Chamberlain Is sauguine.
TWO LEADERS ARE IN HARMONY
No Rivalry Between Chamberlain and
BaIfour-Party Lines in Peril.

BRIfour-Party Lines In Peril
In this crusade the colonial secre-
tary iSabsolutely in harmony with Pre-
mier Balfour and harbors no designs
on the premiership. If Il general elec-
ton occurred tomorrow and Chamber
lain's programme carried Balfour
would take the refns of government
again. The only practical development
likely in the near future Is n series of
political speeches from leaders on both
sides. The opposition is almost solid
ly opposed to modification of free
trade and will endeavor to arouse that
public ferment which was associated
With the corn-taX days.
Chamberlain. BalfOur and UniOnists
who agree with them will try to eX-
tract from the public that degree of
support which they may interpret as
n popular mandate. All signs point to
a long campaign on the lines of pro-
lection versus free trade. which may
destroy party lines almost as much as
did the home rule question.
In all the arguments the example
and probable attitude of the United
nentS of the scheme declare that the
comparative immunity of the United
States from taxation precludeS his
prosperity under protection being ap-
plicable to the Britisher, who. as even
the government organs admit, is al
ready so heavily taxed that the initial
years of protection. with higher-priced
food, would be a severe strain on him
and might create bitter dissatisfaction
among the poorer classes.
The sugar convention bill, enabling
the British government to carry out the
provisions of the Brussels sugar con
vention, which passed its second read
ing In the house of commons Thurs
day. is taken by the Liberal papers to
be an important feature of Chamber
lain's attack on free trade" The text
of the bill provides for prohibition of
the importation of bOunty-fed sugar,
that the origin Of imported sugar be
proved. and that there be supervision
by the customs or inland revenue au.
thorities of all British refineries. which
must be worked only by persons au-
thoriZed by the commissioners.

Quincy Has a Council Scandal.

Quincy, ILL.,, May 80. = The grand
jury is investigating charges of al
legged attempted bribery in the city
council in connection with the recent
passing of telephone franchise to f..
L. Bliss. of Chicago. The charges are
that the Western Illinois Telephone
company offered to bribe some of the
members of the council. Alderman
Charles Achelpohl was summoned, but
refused to answer questions. The
state IS attorney asked an order from
the circuit court exempting him from
the penalty and directing him to tell
all he knows and the court took the
question under advisement.

SALARY ROLL 1NvEsrIGA ALTON
Shows That Fourteen Men Have Been Re-
ceIying Too Much Money.

Washington, May 80. - The post
master general has announced the
completion of the investigation of the
salary rolls of all the Grst and second
class pOstofficeS in the country. The
only irregularities reported, all of
which have been ordered to be cor
rected Immediately were the payment
to fourteen assistant postmasters of a
larger salary than they should re-
ceive under the departments policy;
payments to a few clerks of more than
the law allows, and the existence of
designations unknown to the law for
positions in seventeen postoffices
Payne said that none of these items
indicates any wrong-doing. and he re-
CARDS this net result of the overhaul
ing of the rolls of upwards of 1900
presidential postoffices as gratifying
The places where assistants were
getting too much salary were: Cairo,
ILL.,: Clarinda, Ia; East st. Louis, Ill. !;
Flushing, Fredonia and Geneva. n. Y;
Freehold, n. j.; Warren, Pa; Hagers-
town, Md: Portsmouth, n. H.; Stam-
ford, Conn; Stevens Points, Wis, and
of these excessive allowances were
made during the administration Of
George w. Beavers, who resigned as
superintendent of salaries and allow
ances Immediately after the investiga~
tion in the postoffice department be-
gan.
The rolls of the third-class postof-
fees. the lowest of the presidential
grades, are now under investigation
and the authority for the compensa-
tion of the employees of every third
class postoffice in the country is be-
ing carefully examined. Postmaster
General Payne made the following
statement regarding the changes an
nounced:
''The law provides that i'm first-class
postoffices the assistant postmaster's
salary. shall be not TO exceed 80 per
cent of the salary of the postmaster
but this does not apply to assistant
postmasters in offices of the second
class. 1t is believed that the basis
of compensation should be uniform in
all offices of the first and second
class, hence this order reducing the
salaries of assistant pOstmastersl. The
total amount saved to the government
by this order will be $500 year.

MERRITT IN REPLY
Washington's Postmaster Replies
to the Charges Made by
Ex.Cashier TuIIcch.
STRIKES A BLOW AT THE AooUsER
BY Charging Him with a Very Grave
Offense-Abuses That Have
Existed.

