Tho bill reported from tho Committee

HOUSE POSTMA8TKK WIIISAT.
no Explains at Length tho Charges of
of Mr. McCord.
Affairs wero progressing peacefully
In tho postofllco of tho Houso of Repre
sentatives this moining. Postmaster
Wheat wns seated at his desk as usual
and Mr. McCord, who formulated the
charges published this morning, was at
tho slamp window. An air of constraint
or lestraint pervaded the room, and
conversation, when indulged in at all,
was carried on in subdued tones. Tho
postmaster was frank in his explana
tions, and spoko with an air of sincerity
which spoke well for tho official. Tho
chiugcsnro contained in tho following
letter
We, tho undersigned employes of tlio
House of Representatives postofllco, mako
tho following charges: That J. L, Wheat,
rostmn6tcr of tho House of Representatives
postofllco, has been guilty of gross Irregu
larities in conducting tho hueluoss of tho
said office, to wit, hlsson, Walter R. Wheat,
is receiving tho pay of two positions, whllo
it Is imposslblo for ono uiau to do tho work
connected with those two positions, and, in
consequence, the work falls upon somo other
cmployo or employes In the olllce; that many
newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets, circu
lars, and ether publications addressed to
members, cx-metnhers. and employes, havo
been thiown in tho waste-paper baskot every
day; that W. R. heat has boon guilty of
opening at least ouo sealed and postage-
Jiairt letter addressed to a member, and J.
j. Wheat was awaro of tho fact within au
hour after it was done; that ho has com
pelled, through fear of dismissal, tho routo
men, to tbo number of thrco, each week to
do work entirely foreign to their regular
work, viz., ono in tbo postofllco to do work
wlilch bis eon should do, and two to do
document-room work, which should not bo
done by any cmployo of tho postofllco. We
bellovothat J. L. Wheat receives pay from
tho document room for this work. Wo fur
ther chargo that bo has shamefully Imposed
upon us in many ways; that bo Is subject to
violent outbursts of temper, is arrogant,
tyrannical, despotic, ovcrboarlng, and in
sulting; that, iu our judgment, he is en
tirely unfitted In every way for tbo position
ho occupies, lacking dignity, executive
ability, and a proper sense of justice. In
conclusion, wo wish to say that tho om
ployes of tho Houeo of Representatives
fostoffico aro poormenondhavostood tboso
mpositlons and insults simply because thoy
could not a fiord to loso their positions
about half of them being married men.
Slost of us resigned good-paying positions,
which wo cannot return to, to accept a po
sition in tho Houso of Representatives post
olllce. Wo urgently ask that an investiga
tion bo made at onco into tbo official conduct
of J. L. Wheat, postmaster of tbo House of
Representatives. . ,
C. J. McConn and fivo others.
Tho gravest accusation of all these
appears to bo tho ono charging tbo
postmaster's son with drawing two
salaries. Tbo explanation Is simple
and ns follows:
Tho postmaster discharged ono of
his employes lor inelllclency. Going
to tbo member of Congress who bad
recommended him ho told him what
had been done and asked him to namo
somebody che. Tho member did so,
but as It would require somo
time for tho now man to get
here it necessitated a temporary appoint
ment, which was made. Tho tem
porary oppointeo knew nothing of tbo
duties he was to perform, so he engaged
young Mr. Wheat as a substitute, his
duties in tho ofllco ending wheu tho
others outside of tbo ofllco began. It is
claimed by both tbo postmastor and tho
young man that tho work on tho routo
was faithfully dono aud that the work in
tho olllco was not neglected. Another
similar caso occurred and young Mr.
"Wheat nctcd as a substitute in that, but
at tho time tho abovo letter was written
(last Saturday) tho new regular man had
arrived, been sworn in and was per
forming tbo duties.
Tho charge concerning tho non-do-llvery
of nowspapcra. circulars, etc., to
members Is explained by tho postmaster
on the ground that tho members them
hers themselves object to having their
malls encumbered with such stuff.
"When such matter comes to persons not
in tho city it cannot bo forwardod, tho
postmaster says, ana so goes into mo
waste-basket.
Tho charge that three routo men wero
compelled to do additional work is ex
plained by tbo Postmaster Iu this wiso:
Tho man alleged to bo detailed to
do work young Wheat should
do does work Mr. McCord for
racily did, but which ho
was relieved from to glvo all bis tlmo
lothosaloof stamps and tbo caro of
registered matter. Tho two men al
leged to ho doing documont room work
aro detailed to tako to tho City Post
ofllco tho extra books and other
public documents which accumulate
during tbo day beyond tho capacity of
ono wagon to haul, anothor wagon be
ing brought into sorvlco. All tbo em
ployes in tho ofllco, tbo postmaster says,
tako turns about at this work and It
is but slight addition to tholr other
work.
Tho Tostmastor says thero ought to
bo two additional men on llio fonv, but
ho has been advised by tho Committee
on Accounts to get along with tho pros
cnt force and ho Is doing It. Of course
no pay is received from tho document
room for this work, tho Postmaster
snys, as It Is strictly postolllco work.
As to tbo oponlng of a scaled and
stamped cnvolopo addressed to Mr.
Cowlcs, which young Mr. Wheat
opened, It is claimed by both liltmelf
and tbo Postmaster that ho has
oiders from Mr. Cowlcs to put
in his box nothing except letters anil
bis homo papers. As this envelope evi
dently contained printed matter it was
stopped and opened. Its contents wero
an ndvcttlscment printed in cardboard.
Mr. Cowles, it Is claimed, said ho had
dono right.
Mr. McCord said ho had nothing fur
ther to say at present. Ho would
slmjily add that ho had
made no chargo which would
not bo proven upon Investigation. Tho
names of tboso joining him in making
tbo charges wero not ready to bo made
public. Thoy would become known on
investigation.
A NKW PRINTING OFFICE.
Tho Committee or Congress Favorable
What I'ulillo Printer Palmer Bays.
Chairman Russoll of the Houso Com
tnltteo on Printing will soon Introduco
n bill to appoint a commission to dovlso
plans and specifications and to select a
sito for tho erection of a handsomo
building for thouso of tho Qovornmcnt
Printing Ofll co. Tho present building
Is a veritable death-trap and totally un
fit for its present use. It was never
intended for a mnmraouth printing es
tablishment such as it has grown to be,
and its present slzo has been attained by
enlarging tho building from time to
time. Tbo Senate and Houso Commit
tees on Printing havo agreed that a now
building is imperatively demanded, but
they havo delayed action on account of
other legislation that has bad tho right
of way. A CniTio reporter called at
tho Printing Ofllco Saturday and had a
talk with Public Printer Palmer about
the necessity for a now building. Said
tho Public Printer:
"No ono will deny that a now build
ing should bo built. This structure
contains somo of tho most vahublo
documents and records of tho Govern
ment, the loss of which could novcr bo
replaced. Tho groatest regard for llfq
and limb is exercised in tho building,
but I should not llko to think of the
result that would follow a flro. Tho
Senators and Members tell mo thoy
know it thnt Congress should provide
for a fire-proof building especially con
structed for the uso of n printing ofllce.
You know only ono half of this build
ing is llre-proot. Mho appointment 01
a commission to deal with tbo matter
would, in my judgment, bo just tbo
thing, and it would be economy to havo
tho question settled as soon as possible.
Such a new building would add greatly
to tbo city. Tho work of tho ofllco in
creases every week, and the result is wo
aro crowded for space. I cannot say
whether Congress will mako an appro
priation for a new building this session
or not, but I hope so, aud I feel that
when tho Houso takes up the question
it will go through with a good major
ity." INTERSTATE COMMERCE DECI8ION

