FOURTHCLASSPOSTNASTERS
The Now Rule to be Gradually
Brought Into Use,
CONGRESSMEN APPROVE IT,

| Washington, Feb, ls,-The formal
announcement by Postmaster General
Payne that hereafter fourth class post
masters are not to be removed from
Office except for inelIiciency or mlScon'
duct, hNs been received with interest
here by postal officials and by poll
ticans The department will no long
err consider the many thousands OF
fourth class postoilces ms political pat
ronagc, TO be taken and given every
four years, with the possible changes
OF administration, or at the time OF
sucecssiye representatives In congress,
The aim Is not 10 enter upon a tre'
mcndous change OF policy abruptly and
without notice, but the general prin'
clple will be kept In mind and adhered
10 rs strictly Ns circumstances will per-
nit, Where chnnges have been con-
templatcd by senators and represent
atlyes or where there are promises out
standing TO make such changes, the de-
partmcnt will give them full and fair
consideration
Nor Is II intended that the depart
ment will run counter 10 senator's and
representatives in carrying this new
policy into execution, The postmaster
general said yesterday that he had not
taken this step without taking counsel
among his friends in public and official
life, and he was satisfied that nine men
In ten who have anything TO do with
postoilices would be very glad TO abdi'
cate control OF such patronage, and
have the department Ill and keep filled
all the fourth class postoilices, When
ever senator or representative here
after shall call at the department to
urge any change in fourth class Office
the proposed policy will be called to
his attention and 1t will be urged on
him TO allow the department plan to
proceed in It's own way.
1t is known that President Roosevelt
when he was a member Of the Civil Ser
vice commission often discussed the idea
of placing the fourth class postoflices
under the civil service rules.
The method now proposed is less
violent and invites the consent and CO.
operation Of senators and representa-
tives.
II there Is justification for making an
exception TO the rule IL will be done,
but the fact that n majority of senator's
and representatives consider the change
as good thing is expected sooner or
later to shame those who stand out
against It into acquiescence,

Tho SchloY Cnse.

Washington, Feb. 1s.-The presi-
dents views regarding the Schley case
have become known, 1t is said that he
will not undertake to discuss any of
the events which occurred prior to the
battle of Santiago, on the ground that
il Schley's conduct was reprehensible
it was condoned by the navy depart
ment and by President Mckinley when
Schleys promotion was recommended.
AS for the battle Of Santiago, the presi-
dent is inclined to the opinion that the
victory was won by all the captains,
aad that credit cannot therefore be
given exclusively to Schley, although
the latter acted courageously and, with
the Oregon, succeeded in preventing the
escape of the Colon.

Washington, Feb, lS,-At q further

tive population on which the voting

in the negative, saying they are 30 used
TO corruption in the administration OF
justice that they could not be trusted,
Governor Taft advocated the estab-
lshment Of stable government for the
present with the understanding that at
some time IN the future the Americans
and Fllipinos could reach an agreement
as 10 what should be done In the way
OF government or In maintaining re-
lNtions; "but," he said, whether the
islands should have their independence,
whether they should be given n quasi
independence or whether they should
be made state Of the union, Is 70 far rs
the future that have reached no con.
clusion. The great evil Of the present
time with reference TO the Philippines is
