THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., T Edward Smaitwood Fatally Stabbed Ed- ward Tenney Last Night. “I stabbed him, but for what I don’t know,” were the words of a young colored man named Edward Smallwood, who was locked up at the third precinct station last night on a charge of murder. The body of the dead man, Edward ‘Tenne: in the corridor, not many feet from where the prisioner was incarcerated. Edward Tenney, the victim, was about twenty- two years olid and bore a good reputation. lived near 23 street and Pennsylvanis avenue and was employed ase driver by Dr. Suter in Georgetown. Edward Smallwood is only nineteen years old, but the police Jo not give him agood repu- tation. Ho went with a crowd of corner loaf- ers, they say. and bas been arrested a unmber Of times on such charges as dis throwing stones and engaging in fights. THE BODY FOUND IN AN ALLEY. ‘The police first learned of the homicide through a colored man named Robert Carter, who found the body of the dead man in Gov- ernment alley. Carter was passing throagh the alley on his way home when be stumbled over the man's body. Stooping to the ground he turned the man over to see if he was drunk, and to his surprise he diseovered that he was dead. Carter went tothe police station and told the officers of what he had discovered, and they started to the alley to bring the body to the station. When they reached the alley the officers met a colored boy named Clarence Butler, who thought he could identify the man if the officers would let him see him. 1 officers did so, aud the boy exclaimed: “Why, that's Ed. Tenney.” The body was removed to the station and the next thing for the officers was to ascertain | where the fatal encounter took place and who inflicted the denth blow. A small wound in| the left breast just over the heart indicated | thatthe man had been stabbed to death and that the blade had penetrated the heart, as he | had died only ashort time after be received the wound. From some of the colored people in the neighborhood the officers learned that the homicide occurred inasaloon kept by J. J. Leary, corner 20th and L streets, and the affair happened shortly before the finding of Ten- ney 8 body. HOW THE AFFRAY STARTED. Between 10 and 11 o'clock the police met a party of colored men in that neighborhood and several of them had musical instruments. ‘Thinking the negroes would get into trouble the officers hesitated a few minutes, expecting to get a case or two, but the men went on, and after that they went to Leary’s saloon.’ Ed-| ward Tenney also came along and spoke to the efiicers, andhe too weat into Leary’s place. From the statements of witnesses it does not appear that there was much of a fight in the saloon, but Smallwood, who was under the in- fluence of liquor, used the knife without much provocation. The knife was not a large one. Tibeionged toa man named Davis, from whom Smallwood had borrowed it to cut a piece of tobacco. From what the officers learned Smallwood and his companions were in tho saloon when ‘Tenney entered and wade a remark of some fort. ‘Smallwood told him: Dar room.” “You tan't run this ‘THE FATAL BLOW. “Nobody wants to run it.” was Tenney’s re- sponse, and then it was that Smallwood says “I clipped him.” A man named Richardson and the bartender took the knife from Smalli- ‘wood, who ran ont of the suloon in order to escape arrest. The man who was fatally wounded foliowed and ran as far as Government alley, where he dropped dead. Sergeant Harbison, with Policemen Maddox and Hanley, started out to find the murderer and balf an’ hour later they located him at the house of his brother-in-law, No. 1103 23d street. When the house was reached Officer Maddox Femained outside. while his brother officers went in. They found the alleged murderer, who had enough Liquor in bim to make him ugly, and be showed tight SMALLWOOD ARRESTED. Policeman Maddox entered the house when he heard the disturbance and soon had his nip- person the prisoner's wrists. He was then taken to the station and locked np. While in his cell he made numerous statements of the He | derly conduct, | ‘The | THE POLICE FOKCE A New Form of Application Being Prepared General Notes.

