RE'CORD OF APPOINTEE.
M. c. Fosnes Is one of the oldest Post
offlce Inspectors Jn the service. He is
a native of Norway, -where he was bom
In 1651. and his home Is Des Moines.
Ja. He was once a Special Examiner
of the Pension Bureau, and subsequent
ly served as Postofflce Inspector at
Philadelphia, Chicago. Helena. Mont.,
and St. Paul. He is still Postofflce
Inspector in charge of the St. Paul
division. He is best known in connec
tion with the Investigation of the pos-,
tal frauds In Cuba. On the sensational
removal of Estcs Rathbone, Mr. Fosnes
was appointed Director-General of
Cuba, assuming that office on June 23,
1900. and holding it until May 20, 1&02.
when the United States sovereignty
over the Island ceased.
"WASHINGTON, May 8. The ivestlga
tlon of the affairs of the Postofflce De
partment, -which has been dragging along
lor two months, took a sensational turn
this afternoon -when, by order of Postmaster-General
Payne. August W.
Machen, General Superintendent of the
Free Delivery System, and one of the
most widely-known Government officials
In the United States, -was relieved from
his duties, and Postofflce Inspector M. C.
Fosnes was designated to take charge of
that service. The change will take effect
tomorrow morning, -when Fosnes will as
sume charge of the Free Delivery Service,
and at the same time that service will
pass under the control of the office of the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General.
Heretofore, It has been under the Juris
diction of the First Assltant.
The action of the Postmaster-General
was taken on the -written recommendation
of the Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General,
who Is directing the affairs of the
department, that the transfer of Mr.
Machen's bureau to his Jurisdiction and
Its administration by a Postofflce Inspec
tor, would expedite the investigation. In
ordering the change, the Postmaster-General
gave Mr. Machen "leave of absence
until the Investigation is concluded." Mr.
Machen promptly acquiesced In the de
cision of the Postmaster-General, taking
occasion to say that In dplng so he
courted the fullest Investigation of his
official conduct.
Machen Under a Strong Fire.
Mr. Machen has been under fire ever
since the Investigation began. Charges of
various kinds have been preferred against
the administration of the free delivery
branch of the postal service. These in
cluded allegations of collusion with letter
box manufacturers In the furnishings of
boxes to Postofflce patrons, especially on
rural mail routes, and the appointment
of carriers, etc. There also has been a
conflict between! Mr. Machen and First
Assistant Postmaster-General Wynne
ever since the latter assumed office. Mr.
"Wynne charges Mr. Machen with Insub
ordination. The strained relations be
tween the head of the free delivery serv
ice and other officials resulted In an em
barrassing state of affairs, and for sev
eral months correspondence between the
general superintendent of, the free de
livery service and his immediate superior,
the First Assistant Postmaster-General,
had been conducted on the part of the
former, through one of his subordinates.
At Requet of Brixton.
Mr. Bristow, at the head of the inquiry,
has all along been of the opinion that the
best Interest of the service would be
served by the relief of Mr. Machen and
has pointed out to the Postmaster-General
that action was imperatively neces
sary to the successful conduct of the In
vestigation. Late this afternoon, before
a large number of newspaper men, Mr.
Payne announced his decision, and read
the correspondence between himself and
Mr. Machen, together with the recom
mendation of Mr. Bristow. The latter's
recommendations, made under date of
yesterday, was as follows:
"In order to complete the denartmpntai
investigation now In progress. In a more
expeditious and satisfactory manner. I
beg to request that the division of free
deliverj- be temporarily assigned to the
.tmraeu or the Fourth Assistant Post
master-General, and that I be authorized
to assign a Postofflce Inspector, as the
ucuns general superintendent of said dl
vision, during the continuance of this in
vestlgatlon."
The letter of the Postmaster-General to
-mr. jiacnen was as follows:
j. ura in receipt or a request from
