tirement was Rear Admiral Of the junior
class. will be borne on he retired list as
Rear Admiral Of the senior class, corres-
ponding in rank to a Major General Of the
army, this advancement in rank being
confe red as reward on officers who

records in the naval service As he was an
additional number in tie grade of Rear
Admiral. his retirement does not create a
vacancy or result in any promotion,
Admiral Cook was best known as the
commander of the armored cruiser Brook
Ign in the war with Spain. As such he
served as Chief Of Staff to Rear Admiral
Nhen Commodore) Schley. Throughout
the Schley scandal his loyalty to hat officer
was admired and respected by the officers of
the navy, who recognized that whatever
Admiral Cooks personal opinions might be.
the tradit ions of The service required hat
he should not criticise tho actions of com
mander with whom he had been SO closely

some reason. however, he did not go. He

INDICTED MEN NOT FOUND HERE
Post once Inspectors Stlll at Work In New
York Banks.

Two of United States Marshal Henkel's
men We're looking yesterday for Isaac s.
Mcclellan and George Fl. Huntington, the
two New York men indicted in Washington
in the postal fraud cases. At the offices OF
the Columbia Supply Company, at PIT
Broadway, it was said that both men were
still our of town. The young woman stem
ographer, who seemed to be the person in
charge, said that Mcclellan was on yacht
ing trip and Huntington on his vacation.
Mcclellan, the young woman said, would
undoubtedly be back on Monday and Hunt =
ington probably. although his vacation
was not up.
The cases against Beavers and all the
others belonging in thi, city indicted in
connection with the postal scandal now
hinge largely on the decision to be handed
down by United States Commissioner
Hitchcock in the Runkel case Runkel
was indicted by the Washington Grand
Jury in connection with the frauds in the
purchases Of mail bags. He resisted re-
moval to Washington and demanded
preliminary examination before a Com
missioner here The Government con-
tended In his case. as in the case against
Beavers, that certified copy Of the in
dictment was all that was necessary to
secure the removal of person indicted in
another district, and Commissioner Hitch
cock has promised to render his decision
some time this week. The attorneys Of
several Of the indicted men say that they
have ample prect dent TO back up their
demand for AN examination and that they
intend to appeal, should the decision be
against them.
Post Office inspectors are still working
among financial institutions here, trying
10 trace checks given by the Post Office
Depart ment in payment for supplies.
Their search is understood to relate to the
International Time Recording Company,
the inghamton concern. at the head Of
which i, State Senator George F.. Green,
and the Doremue Canccling Machine Com
pany of Washington The Grand Jury Ia
expected to make known its finding In these
cases on Tuesday, Several new names,
it is said, will be involved in this matter,
and it is expected to mark the end Of the
investigation.

NAVY'S CIVIL ENGINEER CORPS.
DisheartenlnE Conditions in Regard to
Rank and Promotion.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l2.-The Army and
Nary Register to-day in its leading editorial
article presents some surprising facts
in regard TO rank in the Civil Engineer
Corps in the navy The Corps of Civil En-
gineers is responsible for property and
expenditures amounting to over 500 600 600,
and its officers have greater length Of
service than in the other staN corps, yet
they have much less rank than any other
star corps.
OF thrty-one officers, twenty-one are
Junior Lieutenants. These twenty -one will
remain junior Lieutenants to an average
age Of So years. Two of them will get no
promotion till they are 50 years Of age.
one of them will remain junior Lieutenant
10 the age Of 81 years and months The
Register says that no such disheartening
conditions exist in any other corps in the
navy or army, but that fortunately the
President can Immediately Tectify this
gross injustice, as he has full authority
by law to fix the rank Of these officers

NOT THE "HUMAN OSTR ICH."
The Post master at Mobile Made Mistake
in Regard TO an Applicant for Once.