Bigelow being his attorney. The complainant states | that he is the proprietor and manager of the | Rapid Transit Messenger Company, with main office at 1435 Pennsylvania avenue, the busi- | ness of which is receiving and transmitting messages, and he had connected therewith a number of call boxes (sixty) in the same elec- tric circuit and also bad an arrangement with the Herdic Phaeton Company and had built up a lucrative trade, and charges that the defend- ant, for the purpose of breaking up his busi- ness at 212 11th street northwest, on November 18 last broke and severed the wire, and he states that he was put to great loss in discover- ing and repairing the break, suffered thereby in his business, &c. —-— Held for the Grand Jury. Samuel Holmes, Henson Herbert, James Bundy and Richard Phillips, a quartet of young colored men, were before Judge Miller in the Police Court this morning charged with house- breaking. Mr. KR. H. Willet, the lumberman, stated that bis office at 15th and B streets was broken into on the night of February 11 and his clerk, John Carney, told what had been stolen from the office, as he was the first to discover the robbery. The stolfp goods were brought into court and included several office coats, # pair of driving gloves and a_pearl-handied pen- holder. A similar charge of housebreaking was made agamst the four for stealing some articles from the office of Mr. Edward Saxton, the con- tractor for the cable road. er R. E. Weeden, a first tective, testified as to the arrest o! recinet de- the young men by him and Detective Raff and the re- covery of the stolen goods. Holmes was ar- rested late Friday night and Lawyer Campbell Carringtox protested against his being kept at the police station until Tuesday morning. Mr. Scharff, bookkeeper and paymaster for Contractor Saxton, testified that on last Thurs- day morning he found their office broken open and two revolvers, a target pistol and a num- ber of other articles stolen. He identified the articles in court, and Mr. Landgraf, a pawn- broker from Georgetown. testified to having received the acticles and identified the men who had been arrested. Judge Miller held the men in $1,000 bonds in each case for the grand jury. a T. B. Reed Republican Association. The T. B. Reed Republican Association of ‘this city held a banquet at their club rooms on E street last night. President Green, after de- livering @ cordial address of welcome, intro- duced Mr. Wm. M. Donnaun of New York, who Predigted that the empire state would cast her electoral vote for the republican nominee no matter who he might be. Messrs. Hugh C of North Carolina and W. W. Johnson of Penn- sylvania also spoke, the latter saying that President Harrison was one of the best Presi- dents that ever sat in the chair; that he had affair, but no two of them were exactly the same. ‘THE AUTOPSY AND INQUEST. Deputy Coroner Schaeffer made an autopsy ‘this afternoon and the inquest was held at 2:30 clock. Fully one dozen witnesses were present at the examination. —__. SUIT AGAINST COUNT SALA. ‘Dr. Wales Seeks to Recover Money Clatmed by Him for Professional Services. Yesterday Mr. George K. French, as counsel for Medical Director Wales, appeared at the clerk's office at the court house with the declaration in a suit against Count Maurice Bala to recover €2,000 for professional servicea. Some doubt was expressed by all in the office atthe time, including counsel, as to whether ‘the defendant Was not exempt under inter- national usage, and it was suggested that some inquiry be made before the case should be docketed, and the case was held up. Mr.Young, ‘the clerk, Capt. Ransdell, the marshal, District Attorney Cole and the chief justice con- sidered the question involved, and finallya statement from the tment of State say- ing that the count, although ‘formerly of the embassy here, was now the consul general to ‘Cuba, was received. There was nothing, there fore, to prevent the clerk from docketing the suit and issuing the writs and this morning the ease was docketed and the writ issued. The complainant also asked a writ to attach the of defendant and a bond of $10,000 was end this was given by Mr. T. E. Roessle of the Arlington, snd the writ was placed in the hands of the marshal ‘this morning. The question now is whether the marshal can le fally attach the goods, and to save him from damage a bond for £5,000 indemnity has. been filed. He will take legal advice before execut- the writ. . Wales was called in June, 1890, to attend the count, who had his right thigh crushed and was otherwise injured, he being then the sec- retary of the French legation. Dr. Wales at- —— | him four months and presented a bill of which the count paid $500, and the doctor now seeks the balance. Dr. Wales states that be bas brought the sc- tion not so much with s view to recovering the money, but as a means of vindicating his pro- fessional treatment of the case, as he claims Count Sala has evaded payment of the balance of $2.000of the bill, alleging in justification he had received unskillful treatment and deen obliged to go abroad for farther sur- . W. V. R. Berry, counsel for Count Sala, today in regard to Dr. Wales’ statement Count Sala would resist this suit for two First, because the bill rendered was bitant in view of the services rendered, | second, that such services were highly un- Count Sala’s injured leg, Mr. Berry says, has Deen left more two ‘inches shorter than ‘the other. Mr. Berry says that Count Sala has notevaded payment of the bill, as fifteen monthsago,two weeks before he leftthe country, shortly after the receipt of the bill, he sent word to the doctor that his bill was far too high and inclosed him a check for #500. This ‘action, he said, was advised by a number of | prominent physicians whom thecount consulted ‘bout the matter. Dr. Wales, he said, had then made no complaint, nor had he done so later ‘when be had opportunity of doing so in Paris. The injury which led to Dr. Waies’ employ- ‘ment by Count Sala was incurred by Count Bala’s attempting to stops runaway horse in front of the Arlington Hotel. Au interesting question raised in the case was whether Count Sala could be considered & foreign diplomat on his way to his ost of duty. He has been in this city several 8, but it is sated that bis long stay here is due to the fact that he could not obtain the sleeping car accommodations to Floriga which he i EEABEE i —_—_ Charged With Crueity to Her Babe.

