Claim Made That Postmasters Have
JuggIed With the Money
Orders.
AUDITOR CASTLES DISCOVERY
Adopts IA New System OF Checking
Which Will Present Like
Frauds in the Flu.
ture.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Auditor Cas-
tie of the postofice department. has
discovered Irregularities in money or
der accounts which may possibly re-
suit in n loss to the government OF a
considerable sum. They were brought
to light as the outcome Of a new sys-
tenn of checking accounts by postmas-
tiers which went into effect on the
first Of the year. About three years
q the practice of checking money
! order accounts in the Office OF the aud
itor was changed, they being audited
by stubs or coupons, and not by the
orders themselves as had been done
previously. If the postmaster's re-
turn correspondent in each item with
this coupon or stub the account was
assumed 10 be correct and was closed.
The money order itself was never
checked by the issuing postmaster's
returns, but was only used as a
voucher for the paying postmaster.
When Auditor Castle took charge of
the office he discovered defects in the
| system whirh made it possible for dis
honest p~ost,uasters to rob the govern
ment, and ascertained that there we're
nine possible ways in which this could
DC uOHe. Ilc tllth pun NV cBNin'C
a new system which he believes would
cover all defects. One Of the most inn
portant Of the changes decided upon
was the adjustment OF the coupon
entirely and the checking of both sides
Of the postmaster's account by h
money order itself. Several cases
have already been detected in which
orders were issued for as high as $50
and 500 and were reported by the IS
suing postmaster at 81 or 81 each.
How many such frauds were perpe-
trated during the three years in which
the old system was in operation can
only be guessed.
An examination of the 100000 600
money orders issued during that time
could be made, the auditor believes, by
100 men in a year, and if the rate OF
fraudulent orders just discovered con
| tinues he thinks it might be well TO
do this. How much the government
has lost will not be determined unless
such an examination is made.

SHERMAN THINKS IT'S ALL RIGHT
Could Have n Port i'm China Our
selves IL We Had Any
Use for IL,

New York, Jan. s~.--Speaking OF the
situation in China to a Herald Washing
ton correspondent last night, Secretary
of State Sherman said: Il think II will
now be in line for Russia and France to
take possession of China ports. Their
interests will require such action. Great
Britain has Hong Kong, which is the
seat for English interests, and now Ger
many has Kiao-Chou. Russia Is desir-
Gus Of obtaining a southern port. where
her ships will not be frozen in during the
winter. Besides her commercial inter-
ests are such that she ought to have a
Chinese port, such as sSe has obtained.
80 far as American commerce is con
cerned, ] expect II will have the same
rights in Kiao-Chou as that OF Germany.
This depends. however, on the CONNER
cial regulations which Germany Will
place in force. From my understanding
Of tho matter, Germany is not given title
10 territory, but she has a right TO sub
stltute her laws for those which the Chi
nese hitherto had In force. Her mer-
chants will consequently not be subject
to the laws Of China at Kiao-Chou. but
will be required to observe the German
laws. ] presume the Germans will now
establish a large navy at Kiao-Chou
and push their commercial interests as
vigorously as possible. i suppose If the
United States would indicate to China
its desire to obtain a Chinese port the
Pekin government would be willing 10
grant 1t. But we want no such port.
Our commercial interests are satisfac-
torily protected at present with treaties
at Hong Kong and we will probably
have the same rights at Kiao-Chou as
we are granted the freedom OF the port
in the same way as are the British"

Plan 10 Save Flour Gold.

Lead, Jan. 11.-For a number Of years T.
J. Grier, superintendent Of the great
Homestake mine in this city, has been
making experiments to find some method
to save the large amount OF
aour gold which has, ever since
the treating Of free milling
pres by the stmp mill, one TO waste, more
or less. There has been a mistaken idea
for perhaps half a century that warm wa
ter used in the mill would save more gold
than cold water. Mr.. Grier has a different
Idea. He caused to be built below the cop
per amalgamating plates In front OF a bat
terry of five stamps a silver plate twelve
feet in length and about the same width
as the upper plate. Mr.. Grier found that
much more gold was saved with the water
at n temperature of 80 degrees F.. than at
60. AT the latter temperature nearly all
of the flle gold will be lost by reason OF
the decomposition of the iron sulphides,
coating the globules Of the quick silver
with a thin film of iron oxide which pre-
vents the fine particles of gold from COM
ing In contact with the mercury. This is
considered one of the greatest discoveries
ever made in the recovery Of fine gold. II
has already saved thousands Of dollars in
the mills of the Homestake.

CUSTER CHRONICLE
JOSEPH KUBLER PUBLISHER

Much satisfaction has been caused
in France by the publication of stats
ties for 1896, which show the popula-
ton of France TO be increasing. In
1898 the number of births only exceed
ed the deaths by TAG. In 1894 the eX-
cess rose to 39,76s, which was also a
trifing figure for a population Of 49,
600, 900 and which justified the anxiety
as regarded the future. Nor did the
alarm appear to be groundless in 1898
for the number Of deaths that year eX-
ceeded the births by 11,sl3. The fig
ures of 1896 show, however, that last
year there were $4,000 more births
than deaths.
