Once a Postmaster General---Wife Had a Safe Forcibly Opened and Removed All Papers. Washington, April 23.—Summary dismissal of the attorney general at the post office department from fur- ther connection with that branch of the government; the possible arrest of his wife for illegal and forcible re- moval of papers from a safe in the department are the day’ssensational incidents connected with the investi- gation into the affairs of this branch of the public service, which has been in progress for some time past. The facts are set fort in the follow- ing letter from Postmaster, General Payne, made public to-night: Washington, April 22—Hon James N, Tyner, assistant Attorney general for the Post Department— Sir; You are hereby removed from the office of assistant attorney gen- eral for the post office department. I deem it proper to give you rea- sons for this summary action on the part of the department, Early in the month of March | communicated to you, through a mutual friend, a re- quest for your resignation, After a painful interview with-you and a more painful one with Mrs. Tyner, 1 consented to modify the demand for your resignation -so—that—it—might+feers—and—nen—_sixty-nine— take effect on May 1, 1903: with the proviso, however, that you were given leave of absence from the time of the acceptance of the resignation to the date of its taking effect, with the understanding that you were not in any way toundertake to discharge the duties of the oftice. Late yesterday afternoon Mrs. Tyner came to the office of the as sistant attorney general for the post oftice department, entering in the regular way, and went through the main office to the private office, clos ed the door entering from the public hall into the private room and ad mitted her sister, Mrs. Barrett, whose son was formerly assistant in your office. and whose conduct is now un- der investigation by the department She also admitted in the same man- ner Mr. G. G. Hamner, an expert in the employ of the Mosier safe com- pany, with whom she had made an arrangement to meet her at the de- partment. At her direction Mr. Hamner opened the safe in the room and she took therefrom all papers, records and articles of every kind and carried them away with her. Immediately npon learning what had been done I directed the fourth assistant postmaster general to send two inspectors to your house to de mand in the name of the postmaster genersl, the delivery to them of any papers, documents or other material which had ben abstracted from the safe. This demand was refused b) Mrs. Tyner; and she likewise refused to permit the inspectors to see you or toseeand examine the papers” in her presence. Mrs. Tyner further stated to the postoffice inspectors that she committed this act with your knowledge and by your direc- tion. Further comment on this transaction, on my part, is not nec- essary. The facts in the case will be sub- mitted to the attorney general of the United States for such action in the premises as he may deem proper. Very respectfully, H.C. PAYNE, Postmaster General. America Will Protest. Washington, April 24.—That the United States government will make a vigorous protest through proper diplomatic channels, against Russia’s demand upon China for a retention by Ruseia of the province of Man- charia. At the state department, this step by the czar is regarded as a direct —tbreeeh vf faith and-an-attack-epon the American policy of maintaining the integrity of China, which was an- nounced more than two years ayo. It is scarcely poxsible that the United States woul join with any other power in any forcible action rainst ia, but the state depart- ard to the Ri ‘nem, statement of this government in family came home.

Besides these ten, were killed in action and forty-seven died from wounds and disease, HE INVENTED GIN RICKEYS. Attributes Country’s Prosperity to Qualities Which Are Peculiar to the United States, London, April 23.—The British Consul at Chicago, W. Wyndham, in his annual report on Chicago and the wholeconsular district, gives a glow- ing account of the great increasing prosperity thereof and pays high tribute to American methods. He expresses the opinion that the progress of the country is largely due to“the opportunity both in business and in employment in this large, young country; the encouragement given to workmen; the rewarding of merit; the intimate acquaintance of the heads of firms with the work of their subordinates; the keen enthusi- asm shorn by the workmen in thein- terests of their employers and to the absolute fearlessness on the part of the business man in venturing on ex- periments, either in machinery or system, that may be brought before him. Mr Wyndham urges the impor- tance of a careful study of the busi- ness and manufacturing methods of the United States, and the adoption of those which are suitable to the country where trade is sought for. He considers that such a study is in- dispensable to holding trade where English merchants are active. This study must, however, be pro- longed for several monthe, as ashort stay of a day or two in the big cities, so often deemed sufficient by bi European visitors, is “worse than useless as any one not accustomed to their ways at first only sees the bad points and learns nothing.” The Death of Joseph H. Rickey, the Missouri Lobbyist. New York, April 23.—Colonel Jo- seph Kyle Rickey, said to be the orig- inator of the famous drink known as the “gin rickey,” died suddenly to- day. He formerly was a resident of St. Louis. A coroner who was called in made a statement that the cause of death was heart disease. His death occurred under circum stances which led to inquiries as to whether he had committed suicide In his pocket after he had been found staggering in the street, was discov- ered a bottle partly filled with car- bolic acid, but an autopsy may be necessary to determine if he took any of the poison. Colonel Rickey was noticed by several persons walking along Twenty-fifth street by the Hoff- man house, shortly before 11 o’clock and his unsteady gait attracted at- tention. A policeman hastened to his assistance. He took him by the arm and asked if he was ill, but the colonel was uvable to speak. The policeman fairly carried him a few doors to his boarding house and then called a physician. An ambulance was summoned, but before the doc- ‘tors-arrived- Colonel Rickey wasdead: His lips were not burned and the physician called expressed the opin- ion that heart disease was the cause of death. Colonel Rickey was bornin Illinois, ut removed to Missouri when very young. He wasa lobbyist in Jeffer- son City for many years and stood high in the estimation of the state politicians. He afterward went to Washington, where he has since lived. He was celebrated as a bon- vivant aud story teller. Jews Massacred in Russia.

New York, April 23.—Hereis some- thing new for the tenderloin—where every man pays for his own drink. Under the white flag of reform the “Acorn No-Treating Tavern” will throw open its deors to the thirsty within the next three weeks on Broad- way. Racking the enterprise are R Ful- ton Cutting, E. R. Gould, Herbert Parsons, the fusion leader in the board of aldermen, and a number of well-known men who share Bishop Potter's idea of making the saloon leas obnoxious than it is to-day. Bishop Potter and Dr. Rainsford will be asked to indorse the enterprise and be present when it is opened. Joseph H. Johnson, jr., head of the order of Acorns, the political or- ganizations which supported Mayor Low in the last campaign, announc- ed to-day that the capital for the enterprise had been subscribed. He said that he had practically decided upon the location of the place.
