II recall the case Of fine handicap

old on the southern tracks before he
changed hands, and was brought on to
New York tracks to show his mettle.
His new owner had tremendous expec-

raced at least thirty pounds below his
true form from the outset
From Manager glutton he became
poor feeder as sooon as he was
brought East, and only munehed
enough oats to keep himself from
starvation. Two or three expert vet
erinarians examined the colt and
found nothing the matter with him.
and yet he continued to NOPE and to

a hopeless. lackadaisical way which

Edison
heater

There is a splendid program at the
Edison theater this week. An en-
tirely new company is seen, and all
the acts are of comedy nature, and
laug-provoking.
Miss Edna Foley is the new Illus
trated singer, and she has already
caught the popular fancy, not only
by her charming voice, but also by
her winsome personality.
Leonard & Fulton present a refined
Irish farce that is true to nature and
one long laugh from start to finish.
The Braggs have a German comedy
sketch which is really funny and they
please the audience immensely.
The Drews offer a black face stunt
that is a pleasing illustration of plan
tation pastimes in the south before
the war They stick to the charac-
ter, and are good dancers.
The moving picture film is a story
which is an object lesson in morality.
1t is also one of the most beautiful
films ever shown in this city.
Crowds will surely visit the Edison
this week. The house is cool and is
run on respectable business methods.

EXPRESS TRAIN WRECKED.
Engineer and Fireman Killed-Three
Cars Observation-Disclosures Contents.

NEW YORK May 10.-Two men were
killed early today when the Adams express
section of the Federal express, on the New
York. New Haven and Hartford railroad
left the tracks while crossing the Byram
river bridge at Port Chester. After leav-
ing the bridge and running about forty feet
the locomotive and tender plunged down
77-foot embankment. None of the cars
went over, the breaking of the coupling be-
tween the tender and the first car saving
the whole train from being carried down
into the river. Lawrence keegan of Ded-
ham, Mass. engineer and John Howes OF
Boston, Mass, fireman, were killed. One
of the guards on the money car was slight
ly hurt. None of the other guards or train
hands was injured.
OF the six cars three were totally wreck
ed, while the trucks of the other three were
ripped out.
There was messenger on each of the six
cars and the crew consisted of the con-
ductor, engineer, fireman and two brake
men. The train was running at high rate
of speed, and one suggested possible cause
of the accident Is that the engineer may
have died at his post.
The wrecked train is that on which spe-
cial armed guards were carried several
weeks ago because of fears that an organ
lied band of trainwreckers had planned a
wreck for the purpose of robbery. Much
treasure is carried on this special, and this
fact aroused the fears of the officials of the
express company and led to the employ
ment of special guards.
On this train the cash from the govern
ment repositories in New England is usu-
ally carried to Washington. Because of
the valuable contents of the train detec-
tives and armed railroad employees sur
rounded the wreck to prevent possible at
tempts to loot the cars, but there was
nothing discovered to connect train wreck
ers with the accident.

NEW YORK POST OFFICE.
Probable Report on the Investigation
Thereof,

Postmaster General Payne, who has been
In New York in attendance on the meeting
there of the Mckinley Memorial Associa-
ton, will return to Washington tonight.
1t Is expected that he will very soon take
up the consideration of the report of As
sistant Attorney General Robb on the in
vestigation Of the New York post office
and that 1t will be sent to the President for
executive action.
This investigation has been in progress
for several months and many inspectors of
the Post Office Department have been en-
gagged in the work. 1t was generally be-
Heved that Postmaster Van Cott had been
guilty OF at least negligence in his admin
fstration of the greatest Office of the coun-
try, but from what can be gathered with
out actual access to the report II is now
thought that the burden of carelessness
will fall on the shoulders of the son of the
postmaster, who is superintendent of de-
livery of the New York Office.
Although the Postmaster General Is alb
sent from the city and Mr.. Robb could not
pected that the report will recommend
some sort of discipline for young Van
Cott and that the faith of the President In
the judgment Of Mr.. Robb is such as to
bring early action in the case. Mr.. Robb
will take up his new duties at the Depart
ment Of Justice tomorrow, fact that is
Indicative of his conclusion of the review
of the work of the post Office inspectors In
the New York office and his readiness to
place the papers in the hands Of the Post
master General.

PEANUT POLITICS"
Origin Of the Phrase as Applied to
David B. Hill.

Some of Judge Parker's friends are saying
now that Mr.. David B. Hili is running the
Parker campaign along the lines of pea
nut politics. and they are getting worried.
1t was charged at Albany that all Mr.. Hill
was interested in was to use Judge Parker's
popularity and influence to strengthen the
Hill machine in the state.
No active steps have been taken since
the Albany convention to forward the
Parker boom. Judge Parker's friends in
the south and west have been looking for
some one to come to the front and take
hold of the management Of the judges In
terests, but they haven't heard peep from
Mr. Hill.
Up at Albany during the convention some
Of the visitors and local politicians were
sitting around table at the Albany Club
and one of the visitors asked the origin of
the expression Peanut Politics. which
has clung SO tenaeiously to Mr.. David B.
Hill. One of the politicians said:
Il happened to be present when that ex-
preston was uttered. 1t came from Fred
Cook Of Rochester. goed-natured, whole-
souied German, who wae active In politics.
One night in 1886 Cook and George Spinney
of the New York Timea and were having
a midnight supper atSZellers, and we got
to talking about Hill.
De only trouble I haf with HILL, said
Cook lis dat he blays beanut politics.
Spinney took it up in the Times and the
thing seemed to fit Anyhow 1t has stuck
to Hill ever since"

ST. LOUIS POST OFFICE.
Decision of Attorney General on Sal
aries for Substations.

