The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1902-08-18

An article is published in another
column regarding the re-rsting of Lex
ington, KY, and the effect it has had
on insurance policies. Every policy
holder in Paducah is more or less in
terested in insurance rates, and should
fully realize the Importance Of being
prepared for this r~e-rating. A few
dollars worth of cleaning up now may
save fifty dollars a year in insurance
premiums and render a building less
likely to burn. Paducah is just now
i'll prepared for a re- rating, but it is
hoped that when the insurance men
arrive, we shall have received the new
hose purchased, present a good array
of buildings and be able to demand =
satisfactory rats When the work is
completed. There is no time for delay,
as the ~re-raters are liable to arrive and
begin work any day.

New York Central roalroad station in was brought to New York city, ar raigned before United States Commis- sioner Shields on a charge of embez- zling $36, 900 of postoffice funds and re leased on bail.
 On May g, 1900, Neely was rearrest- ed in Park row, New York, on a civil suit instituted by the United States government to recover 45,3T5.S5, the amount of his shortage. This time he was locked up in Ludlow street jail in New York.
 Governor Roosevelt decided in June, 1900, that Nicely was not entitled to q trial by jury in the United States and signed the eXtradition papers request ed by Governor General Wood of Cuba. Then began the fight of Neely's law yers to save him from extradition. Con- gress meanwhile had passed bill per mitting his extradition, but Nicely con tinued to be held here because of the indefinite relation which Cuba held to this country.
 It was not until Jan. 14, 1901, that tue OHlleu SldteS COuIl ed that Cuba was foreign country held in trust by the United States and that therefore Nicely could be extra dited.
 It became known that Major Estes c. Rathbone, director general of posts in Cuba, was implicated in the Nicely frauds soon after the latter's arrest, and he was suspended by the order of President Mckinley on May 4, 1900.
 W. H. Reeves was the deputy auditor of the Cuban postal department. He confessed to his share in the thieving operations and implicated the others. He audited the accounts when he knew they were fraudulent. Such extensive and prolonged irregularities would have been impossible without his as- sistance.
 Soon after General Leonard Wood was made military governor of Cuba he became convinced that something was wrong with the postoffics depart ment. and he did not relinquish his en- deavors to have a thorough investiga- ton until the disclosures were made public and the offenders taken into GUS tody.
 Neely, Rathbone and Reeves were placed on trial in the criminal court of Havana on Jan. 4 of this year.

An Experiment That Failed.

Tn order to encourage marriage in servia all young persons with at least 2.OOO dinars in the government savings banks were until recently presented upon their wedding day with a hand some premium from the bank directors. The consequence was that all these young people upon reaching the age of eighteen hastened to marry. The di- vorce frequently followed as soon as the money was run through. AS there is thus no chance of the expected h. crease in the population, the generous premium has been withdrawn.

Temporary Cessation of HostiIities
 In Africa.
 London, March 26.-The Daily Chron- fcle asserts that an armistice has been arranged during Schalkburger's mis- sion to General De Wet and that of fensive operations against De Wet, Delarey and Botha will be suspended, these three generals having agreed honorably to observe the armistice and to refrain from operations until the return of the envoys to the Boer lines.
 It is believed, continued The Daily Chronicle, that the envoys after ac- quainting General Botha with the re- suit of their mission will again confer with Lord Kitchener, although no sec ond conference with Lord Kitchener has actually been arranged.
 In the house of commons on Monday the secretary of state for war. the Right Hon. W. St. John Brodrick, an- nounced that a fortnight ago MT. Schalkburger intimated to Lord Kitch- ener his desire to obtain safe con- duct through the British lines and back in order to see MT. Steyn with refer ence to the possibility of peace pro- posals. Lord Kitchener, with the con- sent of the government, acceded to the request. This announcement by MT. Brodrfck was received with cheers.
 Some significance is attached to the fact than in approaching Lord Kitchen CT Mir. Schalkburger and those asso- ciated with him carried out to the let ter the advice given by the British foreign secretary, Lord Lansdowne, in his reply to the peace note of the Meth erlands government-that the quickest and most satisfactory means for ar ranging a settlement would be by di- rect communication between the lead CTS of the Boers and the British com mander in chief in South Africa.

 ''The Civic federation" continued the senator, ''has been very fortunate | aff hoS fn | settle labor troubles. Its success in
 bringing employers and employees to- | gether when industrial conflicts are | impending has exceeded my most l sanguine expectations. The main thing is to inspire feeling of confidence on both sides, and the rest is easy. "As for the trouble between the miners and operators 1 can say noth- | ing yet, as I am not posted as to the situation. I can only hope that good relations will be established. I feel ! confident that they will be established. l Anyhow, we are going to do our very best to bring about such condition" 1 John Mitchell, president of the Unit l ed Mine Workers, and District Presi- l dents John J.

 "It looks to me as if there will be a strike in the three anthracite coal dis l tricts, which will involve 144,OOO men,
 The question in dispute is one of | wages and the signing of contracts. 1 The signing of contracts will, of course, mean the recognition of the unions" l Do you believe that the question will be settled without resorting to a striker was asked.
