PAYNE AT LAST CONVINCED.
He Is Now Certain That the Postal Scandals
Are Not Myths.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Postmaster-ien-
eral Payne seems at last to be convinced
that there has been something radically
wrong in his Department, and in comment
ing on the arrest to-day o: A. W. Machen,
chief Of the Free Delivery Division. he
was as emphatic in declaring belief in his
guilt as he has been previously in ex-
pressing confidence in his innocence,
Now that Machen is in the tolls the official
statement is repeated over and over again
that Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gene raj
Bristow will not stop until he has gone TO the
bottom Of all charges and brought to light
others who are as guilty as Machen. But
will he do it, Many persons who have
knowledge Of the influences brought to
bear to hamper the investigation think
he will not. If Machen is guilty. and it is
the universal opinion now that he is. others
still In office and some who are not are
likewise guilty
1t il the prevailing opinion at the De-
partment that George W. Beavers, the
former Chief of the Salaries and Allowance
Division, who resigned in such suspicious
haste when the first gun in the present
investigation was freq, will be the next
man to be placed under arrest, although
there is no official indication as yet that
any evidence confirmatory of his guilt
has been discovered But Machen ana
Beavers were as thick as two peas in pod
until Wynne separated them. and Beavers
must at least have had knowledge OF
MaChen's transactions

MAY NOT Re MORGAN FORGER.
Police Not Certain That Man Arrested At
Alexandria Ii BOsdart.

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE Sun.
LONDON, May 27.-.The Identification OF
the man who was arrested at Alexandria
yesterday as the supposed Count Maurice
de Bosdari. the Italian banker who is ac-
cused of having forged the name of j. Pier
pont Morgan. turns out to have been pre-
mature. He has not yet been positively
identified as the man who is wanted by
the police. This is not the first time that
man has been arrested on suspicion
of being the former banker and purchaser
of paintings. Last week a man who
answered his description in every respect.
and who was arrested in north London.
proved to be an innocent German. The
man now under arrest answers Bosdari 4
description, but no one has as yet seen
him who knew Bosdari.
There Is conclusive evidence against
Bosdari OF having uttered forged bills Of
exchange bearing the name Of Mr.. Morgan,
but it il said that the prosecution will find
it difficult to obtain evidence that he was
the actual author Of the forgeries. While
acting as an art dealer he sold a small
article to Mr.. Morgan's representative,
which was paid for by check. the sigma
ture Of which was afterward copied. Az
payment was refused upon these documents
Mr. Morgan lost nothing.

RI sSIA WILL PROTECT THE JEWS.
The Public Condemnation OF the kishirefY
Massacres Has Had Its Erect.

WASHINGTON. May 27.-The Government
s satisfied that the action OF mass meet
ngs, Jewish and Christian organizations
and prominent men in condemning the
massacres at Kishineff has caused the
Russian imperial authorities to make every
effort TO prevent a repetition Of the out
RACES and to punish those concerned in the
previous attacks upon the Jews. That
the Russian Government is doing this in
good faith is not doubted here, unofficial
but trustworthy assurances to that effect
having been received.
Condemnatory resolutions from many
American cities are being delivered at the
State Department at the rate of about Atty
daily. This morning Senator'S Burrows
and Alger of Michigan called on Secretary
Hay and presented resolutions concern
ing the Kishineff massacre adopted by a
mass meeting of citizens in Detroit. All
such resolutions are being acknowledged
by the State Department without comment.
They will remain on Ale until President
Roosevelt returns to Washington, when
they will he presented to him for considera-
ton.

GIVES JEWS PROMISES.
Russian Minister OF Interior Meets the
KishineH Delegation.

Special Cable Despatch to THE Sun.
ST. PETERSBURG, May PIN, Won Plehve,
Minister Of the Interior, has received the
Jewish deputation from Kishineff. 1t is
stated that the members of the deputation
we're much impressed by the Minister'S
amiability and the attention with which he
listened to their complaints and requests.
The greater part of what passed at the
meeting is not div,,lged, but it is known
that the deputation urged upon the Minister
that it was necessary to show in some I'M
mistakable way disapproval Of the outrages
and the anti-Semitic agitation generally.
They also strongly objected to the tone Of
the Governments announcement in the
Official Messenger, which, contrary to all
the facts, attempted to lay responsibility
for the massacre on the Jews themselves.
The Minister replied that it was impossible
for him. as they must understand, to pub.
lish a new statement, which would seem
to be a disavowal Of what he had already
written, but he would consider other ways
of making clearer to the public the sym
pathy which the Government felt for the
sufferers.
He reminded the deputa ton that he
had dismissed the Go vernon Of Bessarabia
and the Chief OF Police, and said that more
than that they could scarcely desire.
The delegates objected that among
the local officials were men whose guilt
was even greater than that Of the Governor.
They hoped the Minister would order COM
plete change in the personnel at Kishineff.
They. moreover, strongly urged that a
curb be placed upon the anti-Semitic agita-
ton of a section Of the press, and men,
toned the Z"dmya and Bsssorabycis az
the chief sinners in this respect On this
point the Minister showed himself willing
to meet the views Of the doputaton, and
promised to take immediate action.
That the visit Of the deputation had
some effect is proted by the subsequent
official announcement that the /ndmud,
which is under the same mana cement as
the Bessafnbyet., and which Ia the most
violently anti-Semitic newspaper in ST.
Petersburg, was forbidden to he sold ex-
cept to its regular subscribers.

Origin OF the Cat.

In Arabian legends the cat is traced
back as far as Noah and the ark. 1t
is one of the animals that came off the
ark, but did not go Oh. When the 9th
er creatures entered for safety during
the time when 1.-THE doors of heaven
were to be opened and the fountains
of the deep turned loose" there was no
cat among them. Puss' origin is ac-
counted for in this way:
During the time the ark was floating
about over the tall mountains mice and
rats became an intolerable nuisance to
the people on the great vessel, and they
complained to Noah that everything
was being literally devoured by the
pesky vermin. That august parsonage
forthwith called the male lion to his
side and began to stroke his back,
whereupon the great beast sneezed
and, 10, full sized cat was blown
from his nostrils.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but An inhamed
