ernment thit merit careful study bv tho mom

madoacontrnctwlth tho Tubular Dispatch Com
pany to the amount of 1 18,500 a yoar, and
It la alleged by tho bond floaters of tho
Tabular Dispatch Company, "has arranged
an agreement with tho company for
connecting tho Tost Offlco with all ub
Post Ofllces and with tho principal rail
way stations at $350,000 per annum, pay.
able quarterly." Moroover. theso farts may
iUKest 'no Propriety of Congress domandlnir
an explanation from the Post Offlco Depart'
mentof how tho contracts camo to bo entered
Into and how an "agreement can bo arranged"
for tho expenditure of double the amount of
money that tho department has askod Congress
to" appropriate.
When tho last contract for carrying tho malls
about New York olty. and to and from the rail
road stations to tho Gcnoral Post Ofllce. expired
the United States Government, through tho
Post Offlco Department, awarded the contract to
two new contractors for $210,000 a year. That
contract Is In existence to-day, and the con
tractors are drawing their pay quarterly. Tho
1 report of the Second Assistant Postmaster
General for 1807 contains nlso tho following:
"November 27. 1800. With tho United
Btates Mall Packet and Gcnoral Pneumatlo
Delivery Company for Pneumatic Tube Mall
Service between tho main Post Offlco In Brook
lyn and the main Post Ofllce In New York (over
the Brooklyn Drilled for a term of four years
beginning Aug. 27,1807, at a compensation of
J14,000pcrnnnura.
"March 25, 1807. With tho Tubular Dispatch
Company for a pneumatic tube moll service In
New York city bctweon the main Post Offlco and
station P in tho Produco Exchange building;
also between the main Post Offlco and station II,
Forty-fourth street and Lexington avenue, via
stations D, Madison square, and F. for tho term
from Oct. 1, 1807, to June 30, 1001, at a com
pensatlon of $118,500 per annum."
These two contracts, it will be noted, havs no
connection whatever with tbo other contracts
for the carrying of the mail. The amounts ap
propriated, namely. $11,000 and $118,500, are
In addition to the $210,000, which is paid
for carrying all tho mall. That is to say,
the Post Office Department voluntarily in
creased the cost of handling the mall in Now
York city and between New Tork and Brooklyn
by $162,500 a year. This at a time when the
department was running behind and when Con
gresa committees deemed it absolutely neces
sary to reduce tho number of carriers in ths
city to bring the expenses of tho department
within the appropriation.
In accordance with this contract, tho Tubular
Dispatch Company has constructed a lino of
tabes from the Produce Exchange to tho
General Post Offlco and from tho General
Post Office to Station II via tho threo
stations named in the contract. Tho line
from the Post Office to the Produco Exchango
has been in operation since Oct. 15 last. Tho
line from the Post Offlco to the Grand Central
Palace Is not in operation yet. though John E.
Miiholland and the Tributu promised a week
"Bt-Othat It woulffbe opened before last Sunday.'
The contract for tho line across ths bridge,
though awarded to tho United States Mall,
Package, and General Pneumatlo Delivery
Company, is to-day In the possession of tho Tub
nlir DIsnatch Company. It Is not necessary to
nterinto the details of that transaction hero.
The Sun has already printed a detailed state
tnsat, made by the Post Offlco officials, about
the work of the line of tubes In operation be
tween Btatlon P and tho General Post Office.
In brief that statement was that tho tubes had
carried the letter and post rard mail between

