THE POSTAL SERVICE, Interesting Extracts From the Report of the Postmaster General ‘MR. WANAMAKER DISCUSSES THE NEEDS OF COUX- ‘FRY AND CITY POST CFFICEA—THE TAR ROUTE AND OCEAN MAIL SERVICES—FIGHTING & MO- BOPOLY—WHAT WASHINGTON NEEDS. “A somewhat marked country boy's in- Stinct,” says Postmaster General Wanamaker in his annual report, “has not prevented me from taking the greatest interest, whether it has been effectual or not, in the pgstal needs of the great cities. The tubular post question has interested me greatly, and friends of mine have gathered valuable materiol about En- Fopean systems. I hope that the poole of New York, Brooklyn and other large cities an the members of Congress who represent them really mean that they want pneumatic tubes for the transmission of mails. for the system, though expensive in its introduction. is effect- ‘aland will certainly be self-sustaining po — . I thoroughly believe in it Preat reforms do not come the small ones do. department employs stamp-canceling ma- ehines, which remove sume of tho causes of er- Fors in post offices. MOULD NOT BE SELF-SUSTAINING. “have never believed that,” he continues, “the department should rightfully be expected to be self-sustaining; but the factis that the congressional base of supplies expects it to be s0, and Ihave consequently tried to draw bet- ter and more numerous efforts out of the whole service tha:t formerly and ata smaller cost. The revenue has been upward of five millions more than ever before. The deficit is unques- tionably decreasing and will entirely disappear in the next fiseal year, as per estimate. If Con- gre-s thinks it advisable the service may com- ence to be self-sustaining on July 1, 1893. “It is possibie to develop two new methods of quickening and making more frequent the deliveries and collections in cities. It would be marvelous to see a letter box for collec- tions, as weil as for deliveries, on the door of every man’s house, but it is not impossible. It isentircly probable that the street railwa Post office may be found adaptable and capabl Of great utility, and by utilization of both these means the matis will be accelerated almost be- yond imagination. “I try never to forget the country. The ap- Propriation of €10,000,which the last Congress allowed for the free delivery experiments did not seem a large sum, but it showed all signs of actually corning over £3,000, and this most interesting fact is probably the beginning of universal free delivery, and that would mean countless benefits for rural dweilers. FOURTH-CLASS POSTMASTEUS. “I commend a bili for the appointment cf fourth-class officials, upon information fur- nisbed by supervisors, to the attention -— gress and of the postmasters themselves. It is a wrod thing tostady. Irecommend the aboli- tion of personal surctyships of postmasters, a3 too many of them are under obligations which prevent the strictest performance of their best work, and finally, as still another measure for the usefulness of the service in all its ramifica- tions, I recommend a very general extension of the money-order system. “I believe more earnestly than ever that the telegraph ought to be applied to the postal serv- ioe to that the ‘two grest systems, lice the rail- road and postal service, may auicken and cheapen transmission of messages for the bene- fitof the unserved many, and I would mal the application of the telephone to the postal service an adjunct quite as important, because of its susceptibility of extension into rural neighborhoods. The whole object of the postal system is to transmit intelligence. FIOMT AGAINST A MONOPOLY. “A monopoly has prevented the adaptation of the quickest methods of communication to the great common method; but the fight of any monopoly is of necessity a losing one. Its character before the last Congress would have shown that if no other evidence had. The hh and postal telephone simply ical events, be kept away from it. The proposition for the:r consolida- tion with it, for the mutual benetit of each, ie tas simple und businesslike as it ever was. urge just as earnestly as ever, too, the experi- ment of poste] depositeries, where the working le, who are remote from any opportunity to mve, may become forehanded snd pros- Perous. ~‘There is great need of a wider transporta- tion of packages by mail, but Ido not urgo it until the greater and more necded improve- ‘ments in the service are made. One-cent post- age, too, is uot immediately to be undertaken, but it can be made possible by the Ist of Ja Naty, 189%. if desirable, before the service is farther perfected. It will come the easier if we let the reduction of the foreign rate waita while: if we simplify inland postage rates #0 that all postages may be rightly collected; if we consolidate third and fourth-class matter, and if we secure credit for the government mails and other losing business. which the de- partment under present law is obliged to do. THE STAR ROUGE SERVICE. “I think we shall be able to deliver and col- lect mail along star routes, and successful etperiments have already been made in the direction of rural deliveries in suburban pieces by means of electric. roads. | I purpose do away with the renting of boxes in post Offices served by free delivery, because it is manifestly unjust that persons outside of the delivery should be charged for an inconven- fence which they cannot at present get rid of, and Iearnestly urge that the bill to entitle towns ue small as 5,000 population to enjoy the free delivery service be “The investigations of the year adduce mty of good reasons why it would be a use- Patriotic, thing to build @eneraiiy sail public buildings for post Offices. question hardly admits of argu- ment, the more so because of the antiquated, haphazard