M'KINLEY'S NAME DRAWN IN
TULLOCK,S POSTAL CHARGES
 SUSTAINED BY PAYNE.
POstmastsr Generals Report of Bris- tow's InvestigatiOns-says in His sUmmaryI "Fhc Charge of Mr. TuiIOck is in Its Essence Against President Mckinley and Postmaster General smith,"

Washington, June 17-Postmaster- General Payne to-day made public the reply of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow to the charges of Sey- mour ". Tulloch, former cashier of the Washington city postoffice, regarding the Irregularities in the postal admins tration, and also reports of inspection and investigation of the Washington postoffice by inspectors between June 30, 1899, and July 31, 1900. together with the transcript of the Tulloch charges made some years ago and the conclu- sions thereon then reached by Post master-General Charles Emory Smith.
 These papers constitute by far the most significant documents yet made public as result of the sweeping pos tai investigation. The reports show the existence of mass of irregularities , during the period involved. The inspec- tor who investigated the irregularities reports that the files of the postoffice cashier show direct orders from superb or authority for the disbursement of all the questionable items cited. The in- spector urged that the responsibility for the many illegal appointments, the payment of two salaries to one and the same person and the disbursement of thousands of dollars for which practi- cally no service was performed should be placed where it properly belongs and the many abuses corrected"
 In summary of the several reports the postmaster-general says: 1.-The .otaa of NT,~ T,,I ;o in itc against President Mckinley and Post master-General Smith. President Me Ixinley is no longer living; Postmaster General Smith, who carried out Presi- dent McKinley's policy, has answered for himself. With regard to the pres ent management of the Washington postoffice and the conduct of any and all men charged with wrong-doing who have been in the postal service under the present administration, thorough and searching investigation is now be- ing made and when it is ended all the facts in the case will be made public, as also whatever action may be taken in view of such facts,' .r4I
 The postnaster-ge also says: Tt will be seen that the whole subject was taken up by Postmaster-G General Smith and investigated by him. At the same time all matters referred to in the charges affecting the payment of bills, accounts and financial dealings general 1y were under investigation by the comptroller of the treasury, and all the expenditures referred to were allowed by the auditor and comptroller, with the exception of $160."

Verdict Greeted by a Tumult of Ap-
 pIauss and the Court is Instantly
 CIeared-Jury First Reported a DIs-
 agreement but Were Sent Back-Efght
 Men Set at Liberty.
 Waterbury, Conn.,, June 1.-The most remarkable trial in the history of Wa terbury was brought to a close at 1920 o'clock tonight by the acquittal of the eight trolley strikers charged with as- sault with intent to murder Conductor William Merna and Motorman George Morrissette on the WatervilIe line on the evening of February 26. The yer dict WAS greeted by a tumult Of ap- plause and cheers and the court room was instantly cleared before the yer diets for any but Winnegar were read. Outside a crowd os several hundred took up the cheer and echoed and re- echoed it up and down the street. The city presented the liveliest appearance that it has had since the night of the riot.
 The verdict was arrived at only after nearly six hours of deliberation by the jury. It retired at $40 9. m. and at GAO returned to the court room and an- nounced that no verdict had been agreed upon. The jurors were sent back by Judge Thayer with instructions to consider the case further. The instruc- ton was brief but the court gave the jury to understand that he expected a verdict.
 It is understood that the first ballot stood g to for acquittal, and that this vote continued till the break occurred and the solid vote for acquittal was cast.
 The incidents of the day will never be forgotten by those who witnessed them. There was an air of suppressed excite ment throughout and the fearful ar raignment of the accused by State At torney William H. Williams of Derby added to the dramatic features of the day This followed the closing argu- ment made by Attorney c. A. Hamilton.
 During the lon& and tiresome inter- vals while the jury was deliberating and especially when the disagreement was reported the accused and their attor- neys wore expressions of confidence. It was not till the decisive words left the lips os Foreman Charles s. Gillette of Cheshire, however, that the intense strain was relieved. William Vande- mark, who has been in ill-health during the trial, bore up we'll under the ordeal, but was almost haggard in appearance. Mrs. Clifford Vandemark was almost prostrated when the jury entered the court room. She broke down complete ly when the verdict was read.
 The names Of the men set at liberty are: Edward B. Vinegar. Clifford and Willis Vandemark, David c. Marsh, Harry w Warren. John J. McGuire, Charles T. Cross, and John Brearton. Brearton is a son of Police Officer John Brearton. The trial began Tuesday, June ?.

FATE OF IRISH LAND BILL.
stiII In the BaIance- One Concession of
 the NaIt0naIIsts.

London, June 1.-The fate of the Irish land bill still hangs in the bal ance. In to-day's debate in the House of Commons on the bill Chief Irish Secretary Wyndham accepted one amendment, making rather important concession 10 the Nationalists, and as the Irishmen refused to support the op- position in an attempt to get an aimme- diate discussion on the preferential question and also abstained from vot- ing in the division on Sir Henry Camp bell-Bannerman's motion. it is sup posed that they are still hoping for a compromise. It is asserted, however. in well-informed quarters that the gov ernment is prepared to drop the bill rather than yield on the question of a minimum purchase price and that MT. Chamberlain strongly supports this course.

New York, June 1.-Two minutes af- ter she had crossed the starting line for thirty mile race with the Columbia and Constitution over the Larchmont Yacht clubs course in Long Island sound to-day the Reliance's topmast snapped off under the pressure of her big club topsail and balloon jib topsail. The tangled mass of sails, spars and rigging fell to leeward and hung part ly suspended by the torn club topsail and it's bolt ropes. and with only ten feet of a ragged stump of her topmast standing about the most head she with drew from the race a cripple. The accident occurred in seven or eight know breeze. and as none of the standing rigging or spreader broke it may have been due to failure properly to set up the preventer backstay. c. Oliver Iselin, managing owner, said he did not know what had caused the spar to give way. but was certain the Reli- ance would said in the next race Friday. She was lowed to New Rochelle. It was her first serious accident.
 The Constitution and Columbia con- tinued tha race and the Constitution outsailed the former cup. defender by nine minutes forty-six seconds, elapsed time, and won the cup offered by Com modore F. T. Adams of the Larchmont club. The course was a triangle hav- ing two legs of six miles each and one of three miles.
 MT. Morgan for the first time took a hand in the jockeying and sent the Co., lumbia over the starting line the only boat not handicapped. The first leg was series of baffiing, shifting winds and twice got the lead and twice lost it. When the wind came true about eight knots from the south they were on fairly even terms and miles off their course.
 The Constitution then quickly took the lead and added to it steadily on every leg and on every point of sailing. run ming. reaching and in windward work, For an hour and 8 half they reeled off the miles in quick time and ono in pass ing Glen Cove caught a smart puff and lay over to it prett!ly, but the finish was in 9 softening wind.

Gales Ferry, June 1.-The Harvard varsity eight went over the four mile course early this evening under condi- tions which were not altogether in fa- vor of theoarsmen. There was a good ebb tide but strong wind blew up stream and the water was rough.
 The stroke fors the first three miles ranged between thirty and thirty-one but on the last mile it was run up to thirty-five and the crew made a good finish. The time for the four miles was 2 minutes 5S seconds. Coach Higgin- son said that the work was satisfactory and he considered that the crew show ed the best form of the year. The men padded back about a mile before being taken aboard the launch. Yale's time yesterday under favorable condi- tions was 1853. -s.+.
 The freshman eight was out early in the afternoon and was coached by MT. Perkins The rowing was not satisfac- tory. The freshman four cared crew is practicing every day and hopes to get a race with similar crew from Yale.