Johnson Bouldia, a negro who is well ac- quainted with the “ins” and “outs” of prison life, was a prisoner in Judge Miller's court yes- terday. He was charged with threatening the life of his stepfather, John Williams, and @e proof was that he had a pistol to use in putting his | threats in execution. Johuson admitted that he bad a pistol, but said it was so badly dis- abled that it would not shoot. “He's been to the penitentiary two or three times,” remarked the stepfather. “Have you been in the penitentiary?” the Judge asked the prisozer, What for?” ‘Well, I tell you, judge,” answered the pris- over, “L went there ouce for defending my- self. “And how about the other time?” “Tell the truth, I went there that time for “Sie judge required*Jobason to give $200 bonds to keep the peace toward his stepfather or go down for sixty days. ss New York's Yeril of Piague Ended.

HE FINALLY PLEADS NOT GUILTY TO BOTH IN- DICTMENTS—ARGUMENTS MADE BY PRISONER'S COUNSEL IN FAVOR OF POSTPONING THE TRIAL ‘To SOME DISTANT DAY. Yesterday afternoon in the Criminal Court, Justice Bradley, the motion to quash the in- dictment in the case of Howard J. Schneider, charged with the murder of his wife and her brother on January 31, was further argued and Justice Bradley overruled the motion, holding that the indictment was sufficient. The prisoner then plead not guilty to the first indictment, the killing of his wife. ‘The district attorney asked the arraignment on the other (Hamlink) indictmént. Judge Wilson objected, and after some dis- cussion it was decided that he should be ar- raigned today. District Attorney Cole then asked that the case be put down for trial on the 23d instant. Judge Wilson objected, urging the state of public opinion. Mr. Cole said that such should not be the cause for delay. Justice Bradley doubted the “propriety of postponement on such ground. Judge Wilson then handed to the clerk what looked to bea voluminous document, but it was simply an affidavit having the newspaper reports and accounts of the Eomteide, and the prisoner swore to it. SCHNEIDER'S AFFIDAVIT. The affidavit sets out that the date, 23d of February, proposed for the trial is only four- teen days from the death of Amanda M. Schneider and only cleven days from her burial, and that he cannot go erfcly to trial be- cause ‘such is the excitement in the public mind and so excited is public feeling against him that he fears and believes that he cannot obtain a fair and impartial trial, but that if time be givenso that the facts may be brought to the knowledge of a jury of impartial men, uninfluenced by the pressure of public senti- ment, the assertion that he is not guilty, that Le has now solemnity made oath to, will be verified and returned by the verdict of such a jury, and it was filed. The case went over. IN THE MAMLINK MURDER. This morning the prisoner was in the Crimi- nal Court when it was opened and was called on to plead to the indictment charging the murder of Frank Hamlink. Judge Wilson filed a similar motion to quash to that in the first case aud it was overruled and exception noted. ‘The defendant then plead not guilty. The motion to set the first cuse for trial on the 23d instant was taken up and Judge Wilson said that in addition to the aflidavit of defend- ant he would have another affidavit. Mr. Hoebling for the defendant read his affi- davit, in which he states that there are many indictments prior to his; that, his case is at the foot of the docket, &c., and he asserts that if given a fair trial the verdict of the jury will ac- cord with his plea, and asks that a reasonable time be granted to enablo him to have a fair trial. AFFIDAVITS TO BE SUBMITTED. Mr. Hoebling read also the draft of an affi- davit as to the general feeling in the public mind against the prisoner. He also stated that last week he visited six of the leading citizens of the District and they all practically agreed that in the condition of the public mind a speedy trial would be prejudicial to the de- fendant’s interest. And he also read a draft of an affidavit to be sworn to by Mr. T. F. Schneider. Judge Wilson stated that he was requested to attend the inquest on Frank Hamlink, and did so, and that he had buta few moments’ conversation with the prisoner. The following Sanday he saw him at the jail for a short time and it was well known that he had been so en- gaged that ithad been impossible for him to give the attention to the case that he ought to give it before trial. He urged that the trial should be postponed to some reasonable time when the excitement in the public mind should in some degree be allayed. Mr. Hochling followed urging delay, first, because if forced to trial it will be over a large number of cases; second, because it will be without giving him an opportunity to prepare for his defense, aud third, because of the preju- dice in the ages mind. He read a number of authorities in opposition to the motion. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S REPLY. The District attorney followed and claimed that he was not, in asking an early trial, mak- ing an exception of this case. A year ago in March there were twelve homicide cases pend- ing, and there were seven such cases tried dur- ing the year, and now but four were pending. It is said that if tried on the 23d it would be wit thirty days of the date of homicide. This was not without precedent, for in May last the verdict was found eleven days after the date of homicide. In the Sam Moore case he was convicted within 30 days of the murder of Jandorf. He then de- nied that there was undue haste and suggested that in many cases the earlicr the day the more accessible would be the witnesses. He repelled the ides that a fair trial could not be obtained and read several authorities. He denied that the published accounts were calculated to work up asentiment for or against the defendant, and said they were simply a relation of fact for public information. The affidavits did not show. he submitted, such state of feeling as should cause a post- ponement, and in his experience there was no such feeling as would prevent an impartial trial There was nothing more he wanted than a fair and impartial trial, which he believed could be had tomorrow. He wanted the prisoner to have reasonable time to prepare his defense, but not too long a time. Judge Wilson controverted the assertion that thert was nothing to prevent a fair and im- partial trial and urged that the time be fixed at some reasonable date when jurors would notbe affected by the condition of the public mind. THE COURT'S REMARKS. The court said as to the objections to ad- vancing the case over others there was no such thing here asa trial calendar or trial according to the date of docket. It was almost impossible, with all their appli- cations, to keep up with the ordinary jail cases, and bail cases are practically free. It was a crying shame, for which Congress is respon- sible.” They had made repeated appeals for aid and yet are dragging along with the same number of justices (six), while the business has more than trebled, and they were almost una- ble to keep up with the jail cascs. It was ut- terly impracticable to try cases in accordance with the docket entry, and the assignment of cases ia with the prosecuting officer. XO PUBLIC EXCITEMENT. On the point of public excitement he said he made no such remark as was attributed to him in a morning paper, but did say that owing to the many people here and the want of unity among them it would bé impossible to «stimate the existence of pular excitement in the District. As to the filers of prominent citizens to sign the paper presented them he could see @ reason for so doing. They may have seen that they would thereby be inter fering with the court, whose duty was to fix the time, &e. NO SENSATIONAL ACCOUNTS PUBLISHED. It was true that the newspapers have pub- lished accounts of the case and have followed the custom of giving everything of interest, but he failed to see that they have stirred up public eentiment. It was to be regretted that the publications are made, for it renders it difficult to select a jury. He probably moved about in the com- munity enough to know of any excitement, put he had failed to find it as stated. ‘There may have been expressions. indicat indignation, sorrow, &c., but nothing to indi- cate that the public mind is such that a fair and impartial jury could not be had. As for time for pre} tion, he believed that the de- fendant could get ready in a week, but in or- der that there should be no feeling of injustice he would fix the day Monday, March 7. x sel some Jerry Washington Gets Of. Jerry Washington, an old-time darkey, was in the Police Court this morning charged with having written policy. He was given the op- tion of being tried by a jury or by Judge Mil- ler. He chose the latter. ‘The case was dis- missed because the indictment charged that the offense had been committed since January 1 and all the witnemes stated that Wash bad uot written policy since Inst December. RADE REN A Carpenter's Attempted Suicide. Yesterday Patrick Break, a carpenter from THE ROCK CREEK PARK. Action Taken by the House Committee on Appropriations, A HEARING TO BE GIVEN ON FRIDAY TO PERSONS INTERESTED IN THE PROPOSED INVESTIGATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS IN THE PURCHASE OF LAND. ‘The House committee on appropriations will hold a session oftthe full committee next Friday morning at 10:80 o'clock to give a preliminary hearing to persons interested in the proposed investigation of the proceedings in the pur- chase of land for the Rock Creek Park. The hearing will be preliminary to the extent that the committee will afterward determine whether this committee shall consider the fol- lowing resolution or whether it shall be re- ferred to some other comthittee having appro- Priate jurisdiction. ‘THE RESOLUTION. ¥ The resolution was introduced January 13 by Mr. Dockery, by request, and is as follows: U)Wherear Congress did on the 27th day of September, 1890, pass