method of obtaming quarters.” REORGANIZATION OF THE DEPARTMENT. Mr. Wanamaker refers with satisfaction to the reorganizatiou of the department, due to the creation by the last Congress of the office @f the fourth assistant. He states that one of the best results of the reorganization is that the Postmaster General is given an opportunity topay attention to the large problems really ting the improvement of the postal service. ‘There is time now, he thinks, for the Post- master General to ‘study how ‘this, like any other business, may be put alittle in advance of the growth of the country. Considerable space is given to the introduction of the merit system Fegulating promotions in the department. ‘and the extension of the same system to fifty Of the larger post offices. Under this system, he states, from the smallest of the classified post Offices the workers will now begin to climb first through the various grades of the post office to the railway mail service and finally to the Post Office Department. GUATIFYING RESULTS OF THE MenrT stsTEX, “The results of this competitive merit system fm the Post Oftice Department,” he adds, “have been extremely gratifying. There isa notice- able absence of pressure for the advancement of clerks who base their claims upon other considerations than just deserts. There is marked improvement in the quantity quality of the work done from day to day, sconsiderable diminution in the number and @xtent of petty absences.” The execution of the act of September 19, 1890, concerning lotteries has been, he states, effective enough almost entirely to divorce the mails from the business of the lottery company. ‘The statistics of the dead letter office show that in 1859 there were received an average of $93 lottery letters per month, while during the eleven months beginning with December, 1890, and ending with October, 1891, the monthly av- erage of these letters received was ouly sixty- two. He speaks of the active prosecutions that are in progress of violations of the law and adds that he will obtain from the Attorney General an opinion as to whether Congress has “the power to prohibit the express companies from carrying this lottery matter, which the law declares to be unmailable. THE OCRAN MAIL SERVICE. An account is given of the execution of the law providing for the ocean mail service and the advantages of the contracts authorized in expediting the time and in stimulating the ing of American vessels are pointed ont. ‘The establishment, in connection with the San Francisco post office, of a branch dead let- ter ofice, to which should be sent all matter originating west of the Rocky mountains, is rec- pacee petals tamer depart- irge.y promotive as well ‘of theconvenience of aconsiderable proportion of the of the mails. This branch office ‘abould work upon the same lines approved by Jong experience as the main office xt Washing- ton does, and should, of course, be subject to ‘the supervision of the department. RESPONSES OF FOSTMASTERS. It appears that 375 postmaster, in response to circular requests, wrote reviews of the last | excited of. the ot nd; Soe propetitions ure received by tho the pre 10% informed and inquiring minds. ‘The Postmaster General renews his postal districts, and addaces man: the reform would be beneficial. he the county seat visitations have resulted submission of 2,100 out of a 2,800, and that the condition of 45,600 covered. SUCCESSES OF THE SEA POST OFFICES. The Postmaster General recounts the suc- plorment of @ post office steam tug to ply in New York harbor between arriving steamers pamlo Firmen Cityand w town ferries, so that seve ours, perhaps a: some cases, may be sated. Ho recoumends private indemnity for lost registered @ail, showing how cheap it would be to the department from the fact that only one piece out of every 12,000 or more of registered mail is lost. He announces changes inthe postal guide which will make it contain popular information and enable it to be sold for 1 cent instead of 5. WHAT WASHINGTON NEEDS. “The site for the new post office building in Washington has been fixed by the government, but the condition of the post office building now in use was so unsatisfactery that I deter- mined not to authorize its continued occupancy for the inevitably long time that will be taken tu complete the new structure. Propositions were invited by public advertisements for the erection of a temporary structure, and of the proposals received I selected one for a com- ious building on G street between 7th and Sth northwest, only a short distance from the resent location, in the immediate reighbor- Pood of the cable lines, close to one of the busiest thoroughfares of the city, and not too far removed from both the railway stations. ‘A contract was executed to leave thi duilding when completed for a term of thre years, with the privilege of renewal, at an anaual rental of $16,000; and there was an additional stipulation that the owners are to place in the building new, improved post office furniture and equippents to the value of $10,000. That portién of the new building under lease will contain not less than 50,000 square fect, or two and one-hulf times the whole now available. It will be so arranged that uot a single office necessary to be visited by the publi@will be above the first floor. suppose it would be considered 20 con- cern of mine, but what Washington needs is a commission of citizens, engineers, members of Congress, and perhaps cabinet officers. to sug- gest how some wise, economical and far-seeing plan for the erection of needed public build- ings might be accomplished according to a defirite, artistic, business-like plan. It would mean a saving in the end of $20,000,000 per- haps, and meantime the architectural. hodge- ige, whose