CUTTING DOWN THE EXPENSES.
Under Eristow's Reorganization an Annual
Saving of $40, 900 is Promised.
(By the Associated Press.)

Havana, June 15.-FOurth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow, acting Di-
rector Of Posts in Cuba, says he will prob
ably complete his special work in CON
nectlOn with the department so as 10 be
able 10 leave the island June 31st. He has
decided upon a definite plan of re-orgaH-
%ization. reducing the amount paid to Off
ficials to a level with that paid in the
United States. The schedule to be adopt
cd viii effect a saving Of $1l 700 q year,
and possibly more, when the inspectors
snail have completed their Investigations.
The greatest saving however. will be
effected III the smaller Offices where lar
ger salaries have been paid, irrespective
Of the amount Of business done. Radical
changes viii be made in many of these
especially where Americans have been
employed and where salaries, ranging
from 81 900 TO $1,400 are beyond what the
receipts Justify. Two hundred and eighty
Of these small Offices viii be re-organized
with a total annual saving OF $50, 900,
making the total FOR the island $50, 090.
This amount added to reductions former
~ made gives a grand total Of $1l0, 0O0
f1n 1899 miscellaneous expenses amount
cd to $50. 0O0. Mr.. Bristow believes they
can be covered with less than $40, Geo.
For instance printing and stationery last
year cost $50 geo whereas they should not
nave cost more than $l0.0o0. In many
cases bills were paid twice.
Beginning with the fiscal year, July
list. there should be a saving Of $3.50, 600.
ncducting from this 20.00o for the addi-
tional transportation Of mails there
hould be left q net reduction OF $40
GEO. Mr.. BristoW believes that reductions
in other quarters can be made, thus MAX
ing the service as nearly self supporting
as possible. Last year the gross cNpcn-
dituIcs We're $G12, 000, and the gross re
ceipts $3.50. GEO. Postal receipts now
amount. at 4 fair average. to 81 900 q day
and tho gross receipts for the year
should be $3.50, 600. or $1f3. 600 more than
G.. +. ". Neelcy reported.

C0NARDLY AIT
Scott Shadrack, of Youngs-
vile is Shot Down.
He Was Brought 10 Rex Hospital Yesterday.
The hssaiianls Supposed 10 be
Moonshiners.

As the result Of q ~cowardly and
dastardly attempt upon his life, Mr..
Scott Shadrick, Of Noungsyille, lies at
the Rex Hospital dangerously wound
ed. and with the sight Of II OF his
eyes probably lost.
The names OF the ones Who attelnpt-
ed the deed are not known bat there
is 4 strong slue to their identity.
The attempt was one of the most
cowardly proceedings that has ever
taken place in the State. It's perpetra-
tors were determined to have Shad-
rick's life at all hazards and shot him
down While he was attempting to ex-
tinguiSh the flames which they had
ruthlessly applied to his home.
From the effects of his wounds he
has lost the sight Of one eye; and
there are probably seVenty-tive shot in
his body. His asSailantS fired al him
four times. and he says, he received
the contents Of the gun twice.
The assault tool place night before
last, about / o'clock. The men plac~
ed fodder under Shadrick's house and
set it on fire. Shadrick came to the
door to investigate, and was shot by
the men outside. One shot entered
his 1e1t eve ana Oi!lcIS HIS lltdi, hihl
some entered his shoulder The mem
fired four times, and Shadricll says
,that their shots took effect twice. The
/ 9st shot took effect in his legs below
tIp knees. The guns were loaded with
sn ,aIl shot oreles he would have been
XII led instantly.
\ eter the shooting his wife Went Out
and pulled the burning fodder from
unde.r the house, but the men paid 10
attention to her. She saw them un-
der 50 re peach trees III the yard and
heard item talk but did not recoo-
nize any Of them. Sladrick says he
is confident he would have known
them had he not been blinded by the
first shot.
\ wildcat" vhiskey still two miles
west Of YouIArsvilie, was broken up
bv Revenue officers about the first of
June and if was said that Shadrick
..informed' the officers of its exist
ence and locality. 1t is supposed that
the proprietors OF the still were of this
opinion and that they made this at
tack upon Shadrick for revenge.
He is q brother Of Robt. Shadrick,
who works in the Pilot cotton Mills
at this place.
At Il late hour last night it was
learned that his Wounds are not con
sidered very dangerous. and that he
was resting alsy. His Wife is expect
ed here toda.7.
Shadrick denies having informed on

Canal md Subsidy.