Washington, May so. - Postmas-
ter General Payne has made public
the reply of Postmaster Merritt, of
this city, to the Tulloch charges. The
Merritt response makes serious ac-
cusations against eX-Cashier s. W.Tul-
loch, of the Washington postoffice,
saying that transaction in which
Tulloch was concerned in 1898 zap
pears to comprehend the presentation
of false voucher, which is made Il
crime by the statutes" Merritt's re-
ply further alleges that receipts were
ing Tulloch's regime as cashier, and
that the files do not indicate any COM
plaint of irregularities against the
Washington postoffice filed by Tulloch
while he was in office.
Practices That Aren't Abuses.
Merritt says the general practice of
giving employees duties seemingly in
compatible with their positions is no
abuse, and that the practice of paying
certain expenses of the postofiice de-
partment out of the Washington city
POSlOilANt lhAiho always AtAo N-AASANNs
and is proper.
All Occurred Under TulIOoh.
Merritt says: THE irregularities
charged by Mr.. Tulloch-though l am
not Informed as to the details-au Oc-
Cured before July l, 1899, when l
entered upon the duties of the office,
while Mr.. Tulloch was holding the Of
flee of cashier, and when-if he had
regarded them as wrOng-he should
have officially called attention to them.
This he evidently failed to do. AS you
will see from the comptrOller's letter
some of the Irregularities TO which he
calls attention were evidently due to
Mr.. Tulloch's own neglect or ignOr-
ance, and all of them are transactions
which he had been habitaually taking
up for the postmaster as part of his
accounts. If there were any serious
irregularities, as Mr.. Tulloch claims.
1 think they were nearly all corrected
soon after the comptroller called at
tention TO them"

London, May 30.-Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's protectionist policy is
the topic of discussion here. His mas
terful assertion that he would make
reciprocal trade between the mother
country and her colonies the ques-
ton of the hour has been fulfilled.
Columns of comment fill the news

templated appealing to the country on
preferential trade and Old-age pensions

beginning of August, while other main
tain that the government has not the
slightest intention of giving up its un-
expired term of office.
Vote Is Eighteen Months Away.
The Telegraph, generally semi-in-
spired. says: ''The issue could not be
voted on for at least eighteen months,
but meantime the government will
give the country and parliament every
opportunity to discuss it" A decision
probably VIII be reacheu soon ana VIII
depend almost entirely on the results
of the propaganda undertaken by the
press and members of the house of
commons. If the indication are that
Chamberlain will have the country at
his back a general election at the end
of this year is probable.
Chamberlain Is sauguine.
The colonial secretary himself. the
Associated Press learns, is doubtful if
he could win just at present, but he
is enthusiastically positive that with
political agitation the constituencies
can be brought to see the wisdom of
his policy. Those who have discussed
the preferential scheme with its au-
thor say he never exhibited such keen
interest in any other topic.

RIVERS RISE ALARMuNGLY FAST
All Previous Records Are To He Beaten a
Kansas CIty-CrOps Destroyed.

Kansas City, May 3O.-The flood sit
ri and Kaw rivers here and west is
far more serious than yesterday.
Both streams continue to rise stead
lily today also. No lives are lost.
Kansas City, May 3O.-The Kansas
and Missouri rivers are rising here at
an alarming rate, and the indications
are that all previous high water rec
DDS at this point will be broken. Much
damage has already been done to prop
erty in the lowlands along the two
rivers, and much apprehension is felt
for the safety of property in the west
bottom district of this city. The Kan
sas river is rising at the rate of an
inch an hour and the heavy and al
most continual rains have added to
the gravity of the local situation. Su-
perintendent COnnor, of the Kansas
City weather bureau, predicts that
the rise of the Missouri river during
the next three days will be unpre-
cedented.
At the little town of Harlem, across
from this city, the residents in the
flooded district were rescued from
house to house in boats after losing
most of their personal effects. The
embankment of the Burlington rail-
roads holding the. flood from the rest
of the town, but a rise of few more
inches will carry the water over the
embankment. The Kansas river has
forced hundreds of families to leave
their homes in Argentine and various
parts of Kansas City, Kan.
Thousands of acres of choice garden
land just west of this city are over
flowed and the damage to crops will
amount to thousands of dollars. A
thousand shack dwellers have been
driven before the flood to places of
safety.
