bnvo worked well in bringing the postmasters
tors nt small places Into relations with post
masters of ln er experience and thereby Im
proving the postal service.
Considerable disappointment u fell at the
postolllca department ever the unexplained
omission from Ibo sundry civil bill of an ap
propriation of $0,000 wbicb had boon asked
lo enable the sixth auditor's olllco 01 tbo
treasury department which audits postmas
ters1 accounts lo employ twenty people for
six months at the rate of $ . " > OJ per your to as
sort several million paid money orders which
have accumulated and are accumulating In
the olllco , and In their prcsont state prevent
the settlement of thousands of poHmasters'
accounts. When the sundry civil bill was
prepared , this item was embodied in it , and
Iho department understood that it was going
through alt right. Tbo employes were se
lected , being out of tne classified service , and
most of them bad been notillod to report for
dut > on the 15th. Tno fact that no provision
had been made for thoiromployment was not
discovered until yesterday , when It was
found nccossarv to rescind all action In inis
rcspocl. The omission of ihe Item will cauao
vexation and delay to thousands of post
masters throughout the country , who desire
settlement of their nnnoy order accounts.
There uro several million of these money
order blanks representing business trans
acted at various dfllces , now stacked up in

DID THEY DIE BY POISON
Mystery Still Surrounds the Sudden De
mise of the Sbultz Sistara.
NO CAUSE FOR SUICIDE 13 KNOWN
lint n llnttla or Strychnine Found Near
AVIicro They Dropped Demi Ciuiso *
the Coroner's Jury to IlrliiR til it
Verdict of I'olsonlng.
OIUFTOX , Nob. , Aug. 11. [ Special Telegram -
gram to Tun TJnr..i-Tho death of the
Shultz girls remains n mystery so far as the
catno Is concerned. No autopsy has been
bad. In the absence of Coroner McCIcory
the Inquest was placed In the hands of
Sheriff Summers. The following jurymen
were summoned : W. S. Drown , foreman ;
W. T. Brink , U. Ayroo , W. H. Nichols , M.
V. King nnd W. T. McKnight. Drs. Ashley
and Plumb were examined. County At
torney Sloan conducted the proceedings.
The verdict was "death from strychnine. "
After the examination was hold It was
ascertained from tbo books of a druggist In
Genoa that on August 8 Bertha Shultz , tbo
younger victim , bought one-eighth of un
ounce of strychnine for rats ami mica. The
real causa which led to their death remains
a mystery nnd Is very unsatisfactory to
many. The public suspect another eauso
which led to this rash act , which could bo
ascertained only by nn autopsy. Tbo whole
of the Investigation is unsatisfactory and
the uoath of tbo two girls Is shrouded In
mvstery.
The evidence that , brought out such n ver
dict was very slight. It was at lint thought
that the girls died from iho shock and ox-
cltumont of tbo runaway at Fairmont , but
the strange fact of their dropping dead uftor
reaching homo apparently unhurt , ana the
further fact that they dropped dead on the
same spot , and almost at the same moment ,
created suspicion that the/ died by poison.
Tlio girls had driven to Fairmont to do
some slupping They loft homo In seemingly
excellent" spirits , and wtillo in Fairmont
laughed nnd talncd' with friends and ac
quaintances. When they started home their
horse ran away nnd throw them out , Tno
buggy was demolishednnd they hired Alfred
Hybu'rn to drive thorn homo In n livery
buggy. On tbo way homo they talked and
joked wltn Uyburn.Vithlnnn hour nftor
reaching homo both dropped dead.
Wnllo thn coroner was investigating the
case a small bottle of strychnine was found
In the yard. So far as known this is the
principal reason for the verdict. Every
attempt to solve the mystery only
lends to deeper Intricacies. Medical
experts declare that If death was
produced by poison , it was some
thing tnoro swift and deadly than strych
nino. All sorts of rumors are alloat. Not
tbo slightest reason for suicide can bo dis
covered.

