A WARRANT FOR BEAVERS.
rhe Former Thief of the Dlvl.lon of Sal
aries and Allowance of the Post
Olttve Department Iudioted.
Washington, July IS. The issuance
5f a bench warrant for the arrest of
Seorge W. Beavers, the former chief
of the division of salaries and allow
ances of the post office department, is
the culmination of an investigation
that has been in progress at intervals
ince his sudden resignation from
Dfrire, last spring. A number of mat
ters affecting his administration havi
heen probed into, one of the first re
sults of which was the cancellation of
3,04f promotions that had been passed
on by him to lake effect at post of
fices throughout the country during
the present fiscal year. Subsequently
other matters were taken up by the
investigating officials. The case on
which the present nction of the grand
jury is based, it is said, is a more
recent development. The inspectors
have' worked continuously on the in
vestigation and it is said that it was
only within the past two or three
tlays that the evidence finally was se
cured that furnished a basis for nc
tion by the federal grand jury. Chief
Post Office Inspector Cochran has
made several mysterious trips to New
York, in connection with the casq,
and Inspector Walter S. Mayer, of
Chicago, who worked up the case
against August W. Machen, the for
mer head of the free delivery servie ;.
lias figured conspicuously in obtain
ing the evidence placed in possession
of the district attorney at Brooklyn.
The authorities are now searching
for Mr. Heavers to place him under
arrest. His present whereabouts n
unknown. The postal officials wer
chagrined to learn of the publicity ol
the action of the grand jury in ad
vance of the serving of the warrant.
They regarded the news as prema
ture, nnd declined to discuss the mat
ter on the ground that the time was
not ripe to make a' statement. Fourth
Assistant Postmaster-General Bristow
conferred with several of his assist
ants immediately ' after he learned
that the nction of the grand jury hat
become known. Subsequently he re
fused to answer all questions on thf
subject.
RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Report Hint Post Ofllee Dt-iinrtiueni

Washington, July IS.- The post of
flee department, Friday, made public
the following:
There seems to be a wide misun
derstanding as to the present, ntti
1ude of the department regarding
rural free delivery. The statement
has been published quite generally
particularly in the west, that runt
routes that do not handle 11,000 piecei
of mail per month and supply 1 Ut
families are to be discontinued. It it
not the purpose of the department t
dist urb routes already established on
less they are manifestly unnecessary
There are now on file in the depart,
ment petitions for more routes tha'
will supply more than one humlrec
families than can be established will
tin- present appropriation. This be
ing the case the department does noi
feel it wise, equitable or just to es
tiiblish a route supplying less that
one hundred families to the exclusion
of routes that will supply more thar
one hundred families, the greatest
good to the greatest number being
ihe fundamental principle upon
which rural free deKvery is being es
tablished. As long as all of the route-:
that are asked for can not be estah
lished because of the lack of sulli
cient money', the routes that will sup
ply the greater number of families
should certainly have preference."

Over Thirty Mile Course.
Atlantic Highlands, X. J., July 18.
That Sir Thomas Liptou's new cup
hunter was in her finest racing trim
Friday, she manifested by showing
her clean heels to Shamrock I. from
start to finish over a 30-mile course
und winning by 11 minutes 44 seconds
elapsed time, a decisive victory. Twice
in the shifty wind the captain ol
Shamrock 1. got the better of it in
a shifty wind after the challengei
had established a big lead. Only the
ehallengers's superior heels enabled
her to regain her advantage. The up
shot of it was that the Shamrock III
beat Shamrock I. by 7 minutes 38 sec
onds, beating to windward and 4 min
utes 0 seconds running home.
The judgment of Designer Will
Fife, who is conducting this tuning
up process, was manifested in the al
tered trim of the challenger.
The course was a 15-mile beat to
windward due south and a run carry
ing spinnackers back to Sandy Hook
lightship. The wind freshened from
three knots at the at art to ten at
1he turn and dropped to five at the
finish.

