and 1t is rare for one Of these men

been found that many men who would

to them by the Jewelry peddler. From
the standpoint Of the wholesale dealer
this business is conducted almost en-

Forto Rico Gases Had Already Been
Settled by Treasury. Departmeut


Porto Rico Cases Had Already Been
settled by Treasury. Department.
washington, Arpil 1.-THE atten-
ton OF the officials of the department of
justice has been called to the published
dispatch from San Juan, Porto Rico, to
the effect that the United States dig
trlct attorney there had declined to
prosecute criminally a number of army
and navy officers for alleged smuggling,
explaining his action by the statement
that he was acting under orders from
Washington.
Secretary Moody ard Postmaster
General Payne we're in Porto Rico
shortly after the offenses complained
OF became known, and we're directed
to investigate and report the facts in
the case.
Postmaster General Payne, when his
attention was called to the matter, dc
tated the following statement:
These cases were called to the at
tention of the cabinet because they in
volved officers of the army and navy,
and at the request of the attorney gene
raj the secretary of the navy and the
postmaster general, who were about to
visit Porto Rico, were asked to make a
personal investigation into the facts of
the case.
''It seems that certain officers had
brought to San Juan articles for per-
sonal use which we're subject to customs
duties, especially cigars and some liq-
uors, and it was said that present OF
some of the cigars was made to local
club of San Juan. There was no charge
of importing anything upon which it
was proposed to make money or to sell
for proft-simply personal effects for
personal use--some of which it seems
were given away.
eve were advised by the secretary OF
the treasury, such cases coming under
his jurisdiction, that in cases of this
character, where there was no inten-
ton to import for profit, meaning by
that where the goods were not brought
in for sale, it is customary not to pros
ecute criminally, but to settle such
cases by the payment of the penalty.
This was done in this case, and the Off
Ger or officers in question have paid the
penalty imposed by the treasury depart
ment, which is twice the amount of the
original duty.
ga settlement on this basis having
been approved by the secretary of the
treasury it seemed to the secretary OF
the navy and to the postmaster general
that criminal prosecution would be per-
seeution, and we felt entirely justified
in recommending that it be not fol-
lowed in this case"

SCHEDULE SETTLED.
Northern Pacific and Its Trainmen
Roach an Agreement.

St. Paul, April 17.-All the matters
in dispute between the officials of the
Northern Pacific railway and the con-
ductors and trainmen have been settled
to the satisfaction of both parties, and
the negotiations which began early in
January are now ended. The agreement
was reached at a conference during the
afternoon which lasted less than two
hours.
The men will get an advance of Is
per cent for freight conductors and
trainmen and IL per cent for passenger
trainmen. Yardmen in all yards were
granted the new Chicago scale, which
is half cent an hour higher than the
rate which the Northern Pacific men se-
cured last fall.
The company agreed to discontinue
practice of running double-header trains
except on two divisions, where they
will be run on low tonnage restriction,
and made an agreement with the men
on the locations where helper engines
may be maintained. With one or two
exceptions the helper, districts are
along the Yellowstone and in the Rocky
mountain divisions. This agreement
made with the Northern Pacific is sim-
liar to that made with tho Southern
Pacific, the Santa Fe and the Union
Pacific.
The increase in pay will affect about
l 400 men scattered between st. Paul
and Duluth and the Pacific coast.
The grand officers, Messrs. Garretson
and Newman, will remain in st. Paul
until the return of President j. j. Hill
and will then breach the subject OF
settlement with the Great Northern.

BIG MILLS SILENT.
Every Flour Producer in Minneap.
oils Closed Down.

Minneapolis, April 1S.-The North
western Miller says: Every mill in
Minneapolis and practically all the mer-
chant spring wheat mills in Minnesota
and the Northwest have shut down en-
tirely and will cease turning out flour
for an indefinite period. This act has
Deen forced upon the millers by the
conditions surrounding the manufacture
and sale of flour. For some time, ow-
ing to the price of cash wheat, the high
rates of freight and the depressed state
of the -four markets, mills have been
operating at loss, but the browning
disadvantage which has paralyzed the
milling industry throughout the North
west was the act of the line OF boats
operating between Duluth and Buffalo
in yesterday moving wheat on the basis
of cents a bushel, while the present
proportionate rate on -four from Duluth
to Buffalo is maintained at 9 cents per
hundred pounds The lines have told
the millers that under tho Elkins bill
they need not anticipate any discrimi-
nation in rates against flour, but the
action of the line of boats in making
this cent rate on wheat shows that
such an assurance was meaningless.
Until the freight rates on the manufac-
tured product are placed on parity
with those given the raw material, OF
the cent rate on wheat IN advanced
the millers will find it impossible to
grind.

