The two latest important developments in the investigation of the sensational abstraction of paper* from the safe of the office of the assistant attorney general for the Postoffice Department, which led to the dismissal of that official, were the submission of what purported to be the papers to the inspection of the postal 'officials, and the decision of Postmaster General Payne to immediately relieve Acting Assistant Attorney General G. A. C. Oiristiancy from his office.' pending an investigation of his conduct. The action in the case of Mr. Christiancy was taken at his own request. He slates that be courts the fullest investigation. Mr. Christiancy has held the office of assistant attorney since Jannary 1, 1901, and has been in charge of the legal affairs of the department most of the time since then, owing to General Tyner's absence,