only merit is its infrequency, Would disappear and the executive depart- ments would be housed in buildings owned by be ° government and forming part of a splendid bark ate ee THE U. 8. TREASURY. Facts Stated in the Annual Report of ‘Treasurer Nebeker. The annual report of Treasurer Nebeker to the Secretary of the Treasury shows that the net ordinary revenues of the government for the past fiscal year were $392,612,447.31, or $10,468, 535.32 less than those of the year before. ‘The net ordinary expenditures, exclusive of the amounts paid in premium on bonds purchased, were €355,372,634.74, an increase of $57,636,- 198.14. The surplus revenues were thus cut down from $105.344.496.03 to €37,239,762.57, which last sum was applied to the reduction of the public debt. The postal revenues amounted to €65,762,908.55 and the expenditures to $72,- 067,590.65, an increase of about €5,000,000 on both sides On June 30, 1890, there stood charged to the treasurer on the books of the department a balance of 9691,527,403.76, representing the excess of previous ‘receipts over expendi- tues. To this were added the re- ceipts of the year from all sources, amounting to $765.$21,305.06, which made an aggregate of $1,457,348,708.82 to be accounted for. The disbursements by warrants, includ- ing those on account of the public debt, were $731,126,376.22, leaving a balance of €726,222,- $82.60, for which the treasurer was required to be able to produce cash or other assets. BOXDED DEBT REDUCTIONS. » ‘The reduction effected during the year in the Principal of the bonded debt and the circulat- ing notes which cannot be reissued amounted to $116,590,273.89 and required an expenditure of €126,991,494.48, including the premiums on bonds purchased. This sum was made up by taking $39,751,731.91 from the reserve in the THE SITUATION IN OMIA. Fopean Powers, ‘The situation in China is attracting great at- tention in political circles in all the European capitals. This is not only due to the fact that several of the powers have made demands upon the Chinese government regarding the treat- ment of their respective subjects in that coun- try, which the present condition of affairs prevents being settled, but because of the ex- treme importance attached to the reports that England has come to an understanding with China by which mutual aid will be rendered in the event of certain contingencies. This Anglo- Chinese agreement, however, is semi-officially denied in London and is said to be a canard. The Zclair of Paris publishes an interview had with the Chinese c! d'affaires there. The representative of the Chinese government holds optimistic views regarding the situation of affairs in China, and expresses the most implicit confidence that the government will have no occasion to take any extreme measures to suppress an attempt ! uprising. The charge d'affaires d that the news of late received frem China regarding the dis. turbances in several parts of the country, par- arly in the north, is greatly exaggerated. ‘The fears expressed that the rebels in the north might push on their march past the great wall and resch and invest the city of Pekin are calmly brushed aside by the’ charge d'affaires, who says that instead of the government staking its existence on a decisive battle with the insurgents it would only be necessary for the imperial troops to shiow themselves in battle drray to so fright the rebels as to cause them to flee. The charge d'affaires further snid that he was not aware that any power had asked explau tions from China. ‘In any case,” he said, “we are quite ready to eseure the powers that we have done und will continue to do our utmost to protect Eu- ropeans in China.” he corresponden’ of the Figaro cf Paris cables from Shanghai that negotiations have been opened to bri-g about un alliance be- tween England end China for the purposo of coping with Russia. The correspoudent adds that China is sending troops tothe Pamir to check the Russian movements in that tof | the world, claiming that Russia is encroaching on her territory. A BATTLE WITH THE REBELS. A dispatch from Pekin says: Tho Chinese government has received an official report from Brigadier Gee. Nich, commanding the troops in the Kinchow district, announcing that he engeged and defeated the rebels on November 27 snd 28, killing their leader and 600 men. The general commanding the imperial forces at Jeno also announces successful engagemeat with the rebels. The London Chronicle's correspondent ut Tientsix telegraphs: “it is reported that aband of rebels has murdered a Mongolian prince. Some more villages have been sucked looted, and all the natiye Christian residents have been found mavsacred. The mandarins are not attempting to stop the butchery, which is being executed by an association called the Temperance League, the objec: of which is the extermination of foreigners and Christians. ‘The senior British oficer here has received an Official message from Niuchang stating that the revoit there has been suppressed and the rebels dispersed. A lacome dispatch from Chinese sourees announces that a number of the rebels have been summarily beheaded.” Sir John Walsham, British winister to China, in a telegram to the British foreign oftice con firms the report of an outbreak of brigands, assisted by a secret association, west of Jehol and beyond the Great Wali. The minister says: “Possibly the insurgents have also been joined by Chinese Mobammedans from Mongolia. It is reported that two or three important | towns have Leen captured and that hundreds of natives have been massacred. ‘There is no reason to believe that any Europeans have been killed. ‘the 6,000 picked troops which the government hay dispatched to the scene ought to be able to quel! the rising.

