WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Postal officials are becoming restless as a result of the masterful inactivity of the district attorney of Washington and his assistant in handling the cases presented to the grand Jury here several days ago. Testimony against officials already under indictment, ami against two or three of the small fry who have not yet appeared in the scandal, was submitted to the grand jury several weeks ago. A prominent official of the department said to-day that Indictments should have been returned three weeks ago. The delay is attributed to the snail-like methods of Mr. Taggart, assistant district attorney, and it is understood here that if action is not soon taken the attention of the President will again be directed to the district attorney's office. Some time ago a complaint was made to the executive by Postmaster General Payne, and this resulted in great activity on the part of the district attorney and his assistants, indictments in a uumbcr of cases soon following.

Sutton, are held by the police in connection with the death of Mrs. Bowers's husband, who died on Tuesday, apparently of arsenical poisoning. It is alleged that after the death of her husband, Mrs. Bowers withdrew several thousands dollars from one bank and deposited the money in another bank in her own name and that Mrs. Bowers and eer husband had quarreled recently because of the attentions paid by a laborer to the woman. At the inquest a drug clerk. J. C. Petersou, testified that six days before the death of Bowers. Mrs. Sutton presented a prescription calling for arsenic. Dr. McLaughlin, who? name was attached to the prescription, denied having given such a prescription and a writing expert gave his opinion that the prescription was written by Mrs. Bowers. She admitted having purchased medicine from Peterson, but denied that it was arsenic Mrs. Bowers, in a statement, admitted drawing the money from the bank, but added: "l am innocent. 1 know nothing of any arsenic. 1 did not write the prescription.

That eminent contemporary, the Philadelphia Record, discourses thus on the sacred subject of turned-up trousers: "A mau s trousers, when a tailor presses them iu the summer, are nearly always pressed with the ends turned up, but in winter they are pressed turned down. 'Why.' a man said to a tailor the other day, "why this difference?' The tailor answered to this grave question: 'Trousers are pressed turned up in the summer because it is presumed that every man wears them turned up iu this season. He wears them so because in the summer he wears low shoes, and trousers that are not turned up catch at the back In such Ihooa But turned up they don't touch the, shoes; they don't catch in them; they set right. That is the main reason why we turn up trousers iu the summer. Another reason is that when warm, damp weather affec ts trousers' length, it makes them an inch longer, and sometimes, if they are heavy, it makes them two or three inches longer. Hence, if they were not turned up they would drag, like a woman's train, over the dirt.' " What a folderol Is this. Our summer trousers get thrc e inches longer in damp weather, and must be turned up at the bottom to keep them from dragging on the ground. Who buys these garments, pray, and what tailor with a soul above a pullet's would send them from his shop? Why, sueh a thing could not be truly said of the v. ry meanest pair of Shoddy pants marked down from $1.01 to 99 cents, and (loomed to slaughter on the bargain counter of a second-hand trade palace. Men of spirit will have none of them. Our beautiful and radiant Adoiphus, who populates excursion steamers, dances in the moonlight at waterside resorts, and carries beneath his 6-cent shirt a heart of gold, would rather be found dead in the rain than put his limpid leg Into clothing of such low degree. It may be that what the Record says is true of Philadelphia pants, but in Yashington nnd other Americau cities we have 'em made long on purpose, so that we may turn them up at the bottom and respectfully but lirml imitate the British aristocrat y and their American counterfeits. We do it because the Prince of Wales, some years ago. was seen with turned-up trousers by a New York drummer, who straightway took the first steamer for home to tell the domestic elite about it. In brief, we do it because we want to; because we like to feel that another tie of affection between us and our British cousins is thereb' established; because, if we can't be English, we want to look Kngiish. and we don't care a cent who knows it. But we dou't wear slop-shop breeches. We don't huy and our tailors would scorn to haudle material capable of getting three inches longer in a 'Irizzle and shortening up again under the iutluenee of clear weather. t harterlna Special Train. New York Times. Special trains are beOsSBlaf St DPsejMM now that they attract little attention, except th v BMun record runs for long dlsi. in es or unless there is some trouble collecting payment for them." said a veteran railroad man. "Ten years ago when I was division superintendent on one of the big trunk lin's running out of New York, a special train was an event that never failed to get mention in the newspapers. Station mast' rs required ample notice to get one in readiness, and there was a great deal of fuss niakiio arrangements all along the line. At any of the big railroad terminals in any city now a man can get a special engine and car to chase a flyer almost as easy as he can Cbacli his trunk. Only a few minutes' notice is required, and right of way is obtained for 1" or ik) miles along the line without noticeably distrubing schedule runs. A man who has to keep .n iMportanl buiness engagement, or a woman hurrying to a sick hiiMbaud, pays $10 or double that sum for a special with as little concern as paylug a supper check lu a swell hotel. We live in a rapid and extravagant age, and grow accustomed to such things."

