The post office authorities are already laying their plans for the next postal con- gress, which will be held in Washington two years from now. They are moved thereto by the expected visit in June of Director Hohn of the executive committee of the Universal Postal Union, who will discuss the work of the congress with Postmaster General Wilson. One of the principal topics of considera- tion will undoubtedly be that of the aboli- tion by national governments of all charges for carrying the mails between the different countries of the world, when passing through their own. At present each nation has to pay every other through which it sends its mails, while on their way to the country to which they are destined, for their transportation. When the United States sends mails to Austria, for instance, it must first of all pay the steamship com- pany; then it must pay Great Britain, Bel- gium or the Netherlands, according ¢o the route followed, and Germany. After it reaches ‘the Austrian boundary, its ex- penses are at an end. Each of these coun- tries is paid the same amount, whether it carries the mails over one mile or 500. Some countries, which have small mails of their own, but lie in the route of other great mail services, derive very large sums from this source, the expenses not belig nearly so large as the receipts. The actual sums to be paid are deter- mined once every three years. For four weeks, either in May or September, every country weighs all its incoming and out- going mails, and checks them up with the figures taken by each other country, and on this basis the charges are fixed. These are the only payments now made between rations for carrying mails. Up to a few years ago each nation re- deemed at a fixed rate all its own stamps arriving on letters in foreign countries, but this system was finally abolished, being too ecmplicated and cumbersome to continue. —— THE COURTS.

MARK’S VESTRY The Rector Publicly Declares the Parkman Vestry Legal. A STRIKING SCENE IN THE CHORCH No Successful Effort at Compromise’ Seemingly Possible. THE FUTURE IN DOUBT At 7:31 o'clock last evening St. Mark’s Church showed no sign on the outside of the presence of a congregation within. Not @ soul was to be seen on the sidewalk or the steps. But for the light streaming out through the pretty stained glass saints and apostles in the windows there would have been no indication of a meeting in the church. There was no one outside, because everybody was inside. Every seat was filled. The object of the meeting was stated in a notice published over the name of the rec- tor, Mr. Graham. It was to give the rector opportunity to make a statement to the membérs and attendants of the church who were willing to be guided by the rector’s advice in the settlement of the troubles of the parish. The main contention of the so- called Torbert vestry has been that many votes were illegally cast at the Easter elec- tion by persons connected with the mission of the church in Northeast Washington, and not worshipers at St. Mark's parish church. By these votes they claimed the other vestry was elected. They asserted that if these votes had been thrown out the Torbert vestry would have been elected by a good majority. On this ground the election was contested, but Mr. Graham last night declared his belief that the mis- sion votes were legal, and hence the Park- man vestry was lawfully chosen. No Effort to Concilinte. Mr. Graham, prompt as a cannon ball, be- gan his statement very soon after the half-hour stroke. Distinctly avowing that what he said must be painful to his hearers and with no desire te shield himself from any re- sponsibility for his own errors, Mr. Gra- ham set forth on a recital of the history of the whole trouble from the beginning, making a story which lasted fer over an hour. He had the rapt attention of the large congregation, and although all over the house there were at times indications of dissent and protest when men and wo- men Icoked into each others’ eyes, and new and then throughout the great audi- ence low, suppressed remarks were heard in the nature of retort and answer, still no speaker ever had more complete and tense attention than Mr.°Graham did throughout his long address. Newspaper Accounts. In the outset he alluded to newspaper representations of the difficulty as reflect- ing more or less accurately the comment and conversation of members of the church. Speaking of the criticisms among some of the members of the parish upoa the attitude of the rector in the use of the personal pronoun and in assuming that he was the center around which the church revolved, Mr. Graham said that if there Was any one person cround whom a church should revolve it was the rector and not the wardens or the vestry. Rector, he said, meant ruler. He reviewed at consid- erable- length the differences that had arisen in the parish. He paid high tributes to the character of gentlemen on both sides, and especially to Messrs. Parkman and Torbert. So far as a desire to keep the rector out of the quarrel went, that, he said, was out of the question. Petition From the Women. Mr. Graham then read a petition signed by 129 women of the parish, representing the Ladies’ Aid Society of the parish, and others, stating that they believed that the vestry declared elected at the recent elec- tion was illegal, and praying that he might take that view of it, as his indorsement would encourage the working members of the church, He said that he was made an issue by this petition. He then read the closing words of a letter sent him by a committee of the Torbert vestry. The closing passages of this letter said: “Upon your action will largely depend whether the lifeblood of the parish, once so fully flowing through its veins, carrying with it pulsations of an active, busy life, but now almost stagnant with the shock it has re- ceived, will again flow with its old vigor, revivified by a strength gathered from knowledge of your co-operatio: This the speaker assumed meant that the Torbert party intended to withdraw their support from the rector and church. The Paid-For Votes. Speaking of the lists of voters, Mr. Gra- ham said that for thirty days before the Easter election the names of all who voted were inscribed in the parish register. No new voters were added at the last minute. No objection was made to these names. As to the charge that votes were paid for, Mr. Graham said that the men from the mis; sion were, as a rule, poor; they had had no work the past winter, and members of the parish had paid for them the $2 necessar to make them voters. The charge of buy- ing votes was a very serious one. If true that votes had been bought, it reflected up- en the Parkman faction as having done an iilegal and improper thing, and if it were not true, it put the Torbert faction in the position of having told a lie. Without reading the letter or having it with him, Mr. Graham quoted Bishop Varet as declaring in a letter prior to the Laster election that members of the mission were entitled to vote when they had paid the necessary $2 toward the maintenance of the mission. The Parkman Vestry Sustained. Mr. Graham closed his speech in a mo- ment of impressive silence. As he picked up deliberately one after another the sev- eral papers which he had read in the course of his statement the vast congregation al- most held its breath. He declared that he had done all he could to bring about a com- promise; he could not undo the work of the election; that he must consider the Park- man vestry as the legal vestry of the church, and that he would hold to this de- cision, notwithstanding 75 per cent of the church, contributing 85 per cent, perhaps, of the revenues, would be disappointed by that decision. He announced he should meet the Parkman vestry this evening at 8 o'clock. At the close he gave representatives of either faction opportunity to be heard, but neither side desired to speak. A Pence-Making Proposition. Dr. Hubbell, who said he was a member of Christ Church, rising in the rear of the church and speaking as a peacemaker, sug- gested that the parish should increase the number of its vestr'ymen from ten to fifteen and by admitting to the additional number members of the Torbert vestry thus com- promise the difficulty and increase the use- fulness and poaver of the church. This proposition was at once pronounced wholly unfeasible by Mr. Graham, as the canons prescribed the number of the ves- try. Without further remarks the meeting dismissed, the members of the parish lin- gering for nearly an hour longer in little knots discussing the rector’s remarkable speech and speculating upon the future of the church. Quite a gathering of parish- ioners assembled around Dr. Graham in the center aisle when Mr. Kent called his at- tention to the fact that he had not read all the letter sent him by the Torbert vestry- men, and that eéforts at a compromise had been made by the Torbert faction, which the Parkman party seemed likely to ac- cept, but which had been summarily stop- ped by Mr. Earnshaw. The knots of lis- teners and talkers gradually broke up and the congregation went out into the cool, balmy, peaceful night. To Appenl to the Convention. Mr. W. T. Kent of the Torbert vestry told a Star reporter today that his party still maintained its original position, not- withstanding the action of the rector at last night's meeting. “The issue,” he sald, “is one involving the principle whether the people of the mission have the right under the law to vote for wardens and vestrymen at the parish meeting.

