MR.. BRISTOW'S REPORT
RECOMMENDATIONS OF FOURTH AS
sIsTANT POSTMASTER GENERAL.
He Thinks Congress Should Prohibit
Common Carriers from Abettfng
Lottery Companies.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General John l.. Bristow,
in his annual report, recommends an
amendment to the interstate-commerce law
prohibiting telegraph and express COM
panies or their employees from aiding or
abetting in the green-goods or lottery swim
dies or any other scheme carried on partly
by mail and partly by common carrier and
in violation of the postal laws. Other legis-
lation urged is as follows:
Authorizing postoffice inspectors to take
out search warrants whenever necessary.
Payment of incidental expenses incurred
by local officers or others in the arrest
detention and keeping of prisoners violat-
ing postal laws until transferred to the
United States marshars custody.
Construction of inspectors lookout tow
ers in postofiices, whenever deemed neces-
sary by the postmaster general and pro-
hlbition Of loose pouching of circulars, cal
endars. etc., owing to small pieces of mail
matter frequently slipping into large I'M
sealed envelopes in transit.
There were 1912 appointments of post
masters made during the past fiscal year,
H. 435 being of the fourth class and 707 be-
ing presidential, an increase of 53S in all
over last year. There also has been an in
crease in the number of designations, es-
pecially of the fourth-class postmasters
Fewer removals for irregularities were
made than last year. There were $500 post
offices established during the year, an in
crease of 665 over last year, and 1872 were
discontinued, an increase of 407 discontinue
ances over last year, mostly due to rural
free delivery extension and public high
way improvements
A vigorous effort has been made to sup

country for the sole benefit of some corpora
ton, nursery company, patent medicine
firm or other private institutions whose
operations deprive the government of its
legitimate revenues. The company or cor
poration usually has some one connected
with il appointed postmaster and thus gets
the advantage of the cancellations or the
salary and allowances of the postmaster.
These institutions, sometimes have derived
thousands of dollars of revenue from the
government which virtually amounted to a
commission or discount on their postal
business.
There were forty-seven designations and
forty-five deaths of presidential postmas-
tiers and 919 deaths and sob designations
of fourth class postmasters.
On June 30 last the number of postof-
fees was 76,6SS, as follows: first class 1874:
second class, So; third, 3,lS7; fourth H.
455.
The total number of arrests during the
fiscal year for offenses against the postal
laws was 1.526, including nineteen postmas-
tiers, twenty-nine assistants and IA postof-
flee clerks, carriers and ether postal en-
ployes. OF the total number arrested 526
were convicted

PERU, Ind. Nov. %. The de-
composed bodies of Jerry and Patrick
Holland, brothers, aged sixty-two and
ffty-six years, respectively, were found in
their house to-day. No marks of violence
were evident, and as the men. when last
seen, eight or ten days ago, were drinking,
it is believed they were drugged, the poison
taking effect soon after they reached their
home. The brothers were noted for their
affection for each other, and their appear
ance and actions were so nearly alike that
they were generally known as 1.-The two
Dromics." They were light-hearted and
cheerful in disposition, and the theory of
suicide is not entertained. Jerry possessed
considerable property, while Patrick was
comparatively poor. An investigation will
be made by the coroner tomorrow, and Is
expected to shed some light upon the mys
terry.

ARMY ENLIsTMENTs.
Many Men Offering Their Services
Fully $4,000 to BE Enlisted.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-In view of the
probable call upon the War Department to
make a sudden increase In the enlisted
strength of the army, after the present
regular force has been discharged, it is
a matter of considerable interest to see
what may be done by the various recruit
ing offices toward building up the new
regiments, when the number and strength
OF these is determined by the passage of
the army reorganization bill. 1t is said
at the War Department that for several
months past the chief trouble has been to
keep from over-recruiting the regular regi-
ments now in service. In spite of the
fact that active hardly can be said to
exist even in the Philippines, there has
been strong pressure for enlistment and
the recruiting officers IL is said, have
been able to pick and choose men of a
very high standard of excellence ow-
ing TO the large number of applicants. The
department counts with considerable con-
number OF men whose term of service will
expire on June 30, 1901 At the same time
II the army reorganization bill provides
for permanent force of 60O00 or
more, and IL is not thought likely that IL
viii fall below this figure, there will be
8 900 men 10 enlist between the date of
the passage of the bill and the discharge
of the present regulars on the 30th of June
The chief recruiting officer of the depart
nient Major Johnson, says that IL is i'm
possible 20 make any predictions as to the
speed with which the recruiting can be
carried on, but that il will depend largely
the number of officers that the depart
ment can detail for recruiting duty. When
the Spanish-American war was officially
declared 10 be ended, and the discharge
of the volunteers rendered the recruiting
OF fresh regiments imperative. there were
$500 new men added TO the regular estab-
lishment in the space OF about six weeks
I'm spite of the fact that volunteer officers
at that time were recruiting all over the
country TO fill up the volunteer regiments
The first regiments enlisted for the regu-
lar service were recruited, equipped and
drilled and ready for transportation or
ar average of forty-four days each. more
than ten days quicker than the average
fer the regiments enlisted at the begin
ming of the Spanish war.