IT Ir01.1 MliWOO a year for doing $3,835
worth of work. It Is asserted that the Improve
nient in the service Is worth the money: that
tho mall is handled so much quicker: that It
takes only threo minutes to go from tho General
Post Offlos to Station P. Vhat good does It do
tp get the mall from onnPost Olflcoto nnother
If when It renehes tho ofllce from whloh It Is to
be delivered there Is no one to deliver it I Tbo
letter carriers start on their route every half
hour. The wagon service from tho Produoo Ex
change to tbo Post Ofllce Is half hourly. A wagon
starts from sach place that often. The achndiilo
111? b2t.w.e.on P'ee l flftren minutes. With half
of $112.0,5 tho wagon sorvloe could bo Incrcasod
to wagon every five minutes, and thero
would be enough money left to hlro seventy
"o additional carriers, the result of which
would be thnt carriers would start every
fljteen minutes Instead of evory half hour nncl
tho service would bo increased ten-fold.
Tho other half of the $112,075 would onablo
the establishment of rt ton or fifteen miniito
wagon service from the Grand Contrnl Palaco,
and from what was left more than seventy-Mvo
carriers could bo added to the carrying force.
This would assure both uptown nnd downtown
quick er delivery by far than can be mado now
with the tubes and the present force of cnrrlors,
and. more than that, it would mean tho quick
dollvery of all the mall and not of a quarter of
it, for the wagons carry everything.
Dut tho worst la to como. The Government is
paying twice as muoh to the Tubular Dispatch
Company for service not half so good ns It
cotild get not a quarter so good, ln f act.
Here Is an offlolal report signed by high of
ficials. It was made Feb.25, 1890:
" The committee mot in Philadelphia on the
morning of the 21th Inst., and after a prelimi
nary conference went to East Burlington, N. J..
to see the plant of the Company. The
committee found a very spacious plant ln opera
tion in practical working form. The tubo was
21 Inches in diameter, and tho oxoerimentnl
length covered nbout 2.100 feet; that is. tho
tube ran out from the main station to
point about 1,200 foet away, where it
described loop on a 10-foot radius, and then re
turned to iho homo station, Thero were sov
oral Ys and switches at tho homo station. Into
any ono of which tho iron carriers could be
Sulded, thus showing the practicability of
Ivcrtlng the carrlors Into side stations on
any actual working line that might bo
established. Tbe carrier consisted of an
Iron cylindrical tube about 3 feet long, weigh
ing about 150 pounds, and carried on wheels
nbovo and below. This carrier v as sent through
the tube by air pressure. It could then
be bepught baok in ths reverse direction
to the initial point by auction. Several
tests wero made to determine ths rate of
spaed, and it was found that the round
trio of 2,100 feot ono way was mado
in flfty seconds, or nt tho rote of about thirty
three miles per hour. It was also demonstrated
that the return round trip ln the other direc
tion bv suction was nlso made In about llftv soc
onds, thoro being no nppreclablo dlffcronco In
the rate of speed whethor tho carrier' was pro
pelled by pressure or suction.
"The motive power was furnished by the
twenty-horso power engine at sixty pounds
pressure A SDoclnl test was mado by sending
through three carrlors successively, one t an
interval of ten seconds behind tho first and the
third nt an Interval of fifteen seconds. All threo
went through ln nbout titty seconds, nnd upon
their emergence at tbo otborendof tho line it
was noted that tho Interval between tholr suc
cessive arrivals was in accordance with tho in
tervals allowed at tbo departure.
"Atlnaltest of spoed was mado with tho en
gine showing 100 pounds pressure and a single
carrier was sent over the round trip In thirty
two soconds. this being nt tho rate of ovor flfty
mllea an hour.
"All tho teats mado were very successful, and
it ought to bo said In justice to the company
that tbo tubular carriers woro not operated
under tho most favorable conditions. In the
first place the tnbe was laid upon tho soft
ground, and was therefore, subject to surh
deflections as would bo caused by frost. Tho
carriers had also been roughly constructed
and had been through a great deal of use, nnd
were, therefore, not In the best condition possi
ble for the best results. However, notwithstand
ing these drawbacks, which nre alluded to in a
spirit of fairness, tbe exhibition showod that tho
plant of tbo Pneumatic Dispatch Company could
accomplish all that was claimed for it.
The manager, Mr. , stated it was
tho opinion of their experts that such a
tube could be operated without relay over a
distance of six miles, and possibly over ns groat
distance as ten miles, although he did not
claim anything beyond sir miles. He nlso
claimed that a tube of any reasonable diameter
could be constructed, and. that any desired
pcoa coma ue oominea, mis Doing aquoillon
merely of tho power used. We. therefore rec
ommend Its adoption and use.
"The commltteo. after having concluded its
examination of this plant, proceeded to New
York, and on tbe morning of the 25th lust, had
a conference with Mr. , who represented
Mr. , the gentleman who made tho proposi
tion to the department to build and put
ln operation on eight-Inch tube between
tho New York Post Office and tbo Brook
lyn Post Office via tbe Brooklyn Bridge, itt
an annual rental of $11,000 for a term of four
years, or an annual rental of $10,000 for twenty
tsars. During tho conference the commltteo
ecame well aatlsflcd that Mr. nnd his
representatives understood tho pneumatic tubo
system thoroughly, and that they would build
and tender to the department tho uao of a
line capable of Derforming tho service nccossnry
between the offices named ; cutting ln tho plant
at tbelr own expenso and without expecting tho
department to lease the use of the same from
them until they demonstrated to the depart
mint that it would accomplish what they
clalmod for it; In fact, that It would prove en
tirely satisfactory to tho department after re
peated testa.
" Your committee, ln view of this fact, has
tbe honor to state that after a very mature con
sideration and careful examination It believed
the proposition made by Mr. is practical
and fair, and, therefore, recommend It for your
favorable consideration. It seems nocessary. In
view of tho future great possibilities of tho pneu
matic system and necessity of providing
improved facilities for rapid mall communica
tion, to express regret that the proposed tube
between the New York and Brooklyn Pout
Offices could not be niude of greater diameter
than eight Inches; but It Is understood thit
tbla dimension Is absolutely restricted by tho
refusal of tho Brooklyn Bridge trustees to per
mit a heavier weight to bo Imposed upon tho
bridge structure, very respectfully,

