days down in the flooded district He,
i'm company with Division Supt. Berry

looking after the roads interests at
Alton, which has been the terminus
of the roads entering st. Louis from

As is generally known the several
roads interested made Alton their

baggage, and express. including al
most the entire daily milk supply for
the city of St. Louis. was transferred
from Alton by two steamers The
roads whose terminal facilities thus
depended were. besides the Burling-
ton, the Big Four. {. & ~. Clover
Leaf. C., =. d St. l.. and the Wabash.
Three heavily loaded steamers arriy-
ed each day and the passengers were
unIoaded with rush. 1t was Mr.
Hart's duty to see that the passen-
gers intended for the Burlington were
gotten safely upon their trains. and
he and several others had a very busy
time of il.
Mr.. Hart left Alton last night and
it was expected then that traffic
would be opened today over the regu-
lar route into st. Louis. doing away
with the boat transfer fer all lines.
The Burlington is now. and has been
for some days. operating its trains
through to Kansas City on its south
western division. on schedule time.
All the washouts have been repaired
and the tracks have been restored to
their usual condition.

ITO understand the awful conditions
in the flooded regions the outside world

SCENE OF THE AssAss1NATIoNs
How the Rooms Look Where the Murder
ers' Did Their Work.

Belgrade, June 1S.-The correspond
ent of the Associated Press was al
lowed to inspect the palace in which
King Alexander and Queen Draga were
murdered. The bed room remains in
the same condition as when the kirg
and queen fed from it on the ap-
prOach of the assassins. The
costly silk bed coverings are full of
bullet holes, the cOnspirators having
shot wildly in all directions, through
and under the bed. chairs and tables,
in the efforts to find their victims.
\ simple wardrobe room, leading di-
rectly from the bed room. was the
scene of the final act in the drama.
The apartment is lofty, but scarcely
seven feet wide and fifteen feet long,
and is furnished only with three great
wardrobes. The officers who attended
the correspondent showed the latter
the bloOdstained floor at one end of
the room, where the king and queen
fell, and the broken shutter at the
window through which their bodies
were thrown to the ground below.
\ secret stairway leads through the
floor to rooms in the southern end of
the palace. BY this stairway the hap
less couple might have attempted to
escape but they were unable to do so
because the opening of this stairway
was covered by a heavy chest.
The Servian officers, chattering and
smiling, led their guest to the differ
ent rooms, eagerly pointing out the
bulIpt- holes DYNAMITE marks and
bIoodstains, and displaying the great
est solicitude that none of the traces
of the slaughter should be overlooked.
Queen Draga's costly gowns and lin
gerie were Overhauled by the rough
hands of the soldiers when the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent was in her
bed room, and rude jests We're made
concerning the drawer full of toys
which it was suggested were intended

CHICAGO STRIKE
NEARING ITS END
Restaurant Help at Last willing to
Waive Some of Its
Demands.

Chicago. jane 1S.-After much dis
cussion the joint board of the hotel
and restaurant help unions has voted
to surrender it's former position and to
recognize the Restaurant Keepers as
sociation and to ask for arbitration.
1t is generally believed that this ac-
ton Will be acceptable to the employ
crs, and that the end of the strike. so
far as the restaurants are concerned,
is in sight.
President Gompers is said to have
declared that the strike must not go
on in the face of the fair offers made
by the hotel and restaurant owners.
He is not in favor of continuing the
fight for the exclusive employment Of
unionists, holding that the union idea
is strong enough to maintain and pro-
mote the growth of the unions.

which are of heavy plate glass inclosed
in solid cast iron frames, are hung cut
at one side of the vestibule at such an
angle that without turning his head
the motorman can see exactly the con-

