THE POSTAL SERVICE
REPORT OF ASSISTANT POST
MASTER general heath.
Free Delivery One of the Coming De
mands of the System—Salaries and
Allowances—Statistics Concerning the
Estimates for the Tear Ending June
30, 1800.
The Postofllce Business.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—The report
of First Assistant Postmaster General
Perry S. Heath for the fiscal year end
ed June 30 has been made public. The
following Is an abstract:
Special attention is called to the ne
cessity of additional facilities for the,
division of st aries and allowances, but
above all other recommendations Is
placed one making provision for a
small corps of special agents—about
ten—who are expert accountants fa
miliar with ..real estate values, to in
quire in the field into postmasters’ re
quisitions and demands, and to reach a
just ascertainment of merit in such
purely business matters as cannot be
obtained by correspondence. There
should also be fixed a more severe pen
alty for the punishment of postmasters
who peddel postage stamps with a view
to increasing their own salaries, re
sulting in the diminution of the net
receipts of the government. Authority
should be given to secure leases of
postoffice stations for a period of five,
instead of ten years. So much is
gained by our recent policy of consoli
dation of postoffices and. the establish
ment or extension of the free delivery
that I urge such action by congress
as will give greater latitude of discre
tion in the use of specific appropria
tions. Two assistant superintendents
of free delivery system have been ap
pointed, one to be located at New
York and the other at Chicago,' with
proper plenary powers and. primary
jurisdiction.
On July 1 there were 3,733 presiden
tial postofflces, embracing 169 first
class, 750 second-class and 2,814 third
class. The net increase for the year
in the salaries of the postmasters at
these offices is 897,600. Their aggregate
salaries are $230,800. With the con
solidation of the present independent
postofflces within the limits of the new
city of New York a saving of at least
$62,723 In salaries and commissions of
postmasters will be effected. Another
considerable reduction in expenses
may be made by the merging, or the
abolishment, in many cases, of the
several heads of divisions and other
officials receiving the higher salaries.
Congress should not only repeal the
law providing that no postofflces be es
tablished at any county seat shall be
abolished or discontinued by reason of
any consolidation of postofflces under
the existing law, but should also au
thorize the postmaster general to ex
tend consolidation wherever, in his be
lief, the service may be thereby bene
fited.
The estimates for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1899, embrace $16,250,000
for compensation of postmasters; for
clerk hire, $11,300,000; rental and pur
chase of cancelling machines, $125,000;
rental, fuel and light, $1,750,000; mis
cellaneous items and furniture, $200,
000, and advertising, $20,000.
A plea is made for the purchase of
the postal stations in the larger cities
and that for the re-classification of
postofflce clerks renewed. The esti
mate for the free delivery service for
the fiscal year ending in June, 1899, is
$13,810,400. Since the close of the fis
cal year, June, 1897, the service has
been established in more than forty
offices and before the close of the cur
rent year all offices entitled to the ser
vice will receive the same.
Rural free delivery has been put to
the test of practical experiment in
twenty-nine states and over forty dif
ferent routes. The co-operation of the
communities served has in every in
stance been effectively given. The gen
erally satisfactory results suggest the
feasibility of making rural delivery a
permanent feature of postal adminis
tration in the United States; not im
mediately or in all districts at once,
but in some gradual and graduated
form regulated by the present experi
ments. _
VICTORY FOR BONDSMEN.
Nebraska Defeated In the Trial to Re- |
cover Lost Money. 4
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 23.—The bonds
men ot ex-State Treasurer Bartley won
the suit Instituted against them by the
state to recover he half million dollar
defalcation in the state treasury when
Bartley left the office.
Attorney General Smyth moved to
dismiss the case without prejudice.
He was compelled to do this under a
ruling of the court to avoid the other
alternative of forcing Judge Powell to
take the case out of the hands of the
jury and to Instruct It to bring in a
verdict for the sureties. In accordance
with the motion, the case was dismiss
ed and the juty was discharged. The
case is now in a position where it must
be tried again.
The victory for the bondsmen was
won on a question of law—whether or
not the approval by the governor of
the bond of Bartley on the first day of
the term* January 3, 1S95, was essential
to make the bond a valid and binding
instrument. The bond had been ap
proved by the governor four days af
terward, January 9, 1895.
Judge Powell decided that the stat
utes of Nebraska absolutely and un
qualifiedly required that the approval
of the bond should have occurred on
the first day of the term; that by the
failure of the governor to approve it
on that day the office of state treasurer
became vacant; that therefore Bartley
was not actually state treasurer, but
simply acted in that capacity; that the
bondsmen had signed the bond of
Bartley as state treasurer and as noth
ing else and that therefore they could
not be held liable for his acts, as acting
state treasurer.