Kiang to Ichang ‘This region is quiet.” ‘The French ambassador at Rome has made overtures to Premier Rudini for Italian inter- vention in China. ‘The premier declines to act until he recgives an official report from the Italian minister at Fekin. A DEMAND OF CHINA. It is stated at Shanghai that the French min- ister hay made an imperative demand on thé Chinese government for the punishment of the rebels who perpetrated the masaacre of the Belr gian priosts and nuns and the exemplary degra dation and punishment of the mazdavins who feasted and encouraged the rioters. ‘The min- ister, it is said, stated that France would hold China responsible for the outrages, and that it was unnecessary for his govermmint to know whethe: China was unable to protect foreigners residing in its territories. ‘The Chinese profess their avility to punish all who were engaged in treasury in addition to the surplus revenues of the year. The consequent reduction in the annaal interest charge was 24.322,092.35. The amount of mouey in the country on the 30th of June, exclusive of certificates in circu- lation for which the treasury heid deposits, was $1,676,078,102, of which 180,412,019 be- longed to the treasury and 21,495,666,083 was in circulation. ‘There was a net loss of £49,000. 000 of gold, a net gain of upward of $40,000,000 of other money and.aconsequent contraction of about $9,000,000 in the whole volume. INCREASE IN CIRCULATION. ‘The treasurer computes that during the past ten years there has been an average increase of ‘$52,200,000, from the end of June to the end of December, in the amount of money actually in circulation, followed by an average decrease of 14,200,000 from the end of December to the end of June. The increase realized in the past Year has been nearly double this average of $33,000,000, and in the last _two years the aver- age has been exceeded by 243,000,000.

J., yesterday » When the down train, which leaves Yor Cape May City at 10 o'clock, was flying through a dense swamp two miles below Tuckahoe the engineer suddenly spied a large heap of heavy timber piled upon the track ‘about $00 yards distant. He quickly whistled for brakes to be applied.and reversed his en- gine and brought the train to a standstill not thirty yards from where the obstruction was piled up on the track, ‘The train had bat two cars and about fifteen Passengers. The passengers trainmen quickly alighted and found that heavy ties hind been piled across the track and heavy picees of 1ron spiked across them. Before attempting to remove the obstruction the trainmen searched in the surrounding woods to discover the perpetrator of the das- tardly deed. Nota hundred yards from where the train was stopped the conductor, who was ahead of the searching party, found a big burly man nearly six fect in height hiding back of a large tree, He immediately started for the conductor, who was no match for the man and was badiy beaten, but the others suc- ceeded in overpowering and capturing his as- saiiant. The man admitted to tho trainmen that he committed the deed, and said he was only sorry he had not succeeded in throwing the train off = track. n angry mob had by this time gathered at the scene. He narrowly escaped being lynched at the hands of the passengers of the train and those who had gathered around. He refused to give his name and was taken back to Tuckakoe, where he was given a hear- ing before a justice of the peace. Nearly all of the inhabitants of the little village rushed to the justice's office and again tried to get pos- Session of the man. He was closely guarded by constables and was safely locked up in the county jail at Cape May court house last a ‘The greatest excitement prevailed at Tuck- ahoe and it was feared an attempt would be toade to get the man from the jail and lynch him. He stubbornly refused to give his name. It is supposed that the man is one of the many empl of the road who are owed large sums of money by the road, which is just now deep in litigation and insolvent. ° sctactieseniona MISTAKEN FOR A BURGLAR. A Young Carpenter Killed While Trying to See Into a Friend’s House. Asad tragedy occurred at Duquesne, near Pittsburg, Wednesday night, resulting in the death of Harry Bowmaster, a carpenter, of that place. Bowmaster and two other young men, Linkhorn and Atkinson, were driuking beer