He ap- peared before Judge Thomas and gave bail. The indictment grew out of the in- vestigation into postoffice affairs made by the Grand Jury. Four indictments were found, all prac- tically alike. Each charges that Driggs between July 10 and July 24, 1900, unlaw- fully agreed to receive and did receive a | $500 check from the Brandt-Dent Com- pany for procuring a contract from the United States Government for making and delivering 250 automatic cashiers for the Postoffice Department. To the first two indictments Driggs pleaded not guilty, reserving the right to plead later to the others, which contain sixteen | counts each, after his lawyer had read | them. Driggs refused to comment on his in-| dictment. He had previously admitted however, having received a salary of $12, 500 from the Brandt-Dent Company for in- | { troducing its machines, but declared that | the work he did for the company was | done before he was sworn in as Congress- | | man, but after his election, and declaring { that he had done nothing to which the | Government could object. The indictments were found under sec- | | tions 171 and of the Revised Statutes | of the United States, which provide for the punishment of any person ‘‘receiv- | ing emolument while in the employ of the | | | Government.” R DENOUNCES THE GUILTY. | | President Sends Terse Letter to the! | Attorney General. | WASHINGTON, June 2i.—The Presi- ! dent has sent the following letter to the | | | Attorney General: | WHITE HOU June 22, 1003.—Sir: As| harges in connection with the Postoffice Department are now being investi- by Fourth Assistant Postmaster General | who has placed at his disposal by | er Generzl every resource of the de- | | | partm including the services of Mr. Robb, | { | whom you detalled from the Department of | | | Justice to the Postoffice Department immedi- 1 the removal of Mr. Tyner.

Osgood presented his resignation as chairman of the board of directors of the Colorado | Fuel and Iron Company at the monthly meeting of the directors to-day. The resignations of Directors Cass and Jerome | were tendered and accepted at the same | time. Mr. Osgood is succeeded as chair- | | man by J. H. McClement and these direc- | tors were elected: F.

The official statement issued after to- meeting says that the temporary culty of the company in failing to | meet its obligations on the Iith inst. was | thoraughly investigated by the directors, who adopted resolutions exonerating the ofiicers and clerks from all blame, as the failure *“was clearly due to a misun- derstanding between the New York and Denver offices.” | Mr. Osgood’s retirement from the direc- | tory and executive committee is only temporary, according to the official state- | ment, and is occasioned by the absence in irope of three directors and the neces- sity of Mr. Osgood's presence in the West. The other Colorado directors “ye- tired to make places for representatives of the new financial interests.” Mr. McClement announced that he would make no change in the policy of the company. The statement concludes as follows: “Mr. Gould and Mr. Osgood stated that there is not now nor has there ever been any friction whatever between them or the interests with which they are identi- fied.” e ——— BUDAPEST, June 24.—Count Hodovary, the Ban of Croatia, has made so much progress in his miseion "of concillating the opposition the | Fe were but iou and re er The said he words of the the Unitec don’t of the 1 | the effortd of the Postotfide Department in this { matter, but the amount of work in the office Is | such as to make it difficult to devote all the {time neccssary to the prosecution of these | 5 | cases.

LONDON, June 24.—As forecast in these dispatches >sterday, the resumption of debate in the House of Commons to-day on the Irish land bill was marked by the in- troduction by Chief Secretary for Ireland Wyndham of an amendment designed to remove the difficulty in regard to the re- tention in use 1 of a provision for a minimum price at which tenants may purchase their holdings and permitting bargains to be made outside of the ju- | dicial zones. The agreement wag hailed on all sides as a great concession. John Redmond de- | clared Wyndham had saved the bill and the amendment was agreed to, amid cheers and general congratulations. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the Liberal leader, joined in the congratulations and the dangerous clause of the bill was adopted without a division. Later Wynd- ham agreed to an extension of the limit of the advances to be made to purchasers of agricultural farms from $25,000 to $35,- 000, The debate in the House to-night was a decided love feast. The evening was spent in the submission of amendments by the Nationalist members, which were suc- cessively debated In an amicable spirit and then withdrawn without division. After the dinner recess Willilam O’Brien presented an amendment putting the evicted tenants upon an equality with the existing tenants. He declared that the clause as it stood looked like a deliberate policy of vengeance toward the evicted tenants and the acceptance of the amend- ment would be a message to Ireland. Wyndham promised to deal with the evicted tenants under clause 48 and said he wau!d double the amount of the ad- vance that the evicted tenants could get. Redmond sald the advance to the evicted tenants was satisfactory, but the rejec- tion of the bill would leave a sore spot and militate against the working of the bill. Clause 2, which deals with advances to the tenants, was then passed. In the discuseion of clause 3, which pro- vides for advances to owners selling their estates, T. P. O'Connor moved to ex- General Wynne or Fourth Assistant Post- master General Bristow provoked much comment in the department. It is be- lieved that Payne has sent a rather sharp reply to Madden. ————— Trunks and Valises.

Other amendments werg offered and afterward withdrawn. Clause 3 was then adopted and the House shortly before midnight adjourned. The newspapers, commenting cn Wynd- ham's concessions to the Nationalists, predict the speedy passage of the land bill through the committee stage. The remarkable change in the situation is welcomed as good augury for the future peace of Ireland, and it is admitted that the danger of the bill being defeated has now been averted. While only three of the thity-six clauses have been agreed to a spirit of comcession prevails on both sides and the crucial points have been passed. The scene in the House of Commons fol- lowing Wyndham's announcement of his amendment regarding the minimum pur- chase price is described as unique in the history of Parliament, the consequence being that the Government’s hand is ma- terfally strengthened by the winning over of the Nationalists. Another result of Wyndham's concession, it is poiuted out, will be the speedy conclusion ¢f the ses- sion and possibly the earlier dissolution of Parliament. — & LADY BOUNTIFUL’S TERRIBLE TEDDIES Exert Their Kindness and the Farmer's Boy Gets Doused in His Own Well.

She says the passengers were saved from death by the heroism of the engineer, who put on the air brakes. “I was returning home with my two sisters,” said Miss Lobenstein. “I had a presentiment yesterday that there would | be some accident befall me to-day. In | tact, T asked a friend of mine to come up country with us. I felt we would be in a wreck or delayed by one. I was de- layed by Sunday's disaster on my way to the city and the farther I proceeded on my trip this morning the more I feared some accident. The train was running awfully fast and seemed to lurch a great deal in rounding every curve. I was sit- | ting in the second passenger coach and when we rounded the first curve I was nearly thrown out of my seat. The sec- ond turn caused me to be thrown out in the aisle. Before we passed Tocaloma one of the brakemen told me we were behind time and must make up some of it.