an act entitled “An act authorizing the cstablishment of a public park in the District of Columbia: and Whereas by the terms of said act it was, among other things. provided that the cost of said park, including all expenses incident to the location and establishing of the same, should not exceed the sum of €1,200,000; and Whereas commissioners have been appointed to locate said park and make purchase of the real estate to be embraced therein, and said commissioners have purchased and pid for a large track of enid land; and : Vhereas appraisers have been appointed to appraise the value of lands for said park not purchased by said commissioners; and ‘ Whereas the amount paid by said commis sioners and the aggregate amount of the award: determined to be paid by the said appraisers taken together are largely in excess of the sum of $1,200,000 appropriated for said park; and Whereas the said commissioners and ap- praisers have been engaged for nearly one Fear it past in making condemnation of said land as provided by said act, at great cost and ex- pense to the United States; therefore be it Resolved, That the committee ou appropria- tions be and they are hereby directed to ascer- tain and report to this House: First. The amount of moncy already paid out and expended by said commission and by the United States under said act in proceed- ings thus far had in locating and establishing said park. Second. The amount of money, as near as may be, which it will be necessary to expend to complete the purchase of the land required by said act to be taken for said park. Third. The amount of money, as near as may be, which will be required to make requisite and necesenry improvements to complete said ark. P*Pourth. Whether or not it is deslrable to in- clude in said park a less amount of land than the number af acres selected and designated by said commissioners, viz., 1.990 acres of land. Fifth. The amount of money already paid out and expended by said commission and by the United States in locating said park: Sixth. Such other facts counected with the creation, location and establishment of said park as may in the opinion of said committee be beneficial and imyortant to be ascertained and reported to the House. ‘MR. TRUESDELL'S INQUIRY. The resolution was prepared by Mr. J. A. ‘Truesdell, and when the subcommittee on ap- propriations took it under consideration some time ago, as reported in Tue Star, Mr. Tru dell appeared before them. He asked them if they thought they should consider the resolu- tion in the face of the fact that three of them had voted for the passage of the Hock Creek Park bill. The subcommittee construed this remark as being an impeachment of themselves and they thereupon referred Mr. Truesdell to the full committee. When the full committee met this morning a motion was made by Mr. Breckinridge of the subcommittee to refer the resolution to the House District committce. Mr. Truesdell, who was present by appointment, demurred at this, holding the matter to be ‘properly under the jurisdiction of the appropfiation commit- tee. THE BETTERMENT FUND. The question was raised in committee whether the park commission has the authority to use the betterment fund, raised by assess- ment upon adjoining property, in addition to the $1,200,000 provided by law, for completing the purchase of the park. Mr. ‘Truesdell said he bad recently been in- formed by a member of the commission that they were now contemplating just such action and would probably not call upon Congress for any more money. In view of tliese facts and the statement of Mr. Truesdell that Justice Bradley of the Dis- trict of Columbia Supreme Court and Judge Wilson desire to be heard in this matter the | committee temporarily ignored the motion to refer and agreed toa motion by Repreventa- tive Sayres, to gives preliminary hearing to all parties in interest at the time mentioned above, the result of that hearing to determine further action. — A GOVERNMENT TEACHER KILLED. His Slayer Was Not Held Guilty by an Alaska U. 5. Commissioner. ‘The advocates of temperance, especially those interested in the laws passed by Con- gress to keep the Indiansia Alaska from becom- ing addicted tv drink, will read with indigna- tion a communication just received by the Sec- retary of the Interior from Sitka, Alaska, through the bureau of education. It seems that in the little settlement of Kake, in south- eastern Alaska, the only white man was the gov- ernment teacher, Charles H. Edwards. He dis- covered one day # sloop in the harbor having on board two men who had come there for the purpose of selling whisky to the natives. ‘This Was against the law and Edwards, accompanied by a number of natives, boarded the sloop with the purpose of arresting the men. One of the intruders was seized and bound. He managed, however, to get the use of one hand and drawing'a revolver shot and fatally wounded Edwards. At the inquest which was held by U. S. Commissioner Kogers the latter made the astonishing charge to the jury that