Military Pay Roll Methods Stated, and
Other Seeming sinuOsities.
In exhibit A, which is one of the
reports of inspectors, irregularities are
shown such as one man claiming two
salaries: same thing shown on the mill
tary roll, where twenty-five men drew
thirty-four salaries. Other exhibits
show similar curios. \ confidential
report of Inspector Smith made in 1899
names four employees on the military
roll who appear not to have performed
any service in connection with mill
tary postal matters and for whose orig
inaI appointment or continuance on
the rolls no good reason exists.
A payment to w. S. Larner, a mill
tary postal clerk, of $11S is shown to
be irregular, and that the cashier pro-
tested. Larner appealed to the de-
partment and the acting postmaster
was informed by the department that
the Washington office held a letter
from the first assistant postmaster
general directing payment to be made
to Mr.. Larner, and if that was not
good enough perhaps it would obey
one signed by the postmaster gener-
al. Inc amount was HDdlly palQ u0-
der written instructions.
Objection is made to certain items
of travelling expenses charged by Per
ry Heath and Beaver, and the claim
of one o. H. Smith to a salary for
doing nothing that the disbursing Off
Ger could find out. The cashier re-
fused to pay Smith, when one Towers
said: General Heath wants to know
why you do not pay Mr.. Smith, Tow
ers also wanted to know whether he
should report to Heath the action of
the cashier and was told that he 6he
cashier) would do his own reporting.
Attention is called to seven clean

ington Office under authority of the

Owing to the fact that street fairs
have become numerous in Illinois
cities during the last few years the

"Shining Mark"


"Shining Mark"
In BriStow's reply, referring to the
Inspector of the Washington postoffice,
referred to also by Tulloch, he says:
''Chief Inspector Cochran and Inspec-
tor-in- Charge Smith called upon me
and advised me that the inspectors in
the investigation of the postOffice had
discovered many Irregularities of Sc
rious nature which seemed to be au-
thorized by the department"
Proceeding, Bristow says: During
the progress of the inspection 1 was
advised by the chief inspector that Mr..
George w. Beavers, chief o. salary
and allowance division. had suggest
ed to one of the inspectors that when
he came to certain appointments in
some of the stations that appeared ir-
regular he had better make no refer
ence to them. as they had been ordered
personally by the postmaster general
1 told the chief inspector to instruct
the inspectors to report the facts as
they would in any other inspe ction;
that l did not believe the postmaster
general had knowingly authorized any
irregularities.
Captain W. Smith, inspector-in-
charge, submitted n special report on
July as directed This report dis
closed what seemed to me glaring ir-
regularities, and l submitted it per-
sonally to the postmaster general. sug-
gesting to him at the time that it con
tanned matter to which l thought he
would want to give his personal at
tention."
Bristow then refers to other reports
showing Irregularities of various kinds.
These were all turned over to the post
master general, together with a spe-
cial report in which he stated that Il
understand from the chief inspector
that complaint has been made that
Inspector Little was asking unneces-
sary questions, with the possible view
of embarrassing the department with
regard to certain conditions in the
Washington pOstoffice, but that after
inquiry 1 was clearly convinced that
the questions asked were not unneces-
sary or improper"

from a pile of debris 100 feet thick.
OF the seven one is a Chinaman and
one n woman about 30 years of age,

many of them women with children,
asked for permission to sleep on the
floor at the Roman Catholic church, the
court house and the school house dur
ing the night. The officers granted
permission, but were surprised at the
repetition of the request. 1t is not
destitution but fear that causes the

Many men declare that they will
never live in the town again. and are

Fourth Assistant Postmaster General

Tulloch of irregularities in the postof-
flee department has been made public.
BristOw's letter to the postmaster gem
eral transmits the reports of inspec-
tors. These largely confirm the charges
made by Tulloch. The papers printed
in fact, constitute by far the most sig
niticant documents yet made public as
a result of the sweeping postal in-
vestigation. The reports show the eX-
istence of many Irregularities during
the period involved. The inspector who
Investigated the Irregularities reports
that the files of the postoffice cashier
show direct orders from superior au-
thority for the disbursement of all the
questionable items cited.
The inspector urged that the re-
sponsibility for the many Illegal ap-
pointments, the payment of two sal
aries to one and the same person, and
the disbursement of thousands of dol
lars for which practically no service
was performed should be placed
