New Tariff Works Well,

Washington, Aug. 4.-The new tar
iff law has gone into operation with sur
prising smoothness, according to Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury Reynolds.
"We expected to be overrun with
questions, many Of them silly" said
Mr.. Reynolds yesterday, but the num-
Der of inquiries each day has been little
more than we have had under the Ding
ley law
This is ascribed by the Assistant Sec
retary to the bills having been passed
by a republican congress. The phrase
ology is much the same as under the
old, only the rates have been changed.
The operation is rendered easy for the
collectors.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Ex-Presdent
Roosevelt's order, by which $4,000
fourth-class postmasters were put into
the classified civil service at one stroke
of the pen. stands good chance of
meeting with a sudden end, according
to information obtained at the postof-
flee department. According to high de-
partment officials, the move has proven
of doubtful value, and it is generally
conceded that the remaining $4,000
postmasters who were not included in
the November order will not be placed
in the classified service, as long as
President Taft remains in the White
House or Postmaster General Hitchcock

Should the attorney general give
the charges fair consideration and
find the accusations well sustained.
after the third grand jury investiga-

in an embarrassing predicamcnt. For
he would either have to wipe out
all past proceedings and begin over
again, or else admit that the govern.

plainly evident that he does not
propose to halt the attorneys in their
