The Secretary of War recently addressed
the Postmaster General regarding the use
of the official envelope by the ad1utants
general of states and territories in corre-
spondence with the War Department upon
subjects relating to the militia. The assist
ant attorney general for the Post Office De-
partment to whom the communication was
of the United States are entitled to use pen
atty envelopes on official business Of the
United States. except that officers author
lied to use such envelopes may inclose
them with return address to any person or
persons from or through whom official in
formation is desired.
IAN officer of the United States" says
the assistant attorney general. must be
appointed either by the President, by one
of the cabinet officers or by United States
court The adjutant general Of the District
of Columbia receives his appointment from
the President, and as he comes within the
definition of an officer of the United States
he is entitled to use penalty envelopes on
business of the United States. The adju-
tants general Of the states and territories
do not, however. come within the definition
above quoted and are not entitled to use
penalty envelopes for the reason that they
hold such position
The Postmaster General did not adopt
this opinion In his reply to the Secretary
of War he said: 1T is my opinion that, as
adjutants general of the states and terri
tories are required by an act of Congress
the Secretary of War the latter official can
furnish them with official envelopes ad-

MIR. BINGHAM's CHARGES.
Post Office Department officials Say
That the Records Refute Them.

Mr.. Frederick L. Bingham, a wholesale
merchant Of Philadelphia, has filed with the
acting postmaster general charges Of favor
itism against Mr.. NJ. A. w. Lewis, chief Of
the division Of postmasters' supplies, In
the matter of dealing In stationery sup
plies for the department. Mr.. Bingham
charges that the department has been
working in collision with the firm Of
Baumgarten Sons of this city in the
purchase of rubber stamps and similar ma
terials, and he claims that 1t Is impossible
for any firm to bid against the Baumgar-
tens owing to the favoritism shown by Mr.
Lewis toward them.
It Is also charged that Mr.. Lewis re-
ceived commissions on all purchases made
from Baumgarten, and that this firm was
able to obtain inside information which en-
abled it to make its bid a bit lower than
any of the others 1t is charged further
that the supplies furnished by Baumgarten
are of inferior quality and below the stand
ard set by the department for the other
bidders.
This is the first formal charge that has
been filed by an outside individual against
any Of the officials of the department.
1t is claimed by the post Office officials
that the charges can easily be refuted by
the records whenever the acting postmaster
general or any Of his assistants desires to
make an investigation Beyond this moth
ing will be said.

Bacteria as Disinfectants.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
After four years careful experimental
work the committee of the London county
council has reported favorably on the So
called bacterial method of sewage purii-
sewage is first passed through settling
tanks, where all but the finest mineral and
woody matter is removed. and then into
coke beds (from four to twelve feet thick,
through which it slowly filters. At first
these beds simply act as mechanical filters.
and the dissolved organic matter of the
sewage is not reduced. But in the course
Of week or two curious gelatinous pre-
cipitate forms on the coke bed and in its
interstices, Of bacterial origin. AS soon as
these bacteria have multiplied up to a GER
tain point so as to form a considerable
mass In the coke bed it Is found that a
large proportion of the offensive smelling
and putrescible part Of the sewage is re-
moved by Its passage through the bed so
that the how from the latter can be safely
turned Into q stream without danger of
killing the fish or rendering the water Of
fensive in smell. So far as at present de-
termined. when the sewage is properly fill
tered before its admission to the coke beds
the latter last almost indefinitely without
requiring cleaning or removal
rms treatment does not remove the bac-
terra from the sewage, but, except where
the river water Is used for drinking pur-
poses. or there are oyster beds in the neigh
borhood, the germs do no harm. The COM
system for treating London sewage, whose
direct escape into the Thames has already
dangerously fouled the lower reaches Of
the river.
