BOSTON. June 23.-Phiiadelphia stopped
Boston's progress in loosely played game
today. Nichols and Fraser were the oppos-
ing pitchers, the latter having the best of
it. Nichols gave way to Cuppy in the
eighth, but to no purpose, as the visitors
hit the latter freely in the last two in
nings. The home club got three runs in
the fifth on errors by Delahanty and Cross,
followed By Hamilton's single and Collins
double. The Phillies clinched the game
in the sixth, when they scored five runs
after two men were out on errors and

MAILS FOR THE PHILIPPINES
RESULT OF AN INVESTIGATION OF
THE POSTAL SERVICE.
Special Agent Erwin Praises Highly
the Work of Director Gem
eral VaiIle.

Special Agent ]. w. Erwin of the Post
Office Department. who has just returned
from an Investigation of the postal service
in the Philippines. mas reported to the
Postmaster General that the affairs of the
department of posts there are in a most
satisfactory condition particularly as re-
CARDS it finances.
The report says that Director General
Vaille personally receives all stamped pa
per sent to the department of posts and
counts it in the presence of two witnesses
and in addition to the regular ledger &C
count kept by the cashier, Mr.. Vaille keeps
a private account Of the receipts and is
sues of stamped paper. This IS a perfect
check on the Cashiers account and enables
him at any moment to know for himself
the condition of tho postal accounts. No
one has access to the principal stock of
stamped paper but the director general.
Mr.. Erwin says the system. of accounts
kept by the cashier is entirely satisfactory
the books being well kept and posted daily.
A separate ledger account is kept with
each post Office and station. The director
general exercises careful personal su-
perviSion of the accounts of all the offices
and stations throughout the archipelago
and has inaugurated a system of inspec-
tons to meet all requirements. What i'm
pressed the inspector the most, he says, was
the simplicity of the methods adopted and
the conservative character of the superviS-
ion. 1t has not been deemed necessary to
reorganize numerous bureaus and the work
OF the department has been SO arranged as
to obtain the best results with the least ex-
penditure of money.
The report is lavish In praise Of the di-
rector general
There were 2O5 natives, Fiipinos and
Spanish on the pay roll of the postal and
telegraph service in Manila at the time of
the military occupation. Only about forty
nf x-x1 "a
mum. 100 received less than $50 per annum
OF the 2O5 only 10 have been retained I'M
der the American regime. The entire SER
vice in the archipelago now employs only
IS Americans and So natives, exclusive Of
the soldiers detailed at military stations
where the work is wholly performed by the
military forces. The services Of the ma
tives reported satisfactory.
The inspector reports that the salary al
low are moderate, not greater than
would be paid in the United States, al
though the cost of living Is greater in the
Philippines. He says there is nothing to
attract people, after the novelty has worn
off, and better allowances may have to be
made The postal service in the Philippines
is absolutely dependent for transportation
OF mails on the military service. and the
reports says that while the higher military
authorities favor active cooperation along
this line this is not secured sufficiently to
view of the fact that 80 per cent of the mail
is intended for or originates with the Mill
tary. The report says under present con-
ditions it is not advisable to increase the
number of post offices, there being now
81 most offices and ~ stations.

ANOTHER DIVORCE FRAUD
MRS. KING THE VICTIM OF LAW
YER'S DUPLICITY.
Signed n Paper which He Presented
Under False Representations
AS to 1t.

NEW YORK, November 14.-Another
fraudulent divorce oaso was brought to
light in the supreme court today. Although
a decree In her favor appears upon the rec
ords In the county clerks Office. Mrs. Car
RE D. King asserts that she never insti-
tuted suoh proceedings. and knows sbso-
lutely nothing about the case, except that
some time ago she signed what she be-
loved to be separation papers in the office
Of Attorney Aaison.
Mrs. Kings story Of tho matter Is that
she had trouble with her husband couple
Of years ago and they separated. He
agreed to pay her - . week while they
were living apart. Some time last July,
she says her husband came to her and
asked her to 60 and see a lawyer. he told
her that the attorney would draw UP pa
pers for her to sign, which would protect
her in the matter Of getting alimony.
Mrs. King says that the name of the law
yer was Maison. When she got to Maison S
office he told her that he had evidence
against her husband on which she could get
decree of absolute divorce He said that
he had seen King at q hotel with another
woman.
Mrs. King asserts that she told Maison
that she did not want a divorce from her
husband. Before she left the office Mai
son. she said, induced her to sign paper,
which she believed to be a separation
agreement between herself and her hus-
alimony.
The papers in the case show that few
days after Mrs. Kings visit to MaiSon' s
Office the application for the appointment
of a referee to hear the testimony was
made to Justice Dugro. In the papers Hen
~ Zeimer appears as counsel for the plain
tiff
careful investigation of the papers
shows that the paper which Mrs. King
signed was an affidavit in which she was
made to apply for divorce.

INAUGURATION CEREMONIES.
Chairman Hanna's Action Being
Awaited With Eager Interest.

