MIR. TALBOT IN CHAlsG T..

Mr.. Hattersly w. Talbot, the new Su-
perintendent of the State Bureau of I'M
migration, took charge of the 1mmigra-
ton Bureau in the Merchants Bank
Building Monday, displacing Mr.. Little
ton T. Dryden, the retiring Superintend-
ent
Messrs. Charles n. Target and ]. w.
Kerr, the newly appointed commissioners
of the bureau. were on hand to meet the
new Superintendent. The board held a
short session with Target as president.
The work of the bureau was informally
discussed by the three officials and they
adjourned to meet on Monday next, at
which meeting 4 secretary to the board
will be selected.
MIR. Talbot qualified before Thomas
Dawson, the clerk of lhc Montgomery
County Circuit Court, and presented his
bond for $4,000, which was signed by
Judge James V. Henderson and Spencer
c. Jones, of Rockville.
Superintendent Talbot said that he had
not taken up the question of making any
changes in the personnel of the office.
When asked if Mr.. Albert Almony, of
Rockville, would be appointed secretary
in the place of Mr.. C. W. Van der Hoogt,
the present incumbent, Mr., Talbot said
I am not prepared to make any pre-.
dictions in this matter The members of
the board have agreed with me that it
would be best for US to look into the fl
nances which have been set aside for the
use of the bureau, and as the amount,
understand, is less by $4,000 than before,
we will be compelled to practice economy
Rev. r. ii. Joldersma, who has been
acting as superintendent Of agents for the
old board, was present at the meeting,
and made request that he be retained in
this capacity. No action was taken in
the matter, which will not be settled until
Monday next,

CUBAN FRAUDS GROW.

The extent of the postal frauds is far
greater than originally suspected. Be
sides taking in the Postal Department,
the frauds seem to include the local office
at Havana and various other offices
througout the island and also to have eN-
tended to outside points which have been
used for the sale of some of the old issue
of stamps that were ordered destroyed.
| The result of the investi CATION at the
local postotlice is the suspension of Post
master Thompson, who was installed i'll
| April of last year. He will remain at
his own house for the present. Moya and
Mascara, stamp sellers in the main office,
have also been arrested and further arrests
are expected tomorrow. AS many as six
others have been placed under the closest
surveillance, and they will be arrested as
soon as their services can be spared. As
a matter of fact, if they were all to be
suddenly relieved of duty it would not be
possible to carry on the Postal Depart
ment of Havana.
Messrs. Reeves and Reynolds, the au
ditors of the Postal Department, are still
under arrest at their own rooms in.charge
of detectives. Special quaters will, how
ever be prepared in some fortress, where
all tie prisoners will be taken as soon as
arrested.
Mondays arrests and the suspension of
Mr.. Thompson did not take place until
after dark, and consequently these new
| features of the case are not generally
know throughout the city Monday even
ing, but there is percertble excitement
at the postof1ice, where no one knows
who may be the next to be singled out
| E. G. Rathbone desires it said that there
is no truth in the report circulated in the
| United States that there is friction between
the military authorities here and the Pos
tai Department. On the contrary, the
most complete harmony prevails between
| General Wood and himself, consultations
taking place between them daily. He
also says he does not consider it proper
in the present circumstances to give out
interviews for publication and has so an
| ScICu all ltl pcISoHdl
ments that have been cab,ed him from the
United States.
Mr.. Sheridan will temporarily fill Mr..
Thompson's place. 1t appears that the
frauds ramified in almost every possible
direction; even the rented boxes have
been made source Of illegitimate gain.
Every additional revelation increases
the amaZement of the Americans here.
The Cubans seem to be immensely pleas
ed. They declare that the Americans can
no longer boast in Cuba Of their superior
honesty when in Government employ.
General Wood devotes several hours
daily to postal affairs, hearing the reports
of special agents and comforting with Mr..
Rathbone and others having any knowl-
edge of the matter. AS yet it is impossi-
BILE say how many persons will be impli-

THE MOTHER OF TRUSTS.

Evcrv day furnishes further evidence of
the truth of Mr.. Havemcyer's assertion
that the tariff is the mother of trusts. The
Chicago Record says:
The Print Paper Trust is one whose
power for evil is clearly traceable to the
operation of protective tariff. The rails
ing of prices of white paper has called
forth protests from large numbers of news
paper publishers, some of whom represent
Journals that are in favor OF the high pro-
lection policy, except where it operates to
foster trusts.
appeal has been made to Congress for
relief through the removal of the duties on
all materials entering into the manufac-
ture of print paper, and May 30th has been
set aside by the House Ways and Means
Committee as the date for hearings on the
subject The date is rather late if results
are to be attained at this session, but per-
haps the evident relation of the tariff to
the trust in this instance may lead Con-
gress to take speedy action when the stu
alton is plainly laid before the members
of that body"

A favorable report has been made by
Senator Hawley from the Committee on
Military Affairs on an amendment to the
Sundry Civil Appropriation bill provid-
ing for the burial in Arlington National
Cemetery of Confederate dead. There
are 1876 bodies scattered in Arlington,
principally in three struggling groups.
They have thin marble headstone which
bear no mark to disting uish them from
the contrabands and refugees, whose
graves are marked by the same descrip-
ton of stone. There are 1913 bodies in
the National Cemetery at the Soldiers
Home, and these are among the Union
dead These 1913 have headstones like
those of the Confederate dead, the con-
trabands and refugees at Arlington bear
ing no distinguishing marks whatever.
The Arlington estate contains 600 acres
and only 400 acres have thus far been
converted to the uses of a cemetery. Scna-
tor Hawley says the desire of many sur
viving Confederate soldiers of all grades
to see the bodies of their comrades gath
cred into one plot of ground and decently
cared for is entirely reasonable and cred

OLEOMARGARINE.

According to the data supplied to Con-
gress by Secretary Gage as to the constitu-
ents of oleomargarine, there is very little
butter, cream or milk in it. OF the cleo
margarine manufactured in December last
about 80 per cent was lard, nearly % per
cent. was oleO oil, 81 pei cent. was cot
tonseed oil, GO per cent. was butter oil,
GS3 per cent. was salt and there were frac-
tons of per cent. of glycerin, stearine,
sesame, sugar and glucose. The butter
was nine tenths of per cent, or less than
one -hundredth of the whole, The milk
in it, however, figured out 1913 per cent.
and cream 400 per cent. The "butter OIL
here mentioned sounds well, but it turns
out to be a variety Of cottonseed oil. 1t is
hard to see what right sugar, glyCerin,
glucose and sesame oil have to parade in
the butter of the masses. OF the So 900, 900
pounds Cf oleomargarine sold in 1899,
some Il 600, 900 pounds were fat not de-
rived from milk, and of this fat 81 ,291, Pol