The l'OSt master Al WODile MAut u uSthhc
in Regard to an Applicant for Once.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l2,-The Civil Service
Commission has found that the barring
of Lee w. Wright. otherwise known as
"Tne Human Ostrich" who was taken
off the eligible list for a Government
situation because he was charged with
eating glass, tacks, brass watch chains,
frogs, broken china and various other
articles which are not included in the ordi-
nary human diet, was a mistake, and that
the Lee w. Wright who was endeavoring
to get a position is not the Human Ost-
rich" after all.
The case was brought to the attention
Of the Civil Service Commission by a COM
plant Of r. d. Barker postmaster at Mo-
bile, Ala, who refu sed to recommend
Wright who headed the eligible list OF the
Mobile post office, for "A place under him.
and asked the commissioners to tell HIM
how he could AVOID making the appoint
ment. He enclosed with his complaint
a number of letters from several promi-
nent men and officials of Alabama, bearing
out the charge that Wright was unfit Tor
the place because Of his eccentricities in
satisfying his appetite and the commits
sion removed Wright from the list.
It was learned recently that Postmaster
Barker had coniounded the applicant with
another Lee W. Wright, the real Human
Ostrich" who is a travelling Snowman
and makes his living from his ability to eat
such queer foods.

CHICAGO, Sept Exchanging a mob OF
800 strikers at the plant of Berry's candy
factory, the police last night fought their
way through the union sympathizers and
cleared a passage for three wagons of the
Berry company. The. crowd evidently
knew that the wagons would be sent out
about o'clock in the effort to carry sup
plies to the companys branch stores down
town.
rush was made at the wagons and the
policemen guarding them were beaten back
Six special officers took part in the frav,
but were also swept aside by the mob
A riot call was sent to the Desplanes street
station, and just as the strikers were on
the point Of sacking the wagons a wagon
load OF policemen dashed up. The extra
policemen took part in the battle at once
and the strikers were routed.

CONGRESS TO MEET ON NOV. 9
REPRESENTATIVES, URGED DATE
LATER THAN OCTOBER.

Leaders in House and senate Diner on
Advlsability OF Changing Currency
Laws. and Only Slight Alterations
May lie Made In Extra Session.
OYSTER BAY, l.. l.. Sept 12-The ex-
traordinary session Of Congress which is
to be called for the enactment of legislation
on the Cuban Reciprocity treaty will be
convened on Monday, Nov. 9. That was
learned to-day on good authority. The
President, 1t is said, has abandoned the
idea which was suggested several weeks
ago Of calling the special session early in
October.
At the time when the suggestion for an
October session was made a movement for
financial legislation was being pushed hard
by the President and others of the Admin
istration, and II was said then that an early
date of converting was desired so that the
proposed currency measure, which was to
he taken up in the extra session might not
suffer through lack of time to consider it
In detail.
Some Republican leaders in Congress
favored tho suggestion, but many, es-
pecially members Of the House, opposed it,
They said that an October session would
take them away from their constituencies
during election timea time when their
presence was most needed-and several Of
them protested TO the President against
the change. The wishes Of the Representa-
tives probably had good deal to do with
the final setting of the date, but it is thought
here that the change Of affairs in the outlook
for currency legisla, ion may have had more
to do with he decision.
1t is known now that there are many
and serious differences of opinions be-
tween leaders in the House and the Senate.
and among business men generally, as to
laws, and the President and others who
desire financial legislation are reconciled
to the fact that only remedial measure of
slight consequence. If anything, can be
pushed through the extra session.

HINoHAM, Mass, Sept. 12.-In response
to suggestion made to ex-Gov. Long that
he might under certain circumstances be-
come the Republican candidate for Repre-
sentative in the Legislature, Senator Bouve
has received letter from Mr. Long in which
he says that, while fully recognizing the
honor of representing his old district and the
field Of usefulness it would afford, it is i'm
possible for him to be candidate.
The chief thing about a possible candidacy
that ex-Gov. Long disliked was the posi-
