REoRGANIzING MAIL SERVICE.
Three Northwest States Taken from
Eighth Division.

A. H. Stephens of San Francisco, SUI
perintendent of the Eighth Railway
Postal division, embracing Washington,
Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Arizona, Nevada,
California, Alaska and Hawaii, now en-
ploying LOO men, as against 2s4 in
1898, is in Spokane to make a final in
spection of the headquarters of the di-
vision preparatory to turning over
Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washing
ton, the newly created Thirteenth di-
vision with headquarters at Portland.
The new division also includes Mon
tana. The change will take place on
July 1, with Frank w. Vaille in charge.
He was formerly assistant superintend-
emit of the Eighth division, with head
quarters at Portland.
Taking the three northwestern states
from the Eighth division will reduce
the number of men employed to about
500, which it was in 1904, when Mr..
Stephens took charge, though the di-
vision of the territory will not take any
men out of the service. The fact there
are LOO men today as against 2s4 in
1898, shows the growth of the north
west in IL years.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. japanese lead
ers in the strike of the plantation labor
ers, of whom about 5000 are out, have
been indicted by the grand jury on
charges of having conspired to incite
disorders in the Hawaiian islands.
This action promptly followed the
sensational disclosures Saturday when
a search of the offices of the Higher
Wage association and the japanese
newspaper Jiji by the authorities re-
vealed certain letters, reports and
other correspondence tending to show
that a conspiracy was in prospective
formation among certain Japanese to
wrest control of the islands from the
whites.
So important did the authorities re-
gard the discovery of what appeared
to be a plot among some of the strike
leaders that the grand jury was hast.
lily summoned and the documentary evi.
dence seized in the raids was laid be-
fore that body.
