POSTAL STATISTICS.
Brief Outline of Report of Fonrth As
slstant Postmaster General Brlstnw.
WASIIIXGTOX, Nov. 20.-Fourtli
Assistant Postmaster General John L.
liristow in his annual report recommends
an amendment to the interstate com
merce law prohibiting telegraph and ex
press companies or their employes from
aiding or abetting 'in the greengoods or
lottery swindles or any other scheme
carried on partly by mail and partly by
common carrier and in violation of the
postal laws.
Other legislation urged Is as follows:
Authorizing postofllce inspectors to take
out search warrants whenever necessary
for payment of inoidcntal expenses In
curred by local otllcers or others in tho
arrest, detention and keeping of prison
ers violating postul laws until trans
ferred to the United States marshal's
custody; constriction of inspectors' look
out towers in postofllces whenever
deemed necessary by the postmaster gen
eral,.nnd piohiliiting loose pitching of cir
culars, calendars, etc., owing to Bmall
pieces of mail matter, frequently slipping
in large unsealed envelopes in transit.
There were 15,112 appointments ot
postmasters made during the past fiscal
year, 14,433 being of the fourth-class
and 707 being presidential, an increase
of 038 in all over last year. There also
has been an increase in the number ot
postmasters. Fewer removals for Ir
regularities were made than last year.
There were 3,000 postofllces established
during the year, an increase of 0U5 over
last year and 1,192 ofllcers were discon
tinued, an Increase of 407 discontinu
ances over last year, mostly due to ru
ral free delivery extension and public
highway linvroveinents. A vigorous ef
fort has been mnde to suppress post
olllees conducted throughout the country
for the sole benefit of some corporations,
uiirsury company, patent medicine firm
or other private institution whose opera
tions deprive the government of its legit
imate revenues. The company or corpor
ation usually has some one connected
with it appointed postmaster and gets
the advantage of the cancellations or the
Balary and allowances of the postmas
ter. These institutions sometimes have
derived thousands of dollars of reveuuo
from the government which virtually
amounted to a commission or discount on
their postal business.
There were 47 resignations aud 45
deaths of presidential postmasters and
019 deaths and 8,013 resignations of
fourth-class postmasters. On June 30
last the number of postoUlccs was 70,
08S, as follows:
First-class, 194; second-class, 852;
third, 3,187; fourth, 72,455.
The total number of arrests during tho
fiscal year for offenses against the postal
laws was 1,520, including 113 postmas
ters, 29 assistant postmasters nnd 141
postofllce clerks, carriers and other pos
tal employes. Of the total number ar
rested 520 were convicted.
NO TROUBLE ABOUT DEBTS.
Duke of Manchester's Father-In-Law Says
Iuke Will Kilter Politics.
XEW YORK, Xov. 27.-Eugene Zim
merman, whose daughter was married to
tho Duke of Manchester a week or so
ago in England, was interviewed hero
yesterday. Ho said to a reporter:
"I have come here to meet my daughter
and her husband. After they have rest
ed here a few days we will go to Cin
cinnati and a reception will be given at
my home. Ihe duke is a bright chap.
He's a fine, manly fellow. I like a man
who went to work as he did as a news
paper man when he was here.
"Some of his articles were first rate,
too. At no time was I opposed to Ills
marriage to my daughter. Those storlea
are all moonshine.
"Is it true that tho duko is in a bad
way financially 7" asked the reporter.
"I guess there won't be any dilliculty
about his debts. Not at all. That does
not make any difference. I don't care to
speak about the marriage portion. That
is a private matter, llut there won't be
any troublo about debts. They will be
well that's all right; all right."
"Is it likely that the duke may settle
down in America and enter the railroad
business ?"
"No, no. Tho duke is going iuto Brit
ish politics. He is entitled to a seat In
the house of lords and he is going to turn
his attention to politics.

Some to Check Advance.
CHICAGO, Xov. 27.-Com for Xovcm
her delivery sold yesterday on the board
of trade at 50 cents per bushel, the high

time the coarse cereal has sold almost
down to 20 cents per bushel.

Thillips, a member of the Chicago board,
taking advautage of the fag-end of a
protracted bull deal ou the local ex
change, which had resulted in the deple
tion of the contract stocks of corn in
Chicago, gradually picked up all offer
ings and yesterday apparently showed
that he bad effected the most perfect
corner in the recent history of the board.
Practically no contract corn is coming
to niorket.
Phillips did little to advance the mar
ket yesterday, it advanced on the efforts
of Bhorts to cover. AVhen 50 cents was

40, rose to 50 cents and closed at 49
cents, a net gain of four cents.

American lee company there has hern no
proof that he wilfully violates the law
forbidding a public otOcer to be a stock
holder in a corporation having dealings
with his municipality.
The governor's memorandum says:
"Tho brief presented by Mr. Hayes ol
counsel to Tne orld, undated, hut re
ceived iu this olllce Nov. 20, contains no
additional testimony or indication where
additional! testimony can be obtained.
Ihe situation is therefore unchanged
from what it was on Oct. 4, 1000, when
the attorney general wrote his letter to
me.
"There is therefore as stated by the
attorney g'-vcral in his letter of Nov.
2d, little to add to what was contained
lu his letiei of Oct. 4 and in the state
nient issued by me on Nov. 17.
"I concur in the attorney general's
opinion. My judgment is that the so
talled ico trust is not a corporation in
which the mayor of New York should
Lave stock. But no proof has been of-
feied of any wilful violation ol law on
the part of ihe mayor as womd justify
drastic measure of removing him from
o.Tice. The power of removal from of
fice of elect ve otllcers should be treated
much as we treat the power of im
peh'.hnient. It is an extraordinary and
pot an ordinary remedy.
'The normal remedy for bad govern
ment must be an appeal to il.o people,
and only in wholly exceptional cases Is
It desirable to substitute for this appeal
to the people, an appeal to the power nf
removal or the power of Impeachment
"The case is therefore dismissed.

In Keating Case.
ROCHESTER, X. Y.. Xov. 27.-Pop-alar
opinion severely condemns the po
lice department for laxity iu examining
the scene of the Keating murder for
traces of the perpetrator. When the
body of Miss Keating was found, the po
lice apparently made no effort to search
for footprints of the murderer at the
place of the murder. In fact the crowds
that visited the scene before the body
ns removed were permitted to crowd up
rlose to the corpse instead of being kept
at a distance so that if there were any
tracks, iu th? soft soil they might Im
preserved and measured.

WASIIIXGTOX. Nov. 27. The secr
tary of the navy has received a report
from a special board appointed to inves
tigate th' merits of fire proof wood as a
material for naval vessels, which in sub
stance finds that the present processes of
treating wood, so far as they have been

the lireprootiug. They recommend the
opening of the bids for fireprooting to a
wider competition.
