Bank of Delaware, at Dover, would be
pleased if Walter Morris. its cashier
would devote more of his time to the
banks affairs and less of it to writing
and circulating political pamphlets for
the benefit of Democratic politicians
and candidates who hope to profit by
anti-railroad agitation. The bank
should hold no place in partisan poll
ties, and its chief officer should re-
frain from penning and giving public
ity to declarations which in many in
stances are not only undignified and
insulting, but also untrue.

THOMPSON QUITE INDIGNANT.
HAVANA POSTMASTER Is NOW UN-
DER SURVEILLANCE.

He Has Not Yet Explained the Short

the whole Service Should Not BE
BIamed for the Action OF n Few
RascaIs-Baracoa Postmaster Mas
Not Been Placed Under Arrest-In-
vestiga tion in Progress.
Havana, May 15.-Gov. Gen. Wood re-
ferring to-day to the postal service of
Cuba, says:
Speaking generally. the postal service
of the island of Cuba is in a high state
of efficiency. The service as a whole
should not be blamed for the faults of a
handful of rascals.'
E. P. Thompson, the Havana postmas-
ter who has been suspended, pending In
quiry into the methods of the local office,
came to the city this morning, accompan-
led by a special agent In whose charge
Mr.. Thompson has been placed. He is
very indignant at the course taken with
respect to him, and he says he has friends
who win stand by him. He also declares
that he has a clean AK with which TO
fight.
1t is merely asserted that the accounts
OF MS OIlICS SNOW d shortage OF several
thousand which calls for an explanation.
This is not yet forthcoming. He had a
long talk this morning with Gen Wood,
the nature of which has not been made
public. beyond the fact that Mr.. Thomp-
son offered to assist in bringing all the
guilty parties to justice.
Ncely's Innocent Tool.
The rumor circulated yesterday that the
postmaster at Baracoa had been or would
be arrested proves, upon investigation to
have been false. He is looked upon
merely as a tool of Nicely, and as having
acted innocently as the business agent of
Nicely at Baracoa, where he is in charge
of Neely's coffee and cocoanut plantation.
1t appears that he used 3d. 800 in connec-
ton with the business from the postal
funds and then drew upon Neely for the
amount. AS Neelys funds here are now
in the hands of the Governor, the draft
has not been honored. 1t is understood
that there is no intention to arrest this
man, but he will have to refund the
money, and may possibly lose his posi-
ton.
tomorrow with orders TO institute a thor
ough investigation. He will also place a
lien upon all of Neely's property there.
The Lucia, the Cubano and the Post
are the only papers that say much re-
garding the postal frauds. The Post
blames Mr. Rathbone for carelessness.
The Lucha takes his part. The Cubano
bitterly assails him for 'his extravagant
regime"
Gen. Wood does not desire as yet to
make further arrests, because of the ne
cessity as the law stands, to have a
preliminary trial within forty-eight hours
after an arrest. He believes that as il
is impossible for the suspected persons
to escape, justice will be equally well
served by keeping those accused under
the surveillance of detectives.

mons tonight Samuel Smith, Liberal

'Zaza," the Belle of New York. and
the Gay Lord Quex." declaring that such
plays "disgusted England's colonial and
American visitors"
T. P. O'Connor Nationalist member for
the Scotland division of Liverpool, said
that Mr.. Smith had never been in thea
ter in his life.
THE truth is exclaimed Mr.. O'Connor.
"that the stage is fairly representative of
current feeling and is the standard of the
tastes of the country
Sir Matthew White-Ridley, home secre-
tary, said the government had no control
over plays, but he had been informed by
the lord chamb rlain that certain things
might with advantage be subjected to
more strict supervision.
The House adjourned before a vote was
taken on Mr.. Smiths resolution.
