Make an Endeavor to Head
on Speculative Bidders.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The office of
the second assistant postmaster gen
eral is preparing the usual annual ad-
vertisement, which will be issued
about September Is next, for the car
riage of mails on star routes. This
advertisement will be of unusual i'm
portance, as it is designed to check
an alleged proposed combination of
star-route bidders, and, for the first
time, will require as a guarantee of
satisfactory performance of service,
that every accepted bidder, whatever
may be his residence at the time of
bidding, must agree to live on or con-
tigious to the route and personally
superintend the performance of serv-
ice.
This general letting will occur in
the New England states, New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia and West Vir
ginia.
1t recently has come to the notice
of the department that certain spec
ulative bidders will seek to secure
n number of routes by inducing some
local attorney or other person in
each of the counties to allow the use
of his name as bidder for a consid
