Washington Letter and Treasury Warnings From 1897 Dispatch
President McKinley returns to Washington for a Cabinet meeting to discuss climate terms with Consul General Lees amid public business. A suit seeking an injunction to block the Postmaster General from reducing a department employee is argued, with likely Supreme Court appeal. Post office data show August 1897 business up eight percent from 1896, after a string of monthly shifts. Additional notes discuss Spanish spy rumors, fortifications leaks, Hanna's Ohio bid, Klondike travel cautions, and rural news items as crops rise and local incidents occur.
