Free Delivery Ono of the Coming I ) tuandfl of the System Salaries ai Allowances btatlatlca Concerning ; tl lstlinatcii for tbo Year Ending ; Jui 30 , 1800. 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. ADOLPH L. LUETGERT.

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.

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 t affirm or deny this , it is given on firs class authority that the testimon ; of two of the principal wit nesses for the defense will b laid before the grand jury fo an investigation. It may be that mor than two people will be included ii the list that will be carried to th grand jury , but it is practically set tied that indictments will be asked fo against two probably before the Luet gert case can be reached for tria again.
