STILL COMING.
POSTAL INVESTIGATION.
OUerhauling of Salaries and -4tfosc-
ances Bureau Begun.
fay rrJreRapH TO THE TRIBUNE ]

washington. April 16.-So numerous and in
many instances pueriie are the charges daiy
received at the Rostofice Department that the
Postmaster General is making no attempt TO
keep track of them. and they go direct TO the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General MI.
Payne said this evening that he knew of no ne"
charges or developments. but II was learned
from other sources that number Of such
charges had been fled
The Postmaster General further said that the
charges against Mr. Rand had not yet received
attention. but would he thoroughly investigated
when the proper time came. The charges
against Superintendent Machen. which involved
the coal contract let last winter, had, MT
Payne said been finally disposed of before ne
went to Porto Rico. and so far as he knew
had not been resuscitated II IS alleged that
Mr. Machen's vindication on charges which
found their wey into print in connection with
the coal contract is recetving fresh publicity at
this tirae with view belittlins the gravity OF
more recent allegations affecting other matters.
The actual overhauling of the work of the
Bureau OF Salaries and Allowances began to-
,dey. when Inspector Waters started an active
examination of the affairs of the bureau, of
which he was put in charge Immediately after
the retirement of George ". Beavers. All the
contracts. leases. etc, not made on the recon-
raendations of postmasters, will be carefully
considered. Postmaster General Payne had
several conferences with his assistants to-day,
in which a number of the different lines Of in
'vestigation were discussed.
Abner Mckinley was caller at the Postofice
Department today, and after spending some
ttiue with Superintendent Machen had
tended conference with he Postmaster General
Later in the day Secretary Shaw called TO pay
his respects TO the Postmaster General whom
he had not seen since the latter's return from
Porto Rico The political and financial situation
formed the chief topic OF their conversation.
After discussing the Northern Securities de-
oision. in which. from his knowledge Of the
Northwest and the railways involved, Mr.. Payne
is much interested, the effect Of the decision in
Wall Street was taken UP. and, referring to the
possibility Of financial stringency, Secretary
Shaw told the Postmaster General that practi-
cally S3oo00o00 Of bonds had been offered in
exchange for the 2's under the refunding scheme.
Mr.. Payne congratulated the Secretary the
success Of his efforts After Secretary Shaw
left the Postmaster General both officials
pressed qualification over the political and f1nan-
ciel situation.

CHURCH DIMMED
FOR SHABBY FOLK
Novel Experiment in Public
Worship Proves a
Success.

LONDON, Jan. 29.-The holding Of
religious services in absolute darkness,
which was begun this week in London,
has proved very successful, the expert
ment having justified the belief of the
Rev. c. ]. Parker, vicar of ST. James,
in Clerkenwell, that poor people would
come to church If their neighbors could
not see their shabby clothes.
His congregation numbered quite ZOO
1t was composed chiefly of women and
girls. They were the wives and daugh-
tiers of small shopkeepers and poor
working folk in the parish. They came
from the maze of dimly lighted, dreary
street surrounding what is still cheer
fully called Clerkenwell Green. A white
sheet was hung across the eastern end
of the church. Only two electric lights
at the door glowed in the darkness.
AT $50 o'clock the vicar, carrying
his violin, headed from the vestry
procession of young men and women
with stringed instruments. They took
chairs in the chancel. The curate in the
gallery worked the limelight machine
and threw the music of the voluntary
on the screen. The vicar then struck
up and the organ chimed. The hymns,
their tunes, the Magnifcat, the Nunc
Dimittis, the prayers and responses
were all thrown upon the screen. The
congregation, instead of. porting over
badly printed books, stood straight up
and caroled their best. Colored pic

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Nine-year-

soundly thrashed by order of Police
Recorder LYMAN Lazarus, of BayonRe,
N. j., yesterday morning In the detec-

The Devery youngster was arrested
with twelve-yea old Peter Squires for
ill-treating a small girl named Hum

they had not had in many day. while

GETS NEW CONNECTION.
New Road in British Columbia Will
Assist Great Northern.

Negotiations, which have been pend
ing for the past two years for the con-
struction Of the Victoria, Vancouver &
Eastern railway, have now been ter
minated, and it is stated that within
thirty days actual work will be COM
menced at both ends of the line
The Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern
is to be standard gauge railway
from Grand Forks, B. c., to Vancouver.
where 1t connects by car ferry with
the Victoria & Sydney railway. now in
operation. The distance to be covered
Is little under 700 miles; Of which the
greater portion is of easy grade, but
difficulty has been experienced in con-
Vlnclng railway men that a feasible
route could be found over the Hope
mountains. This difficulty was solved
last year by the British Columbia
government sending out a survey party
which reported route with a lesser
grade than the mountain sections of
the Canadian Pacific, and this survey
has been confirmed by another report
made by surveyors acting for the
owners of the charter.
The Importance of the line is that it
will give the rich boundary mining
country active railway competition,
opening up also the Okanagan and ST.
milkameen valleys, both the best of
the. farming lands in British Column
bla, but hitherto undeveloped for want
OF direct railways. The new route will
enable the road to carry the whole of
the RoSsland and Nelson mining dis
tricts travel, now going by the cir
cu1touS Canadian Pacific via the Koo-
tenay lakes and ReVelStoke.
The charter for the road was grant
ed originally to a British Columbia
syndicate, whose interests were recent
ly acquired by Capt. S. F. Mackenzie
and James Anderson, who were under
stood to be acting for Mackenzie e.
Mann, of the Canadian Northern. The
road is subsidized by the British Co.
lumbia government to the sum of
$4,000 mile for the mountain section.
and $4,000 mile for the remainder. 1t
Will also probably have the usual Do
mnion government subsidy of So 200 a
mile. 1t is estimated the mountain
section will cost something in the
nelghborhood of $4,000 mile, but the
sections at each end may be built with
out any subsidy at all.
The Great Northern railway. with
which it is proposed to make the con-
nectfon, has now a branch tapping the
boundary country at Republic, Wash.
and Grand Forks, B. c., and will be
enabled to compete with the Canadian
Pacific in its own territory The ulti-
mate result may be to compel the Can
adam Pacific to extend the present
Crows Nest branch through to Hone.

1t appears that there is now a pros

tween the committees representing the
trainmen ard conductors and the off,
Gals of the railroads west of the Mis-
sissippi. One of the committeeman in
st. Paul yesterday ventured to state
that he expected something to mate
rialize within three or four days.
Though nothing is being done in st.
Paul among the committees stationed
here, the situation at St. Louis is rap
idly approaching a head. AS soon as
some definite results are secured at st.
Louis the local committee chairmen will
Immediately call in their committeeman
from their homes to which they have
returned temporarily, and will resume
negotiations with the officials of their
respective roads according to instruc-
lions from their head officers.
Keep in Close Tuoch.
All the committees on all the lines
are kept in close touch and each COM
mittee is kept informed of the progress
made by each other, so that concerted
action may be taken at all stages of
the proceedings. There have been some
marked developments at ST. Louis re-
Gently.
The polling of the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas was finished last Monday and
the result was a unanimous vote to
maintain strike if no satisfactory set.

The officials of the st. Louis roads
who were requested to return an an
swer to the men last Monday as to
whether they would grant a 20 per
cent increase asked for additional time
to consider the proposition. They were
tEen notified that the Katy" had voted
to maintain a strike If no settlement
was reached, and the officials gave the
committees to understand that they
would increase the last offer they had
made up to that time. No later news
has as yet been received.
