PAUL ON THE RACK. Damaging Admissions of Milwaukee's Ex-Postmaster. BE HAD ACCESS TO THE ELIGIBLE LIsT—IM- PROPER BE-MAREING AND ILLEGAL APPOIYT- ‘MENTS—STILL HARPING ON SHIDI—HOW THE LAW WAS EVADED, Mr. Reosevelt cross-questioned ex-Postmas- ter Paul very sharply at the session of the House investigation committee after recess yesterday, leading him into some very damag- ing admissions. It was shown on his own tes- tamony, brought ont by Mr. Roosevelt's pointed Questions, that Mr. Paul had had access to the eligible list; that he had told the secretary of the local examining board to include in the next certification men who had signified their willingness to accept positions of a lower grade | than they had been examined for; that he ap- Pointed a man to a place in August, who, as the record before him siiowed, was not certified ‘Until September; that he was in the room with Shea leenl board ot etaminere whet they were discussing the re-marking of some examination papers, and suggested to them that the man Whose marking it was desired to reduce had had an unfair advantage in the start, and that had drawn up the rough draft of the letter reply toan inquiry by the commission of the examining board 4s to this peculiar trans- action. These are a few of the ailmissions drawn out of him during the cross-examina- LANGLAND'S APPOINTMENT. Immediately after recess Mr. Webster con- tinued his cross-cxamimation of the witness. Mr. Webster asked how witness explained the appointment of B. F. Langiand as stamper July 1, 1887, without classification. Witness said that Langiand was certified to him, though there was no record of it. Major Webster called witness’ attention to the fact that Langland had previousiy been | certified four times in a different class—one time oftener than he hada right to be—and had not been selected, and that after that he was Bppointed stamper without a certification. Witness said he knew ouly that Langland had been certified to him ona scrap of puper. ie could not, he protested, be required to account for what Shidy did. Shidy had certitied the man to him, he it Shidy had made a “sera Le sel certification, pry Vebster refreshed the witness’ mem- ory by reading from the statement made by Paul to him, in which Paul stated that he re- called the old carrier's certification of May 6. 1887, which had becn rejected,and had selected Langland and appointed him stamper. Wit- bess said he thought this was the fact, WINDING HIM UP. Maj. Webster asked Paul if he thought he had as right to appoint a stamper from a carrier's certification. Witness replied that he could not make such an appointment. ‘Then it was shown by his own statement that he said he thought he bad made the appoint ment in that way. Witness then said he did a| THE DEATH OF YOUNG ABE LINCOLN. THE NAVAL RESERVE. His Long and Manful Struggle for Life | How it is Proposed to Preserve Worn- Ended This Morning. ‘The dispatches from London announce the death at 11 a.m. today, after along anid brave struggle against disease, of young Abraham Lincoln, the only male grandchild of the mar- tyred President. “Poor Jack!” sighed Col. Thos. F. Barr, who was military secretary to Mr. Robert Lincoln when he was Secretary of War, when he heard the sad news. “‘He was one of the dearest, brightest, most lovable boys on earth, abso- lately unspoiled. frauk, interesting and prom- ing. His father fairly idolized him and gave him almost his entire thought, When the family were preparing to go to London last spring I asked Mr. Lincoln what he intended to do with Jack, and he said that that was giving him more anxiety than any question he had yet encountered, He had wanted him to keep on with his college work and had iaid outa course of study for him in preparation for his future life. His death will almost break his heart.” SORROW IN THE WAR DEPARTMENT. All through the department are heard ex- pressions of grief at the death of the minister's son. His was « familiar face around the vicin- ity of his father’s ottice during the latter's term as Secretary of War, and during that period the officials learned to love the bright little fellow, for whom everybody had a pleasant word, and who always had a bright reply ready. He made friends easily and readily and lacked the bashfulness that children usually have without being at all forward or disagreeble. The pho- tograph from which the accompanying cut was made was taken just abont five years ago, and is an exccilent likeness of Jack—as everybody knew him—as he appeared then. Of course he has since matured and broadened and become more manly, less childish, m his appearance, but, as a gentleman who saw him but recently has said, the portrait is still a good one, ARRANAM LINCOLN. Abraham Lincoln was the only son of Robert not know to what sort of position Langland had | T. Lincoln, American minister to England, been appointed. Witness’ statement as to this appoint Was vague and wares: He first said. in an- swer to questions, that he thought the appoiut- ment had been made by him on a “paper slip” certification by Shidy When it was shown that he had stated that he had recalled one o: the old carrier certifications and selected hi from this, he said he thought that was the f. His attention bemg then called to the fact that he could not appoint « stamper from a carrier's list, he hesitated m his re saying he did not know that Langland stamper. Then he fell back on the broad state- ment that he had made the appountment in no | irregular way. PAUL'S STATEMENT. Mr. Roosevelt asked witness if the testimony in the possession of the commission was not shown him by the commission when they ex- amined him in the Milwaukee post office, and it he had not told them tosee Shidy, to ask Shidy, &c. Witness denied that he had ever seen the testimony or knew that the commission had it. | Mr. Roosevelt said then that he and bis col- leagues would swear that the examination of | Mr. Paul had been conducted with reference to his statement to Mr. Webster. and that the Statement had been in Mr. Pat hands and examined by him during his examination. Mr. Paul said in » manner of bravado that he guessed he could - * witnesses too. xe would like to know nn iuring the examination ul besides Poul and the commission. Mr. Paul said the chief clerk was, but finally admitted that he was there only a short time and that no one was there during the whole examination. | DODGING THE QUESTION. Witness having admitted on several occasions in the course of his examination that he had access to the eligible list, he was asked if he ever interfered in apy way with the certification of Dames for appointment. ‘The witness fumbled with this question for a long time and then replied that he had never | interfered “in an improper manner.” He was then asked if he had not asked Shidy to certify men at the next call who had been taken from ahigher grade list. Witness evaded this question in a general sort of demial. He said he had not directed Shidy with regard to the certifications. “Did you not hint to him?” asked Mr. Roose- vel! “Not improperly,” was the reply. “‘Not by way of influencing certifications.” Not in the the sense, witness said, that he wanted him to do so and so. Me what sense then?” asked Mr. Roose- velt. “In the sense of doing his duty,” replied the | witness, vaguely. we do you mean by that?” Mr. Roosevelt ce “In the first place, I have no recollection,” the witness replied, “of mentioning any names; but if any remark or reference was made it was not made for the purpose of influcucing certificatioas,” IT Was SHOWN by the statement made to Mr. Webster at Mil- waukee, which was signed by Paul and admit- ted to be correct, that he had told Shidy when & man of higher grade had signified his willing- hess to take a lower grade place to include him in the next certification. Mr. Roosevelt produced the rough draft by Paul of a letter in reply to the commission from the local examining board and the letter signed and sent by the board over their sizna- tures, which was an exact copy of the rough draft by Mr. Paul, and ‘sakes Mr. Paul if the rough draft was not in his handwriting. Wit- ness acknowledged that it was, IMPROPER BE-MARKINGS, The letter related to certain improper re- markings and was in reply to a letter from Mr. Oberly asking the board for an explanation. It was a matter which under the law the post- master had no right to have anything to do with or to have any knowledge of, yet he had drawn up the rough dratt of the explanation te the commission and the board of local ex- aminers had copied it and sent it off as their own. Witness said in explanation of this that Shidy had asked him to suggest the proper form o! # letter. Witness further testified that he was in the Feom with the board of local examiners when they were discussing the question of re-marking some examination pavers so as to change the Felative position of two eligibles, Witness ac- khowledged that he had said that he thought the man who had the highest marks bad bad am unfair advantage in the start. He was asked how he came to know what ad- Vantages an eligibic had had or how bis murks stood. He replied that Shidy had told him that this man, having been a car driver. had made fay! =p cent ou bis examination on local- ities in city. (The examination was for carrier.) Witness had said that, be ing better int on this subject, the car driver had au advantage over the other man,gwho had not Deena car driver.