Tho company referred to ln tbla report got one
contract. It dickered with tbe Government for
a contract to build tbe lines of tubes that the
Tubulnr Dispatch Company has since built.
Tim SUN Is Informed by officers of this company
that tbe company volunteered to build tho Hoes
and toleaso them to the Government for $75,000
a year, that is, a very little more than half
of the amount that Mllboltand's company is to
receive for the tubes: but the difference ln
money, great as it is, is overshadowed by the
difference In the tubes that are In now and the
tubes that were to be put In for $75,000 a year.
These tubes that were to be put in were
to be two feet square; they were to bo
ablo to carry the largest sack nf mall that the
Government sends out from tbe Post Ofllce;
they were to be capable of handling 5,000 sneks
of malls day between the Goneral Post Office
and the Grand Central Station; not the Grand
Central Palace, but tho railroad station. Thoy
were to be sufficient to carry not only tbe first
class letter and postcard mall, but tho second,
third, and fourth class mall : thero was to be nodls
crimination. At tho time that this company was
conferring with thnOovrrnuiort about this con
tract tho amount of mall to bo ..nrrlrd ' is gono
Into carefully, mid It was clodded by tho offi
cials of tbo oompauy and ngreod to bj tbo Gov
ernment officials that two-foot tubes would
carry tho groat bulk of nil tho mall, .Mr.
Nellion, tho Pec nnd Assistant Postmns
ter-General, Insisted, so The Hl'.s' is In
formed, that tbo tubes should bet four feet
square Instead of two feet, Mr. Nellcon was
Heconcl Assistant Potmater-Ociiernl when the
Gqvernmcnt, through hla dopnitnient, con
tracted with tho Tubulnr Dlspalih Company to
fut ln H-lnch tubns that won't carry nny

Wilson and bis department
agreed to give $118,300 n year for that service
v lien Uio two foot tubes could hue been had for

