ABUSED THEIR PRIVILEGE.
Members Of Congress Kept Mailbags
for Long Periods.

The Post Office Department has discov-
cred some fragrant abuses by members of
Congress of the privilege of using the mail
sacks Of the government. These sacks, car
rying government documents Of all kinds.
are intended to be returned empty imme-
diately to the post offices, but numerous
instances have developed where they have
been detained for long periods. In one case
the authorities found that approximately
600 of these sacks were stored away in the
barn of former representative. The postal
officials refused to disc. )se the Identity OF
this person. To correct these irregularities.
Postmaster General Payne has issued an
order modifying the section of the postal
laws and regulations which bear on this
privilege so that sacks must be returned to
the post offices within three days.
The regulation is modified SO as to read
as follows: -.
"Postmas ters who may receive canvas mall
sacks containing public documents or other
official mail matter, addressed to senators
or representatives in Congress. or to the
resident agents Of any executive depart
ment at Washington, D. c.. stationed with
in the delivery of the post office. may per-
nit such sacks to be taken from the re-
ceiying post office for the purpose Of con-
yeniently emptying the same, but with the
distinct understanding that such sacks
must not be withheld from service for a
longer period than three days. All other
sacks are to be promptly disposed Of as
directed in section 1852"

IN CRITICAL CONDITION
FIREMAN BOLGER INHALED
FUMES OF NITRIC ACID.
Illness Contracted While in Perform
ance Of Duty-Physicians Hope
for Recovery.

Private J. T. Bolger of Chemical Engine
Company No. 1. District fire department. is
lying In a critical condition at Providence
Hospital as the, result, 1t Is stated, of in
haling fumes of nitric acid while in the
performance of fire duty at the Maurice
Joyce Engraving Company's establishment
yesterday morning.
The physician in charge Of the case at the
hospital Informed Chief Dutton late this
afternoon that Private Bolger is very sick
man, but that the prospects for his recovery
are more encouraging than they have been
at any time since he came to the hospital,
and that his case is not hopeless
1t appears that two employees in the en-
craving establishment about noon yester-
day were handling carboy containing
100 pounds of nitric acid, when the carboy
slipped from their grasp and was broken by
the fail. The acid spread out upon the
floor Of the esta blishment and 1t was feared
that fire would result because of the power
full corrosive action Of the acid. A call was
sent to the chemical engine company for as
sistance, and Private Bolger was detailed
to the place. He worked hard for about
two hours in preventing the further spread
OF the escaped acid, and while so engaged
he inhaled the fumes from It, Soon after
returning to quarters he became Ill.
DR.. Vale, one. Of the police and frs sur
geons was called to attend him, and found
that hs was threatened with double pneu-
monia. By direction of DR.. Vale Private
Bolger was carried to Providence Hospital.
Recent Fatal Case Recalled.
The case Of Private Bolger recalls the
death q few days ago of Chief Foley and
three or four other members of the MIL
waukee fire department as the result of
inhaling the fumes Of nitric acid at a Are
In Milwaukee last week. and illustrates the
dangers which firemen are called upon to
face In the performance of their duty.
Private Bolger Is one OF the younger
members of the District fire department., Is
very popular with his comrades, and is re-
garded as one of the best Of the local fire.
fighters. He Is receiving every care ana
attention, and 1t is the prayer of every
officer and member Of the department that
he may speedily and fully recover.

PHILIPPINE CURRENCY.
Urgent Necessity Of Legislation Re-
pardine It Shown by Gov. Taft.


garding It Shown by Gov. Taft.
Secretary Root has transmitted to the
President pro tenn. Of the Senate copy OF
a cable dispatch from the governor Of the
Philippine Islands, dated Manila, February
8, indicating the urgent necessity Of legisla-
ton regarding the Philippine currency. In
his dispatch, Governor Taft says:
Official ratio Mexican dollars to United
States currency now $2.e6 to $1.0O; tota
direct net loss to insular treasury from de-
probation silver since January 1, 1902
$1,277,941.91.
"All business suffering greatly from fuc-
tuation and depreciation insular treasury
Immense losses to merchants who have solo
on credit. Failure to furnish relief at this
session of Congress would create consterna-
ton throughout the islands added to pre-
vailing financial depression, loss animals by
rinderpest and other contagious diseases,
and resulting restitution the political situa-
ton would become more difficult
1.-THE adoption American money would en-
nance prices greatly and derange every
form Of business. Legislation making gold
peso equal one-half American dollar as unit
of value peso and subsidiary minor coinage

Of 80 cents American money for one peso
with provision for issuance silver certifi-
Gates based on deposit Of new pesos would
furnish g. currency as good as American
money and much better adapted to needs
Of the islands. The Philippine commission
ers are unanimous in these views"

IMPROVING A RESERVATION.
Response to Request Made by Mount
Pleasant Citizens.

The Commissioners have received a COM
munication from A. H. Chatfield chairman
Of the committee on parks and reservations
Of the Mount Pleasant Citizens Associa-
ton, requesting the improvement OF the
reservation at the intersection Of Park.
Grant and 10th streets; and also that the
tree be reset at the north side Of Howard
avenue between 10th and 18th streets north
west Superintendent Lanham Of the park
ing commission reports that the. triangular
reservation has fine young elms on the
Grant and 18th street sides and Norway
NAPLES on the 10th street side. all Of which
in few years will give sufficient shade.
The grass on the place is moved yearly
and kept in good condition generally. The
placing of walks as requested seems to be
unnecessary In 80 small space, Mr.. Lam
ham says, and If laid would detract rather
than add to its beauty. Flowers and shrub
berry would be an adornment. but as the ap-
preparations for the parking commissions
use have been too limited to permit Of
this treatment in former and more urgent
cases, the improvements asked, Mr.. Lam
ham says, cannot be granted. The tree
asked for on Howard avenue should be
planted, and he recommends that this be
done when practicable.
The estimated cost for laying cement side
walks and resetting the curb on the west
side Of old 18th street between Grant and
18th streets, chargeable to the appropriation
for sidewalks and curbs, is as follows: One
hundred and ninety square yards, $237.
and 800 feet of curb, $50.
Captain Newcomer, assistant to the En-
gineer Commissioner, approves the planting
Of the tree and the construction of a cement
sidewalk on the eastern side Of the reserva-
ton, at the cost Of $500. 1t is believed
this walk is needed as 1t is at point where
the cars stand to receive passengers at the
end of the new extension of the street rail-
way line, and as the roadway Is to be
macadamized an improved walk should be
provided for pedestrians.