Tho Interstate Commerco Commis

This case involves tho question of
the lawfulness of free cartago of freights

of business, when such free cartago isnot
given to shippers at another station on
tho same lino taking tho samo grouped

THE ATHENIANS OF GEORGIA
Urop Tholr Itoycott Against Wnna
m nil er nnd co to Petitioning.
A numerously-signed petition from
tho citizens and businessmen of Athens,
Gn., has reached Postmaster-General
Wnnamakcr, praying that tho appoint
ment of Madison Davis to tho postofllco
In that city bo withdrawn. Davis is a
colmcd politician, aud tho petitioners
allege that ho is both illltorato and
untrustworthy. Athens is a town of
10,000 inhabitants, , and is tbo scat
of tho State University, besides tho
centre of a largo trade, retail and
wholesale. Among other complaints
set forth In tho petition Is ono to tbo
effect that every railroad mail agent
on tho roads controlug in upon Athens
Is a negro, nnd that Davis' appoint
ment will practically surrendor tho
wholo postal'scrvlco of tho city into tho
hands of that raco.
It will bo recalled that, at tho tlmo
this Davis nomination was announced,
that tho merchants of Athens resolved
on a boycott on Wanamakcr's goods,
nnd other Southern towns, who wero
threatened with similar appointments,
wero not slow to tako tbclr cuo from
this action on tho part of tho Athens
deadlock. Tho appointment has bung
so long in tho Senate committee that it
appears tbo Athenians havo dropped
the boycott Idea and adopted tho moro
sensible ono of appeal.