General Bristow, Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General,
that the riK'lslnr,
delivers- be temporarily assigned to his
bureau and that he be authorized to as
sign a Postofflce Inspector as the acting
general superintendent of said division
during the continuance of the investiga
tion now In progress. In conformity of
this request. I have Issued the fniinn-in-
order to take effect at the commencment
of business on the 9th Inst.:
" The division of free dniivon.
lore under the supervision of tho First
-riooioiiuiL jrosimaster-General, is hereby
transferred and assigned tn .v.
Assistant Postmaster-General, and the
Sumuonsfli me department are amend,
ed In conformity therewith.
'Tou are hereby granted leav of h
eence until the investiiratlon
and will turn over the division of free de-
i- , control or M. a Fosnes,
Postofflce Inspector, who has hiwm
nated as the Acting General Superintend
ent oi me iree aeiivery system."
Reply of Machen.
Following Is Mr. Machen's reDlvr
"I am in receipt of your letter of this
date advising me of- your order, to take
effect on the 9th instant, transferring the
division of tree delivery from tho super
vision of the First Assistant Postmaster-
ocnenu. i also note that I have been
granted a leave of absence until the ln-
-vesugauon now in progress is concluded,
-and during my absence M. d.
Postofflce Inspector, will be Acting Gen
eral eupennienaent or the Free Delivery
System.
"In conformity with your instructions,
I will turn the division over to Mr. Fosnes
tomorrow morning. In this connection I
deaire to state what I have said to you
heretofore, that I court the fullest Investi
gation of my official conduct, and stand
ready at any time to aid In the Investiga
tion now in progress, as I am unconscious
of having done wrong." 1
Postmaster-General Payne, in discussing
the matter, said he believed the corre
spondence told the whole story. He said
his conclusion to relieve Mr. Machen was
reached yesterday after office hours. Mr.
Bristow. he said, had come to his office
and they had a conference, during which
Mr. Bristow presented his letter request
ing to be put into full charge of the office.
In order to expedite the investigation. He
declined to say whether the change would
be permanent, saying that depended -on
the results of the Investigation.
One of the plans under consideration in
connection with the reorganization of the
department Is to keep the rairal free deliv
ery service permanently under Jhe Juris
diction of the Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General,
leaving the regular free de
livery servicp in its former Jurisdiction,
that of the First Assistant Postmaster
General. Postmaster-General Payne ex
plained that any rearrangement of duties
would hang largely on the results of the
investigation.
Ex-Representative Loud, of California,
who was chairman of the House commit
tee on postofflces and post roads, has
spent much time during tho past two or
three days in conference with Postmaster
General Payne. First Assistant Postmas-
'ter-General "Wynne and Fourth Assistant
Postmaster-General Bristow. Mr. Machen
and Mr. Loud have been at odds officially
for nearly two years, and It is believed
that the counsels of Mr. Loud figured in
today's developments.
Mr. Machen tonight was not inclined to
talk, but expressed confidence that he
could rebuke allegations made against
him. He said:
"I Tiave no fear of not being, able to
meet any and all of the charges that
Vinvp. vfTi mnde under this Investigation.
I take the action of the department to1 be
a step toward expediting and closing up
the Investigation as promptly as possime,
and designed to give Mr. Bristow an op
portunity of getting a thorough insight
into tho free deliver' service." .
Mr. Machen will be at the department
tomorrow morning to relinquish his office
to Mr. Fosnes. He says that, except
while removing his family to his Summer
home at "Westminster. Md.f he will remain
in this city during his leave of absence.
Mr. Machen came here from Toledo, O..
in 1S93, and qualified as Superintendent of
the Free Delivers" on Mas' 6 of that sear.
Since then the office has grown Into im
mense proportions, and the free delivery
mall service has been Introduced and ex
tended to cover all parts of the country.