LONDONAug. . 11. In the IIouso of Com
mons today J. W. Lowther , parliamentary sec
retary of ths foreign ofllce , said that the gov
ernment hnd made no representations or re
monstrances to the United Stales govern-
rnent concerning the McKlnloy tariff bill. No
communications bad been received at the
foreign ofllco from Washington relating to
the alleged Interviews on the subject.
HlgbtHon. Sir John Gorst , financial secretary -
rotary lo the treasury , stutod that , no loan
had yet upon advanced to Brllish Columbia.
The object of tbo loan referred to by Sir
John Is to aid In paving fcr tbo proposed fort
works and other defenses to bo 'constructed
at Victoria , B. C.
The debate on the address In reply to the
queen's speech was resumed , Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain , tbo lender of the liberal union
ists , taking the floor.
Mr. Cliiiiilbnrluln's Address.
Mr. Chamberlain said that tbo liberal
unionists' Influence was not measured by
tholr number * . In parliament' they re
mained nn undoubted political force , not
lessened by tnclr opponents calling them
political apostates , or an Ill-starred organiza
tion. Ho said that iho issue between union
ists and the homo rulers had boon decided
fern time by the country , but -vhen Mr. ,
Gladstone wont on to say that it was irrele
vant lo do anything more than oxpcl Iho
government without asking what would
follow , bo must and would protest.
The present situation was unparalleled In
English political history. Hitherto u vote of
want of conlldonce In tbo government implied
confidence In the party replacing it. The
present opposition , In lact , could put the
government In u minority of forty , but tno
now government aiight Hnd itself in n minor
ity of 100 at almost Iho llrst breath of Us ex
istence. It was a strnngo position , so llio
opposition strove lo stillo debate.
The ncoolo had confidence In his policy
because it was opposed lo lhat of Mr. Glad
stone and Mr. Money. fCheers.l If Lord
Hosobory Fbo'ild not , bo tbo now foreign
minister , omo morning they would uwulto
lo llnd preparations being mndo lo ovncunto
Egypt , on which biibjcict tbo opinion of the
house bad never neon taken. Ho did not believe -
lievo iho democracy of Iho country was in
favor of Mr. Gladstone's and Mr. Morloy'a
polioy of scuttle [ "hear , hear. " ]
but lhat policy might bo carried
out , durincr the recess to the gross
Injury of Imperial Interests , while the
voice of parliament could not uu heard. Not
alone on foreign , but also on many homo
questions the liberal sections maintained n
conspiracy of silence , and ho did not much
wonder a't It. If Mr. Gladstone triad lo
satisfy ihe demand of the different , sections
of Ibo party , besides the Irish members , tbo
assurances given ono section might displease
another , and the dlsplensurso of one suction
might bo fatal to the Gladstone government.

Tno taciturnity of two of the sections was
exceptionally strange. There- had been
.thlrtjvono'.Welsh members returned ' , pledged
lo the disestablishment of tbo'ohurch. They
scemod content to pompono ibc realization
of the Welsh'duties , but insisted that discs-
tabllshmont should have second place In Iho
liberal proirram. But thuy Had been beard in
silence , Mr. lloduiond declaring that the
question must be excluded If it in the slight
est degree diverted attention from homo
rule. All Iho nationalists concurred that the
Irish question was dominant lo tbo exclusion
of British reforms. f"Heir , hear. " ] The
prospects of Welsh disestablishment being
thrust into Iho background was not prom
ising. Another set of members professed to
specially represent a work Jay of eight hours
tor miner * . Experience ought to have con
vinced thorn of the virtue of oxcrllug some
pressure , yet they were also silent.
Where 'woro the so-called Independent
liberals with their program of British re
forms first and uomu rule afterwards )
The bingularity of the position was lhat if
they lurned Iho government out they did
not know that Iho coming government cnuld
command a majority ot the house , and had
no opportunity of learning the opinions of
tbo coming government. They had been told
that tbo polioy of the Irish was to It.iock ono
government out of another. II so , how could
tbo queen's government bo carried 1 [ "Hear ,

lation * The task that Iho opposition had
taken was of herculean proportions. Tnoy
could neither effect agreement themselves or
rely upon thelrlrlsh allies.
Klgnt Hon. Sir Henry James ( liberal
unionist ) , member for Lancashire , said there
was no precedent to sustain the incoming
government In withholding information as to
Iho policy they Intended to pursue.
Mr. Gladstone , interposing , said there wiu
a precedent in the course pursued by tbo
government which assumed power In 1811 ,
Sir Henry , continuing , said thai tnero had
been a full debute on Lord Melbourne's
future policy. [ Conservative cheora.l Ho
bupposod that Mr. Asquilhbad been selected