President McKinley's first Inauguration
was notable among such events for the
perfection Of the arrangements leading up
to it, and the splendor of the ceremonies
surrounding it. His second Inauguration
will doubtless exceed even that memorable
event, because the four years that have
elapsed since then have been crowded
with lustrous and glorious achievements in
every part of the national life, and the
commencement of another term for the man
who led the country through such triumphs
will be made the occasion probably OF COM
memorative features well as a bon voy-
age to the ship of state, which will begin
another trip under the guidance. of the
same skillful helmsman. The movement
toward accomplishing this intention,
which is national as well as local. will be
given its first impetus by Senator Hanna,
and consequently his always interesting per-
sonality is particularly 50 to Washington
ians at this time. AS chairman of the ma
tional republican committee Senator Hanna
selects the gentleman who, as chairman Of
the executive committee having the inaugu-
ration ceremonies in charge, becomes re-
sponsible for the successful accomplishment
of these most important objects. Thus far
no intimation has been given by Senator
Hanna as to his intentions in this regard.
but it is expected that he will shortly take
the matter up and settle 1t with his char
acteristic promptness.
Four years ago Senator Hanna did not
take up the subject until late in November.
In 1892 as in 1884, upon the occasion of
Mr. Clevelands Inauguration, Mr.. James
G. Berret was chairman. In 1883 Senator
Quay, then chairman of the national COM
mttee, took up the matter Immediately fol-
lowing President Harrison's election, and
November wrote to the late A. T. Britton,
pla cling him 'in charge of the Inauguration
and everything pertaining thereto" Col.
Britton received this letter November II
and Immediately began selecting his asso-

THE PORTO RICAN TARIFF.
Argument in the Case Postponed Until
December IL.

In the United States Supreme Court to-
day Attorney General Grtggs moved TO post
pune. until January, the arguments in the
cases involving the validity of the customs
GUties levied against Porto Rico and the
Philippines. He stated to the court that
other cases, involving points which would
have to be considered in the general Ques-
ton We're now on trial IN the lower courts
and would be- up soon, and 1t would prob
ably be more convenient to consider them
ell at the same time.
The court decided to postpone the ar
EumeSIts until December IL. EX-Secretary
Carlisle will appear as counsel in one of the
cases.
Chief Justice Fuller today announced the
refusal of the Supreme Court to review
the proceedings of the provisional court
est a blished by Governor General Davis In
Porto Rico in tho case of Josa Juan Vidal
and others by which they were ousted from
the municipal offices of the town of Quay
ma. in that island.
The refusal was based upon the ground
that the court is not empowered TO review
the proceedings of a military tribunal by
srtioTari.
Announcement was made In the Supreme
Court that that tribunal would take a re-
cess of a fortnight from next Monday.

PETITIONS FOR RELEASE.
John names Application for Dis
charge From AsSIum.

Hearing was had today before Justice
Cole. presiding in the Probate Court. in
connection with the petition of John Kane,
By which the petitioner seeks 10 be dis
charged from the Government Hospital for
the Insane.
Ii is alleged that in the year 1895 Kane
was officially declared to be of unsound
mind. At the time he was the owner of
property the valuation of which was be-
tween - $50 and So, 900. In due season the
court appointed Mr.. Edward ]. StelIwagen
to serve committee of the person and
estate Of Nr. Kane.
The condition OF the latter having i'm
proved to a marked degree. the hospital au-
thorities last spring permitted him to visit
the city, and finally to take up his resi-
dence here. During the early summer Mr.
Kane engaged IN a marriage ceremony with
Mary Sheridan. In view Of this action Mr.
StellwaSen, as committee. instituted a pro-
ceeding in equity. asking that the marriage
contract be declared null and void on the
ground that Mr.. Kane was not mentally
capable OF entering into such a contract.
Al the same time the hospital authorities
cut short the liberty that had been allow ed
Mr- Kane and he was required to go back
to the asylum.
As state the hearing today was the re-
suit of the filing of petition by Mr. Kane
In which he declared that his mental con-
dition is such that he is entitled to his
discharge from the asylum. The matter
was still before the court when this report
closed.

Your very interesting article, entitled "A

name of one whom all of his classmates
consider deserves to be mentioned in that

He graduated near the head of his class,
and taught for a while in our schools while
taking a course in the Georgetown Medical
School. from which institution he again
graduated number one or two.
After taking a special course in medicine
in New York city. he entered a competitive
examination for the Medical Corps, U. S.

NEW YORK. November 12-Under the
impulse of mail orders and the widespread
confidence in the future of American Sc
curities, today's stock market was again
buoyant in all departments Some good
selling was in evidence early In the dav
and for a time commission houses were dis
posed to urge caution in new ventures
The public demand soon demonstrated that
it was superior to the supply of stocks in
professional hands, and the whole market
turred again toward the higher level.
Brokers out of stocks in MANY in
stances and awaiting a reaction but sur
face indications show no hope of an early
realization of slch prospect. The only GER
tain thing in connection with the present
market is that the greater the haste the
more certain Is the setback The market.
however, Is a novelty, and the opinions Of
outside interests quite as apt to prove
correct as are those of the experienced In
side operators. The market has simply
broken away from tradition and is likely to
continue to override all precedent until the
banks restrict their loans.
The public has the speculation fever and
small margins and overloaded accounts are
again in evidence. Conditions warrant en-
thusiasm. but there never was nor Is there
now warrant for purchasing POO shares Of
STOCK on the margin usually demanded for
100
A new high level has been made for
many issues. and future reactions will
scarcely extend to previous low points All
securities have increased in value, and the
only point to determine is as to what ex-
tent prices have already absorbed this i'm
provement. Rumors of all sorts were In
circulation during the morning but little
heed was paid to any not wholly In accord
with the advance
Pennsylvania railroad and all its allied
properties were strong at advancing prices
under an excellent demand. The steel stocks
were well taken and strong demand IL
reported for all the preferred shares in this
group. The Industrial list as a whole has
come into favor, but there are evidences of
unloading in certain shares which again
en- phasize the warning that discrimination
is especially desirable in times of general
speculative movement
Pacific Mail was cratic during the morn
ing. breaking suddenly and then recovering
under mixed demand. Sugar was bought
on the belief that an important movement
against the short interest about to be
undertaken. Traders bought at top prices
and insiders seemed to be taking profits for
time, but not In significant amounts.
Standard Oil crossed 500 per share, there
by making new record.
Call money hardened slightly getting I'D
to Az and per cent Fluctuations in the
money rate will determine the future
course of prices to considerable degree.
