NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.
NAV Have Left the Country.

Postofice Department officials believe
George w. Beavers, former Superinten-
dent of the Division of Salaries and Al
lowances. now under indictment, has left
New York for parts unknown.
After Beavers was indicted by the
Brooklyn grand jury for conspiracy to
defraund the impression prevailed that
he was where inspectors could put their
hands on him at any time and that the
Government did not care to make pub
lie the evidence against him at preli-
minary hearing before a United States
commissioner.
Many stories have been printed con-
corning Beavers movements in New
York, but they have all been second
hand. The public has. heard nothing
from persons who have actually seen the
mysterious Beavers. -.
Postofice Department officials are said
to have been approached within the last
"a hours by persons who asked that
August w. Machen's bond be increased,
to make it certain that The will not flee
from the country to escape the charges
which are pending against him. Since
the return of the indictments against
Machen the Department of Justice is in
charge of his case and must decide
whether his bond is sufficient.
1t has been predicted that the former
Superintendent of Free Delivery will
leave the country and forfeit his bail, If
there be no other way of escaping trial
on the charges of conspiracy brought
against him in connection with the Post
office Department scandals.

Domestic Trade is Good.

Internal commerce conditions in the
United States are reported by the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor,
through its Bureau of Statistics, and
shows that the first half of the current
year compares favorably with the cor
responding period of 1902 and 1901.
With a few exceptions, the volume OF
trade thus far this year equaled, if not
exceeded, that of last year, though oc-
casionally falling below the high level OF
1901. There is no evidence, says the
Bureau, of a general recession in COM
mercial activities corresponding to the
extraordinary shrinkage in speculative
values.
Western staples for this year have
gained materially over last year, receipts
of live stock at five markets having
amounted to I5,I26,66I head, compared
with I4o5S,345 head in the first SIX
months of 1902.
Wheat receipts at eight interior mar
kets for the crop year ended June 80,
1903, were 236675,66o bushels, compared
with 22I,766, 3S7 bushels in 1902.
The total shipments of provisions from
Chicago and Chicago points for the first
26 weeks of 1903 were o2I,I33 tons,
against 653,2I7 tons in the same period
of 1902 and 10000 tons in IeoI
