R. VAN C0TT UNAFFECTED
Satisfactory Solution Of City Post
office Difficulty Reached.
TFRou THE TRIBUNE BUREAU.l

Washington Aug "a satisfactory readjust-
rnent of the Office in the New-York City Post
office has been reached, by which the necessity
OF interfering with Richard Van Cott and
Charles D. White has been avoided. An in
spector detailed to make a special report on the
situation in the New-York Office reported that
there was ample work to require the services
OF both men, and suggested that the illegality
of Mr. Whites place as assistant superintendent
of free delivery could be obviated by assigning
TO him such duties in connection with the
finances of the offices as would warrant his
designation as an assistant cashier, thus per-
nitting Mr. Van Cott to retain his place as
superintendent Of delivery. This suggestion
having been approved by the officials in Wash
ington was adopted. and hereafter White win
be known as an assistant cashier 1t is probable,
however. that such representations regarding
the necessity Of an assistant superintendent in
the New-York Office will be made to Congress
at the coming session as viii result in the au-
thorization of such Office. Mr.. Whites sal
ary viii remain as before S2,40O a year.
A statement made to-day by Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow refutes the asser-
tion made in some quarters that Postmaster
General Payne and Mr.. Bristow had in view the
material curtailnent Of the rural free delivery
service. By this statement IT is shown that in
July. the first month of the fiscal year, 2,455
rural free delivery routes were established, as
against total Of . 6G4 for the entire fiscal year
which ended June 80. It also said that the
current appropriation is sufficient TO enable the
department to establish 1000 additional routes
fn the remainder of the fiscal year.
The District of Columbia grand jury is still
engaged with Postoffce Department cases, and
several reasonably important indictments are
expected before il adjourns for the summer
There has "A N unusual activity in the legal
division Of the department in the last few days,
and important developments are expected soon.
The heat and humidity Of the summer in Wash
ington are again telling on the health of Post
master General Payne, who left his office last
night feeling far from we'll He was obliged to
remain away from the department this after
