in cell he DESTROYED the
grazing on the door interded to prevent the
picking of the lock For doing this an ad-
ditional charge of destroying propertv was
preferred against him.
Ihe young man was dressed in a light
brown suit of clothes and wore a high col
lar, with red tie. When he appeared in
court this morning he also Wore a pair OF
kid gloves.
He entered the police station yesterday
afternoon and leaned over the rail in an in
quiring attitude. until the clerk asked.
What can l do for you today?'
None of your - business" was the
quick response.
Then can l do anything for you?' asked
the officer in charge of the patrol service
Il want to be locked up was his answer
this time.
He was advised to go to the lodging house
next door to the station, but this, he said
would not do.
Il won't go out of here" he said, '.for
am liable to kill somebody and get into
trouble"
The young man was then put in q cell
and two hours iaer his violence of language
disturbed the officers in the station This
disturbance he followed up by kicking
against the grating.
II think his mind is a little wrong" an
off1cer told Judge Scott this morning after
he had told of Calls conduct in the station

why don't you return to Baltimore? ?"
the court asked the young man.
That's my business he answered.

That's my business, too"
Judge Scott told him that the officer had
suggested some mental disturbance and the
defendant said he would admit he had some
trouble.
When asked what he wanted to do he said
it was his intention to return to Baltimore
as soon as possible. The court thereupon

SOLDIERS NAH. ASTRAi,
Comparatively Few Letters Returned
to the Dead letter 0MSe.

Acting Postmaster General Heath made
the following statement yesterday regard
ing published statements that soldiers
mail is being received at the dead letter
office in large quantities:
Comparatively few letters have teen re-
turned 20 the dead letter office from the
military camps. The percentage is much
less than of the returned letters addressed
to citizens throughout the country. At the
beginning of the war many friends and rel
atives of soldiers failed to address their
mail properly to the boys in the military
camps and elsewhere. more than half of
the mail emitting the name of the cornpany
or regiment on the envelopes, yet very few
letters went astray, although for a time
there was some delay and confusion.
The most serious delay to the mail Oc-
CURED at Tampa and Key West just prior
to the emb9rkarion of the troops for SAN

however There was also some delay in the

Brewer at that point concealed the where

was delayed some two or three weeks bu.

stoned by death.
I'm order to overcome the confusion and
sometimes delay due to failure to address
mail properly to the soldiers the War De-
partment some two or three months ago

the regular roster OF troops in possession
of regimcntal commanders, it became only
a matter of labor to locate soldier and to

mental comma nders.
Special attention is given to every piece
of mail received at the dead letter Office
addressed TO a soldier or sailor Every pos

THE DEPARTMENTS POLICY.
A Significant Letter From the First
Assistant Postmaster General.

The following letter regarding the policy
of the Post Office Department in labor mat
ters was sent yesterday:
Mr. NJ. A. Louis Chief Supply Division,
Post Office Department.:
'Sir-Referring to your application today
for authority to have done as emergency
work certain printing needed by the Post
Office Department, L want to remind you of
my order issued last year, in which it was
made peremptory that all of the printing
under your direction should be given to
offices only employing union labor. Before
making any order contract for emer-
gency or other printing, ascertain through
some officer of the local printers unions
whether or not the establishment to which
1T is proposed to award the printing is in
good standing with the printers and other
labor unions.
The order of last year above referred to
was given you in connection with one pro-
vid.ng that favor be given in the purchase
of goods to domestic manufacturers, as we
desire to consume American rather than
foreign-maue goods. Respectfully,

INDIANA SAFELY REPUBLICAN,.
Prediction of senator FairbanLs
Who Has Entered the Campaign.
speclaI Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
INDIANAPOLIS Octnhar Il 1sns

INDIANAPOLIS, October II, 1S9s
The political fight in this state begins to
show warmth. With this activity the pros
poets for the republicans grow brighter
Senator Fairbanks has returned from Can
ada, and new vIgor has been thrown into
the republican ranks. Since tn. senator's
return he has been in close conInu 1ication
with the party committee, and with leading
workers from different paris Of the state.
and has thoroughly famliarized himself
with the situation of affairs, and has out
forth his powers of organization and as a
peacemaker. The results are already beins,
seen in renewed confidence and an IN
crease of activity
When asked today as 10 lis judgment On
the outlook, the senator said:
There is no cause for any discoura re-
ment or doubt. We will carry he state
and will hold all our present members Of
Congress- and possibly make a gain. The
situation in the first district is by no means
as bad as our democratic friends would try
to have us believe. There have been some
factional differences down there, as will
occur almost every year IN some places but
the feeling does not extend To any alarm
ing degree as against AIR. Hammenway
nor will ii affect the local ticket 50 as to
endanger 1t. Those differences are such as
can be readily healed, and before the e:ec-
uon comes around the party IN Nanderburg
will be found working In ,..:ire harmony,
ana with the old-time vigor. The commit
tee feel conffda mt of Mr.. Hemmcnway's sac
cess, and from information nave obtained,
share that confidence. The truth is the
people of Indiana have confidence in the
present administration. ThAy realize that
great and momentous questions have to be
settled-the accession of Hawaii, and OF
Porto Rico, with the complica tions arising
in connection with Cuba and the Philippine
Islands, mark a new era in the life OF the
nation. The people fully realize the i'm
portance of having a Congress in sympathy
with the President, and they will not let
any factional differences prevent them
from giving Mr.. Mckinley a cordial sup
pert
THE war with Spain was so suddenly be-
gun, and so quickly ended, that We have
hardly been able to grasp fully the great
questions that are now to be settled, or the
future that is looming up before u.s."
The senator will take an active part in
the campaign until the election, and his
presence In the state Will have marked
effect on the republicans. The democrats
are not quite as confident of complete sue
cess as they were a week ago, but they are
claiming Overstreet's defeat with more as
surance than formerly. They claim that
the gold democrats will vote with thai
party this time.
