TO FIX POSTAL PEOPLE.

New York, March 1s.-Sam usl Keller
continued his testimony today regarding
the methods of operation Of the K. s.
Dean company, when the trial of James
B. Kellogg, indicted last March by the
grand jury or swindling, was resumd
before Recorder Golf.
Yesterday Keller swore that he was
promised no immunity for turning states
evidence.
Keller testified that on one occasion
Kellogg asked him for $500 which he said
was to fix the postal people. Our mail
was getting too big, he said, and the pos.
tai people were beginning to kick. Later
he said Kellogg told him that $500 was
not enough and later he asked or $1,000 to
keep things going for two weeks longer.
Keller said that during the latter part of
March business was roor, money coming
In slowly and drafts drawn on the con-
oern were pouring In from all over the
country. He then mads ar engagements
with Theodore W, Myers & Co., to wash
a lot OF whe. t." He bought aud SO Id q
million bushels simultaneously. He paid
Myers g. Co., q check of $50, 600 for COM
mission and received In return from them
ga, coo in currency. Keller said be
divided tire s24, 100 With Kellogg. Keller
told OF q similar transaction the next
day amounting TO SO. COO.

sibls for bis attitude and his performances
es at Friday evening SESSIONS. He says
he wants 10 sss the worthy old soldier set
. pension, but is down on the ''deSsrters,
coffvs-coolers and bounty Jumpers.
Therefore he contends that there should
be o quorum Of mem bers present when
the bills are considered, In order that
they may be examined properly. OF
course he has right TO demand the
quorum; but the members Interested In
bills have thought he was raising rather
q nns point on them SONS evenings when
only eight or ten were lacking Of .
quorum.
Mr.. TAlbert began bis tactics ct the
first OF this session with much vigor.
de had obstructed some in the two pre-
vious Congresses; but had always got
soft-hearted aud yielded to the impor-
tunitiss of his associates. He would
then withdraw the point of no quorum
and allow business to proceed.
But this ssfsion Mr.. Talbert seemed to
have armor of nickel-steel around his
heart. He would not yield but persist
ed every evening In calling for quorum.
There was always an effort to get the
quorum. Members were sent for and ar
rested by the Sereeant-st-arms, while
others hid when that functionary was
known to be ravaging the town. The
House would get into an uproar but
would fail to realize the quorum or do
business
In this dilemma Mr.. s ullow way betook
himself to the Committee on Rules, and

CAPTAIN M'CALLA PARDoNED.

Washington, March 13-President Mo-
Kinlsy has granted full and uncondi.
tional pardon to Captain Bowman II.
Mccall la of the navy, now serving In the
Philippines. In 1890 Captain McCalla,
then a commander. was convicted BY
court martial OF striking mutinous
sailor with the back OF his sword and
was sentenced to. be suspended from the
rank and duty for period OF three
years. In 1891 the unexpired portion OF
the sentences wns renitted by the Score
tary OF the Navy and later Captain Mo
Gala was presented to the Senate rs a
captain. which would have restored him
to his old position. The Senate. however.
refused to confirm the nomination. In
view Of the fact o. Captain McCalla's
conspicuous services In the war with
spain and later in the Philippines the
President has granted BIN full pardon,
which will operate TO restore him to his
old rank and position.

ATLANTIC SHORE LINE.
Railroad Commissioners view and
Approve Location.


BIddsford, March 1s-Auother move
preparatory to building the Atlantic
Shore Line electric railroad from BIdde-
ford TO York was made today. The state
railroad commissioners came here this
morning. were driven to kennebunkport
over the upper road. and returned By the
lower road, and In the afternoon gave a
hearing on the oompany's petition for an
approval Of that part OF It's route which
departs from the public highway.
Herbert n. Heath, ESQ.,, Of Augusta
and Fred J. Allen, ESQ OF Sanford were
present 20 coun sci for the petitioners.
There were also present representatives Of
Biddefofd, Kennebunk, Kennebunkport,
Wells and York, the towns through
which the road IL 10 be built, but no
objection was offered BY anyone.
Iastead OF following either carriage
road bstweeu here and Keunebunkport,
the rorte selected by the company for it's
trolley line goes straight across country
over plains and through woods. In re-
srcnss to questions from Mr.. Heath and
the commissioners, Civil Engineer Rich
ardson of Portland who made the survey,
explained that 1t would be impracticable
TO follow either Of the two carriage roads
between Biddeford and kennebunkp port.
for the reason that they are too narrow
and full Of sharp CURVES ana angles,
while lodges abound TO such an extent
than an exerbitsnt expenditure would be
necessary to establish road bed. Be-
sides, the route across country Is more
than q mile shorter than either road,
which means q saving Of twenty minutes
In running time, and consequent saw
ing in operating expenfes. The route
chosen Ia comparatively level, tina highest
grade encountered, outside the city limits
of Biddtord, being four per cent. .
The petitioners further explained that
N sny purchasers of right OF way over
privats land have been made, and there
is no peudiug controversy IS to the Ioca-
tion over any part Of the route referred
to. As to the route within Biddeford's
city limits, Mr.. Heath admitted that 1t
was rather too crooked to suit him, but
1t seemed to be the hest that could be
done, considering that ths Biddeford and
Saco railroad has been granted rights on
ELM and Alfred streets, which excludes
all other seekers Of location In those
streets.
Mr.. Smith, who lives near the Kenne-
bunkport terminus OF the lower carriage
road. expressed wish that the company
might change Its route SO as to follow
that road part OF the way toward Bidde-
ford, but he admitted the impracticability
Of following either road any considerable
distance.
Chairman Peaks remarked that street
railroads are supposed to be for strests. IL
they can be built In that way, but In this
case It seemed only question OF which
wood route should be followed.
The commissioners decided to approve
the route as far as the corner Of Birch
and Summer streets In this city, postpon-
Ing their action in regard to the route
within the city limits, in the hope that
the war may De opened for a straighter
route to City Hall square.

when Mr.. Talnert got TOO obstreperous.

Ing sessions and devotlng two Fridays in

Thursday, and on last Friday Me. Tai

but the roll call soon rallied the quorum
and business proceeded.
This gives Mr.. Sulloway much satis-
faction. He believes In giving q pension
to everyone possible. One Of his frequent
and characteristics expressions L.: az

he said he thenked God that his country

The Portland daily press., 1900-03-14

Friday evening has been devoted to the
passage OF such bills. There has been
only one difficulty with this plan. 1t is
impossible to set enough members of
the House to attend an evening session to
make quorum, which is l79 members.
So the proceedings at an evening session
are at the mercy Of any member who
may wish to stop them by raising the
point that no quorum Is present. In
years past this point has been raised CO.
oasionally, and has resulted In the loss Of
few evenings. But usually the Chair
man OF the Committee on Invalid Pen
sions, who has especial charge Of the
evening pension legislation, has managed
to smooth down opposition so as to get
his business transacted without the
quorum.

that the henetioiarles had to live, the cost
Involved in all the bills passed In an
average Congress was only little over

wide his long arms, SIS no more than
