PROSECUTION OF THE FRAUDULENT
STAR ROUTERS.
N( w York, June 16. Says the
Times' Washington special : The offi
cers charged with the prosecution of
the star route frauds expect to be pre
pared to begin operations wheu the
grand jury meets, which will be the
hitter part ot the present month. The
selection of Hubert Schutter aud An
drew Laugdon as members, of the
grand jury has given rise to consider
able comment, in i ousequeuce of tlie
former connection of these two gen
tlemen with tho Pst office Depart
ment. Schutter is a fresco painter,
and performed work for the depart
ment. II in work, it appears, was not
satisfactory, aud an investigation was
ordered by the Postmaster-General,
the result of which has not yet been
fully made public. Laugdon is presi
dent of tne Co-opcratiye Mail and
Transfer Company, of which Albert
E Boone is general manager, and
whose peculiar methods iu manipula
ting postal contracts have been fully
exposed in the Times. The grand
jury cousi3ts of twenty-four mem
bers, and the vote of a majority of
that number is required to make pre
sentiments. The editorial hints at eflorU mak
ing by Brady and associates in the
star route frauds to induce the ad
ministration to let up ou them. They
will use their influence to the utmost.
There is not the slightest reason for
fearing that anything these rascals
can do will deter cither James or Me-
Veagh from the course upon which
they have entered. It is to be hoped
there ia no ground that they may be
able to allure or to drive any of the
official associates from giving them
all the support they need, but there
are threats aud uuirmera that are dis
quieting, and the public sentiment
ought to be more aroused on this
subject, aud to demand with unmis
takable voice the strengthening of the
hands of those engaged in this prose
cution aud the baffling ot the devices
of the desperate conspirators wha
are at bay.
ANNUAL- MINT SETTLKMIINTS.
O'Lcach, accoutant, and W. P. Lan
nou, assayer of the mint bureau, leave
to-morrow to bo present at the annual
settlement, and count aud weigh bul
lion and coin ou hand at the Carson
and San Fraucisco mints. It is stated
that there are about $8,000,000 iu gold
coin and over $17,000,000 in silver
coin and silver bullion to count aud
weigh at tho San Francisco mint.
Representatives of the Director of the
Mint will leaye here during the com
ing week to witness the annual set
tlements at the Philadelphia and New
Orleans mints and the assay offices at
New York. At New Orleans there are
$6,000,000 in silver coin and bullion
to be weighed and counted ; at Phila
delphia $50,000,000 in gold coin and
$25,000,000 in silver coin and bullion,
while at the New York assay offices
there are over $60,000,000 iu gold bul
lion alone to weigh and count.
APPOINTMENTS.
The president has decided to ap
point Judge N. G. McFarlaud, ol
Kansas, Commissioner of the General
Land Office; Marshal Dudlev, of In
diana, Commissioner of Pensions,
vice Bently who resigned this after
noon Dudley may be transtprred t
the Patent Burean next fall at his own
request and Commissioner Marble
will be made assistant.
Commissioner of Pensions lieutly,
in resigning, tt.kes occasion to write a
letter, showing a great improvement
of the service and the great economy
and great honesty th it characterized
his administration ot the office. Lie
wishes tho administration and his suc
cessor complete success. The Prei-
dent's request for his re-dgnation was
not intended to be a reflection on hi
personal or official integrity, but based
on complaints of bU management and
reorganizations. It is understood the
President offered him a foreign ap
pointment and he declit ed,

