HAVANA, June 4.-Acting Director of
Posts Bristow today inquired as to the
amount of postal funds taken by C. F.
w. Nicely in 1899, and ascertained that 1t
was $3,212.50. NeeIy's monthly average
was about $4,000. His system of book
keeping was simplicity itself. Apparently
he merely divided the amounts received,
taking one-half for himself and account
ing for the other
This morning the examination of Maj.
Rathbone, former director of posts, was
continued. 1t lasted more than four
hours. The most startling fact developed
Rathbone ordered Special Agents Death-
erer and Sullivan to examine the ac-
counts. They found a shortage, but it
was not thought that anything had gone
wrong. They reported, however, that
there was no check upon the business of
the office, and they recommended that
certain blank forms be made, which
would answer the purpose, such as post
masters in the United States use when
they make their reports.
Deputy Maynard, then chief agent. in
warded it to Mr. Rathbone The latter
approved it, and sent 1t to Auditor
Reeves. who initiated and forwarded 1t
to Nicely. After he had initiated 1t, in
stead Of putting the scheme into opera
tion he quietly pigeon-holed it, and 1t did
not see the light until May 10 of this
year, when the plan was put into effect.
Mr. BristoW says he is almost sure that
the extent of the steal will amount to
something between $S0,000 and 100000, but
that this will not touch the item of
surcharge stamps, which is S41 ,000. AS to
how many of these were burned and how
many sold it is impossible to obtain
definite information. As many have been
traced, it is known positively that all
were not destroyed, but If Nicely SOLD
$4,000 or 100000 worth, it would not be
surprising, Mr.. Brstow thinks, to find
them scattered all over the world.
The postal inspectors say it IS aston
ishing that a system so rotten could have
been concealed beyond the first month.
Every day only adds to the surprises.
Lieut.. Col. Burton, Mr.. Jones, the spe-
cial prosecutor, ard Mr.. Stevens will

Hopes are expressed by some of the
local papers that as Gov. Roosevelt has
signed the eXtradition papers, no further
time will be wasted in bringing Neely to
trial. Those journals point out that
'Neelys conduct has disgraced Ameri-
cans in the eyes of Cubans,'' and they
declare the best way for Americans to
redeem themselves is to bring him TO
prompt trial

NOT EAGAN NOR SHEPARD
CERTAIN THAT NEITHER OF THEM
SHOT THE WISE
~ FAMILY
SHERIFF MERRILL SATISFIED
Attention of the officer Now Turned
In Another Direction-COnditfOn
of the Wounded Members of
the Family.

ANOkA, Mimi, June 4.-Sheriff Merrill
reached home early this morning from
Little Falls, where he went tC look UP
the whereabouts Of Alex Eagan and
Frank Shepard. He found them in a
logging camp where they have been at
work for some time. The alibi they were
able to show seemed unimpeachable, as
they not only had the testimony OF many
companions and woodsmen to back them,
but their time checks also indicated thai
they We're in camp and worked a week
ago Sunday and all the other days they
would have been absent had they con-
mitted the crime. The sheriff has re-
turned to work on local clues. These are
not believed to be very promising, but
as the sheriff is keeping his own counsel
pretty closely it is not definitely known
whom he has under surveillance OF in
what quarter he will next appear.
The insinuation that Sheriff Merrill is
holding back facts which might clear Up
the mystery, in the hope that a reward
viii be offered and eventually find its
way into his pockets, has been made by
some of the papers in the Twin Cities.
The facts all point in a contrary con-
clusion. Not only has the sheriff given
ali his time and energies to the case, but
he has spent his own money freely and
has offered ex-Sheriff Ege and several
if they will locate the guilty persons.
The sheriff has a hard task before him
and is not Sinking it. Probably his
secretiveness was not relished by some
Of the morning paper correspondents, and
they are simply trying to play even.
The theft of John Giddings rifle has
been investigated by Sheriff Merrill and
is believed to have no bearing at all on
the murders. The gun was stolen Just
as Mr. Glddings said it was, and the
sheriff has two boys-mere children
under suspicion and will doubtless cali
upon them to explain. 1t Is not thought
for a moment that these boys had any
thing to dc with the assassination.
A large crowd visited the Wise house
yesterday and talked over the crime and
secured the locality for fresh evidence.
No headway was made, so Ear as can
be learned Mrs Crocker, who lives
above Brainerd and is a half sister of
Wise, is at the house, as is Mrs. BalcoIn,
sister of Mrs. Wise. Mrs. Crocker says
the Wises were married in New Bruins
wick and lived there until they went to
MINNEAPOLIS From Minneapolis they
came tc Ancka. The Wise children were
born in lawful wedlock she says, and the
stories floating around to the contrary
she brands as false.
Joseph Wise, the boy, suffers great
deal of pain, but his condition Is much
the same as it has been for several days.
The father was visited again this fore
noon by DIR. Rees and was found to be
almost the same as yesterday and the
cav before He can move his hands only
when the battery is applied. The boy is
thought to have fair chance to recover.

1t is understood that Prof. Sanford will
not be dropped. but will be asked to take

LONDON, June 4.-Sir Walter Besant,
the chief promoter of the recently formed
fraternal association called IAN Atlantic
Union," the object of which is to bring
visitors from America into closer rela-
tions with Englishmen, said today:
distinguished Americans bring letters
of Introduction which open every door,
but all visitors are not provided with
these letters. They stay at their hotels,
go to our places of public amusement,
drive throughout London, but the door Of
English social life is closed to them I

and live under similar laws and institu-
tions.
These people are, it is true of mixed
descent. Some are descended from the
Celt, others from the German, Scandi-
navian, French, Finn or Spanish extrac-
ton. The American is an amalgam of
the Saxon, Celt, Fleming. German and
French races"
The union of which Sir Walter Besant
is treasurer expects to help visitors from

dent that many of the grocers present
and nearly as many of them stuck out
for the nineteen-pound rate and voted
against it.
Before the close of the meeting the as
sociation decided to call a meeting Of
the directors and have them establish
a rate, which will probably be fifteen

The Retail Grocers' association held a
