this morning.
Mrs Thompson. who was on her way to
visit her distant relative and friend. Mrs.
Sara p. Scull. at the latter's country home
In Overlook, a suburb Of Philadelphia, was
SO upset by the terrors of an unusually
rough voyage that the immigrant officials
found yesterday that her mind had been az
fected. They decided that as she was an
alien she must be deported forthwith.
Mrs Scull pleaded in vain for her friends
release. offering to give bond in any
amount the government should require that
Mrs. Thompson would not become public
charge. Commissioner Watchorn expressed
his sympathy. but said the law was infiex-
fble. Meanwhile Mrs. Scull had sent for
her son, Marshall Scull, and he came to
New York with a lawyer and obtained the
services Of the alienist. DR.. c. L. Dana
Reported Of Sound Mind.
Dr. Dana examined Mrs. Thompson
aboard the Minneapolis and decided that
she was of sound mind. Armed with DR..
Dana's opinion Mrs. Thompsons nephew,
Mr.. Bussel, went to Washington and in
terested Secretary Metcalf Of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor.
After a telephone conversation with Mr.,
Dana yesterday afternoon Secretary Met
calf telegraphed to Ellis Island granting
Mrs. Thompson stay of one week. which.
he said. was the best he could do under the
law.
Mrs Thompson was then taken from the
steamer to the home of her nephew. She
will be examined again by the authorities
next week.
DIR. Dana said last night that Mrs.
Thompson was suffering from acute confu-
sional psychosis. brought on by the severe
strain of unusually rough and terrifying
voyage.

The Bank Statement.

The bank statement for the first week in
the year is historically inaccurate in this
respect, and the second weeks statement
usually shows very large gains IN cash and
reserves.
The rapidity with which the money situa-
ton improves at this season makes 1t i'm
possible for bank statement compiled on
avera ges for a week to keep pace with 1t
For example. the sub treasury lost more
than 81 .soo eco to the banks yesterday and
was a debtor at the clearing house this
morning for more than S1000,oG0, but this
mornings bank statement in no way re-
fieCted these items.

prices abroad were steady. Trading here
for foreign account was on both SIDES OF

WASHINGTON LETTER
[special Correspondence.l

Especial Correspondence
The proposed heroic statue Of Cen
eral Ulysses S. Grant probably will not
be located on the Union station plaza.
This much is indicated by the action
Of the District commissioners, who in
formed Colonel Bromwell for the bene-
fit Of the Grant monument commission
that they are not in favor Of locating
the Grant monument opposite the great
railway terminal
Their report is based on a statement
by the architects Of the Union station,
the gist of which is:
That the proposed monument is rec
tangular in shape and is about 20 feet
wide and 200 feet long. It consists Of
three principal motives, the central fig
ure Of Grant and two flanking groups
of artillery and cavalry, each Of the
two groups being about hundred feet
distant from the central figure.
The station plaza is semicircular in
shape, and it's contour Is determined
within narrow limits by the angles Of
existing streets. The plan Of the plaza
contains three centerS or focal points,
each Of which is on the center line Of
two streets entering the plaza, and the
original scheme Of treatment Of the
plaza called for three fountains, whose
location at the three focal points would
place a glistening dome Of water in the
vista of all principal streets approach
ing the station, constituting an effect Of
exceeding beauty.
Confusion of Eject.
The three focal points, which are part
Of the street system and cannot be
changed. are not in a straight line, the
center one being farther out from the

Canal Edition the public is already in
formed, and Postmaster Northup's let
ter ADDS nothing to the general fund Of
information on that subject. 1t may
be proper to state, however, that The
journal itself lost nothing by the post
masters decision. as the public, not
the paper, paid the extra postage
which his ruling made necessary.
But the strangest feature of the
postmaster's letter is found in the
paragraph referring to the additional
mail service on the Mobile train. It
( is true that this additional service
was put on, as the postmaster says,
at the request of The Journals circu-
lation manager, Mr.. Sweet. A live
postmaster would have secured the
service without having to wait for the
request from a newspaper. Postmaster
Northup, however. not only had to be
requested to do it. but now he trys to
make it appear that his action was in
the nature Of a personal favor and not
for the benefit of the public which is
served by that additional mail. He is
paid to serve the public and not for
personal favOrs to a lew particular
friends or papers. But now, as Post.
master NOrthup admits it himself. the
people who are served by that early
mail will no doubt be glad to know
that they are indebted to The Journal
for it.
We regret that it has been neces
sary to 60 into these details, because
they are anything but complimentary
to Postmaster NOrthup's administra-
ton and they will more than ever con.
vince an already convinced public that
he is unfit for the position, but he
brought the publicity upon himself
and has only himself to blame for it.
The Journal will say, however, that
il has nothing personal against Post
master NOrthup. 1t would like to see
him prosper in every way. It would

The journal does not hesitate to sag
that as postmaster he is a failure, |
that he has not given satisfaction, and
that the public does not want him re-
appointed to the position.
The Journal is pleased further to |
say that if Postmaster NorthBp really

nature and we therefore dismiss that
element Of the case and get down to
the real milk in the cocoanut.
The truth Of the matter is that pub
lie dissatisfaction with his admins
tratiOn is general, and Postmaster
NOrthup knows it, but he assumes that
if he can show a personal animus on
the part Of The Journal It Will neu-
tralize the effect of the papers posi-
ton in the case. The Journal frank
~ admits that it is not satisfied with
the present postal service we are get
ting IN this city, and therein it is in
perfect accord with the vast majority
Of the business community, but it de-
MES that either of the cases which
Postmaster NOrthUp cites above have
anything to do with the general de-
mand which The Journal voices for
an improved and adequate service.
They are too infinitely small for any,
one other than Postmaster Northup to
discuss and We only refer to them now
as an evidence Of his incompetancy
and Inconsistency.
In the case Of The Journals week
" edition, Postmaster Northup sbouId
have explained that for more than a
year he admitted it to the mails con-
trary TO the postal regulations and
he had to be lacked up by the depart
ment before he furnished The Journal
the proper application blanks for sec
Ond class entry for its weekly edition.
He should have explained further WIN
he, without the knowledge or consent
of the postOfice department" ad-
mitted The Weekly Journal to the.
mails contrary TO regulations. when
II was his business to know and on
force those regulations. He shouldI
still further have explained that the
pOstofice department called on HIM
not on The JournaI-to make rood
the $3.50 which represented the diff.
ference between the second class rate
which The Journal had paid, and the
third class rate which, because Of
Postmaster NorthUp's inattention TO-
duty, should have been paid He
made himself liable to the department
for this amount and he had to nav
it. although on his request and in nav.
ment for what it considered his mis-.
take, The Journal gave him a check
to cover the difference. The Journal
in fact, paid for the postmaster's in.
competency in this case, although i'll
would not have mentioned the matter
had he not seen 1T to do so.
It may not be out Of order to state
in this connection that Postmaster
NOrthup's assistant, who by the wavI
has been found a perfect gentleman
and one with whom it is a pleasure
to do business" stated to Mr.. Mayes
that if he was in his (Mr. Mayes's)
place he did not think he would pay
INC duOuuL
Here also enters another question.
What right has Postmaster Northup
to make public the findings of the
postal department in matters relating
to this paper7 When over a year ago
The Journal asked Postmaster Nor
thup for some information relative to
the amount of second class matter en-
tered at his Office, it was denied the
information on the ground that it was
contrary to department regulations.
Is the postmaster now breaking
the same rule which he called into ef-
feet then? We doubt if he knows
whether he is or not.