BALDWIN IS VINDICATED.

"WASHINGTON, May 8. The "War De-

Colonel Mills of the Interview with Gen
eral Baldwin at Denver, together- with
the Indorsement of Secretary Root. The
findings have been made public already.
The report deals with the methods of tho
different newspapers In the matter, and
pronounces the interview In which Gen
eral Baldwin is alleged to have criticised
the Filipinos and negroes a "fake." Colo
nel Mills also sas'fi:
"I found General Baldwin much cha
grined at the notoriety thrust upon him
by this newspaper episode, and greatly
humiliated at the thought that anj- one
A. W. Mnchcn, superintendent
of free delivery service, sus
pended from duty during
postal-fraud investigation.
would believe him guilty of the utterances
alleged In these newspaper articles; that
ans one could believe .him so poor a sol
dier to be indifferent to the lives of the
men he commanded was to him a source
of deep regret."
Secretary Roofs indorsement is as fol
lows:
"War Department, "Washington, May 8,
1903. It appears bs' this vers' exhaustive
investigation, in which testlmons' was
taken under oath bs' a duly authorized of
ficer, that the publication ascribing to
General Baldwin statements reflecting
upon the Filipino soldiers In the service
of the United States, and also upon the
negro soldiers of the United States, was
false: that no such statements were made
bs' him.
"The papers accompansing tho -report
of the Inspector-Goneral leaves no doubt
in my mind as to the clearness of his
conscience. The report and papers will
be filed without further action.

RAILWAYS ARE TIED UP
VICTORIA HAS A BIG STRIKE
STATE ROADS.
ON
Eleven Thousand Men "Walk Oat
Government Calls "Extra Session
of Parliament.
MELBOURNE, Victoria, May 9. The
railroad strike commenced at midnight,
and all state roads are tied up. Demon
strations previously occurred In front of
newspaper offices and troops were eent
to patrol the streets. Otherwise the city
is quiet.
The strike Is the outcome of a curious
dispute between the government and the
railroad employes regarding the right of
the latter to affiliate themselves with the
Victoria Trades Hall, the headquarters
or trades unionism in this colons'. The
emplos'es of the railroads are practically
servants, and the government holds that
in case of a strike in other trades affili
ated with the Trades Hall, the railroad
men would be obliged to strike In sym
paths. and therefore the government has
notified the railroad men that unless thev'
withdraw from the Trades Hall before
May 12 they will be dismissed.
The Engineers Association replied that
unless the government withdrew Its no
tification they would strike, which was
done. The government has guaranteed
double wages for two months to non
strikers, and has notified the men that
they will lose their pensions by tho strike.
About 11,000 railroad men are involved in
tho dispute.
The government has arranged for a lim
ited passenger service, but freight traffic
Is entirely suspended. Up to the present
time the strike Is confined" to drivers and
firemen. Already there has been a sharp
Increase, in the prices of provisions and
fuel. Over 3000 miles of railroad are af
fected by the strike. A prolonged stop
page of traffic would parals'ze trade and
cause untold dish-ess In the country dis
tricts. It is alleged that the strikers have been
promised aid from English and American
trades unions.
The government has called a special ses
sion of Parliament, which will meet next
"Wednesday, when it is expected the gov
ernment's action will be upheld. It tls
thought the labor party can Influence a
large section .of the members of the Leg
islature, and a prolonged and disastrous
struggle Is expected unless a compromise
Is arranged.
Arrangements are being made to dis
patch the coast malls bs steamer and to
transport the Inland malls bs' coach. Sev
eral engines have been derailed as a re
sult of the unfamlliarity of the service
of the men who have been obliged to act
as substitutes.
SHOWS FRANCE IN FIXE COLORS.
King: Edward's Visit N'evr Proof Thar
It Has Been Misjudged.
PARIS, May 8. The Figaro this morn
ing publishes Interviews with Foreign
Minister Delcasse and Sir Edmund Mon
Bon, British Ambassador to France, on
the subject of King Edward's recent visit.
M. Pelcasse said:
"The spontaneity of the testimony of
esteem and ss'mpathy which followed
King Edward's visit Is most precious to
us, following as It did the brilliant man
ifestations in Algiers and the presence of
the American squadron at Marseilles. The
visit of King Edward proves again that
Europe renders injustice to the policy of
France.
"This policy is clear and straightfor
ward, as recently has been said in this
Chamber. Its Invariable basis, the pivot
of Its whole external action. Is tho Rus
sian alliance; strong in this, we are more
disposed to favor all rapprochements, the
Interests of which are manifest. We are
Intent upon remaining an element of
moral and material equilibrium, and it is
to the service -of these ideas that we put
out our national power. The government
has understood this, and I congratulate It
for having done so. It is superfluous to
insist upon the advantage of Great Britain
and France living In an atmosphere of
good will which renders easy the settle
ment of those problems arising dajr by
day In all parts of the world where both
countries have Interests. The visit of
King Edward has contributed to the crea
tion of this atmosphere."
"It Is vers agreeable for me to declare,"
said the British Ambassador, "that tho
issue of King Edward's journey has ren
dered me profoundly happs. The ties
which exist between France and Great
Britain are too many and too close for
our friendship to be one of natural law
onls'. King Edward accomplished an act
of friendship in coming to France and his
act has been understood with an unanim
ity over whloh we all have cause to re
joice' N'O FEARS ABOUT MACEDONIA.
Russia Regards n General Revolt as
Improbable.
ST. PETERSBURG May 8. Notwith
standing the recent serious events in
Macedonia, the Russian Foreign Office
does not regard the situation as being dis
quieting, basing its belief in its unshaken
faith of the other losal powers particu
larly concerned. Russia holda that the
Bulgarian Government's attitude Is cor
rect, and that It Is impossible to prevent
revolutlonars' bands crossing the frontier
into Turkes'. or to wholly check the pa
triotic movement. Austria's los'alty Is
likewise unquestioned. Her difficult do
mestic situation renders the prospect of
international difficulties peculiarly- dis
tasteful to her, and consequently Mace
donian events must alone determine the
situation.
Thes do not presage a general revolt
this year. April was the most dangerous
period, the weather in that month favor
ing Insurgent operations, while Turkes
was still unable to mobilize her troops in
the field, and apparently is meeting the
situation. The present attitude of the
Russian government may be summed as
hopeful and reserved. The situation, how
ever, does not warrant predictions.

