McKinley Portrait to Replace Jefferson on Postal Board
The U S post office department will issue a new postal board bearing McKinley’s portrait instead of Jefferson’s. Senate changes to the war revenue tax repeal retain the bucket shop tax. Hale directed fisheries inquiry into eastern seafish destroyed by dynamite and report remedies. Weather delayed preliminary surveys for the electric railway route. Halman’s surveying party waits for better roads, crucial for Hancock county’s future. Richardson’s bid to probe Captain Christmas Danish bribe report sparked swift, partisan reactions and an investigating committee was named. The President sent a Thursday message announcing Cuba government installation and requests funds for consular and diplomatic service including a ministerial post at $24,000.