"In Baltimore, your Honor."
"Well, you had bettor bo getting

A STRIKE THREATENED.
WASHINGTON WORKMEN WANT AN
EIGHT-HOUR DAY.
Tho Kircrvoscont SituationTalks With
Ilosscs nml Workers I.nhor Trou
ble Eluewhoro 4,000 Stoolt-Yarcl
Employes to Strike,
A man with a modest little badgo on
tho lapel of his coat, bearing In whtto
enamel simply tho llguro "8," entered
Into nn earnest discussion this afternoon
ith some of tho workmen at tho now
stiucturo which Is going up at
the corner of Eleventh and G streets.
The whllo flguio "8" indicated that tbo
man wns In tho eight-hour movement
for keeps. Indeed bo was discussing
that very matter when a Crime
reporter camo up. This movement
Is "on" here, and it is currently
reported that all the building trades,
but principally tlio bricklayers, carpen
ters, and plasterers, will demand on May
1 that thereafter eight hours bo consti
tuted a day's labor. Should there bo a
refusal to accede fo these terms on tho
part of tho employers, then It Is said a
general striko will bo ordered through
out tho District.
A demand of this sort was mado to
Chairman Fanning of tho labor com
mlltco of tbo Building Exchnngo somo
tlmo sinco nnd tho matter has been held
in abeyance, It was submitted to tho
exchange at tho time, but no dcflnlto
action has as yet been agreed upon.
Tho saws of tho carpenters wero
buzzing right merrily and tho brick
layers' trowels clanging cheerily in sev
eral buildings visited by a CniTio re
porter to-day, but when the men wero
asked about tho proposed striko thoy
only looked wiso and gavo ovaslvo
answers. Their manner, however, be
tokened that thero was something In the
wind.
Ono of tho knights of tho trowel did
say that thoy wanted eight hours nnd
Hint tho demand was only fair and
right.
"Look at tho Government clerks and
mechanics," he said. "They only work
six nnd soven and "eight hours. Why
.aro they entitlcd'to any moro consider
ation than wo are? uur eyes aro turned
towards tbo "West. "We aro watching
tho great building striko In Chicago,
and I can say that as goes Chicago, so
goes tho whole country."
Mr. G. II. Furton of 1100 K street,
one of the largest building contractors
In tho city, said thn men gavo notice
somo limo ago that there would bo
a demand or strike for eight
hours and ho believes that
a majority of tho employers will
grant the request for tho reduction of
time nsked. Ho docs not bellevo. how
ever, that tho men should demand nino
or ten houis' pay for eight hours'
work.
"Tho Government only works its
men eight hours," he said, "anil the
men in private employ want tho same.
Olhcrwlso wo could not keep men
when there Is a Government demand
for them. They would leave us for the
Government job I thlnit the matter can
bo amicably arranged, and hopo so, for
this is tho practical beginning ot tuo
building season and a striko would
work great damage at this time. I
think if tho Chicago striko Is success
ful eight-hour strikes will bo inaugu
rated all over tho country. Tho Wash
ington men may wait for tho Chicago
outcome."
Tbo organized carpenters will hold
a meeting this evening at their hall,
corner of Seventh and L streets north
west, and It is said that important ac
tion will bo taken in rcferenco to the
eight-hour movement.
"Tho Hod-Carriers' Union will go
with tho bricklayers," said a member
of that organization this afternoon.
""Wo all want eight hours and I bellovo
we will get It."
Tbo bricklayers now receive 4.50 for
nino hours' work, and tho proposition of
certain bosses to allow eight hours and
rcduco the pay to l will not, It is said,
be accepted. Tho men appear to want
eight hours and no reduction, nnd thoy,
somo oi tucm, say tuey win buck
for it.

refuse positively to engage men who

In the two hundred years which have
elapsed since it became a homo of tho
white man tho old manorial mansion
and estate known as Marshall Hall,
lying on the Maryland shore of tho
Potomac, almost directly opposite to
Mount Vernon, novcr looked moro
beautiful than it does to-dny. It is
bravo with paint and gay with color as
it lies beneath tho clear, brilliant sun
shlno of this crisp April ntmosphere.
Colonel McKlbbcn and Captain Blake
havo spared neither troublo nor money
to supply whatever was needed to bring
about a result so pleasing. Since these
gentlemen have taken possession of
Maishall Hall it has advanced to tho
flrsjt placo among our near by river ro
sortB. Last season no one was able to
find fault with either tbo arrangements
or management of tho Hall. But tho
owucis concluded tbey could do oven
better, and thoy have succeeded in beau
tifying aud adorning tho dclighful place
in tho most charming way.
And wheu they get their new boat,
tho McAllister, limning, which will be
about May 10, nothing will bo lacking
to mako Marshall Hall oven moro a