TOO WINDY FOR YACHTS

NEXT CONTEST ON MONDAY START Will BE MADE EVERY DAY THIS WEEK IF XECESSARV. Britons Anxious for Sir Thomas to Change Crews irlth Reliance and Sail Five Races. NEW YORK. Aug. 29.-rFor the tirt time in the history of America's cup contests a race has been postponed because of too i much wind. To-day the third ot" the pres- : ent series of races was to have been sailed. Following the futile attempt of Thursday, when there was not enoufeh wind to complete the race within the time limit, it was earnestly hoped by yachtsmen that to-da s contest would be decisive and the series ! completed. Ten hours of Thursday's drifting storm broke over the cup course and raged about Sandy Hook. The water was tumbled into waves that troubled even an ocean liner. The wind blew with a velocity estimated between forty and fifty miles and the rain driven before it obscured the vision ' beyond a mile or two. Within the sheltering bend of Sandy Hook, where the two racing yachts rode at their moorings, the water was comparatively quiet this morning, while across the sandy peninsula on the ocean side the surface boomed as it broke upon the beach. At 7 o'c lock the regatta committee met at the New York Yacht Clubhouse and named Monday as the day for the next race. It was also decided to hold the rac I very day thereafter until the International contest is decided. The decision to race every week day was reached by mutual agreement between the challenge committee of the New York and Royal Ulster yacht clubs. Brltonn Want to Exrhanxp (rewi. LONDON. Aug. Ml A cable dispatch was sent to Sir Thomas Upton to-dny offering to guarantee the expenses if he will arrange for a series of live races between the Reliance and the Shamrock III with their crews exchanged. In approving of Sir Thomas's reported determination not to challenge again for the America's cup, tin- GHobe this- afternoon voices the despair which marks all the comment on the cup racing, saying: "Thers comes a time whtn Constant and inevitable defeat wearies even the most enthusiastic, and Sir Thomas ie well advised to relinjt,iiih the struggle In which his pluck is so generally recognized and before his failures have become a jest. While the American yacht builders jire so superior to their Knlish rivals we are not likely to regain the cup." s INC IDENT IU A HOTEL. Stranger Placed the Irlnh I'lnu Above "Old Olory" and a Row Followed. NEW YORK. Aug. 29 An appeal to the police has followed a scene of considerable excitement in the main dining hall of a Fifth-avenue hotel restaurant, arising from an altercation over the American flag, folonel Dyer, of the Twelfth Regiment New York National Guard, a captain in the same body and a stranger, are the persons said to have been the principal figures. Colonel Dyer and the captain were dining together. Yachting favors were distributed with the ice cream. They wore miniature yachts, one bearing the American and the other the Irish flag. When these were placed before the militiamen a stranger at an adjoining table arose, took the Irish Mag from the Captain's favor and placed it above the American. The captain's indignant response was to cset the green emblem upon the floor. Instantly the faces of the three men flushed with anger, and there was a heated altercation. Scores of diners, many d whom were women, arose in alarm. Colonel Dyer stepped into the street and summoned an officer. The latter refused to arrest the obstreperous stranger unless he committed an assault. Finally th colonel and his companions visited the district police station and demanded the arrest of the sträng t but were unable to procure it without a warrant, and the matter was dropped. Testimonial for Llpton. NEW YORK. Aug. 29 A committee, with the Western National Bank of New York city as treasurer, is forming for the purpose of raising a popular subscription with which to secure a testimonial to Sir Thomas Dipton. A silver service for the Erin has been suggested as suitable and it is proposed that all letters accompanying subscriptions be bound and presented with the testimonial. The plan is to have the subscriptious in smiU amounts so that it may beeonie a popular movement. Gen. Joseph Wheeler, to represent the South, and Senator Keane, of Utah, to represent the far West, already have been selected as members of the committee, "oi.

"Massacres iu Turkey unfortunately occur. But do they not occur in Christian lauds? No one would be so foolish as to hold the United States government responsible every time a negro is lynched.

close the contents of the cablegrams received last night from Minister Irishman, but said that the minister's advices were that the erroneous report on the assassination of Mr. Mageissen was due to the use of the wrong code number and not to any error in transmission. The information given in the cablegram was that the Governor called at the consulate and offered prompt action and would make every effort to find out and punish the would-be assassin. Mr. Irishman further advised the secretary that several of the consulates have reported to their governments that the condition of the city of Beirut at the lr sent moment is unsafe. The gtate Department to-day received a cablegram from Minister Irishman in which he stated that advices from the American consul at Harpoot and Beirut were to the effect that while the Americans in those places are in danger of suffering from an uprising at any time, the situation was not, at the time oi sending the dispatches, as grave as earlier reports would indicate. Mr. Lelshrhan has be:-n lltstructsd to notify the Turkish government that it must keep the peace and that it wiil be held to a strict accountability for any lawless acts towards American citizens. The Navy Department has received a cable message from Capt. Henry McCrea, iu command of the gunboat Machias, saying that he had finished coaling the ship and that it would start at once from Genoa to Port Said. The Navy Department has received a cablegram from Rear Admiral Cotton saying that the Brooklyn and San Francisco will sail for Beirut Sunday from Genoa. They have been delayed by coaling. The order for them to proceed to Beirut has not been changed. - ting Secretary Darling tn-day sent a cablegram to Rar Admiral Cotton informing him that Vice Consul Magelsson had not been killed, but had been fired upon. This was done to apprise the commanding officer of the squadron of the true situation 'at Beirut. The collier Alexander today was reported at Malta on her way to Manila with coal for the Asiatic station. She will next report at Port Said and If the exlgen is th-n necessary she will be held to supply the cruisers of the Kuropaan squadron with coal. LEISIf MA V DISPATt HI.
