Government Declares Carter Is Ncn-
tally and Physically ) .Ind and
That He Is Not, Us Alleged, on
Verge of Collapse.
WASHINGTON, April l6. Solicitor Gem

tiary at Fort Leavcnworth, Kan, upon
conviction of fraud i'll connection with
harbor improvements, etc, at Savan'
nah, Ga After reviewing the history
of the case, the solicitor general says,
in part:
1.-The validity of Carter's conviction
aud sentence by the COurtmartial, which
alone could try him for crimes commit.
ted as an officer of the United States
army, in violation of the articles of war,
has been sustained by three civil courts
and five judges, not counting this court,
before which the matter is now pend
ing for the third time. Garter now ap.
DllcS lOT the suspension "a tue JuSt Scu-
tence of this lawful tribunal and asks
to be released from imprisonment pend
ing the hearing of this second appeal,
upon the following grounds:
"FirSt, because lie Is suffering from
neurasthemia and is on the verge of
vervous collapse by reason Of mental
anguish, owing to his imprisonment.
"Second, because he is Innocent OF
the charges Oh which lie was convicted
by tho courtmartial, and the only way
he can establish his innocence, so he
says, is by pressing to trial the charges
embraced i'll the Georgia indictment,
which he asserts cannot be tried because
of his absence from Georgia.
General Denial.
AS to the first ground, the solicitor
general submits all argument tending
to show Carriers sound mental condi
ton, and files with the court the nffida
Wits OF five physicians who examine ed
Carter and affirm in declaring that Car
ter is not suffering from neurasthemia
that he is not OH the verge of nervou

from the warden and physician OF the

Rural Free DeiVery.

In the postmaster generals annual
report, which has been recently issued,
the portion dealing with rural free de-
livery exemplifes that enthusiasm
which seems to belong to a new and
expanding public movement carrying
with it great public benefits. On July
/, 1899, there were 391 rural free de-
livery routes in operation, and on Nov.
1, 1900, the number was 2,551. These
last were distributed through forty
four states and territories-the number
In Illinois being 243-and served 1,SV,-
ga people. There were also awaiting
action at that time 2,15S petitions for
the establishment of new routes, and it
Is estimated that by the end of June
next the service will have been ex-
tended so as to reach $500, 900 persons.
A route averages about 25 miles in
distance and is supposed to serve about
100 families. Carriers receive $500 per
year, furnish their own conveyances,
may be of either sex, and must make
their deliveries and collections every
day Of the year except Sundays. The
report, however, favors a holiday Of Is
days each year without loss Of pay.
Rural free delivery has existed in
France for 80 years and In England for
nearly half a century. 1t also prevails
In Germany, Belgium, and other Euro
pean countries.