Jobn Redmond, replying to an en-
.brsiastic vote of thanks for his chair

makes the important announcement
that the amendments adopted by the

lord MAYO, Capt. Shave Taylor, John

T. P. O'Connor, summing up the
nroceedings, writes the following for
the Associated Press:
"This was the day for agreeing on
the amendments to the land bill which
are considered essential. Most of these
we're proposed by William O'Brien.
They covered several important ques-
tons, including the demands for more
liberal treatment of the congested dis
tricts and of the laborers. The pro-
ceedngs were extremely harmonious.
There was an animated but good hu-
mored discussion on the retention of
an eighth as rent charge, proposed by
Mr.. Davitt and myself, the former rep
resenting the views in favor of the ma
tionalzation of the land, while / put
forward those of peasant proprietary.
Ultimately a resolution was adopted
condeminng the eighth. but retaining a
technical rent charge"
One of the most important amend
ments was that proposed by Michael
Davitt that the principle of the Amer
lean homestead be added to the land
bill to Safeguard the peasants from
the results of improvident borrowing
and the operation of land grabbers and
land robbers"

CLANS AS RAT-CATCHERS.
Careless Rodents Get Too Close TO
Stock Of Bivalves.

The clam in his time has played
many parts, ranging from table deli
cacy to the symbol Of contentment,
but the clam as rat-trap, says the
New York Mail and Express, is the
brand-new role successfully essayed
by two large round bivalves recently
in the New York aquarium feed room,
formerly the magazine room when the
building was Fort Clinton.
A barrel or more Of hard clans are
kept constantly In the feedrOom, as
this is the chief food Of number Of
varieties of the fishes and the inverte-
brates in the collection.
On the occasion in question the keep
ers and attendants in the building
were startled by prolonged squeaks
and scamperings, coming apparently
from among the CLAIMS. The surprise
was made complete when, ON opening
the door, they found two rats held pris-
the other with a hind foot hard and
fast between the shell of another clam.
The one with his foot fast was I'M
able to move, but the other scampered
about, the clam humping up and down
after the manner of the tin can tied to
the caudal appendage Of a dog.
So ludicrous was the situation that
the keepers were unable to do any
thing but laugh. Examination showed
that the rodents, doubtless In search
of food, had been reckless Of the par
tally opened shells of the clans and
the latter had closed, entrapping the
animals. A clam viii stay closed just

A CLEAN SWEEP
POSTAL SCANDALS ASSUME A
GRAVE ASPECT.
Personnel of Commission on Sup
plies Has Been Entirely Chang
ed---All Promotions in the Ser
vice Are Withheld Pending In
vestigatiOns.

Washington, April 21.-The post
master general has made a clean sweep
in the personnel of the commission
when annually makes the awards for
postoffiGe supplies under the division
controlled by M. A. Louis, which di-
vision is under investigation. The long
list of scandals has now been increased
by allegations against even the dead
letter office division, which is also un-
der the first assistant postmaster gen.
eral.
The comptroller of the treasury has
rendered decision which holds up all
the promotions authorized by the divi-
sion of salaries and allowances recently
under charge of Mr.. Beavers.
Senators are now paying private Wis
it's to Mr.. Machen, who is making his
fight primarily for himself and second
arily to eventually secure the removal
of all those who have charged him
with illegal acts.
Senator Aldrich has had long con-
ference with the postmaster general.
The foregoing are the results of sim
gle day in the great postoffice scandal
now in progress.
The change in the personnel of the
commission to award contracts is i'm
portant. The old commission consisted
of Chief Clerk Howell, who was for.
merly private secretary to Perry 5.
Heath l.. Kintz, who was selected from
the division controlled by Beavers, and
T. A. Graham, chief of the mail and
equipment division. ONLY the Central
La Dor Union of this city filed charges
against the conduct of the mail bag re-
pair shop here. which is under the
charge of Chief Graham.

phia, by it's agent, recently protested
against the action of the old commits.
sion in the matter of awarding certain
supplies 80 that practically the whole
commission was brought under fire,
though none Of the members are
charged with any kind of irregulality
personally.
Heretofore the custom has been in
the appointment of this commission to
have two out of three of it's members
appointed from the bureau of the first
assistant postmaster general. This has
now been changed. The new commits.
sioners are E. F. Kimball, of the mon
ey order division, under First Assistant
Postmaster General j. II. Reeve, now
superintendent OF postage stamps and
supplies in the office of the third as
sistant postmaster general, and G. A.
Meyer, a clerk in the Office of the Sec
ond assistant postmaster general.
The fight TOR and against Mr.. Machen
is getting warmer every day. 1t is IN
derstcod that there is concentration
of effort to wreak vengeance on First
Assistant Postmaster General Wynne
if the charges against Machen fail. Mr..
Machen knows that the charges were
ordered to be investigated by POstmas-
ter General Payne, but Mr.. Machen's
powerful congressional clique cannot
afford to fight Mr.. Payne, go substi-
tute has been selected for slaughter.

1t is not our business or purpose
to dabble in Republican squabb es,

does seem to us that the protest OF

precinct of the Fourth last Saturday
night is not we'll taken. The rules
Of the party make man eligible as

from g precinct in which ne lives

that q contrary rule OF the bare ex-

that all OF the men elected are bona