Edwards, as be was not a peace officer, had been gutlty of piracy in boarding the sloop in the manner stated. The slayer was in consequence found not guilty; but a8 he had admitted in his testi- mony that he had liquor on board and had given some of it to a native he was discharged on the verbal. promise that he would appear before the grand jury to answer the charge of violation of this law. ‘The writers of the lettors giving an account Of this affair state that the natives are in a de- moralized condition owing to the looseness with which the liquor laws are administered and that some of the government officials are negligent and even corrupt. The request is made that authority be given to government teachers to uct as justices of the peace and that they be allowed ‘a native policeman to assist them in enforcing the laws. ‘The Secretary bas the matter under advisement. oe Need of an Emergency Ambulance. The necessity for an ambulance in connec- tion with the Emergency Hospital was fully demonstrated last night, when Daniel Brooks, young colored man, came near dying for | want of medical attention. Brooks staggered into the second police station about 9:30 o'clock Jest night and fell from exhaustion. He bad an ugly wound on the left side of his hegd, about threo inches long. Tho patrol wagon was out on a call at the) time and ‘& message was sent to the Emergency Hospital notifying the physicians that the wounded man would be sent there. Dr. Atkinson, the resi- dent physician, prepared everything for the reception of the patient, in order to give him immediate treatment, but afterward the doc- tor was notified that’ the man was too near dead to be, removed, and that physicians had been found in the neighborh« to treat him. Had the hospital been supplied with an ambulance the doctor could have responded in a short time with his case of instruments and medicines. Drs. Cox and Nevitt, who happened to be in the neighborhood of the station, attended the man and stopped the flow of blood. ‘The patient was then taken to Freedman’s Hospital. Brooks told the ofticers that he had a quarrel with Richard Williams aud that Williams struck bim with an iron bar.

CIVIL SERVICE AND PATENT OFFICE. ‘Two Views of the Way to Keep the Records of Examiners and Clerks. Some time ago, upon the suggestion of the commissioner of patents, the heads of the va- rious divisions in the patent office held a meet- ing for the pprpose of deciding upon the best plan of putting into operation the sys- tem of rating for employes prescribed by the President and the Secretary of the Interior, A committee was appointed to con- sider the subject, and two reports—a majority and minority—were submitted. The majority Teport was adopted at a subsequent meeting, ‘and copies have been distributed with the w of getting such further suggestions as may be made before the report is fitally pro- mulgated. The majority report says: ““Thatin seeking » mode of applying the instructions containedin the circular of the Secretary of the hiterior, dated January 2, 1892, relative to the keepin; of the recordé of efficiency of employes, to th conditions which obtain in the patent office it is fonnd that portions of said circular which relate to punctuality and attendance Fequire no comment or explanation. That in view of the peculiar conditions of service in the examining corps, of the multi- farious and absorbing occupations of the princi- pal Sxesminers, w “preclude extreme wateh- fulness upon theiPpart and of the data at their comm derived from other official records kept, the method of estimating the records of employes engaged in examining work, under the heads of aptitude, accuracy and ability should be as follows: “The ratings shouidall be determined princi- lly, if not solely, from a consideration of the actual work performed each month by each employe, due regard being had to the quantity, character, difficulty and= quality of the work and the rank of the assistant.” ‘Then follows Suggestions as to the system to be followed and the markings to Le made so as to keep a record of the value and amount of work. _ The report says also: “That clerks employed im examining divisions should be marked in like manner, the plan being varied only so far #8 May be necessary to conform to the different nature of clerical work.” ANOTHER VIEW OF IT. The minority report states “that the presi- dential order applies alike to all persons in the classified service, and that the order of the Secretary requires a daily record to be kept of each individual in regard to each of the seve! elements upon which his rating for efticiency to rest.” To this end the minority report su geste a plan requiring a daily record to be kept of the arrival and departure and of the absence ofeach clerk. The report says: “Prompt and reasonable attention to duty during the ofticial hours of each day is re- quired. Delinquencies by reason of departures from this requirement may arise from (a) abandoument or non-application to work for marked length of