Lillian Russell's newest Incitement of puhllo
interest is a trap drawn by four spirited horses.
She handles the reins herself, her driving toilet
Is fine, her OTOom Is In lively livery, nnd as this
oqulpago dashes through tho Back Bay streets
of Boston It gots more attontton than a circus
parade could command.
It Is Indeed n cold dnv when Anna Held gets
loft out of exploitation. Her prlvato car was
snowed in nt Providence, and It is surmised
that shovels helped tho wind heap up in the
night a drift from which sho hail to bo dug
next day just In tlmo for a matlnde.
Drama nnd vnudovllto nro getting along
amicably together on somo stages, nnd not al
ways through tho uso of short plays ln associa
tion with greater quantities of variety. A now
stock company at tho Park, Philadelphia, Is
giving "East Lynno" this week, with Wilton
I-nckayo, McKco Itankln, Iloso Eyttngo, Nonce
O'Ncll, and Court noy Barnes in tho cast, and
with specialists doing turns between the acts.
Tho tragio drama of "Carmen," as presented
in tho West with "tho emotional actress, Miss
Wallnck," In tho tltlo role, contains an nlabo
rate danco in the style of Carmonclta, but with
distinct departures Into scrpentlno nnd :oucheo
couchco, by that same emotional actress.
It turns out that Henry Ouy Carleton did not
let himself down In writing a play for James J.
Corbott, but pullod tho pugilist up. "The Ad
venturer," as dcscrlbod ln Western cities,
where Corbott Is acting In it, is a polite comody,
with no prlzo fighting and no rowdy element.
It is snid that Corbott aspires to become ;
quite legitimate actor.
Tho good humor of New York and tho resent
fulness of San Francisco aro in contrast. Wil
liam II. Crano onco talked facetiously Into a
phonograph, after having played an engage
ment ln tho Western city, nnd cracked jorolcss
jokos about It. Ills remarks got Into print,
and upon his next visit to tho Pacific const the
popular comedian had to explain beforo ho was
forgiven. Helena Modjcska, after her last en-
?:ngemcnt boro, declared positively, and for pub
Icatlon, thnt New York taste was low In the
atricals, that .either our critics nor our audi
ences appreciated Shakespeare, and thnt sho
would never, never act for us again. But here
sho Is nt tho Fifth Avenuo, and tho critics und
the audiences are as kindly as ever to tho groat
artist.
Clydo Fitch and Bernard Sha-v nro in rivalry
ln Chicago with dramas which end Ln haug
mnn's nooses. Mr. Fitch's is "Nathan Hale,
with N. C. Goodwin as tho condemned hero,
whilo Mr. Shaw's is "The Dovll's Disciple."
with Richard Mansfield. It is patriotically
pleasant to know that tho American s composi
tion is far worthier as literature than tho Eng
lishman's absurd achievement, which owes Its
success here altogether to Mr. Mansfield.
Charles Mnckoy jabbed J. II. Gllmour's head
with a sword ln a Boston performance of "Tho
Prisoner of Zenda." nnd the piny was short
ened by two or threo minutes with real blood
shed beforo n greatly excited audience. But
tho next morning's journals quieted the breath
less approhcnslon of tbe city by telling that the
wound win) the merest ecrutch.
Edgar L. Davenport is the composer of a
fubllshed ballad called "Thee." James A.
lorne preached what ho doscrlbed as lay ser
mons in two Chicago churches, and devoted
thorn to advocacy of Henry Georgo's land and
tax theories. Frederick Wardo lectured ln the
tamo city on Shakespearean plays and acting,
and Otis Skinner did tho same thing ln Wash
ington. Richard Mansfield's latest address
w as an attack on music halls and a defenco of
tho legltlmato stage.
Ono of the wise things in the manage
ment of tho Castle Square Opera Company Is to
niako up casts from singers who have not
boen associated with previous ventures hero
w ith English opera. Many of thoBe attempts
have failed, largely on account of the foreign
accents of tho artists. As a rulo Italian and
German contested In them, but French was
occasionally represented. Tbe franker course of
letting tho singers uso their native tongues a as
sometimes follow cd and then tho result was less
dlsconcortlng, for no time was lost ln tho effort
to Identify tho varloUB accents an effort which
on somo occasions furnished considerable diver
sion. Tho Castlo Squaro management took its
singers from operetta. No call was made on
that old guard which used to encamp every
year as regularly as the soring came at tho cor
ner of Eighth avenuo nnd Twenty-third street.
Thero aro certain names it nould bo rude to
mention them that might bavo wrecked cvon
the well-conducted fortunes of the enterprise at
the American. The good effect of this plan Is
seen as much in the character of tho perform
ances as ln the size of the audiences. Doubt
less some of that old group could sing a great
deal better than tho younger persons now on
the Btage there, but they would not havo con
descended to take a real Interest ln tbe per
formances or to havo noted with conscien
tious cure. Another wIho thing done nt the
American Is to supply the productions with
adequate sconcry nnd costumos. Tho Inciden
tal reuturos of the mountings arc not elaborate
but they are generally fresh and always appro
priate. "Martha," which is the opera tills week,
ixhiblts tho good qualities of the company. Tho

Alexander Sllotl, the Russian pianist, gnve
his (lrst recital nt Mendelssohn Hall yesterday

splendidly equipped technician. All of the best
players ure ho well trained now In thnt direc
tion that technical perfection has como to bo
expected from almost all of Iho greater per
formers who play In this country. Most of
tin-ill do poiscsi that and It Is In their revela
tions nf other qinlltles that ho.ircrs nro nccus
1 tonus! to search for tho highest expression of
the pianist's ability. It Is In tbo emotional sldn
of his playlns that M, Silott Is least Intoresting.
Of his entire mastery of ovory technical clement
of his an there con bo question. Ills supeib
playing of Unit's -fourtcento rhapsody, which
closed tbe programme yesterday. Wouldlavo
UStUedanj doubt on that point, and this plfUou
lor number was Indeed a splendidly brilliant
In tne Chopin and Beethoven selections,
which Includeifthe ballad in A flat major and
Etude No. 7 and Beethoven's sonata In K major,
there was neither such brilliancy of execution
nor ovldent appreciation, and tbov belonir to
that phaso of M. Sllotl's playing which is most
likely to lead one to doubt his right to bo classed
nniong tbe greatest players of tbe day.
But the second part of tho programme, made
up wholly of Russian compositions, placed M.
Sllotl nt his very best, and that is n lofty height,
Theso numbers Included works by Rachmani
noff. Glazounoff, Arensky, Macloft and Tschal
kowsky. Tbey woro played with tho fullest
sympathy, appreciation nnd effect, ln somo of
them, notablv tho paraphrase of Tschalkowsky's
"Eugen Onegln," t. Sllotl's playing was splen
didly powerful. Ho Is an agreeable-looking
mnn, who might, undor fnvorablo circum

