The Post Office investigations during the
past week have been the occasion of a re,
markably sensational occurrence. Last
March the President instructed the Post.
master General to demand the resigna.
ton of Judge Tyner, Assistant Attorney
General for the Postoffice Department,
because OF the grave Irregularities charged
to Judge Tyner's division in connection
with the ''get-rich-quick" concerns and
the general and extensive use OF the
mails for fraudulent purposes. Judge
Tyner has for sometime been in very
poor health, having suffered from two
strokes of paralysis and Mr.. Payne per-
mitted his resignation to take effect May
LIST, thus affording him his salary for two
months after his a 'tual deposition. One
day last week Mrs, fyner entertained the
Office of her husband, admitted surrepti.
tiously her sister and safe expert and
abstracted the entire contents of the safe
designed to hold the confidential papers
Of the division. Postmaster General
Payne, when apprised of the facts, inn
mediately sent to the Judge demanding
the papers which were refused. He then
summariIy dismissed Mr.. Tyner. The
matter has been referred to the ATTORNEY
General for further action.
~
Some of the first evidences of the re.
forms to grow out OF the establishment of
general staff for the army are already
observable and many army officers are
deeply exercised because of the curtail-
ment of individual power which is fore
shadowed. For instance, the adminis-
tration OF the vast appropriation for
quartermasters stores, amounting to &c.
600, 600 this year, will be no longer left
to the Quartermaster General but will
devolve upon the staff. The Chief of En-
gineers is also likely to be superseded by
the Staff in the selection of sites for
coast defenses. The general command of
the army, now vested in the General
Commanding will, of course, pass to
the staff and General S. B. M. Young, as
chief Of staff, will become the most in
fluential man in the army.

Immigration figures for the fiscal year,
which will end in sixty days, promise to
exceed those OF all previous years, with
the exception Of 1882 when the aggregate
reached 7ss.s92 persons. For the nine
months ending with last March the total
was 464, ,425, as against 37O,575 for the
period of the previous
year. In the nine months referred to,
Italy took the lead in furnishing immi-
grants, the total being l29,sOO. Austria
Hungary came next with l23, ,234, and |
Russia next with 81, ,73l, this including |
Germany sent over 23,4S2,

"blew into Washington" this week, to
use his own words, and expressed him
self in terms of the utmost enthusiasm
regarding the President. He said SIT is
perfectly ridiculous to think or talk of
any other candidate. The people of the
West are for him to a man. He speaks
their language, thinks their thoughts
and pursues their methods. He is
straight from the shoulder and that is
what the western people love. Any man

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. Anril 9th. 1s

| w AShlNGTONf April ZfLn, 1SUO.
A REMARKABLE and significant de-
- velopment in the political situation
has occurred this week, one of the lead
ing newspapers Of the country and one
that has always been regarded as strictly
Republican, having published series of
articles attacking President Roosevelt
and finally contrasting the Presidents
administration with the presumptive
conduct of ex-President Cleveland, to
tie credit OF the later. The most signifi-
cant feature of the situation, however,
is the fact that the publication referred
to its practically governed, in so far as its
editorial policy is concerned, by Mr.. J.
Pierpont Morgan and the interests with
which the fnancier is allied. At first
blush some OF the mora timid souls in
the Republican ranks were startled by
these attacks OH the President but when
it became evident that their whole ami
mus due to the Presidents action in con-
nection with the Anthracite coal strike,
his attitude towards organized labor and
his enforcement of the Sherman anti
trust law against the Northern Securities
Company, even the timid ones took
heart and concluded that opposition on
such grounds could not but strengthen
the President in the high estimation in
which he is held by the people.
~
A prominent member of the Senate
who has the Presidents interests at
heart said to your correspondent to-day:
'"The situation in a nutshell is this. The
President has refused to be dictated to |
by the Wall Street interests; he has re-
garded it as his duty TO protect the
people from the greed of corporate |
wealth by enforcing the laws which the
people, through their duly elected Con-
gress, have placed on the statutes. He
has recognized that the working man is a
factor in the prosperity of the country
and that the laborer is entitled to his
hire. No arraignment of the President
on those grounds can injure him. Mr..
Roosevelt will not only be the next can
didate of the Republican party but he
will be elected by the largest majority
ever given presidential candidate. He
is an honest, fearless, energetic man and
that is precisely the type of man the
people want in the White House. The
effort to boom Mr.. Cleveland at Mr..
Roosevelt's expense, while surprising
in newspaper professedly Republican,
is not surprising from the Wall Street
for Mr.. Cleveland was always
the friend of the street. No, the friends
Of Mr. Roosevelt have nothing to fear
from the attack to which you refer"

IT WORKED NIGHT AND DAY
A Little Republican Liner Hunting
 Up Engineers.

An advertisement inserted in the Re publican few days ago proved two things. One is that this paper has d wide circulation and the other that q good many skilled workmen are out of employment About two weeks ago A. J. Hansen of Kyrene wanted an en- glneer. He put d small ad. setting forth that want in what is called the popular want" page of the Republican which many people are inclined to be- lieve is the most inconspicuous section of the paper. MT. Hansen got the en- gineer the next day. He had gone home and the advertisement was working like promissory note, attracting in terest in MT. Hansen's want, night and day.
 In the meantime he had gone to Ky rene, where he remained until last Fri day. His mail did not reach him and he did not know what was going on at Kyrene and what that little harmless advertisement was doing to him while he slept. Yesterday morning a letter was received from him. He implored that the advertisement be taken out right away. 1t couldn't be done too quick to suit him. He was inclined to suggest that in order to relieve him promptly it would be better to get out an extra for the purpose of emitting that advertisement
 After he sent the letter he feared that the mails might miscarry for once. Therefore he came to town himself He brought with him a bundle of letters, and he said the bundle did not contain all he had received. Some of them were from Los Angeles. San Francisco Reno. Nev.. and various other Pacific Coast points. There were letters from all over the country. There were sev- eral from Chicago and two from New York.

Wonderful Growth of Seeds.

The extraordinary resuscitating
power of light receiveda very curious
illustration a few days ago in the sill
yer mines at Larium. A mine had
been abandoned more than 1000
years and the seeds of some pop
pies were found beneath the Stag
of aspecies which had disappeared for
90 centuries. The Stag being re-
moved, in a short time the entire
space was covered with the most COR
geous show of peoples. After their
20 centuries rest they had bloomed
as vigorously as ever without air or a
single drop of water.
