OBITUARY NOTES.
Mr. William Fl. HutohinsOn.


 William H. Hutchinson, who died on Wednesday, August 5, at his home at 65S Howard avenue, was one Of the old- est and most respected citizens of the south side of the city. He was born at Cornwall Bridge In 1922, where he learn ed the trade of a nliilwright and work ed at it until 1851 when he married and went upon farm in New York, remain ing ther for seven years. e For some years he worked in the Brooklyn navy yard and in the car shops oS the New Haven railroad. In 1863 he went into the grocery business at the corner of Columbus avenue and Lafayette street, where he continued to do business for nearly forty years. In his dealings he was known by every one to be thoroughly honest and conscien- tious. and by his Hberality he suffered many losses. He did not feel able to cope with modern methods and competi- tion. and so his business narrowed down in later years until with failing health he closed it out with the old cen- tury.
 He was a member of the Howard ave- nue Congregational church, where he was held in the highest regard for his integrity and modest Christian man. hood. He leaves a wife with whom he has lived sor just f1fty-two years. and one daughter, Miss Carrie. The funeral will be on Friday at o'clock at the house.

MichaePs society and the Holy Rosary society attended in body. The cele- brant of the solemn requiem mass was Rev. Father Anthony Demo of New. York. The Gregorian mass was sung by the choir. Professor Reynolds was organist, Miss Josephine Reynolds sang the Ava Marie" very nicely at the offertory. The interment was in the priests plot in St. Bernard's cenle- tery

WEYMOUTH, England April 1s.-The
Shamrock Ill challenger for the Americas 8

terday, is being rapidly overhauled. The
destruction of her standing gear was prac-
tically complete. Almost everything above

ing to clear away the wreckage as quickly

uninjured the topsail yards are useless
and the sails are ruined.

day. No official estimate of the loss is
available. but 1t is thought that $25 900

largely speculation. Nothing definite will
be known on the subject until Designer Fife

DEPARTMENT METHODS.
The Postmaster General Talks to
NeWspaper CORRESPONDENTS.

Postmaster General Payne gathered the
newspaper correspondents around him yes
terday afternoon at the Post Office Depart
ment and had a heart-to-heart talk as to
the methods of the business Of his office
and Of the investigation that is proceeding.
The conference. a.; it may be called, con-
tinued for long time and when the Post
master Generals auditors left his presence,
much pleased with their interview, they
knew NO more of the investigation than
they had before they entered his room. al
though they had learned a great deal about
the methods of the Post Office Department
and how it transacts business. The Post
master General is sticking rigidly to the
policy he announced when he returned from
his West Indian trip of keeping the III
vestigation strictly within the Post Office
Department until it has been concluded.
He promises that he will then make a
statement, although he does not promise to
tell all that has been discovered.
RumOrs reached the Post Office Depart
ment yesterday of the existence of a pro-
motion ring in the Brooklyn post office SIM
liar to that said to exist inAhe New York
Office. The officials of the department do
not place any credence in the rumor for
the reason that as yet no evidence of the
existence of a ring has been brought for
ward. The Postmaster General has stated
that he was not contemplating the suspen-
sion of any official pending the close of the
investigation, but added that If Fourth AS
sistant Postmaster General Bristow, who is
directing the investigation, were to recon-
mend suspension the recommendation
would be considered carefully and with
disposition to follow the recommendation
though he (Mr. Payne) would exercise his
independent judgment to what the cir
cumStanceS warranted.
Mr.fayne was asked regarding the alleged
advance information furnished to interested
parties with reference to the appointment
of rural free delivery carriers II suppose
you mean by that" responded the Post
master General, "the possibility Of collu-
sion between the department and business
concerns interested. do not see how such
tips could come from the department, be-
cause the civil service commission has to
pass on the selection of carriers"
The Postmaster General said he thought
it was the duty of newspapers that acquire
evidence Of improper actions of persons in
the service to furnish 1t to the department.
and aid in the investigation now in prog
reSS.

WILL BECOME IMPORTANT
The Dutch-German Cable May B
Landed on Guam.

After mature consideration the State and
Navy Departments have greed to the land
ing Of the Dutch-German cable on the
Island of Guam. This cable touches at
various Dutch and German Microneaian
Islands and finally connects with an Asiatic
trunk line. The only objection suggested to
the landing on Guam was based on the
location of the landing place selected by
the cable company. but an agreement has
been reached on that point and it will soon
be possible for the Navy Department to
send emergency orders by wire to the ma
val commandant at Agana. In the course
Of time probably by September next, the
department will be able to communicate
in the same way with Guam over an all
American cable. With these connections.
naval officers expect that the little island
will ultimately become an important port
Of call in the southern seas.
