President Issues Orders That No
More Disclosures be Made
WORK OF THE POLITICIANS
Decree Has Gone Forth That There
Shall BE Mo More Talking, and
Mum Is the Word In the
Postoffiee Department.
BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY.

washington, June 29.-1special. )--The
postoffice investigation Is to be brought to
an end by the strangulation process and
It win be up to congress to expose those
guilty Of Irregularities in high circles
whom this administration Is disposed to
leave severely alone because of future po-
iitical consequences involved. This Is the
present plan OF the administration. This
morning Postmaster General Payne sum-
moned his four assistants into his private
office and announced to them by order
of the President that no further infor-
nation bearing In the slightest on the
postoffice investigation should be given
out to the newspapers They were in
structed to give all clerks In their re-
spective departments the benefit OF this
information with the further injunction
that any breach of these instructions will
be considered sufficient cause to warrant
the summary dismissal of those SO Of
Tended.
Work of Politicians.
For weeks James s. clarkson T. C.
PIatt and other professional politicians
have been urging the President TO bring
the investigation TO close, and today
evidence was furnished that their advice
is to be needed and that the uncovering
of rascals is to be hushed up for the
present at least. Ever since Postmaster
General Payne announced that there
would be no investigation Of General
Bristow's report. which charged former
higher republican officials with official
Irregularities, 1t has been apparent that
this investigation which President Roose-
welt announced with much gusto would
go from bottom to top is to be brought to
close as soon as possible.
Mum Is the Word.
Mum" is the word in the postoffice de-
partment from now on. Mr.. Payne has
decreed that he shall do all the talking,
and even he has his orders from The Pres
ident to keep his mouth shut. Only the
President can officially give out the post
office news and that means that there
will be nothing doing save the arrest of
two or three of the wrong-doers who
were detected weeks ago, ana whose cases
are now pending before the grand jury
here and In New York. Republican cor
ruptionsts with influence will go Scott
free, is the opinion in Washington.

OVER ONE HUNDRED KILLED.
That Many Bodies Recovered From the
Wreck in Spain.

Madrid, June 29-By midnight one
hundred bodies had been extracted
from the wreck of the Bilbao train
which was overturned Sunday by
bridge into the Nagerilla river, and 1t
is estimated that seventy persons re-
main in the wreckage. The bodies are
horribly mutilated.
Differences between the civil and
military authorities rendered the work
of rescue more difficult. That many
prosperous persons are among the vic
tins is testified to by the great guam
tity OF money and 1ewelry collected
by the gendarmes.

the WESTERN PACIFIC.

The San Francisco Argonaut of recent
date publishes the following railroad
news. which incidentally interests the
people Of this section inssmuch as it is
generally believed that the Western
Pacific is the company that has had
surveyors in the field heresbout quite
recently. II this be true and the road
is built it will undoubtedly go through
ei.her Diamond Valley or Fish Greek
Valley and within fifteen or twenty
miles OF Eureka:
The Western Pacific Railway Com
pany is displaying considerable activity
in the preliminary work Of establishing
its line. A corps of surveyors is at
work between Oroville and Beckwith
Pass, and another corps is determining
the line between the Pass and the State
boundary. In this mountainous region
the most difficult surveying problems
of the route are encountered. A right
of way has been secured through Oak
land, nearly S400, 600 having been in
vested in adjoining property in order 10
secure it.. A right of way has also
been secured through Stockton. and a
large tract Of land has been purchased
in this city in the neighborhood Of
Islais Greek. Bonds to the amount of
Sc, 900 900 have been foated in New
York. The Legislature at its recent
session refused to give the new COM
pany q footing on the southern water
front, but by the time Of the next ses-
sion the work of the company will be
far enough advanced TO make a more
favorable answer probable. The sig
nifcance of all this activity lies in the
fact that this company is generally re-
garded as organized for the purpose of
getting o Western terminal for the
Gould transcontinental lines.

TRADING ON
H
That's What "Old Corson Graham"
Calls Speculation
From Letters From q Self Made Mer-
chant 10 HIS Son" BY George
Horace Lorimer

Now, I want to give you that tip on
the market. There are several reasons
why 1t isn't safe for you to trade on
change just now, but the particular
one is that Graham & Co. will fire you
II you do. Trading on margin is a good
deal like padding around the edge OF
the old swimming hole-it seems safe
and easy at first, but before a fellow
knows 1t he has stepped off the edge
into deep water. The wheat pit is only
thirty feet across, but 1t reaches clear
down to hell. And trading on margins
means trading on the ragged edge OF
nothing. When a man buys, he's buy
ing something that the other fellow
hasn't got. When a man sells, he's sell
ing something that he hasn't got. And
it's been my experience that the net
profit on nothing is nit. When q specu-
lator wins. he don't stop till he loses,
and when be loses he can't stop till he
wins.
You have been In the packing bust
ness long enough now to know that 1t
takes a bull thirty seconds to lose II
hide; and If you'll believe M when I
tell you that they can skin a bear just
as quick on change, you won't have q
board Of trade Indian using your pek
for a rug during the long winter
months.
Because you are the son of a pork
packer you may think that you know q
little more than the next fellow about
~ n4rl~ T1aro,a ,4fhfno IN 4f Tha
poorest men on earth are the relations
Of m~illionaires. When I sell futures on
Change they're against hogs that are
travelling into dry salt at the rate of
one a second, and II the market goes
up on me I've got the solid meat to de-
liver. But, if you lose, the only part Of
the hog which you can deliver Is the
sQueal.
1 wouldn't bear down so hard on this
matter If money was the only thing
that a fellow could lose on change.
But If a clerk sells pork and the mar
ket goes down he's mighty apt to get a
lot of ideas with holes In them and
bad habits as the small change of his
profits. And If the market goes up he's
likely to go short his self respect to
win back his money.
dwell a little on this matter Of spec
ulation because you've got to live next
door to the board of trade all your life,
and it's a safe thing to know something
about a neighbours dogs before you try
to pat them. Sure Things, Straight
Tips and Dead Cinches will come run
ming out to meet you, wagging their
tails and looking as innocent as II they
hadn't just killed a lamb, but they'll
bite. The only safe road to follow in
speculation leads straight away from
the board of trade on the dead run.
OF course the board of trade and ev-
cry other commercial exchange have
their legitimate uses, but all you need
to know just now is that speculation
by a fellow who never owns more pork
at a time than he sees on his breakfast
plate isn't one of them. When you be-
come a packer you may 60 on change
as a trader; until then you can go there
only as a sucker.
