The Report Of the Inspectors Will
Be Made in a Week or
Ten Days.
The Old Rural Mail Box Scandal Of
the Past Ten Years Will Be
Ventilated.
Charges Against supt. Machen-The
Salary and Allowance Divis-
ion Under Cloud.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, March 2s.-The investiga-
ton of the scandal in the postoffice de-
partment is proceeding as rapidly as pos
sible, and it is expected that when POST
master General Payne returns, in week
or ten days, matters will be in such shape
that the report Of the inspectors can be
laid before him, together with the recon-
mendation Of Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter General Bristow, under whose direc-
ton the Inquiries are being conducted.
The matter to which the inspectors are
giving their greatest attention is the old
rural mail box scandal, which extends
over period Of some years, and which
has been brought to the attention of the
postmaster general from time to time
and on two occasions aired in congress.
The present investigation promises to be
more thorough and searching than any
made previously, and the decision of the
postmaster general will end once for all
this scandal. III ..
In regard to charges that Superinten-
dent Machen violated regulations of the
service In ignoring his superior officials
In the transaction of business with mem
bers of congress and In going over the
heads of his superiors in securing an in
crease of salary. Mr.. Payne will naturally
have to be guided in large measure by
his own knowledge of the circumstances
and what he, can learn personally. This
latter is conceded to be a, difficult mat
ter to investigate and still more difficult
to prove and those who desire to see
Mr.. Machen end his connection with the
postoffice department place their main
dependence in the investigation now in
progress to determine irregularities in
the conduct of the free delivery division
The inspectors are also investigating
the affairs of the salary and allowance
division, but little interest centers in that
portion of their work, as Superintendent
Beavers has already resigned and his
successor will be appointed soon after
Postmaster General Payne's return.

LABOR COMPLICATIONS
The Situation in Schenectady Is
Tangled. ,@

Schenectady, N. Y, March 2S.-Some
serious labor complications have arisen
within the last twenty-four hours. The
trades assembly has expelled Martin j.
sharkey, a prominent labor leader, for
telling secrets. The business men have
decided to ignore the demand of the retail
clerks union that they force all their
clerks to join the union An international
officer Of the Lathers' union, who has
been here says the main body will not
approve the latfers' backdown and that it
is probable all the lathers will be taken
away from Schenectady and given work
elsewhere in the belief that the master
builders will be forced to pay the adj
vanced scale of wages to get lathing done
at all. SIS s1 ss-5e

listened for three minutes and then nearly

pondered a moment and then issued a

FIERCE RUNNING FIGHT
A Suburb of Cleveland Has Warm
s., Time With Some Little
Bloodshed.

Cleveland, March 2S.-A desperate battls
was fought early to-day between three
robbers on one side and officers and citi-
zens on the other at Bedford, suburb, re-
sulting in the death of one Of the rob-
bers and the wounding and capture of an
other Many shots were exchanged before
the fleeing men were finally brought to
earth.
Very late last night three masked men
entered the town of Garrettsville, twenty,
five miles east Of Cleveland, seized this
night policeman and bound and gagged
him. The officer was then marched to
the postoffice, where he was compelled to
by the marauders. They finally. after
working some time, gave up the job
without securing anything OF value.
They then entered the store of F. E.
George, where they secured a small sum
of money. Later they stole a, horse and
buggy and drove to Ravenna, where they
boarded Cleveland & Pittsburg freight
train for Cleveland.
Meantime, the authorities had been
aroused at both Ravena and Garretsville.
kilograms were sent to Bedford and when
the train arrived there a number Of deputy
sheriffs and posse of citizens were on
hand, armed with guns and revolvers.z
The three burglars jumped from the train
as it drew up to the station. They imme-i
dately drew their revolvers and a running
fight began. The robbers fired rapidly
as they ran toward an open field, wfils
the officers and posse poured In yolley
after volley upon them.
Finally one Of the pursued men dropped
to the ground dead. A second was SO
badly wounded thathe left trail of blood
in his footsteps and soon threw up his
hands in surrender. The third man
| escaped. The men have not yet been
! identified None of the officers or citi-.
zens were injured.