time, (b) noticeable absence from the room for unofticial purposes, (c) di- version of his own and other employe's time from their duties by unofticial conversations or acts, (d) persistent listlessness and indifferent application to duties throughout a day. ‘These are properly delinquencies, and it is only just to the employe who is studious and at- tentive to his duties und observes proper decorum that the offender should be marked down. ‘To say that a chief of the division has no time to observe and note these delinquen- cics casts a grave doubt upon his intelligence urfd fitness for his position, for he is charged with the systematic and prompt performance of all the work assigned to his division, and with the continuous employment in a reasonable de- gree of each member of his force. It is im- possible for one of his force to obstruct or re- tard the work by idlenees or inattention to duty without its coming to his notice.” By & course of strict daily marking under various heads the minority thinks “not only will o just und impartial comparative record of each employe as contemplated by this order be made, but individual efficiency will be pro- mated.” —— CITY TRANSIT OF MAILS. The New York Delegation Appears Before the House Committee Today. The delegation of New York business men which yesterday appeared before the Senate post oflice committee came before the House committee on post offices today to urge the passage of the bill to increase postal facilities and expedite the distribution, collection and delivery of mails in cities having ® population of 150,000 or more by the use of pneumatic tubes or other devices. Mr. Graham of the New York Commercial Advertiser in bebalf of the delegation intro- duced Mr. Franklin L. Pope, who explained briefly the mechanical features of the pneu- matic tube and electric systems of trans- ferring mails between city stations, He said that if the members of The committee would recall the noisy, crowd- ing and slow cash Loy system formerly used in great dry goods shops and compare it with the Prevent quiet and expeditious wutomatie cash carrier system they would have a fair idea of the difference between the present system of wagon mail transfer in New York and the me- chanical system the delegation sought to have i troduced. Hesnid that a practical electric single tube system of communicution could be erected between the New York and Brooklyn post of- fices, a distance of about a mile and a half, at acost of £30,000. The electric carriers would travel the distance in less than tour minutes. Postmaster Collins of Brooklyn, in answer to a uestion, said that the municipal authorities of isaac Cine ware réadty Ws tacther tee project, and not a voice would be lifted against it. Mr. Andrew Bryson of New York next ad- dressed the committee in advocacy of the bill introduced by Representative Cianey making an appropriation of $95.00 to construct pneu- matic or electric conneciion between the New York and Brooklyn post offices. He addressed himself particularly to. the explanation of an electric ‘system embodying cars traveling through rectangular metal tubes at a speed of forty miles an hour. His plan contemplated tite use of the elevated railroad structures and the Brooklyn bridge as supports for the tubes, Postmaster Collins requested the committee to consider the needs of these great cities and indorsed the Cluncy bill. He said the outgoing mails from Brooklyn could be closed from a half hour to an hour aad a half later than the present schedule time if the electric system were adopted. ‘The rapid service furnished by the tube woul‘ also increase the postal reve- nues, inasmuch as the local mails would be used at the expense of the telegraph and the telephone. By the use of the tube the danger of losing mail pouches would bereduced. ‘The increased revenue from special delivery letters passing between New York aud Crooklyn would more than pay the cost of operation of the system. Representative Clancy called attention to the fact that his bill left to the Postmaster General the selection of the best device to carry the mails, and ») gs the urgent need for the Hill Delegates From New York. Of the 384 delegates to be selected to attend the New York democratic state convention 276 délegates are outside of New York and Kings counties. At the headquarters of Senator Hill atthe Delovan House in Albany it was given out that 123 delegates outside of New York and Kings bad ly been selected, of whom 120 jare for Senator Hill. The remaining dele- gates will be elected on various days this week. The rush to take up Sapphire ground near Helena, Mont., continues. Rawove Taz Cavez. It is no doubt the correct thing to treat the symp- toms of «disease, but this is not effective unless the cause of the complaint is removed. ‘The sores and ‘eruptions of Scrofula may be healed by mercury and potash treatment, but unless the cause of these aymp- toms ie cleansed from the system, they will return or attack some of the delicate internal organs.
