Mr.. De Regel stated that he came to this
city short time ago from Mexico; that he
was told that his father died in the year
1873, while he, the witness, was a small
boy; that he did not believe his father was
dead. and that he came to Washington to
find him. Mr.. De Regel told the Jury that
he conceived the idea that his father had
become President Of the United States, and
explained that he came here to see the
President and find out whether he was, in
fact, his father.
He further said that since his arrival he
had learned that the President had gone
west on a bear hunt, and that he could not
be seen for several weeks; that, not being
able to see Mr.. Roosevelt. he had procured
a picture of him. and after carefully exam
lining it he had become convinced that he
was mistaken and that the President of
the United States was not his father.
Thomas w. Hall. who was committed to
fusion that he is the greatest detective In
the world: he stated that he was DESTROYS
of becoming a member of the metropolitan
police force. and informed the jury that he
was the only man In the United States who
could find Dorsey Foultz.

Not Received by Postmaster
General.
A VOLUMINOUS AFFAIR
WILL BE SPECIFIC IN ALICIA
TONS OF IRREGULARITIES.
Case of the Colored Carrier Allgood
Being Looked Into by
Senator Bate.

Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon, the letter
from Mr.. Tulloch. formerly cashier OF the
Washington city post office. had not been
received by Postmaster General Payne.
The Postmaster. General said he had re-
ceived assurances from Mr.. Tulloch that
the letter would be forthcoming today. and
he had reason to believe that it would
reach him some time in the afternoon
Mr. Tulloch's letter is said to be a
volumnous document, giving specific in
stances of alleged Irregularities and ac-
companied by dates and places, and telling
where substantiatory information can be
had by reference to the records of the city
post office and the Post Office Department.
Out of courtesy to the Postmaster Gen.
eral 1t Is understood that Mr.. Tulloch has
decided not to give out for publication
copies of his letter at once preferring that
Mr.. Payne do this.
Mr.. Payne said this afternoon he did not
know whether he would give to the press
Mr.. Tulloch's letter. He said 1t was
question that could not be decided until ne
had seen the letter.
Case Of Allgood.
1t was understood this afternoon that
Senator Bate of Tennessee had come to
town to confer with Postmaster General
Payne regarding the intimidation of ALI
wood. the colored rural free delivery car
rier at Gallatin Tenn,
Senator Bate was born near Gallatin. and
he has a summer home on the route served
by Algood. The Postmaster General has
received no further information from w. r.
Conger. the special agent who was detailed
to investigate the trouble. Mr. Conger's
formal report is expected tomorrow.
Inspection by civil service authorities of
clerical lists In the Washington post office
will probably be extended to other offices
I'm the country. President Proctor OF the
civil service commission, who has been
watching the inspection of the local post
office with interest has expressed the hope
that 1t shall be general.
Practice of Transfer Stopped.
The practice of transferring postal clerks
from outside offices to civil service places
in Washington has been stopped. The re-
cent orders of President Roosevelt, coupled
with the investigation that has been in
progress in the Post Office Department for
more than ten weeks. has had result
gratifying to the civil service commission
and all believers in civil service.
There were undoubtedly many instances,
Mr.. Proctor is quoted as having said, where
clerks were put into post offices about to
be classified with the purpose of having
them transferred to the classified service in
the departments.
Under the new rules all such clerks in
post offices must have served six months
before they are eligible for transfer, and
moreover. If a transfer is contemplated, I'M
der the rules the clerk desiring 1t must
pass an examination for the new work in
view.

the part of the people. The last exchange
of visits between the rulers OF England and
France occurred at the time Of the Crimean
war, when Queen Victoria. with the object

late queen at Paris during the reign OF
Napoleon III, no other English monarch has
ever visited the French capital In state
since the time when King Henry vi went
there as an infant to be crowned King Of
France In 1422. This interchange OF visits
between Victoria and the French emperor

respective nations and to promote the trade
between the two countries throughout the