than any foreign pianist since Pndorow-skl, nncl
tbo deficiency most likely to interfere with that
is.hls lack of sentiment.

Plncus Goldberg moved before Justlco Pryor
of the Supreme Court yesterday to enjoin
Barney Grccnberg from carrying on the busi
ness of a dancing academy In tholr joint names
at 113-115 Suffolk street, pending an action to
dlssolvo tho copartnership and for the appoint
ment of a receiver. The following copartner
ship agrooment wis presented to tho Court with
the statement that tholr only business was that
of teaching dancing:
"Tho said parties nbovo named have agreed
to become copartners in tho business of dancing
masters and dancing academy, nnd by theso
presonts do agree to become copartners under
and by the name and firm of Goldberg & Green
berg in tho buying, vending and selling of all
sorts of goods, waros and merchandise to tho
said business bolonglng."
Counsel for the defendant said that ho never
heard of dancing masters having such an agree
ment before, as tbey had nothing to sell except
tbelr nlmblo leas. Counsel for the platntlfT said
that Iho Contract was the usual one einployod In
business affairs on tho east side and was in
tended to cover any business. Ills client bad no
opportunity to try business undor it, ho said,
because as soon as ho put $150 into the enter
prise he was put out on tbe street.
Justlco Pryor denied the motion, saying ha
could not see anything for tho rocelver to receive.

At tho cashier's dosk ln a little restaurant at
Park row and James street there sits at night a
pretty thirteen-year-old girl. Sho Is Annie
Wagner, the daughtor of the proprietor, Emll
Wagnor. She looks out of placo with her sur

last night without paying for the 15 cents'
worth of food ho had eaten she showed herself
equal to tho cmcrgoncy.
When the man ran across Park row Annie
shouted to her brother Herman who was ln the
kitchen to tako charge of tho dosk, and ran
after the delinquent. She caught him and hung
to his coat-tails, all tbe while shouting for a
policeman. Tho man tried to get away, but
Policeman Schultr. camo up and nrrcsted him.
"I've got twenty cents." shouted tho man,
"but I've paid once, and I won't do It again."
Tho threo wont to tho restaurant, and there
the man again refused to pay. Annlo then put

and his prisoner to tbo Oak street station.
"Weren't jou afraid of that big man I" said
Sergeant Wilbur to Iho girl.
"Not much!" said Annie, as sho flung her

"I'll tend to this man," said tho Sergeant,
"pretty quick!"
Tbe prisoner said ho was Peter Riley, 30 voara
old, of 100 Park row. He was locked up on An

It was during exchange hours, tho buslost

Fully 500 persons crowded their way to tbe

thirty-two years. Tho funeral was largely at

It had been Intended to march to tbo Long Isl
and Forry, on the way to Fresh Pond, whero the
body was cream td, but somebody had reelected
to npp ly for a permit, so no parade through the
streets was possible.
Kocnecko had uo family. Somo of Tils friends,
who saw marks of an Injury on top of his head,
thought theso might bo an indication that he
had been ill treated on tho Islnnd. Tholr sus
picions hciU nn ovcnlntrpaper Into hysterics nnd
caused it In break out In rod with tbe "startling
revelation" that friends said thnt Koenecke
hail been murdered. As a matter of fact so
little iuiportanco was attached to this suspicion
on the uurt of some of tho friends that the bodv
was taken quietly nnd in nn orderly way to tbe
crematory nnd incinerated.
"I am not a friend of tbe police." Raid Most,
"and did I think tho mnn had mot his death

convicted of the murder of William G. Wuttson,
division superintendent of tho West Shore Rail
road, and sentenced to be banged on tho 10th

was that tbe record did not show that
tne defendant had been tried by a struck

order thit the legality of trying a homicide cano
with n si ruck Jury might bo contested. Justice
Llpplnrott held thxt the diameter of tho Jury