Assistant Attorney General Robb today
completed his Investigation into the ques-
ton of salaries paid to the sixteen substa-
tions of the St Louis post office, which,
by order of the Postmaster General, have
been discontinued.
His recommendations to the Postmaster
General are to the effect that inasmuch as
the offices were established in good faith,
although Illegally, because they were not
within the corporate limits of the city Of
st. Louis, the salaries paid should not be
charged to the postmaster at st. Louis.
These offices were established during the
regime of George w. Beavers as superin-
tendent of salaries and allowances and Of
Postmaster Baumhoff at ST. Louis. and
there was question il the payment Of the
salaries of the postmasters in charge
should not be taken from that of the st.
Louis postmaster instead of from the Post
Office Departments appropriation fund.
The decision of Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Robb settles this mooted point, and
hereafter the territory win be covered by
the rural free delivery, as already noted
in The Star.

Sir Henry expressed wish to be buried at
his country seat, Furze Hill, Pirbright,
Surrey.
The question. however is being discussed
of burying him beside Livingstone, in West
minister Abbey.
Sketch Of His Career.
Sir Henry Morton Stanley, the African
explorer, though a citizen of the United
States, was born near Denbigh, in Wales,
in 1910. His real name was John Row
lands, but his family was In poor cireum-
stances, and he came to America at the age
of fourteen. landing in New Orleans. He
assumed the name of Stanley from a south
ern merchant by that name, who became
his benefactor and who took keen inter-
est in the young Welshman during his life
time. He served in the confederate army
during the civil war, and later became
war correspondent for the New York Trib-
une, Missouri Democrat and the New York
Herald.
When Livingstone was lost in Africa he
was chosen to lead the search for the mis-
siouary explorer. His expeditions were
leading events of their time, and were of
great value in opening up the heart OF
Africa. One of these was the taking OF aid
to Livingstone in the year 1872 and another,
notable for its achievement, going to the
relief of Emin Pasha Stanley having been
summoned from America to assume charge
Of the expedition.
In 1879, under the auspices of Leopold,
King of the Belgians, he was sent to found
the Congo Free State, and was made its
governor.
In 1890, after recruiting his health In
Egypt and the south of France, he re-
turned to London and met with receptions
almost royal in their splendor and magnifi-
canoe. He was everywhere fee-sted and
feted Shortly after his return his mar
rlage to Miss Dorothy Tenant occurred in
Westminster Abbey.
He held a seat in the house of commons
for five years and received the knighthood
in 1899. In recent years he has leetured
extensively throughout the United States
and Europe
His most conspicuous works are Through
the Dark Continent" The Congo and the
Founding Of the Free State" How Found
Livingstone MY Kalula,' novel, and
'In Darkest Africa, or the Quest. Rescue
and Retreat of Emin.''

KURoPATKIN WITHDRAWING.

Russian Lines,

ST PETERSBURG, May 1O-215 p.m.-
Although II is hardly credited here (as II is
known that General Kuropatkin is with
drawing his advance posts along the Man
churlan littoral on Lao Yang) 1t is an
pounced this morning from Mukden that the
railroad between Port Arthur and Lao
Yang has been repaired and is working.
Hai-Cheng, north of Niuchwang is already
reported to have been evacuated, but there
fr nothing official on this point. The Rus
ptan garrison still remains at Niuchwang
but the abandonment of that place is only
considered to be a question of days
The trmy organ assumes that the Rus
SLAMS are retiring on Lao Yang leaving
Temporarily" the defense of Port Arthur to
the naval squadron AMI garrison.
The organ also assumes that the Japanese
have already landed at Taku- Shan, west of
the Yalu river. thus assuring a junction be-
tween General KurokPs army and the Japa-
pese forces on the peninsula The army
organ thinks the force disembarked at
Taku-Shan is probably part of the third

the Japanese have so sedulousIy spread mis-
leading reports"
1t commends the retirement from Feng-
Wang-C -Cheng, which Ii considers to be of
no strategical Importance.
Authorities Silent.
There is complete absence of official in
formation. The authorities are as silent as
the grave concerning General Kuropatkin's
plans, only declaring that his tactics will
be vindicated.
The report Of the appearance of the
enemy at Kwan-Tien-S -Sien, on the Mukden
road, from the Yalu, causes some dis
quietude. The report is three days old
Only small detachments of infantry and
cavalry then appeared, but ii is possible
