Mr. Christiancy ten dered his resignation July 14 in a letter to Postmaster General Payne, m which he spoke of his ill health land asked to be allowed to retire., "unless investi gation of my official actions has in your judgment developed anything .re flecting upon my honesty or integrity."

The postmaster gen eral was lately Informed by Mr. Robb that no evidence had been adduced im pugning the hone-y of Mr. Christian cy, and there is, therefore, no good reason why his resignation should not be accepted. The postmaster general this afternoon, ln a brief note, advised Mr. Christiancy that his resignation would be accepted. .. . . or, ran say that I am pre- any-criticisms when made." j ,. .
