The jury in the Linkous murder case

Bristow Resigns.

Joseph L. Bristow, fourth assistant
postmaster general, yesterday rendered
to the President his resignation as an
officer of the postal service, to take eff
feet on the 10th inst By an execu tive
order issed late yesterday President

coast Of South America and the east
coast of the United States and Europe,
to determine the best Motley Of manag

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate yesterday passed the leg
islalive, executive, and Judicial appro-
priation bill, and also number of pri-
vate pension bills. Much of the time
of the session was devoted 10 discus.
sion of the proper policy to be pursued
in granting pensions for service in the
Indian police, and 10 allowing gratuities
for injuries received by workmen while
in the employ of the government.
Further consideration was given 10
the House to the impeachment charges
against Judge Charles Swayne, of the
Northern district of Florida. Mr.. Lit
tlefeld, of Maine, claimed that there
had been "no hunting or bounding" of
Judge Swayne until, as a result Of the
0'Neal contempt case, O'Neal sought
to get bis revenge on Judge SwayDe,
and charged that since O'Neal died his
friends we're to an extent carrying on
the prosecution. Messrs. Powers Of
Massachusetts, Perkins Of New York,
aud Parker of New Jersey, also spoke,
the two first named for and the last
named against impeachment.

SATURDAY EVENING. JAN. IA, 1906

BECAUSE Of friction between himself
and Postmaster General Wynne, Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow.
the man who conducted the Postofbce
Deparment investigation, resigned his
commission yesterday. Bristow was i'm
medistely designated by the President as
q special commissioner to investigate
commercial questions in connection with
the Panama canal and to look into the
MANAGEMENT OF the Panama Railroad.
The latter Office was virtually created tor
lin, and apparently upon short notice,
lint the President had no intention o.
losing the services Of BristOw. He is to
be paid out OF the appropriation for the
canal commission and will draw $i5 a
day and expenses. When Wynne was
First Assistant Postmaster General and
demanded an investigation of the Post
Office Department. feeling between him
self and Bristow was caused by the lat
ter's reIuc'auce to proceed with gen
ar,l investigation unless directed to do
en- bv the President. The latter finally
ordered an investigation and since that
time the two men have been at odds.
