The System Does Not Work Well in
Postal Service.

Washington, Aug. 2s-Fining of en-
ployes as means of enforcing disci-
pine in the postal service. a system
that has been in operation for many
years, is to be abolished. First Assistant
Postmaster General Hitchcock, who
has jurisdiction over all postofice en-
pIoyes, after a years observation of
this means of discipline, has reached the
conclusion that it is detrimental rather
than helpful. He proposes to establish
in its place a uniform system of eff
cheney records which viii be put into
operation as soon as perfected.
Under Mr. Hichcock's new plan which
will be used as a basis for all increases
and reduction in salary employees viii
be given to understand that when they
become generally careless or inefficient,
a reduction in salary will follow. The
periodical promotions that are made at
the beginning Of each fiscal year viii
go only to employees who merit advance
ment on their efficiency records.

HE'S TIRED OF HER.
NIrs. May Harmon Accordingly Asks
for Divorce From Husband.

The story told in the petition of May
Harmon, filed in the district clerks Of
fee this morning, who wants a divorce
from her husband, F. B. Harmon,
states that her husband refused to talk
to her in the presence of other people
and that he in other ways tried to hu-
initiate her. He also refused to ac-
company her to places of amusement
and as for making calls, that was out
of the question.
His conduct was such, she claims, that
their friends commented on his appar-
ent Indifference and neglect and that
the matter was gossiped about the
neighborhOod and was common talk.
Then again at times he would lose his
temper and become sullen and show
her no considera ton of any kind and at
these times he would refuse to answer
questions asked of him. These condi-
tions have existed through the five years
of their marriage relations and COM
menced within a few months after they
became man and wife and later aloIg
in their matrimonial career she alleges
that he struck her and pushed her away
from him with his hands and mistreated
her IN other ways.
The plaintiff feels that her husband
has grown tired OF her, lost his love
for her and has wearied of the mar
riage relation and she is anxious that
he be released from the bonds whirh
bind them and that their marriaxs be
declared a mistake and held for naugat

EVEN THE COSSACKS.
NFutinous Sentiment Appears Among
the Cars Chosen.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 23.-The Assoef-
ated Press learns by mail that the
strietest censorship is now exercised
over press dispa tches in the Caucasus
to conceal the true state of affairs, both
regarding the true inwardness of the
Tartar-Armenian warfare and the fer
mentatiOn among the Russian troops in
the garrisoned towns of trans-Caucasia.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press has not been permitted to tele-
graph many items of news and in other
cases the censor would only accept his
dispatches when supported by the Off
ciaI version of the affairs they report
The Armentan-Tartar situation is worse
than is known to the outside world. Al
most all the Russian military units are
disaHected and even the COssacks are
rebelling against doing police duty. The
latest mutiny is that of the Poltav Cos
sacks who several days ago at Tihis
formally demanded to be relieved from
police duty and asked for the discharge
of those who had served over three
years. The entire regiment was disarm-
ed and confined in their barracks under
guard. Another version of the Dash
lagar affair in which a number Of Of
ficers were killed Is to the effect tha-
the sailors of the Black Sea fleet i'm
plicated in the Kniaz Potemkin mutIny
who were attached to a disciplinary
battalion at the village of Kusar on the
Caspian sea, near Dashlagar had bean
in communication with the Samar re gil
ment which constituted the gar ison of
