p0intnent Of rural free delivery carriers The
charges allege that the complaining company,

rious sections 10 negotiate with them for the
sale OF the vehicles for use in performing the
postal service. and that in a number Of cases
cited the agents replied that the carriers had

A corporation lawyer intimately connected
with the Northern Securities case said yester-
day:

permitted the case to be transferred from the

Washington, April 1.-THE Secretary of War has

Chief Of Artillery, the purpose of which is TO give

as well as 10 acquaint them more generally with

things, to provide the coast posts with set OF
International flags, and flagstaff with yard arm
from which they may be displayed, and to have

PROMOTIONS HELD UP.
THE POSTAL scandal.
Advancement of Clerks Here
Stopped Pending Investigation
rgy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

zH=ashineton April 11.-Au the promotions and
allowances in the New-York Postofice author
i-ed over the signature Of First Assistant POST
master General Wynne have been held I'D
nending the investigation of the charges that
q promotion pool had been in operation. as
printed in The Tribune this morning.
In explanation OF the attention which is being
paid TO an anonymous communication, il is said
that the charges are so specific furnishing the
names OF the members Of the alleged pool, their
agents and other details, that it is deemed ad-
visabie TO probe the matter to the bottom be-
fore permitting abuses If such exist to go fur
ther.
An investigation Of some notably rapid pro-
motions Will be made in other offices, and re-
cent allowances in all the leading postoffices in
the country Will follow as soon as practicable.
Il was learned to-day that Baker Brothers.
representing the manufacturers OF the Dey time
clock. have fled charges alleging discrtmina-
ton against their clock and in favor of the
Bundy clock, now in use throughout the service
Baker Brothers auege coIlusion between their
own representative and postoff1ce officials.
whereby a favorable report on their clock was
suppressed IL favor Of the Bundy clock
still another charge brought to the attention
Of the postof1ce officials is TO the effect that
certain firm OF wagonmakers has received infor
nation concerning the establishment OF rural
mail routes eTo the appointment con-
si6erably in advance of the publice ton of the
facts, by means Of which information they were
ahle sell their mail wagons TO the carriers be-
fore their competitors had an opportunity 10
DO so.
= rurnor was in circulation at the Postoffice
Department to-day to the effect that a woman
ernploye had been found who had paid a consid-
cradle TO the alleged pool for her promo
ttcn. but the report could not be sufficiently veri
fed 10 warrant its publication as more than
rurnor.
Since the first publication of the charges al
leglng the existence OF the promotion pool"
many communications making similar allega-
tons have been received. That some of these
are inspired by jealousy or spite is obvious. but
that will not prevent the entire matter being
thoroughly sifted.
