Postmaster Samuel h. Herr was con-
spieuous figure at the Republican Conven-
ton. The Civil Service Rules forbid
postmasters to take any active part in
political affairs. but what does Sam care
for such matters. He is now big chief
in the tribe. and seemed anxious to show
his influence and greatness to all. The
Republican party is ruled and regulated
BY Federal officers, and Sammy was only
doing what Others do Rules with Re-
publican officials dom count for anything
where partisan or faetional point is to be
gained. and beside, what is the use of be-

world knows it.

Washington, Aug. ga careful eX-
animation of the law governing the
construction of the Panama canal has
satisfied Acting Secretary of War Oil
yer that the president is authorized to
grant the request of the isthmian canal
commission for permission to create =
deficiency of $S,000000 during the cur
rent fiscal year to meet the require
ments of the engineer department for
an enlarged scale of operations. The
president has been so advised and on
his approval permission will be cabled
to the commission. The attorney gen
eral some time ago rendered an Opin-
ion that the limitations imposed upon
the executive departments of the gov
ernment did not apply as a whole to
the canal construction, which was gov
erned by the SpoOner act.

Other interesting things can be seen
at the exhibition besides the blue ey-
eninS clothes. The forms on which
hang the clothes that New York ought
to wear and probably won't, look much
like the wardrobe of a vaudeville slap
stick artist or Dutch comedian. The
colors range anywhere from cream
brown to Nile green.

For instance, there is an overcoat
which the exhibitors prophesy will be

SURPRISE is CAUSED
President SmalI's Visit to New

Help Their Cause

Chicago, Aug. 23.-The Western
Union has announced, through Super
intendent Cook, that it is handling all
business satisfactorily and was willing
to refute statements issued by strik.
ing telcgraphers that messages were
piling up by allowing a committee OF
business men to visit its operating
room. 1t was declared that messages
are sent with little delay and that at
the opening of business today all tele-
grams on file had been sent and the

Cooks often expressed statement that
ne would allow no one in the operating
room of the Western Union came as Il

Strikers Hope for Peace.
New York, Aug. 23.-There is hope
among the striking telegraphers that
the end of the strike is close at hand.
With the arrival of President Small of
the Commercial Telegraphers, union
and Labor Commissioner Neill in this
city tomorrow they expect that arbi-
tration will be taken up.
While the telegraph company ofIic-
ials are positive in stating that the
strike is broken and that they will not
treat with any one seeking to bring
about arbitration, there is no doubt
that the strike is anything but satisfac-
tory to them. Strike leaders claim
plenty of evidence is at hand to show
that the Western Union is sending
messages that should go by telegraph
over the telphone wires and through
the mails.
Using Heavily.
The strikers give out figures show
ing that the Western Union is losing
100000 a day and the Postal $4,000
a day because of the strike They
claim that only ninety-two messages
were sent over the principal wire be
tween New York and Chicago by thC
Postal yesterday Daniel Russell
chairman of the board of strategy Of
the strikers organization. says he has
proof that the Postal is handling only
10000 messages a day here, where the
normal number is $4,000, and that tht
Western Union business has dropped
from 10000 a day to 10000.