CALL CAME WHILE HE WAS SPEAKING.
The Venerable Chief Had Just Aris
en to Aektion ledfge a- Token ot
Love From His Order, mid Had
Said Hut a Few Words When tha
AleKseuiier Came.
Winnipeg, Man., July IS. 1". M. Ar
thur, grand chief engineer of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers, dropped dead at midnight while
speaking at the banquet closing the
annual union convention of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers,
which has been in session for the last
few days.
His Last t'tternnce.
"Out o'f Hie fullness of the heart
the mouth speaks," were the opening
words of the last speech that Chief
Arthur will ever deliver. The speak
er then paused slightly, seemingly in
an effort to control his feelings. The
chairman had just presented him u
beautiful floral engine. As the ven
erable leader began the sentence: "I
want to say a few things, and it may
be my parting words to many of
you," his emotion seemed to be get
ting beyond control. His voice low
ered slightly, but without losing its
clearness be continued: "We are here
to-night; no one can tell when"
At this point, five minutes after
midnight, the speaker fell. Ladies
present were the first to utter a sign
of alarm. In nn instant many hands
were ready to give assistance. Sev
eral rushed forward to, support hijn.
Dr. MncArthur hurriedly ascended the
stairs, and Mr. Arthur was carried off
the platform. The physician exam
ined the patient and pronounced him
dead.
"Henrt failure, due to over-emotion,"
he said. An affecting scene fol
lowed the doctor's announcement.
The funeral took place at one
o'clock Friday afternoon from the un
dertaking Tooms. The remains will
be taken to Cleveland, O., for inter
ment. Mr. Arthur occupied a pre-eminent
place among labor leaders because of
his moderation, sagacity and enlight
ened public spirit.
He was born in Scotland in 1834. He
came to this country with his mother
when he was six years old. Within a
year both his parents died and he
made his home afterwards with an
uncle.
His school education covered a
period of six weeks. He found em
ployment in the engine department of
the Xew York Central railroad and
when 19 years old was placed in
charge of and made driver of a loco
motive. He continued to run an en
gine on the Xew York Central for 20
years.

HIS 1
SURPLUS CALLS FOR REVISION.
Injustice of Kerplnc Such a l.arae
sum Oat of the Channels
of Trade. '
Notwithstanding the reduction in in
ternal revenues through the repeal of
the war taxes and the increase in ap
propriations the closing day of the fis
cal year finds a surplus in the national
treasury amounting to $52,710,590, and
in available cash balance amounting to
,231,545,012.
In repealing the war taxes it was ex
pected that the reduction in iaternal
revenues would be about $75,000,000,
whereas the actual loss was only $41,
?64,S66. The story of the government's
fiscal operations for the year is briefly
told in the following statement of re
ceipts and disbursements:
SOl'RCES OF REVENCE.
Customs $2S3.S91.719
Internal revenue 115,:56

Interest U.5."6.61S
The fact that the surpli for 1903 is
greater than was anticipated by con
gress is attributable, of course, to the
general prosperity of the country. It
Is noted, for instance, that the customs
receipts were greater than those of last
year by $29,434,791, owing to the enor
mous importation of partly manufac
tured goods. A large increase in mls-
l
both ways at once a characteristic republican product
cellaneous internal revenue receipts was
3ue to phenomenal sales of public
lands, which reflect unusual prosperity
In the west.
That the unexpected surplus is due to
increased and widespread industrial
activity is, of course, highly gratifying
to the country. But when the revenue
producing machinery creates such a
surplus it, is clearly not well fitted to
the times, says the Chicago Record
Herald. The showing that is made
points unmistakably to a readjustment
of the tariff schedules, to the end that
the surplus may be reduced and that
She Import duties may be more scien
tifically adapted to present industrial
conditions. It is noted that the customs
receipts were greater than the internal
revenue receipts by over $53,000,000.
The chances, are that the importation
of partly manufactured goods will be
even greater during the coming fiscal
fear. There Is no prospect of reduced
revenues in that direction under the
present laws.
The wisdom of a reduction of the sur
plus is so plainly obvious as to require
no extended argument, and the place
where the reduction should be made is
equally obvious. On the first point we
need only say that It Is not just that the
government should keep such a large
sum out of the channels of trade or that
it should raise excessive revenues from
the people. Moreover, such a surplus
is a constant temptation to extravagant
and unnecessary appropriations. As
regards the second point it is equally
clear that the people will not assent to
any further reduction In the internal
revenue taxes on beer, whisky and to
bacco. The only cure for the surplus
s a revision of the tariff.