The New York press and the New York people are enthusiastic sup- porters of this new movement, and the theo- retical problem of a naval reserve so long agi- tated has been put into actual existence. The privates of the different compamies are men of intelligence and standing, identified with mari- time. yachting and business affairs in New York, and furnish the best subjects for instruction as trained and skilled artillerymen for service on board the harbor defense vessels, IN OTHER CITIES, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington and Chi- cago are all agitating the subject of organizing naval reserves, and if the legislation now pend- ing for the assistance of the different battalions in allowing them to use such ships as the Brook- lyn and Hartford, which will thus be preserved, a great step will be gained. The movement is @ popular one and, with the Navy department acting in sympathy, it is thought that good re- sults will soon be shown, placing this nation far ahead of all others in point of efficiency and numbers of a naval reserve force.

Big. brawny and brave, he cannot be builied or bamboozled. When he refufed to perffiit a minority either to rule orruin he put an end forever to a per- nicious practice. The claim of the democratic Congressman is more than absurd; it is ridicu- lous, He is always present for buncombe, but not for business; for salar for talk. but not for tariff; for wrangling, but not for work; for cussedness, but not for count; for party service. but notfor party good.

The Neagle Case Considered in the U.S. Supreme Court. ‘The Supreme Court yesterday took up the Neagle case arising out of the shooting of | {lt David Terry in Lathrop, Cal, last summer in protection of Justice Field, All the justices were present except Justice Field. ‘The court was crowded with prominent men, who listened attentively to the arguments, Mr. Zach Mont- gomery opened the case in behalf of the ap-| pellant, Sheriff Cunningham, who had re- leased the prisoner on a writ of habeas corpus | issued by the United States court. The writ was on the ground that Neagle had kilied Terry as a deputy marshal who was engaged in his duty of protecting a justice of the Supreme Court. Mr. Montgomery said the matter wax a jurisdictional one between fornia and the United States as to who should try the man and that all questions of Neagle’s guilt or innocence were irrelevant.

In point of fact, it may be truthfally said that it is without ap equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiied from the sworn weekly statements priuted in the paper on euch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1559, published in Tur Srak on the 18th of January, 1590, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star bas three times the cireu- jation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2, The Star's circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily Papers published in the city added to- gether!! 3. the Star bas a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas ing population, than any other news paper im the world!!! 4. The Siar bas the Jargest reguiar and permanent home circulation of any (wo-cent afternoon paper in the United States It! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following WAILY CIRCULATION TN I885-86-87-88-89, ISSS. ISSG.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub scribers. ‘The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tue Sran a distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which | it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. ‘This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enters prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PalD OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tux Sran’s advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, mouth by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentious competition. The figures following tell the story on this poit: NUMBSK OF NEW ADVEKTISEMANTS “RINTED Lt 1885-86-87-88-90, IsS6.

The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared with that occupied im 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertine- ‘ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns is the aggregate, being « total gain over the pre vious year of 1444 columns! And this, it must be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, ¢lection returns, etc., such as occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being incinded im its patrun- age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, im proportion to the extent and high character Of its circulation, Tar.
