WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. -2S.-
Postmaster General Wynne today pre-
sented to the president a report pre-
pared by the department in response to
the resolution of Senator Dubois, of
Idaho, regarding postmasters or other
postal employees who may be living in
polygamy. The report will be trans
Initted to the senate when congress re-
conveneS next week.
The report finds that there are four
postmasters who have sustained po-
1ygamoUs relations. All these are at
small places and the relations, it is
stated, have not been continued since
the passage of the Edmunds law, the
offense having occurred prior to that
enactment. In view Of this fact it has
been determined not to take any action
in their cases.

Berlin, June 11.-"Suit dismissed
with cost to be paid by the plaintiff"
was the verdict OF the court yesterday
at Frankfort-on-the-Ma In the suit
which Kubelik, the violinist, brought
against DIR Gehrmann, the music critic
OF the Frankfurter Zeitung, for what
the violinist deemed insulting personal
tiles In criticisms of his concerts DR.
Gehrmann described Kubelik as "stu-
den) of superfine. effeminate appear
ance," and spoke OF him also as spe-
ciallst and miracle worker who pro-
duces nothing but tones.'
The proceedings turned partly upon
the meaning of the word "bloede."
which experts testified was used in
north Germany in the sense of shy"
OF "expressioniess," and the court noted
that DIR Gehrmann came from Berlin
to Frankfort. But Herr Schwarzs-
child. Kubelik's lawyer. saw In the
word proof that offensive personalities
characterizing Berlin musical criticism
were being introduced. The Frankfort
lawyer also objected to the word "spe-
cialist,' which he claimed was only
applicable to a variety performer.
LIE NTSul luduu uS1SuSS Ol luc WOl0
.sbloede" was that he only meant to
say that Kubelik riveted his eyes on
one spot when playing.
The presiding judge took a hand in
the proceedings and pointed out that
he possessed a pamphlet written
against Wagner during the great COM
poser's lifetime and designed to prove
that Wagner was crazy. Yet Wagner
never once brought suit against his
critics. The judge also claimed
that Kubelik invited criticisms
on his personal appearance by having
full length portraits of himself display
ed In shop windows as advertisements.
Experts who were called testified
that Kubelik possessed astonishing
technique, but that he aimed more at
external effects than artistic depth.
His whole program was arranged with
the view OF displaying virtuosity.
The court in explaining the reasons
for the dismissal of the suit said the
word 'specialist' was justified. since
Kubelik "cultivated the breakneck
feats OF a Paganini," adding, 1T is
now customary everywhere for crit
les to describe the personal appearance
of artists for their readers who We're
not present at the concert and Kubelik
probably would have been better sat
| fsfied II the personal description had
been more fattering."
The court also said that the express
sion ''bloede" was not insulting and
added:
IF Kubelik had crooked nose and
the critic mentioned 1t that would not
have been an insult
sgThe verdict of the court is, ther-
fore, acquittal."

TAYLOR WANTS RELEASE
Center Street f1an who Fmrnishass
Bail This Week.

Foster Taylor, OF the A r. Taylor

of 81 900 for John III. Morse's appear
ance in the superior court this mouth.
Is anxious to be relieved OF bis Re-
sponsibility. and though he has taken
some measures In that respect be has
not been successful so far. During baT
meeting In the district court this morn
ing Attorney Bronson spoke to Assist
ant States Attorney Kellogg about the
matter, but apparently he could give
him no information than what he als'
ready had. There are certain steps TO
be followed out In such matter aa
this and Mr. Taylor has been advised
to take them.
He thought that all that was neces
sary was to notify the proper authnrs
ties that he wished to be relieved OF his
responsibility, but tt turned out that he
must swear to certain things, one
among them being that he had reason
to suppose that Mr. Morse would lump
his bail. To this he would not swear
and for what reason he was not asked
yet he was still desirous Of surTendeI
ing Mr. Morse.
The matter now rests between IA
Bronson and Mr. Kellogg and 1t Is ea
pected that by Monday some avenue
Of escape will be discovered for AIx
Taylor, The matter has excited 8 good
deal of talk among the lawyers.

placed In the bull pens.S
When the men were discharged they
were advised to remain in the vicinity,
as the Portland mines would be work

force of both union and non-union men,
as heretofore.

PROPERTY ASSESSMENT.


The state board of equalization, con-
sisting Of Treasurer Henry II. Gallup,
Comptroller William q. Seeley and Tax
Commissioner Andrew b. Gates, in no.
tifying town clerks of the additions to
the grand lists for 1903, take occasion
to congratulate the towns on the great
improvement made within a few years
in the assessment of property at fair
and honest rates. The letter further
says:
THE action of the assessors of n
small number of towns that still hold
to gross undervaluations is thus
brought into unpleasant notice by so
doing. There being no state tax laid
there is little or nothing gained by adj
herring to this plan, and the loss to NOR
atty and the spirit of fair play Is great.
It is best to obey the law, and not
within fifty years has this been done
In assessments of property by the
towns AS fully as this year. In the opin-
Ion OF this board"
Waterbury didn't have any additions
DI1t on.

St Petersburg. June II els p. m.l--
The view of the general staff is that
as the Japanese column which reached
Siu-Yen was not followed by either Of
the main armies In southern Manchu-
ria, the japanese have no present in
tention OF advancing on Hai-Cheng, but
have sent forward force as feint,
to menace and discourage as much as
possible the dispatch Of heavy Rus
sian force down the Liao-Tung penln-
sula. Neither does the general staff be-
lieve that the enemy's column at Sal
matsza. even should it go SO far north
as pjiandjian, is of serious charac-
ter, the opinion being that General
Kuroki continues to dangle before Gen
eral Kuropatkin's eyes double objec-
tive. but that he is not yet strong
enough to risk a real advance. This
BELIEF is based on calculations that the
enemy has not more than 10000 men
all told in southern Manchuria and that
only in the event of the Japanese at.
tanning strength greatly in excess OF
these figures will they be capable of
genuine forward movement.
No fresh news has been received in
regard to the situation around Port
Arthur.
Private advices from Liao Yang ir-
dicate that the Russian force at Vafan-
dian Is prepared to retire northward X
