MAIL MATTER 1T HANDLES

Especial Correspondence of the Eagle.)
Washington, Dec. 1s.-Perhaps the big
gest thing in the bureau or department
line in Washington is the pension bureau
of the interior department. 1t is under
stood and misunderstood continually.
People who should know something about
it have very strange ideas lof its impor-
lance and size. The bureau of pensions
occupies mammoth building four
stories in height, a half block wide and
two blocks long. 1t is simply packed
with offices. clerks and files upon files
of pension papers. Still there is not suf-
hcient room to do the business. From
recent report of the commissioner some
interesting information is obtained of the
work done in this bureau This will
show quite effectively the magnitude of
the institution and the work DONE For
the fiscal year of 1896 there were over
100000 pieces of mail handled. For the
year 1897 there were over 100000 pieces
and for the year 1898 over $4,000 pieces
The congressional letters of inquiry for
1895 were over 100000, a gain of 80 per
cent from 1897. In the year 1898 the bu-
reau sent over 100000 letters, not
counting cards. This feature of the bu-
reau, if properly comprehended, will fur
nish ample explanation to any reason
able person for the delay which often en-
sues on the part of pensioners and others
in receiving as prompt attention as they
consider they should have 1t shows that
rbat To fo no
is really an incredibly short time, in
connection with the hundreds and thous-
ands of letters pouring in upon the bu-
reau daily, and the equally large number
going out.

CHAMBERS
EX0NERATED
Captain Exceeded His Au-
thority But Was
Courteous and
Gentlemanly

Tho charge preferred against Captain
Robert W. Chambers by Daniel DuRoss
was dismissed by the Police Commission
at It's meeting last night. The commission
by the vote of2 to passed the following
resolution.
AS 1t appears from evidence before the
board that Daniel DuRoss was selling
meat In violation OF the laws regulating
the street market. 1t Is tho opinion that
Captain Chambers. having compelled
Daniel DuRoss to either close his stand or
bc arrested for refusing or declining to do
SO and there rested his case, no complaint
would be considered against him. but as
he appears to pass on tho quality Of the
meat wo arc of the opinion that he ex-
ceeds his authority In that particular, but
as his whole action towards DuRoss WAS
gentlemanly and courteous we feel con-
strained to vote an exoneration.
Mr. Hart was opposed to the resolution
because it did not fully exonerate the cap
tain who performed In his opinion his full
duty under the circumstances.
Iu the case of officer j. Harry Massey
Mr.. Pyle offered the following resolution
and 1t prevailed.
"Resolved. That after perusing the va.
rious statement; that were submitted In
regard 10 the difficulty that occurred at
Third aud shipley streets on tho night OF
July IS, last, ard particularly that ono
submitted by Mr.. J. II. Martin, OF the
Star, we fail to see a very great deal OF
contradiction In them. Mr.. Martins
statement upon which the article in the
Star of sunday, July 16, was based was
corroborated in very many of the essenti-
oil points
But as lie (Mr. Martin) appeared upon
the scene when the affair was about half
over, and did not know anything about
the cause of the disturbance he was not In
possession of all the details and facts that
would prepare his mind, or any one else,
to give IN impartial opinion In the case
"Therefore ho very naturally reached
the conclusion that Officer S. H, Massey.
was engaged in street fight pure and
si,uple with one John Cassidy, without
any regard for the peace and good order
of society, whom as mattor Of fact he was
strictly in tho discharge of his duty be-
cause he was called upon by citizen that
was attacked by John Cassidy and Others
and that tho officers only took such action
as they deemed necessary to secure the
arrest of the accused, and prevent any at
tack on tho officer making the sams.
'In view of tho fact that Cassidy, the
accused, when placed before Judge Ball
with ahe evidence aealnet him, was asked
by the judge il he had ANYTHING to say
replied that he had no recollection of the
matter q fue of SO aud costs was imposed
which was paid without a word Of COM
plsint; he certainly did not feel that he
had given any grievance.
Cassidy has since left tho city, AMI no
responce has been received to o letter
written to him by the Chief of Police In
regard to the above after having wniled
ten days.

AT HIS OLD
TRICKS.
Charles William Edwards
Fight With the Union
Printers.

New York, August 7.Charlcs William
EdN ards Of your city has rate the New
York Sun office. He employed some fifty
printers in Philadelphia last week and
brought them over here on Sunday even
ing. An effort had been made on Satur'
day to stop the strike, the men asking A.
B. Paddock, the business manager for tho
Sun, to agree to employ none but Union
compositors.
The effort failed and the men numbering
over two hundred went out on strike.
The strikers include all Of the compositors
and the mailsrs employed in the office.
Edwards Is we'll known to the printers.
He several years ago had been employed
on the New York Tribune, having rated
the office, Previous to his advent into
your city strike took place In tho Morn
ing News office, and he was employed as
foreman in the composition room. He
then filled tho office with non.union men.
The discharged men of which l was one,
organized daily paper. the office being
in the building next to the city hall in the
Eckel building. The paper did rot prove
a financial su cess, and was after few Is.
sues discontinued. Edwards in few
years Left the News and started the Evcn-
ing journal with Fred Eden Bach which
Edwards soon acquired the controlling In
tersst, which Bach said left him the ex-
perience minus his money.
Edwards is credited with having rated
the Press office In Philadelphia. Now l
ask Low eau the working people OF your
city Wilmington take and read the Evon-
ing Journal after the action he has taken
in tho Sun office, to prevent the Union
printers from making an honest living,
and bring men here to take our places.
We mean to fight the Sun and all who are
in League together to take our bread and
butter from us. We ask as fellow work
ingmen that they help us to gain our end