Chaplin Howled Down.
Mr. Chaplin , president of tbo Board of
Aciiculluro , then rose to spcalc , but vas
treated with such n btorm of shouts of ' Di
vide , divide" that his voice was Inaudible.
Mr. Chaplin resumed bts seat , but
llio sreakur loudly called for order
and recalled Mr. Chaplin. The lat
ter , in his remarks , endeavored to
show from past speeches of Mr. Gladstone
that tbo task of preserving the supremacv of
Parliament and yd giving Ireland control of
her own n flu Irs was illusory und impossible.
Mr. Chaplin's remarks were continually in
terrupted by ironical Irish cheers und re
newed cries of "Divide , " and iho Hpeukor
was again obliged lo bo ? a patient hearing
for Mr. Chaplin.
The house then remained quiet until Mr.
Chaplin said that the House of Lords
would survive Iho attacks of the Morley
crew , which observation caused another up
roar , laming several minufis und drowning
Mr. Chaplin's remarks.
When qmot was restored Mr. Chaplin of
fered to lay a wager lhat tl.o now
government would not survive un ordi
nary session , which offer caused the house
to break into shouts of laughter. Presently
u friend placed a fresh glass of wntor on n
box where Mr. Chaplin's ' nolea lay nnd acci
dentally scattered iho papers. The whole
assembly joined the Irish in sereanm of
laughter ever Mr. Chaiilin's dltcomtlturc.

Il will bo rcinoniboro.l that Air , Donzlonmn
was In the city on one ollior occasion.
Something lluo three mouths njo , on n
drizzly , dlsucrcoablo afternoon , a couple ot
very happy prisoners wow brought In by
Deputy United States Marshal Hopllnper.
The two elated men were the witnesses
against the cntllomon for the killing of
Champion and Kny nt the T A. ranch In
Wyoming nnd ihuir Joy WHS duo to the fact
that they had boon cotton out or the cnttlo
country , thanks to several onorgollo attor

It was OD that occasion that Mr. Douzla-

had boon In the city two or Ihreo days ar
ranging for the appearance of the prisoners ,
nnd so nicely hud every detail beoi. looked
after that In less than ilfteon minutes alter
tliulrnrrlynl on that wet afternoon they hnd
boon nrralgnod , had pleaded , had had their
bonds fixed and hud been released'on their
own recognizance never to return.
Tnut uvonlnt ; they were smuggled out of
thu city by the aforesaid Mr. Donzlcmnn to a
suburban station on the Missouri Paeillc ,
and in company with that urbane and tiro-
Insa gentleman the two men who were much
wanted up In Johnson county , Wyoming ,
were huillca away to the seaboard. They
wont to a section wkcro rustlers nro un

Ho dropped in yesterday , and by the
strangest kind of a coincidence In dropped
about n score of lough-looking Tcxans nt the
snmo time. And , stranger still , these Tcxans
were the very identical cusses who for
months past hove been pu'.ntlvoly In Jail in
Wyoming with the cattlemen who employed
them , all charged with the muriier of Uay
ana Uliamplon , and who were released from
custody on thulrown recognizance of $10,000
ball , because a bankrupt county would no
longer pay tnolr board.
Another coincidence was the appnaranca

Toschnmcher of Cheyenne , John Clay. C. A.
Camnbull , O. 11. Barnuui and J. M. Wulkuoa

ten , as did also T. C. Smith , Mlko McNnlly
and Jerrv Barling , n trio of us sava o looking
border rufrlans as over stopped at uny llr t
class hotel on ton of earth.
It seemed son of odd the way all these
fellows happened to gal into each other's
company , utid when they dropped Into Ed
Mnuror'a ono by one and nil got In n bunch
ever in one corner and Tcscbmachor mtulo
'em each a present of a blij wad of nice ,
genuine looking money It was almost enough
to convince a credulous Individual that they
must have heard something about It boforo'-

have happened. , .and perhaps they didn't
know anything about it.
Hut Dnnzlomnii Didn't Know.
Il must nil hnvo boon Greek to Donziaman ,