is. Tho new boat will add spoed to tho

Mother and Three Children In a Fiery
Furuuco,
Milwaukki:, Wis., April 28. Fire
started In n small two-story frame
building this morning at tho corner of
State and Fifth streets, tho lower part
of which was occupied by Robort Vlr
tcl's grocery nnd the upper part as living
rooms. Tho houso was soon enveloped
in flames and several minutes passed
before a ladder could be found and
placed against tho window to rcscuo
Mrs. Virtel and her thrco children.
Before tho ladder could be raised Mrs.
Virtel, with ono child in her arms,
jumped to tho ground. It was then
learned that two other children woro
still in tbo building and a man, dash
ing up tho ladder, succeeded In drag
Ing out one of tbo little girls.
Then ouo of tho firemen went up and
managed to get tho youngest child, who
was horribly burned. The mother was
bndly burned and sustained painful In
tel nal injuries by her jump. It is
thought tliit none of tho injured will
ti cover. Mrs. Virlel's husband is at
picrent on a visit to St. Imls.
At noon it was stated at tbo Emergency
llospiial, where the family of Robeil
Vlr lei were taken, that the 8-year-old

will die, but tbo mother and the other
children, though severely binned, will

from coal royalties nlono reaches a
quarter of a million dollars. Ono mem
ber of tbo family Is McDonald D.
Shoemaker, whoso income is about
20,100 a year. Ho is about 110 years
of age. Until very recently it had
been understood that McDonald was to
wed n daughter of one of tbo wealthiest
men heie. Suddenly tho young man
changed his mind, aud declared that ho
would marry a poor girl ono who could
assist him " in caso of adversity, nis
relatives wero very indignant when they
learned of McDonald's' Intentions, and
even went so far as to petition tho court
to inquire into tho young man s sanity.
IIo was determined, however, and ono
day last week bo took a train for Elmira,
in company with Annio Lawrence, a
young woman who had formerly been
employed as a housekeeper. AtElmlra
tbey wero quietly married.
On Saturday Shoemaker returned
with bis brido to "Wllkosbarro, intend

when Shoemaker attempted to enter tho
houso tho uncle knocked him down,
blackened his eyes nnd kicked him Into
the gutter. Shoemaker has since had
his undo arrested. There is groat ex
citement over the matter In aristocratic

failing to accomplish his end, rushed
madly down to tho canal aud ended his
life by drowning, or that ho lias been
tbo victim of somo scoundrel of tho

BUCKET SHOPS BULLED.
LOCAL STOCK BROKERS SUSPEND
PAYMENT TO-DAY.
Due to n Smldon Rlso In Stocks nail
tho Fnllnrii of Now York nml
I'lttshurg Firms Relieved to lis
Only Temporary,
There is mourning to day among the
speculators who patronize Washington
bucket shops, for, with tho exception of
two of tho brokeis' establishments, they
hnvo censed business. Whothcr this
suspension Is only temporary or not is
tho question that Is ngitnting tho mind
of the unlucky individual who expected
to garner a harvest from tho unexpected
rise in the stock market. It was this
rise that brought about the crisis
and has forced tho brokew to the wall.
Tbo rlso was so sudden nnd unexpected
that tbo larger houses had no time to
get out safely, and tbey carried the
smaller ones who traded with them into
tbo financial consomme.
Thcp&tionsof these places, and their
names are legion, nro hanging around
tho outer doors nnd vainly endeavoring
to And out when they will be nblo to
get back some of tho money they havo
invested. They aio satisfied to lot tbo
profits they would have made go If they
wero able to get back even a propor
tion of the original investment, but
tbey aro met with disappointment on
this score. The brokers are not paying;
each other, and It Is not unreasonable
to believe they would pay the public
that has been paying tbo piper in tho
last slock raid. 'Neither the bulls nor
the bears aro happy, but tho latter have
tbo consolation of being losers without
prospects, while the bulls did win, anil
yet because of that fact aro deprived of
their earnings.
The failures were causod by that of
the big New York fitin of Owen,
"Wright & Co. and that of a largo Pitts
burg firm with which most of the local
dealers had connections. In addition
to this most of tbo New York bucket
shops "laid down" on tho market and
refused to make their payments.
The general feeling this afternoon
was that the local brokers would get
out all right and be nblo to resume
within a day or so. "Whether they will
or not remains to be seen, but at all
events tbo speculators havo been given
a scare they will not soon forget.
The brokers themselves aro very re
ticent about tho matter, and whllo ad
mitting that many of the establish
ments hnvo suspended very politely
relusp todhcuss the situation nnd the
future outlook. Very little informa
tion could bo obtained from them
us to the causes for the general failure
of stock brokers in this city, but they
all seem sanguine that the suspension
is merely temporary, and that buslnes
will be resumed very shortly.
