1t was plain that the township accounts had not
been kept according to law.
At the conclusion of the days testimony the
books of the township were put in the custody of
some of the township officials. Before the COM
missioners held another meeting the books had dis

been printed in the township papers The COM
missioners heard a vast amount of testimony. oc-

affairs had been carried on in careless manner:
without much reference to the laws governing
township matters. and that the township had lost
considerable money through the failure 10 conduct

ERATE VETERANS REUNION.

Washington. April 3-An order issued from the
Navy Department to-day assigns the Scorpion in
stead of the Bancroft to the duty of representing
the navy at the Confederate Veterans reunion at
Memphis Tenn, on May 26 The Bancroft is going
Hampton Roads from Key West to be put out

a training ship and not large enough for cruiser,
and she will be laid up indefinitely.
The withdrawal of the Scorpion from Venezuelan
waters will leave the United States without war
ship in that part of South America. When the
Scorpion takes Minister Loomis TO San Juan she
is not likely return to Venezuela, but probably
will come directly northward. The North At
lantic Squadron. now in Porto Rican waters, is
next due at Kingston, Jamaica, which is not much
further than San Juan from La Guayra. SO that II

POSTAL ARRANGEMENT WITH CANADA.
A RADICAL REDUCTION MADE IN MONEY ORDER
RATES.

Washington. April 3.-An arrangement has Just
been concluded by the United States and Canada
under which all postal moneys sent between the
countries will go the domestic rate of three
tenths of / per cent instead of the nternatonal
rate OF ! per cent, at present. This concession
is regarded more important to the money order
business than any other action taken since the
inception of the system Negotiations had been
in progress for time between the respective
postal administrations looking 10 the further until
cation of the postal systems of the United States
and Canada with respect to the money order busi-
The money orders annually sent to Canada
aggregate about s2.OoOOoO. and in the other
direction little less than that amount. The eX-
change of these orders is restricted to four
thousand offices in this country. bur under the
arrangement will be extended to thirty thousand
offices in this country. any money order office in
either country being thus authorized TO issue or
pay them
1t is expected that the radical reduction in the
rate will treble the business. The reduction is
pecially important to business interests along the
border.
