The Pnfttolllce lUislncsw.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 23. The repo
of First Assistant Postmaster Goner
Perry S. Heath for the fiscal year em
ed June 30 has been made public. Tl
following is an abstract :
Special attention is called to the n
cessity of additional facilities for tl
division of salaries and allowances , bi
above all other recommendations
placed one making provision for
small corps of special agents aboi
ten who are expert accountants fi
miliar with real estate values , to ii
quire in the field into postmasters' r
quisitions and demands , and to reach
just ascertainment of merit in sue
purely business matters as cannot 1
obtained by correspondence. Thei
should also be fixed a more severe pei
alty for the punishment of postmaste :
who peddel postage stamps with a vie
to increasing their own salaries , r <
suiting in the diminution of the m
receipts of the government. Authorli
should be given to secure leases <
postofflco stations for a period of fi :
instead of ten years. So much
gained by our recent policy of consol
dation of postoffices and the establisl
ment or extension of the free delivei
that I urge such action by congre :
as will give greater latitude of discn
tion in the use of specific approprii
tions. Two assistant superintenden
of free delivery system have been a ]
pointed , one to be located at Ne
York and the other at Chicago , wit
proper plenary powers and primal
jurisdiction.
On July 1 there were 3,733 presidei
tial postoffices , embracing 169 firs
class , 750 second-class and 2,814 thin
class. The net increase for the ye :
in the salaries of the postmasters j
these offices is $97,600. Their aggregal
salaries are $230,800. With the coi
solidation of the present independei
postoffices within the limits of the ne
city of New York a saving of at lea :
$62,723 in salaries and commissions <
postmasters will be effected. Anotlu
considerable reduction in expens *
may be made by the merging , or tl
abolishment , in many cases , of tl
several heads of divisions and oth <
officials receiving the higher salarie
Congress should not only repeal tl
law providing that no postoffices be es
tablished at any county seat shall 1
abolished or discontinued by reason <
any consolidation of postoffices undt
the existing law , but should also ax
thorize the postmaster general to e :
tend consolidation wherever , in his lx
lief , the service may be thereby hem
fited.
The estimates for the fiscal year en <
ing June 30 , 1899 , embrace $16,250,0 (
for compensation of postmasters ; fc
clerk hire , $11,300,000 ; rental and pu
chase of cancelling machines , $125,00 (
rental , fuel and light , $1,750,000 ; mil
cellaneous items and furniture , $200
000 , and ! advertising , $20,000.
A plea , is made for the purchase (
the postal stations in the larger citic
and that for the re-classification <
postoffice clerks renewed. The est
mate for the free delivery service fc
the fiscal year ending in June , 1899 , :
$13,810,400. Since the close of the fi ;
cal year , .Time , 1897 , the service hs
been establisbsd in more than fort
offices and before the close of the cui
rent year all offices entitled to the sei
vice will receive the same.
Rural free delivery has been put t
the test of practical experiment i
twenty-nine states and over forty dil
ferent routes. The co-operation of th
communities served has in every ir
stance been effectively given. The ger
erally satisfactory results suggest th
feasibility of making rural delivery
permanent feature of postal adminis
tration in the United States ; not in :
mediately or in all districts at onci
but in some gradual and graduate
form regulated by the present exper :
ments.
VICTORY FOR BONDSMEN
Nebraska Defeated in the Trial to Ke
cover X o8t Jtoney.
OMAHA , Neb. , Oct. 23. The bonds
men of ex-State Treasurer Bartley wo
the suit instituted against them by th
state to recover he half million della
defalcation in the state treasury whe
Bartley toft the office.
Attorney General Smyth moved t
dismiss the case without prejudic <
He was compelled to do this under
ruling of the court to avoid the othe
alternative of forcing Judge Powell t
take the case out of the hands of th
jury and to instruct it to bring in :
verdict for the sureties. In accordanc
with the motion , the case was dismiss '
ed and the jury was discharged. Th'
case is now in a position where it mjus
be tried again.
The victory for the bondsmen wa
won on a question of law whether o
not the approval by the governor o
the bond of Bartley on the first day o
the term , January 3 , 1S95 , was essentia
to make the bond a valid and bindinj
instrument. The bond had been ap
proved by the governor four days af
terward , January 9 , 1895.
Judge Powell decided that the stat
ute s of Nebraska absolutely and un
qualifiedly required that the approva
of the bond should have occurred oi
the first day of the term ; that by th
failure of the governor to approve i
on that day the office of state treasure
became vacant ; that therefore Bartle ;
was not actually state treasurer , bu
simply acted in that capacity ; that Un
bondsmen had signed the bond o
Bartley as state treasurer and as noth
ing else and that therefore they couh
not be held liable for his acts , as actinj
state treasurer.

THE LUETGERT TRIAL.
Ono Great Teature Mlnnhif ; Is > 'on l 'r <
Ht-utod.
CHICAGO , Oct. 22. The Associate
Press tonight obtained the ono grot
feature mteslng in the famous Luotgei
trial the sworn testimony of the d <
fendant himself , Adolph L. Luetgert.
Standing tonight in the gloomy Ja
adjoining the grim-'ooklng gray stor
court building , In which his remarl
able trial had at last been brought 1
a finish , the burly sausage manufai
turer clapped the climax of oxtraordii
ary series of events which began wit
his sensational bankruptcy and the a
leged frightful diabolism of boiling h
wife to death at midnlsht in a vat i
his factory collar.
Tonight , closely following the flm
result of the trial which has attractc
worldwide attention , Luetgert mat
under oath a statement for the Ai
sociated press concerning the fearfi
crime charged against him , the fin
sworn statement yet made by him , an
the first statement of such kind ev <
know in newspaper annals. The af !
davit was put in writing , in due leg !
form and is certified to by a notary.
Ex-Judge William A. Vincent , tr
leading counsel for the defendant , tt
man to whoso brains and skill and ei
ergy Luetgert beyond doubt owes h
great legal victory , gave consent to tt
affidavit being made.
The scene in the jail when Leutgei
took the oath was as dramatic as th
circumstances were unique. In th
dimly lighted jail corridor , Leutgei
standing erect and grasping the ire
bars that still kept him from Hbert ;
lifted his right hand and solemnly ai
sented as the notary administered th
binding form.
The affidavit explicitly declares Luc :
gert's innocence. The document i
full is as follows :
To the public : The result of m
trial ending today Is a victory for mi
because of the disagreement of th
jury , but I am very much disappointe
and very much surprised that the jur
did not bring in a verdict of not guilt :
I did not kill my wife , and do nc
know where she is , but I am sure thr
it is only a question of time until sh
comes home. I did not go upon th
witness stand because my lawye
Judge Vincent , was bitterly opposed t
my doing so , and because he advise
me it was not necessary. I am grate
ful for the tremendous change in pul
lie sentiment In my favor and time wi
demonstrate that I am not only an ir
nocent , but a very greviously wronge
man.

Food Scarce in Klondike.
WASHINGTON , Oct. -Captai
Hoover , comander of the Bering se
patrol fleet , who has arrived in Wasl
ington to attend the seal conferenci
said today that the reports concernin
the scarcity of food in the Klondik
region are not , in his judgment , eji
aggerated. In the neighborhood c
Dawson City , he said , there are aboi
5,000 miners , whose supply of provh
ions for the coming winter is no greal
er than was barely sufficient for ha
that number during last winter. Gret
suffering would be the inevitable re
suit of this scarcity of food. Althoug
some of the more vigorous among th
miners might attempt to get away o
the ice of the Yukon , the chances wer
tliat a considerable number of thes
would perish from hunger an I expos
ure.
