AN INVESTIGATION
 0F lOUD'S DEFEAT
It May End in Discharge of Presidel t
 of Letter Carriers Association.

Washington, November 24.-The civil vestigation into the relations of J. =. Keller, president of the National As sociatiOn of Letter Carriers. to the de- feat for re- election of E. F. Loud to congress from California. MT. Loud is chairman of the house committee on postoffice and post roads. The charge has been made that Loud was defeated through the efforts of the letter car riers, assisted by the rural free delivery service employees. and that the efforts of the carriers toward tho defeat of Loud was made because the California representative was opposed to an in- crease of the pay for letter carriers and men engaged in the rural free delivery service.
 The civil service commissioners have asked the postoffice department to fur nish to the commission a copy of all correspondence that passed between the department and Keller in relation to the campaign of Loud for reelection tG ! congress. Just who made the com plaint against the president of the Let ter Carriers association for violating the rules against taking part in politi- oal campaigns is not known. MT. Loud did rot do so, it is said.
 It is understood that some officials ! Of the Letter Carriers association arr afraid that Keller will be discharged | from the service of the government or account of the Loud case. and some oi
 them have approached the postUaic' | department to learn whether if MT l Keller were to be depOsed as presiden
 of the association his successor in offic,
 would be permitted to make a campaign during the coming session of congress!
 for increase of the pay for carriers These inquirers have been informed
 that the letter carriers will not be per
 nitted to approach congress with a re quest for increased pay except in tn
 regular way through the postmaste ] general.

the state would intervene. The mayor
 then ordered drastic measures and is
 sued an edict prohibiting crowds rom
 gathering in the streets and authoriz-
 ing the chief of police to kill ii such
 action should be necessary to preserve
 order.
 4 similar show of force early il the
 morning undoubtedly would have pre-
 vented the trouble but now the strikers
 had become emboldened and frequent
 clashes between them and the police
 occurred in all parts of the city. The
 police were obliged to charge mob of
 rioters at a slaughter house, and sever
 al among the latter were injured. The vigorous attitude of the police now
 made itself felt and traffic on the car lines. which had been suspended for only a brief period, was resumed and was continued from this time forth with only occasional interruptions. Most O. the bruises sustained by the strikers were caused by policemc1's clubs.
 The central veterans union headed by General Gomez held a meeting this afternoon and sent word to the labor unions that ii disorders continued the veterans would offer their services to 
 President Palma to preserve order. No bread or meat was on sale toda; and a cor tinuance of the strike will cause InUch suffering to the OCor.
 The police fear that trouble may occur in thc city tonight, and a de- tachment of rural guards is expected to reach Havana at 2:20 tomorrow morning
 Senor Tamayo has resigned his office | of secretary of the government. but ! President Palma will not accept his i resignation until the strike has been settled. The public b!smes TamayO ! for his active participation in the strike i and says that he and the mayor are ! responsible for today's riots as he had | openly expressed sympathy with the | strikers.
 At a political meeting on Wednesday,
 at which Tamayo was chairman, he 1 endorsed the action of the strikers.

THE NERO SOUNDINGS
 ARRANGEMENTS MADE
For Their Turning Over to the Pacific
 Cable Company.

Washington, November 24.-Arrange- ments by which the deep sea soundings and surveys made by the Nero under the direction of the navy department are to be turned over to the Commer- cial Cable company for use in laying the Pacific cable beyond the Hawaiian islands were completed today. The rep rescntatives of the cable company eX- amined the charts at the department and expressed themselves as highly gratified with the thorOughness of the work. Duplicate sets of the charts have been presented to the attorney general to be signed. This will be in a few days.
 The only terms of the provision laid down by the government to which the company took exception was that pro- viding for American operatives. This was modified at the request of the com pany to provide for American opera tives when Cbt1inable. The 'harts WiIll carry the cable beyond the Hawaiian Islands to the Midway islands and thence to Guam. From Guam two links will be extended, one to Manila and the other to Yokohama.

A TUG OF WAR. Coffee Puts Up a Grand Fight.

Among the best judges of good things in the food line, is the groceryman or his wife. They know many of their customers purchase certain foods.
 The wife of a groceryman in Car thage. New York, says: 'I have all ways been a lover of coffee. and there fore drank a great deal of it. About year and a half ago I became con vinced that it was the cause of my headaches and torpid liver. and re- solved to give it up. although the reso- lution caused me no small struggle, but Postum came to the rescue. From that time on, coffee has never found a place on our table, except for company, and then we always feel a dull headache throughout the day for having in- dulged.