is the first time, we believe, that a latter

any credit to the bounties of nature as a

J THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.'
Oplnioa of James II. Bekrls oa ta
Oat look for the Demo
crat le Party,
James U. Eckels, of Chicago, comp
troller of the currency under the last ad
ministration of President Cleveland, ex
pressed himself the other day regarding
the democratic party, but refused to
make a prediction as to the men whom
the democrats may select as their next
candidates.
"I am not interesting myself in poli
tics to any extent," said Mr. Eckels.
"Naturally, as a democrat, I am anxious
that the party should present a candi
date and piatform which will command
the respect and support of the conserva
tive elements of the country.. It has
been demonstrated that the conservative
eHments win presidential elections and
that Ihe second sober thought of the
people is more to be relied upon than
that enthusiasm which finds expression
in radical platforms and unbusinesslike
suggestions. The democratic party
ought to have a useful place in the pub
He affairs of the nation. Neither politi
cal organization ought to be so wholly
in command as to make it reckless in
legislation and extravagant in expendi
tures, as is always the case when too
overwhelmingly In the majority. This
is going to be the danger to which the
country will be subjected from a weak
democratic organization and a strong
republican one.
"The democrats ought to make a
strong campaign for the reform of the
tariff, less extravagance in public ex
penditure and the conducting of this
government in accord with democratic
principles of the least government con.
sistent with the proper protection of tho
rights of persons and of property. They
should stand for an indiscriminate and
fair enforcement of the laws on the stat
ute books which ought to be there and
a repeal of those which are useless and a
hindrance to business conditions. The
money question is eliminated and the
currency question cannot be made a
party issue. There is left, therefore,
only the tariff question. On this the
democrats have the right of the issui
nnd ought to stand to it."
"Have you any idea as to a possible
candidate of the democratic party?"
"I do not know who will be a candi
date," was the reply. "Someone will
be found, I have no doubt, and demo
crats will support him."

When Mr. Hanna says he will noi
accept a nomination for vice president
j and that the nomination cannot be
iuiccu uu nun, lie loigeis me wisuom
of Napoleon. "Very often I do not
say what I know," said the great cap
tain to the Parisian editors who
claimed he had predicted that he would
be In Milan within a month. "Very
often I do not say what I know, but
never do I say what will be." Mr,
Hanna has said what will be, or rathel
what will not be, and this always in
volves risks; says the Detroit Free Press.
Theodore Roosevelt, whose spine it
supposed to contain quite as much
lime as the Hanna spine, declared that
he would not accept a nomination fot
vice president. Mr. Hanna heartily
agreed with the then governor of New
York, and gave assurances that Mr.
Roosevelt would never get a chance to
accept it; but the nomination huntad
down the man for all that, and both
I Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hanna were
I powerless to divert it from the line ol
greatest resistance.
With this object lesson before him
; Mr. Hanna should be cautious about
saying what he will do or what he will
; not do. Not so very long ago he said
: the Ohio republican convention would
not Indorse Theodore Roosevelt foi
president. He was Just as firm aboul
It as he Is about the vice presidency;
but the Ohio convention indorsed Mr.
Roo3evelt for all that, aud Mr. Hanns
did his best to look pleasant. He maj
have to eat his words again when the
i republican ' national convention . hal
1 finished the work of nominating e
' candidate for vice president. It Is not
so easy to resist conscription when th(
draft is made by a great political party
and Mr. Hanna should not be too confi
dent. "Never do I say what will be.':
There is no better motto for a greal
political leader.
Mr. Quay declares that he will not
again ask Pennsylvania for political
place or preferment. Those who know
Mr. Quay well, however, are satisfied
that he will not have the telephone
taken out of the house so that the people
may not have a chance to call on him to
take up the heavy burden of office once
more. Matthew Stanley is tired and
worn-out by his public labors, but he is
as patriotic as ever. Chicago ChTonicle.

Thousand Islands, but if there is, it has
not been discovered. It is the Venice of
America, but also has good hotels that can
be kept warm if there shall happen to be a
cold rajiy evening. It is as fine as the Bay
of Naples, with 2,000 picturesque Islands
scattered along the twenty-five miles of
one of the most fpeautiful rivers in the world.
You can find out n great deal regarding it
in No. 10 of the "Four-Track Series," "The
Thousand Islands." Copy will be mailed
