Congressman Mudd, OF Maryland
was up sgainst one OF Postmaster Cen
eIal Cortelyoa's new orders a few DAYS
ago when he called at the departinel I
and asked TO see the papers oar file In
the matter of the Clinton Prince
Georges county Postoffice. The treat
ment accorded him under the new poll
ley was resented vigorously by Mr..
Mudd, who minced no words la tell
ing First Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al Hitchcock what he thought OF the
procedure
Mr.. Mudd went To the clerk in
charge of the division in which the
Mary land fourth-clsss postoflice cases
were flied and asked politely for the
Clinton ease.
"Very sorry" said the clerk, but
there is an order against it and mus,
refer you to Mr.. Hiiehcock.
Mr.. Mudd then went TO the office OF
First Assistant Postmaster-G General
Hitchcock. Mr. iiichcock WAS talk.
ing with Representative Gaines, OF
West Virginia close personal fri I'd.
Not desiring to wait at the department
Mr.. Mudd asked Mr.. Hitchcock, in
the presence of Mr.. Gaines, for permits.
sion TO see the desired papers. Mr..
Hitchcock referred MIR. Muddto DR.
Grandlield. The latter said he was
| sorry he could not accommodate Mr.
Mudd, because ii would he CONTRARY tc
orders. He referred the Marylandel
back to Mr.. Hitchcock.
The Maryland Congressman decided
to see Mr.. Hitchcock and tell him his
sentiments. He politely but firmly
told Mr.. Hitchcock that the order
adopted by the department was ex-
tremely Objectionable.
He told Mr.. Hitchcock incidentally
that the orders Of the department were
making the reelection of Republi-
can House more and more difficult
daily, and declared that, instead OF
meeting TO organize Republican
campaign committee, the members of
the majority Of the House ought to
meet and resolve TO disband.
Before Mr.. Mudd left the p ostoffice
Department, after having made for
NAL "demand' for the papers, Mr..
Hitchcock decided to permit the Con-
gresham to see them, but under such
circumstances Mr.. Mudd declined to
look at the papers.
The contention of Mr.. Mudd and
other Congressman is that members
have the right Of free access to these
papers If they are to be consulted re
speeding the appointments to be made
by the department.

A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.

Mr.. William Il. Light met with a Sc
rious accident last Saturday morning
which resulted in the fracture of both
bones of his right leg below the knee.
He was using his traction engine, to
furnish power for the stone crusher,
which Mr.. John r. Morrison was US
ing to crush stone for the road, be-
tween Hainesville and Bedington, and
was assisting in getting the teams, en-
gagged in hauling stones, to stop at the
right spot. He attempted to draw a
side rubber on one Of The wagons, and
slipped under the running gear, and
was caught between the rubber bar and
"a fence post, in which position the
bones Of his leg were twisted In two.
DR.. A. J. Lemaster, Of Bedlngton
was summoned and rendered surgical
aid, setting the bones, and placing the
limb in splints, He was then brought
to his home, on West Burke street, and
made as comfortable as possible. DIR.
Oates WAS called in and examined the
injury. He pronounced the treatment
of DIR. Lem aster as perfectly proper
and Mr.. Light is resting as comforta
bly, as could be expected. 1t viii take
some time for the bones to unite, as
William is not as young as he once
was. We hope our friends recovery
will be as rapid as the nature Of lie
case will admit.

BArTLEsHIp A sMuaaLER.

The San Francisco Evening Post re-
aently publis he'd report to the effect
that strong belief pervails that dutia-
BILE goods valued at about $3.50, 900
were smuggled ashore in launches
from the battleship Oregon just befo re
she departed for the Bremerton nav
yard.
. 1t says that an order had been issued
in structing the inspectors at Bremen
ton to delay every man Of the battle
ship until the whole matter has been
sifted to the bottom, and the Gust s
authorities throughout the country
have been notified to find and examine
the questionable packages, II possible.
The battleship was scheduled to get
away for Bremerton on Saturday
morning, but WAS delayed on account
of not having received sailing orders.
"At noon, however," says the Post,
"a telegram WAS received from the
War Department stating that officers
and men must have their baggage
ready for inspection by the customs
officers when the Oregon reaches Brem-
erton. This notice was posted in the
mess room, and the news flashed over
the ship like lightning. 1t was then,
according to those who watched the
whole scene, that the goods were hur-
ried ashore"
The Post then says the records OF
the Wells-Fargo Company show that
they gave receipts on 1880 packages
taken from the Oregon. The Sante Fe
Railway gave shipping bills for 1900
trunks and cases, many Of which
weighed several hundred pounds.
! Acting Inspector Of Customs Ham,
iiton, when asked regarding the mat
ter said the statement regarding the
alleged sr- uggling had been conveyed
to the custome officials, who had at
once proceeded to verify the report,
sending out the orders referred TO and
making an investigation here, but AZ
yet nothing definite has been estab-
lished.

Justice H. s. Thompson has moved
from his old quarters, in the End story
of the Little building, and has gone in
II the ground floor in the building
next the Evening World. He is now
most comfortably fixed both for dis
pensing justice and writing insurance
on all descriptions of property.
Using the Argument that "no hon
est man can become millionaire" the
town of Darieu, Connecticut, declined
an offer of $4,000 from Andrew Car
negie for public library. The mat
ter was brought before town meet
ing, and after lengthy discussion and
two tie votes, motion to accept the
donation was voted down.

MARRYING THE COLONIES.

The great liberal majority, whatever
its origin, was not elected to pursue an
anti-colonial policy. Had the nation
imagined that the intention Of the pres
ent government, or at least of a major
ity in the cabinet. was TO do their ut
most TO hand back the Transvaal TO the
Beers, by a use of the royal preroga-
tive and a disregard OF parliamentary
discussion, they would never have seen
