Washington, May 19-Postmaster

Their information that might throw

charges of Tulloch, Mr.. Payne said,
have been dissected and that the mat

having jurisdiction for a report. The
postmaster general says an officer
may be guilty of irregularities and
still not be in violation of the law
Many of TullOch's allegations are con-
sidered Irregularities on the part of
the officials but not violations of the
postal laws. The alleged irregulari-
ties, however, will be fully investi-
gated. Mr.. Payne said it was a physi-
cal impOssibiIity for TulIoch to know
whether employees at Camp Alger or
in Porto Rico or in the department
were performing the labors for which
they were paid.
. "Tulloch," he says, did not know
what any set of clerks was doing" He
also said that if any one has drawn
money without rendering service an
effort will be made to recover that
money.

vote. This bill provides that in the
future no franchise for a street rail

in any city in the state until 60 days
after its passage by the common
council. If within that time 10 per
cent. of the voters shall petition that
the subject of granting the franchise
be submitted to a vote of the people
the franchise shall in that case not
become operative until it shall be de
cided at a special or the next NUM-
cipal election. The bill also applies
to extension of present franchises. 1t
was the OutgroWth of the trouble
and scandal upon the extending OF
the franchises of the Milwaukee
street railway. 1t passed the assem-
bly, two years ago, but was slaugh-
tered in the senate. That it should
pass the senate at his time was the
cause IOf much surprise.

in the same way as the commission
which directed the construction of the
state historical library, and it carries
an appropriation of $150,000. The
bill provides that the commission is to
investigate the best plan for making
the improvements and sets aside
$4,000 for the employment of archi-
tects to draw a plan. Senator Roerh
said he was opposed TO expending
any more money on the capitol as it
was wasting money. After some dis
cussion the bill was laid over until to-
day. The senate voated to recall
from the assembly the bill providing
for a twO-cent a mile passenger rate.
Senator Martin made a motion that
the vote by which il was non

The popuIntion Of tho MOON.

There is plenty of authority for be-
lievinS that there is n man in the moon.
In fact. there is authority for believing
that there are women and other ami
mails there. Dante. declares that Cain
was banished to the moon and that he
can be seen there at any time. Chaucer
declares that the man in the moon was
guilty of larceny and that he carries a
thorn bush. Shakespeare loads him
with thorns and gives him dog. Ac-
cording to the general version, he was
banished there for gathering sticks on
Sunday, and the Germans have ampli-
fed this theory by giving him wom-
an who had been caught churning but
ter OH Sunday.