General Longstrect called ou the
President to-day. He will be U. S.
Marshal for Georgia after July 1st.
lie has not thought of the Mahone
plan for dividing Georgia Democrats,
but is willing to do all possible for
the Republican party. He does not
consider the proposal brilliant.
FINANCIAL.
It is not thought probable from in
timations obtained at the Treasury
Department, based ou present indica
tions that there will be any recom
mendation made to the next Con-
rcss looking to refunding legislation.
It is the opinion of those high in
authority that the conversion of high
rate bonds under the present system
into bonds bearing a low rate of in
terest is far more advantageous to
business interests than the agitation
of the questioii by Congress.
While the intention ot the Secreta
ry of the Treasury is to keep the
sinking lund supplied, it is not prob
able that much will be done in the
purchase of bonds for that fund until
the five per cents.", to which the op
tion of continuance or redemption
has already been extended, aro dis
posed of, although there has been no
report received as to the number or
imount ot coupon lives received at
the Loudon agency tor coutiuuauce.
It is understood that quite a large
amount ef such bonds have been pre
sented. The Secretary is -.f the opin
ion that nearly, if ut quite all, of the
$118.000,000 coupon fives will be re
ceived tr continuance before the
lime fixed for their presentation has
elapsed, namely, July 1st.
The Secretary was asked today it
there wa any probability of his pur-
chasing f ur p t c 'tiU of 1907 fr a
siukiuu fund in (in ference to redeem
ing converted three and a half per
ems., he replied that that wasaqnea-
lion v nidi Had not tei Deen consuier-
d. It is thought iu some quarters
that, providing fours could be pur
chased iu open market at reasonable
figures, it would be a god policy to
purchase them iu prelercnee to the
ihree aud a halt per cents.
Forty-four million coupon five per
lit bonds were received for contin
uance at three and a half per cent, to
late, leaving $74,000,000 to be heard
from.
Secretary Windom to-day emphati
cally deuied the story telegraphed

INTRUDERS UPON THE UTES.
Secretary Lincoln referred to Gen
eral Sherman a letter from Secretary
Kirkwood relative to the alleged es
tablishment ou the Southern lite res
ervation of a new statiou by the Den

saloons, dance houses, etc., with the
request that the General take the nec

The Moon Went Down. ,
Dénver, June 16. To-day about
noon James Moon, a notorious gam
bler aud sporting man, was uhot and
instantly killed by Clay Wilson, an
other gambler, in the Arcade Restau
rant, near the corner of Sixteenth
aud Larimer streeis, and aa usual a
woman was the cause. The story
told by Wilson's friends is as follows :
Last night Moon went to Wilson's
room and said he was going to kill
him, and told him to get up aud de
fend himself. Wilson replied that he
was unarmed. Moon then endeavor
ed to get Wilson's room mate to go
after a revolver. Moon, after stand
ing and flourishing his revolver in
Wilson's face for somo time, departed,
telling Wilson to be prepared, as he
was going to pound him to pieces to
day. To-day noon Wilson aud his
room mate, named Loudou, were
6taudiug in the Arcade Saloon taking
a drink, when Moon came iu and
Slapped Loudon's face two or three
tiires and the latter weut out. Moon
then turned aud told Wilson if he did
not want any of that light to get out.
The latter siarted out, Moon follow
ing, aud when they arrived near the
frout door Wilson turned, pulled a
revolver, and fired tour shots, two
piercing the he irt and ono taking ef
feet iu the neck and the other iu the
thigh, producing iustant death. Wil
sou is iu custody.

Tho Star and Herald on lcl.eiis.
New York, June 16 The P -nama
Star and Herald of the Cth of June
says of DeLcsseps' course : Frankly,
we would like to see a little more ac
complished ou the Isthmus and less of
De Lrsseps' blowing iu Paris about
busiuess. Euthusias'i) iu Paris does
not go a long way in Panama in
our depressing rainy weather aud the
thousand discouragements common to
new enterprises on so vast a scale.
Let DeLcsscps and his nuuagers over
the way pay their eugiucers and other
employes here better salaries, give
them more ample powers aud a bet
ter opportunity and more encourage
ment to show the stuff they are made
of aud we will probably have a canal
made in eight years at original esti
mates. The world will be quite sat
isfied with that accomplishment. De
Lcsscps cau well forego this exercise
ot bis gilts of prophecy and get dowu
to that real work oi' fulfilling his
original promises.