during the evening. and about 12 o'clock Low- master suggested that the party adjourn to Taylor's house and enjoy themselves. He did not know Taylor was at home. Arriving at tho house, Bowmaster said he would firs: see who was at home. In order to look through a widow he had to climb a fence. Before he got down from the fence Taylor came around the corner of the house with his Winchester rifle, and crying out: “What are you doing there?” fired, killing Bowmaster in- stantly. The two men with waster ran, and were shot at several times. ‘Taylor gave himself up. He was held by the coroner fur willful murder and committed to jail, Mrs, Taylor has not been arrested. Bow- master, who was well thought of, leaves a wite and three small children. owmaster had been on friendly terms with the Tuylors for some time. BURNED TO DEATH IN A SALOON. Three Women Come to a Terrible End in an English Drink Shop. A dispatch from Sunderland, Eng., states that a fire occurred in a drink shop there yes- terday, which resulted in the death of three women. The flames, fed by the spirits in the place, burned with most intense beat aud spread with frightful rapidity. ‘(he landlord rushed upstairs to save his wife and children, but when he attempted to return the staircase was a mass of flames. ‘The wnole family made their way to the windows of the second story. and paying no attention to the cries of the ex- cited crowd on the street they jamped out. For¥arately they ail esetped without serious injury. ‘Tho three women who lost their lives were in | the driuk shop. The fire in the room whe: the spirits were sold burst out with a roar, and inasecond the place was a seething mass of flames. ‘The women had no possible chance of saving themselves. When found their bodic were burned out of all semblance to humanity. = _— COKE WORK SS COMBINE, The New Organization to Be Knownas the Federated Brotherhood ‘The announcement of the formation of a new coke workers’ organization has created more than ordinary interest in Pittsburg labor cir- cles. The latest move of the cokers is a xignifi- cant one, inasinuch as it will conflict with the United Mine Workers, which for years has had the controlling power of that district. As ontlined in a telegram from Scottdale, the new organization is to Le known as the Feder- ated Brotherhood of Coke Workers of America, and will have at its head Robert D. Kerfoot, ex-master workman of the Conuelleville region. It is generally believed that the disgruutied members of the United Mine Workers are seek- ing revenge. ‘The disastrous result of the re cent strike caused thousands of coke workers to lapse in their dues tc the U. M. W. A. and there has since been a general feeling of dis content. Among labor leaders the opinion prevails th: he new organization will divide the 20,000 cokers and lively times will follow. woe : FOR AMATEURS, & New Idea by Which Non-Professtemal Athletes May Profit. It is proposed that cash prizes be awarded to amateurs, The advocates of this proposition are Charlea Luscomb, representative of the L A.W., and the nittee appointed by the central board of the A A. U. to select a class of prizes to Le awarded at athletic and bieycle feats. He believes that the word “amateur” as ap- plied in many cases at prevent is out of place and suggests arather novel way outof the difficulty. He suggests that the league and A. A.U. form two classes, pay cash prizes to one class of men and medals and certificates to nds,” said Mr. Lus- comb in speaking of the matter yesterday in New York, “the league gives prizes of pianos, ‘wash bills and other things which no man who ivan amateur should compete for. In my opinion racing men would much rather ride for money than any other prize. From my experi- ence in league racing shall strongly advocate the tlisa system. The league, of course, will hold strict jurisdiction over cash, as well us the amateur claws. Ihave no donbt ‘but this will be the final judgment renched not only by the league, but by the Amateur Athletic Union.” oak Auta pa aca + The Sixth of the Name. ‘The new armored cruiser New York, enye the New York Times, has lad five predecessors of the same name in the uavy. ‘The first NewYork made her aprearance in the American fleet on Lake Champlain. ‘Tho seccnd New York was a frigate of 1,196 tons, mounting thirty-six guns.