NOW THE sWINTER BUG
One Man Is Insane From Bite and
Another Is in q Serious
Condition. =.
.anacia1 IN The Ionrnal.

Special to The Journal.
Mendon Mich, March 2s-Oscar New
asaki, young Polish farmer near here,
became a maniac as the result of a bite
by a. winter bug. The day after he was
bitten his body began to swell and physi-
clans have been unable to give him re-
lief.
Professor Do Vos Olinburg, an entomol-
.ogist Of Wheeling, w. Va, is her on a re-
quest Of the national museum at Washing
to to procure specimens of the bug, which
scientists supposed hab become extinct in
the north at any rate.
He found q nest of the insect in a bog
near Newasakis home and while trying
to capture them was bitten on the chin.
He staggered to q neighboring farmhouse
and within half an hour was in a semi
unconscious condition.
Olinburg does not show the symptoms
Of insanity that appeared in Newasaki's
case and the physicians are hopeful Of his
recovery.

ing his own mistakes, revising and cor
recting his errors, quitting the drivers
seat, from which he lashed his steeds so
furiously and took the ditch disastrously,

revitalizing and reafhrming the demo-
cratic platforms of 1854 and 1868 or 1880,

This morning comes news of a threat
ened break in the great levee at Catfish
Point, thirty miles north Of Greenvnle.
The crevasse at La Grange, five miles
south, widened over night and Is now
about 400 yards wide. The widest excite
ment prevailed here last night and reports
Of loss of life were received from the
Tuxedo and Race track additions, but this
morning no confirmation is at hand and
it is believed that all persons living in
those localities had sufficient warning to
escape. The loss on live stock, however,
will be enormous. .~---.. ~
Protection levees are being built in the
middle of Washington street by a large
force of convicts and volunteers. Last
night the two electric light plants in the
southern part Of the city were sub
merged and the city was left in total
darkness. This will add to the danger
for the next few days.

Why the Campaign Contributions

It Is Said the President Was Anx-

Fro.p The journal Bureau, Room IS, Post Build

Washington, March 2s.--Nothing is to
be done with the Quay case, and on the
advice of Attorney General Knox it is to
be allowed to drop" s.--s-- ... .
Quay last year sent out circular letters
soliciting campaign contributions from.
office holders in Pennsylvania. Several.
of these office holders admit receiving the
letters and say that they inclosed their as
sessments by return mail. The evidence
is complete, and it may appear strange
to the outsider that nothing is to be
done.
The case was called to the attention Of
President Roosevelt shortly before the
election, and the whole affair was turned
over to the attorney general, with instruc-
tons to begin prosecution. The attorney
generals recommendations that nothing
be done was made after careful exam
nation, and it did not at all meet with
the desire or expectation of the president,
who desired to make an example OF the
Pennsylvania boss. But the Quay organ

very doubtful. and to lose the case, in the
| Judgment Of the attorney general, would

| To begin with, the man who would

would cause no end Of friction and trouble
In the second place. it would be wei

ABUSED THE FLAG
Unusual Scene on the United States
Cutter Seminole.

Boston. March 2s.-An unusual scene
has been enacted on the United States
revenue cutter Seminole, lying In this
harbor. One day this week one of the
seamen, veteran tar, broke out in the
forecastle in violent abuse of pretty near
ly everything. He proceeded in his vitu-
peration without being molested until he
called the United States flag dirty rag
and INDUCED in other unpatriotic senti-
ments.
q A quartermaster standing near reported
this language to Captain Rogers, COM
rnanding the Seminole, and the latter took
prompt action. All hands were called to
general muster and the captain addressed
them on the enormity of the offense COM
mitted by one of their number. Then he
compelled the culprit to kiss the flag six
times and to repeat after him an obliga-
( ton never to speak dfsrespectfully OF 1t
or to allow anyone else to do so In his
presence. The name Of the offender -