IRELAND SEES EMANCIPATION.
Passage of Laad Bill Hailed as. a
i Great Historical Event.
LONDON, May 8. That the great Irish,
land bill should have- been introduced un
der a Unionist government and passed to
its second reading by the huge majority
of 417 is hailed by the Liberal newspapers
today as a remarkable historical-event, "a
great conversion," and a momentous step
in Irish emancipation. Gladstone's his
toric declaration In Parliament, "the ebb
ing is with you and the flowing tide is
with us," is recalled and his policy is
neia 10 oe justlnea.
It is pointed out that even staking the
imperial credit in tho solution of the land
problem, which Gladstone steadily op
posed as Involving a great danger, has
no terrors for the present Parliament and
government, so tremendous Is the change
that has come over men's minds with re
gard to Irish affairs. Yesterday's debate
In the House of Commons gave a further
Indication of a similar veering on the
question of home rule. Thomas Gibson
Bowles. Conservative, declared "home rule
has lost its terror for men," and Ernest
Fowler. Conservative, said he was "not
sure that a further local government win
not be required In the future."
An unusually large number of Irish
peers, including Lord Dunraven. listened
to yesterday's debate, and Henry "White,
secretars of the American Embasss', was
in the distinguished strangers' gallers'.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's ab
senco during the land bill discussions has
been much remarked about. Several Un
ionists abstained from voting yesterday.
The attitude of the government through
out the debate has raised great hopes that
a compromise will be reached in most of
the contested points, and that the bill
eventually will be adopted.

