BLOW AT BRlSTOW.
Inspectors Removed From His Ju-
risdiction.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Postmaster
General WyRne has issued an order
transferring the entire corps of post
office inspectors from the jurisdiction
of the fourth assistant postmaster gen
eraI and placing them immediately un-
der the postmaster general. The ac-
ton is taken on the ground of sub
serving the best interests of the gov
eminent and also as based on the fact
that the inspectors of the other execu-
tive departments Of the government
are directly under the head of the de-
partment. The order is effective next
Monday. 1t affects over 200 men scat
tered throughout the country who ever
since the creation of the office of fourth
assistant postmaster general have been
under the complete direction and con-
troll of that Office. The order is one of
the most important issued by the post
Office department for a long period and
may create significant developments.

to the transfer, has given definite ex-
