LARGEST AMOUNT EVER
IN THE P0STOFF|CE Bill!
The House Committee viii Ask for
An Appropriation of Over $780,
100000 For the P~ostoffice
Service.

Washington.-The postoffice appro-
priation bill, which the house commit.
tee on postoffices and postroads COM
pleted on Monday, will carry $209, $780,.
SCI. This is the largest amount eve
carried for the annual expenditures
of the postal service. The total rec
commended in the bill is more than
3 1000, 900 in excess OF the amount es-
timated for by the department and
is an increase of SIT, 500, 1862 over the
current appropriation.
The salaries of postal clerks Of both
city and rural carriers are increased
to a total of $1,000, 900. Provision is
inserted in the bill for the classified
ton of postal clerks and the position
of clerks and carriers are made inter.
changeable.
There are various provisions in the
bill intended to reduce the pay to rail.
roads for carrying the mails. 1t is es.
timated that this reduction will
amount to something like $4,000, 600
a year. The rate for hauling daily
from 5000 to $4,000 pounds is reduced
S per cent, from $4,000 to $4,000
pounds 10 per cent, and the present
rate of $21.37 per ton for amounts
above sc $1,000 pounds is reduced to $19.
These reductions, it is estimated, will
amount to $4,000 900 a year. A saving
of 81, 200, 900 more is estimated as u
result Of reductions in railroad post
office pay. The bill cuts off all pay
of roads for hauling empty mail sacks,
which it is estimated will save be-.
tween SO, 200, 900 and 4,000,0 900 a year.
The requirement that the mails shall
be weighed seven days a week and the
amount divided by seven instead of by
six, as heretofore, a provision placed
in the bill at the suggestion of Rep
resentative Murdoch of Kansas. will
1t is estimated, ave $4,000, 900.

FIRE Bl0TTED
OUT EVIDENCE
"PettibOne Dope Ignited in
Safe and Burned Photo
graphs and Papers.
One of the Bottles of Chemicals Is
Supposed to Sprung a Leak and
Set Fire to the Contents Of a
Safe in Possession of Mine
Owners.

Colorado Springs, Colo.-A special
to the Gazette from Cripple Creek
says:
Through a fire. thought to have
been caused by "Pettibone DOPE" or
hell fire." a combustible liquid, GER
tain documentary evidence, photo,
graphs and other valuable papers that
were to be used as evidence against
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone, Off
GERS of the Western Federation of
Miners, charged with completely in the
murder of Former Governor Steunen-
berg of Idaho, which had been placed
in the safe of the Mine Owners asso-
citation in this city, r believed to
have been destroyed.
At LAS o'clock Thursday afternoon
smoke was discovered emitting from
the safe, in the rooms of the associa-
ton in the National hotel. Small
drops of fire leaked out through a
crack at the bottom and falling on
the floor, burned holes in the limo
leum.
The fire department was called, but,
as the fire was confined to the safe,
1t was showed out onto the sidewalk
and all the crevices were stopped up
with putty.
1t is stated that one or more bottles
of the chemical, which had been
placed in the safe, together with other
valuable evidence, for safekeeping,
sprung a leak and set fire to the con-
tents of the safe. The chemical came
into the possession of the Mine Own
ers' association several months ago.
It had been buried in the Cripple Creek
district, and was found after Adams
disclosed its whereabouts.
The liquid, it is said, will ignite by
spontaneous combustion, if kept in a
place free from air. After igniting it
is claimed that it will produce an in
tense heat. This, it is believed, has
affected the combination of the safe,
rs it is impossible to open it and learn
the extent of the damage. The safe
still stands on the sidewalk in front
Of the National hotel and is being
guarded by officers.

Washington.-The president has in
formed Representatives Hill and
Marrhall that he would use his intlu.
ence to secure an early vote upon the
bill providing for the changes in the
denatured alcohol law which are be.
ing demanded by the farmers.
The present law is regarded by
many to be theoretically all right, but
1t is held that its practical operation
bars farmers from enjoying any bene-
fits because of the large expense re.

Beaten to Death With His Boots.

San Francisco.-A peculiarly afro
cious murder was discovered when
the dead body of Claude Young, nude
and fearfully mutilated, was found in
a room in the lodging house No. 40
East street. Apparently the man had
been beaten to death with his own
heavy miners half-boots. These, the
spiked heels literally soaked with
blood, lay on the floor near the bed
on which the body of Young was
stretched. The police have not made
up their minds as to the motive for
the murder.

Observation-Disclosures States Senator
John F. Dryden of New Jersey, on
Sunday announced that he had with.
drawn his name as candidate for re.
election to the United States senate.
This action was taken on the advice
of the senator's physicians, who
warned him of the danger to his
health if he persisted in attending the
public meetings arranged at his re.
quest to be held in Trenton Monday.
1t was Senator Dryden's intention to
address the Republican members Of
the legislature and set forth the rea-
sons, in his opinion, why he should
be reelected to the senate.

INVESTIGATE DEATH OF WAKE
Mystery Surrounds Explosion o
Sewer Gas at GoIdfieId.

Goldtield, Nev.-The corOner's jury
sitting upon the remains Of James +
Wake, the colored man killed in the
Nixon block, was unable to determine
definitely whether death resulted from
the explosion of sewer gas from the
basement closet, or from fire. The
weight of the evidence favored the
latter theory. There is no reason to
believe Wake either aimed at suicide
or intended to blow up the block. The
basement was dark and he lighted q
match to get his bearings, being killed
either by the explosion of the escap
ing gas or rendered helpless thereby
and then burned to death.

PLAN UNREASONABLE.
Japanese Opinion of Proposed SoIu-
ton of Present Dispute.

Tokio.-After a careful survey of
public feeling here regarding the pros.
pect of a satisfactory solution of the
San Francisco school controversy, it
may be stated that while the ap-
proach of the termination of the dis
agreeable affairs is welcomed, yet the
report from Washington that a solu-
ton may be effected by a mutual
treaty excluding the immigration of
laborers is generally disbelieved as
unreasonable.
According to the prevailing feeling
a solution must be effected on Japan's
treaty rights pure and simple.