Doubt as to Movements of Ferdinand,

VIENNA, May 8. Doubt is expressed
in political circles here whether Prince
Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, will have the
courage to return to Sofia at the present
critical juncture of affairs. It is even
hinted that he may never return to tho
principality. This doubt has been Influ
enced by the receipt of two telegrams
from Bulgaria this evening. The first an
nounces that the Prince, who is in Paris,
has been attacked with a violent inflam
mation of -the throat, which causes him
great difficulty In breathing. The second
telegram tells of the publication at Varnla

Police or Every- Side.
Extraordinary police precautions had
been made to guard the safety of the
President during his stay in Los Angeles.
Secret service men surrounded him, made
way for him through the crowd and at the
station also, and when he alighted from
his carriage at the "Westminster Hotel.
In addition to the vigilance of the secret
service men, the Los Angeles police force
adopted more stringent measures against
the encroachments of the crowds. "West
minster Hotel, the temporary stopping
place of the President and party, was
surrounded by a cordon of police and
plain clothes officers. A rope was drawn
around the hotel, and no one except those
holding passes was admitted.
The annual Fiesta de las Flores, the
chief feature of which Is the elaborate
floral parade, waa arranged this year to
coincide with the visit of the President.
Unusual efforts had been made by the
fiesta committee to make this feature of
the celebration particularly attractive, a
sort of expression of the floral wealth of
Southern California. The floral parade
occurred this afternoon and was reviewed
bs the President and party as well ao
some 150,000 persons.
Returning to the hotel, the Presidential
party prepared for dinner, and at 6
o'clock dined with a large delegation of
state officials and invited guests. At 8
o'clock in the evening the President re
viewed the electrical parade, which was
the closing feature of the das's celebra
tion. Later he was driven to his train.
The Presidential train will leave at 6
A. M. for Ventura.
ADDRESSES COLLEGE STUDENTS.
President Shovrs the Importance of
a Good Physical Training-.
CLAREMONT, May 8. President Roose
velt's stop here, while brief, was none the
less enjoyed. He was greeted by a large
crowd of people and students of Pomona
College, whose president, John D. Gates,
Is an old friend of the Executive. The
principal feature of the stop here was the
President's address to the students of the
college. He was introduced by President
Gates, ana spoke as follows:
"Mr. President, Men and Women: Even
In a distinctly college and school gather
ing, I know you will not grudge my say
ing my first word of greeting: to those
whom before all others we honor for what
they did; to those because of whom we
have a country, a President or any meth
od of moving forward along the path of
greatness the men of the Grand Army.
I always envs you men of the Grand
Army because sou do not have to preach
you practiced. All we have got to do Is
to trs' to come up to the standard In peace
wblch s'ou set alike in war and la peace.
"It Is a vers good combination to have
the red with the white and blue. You can
see over there that Harvard, which Is my
college, has the red, and then comes and
blue and white of yours. It did me good
to get into a circle of higher education.
and listening to you I- thought at once ot
football. Ms friends and fellow-citizens,
it Is such a pleasure to be In this college
town today."
In speaking of the activities of -a college
life and the necessity for physical train
ing, the President said:
"There is not much need of educating
the body if one pursues certain occupa
tions, but the minute that you come to
people who pursuo a sedentary life there

win said:
"Too much credit cannot be given the
regular troops for the 3uperb manner in
which they have done the hard work in
the Philippines. They have shown Just
what stuff goes to make up the United
States Army.
"The Filipinos are indolent to a marked
degree end they have absolutely no con
fidence in what they are told to do by the
American officers. Possibly "this should
be modified to the extent that thesr have
no connaence in the promises made them.
This is due to their past 300y ears' experi
ence. In time it may be possible to edu
cate the Filipinos to exert themselves so
they will do something. The pacification
of the islands Is practically complete."
