washington. Feb 20-The Presidents
decision in the Schiey case was a sub
ject OF discussion among members Of
Congress today. Among Admiral Schleys
friends there was but q single tone to
the colye7sati0n-tha was cOndemuatory
of the decision.
The Democrats Of the House and Senate
who support the cause of Admiral Sehley
appear to be awaiting some decision by
the SehIey men of the Republican ma
jority before attempting TO secure ac-
ton. The Maryland delegation in Con
z-ess is the especial object of solicitude
in the matter, and all the remaining
Schley followers are apparently watch
ing for a move by some man from that
State before the subject is taken up for
action.
Plans Of Delegation.
What the Maryland delegation proposes
TO do is not known An informal con-
ference was held by the Representatives
OF the State in the House today and Il
was decided that IL would be better TO

BOGUS POSTAL CARDS
THEY HAVE BEEN MAILED FROM
MANY SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY.
Counterfeits Are Poor, but They Are
Worrying the POstOffice Authori-
ties-The Difference.

NEW YORK. April 22.-The postal au-
thorities are exercised over the discovery of
counterfeit postal cards in the mails from
nearly every part of the United States.
Postmaster Vancott said tonight: I'VE
have received only few of the cards at
the New York postoffice. What bothers us
is the fact that those received have come
from so many different sections. Several
inspectors are working the case. The
cards are poor counterfeit"
The description of the counterfeit cards
given by the postal authorities follows:
Top of name line runs together: genuine is
spaced. Lines of Jeffersons face are coarse
and broken; wreath not uniform. Word
Jefferson is light face; genuine is bold
face type. 1t is coated paper not used
for cards. The whole appears TO be
copy from an old worn-out plate"

Decision Is Reached at n Caucus of
Delegates and Republican
Workers.
WILL FIGHT MERRILL MOORES
If MARION COUNTY INSISTS WAR
WILL BE DECLARED.
Claim Made that According to Pre-
cedent 1t Is HancOclS's Turn to
Name the Candidate.

Hancock county has announced its can
ddate for joint representative from the
district composed of Marion and Hancock
counties. The name of William Ii. H. Rock,
a prominent merchant Of Greenfield. was
sprung yesterday afternoon at caucus of
Hancock county delegates and Republican
workers held in the Denson Hotel The
eleven delegates pledged themselves to sup
port Rock in the convention and to make
every effort To get the joint representative
from their county
The caucus was lively. The tenor of all
the speeches was that at the next session
of the Legislature Hancock county should
be represented by the joint representative
instead of Marion. The decision OF the
caucus was that if Marion county dele
gates refuse to support Rock the Hancock
county men shall refuse TO vote TO nomi-
nate Merrill Moores for attorney general.
More than that. the delegates were in
formed that they should use effort to bring
about Mooress defeat unless Marion coun-
~ consented 10 let the joint representative
so to Hancock
All of the speakers insisted that the prec-
edent of alienation has been established
in selecting the joint representative from
this district They pointed 10 the fact
that FRANK Llttleton- or Marion county,
selected in 1896; Morgan Carraway
OF Hancock, in lSjS, Larz Whitcomb. of
Marion. in 1900. and that 10 conform with
the alternating principle Rock should be
nominated this year Merrill Moores was
picked out as the target OF opposition I'm
case their wishes re rot met because of
the fact that they hold him TO De the only
candidate for state ONCE that Marion
county presents.
Those present at the caucus were George

Donald. Capt. w. o. Bragg, Ephraim
Marsh Elmer L. Stoner, Elmer j. Binford
and others.

last man built fire in a marsh adjoin-
ing Wolf Lake, village seven miles south
west of here. On Friday some of the citi-
zens became alarmed over the burning
marsh and put the fire out as they had
supposed. Some of the fire. however, was
left, and the wind to-day famed it until a
flame was produced and * began to spread.
In spite of all the efforts it caught in
town and burned out a large section of it
entirely. The fine brick Methodist Church,
twelve dwellings, with an equal number of
barns and all the outhouses surrounding
them, were entirely consumed. Twelve
families are homeless. with no clothing ex-
cept what they have their backs and no
household articles, for all were burned.
The loss at a low estimate is $25 900, with
only a small insurance.