The Administration, which is steruly de-
termined that there shall be no canal leg
islation at this session of Congress. is
equally anxious that the Hanna ship Sub
sidy bill shall become law. To some citi-
zens this may seem a strange thing. II Is
not. On the contrary. it fairly represents
Administration consistency in obeying the
commands and subscribing the purposes OF
the trusts.
Still, to the uniformed. the contrast
presented may be not so interesting as it
is exasperating. Here. on the one hand. is
a great national aspiration represented in
the demand of the American people for the
Nicaragua Canal. 1t must go to the WALL
because its enemies are powerful pluto
Gratis and corporations which will be gen.
erous campaign contributors if canal leg
islation is defeated. and not otherwise.
On the other hand, we have the Ship Sub
sidy bill, whose beneiciaries viii dip iato
the Treasury to the tune of nine million
dollars a year, and who. it has been
charged, are willing 10 pour the loot OF
one year into the Republican campaign
barrel as a guarantee of good faith.
Some Of the opponents of the Nicaragua
Canal happen to be among the people VINO
will share in the subsidy millions. Sue
cess in smothering one bill and jamming
through the other will enable the Repub-
lican managers to catch them coming and,
again, going. They will pay double. We
commend the spectacle to the voters OF
the country.

The bill now under discussion in the Sen
ate. intended to protect wild birds from the
reckless pot-hunters who sell them for
use in millinery, has called forth some
spirited expressions of opinion from the
milliners. One young woman asks il hu-
man beings are to be regarded as less i'm
portant than animals, and II a business
which employs many worthy and indus
trious persons is TO be ruined for the sake
OF preserving birds. She points out the
fact that there is and always will be suffer
ing on the earth, that the animals killed
for food are made to suffer for the profit of
man. TO say nothing Of those whose skins
are used for leather and fur garments OF
various kinds 1t is argued from this that
the feather industry is legitimate and
should be protected By public sentiment.
There is something In all this. but those
who make these arguments overlook I'M
portant points On the other side. The an-
lmais which are killed to supply meat to
the butchers or leather to the shoemakers
suffer instant death. They are not tor
tured. and their death involves no useless
suffering. In the case of egrets the piumes
are taken from the mother bird at brood
ing time, so that the young are left 10

THE coEuR D'ALENE ENQUIRY.
Slow Progress BEFORE the House
Committee ON Military Affairs.

The hearing in the Idaho mining trouble
before the House Committee on Military
Affairs yesterday progressed very slowly.
Owing to the absence of several Repub-
lican members the committee was equally
divided. five Republicans and five Demo-
Gratis being present Henry O. Howes, q
grocer OF Wardner. was on the stand and
objection was made by the Democrats to
nearly every portion OF the testimony. The
objections failed on account of the tie
vote Howes described the coming of the
train bearing the masked miners, the pur-
chase OF ammunition, and the destruction
of the mill. He said a general state Of
lawlessness had prevailed in the Occur
d'Alene region for long time prior to the
destruction of the conceutrator and he
believed the declaration of martial law
was necessary.
Attorney Robertson tried to impeach the
announcement of Attorney Crossthwaite
that Mr.. Howes was an unprecedented wit
ness.
Didn't you spend time and money in
making up evidence against Paul Corcoran
in his trial growing out of the riots?' he
asked. Didn't you take a special ride up
to Burke on top Of a railway box ear, with
your legs hanging over the side. in order
to controyert the evidence CT the de-
fence"
Mr.. Howcs admitted that such was the
case.
In response to direct questioning about
the blowing up of the mill he recounted
how a mob of miners union men. masked
and armed. assembled in Wallace prior
to attacking the Bunker Hill mill. One
of them distributed a number OF silver
dollars-perhaps twenty-five altogether
among masked men who wanted TO get
ammunition for their rifles.
At the morning session there was some
controversy as to the publication IN the
records of the names Of the men impris-
oned In the bull pen. At previous ses-
sion the committee had ordered the pub
licatiou of the official roster of the prison.
In the front of the roster was newspaper
Ginning giving the names of several pris-
oners who were styled ''ringleaders" by
the reporter. The clipping was inadvert-
entity included in the roster as published
in the official record. Mr.. SulZer protest.
ed on the part of the minority of the
committee and asked that the objection
able section be stricken out. On a tie
vote his motion was lost.

ATOMS MILITARY TRAFFIC.
The Company Gets an Unusual Share
of the Busipess.

CHICAGO. April 9.-Western passenger
agents are greatly surprised at the annual
report OF the Alton Road. showing that it
carried $4,000 soldiers last year. This vas
a larger number than the combined mill
tary traffic OF all other lines The roads
had agreed to pool the military traffic. Bat
the War Department, becoming cosnizant
OF the fact shipped the soldiers over the
Alton. What passenger officials OF other
roads would like to know is. what rste
did the Alton get? George J. Charlton.
General Passenger Agent Of the Alton.
explains the military traffic of his road
for 1899 as including a number OF soldiers
really carried in 1898, when troops were
transported from Chicago to the Spring
field encampment and from there to other
encampments at Florida, where they were
held in readiness for movement to Cuba.
As the Government did not settle for Ihis
traffic until lS99. the revenue was included
in the report Of 1899.
