President Rouse also had a conference

It is understood that President Rouse

According to the report of the fourth
assistant postmaster general, depreda-
tons committed against the postal
service during the year ending June
80, 1899, were as follows: Postofices
robbed, 1,4S1; mail trains and stages
held up, "a; letter boxes rified, &c; postal
cars burned and wrecked, Repositories
burned, 563; pouches stolen, 4SS Re
garding the latter item the report says:
The increase in the number of mail
pouches stolen during the last fiscal
year. as compared with the record of
1898. is accounted for by the arrest of
drivers of mail wagons in New York
and Chicago. These drivers had en-
tered into a conspiracy for a whole
sale robbery of the mails, and the
scheme was carried into effect both in
New York and Chicago whereby entire
pouches were distracted from the
wagons and their contents rifled. The
detection and arrest of these thieves
constitute one of the gratifying results
Of the inspectors work for the year.

held in universal esteem at home. Pro-
fessor Wharton was on the committee
that waited on President Mckinley and
Admiral Dewey and others to invite
them to washington, he had a personal
interview with the admiral, and he
makes this statement:
7 mad seen in one Of the sensational
newspapers of New York an elaborate
denial of the story that Admiral Dewey,
just before engaging the enemy at Ma
Mia bay, said: You may fire when
ready, Gridley." My belief was that
Dewey had used just those words. IN
order to verify that opinion and that
an historical truth might be conclu-
sively established, L inquired of the ad-
miral if he had made the remark. In
reply Admiral Dewey observed that he
had long since determined to neither
affirm nor deny the stories with which
his name was connected, because life
was too fleeing to consume time in
such vain efforts. but in order to satisfy
my mind, since the question was put so
direct, he did not mind admitting that
he said: You may fire when ready,
GridIey.' -
