Gilmore finally sets forth in the affidavit that "prejudice ; in said state agninst ap- pellants is very strong," and then he asks that they be placed out of the reach of "a North Carolina mob." The political days of Perry S. .Heath, secretary of the Republican national committee, are about at an end. The Bristow report on the scandals in the post office department, which has not P yet been made" public, criticises-Heath I In a severe manner, to such an extent. In fact, that it will be useless for the Republicans to aain give him a posi- tion of any prominence. This criticism ! is, of course, directed at Heath while he was first assistant postmaster general. In this connection,? it is believed, the Heath criticism will even go so far as to reilect on tho nd- ...... ministration of Charles Emory Smith, formerly, postmaster general.

A revolution, which has broken oift in the northern part of ?tha republic of Santo Domingo and which already has resulted In the establishing a jprovisional government under the presidency of General Morales at Puerto Plata, is, according to advices " received here, caused by the numerous custom house- frauds and , tne prevarivaiipns ot me iiiimsiers ix i war and finance.

It is understood, however, that the president opposed, this course, as . he is desirous of having1 the Bristow report printed and made public as soon as possible. J , Postmaster General Payne and fourth Assistant Postmaster Bristow are inclined to make light of the alle- , gatlons that conditions In the Jocal ad ministration of the New York offic have been so bad as to deserve the at tention of a special committee. The coming investigation will be en tirely distinct and separate from the general investigations in the New York office, itself, which have grown out (of the administration there. Rentals will be inquired Into, the amounts paid for leases of various buildings being considered almost prohibitive by the post office department; expenditures for lighting and' heating In the main office and branch stations will be gone over for several years back; the salary rolls of the post office will be carefully inspected: and, in fact, every detail which might possibly contain some ele- . ment of mal-adminlstratlon will be gone Into at gTeat length and with great minuteness. Up to the present time Otto. Weiss, a clerk, who was charged with having I collected the "tax" exacted by the no torious promotion syndicate for ap pointments and advancements, is the only man in the New York post office who has been ; removed as a result of the scandal Investigation. It is Inter esting to note,! in this connection, that no announcement has ever been made by the investigators with regard to the promotion syndicate. General Brls tow's report, however, contains con siderable Interesting information with respect to this graft" scheme, and it was partially j due to this 1 fact that there was some hesitancy about making the report public before the commit tee Completed; its work.
