After long conference with Mr.. Bris-
tow. Postmaster General Payne this
morning relieved from duty G. a. G.
Christiaucy. Acting Assistant Attorney
General for the PostofIice Department. in
The following letter:
April -. 1903.
Dear Sir: l have your communication
of fbe 10Th instant in which you ask for
an Investigation of all your official acts
and request that, pending and during
such investigation. you be relieved from
the responsibility of the conduct of the

quest viii be granted and that YOU will
have leave Of absence until further
notice
You viii be given every opportunity
TO make answer to or explain any mat
ters which may develop which may seem
reflect upon your conduct as an official
of the Post Office Department" "
Mr. Christiancy returned to Washing
ton today after two days stay at Old
Point He had a conference with Mr..
Payne this morning and will probably go
away again for long rest in the coun-
try
Tyner Episode.
As was intimated in The Times. Post
master General Payne decided that the
taking OF one package of Government
papers from Judge Tyner's safe by Mrs.
Tyner is sufficient ground for urging sn
indictment against those who took part
in the affair. As long as it was thought
that only personal papers were taken.
the opinion prevailed there would be
SO much difficulty in obtaining a con
viction the Postmaster General would
not recommend an indictment. but the
admission by the Tyners that they took
some Government documents changed
the complexion of the case, and per
suaded MIR. Payne to ask for criminal
procedure.
The charges of the Central Labor
Union against the bag management of
the mail repair shop have at last been
formally received BY Mr.. Payne and by
MIN have been referred to Mr.. Bristow.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General.
The charges are that favoTitfsm was
shown in the management of the Office
and the work in repairing bags and
locks was improperly performed. Allie
cations Of a similar nature have been
fled under previous administrations.

No Loss TO Philippines.

The present advance in silver is caus-
ing no loss 20 the Philippines. by rea-
son of the fact that the island govern
ment has large supply of Mexican
dollars in its treasury. which are to be
displaced by he new coins. Though The
cost of the silver going into the new
coins is increasing. the value Of the sill
yer in Mexican money is also advancing.
In other words, what they are disburs-
ing with one hand, they are getting back
with the other
So long as the price of the silver re-
mains below the coinage value of the
new Philippine coins the situation is not
alarming, but the moment silver goes
above the coinage value. the monetary
system for the islands would be ruined
The silver in the coins would be Of more
worth as bullion than as coins.
Taking as an example the silver pesos.
which have a coinage value OF 81 cents
an ounce for the silver used, it will
readily be seen that if the price Of sill
yer ahoulg1 81 aboFs .hat agure the
coins would disappear and be placed On
the market as bullion.
Cause for Uneasiness.
While it viii be said at once that
there is no danger of silver advancing
10 cents from the present figure. it
cannot be denied that the history OF
the past month or two furnishes just
cause for uneasiness. Let the price ad-
vance cents. for insurance, there would
be an immediate boarding OF the coins
in anticipation Of a like advance. Meth
er can it be denied that silver has gone
far beyond 81 cents even IN the past
few years.
Treasury officials have been asked why
they continue to purchase silver at the
rate. The answer is that the
Philippine government is anxious to get
established its new monetary system,
and it is necessary to have ) 5.000, coo pesos
on hand before it is possible to put any
sum in circulation, and for the addi-
tional reason that the accumulation of
Mexican dollars owned by the Philip
pine government enables the payment of
the advanced price without loss.
An Interesting Comparison.
ne uiStoTy OF the SILVER market as
indicated by the purchase by the Unit
ed States is of great interest in this
connection, especially for that period
since January, 1892. In that month SO
cents an ounce was paid the first week.
and this had dropped to 90 cents in the /
last week This figure continued until
the second week in March. when the
price dropped another cent, and remain !
ed firm until the third week in April, |
when it went down TO 80 cents The /
lst Of June 50 cents was paid, and the /!
figure was the same in August. and Their /
came the sensational drop-September /
81; October, 81; November 80. and so on /
down to 49 and As in December. around /
which figure the price has been hover /
ng until the purchases were begun for /
he Philippines at 40 cents !

CONTRACTS FOR HOSPITAL.
Worcester Firm Will Have Main Buildings in
Charge-Work Soon to Begin.

Word received from the trustees OF
the Thompson Memorial hospital gives
assurance that work on that fine public
institution will shortly begin. 1t is
expected that ground for the founda-
ton walls will be broken next week.
The contract for the construction OF
the two fire-proof buildings of the
Brattleboro hospital, viz, the patients
ward and the surgical department, has
been let to the we'll known contractors,
Messrs. G. H. Cutting Il Co, of
Worcester
This firm are likewise to build a
hospital for the Vermont Marble com
pany in Proctor, Vt, and the running
of the two contracts together will un-
doubtedly result in an advantage for
both enterprises.
The remaining building on the es-
tate will probably be let in smaller
contracts
Since the settlement Of the legal
difficulties short time ago the trus-
tees, realizing that the remainder of
the season is short, have lost no time
in pressing matters forward so as to
let the contracts at the earliest posi-
BILE date.
1t is the policy of Messrs. Cutting
& Co. to make all possible use of local
labor, which policy is to be followed
IN this contract.

never received such surprise as their
friends and neighbors gave them

innocent pretext, and on their return
they found their house handsomely
decorated and trimmed with flowers,
plants and vines, asparagus, white and
ox-eyed daisies being lavishly used.
About 200 guests were present, includ-
ing number from out or town.

WON IN THE NINTH.
Catholic Unions Struck Batting Streak and
Pulled Out the Game.

The veteran Cox was responsible fol
the defeat of the Y. M. G. A. Satur-
day, they being unable to connect with
his delivery for but three hits. Still
it looked like anybody's game up to
the ninth inning with the score 6-5,
when the Union got after Stafford and
batted him to all corners OF the field
for total of seven runs.
King started the ball rolling in this
inning by a pretty hit to center, which
was followed by two bases on balls, a
cracking three-base hit by Williamson
to right, then two singles made the
supporters of the green happy.
The fielding at times was brilliant
and the hitting The cleanest seen on
the local field in many day. Wright,
Bean and Clune played fast fielding
game for the Union and March's work
at second was as good as ever. Wright's
batting, Williamson three bagger
and two hits by King in the ninth
uara the aaturas The scora.

Weather indications for tomorrow

Weather indications for tomorrow
are favorable for pleasant celebration
of the day. The United States wealth
er bureau forecasts show ers and cool
er. Nobody will find fault with that
The liquor dealers will do the right
thing and serve the community inter
ests if they close their places of bust
ness tomorrow evening. The arrival of
excursionists from the Keene celebra-
ton on late trains will not tend to
quietness on the streets. and it will be
a very proper courtesy for the liquor
sellers to close up and let the crowds
disperse from the depot as may be.
