turned with Premier Seddon OF New Zea-
land dead on board, the steamers return

BARNES, POSTMASTER.
So Far He Has Been Unable to Per
feet His Bond

Six months ego today responsible for the
forcibe ejectment of Mrs Minor Morris
from the White House; appointed to be
postmaster of the District March 81 con-
flrmed by the Senate after weeks of de-
bate. Benjamin F. Barnes cannot enter
into his duties as postmaster because of
his inability. so far, to find a bondsman
for the sum of s250,OG0.
At a late hour this afternoon the city
post Office was without postmaster. Ben
jamin F. Barnes, who was appointed by
the President to that Office and was con-
firmed by the Senate after many weeks of
oratorical struggle on the part of several
senators, has been unable to find a bonds
man. For this reason the Postmaster Gen
eral is unable to sign the commission.
It has been partly admitted at the Post
Office Department that the many excuses
offered by Mr.. Barnes regarding his bonds
are not caused by mere accident, but that
there lies a cause far deeper behind the
affair.
Three persons are known to have been
asked to go on Barnes bond, but all have
declined-w neither on account of Barnes
unpopularity on account of the Mrs Nor
ris incident or from other causes is not
known. 1t was stated this afternoon at
the post Office that the bond might be per-
fected and his commission issued this even
ing, but there was certainty about it.
