Mr.. Newlands' mild protest was couched
In the following words:
But cannot understand that Congress
should resent the inquiry by the executive
department Of the United States into any
violation or evasion of law. whether per-
petrated by people outside Of Congress or
by people inside of Congress. l do not
believe that the Congress OF the United
States intends to exempt its members
from punishment for the violation or the
evasion OF law. or that 1t intends to ex-
empt them from any inquiry made by the
secret service of the government regard
ing an alleged violation or evasion Of
law.
Now. do not believe in proceeding in

Senator Bacon OF Georgia, who prides

would shield him from the loss of his
crown. That would be the appointment OF

GOOD FEELING IN HAWAII.
Harbor Appropriations Give General
Satisfaction to islanders.

The annual report of Gov. w. +. Frear
of Hawaii declares that while there has
in the past been a widespread feeling that
the territory has received little attention
in return for the $1o,2s7, 900 customs re-
ceipts and $456,67s in internal revenue 1t
has paid into the federal Treasury, that
feeling has been largely dispelled by lib
eral appropriations by Congress for Hon
olulu and Hilo harbOrs. the Parl Harbor
naval station Notifications, etc.
Gov Frear says the financial crisis here
last fall and winter was scarcely noticed
in Hawaii The exports and imports for
the year amounted to 2.0o0. 600. or Al per
cent more than those of the entire United
States in 1890 A recomme ndaton is made
for the amendment of the land laws SO
as to increase bona fide settlement and
to discourage land speculation.
A suspension of the laws affecting trade
between Hawaii and the mainland for six
years is recommended, and the need OF
road improvement Is urged.

Citizens Seek Safety.

A committee of citizens representing the
Benning Citizens Association appeared
before the Commissioners this morning
and urged the establishment of railroad
crossings in Benning. DR.. l.. S. Richard
son, president of the association, was
spokesman, and in presenting his argu-
ment before the Commissioners said that
since the abolition of the station at Dean
wood there are but two crossings, one at
the engine house and one at Benning
road. Others, he said. are necessary in
order to afford proper safety and ac-
comm odation to the many residents in
that thickly settled neighborhood.

Rumor Causes CONSERVATION
in Temperance Circles.
BOUGHT FOR POST OFFICE
Superintendent of Delivery Explains
the Workings.
JSED FOR ASSERTING MAIL
Operation Is Easy Until Typewriter
Machines Are Placed in Chutes,
When Congestion Occurs.

There was CONSERVATION in local tenn

noised about that clerks in the local post
considerable expense to the government,
with Jugs" but nobody knew for what
purpose though the temperance folks
jumped to a conclusion.
A Star reporter visited Postmaster
Barnes and intimated he had been given a
tip on the subject. and insisted it was the
postmaster's duty to give full and I'M
reserved information as to why post office
clerks, above all others. should be sup
piled with jugs" and what authority
there was in law for spending government
money to buy such things.
W. II. Haycock, superintendent of de-
livery, who stood by, grinned at the
amazed look on the postmaster's face,
and suggested that he could explain the
situation. He was permitted to do SO.
floor of the post Office, halted before a
circular six-stOry piece of furniture with
chutes that were rapidly being clogged
with mail matter of every class except
letters.
Points Out Biggest jug.
That's our biggest Jug Mr.. Haycock
said, land it is saving the government a
lot of money in clerks time by affording
one of the most complete and compact
methods of distributing mail matter that
we have ever had in the office. 1t is about
seventeen feet in diameter, with a hollow
center in which three men stand all day,
asserting to carriers and stations the
newspaper and parcel mail that comes
into the office. The mail is dumped i'm
mediately ON its arrival on center table
in the jug and the men stand there and
assert it without having to move foot.
When the chutes are clogged, and often
before. the carriers appear at the outside
of the jug, open little door, gather their
mail in small basket and are ready to
route it for delivery.
THE jug has never failed US since its
installation" Mr.. Haycock added, Eek
cept once, and that was when some type
writer's. which had been shipped by eco
non1ical congressman under their official
frank, arrived in the mail. Our chutes
wouldn't hold them, SO they were trans
ferred to the Held for postage desk and
somebody is having his trouble about
them over there.
Clerk Is Non-Committal.
The clerk in charge of the Held for
postage" desk is n-committal, and had
little information to give. but three pri-
vate secretaries from the great marble
building that tanks the Capitol We're
wrought up because the non-communica-
tive clerk refused to surrender the type
writer's without first being paid a sum as
postage on each which ran pretty close to
the original cost of the machines. Frowns,
wicked looks and even harsh language
failed to move the clerk
Supt. I1aycock intimated that perhaps
the law clerk might find statute which,
literally construed. would permit the
restoration of the typewriting machines
