WILLIS IS REAPPoINTED.
The President Reprimands the Nash
 vile Postmaster. However


 vile Postmaster, However
 Washington, Jan. 27.-The President to- day decided on the reappointment of Postmaster A. W. Wills of Nashville, Tenn,, but wrote the postmaster "a letter cautioning him against any violation of the civil service laws in the office. This action follows a report which the Civil Service Commission has just made to the President of investigation of charges against the postmaster of a political na- ture. The report holds that Postmaster Wills committed technical violations of the civil service laws in giving $150 to another officer for political purposes, and in causing the collection of certain sums from subordinates to reimburse him. The report also holds there was no coercion in the case.
 The report of the Commission says the postmaster and others solicited Assist Republican candidate for Congress. As Brock replied that the necessary ex- penses must be borne by. others. Post master Wills advanced $l50 of his money by Brock. to the treasurer of the cam paign committee. W. J. Buckingham. Assistant Superintendent of Malls; N. S. oCallaghan. clerk; Edwin Fuller. Super Mails. and Gideon W. Gifford, Assistant Superintendent of General Delivery. pro. posed to contribute to reimburse the pOSlIhdbtcT, WNO dosS 6hCu tAlo shares to be paid by each-the O'Cal- laghans $5 each. Fuller and Terry NO each and Clifford $15.
 The postmaster's sfenographer. Miss Voster showed this apportionrent to the respective parties; they paid the money to her and she gave 1t to the treasurer of the campaign committee, who was not an office holder. The treasurer sub seauently return d to Postmaster Wills S100 out of the $50 contributed. Part of the money so returned was collected from outside.
 The Commission says the contributions were actually voluntary and as no solici- tatlon was made elsewhere. no actual coercion of any kind had been used. The Co nmission adds:
 "The postmaster appeared to think he had not violated the law. We told him that there was undoubtedly technical violation. The precedent might be bad one It is for you to say whether under the circumstances the above mentioned acts ought to disqualify MT. Wills for reappoIntment."

SPECIAL NOTICE.

PRESIDENT WILL INSIST.
Congress Must Pass an Isthmian
 Canal Bill.

Washington Special to New York Press
 President Roosevelt insists that Goa, gress must pass an isthmian canal bill at this session of Congress. He will avail himself of every possible means to urge the passage of a Dill before Congress adjourns, and he is making 1t clear that he will not be a party to a plan to which certain Republicans of prominence are lending themselves to defeat the action on any canal bill.
 To put the proposition frankly. Pres ident Roosevelt does not intend that the Republican srty shall become the vic tim of the interests of the transconti- mental railways, which are opposed to any canal He realizes that disappoint- ment of the clearly expressed wish of the American people for the completion of this national project probably would be expressed in the loss of the House in the Congressional elections next No vember. A.
 The President is not committed to either the Panama or the Nicaragua pro- ject, but Is convinced that one of the two routes should be selected and the canal begun without delay.

 "The Great Diamond Robbery"
 The Lehr ard Williams Comedy Com pany began a weeks engagement at Me- Donalds Theatre last night with pre- sentation of '"The Great Diamond Rob- bery." Joe Williams played Julius Hide brandt; Robert Demorest was the Peter Grump, and Miss Fannie Williams made an attractive Polly.
 Considering the inclemency of the weather, a fairly good sized audience was present to witness the opening bill, and it was liberal in its applause .
 The specialties introduced between the acts caught on and were applauded with enthusiasm. The buck and wing danc- ing of MT. Demorest and Miss Fannie Williams was quite the best thing in the show and they were given several cur tain calls.
 The bill for tonight is "Reddy, the Mail Girl" :"

That afternoon he went out once

less we start at once, we shall be too
late to take him before they run him

Good heavens! Are you quite sure