No Tax on Mlnara’ Outfits.
OTTAWA, Ont., Oct 23.—The report

Canadian government had decided to
charge a duty on every class of goods
taken into the Klondike country, in

There has been no change in the cus
toms laws affecting that country and
miners are still permitted to take in
an outfit tree of duty when not ex- j
eeeding 9100 ir value.
THE LUETGERT TRIAL.
One Great Feature Missing is Now Pre
sented.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.—The Associated
Press tonight obtained the one great
feature missing in the famous Luetgert
trial—the sworn testimony of the de
fendant himself, Adolph L. Luetgert.
Standing tonight in the gloomy jail
adjoining the grim-locking gray stone
court building, in. which his remark
able trial had at last been brought to
a finish, the burly sausage manufac
turer clapped the climax of extraordin
ary series of events which began with
his sensational bankruptcy and the al
leged frightful diabolism of boiling his
wife to death at midnight in a vat in
his factory cellar.
Tonight, closely following the final
result of the trial which has attracted
worldwide attention, Luetgert made
under oath a statement for the As
sociated press concerning the fearful
crime charged against him, the first
sworn statement yet made by him, and
the first statement of such kind ever
know in newspaper annals. The affi
davit was put in writing, in due legal
form and is certified to by a notary.
Ex-Judge William- A. Vincent, the
leading counsel for the defendant, the
man to whose brains and skill and en
ergy Luetgert beyond doubt owes his
great legal victory, gave consent to the
affidavit being made.
The scene in the jail when Leutgert
took the oath was as dramatic as the
circumstances were unique. In the
dimly lighted jail corridor, Leutgert
standing erect and grasping the iron
bars that still kept him from liberty,
lifted his right hand and solemnly as
sented as the notary administered the
binding form.
The affidavit explicitly declares Luet
gert’s Innocence. The document in
full is as follows:
To the public: The result of my
trial ending today is a victory for me,
because of the disagreement of the
jury, but I am very much disappointed
and very much surprised that the jury
did not bring in a verdict of not guilty.
I did not kill my wife, and do not
know where she is, but I am sure that
it is only a question of time until she
comes home. I did not go upon the
witness stand because my lawyer,
Judge Vincent, was bitterly opposed to
my doing so, and because he advised
me it was not necessary. I am grate
ful for the tremendous change in' pub
lic sentiment in my favor and time will
demonstrate that I am not only an in
nocent, but a very greviously wronged
man.

Food Source In Klondike.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 23.—Captain
Hoover, comander of the Bering sea
patrol fleet, who has arrived in Wash
ington to attend the seal conference,
said today that the reports concerning
the scarcity of food in the Klondike
region are not, in his judgment, ex
aggerated. In the neighborhood of
Dawson City, he said, there are about
5,000 miners, whose supply of provis
ions for the coming, winter is no great
er than was barely sufficient for half
that number during last winter. Great
suffering would be the inevitable re*
suit of this scarcity of food. Although
some of the more vigorous among the
miners might attempt to get away on
the ice of the Yukon, the chances were
that a considerable number of these
would perish from hunger anl expos
ure.
Prosecutions for Perjury.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23.—It is quite pos
sible that some prosecutions for per
jury will result from the Luetgert case.
While the states attorney refused to
affirm or deny this, it is given on first
class authority that the testimony
of two of the principal wit
nesses for the defense will be
laid before the grand jury for
an investigation. It may be that more
than two people will be Included in
the list that will be carried to the
grand jury, but it is practically set
tled that indictments will be asked for
against two probably before the Luet
gert case can be reached for trial
again.
Mayor Harrison for Governor.
CHICAGO, Oct. 23.—Mayor Harri

tional politics.’’
Now Bay Homs.
LEAD, S. D., Oct. 22.—“Do you know
how to make sure money In the next
two years?” asked a well posted cat
tleman. “Buy a bunch of good horses.
Horses have touched a lower price
than will again be reached for many
years. One year ago range horses
could not he sold'at any price. At the
present time the price is not high, it is
true, but there is a demand and it is
growing. The man who wants to make
money will buy horses now." -
