contending that the new transfer rules are
wholly unlawful.
The new yellow cars on the Brightwood
line have been very badly off schedule time
since the day they were introduced Some
times for half an hour or more no cars
would pass, and then FIVE or six would
pass together. At almost no time since
they were Installed have they run ten min
utes apart, as the schedule contemplates.
Many Takoma and Brightwood passen-
gers have been late 10 their offices nearly
every morning. Quite number of Takoma
people have ridden into town in the morn
ings on the Baltimore and Ohio to avoid
this delay.
The cars were in better running order
yesterday. although there were still sew.
eral bitches during the day. 1t was ex-
plained that the motors of these cars are
different from those formerly in use, and
that the motorman have not yet learned
to use them properly.
The following letter, relating to a regu-

To the Editor OF The Times:

paper that he bad heard no complaints from the
conductors and motor1hen, although he had

evidently consulted those who afraid 10
speak for their rights. The division Superin-
teudenis all know that the men object TO being
buttoned up in heavy uniforms with vests in the
crowded cars. Our suffering has been terrible on
recent days. The uniforms heavy any

INSPECTOR HAMLETT RESIGNS.
The Case Acted Upon Yesterday by
the Postmaster General.

The uncertainty in connection with the
case OF Postal Inspector HAMLET was
ended yesterday, when Postmaster Gen
eral Smith announced that Hamletts resig-
nation had Just been accepted, to take
effect at once.
Hamlet, who formerly was chief postal
inspector Of the Department. was reduced
some time ago TO the position of dis
trict inspector. Since then stories have
been in circulation that he was lending his
official railway transportation to friends
Specific charges were laid month ago,
and the case was investigated by Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow He
found that the charges were sustained, and
recommended that the inspector be dis
missed.
The report was submitted TO the Post
master General on the first of the month.
He took no action until yesterday, when
he announced that Hamletts resignation"
had been accepted.
Mr. HAMLET made a strong effort to re-
tain his place, and was backed by ex-
Postmaster General Gary, of Baltimore, by
whom he was appointed chief inspector at
the beginning of the Mckinley Administra-
ton. Representatives Mudd and Pearre, OF
Maryland also worked in his interest, but
without avail.

LOOKING FOR A SETTLEMENT.
The Operators viii Probably Settle
Individually with Employees.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. Boz. Il.
LoOmis of the Iackawanna Coal COM
puny and Edward \. Rose of the Della
ware and Hudson company came to this
city from Scranton and were closeted
for long time with some Of the gem
eral superintendents of the company op-
Grating collicrics in this section. Cen
cral Superintendent w. y. Lathrop of the
I.ehigh Valley company has left town.
At the office of the company it was stat
ed that it was not known where he had
gone, but it is believed he made flying
trip to New York. Mr.. LathlOp is chair
man of the joint committee of operators
OF the Wyoming and Lackawanna re-
gions. and at the present time he is an
important parsonage. The presidents of
the coal roads will no doubt be governed
a great deal by what he says i'll regard
to settlement of the strike. The in
dvidual operators say it is almost ccr-
tain that in the new wage scale the
price of powder will be reduced. bur
whether any other Inducements will he
offered the men is not known. Unless
F.! there are further concessions upon The
part of the operators IT can be put down
H. II certainty thuf the strikers will not
accept settlement based upon the pow
der reduction alone. The feeling Is also
gaining ground that no offer will be mad"
to the mon ns whole, but that each
company will make its own offer M,
however, wild bc Gu about The same lHslS
BY making such M offer the operators
hope To escape The liSHgrraahlc task uf
negotiation with The national executive
board Of the United Mine Workers. II
is reported that the operators haNc com"
to the conclusion that il they must deal
with organized labor they will carry on
their negotiations with local boards, who
are mostly composed of their own men.
Ii is not known whether the national
board. with Mr.. Mitchell III its head,
4 will consent Ia amy such arrangement.
but it is thought by the miners them
selves that II way will be found ont of
the difficulty providing the offer of the
operators is liberal in other ways
/ Mr.. Mitchell has already told one OF
| the leaders of the miners union in l-n-
zernc county that he would allow no tech
nicality to stand in the way of Il settle
mcnt Of the strike; that he was not look
ing for any glory for himself. All he
asked was that the operators do the fair
thing by the strikers. The local councils
of the United Mine Workers are busy
making preparations to receive President
! Mitchell WHEN he visits this city Tues
day. There will be Il street parable in
which all the striking miners from this
city and suburban towns will take part.

AutomobiIes In the Army.

Washington. Sept. 80. Lieutenant Gen.
crnl Miles, commanding the United
States army, in his annual report 10 the
secretary nf war will renew his recon-
mrndntion for the further use of the au-
tomobile in the army. There are now at
Fort Myer, VA. three automobiles, but
they have not been proved quite Satisfac-
tory on account Of lack of facilities for
recharging them with electricity. Mean
while General Miles and other officers in
tcrpstcd ia MAILING the automobile useful
for the army have been making trials of
powers other than electricity with ii view
of making the machine available for mil
itary purposes. General Miles says that
automobiles may hc adapted for use as
couricrs carrying dispatches, movement
of staff officers from one command to an
other for small accommodating parties,
for investigating the topography Of the
country in which the army proposes to
operate, for small detnchments engaged
in constructing bridges or establishing
drpots, for rapidly supplying ammunition
and for the movement and care of the
wounded Ia fart. in eases where small
detnchmcnts operate the general thinks
that automobiles will hc fornd useful.

They finally agreed that Sheriff T0olc
was the proper person Ia decide that

assume the responsibility ana told the
correspondent that the matter was in

said there was no necessity fnr keeping

thai one of his suit took his place. The

much concerned over his disappearance

wrathful.
Moreover. Prince Inkanthor published
In Il Partisan newspaper an article con-

utterly contrary to Camhodian IDEAS and
