The concert given by the Aberdeen
Fire Department Band at the Acme opera

by such house as it deserved, for some
reason or other. The program was ex.

was fine. The vocal solos BY AL. Firth

the small size Of the audience Manager
Black kindly donated the use OF the opera
house. Aberdeen has an excellent band
that should receive encouragement, and
we believe the citizens generally appre-
ciate it, and can only account for the
slim attendance at the concert by attrib-
uting it to a lack of sufficient publicity.

THE CUBAN SCANDAL
PerQuisites Drawn By Postal Officers
in Addition to Salaries Win Be
Subject Of Investigation.

NEW YORK. May 2S.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington. says:
one interesting and important branch
of the Cuban investigation will be that
relating to the perquisites enjoyed by
( the officials and clerks there. by virtue
of their official and clerical status and
also that relating to miscellaneous ex-
penditure.
In the accounts OF Director General
Rathbone. for example, the sum Of
sl7,Ssi,SO is charged TO per diem"
That was the total for the year 1Ss9.
This. it appears. was not expended in
that year for day wages, but 'for al
lowances of perquisites." enjoyed by
himself and members Of his official and
clerical staff. which was a large and
very expensive one. resembling in
those respects that Of a governor OF
an Indian or African province. rather
than that Of a governor of territory
like New Mexico or ocklahoma.
1t is reported that in addition to his
salary OF $500 a year. the director
general received per diem" allow
ance amounting to IS per day or S1.S25
year, and that the head of each Of
the 10 or IL bureaus" which consti-
tuted the department of posts" re-
caived a similar allowance" at the
rate Of 50 a day. The regular yearly
salaries ranged from 5000 to 5000.
There was also a force of inspectors
and clerks who received per diem al
lowances" ranging from $1.25 for
81, 200 clerk to 81 or more for inspectors
and clerks of the higher grades. There
was no exercise of parsimony in that
branch Of the director generals official
establishment.
It is also said that the director-gen-
eral himself enjoyed other large per-
sonal 'perquisites"; that the large
Palace" Occupied by him as a residence
in which he set UP a court rivalling in
magnificence and splendor that Of the
military governor Of Havana was paid
out Of the postal revenues OF Cuba;
that expensive alterations and repairs
OF the Palace" were also paid for out
Of the Cuban revenues.
A member Of the senate committee
has also been informed that among
other large items Of expenditures
charged under the head of "miscellan-
eous" in the director. generals account
in the last year was one amounting to
81 300 for upholstering, dry goods, etc,
purchased at a single establishment in
the United States. This and many
other equally questionable expenditures
were borne by the revenues Of Cuba.
The heading miscellaneous covered
total Of $4O.544sO; the heading build

total of $11,OOs.14.

CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN
Republican Committee Rs-eleots the Old
Officers. {
Representative Babcock Again the
Chafrman-WOrk to Begin
at Once.

The republicans today lined up for the
coming congressional campaign. A spirited
contest Is expected, and the republicans
propose to be early in the field.
The republican congressional campaign
committee met at the Capitol this morn
ing and reelected the officers who so sue
cessfully managed the last campaign for
congress. These were Representative Bah
cock of Wisconsin, chairman; Representa-
tive Sherman of New York, vice chairman;
Representative Overstreet of Indiana, sec
retary, and Mr.. W. B. Thompson of this
city, treasurer.
The following resolution was adopted:
Whereas in past years the committee has
been embarrassed in many sections Of the
country by late conventions, having no
regular organization to deal with in such
cases until it was too late to organize an
effective campaign,
Be it resolved. That in the interest of an
effective and successful campaign the early
nomination of candidates for Congress Is
earnestly recommended.
To Begin Work Mt Once.
The committee will commence at once
the work before it, said Chairman Bab-
COCK to a Star reporter. TT is the purpose
or all the members of the committee to
take an interest in the work during the
coming spring and summer. and the whole
committee will labor in unison"
Permanent headqaarterss have not been
selected. but this will not interfere with
the preliminary work Of the committee.
Today's meeting of the committee was
attended by nearly all the members of the
&C mmittee. Every state which has re-
publican representation In Congress- is rep
resented on the committee and the organ
ization has been completed far In advance
Of the usual time. The next meeting will
be held March 8.