Easterly winds, laden with moisture from the Atlantic, have continued over the mid- dle-eastern coast districts. The eastern rain area has, however, largely contracted since yesterday and will probably disappear within the next twenty-four hours. The total rainfall since the beginning of the storm has aggregated 5.31 inches at Wash- ington, a depth exceeding the average rain- fall in this city for the entire month of April. Rain has also continued generally throughout the western states, a depth of more than one inch being reported within the last twenty-four hours at Hannibal, Mo., Wichita, Kan., and Bismarck, N. Dak.

Mr. Graham's decision to recognize the de facto vestry did not by any means settle the principle as to the qualifications of voters at a parish meeting. We propose to sub- mit that question to the diocesan conven- tion when it meets here next month, and we will faithfully abide by the decision rendered by the convention. “We have no Intention of carrying the matter to the courts, and jf anything of that kind is done it will have to be done by the other party. I violate nd confidence in saying that our committee is not at all sat- isfied with the rector’s presentation of the case at last night's meeting, Inasmuch as he did not fully present the issie as it was outlined in their address to him. I have too much respect for the church and the cloth to criticise Mr. Graham for his treat- ment of the case, but und>f all the circum- stances I feel that we are fully’ justified in appealing to the convention.” DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Daily Garbage Collection. Two days ago the Commissiotiers ordered the garbage contractor ta make a daily collection of garbage during the months of May and June at an extra ‘compensation of $1,000 per month. According to‘the “secre- cy rule’ of the Commissjgners, all orders are to be given to the press Immediately upon their consummation, yet this is not always done, and a gretit many opinions of interest to the public ate never seen. The daily garbage service Will begin at 15th and B streets northwest, and running thence to 6th street, thence to P street, to 18th street, to Pennsylvania avenue, to 15th street, and thence to place of beginning. Want Protection From the Weather. A committee consisting of S. Howison, Horace Crosier and James C. Reeves called upon the Commissioners yesterday and pre- sented a petition of the wholesale market gardeners requesting the erection of cov- ered sheds for the protection of the public and gardeners, the latter agreeing to pay rent for the same as long as used. If the Commissioners agree to this and make the provision asked for, the gardeners agree to vacate the space occupied by them on the south side of B street northwest. ——_—_—_ With Music and Dancing. The announcement that the Family Shoe Store would be thrown open for a grand promenade concert last evening was suffi- cient to crowd their big double stores—310 and 312 7th street—with a throng of visit- ors. Prof. Goodman's orchestra rendered a program of popular music between the hours of 7 and 10 o'clock. Thousands of rcses and other ct flowers were distributed to the lady visitors. During the evening the floor was cleared and Master Chrissie Sproesser gave an exhibition of fancy dancing. Messrs. J. and M. Strasburger, proprietors, were the recipients of many congratulations upon the success of the event. ee Brief Filed in the Dana Libel Case. United States District Attorney Macfar- land yesterday at New York filed his brief in the Noyes-Dana libel case with Judge Brown of the United States district court, before whom an application for a warrant for the removal to Washington of Charles A. Dana for criminal libel on Mr. F. B. Noyes is pending. Counsel for Dana have not yet filed their brief. It is expected that a decision will be handed down in ten days.

NO VERDICT FOUND Failure of the Wilde Jury to Agree, BLAME FOR THE ELBE DISASTER Captain of the Steamer Crathie Ex- onerated. GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS —_+—____ LONDON, May 1.—In the Old Bailey court today Justice Charles summed up the case against Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, accused of serious misdemeanors. The justice in so doing said that counsel for the prosecution acted wisely in with- drawing the charge of conspiracy brought against Wilde, as he, Justice Charles,would have ordered the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty on that Specification. He ad- mitted that there was corroboration of the witnesses, but the jury, he added, would have to weigh the characters of men like Parker, Wood and Atkins, whom Sir Ed- ward Clarke, in the justice’s opinion, prop- erly described as blackmailers. The justice also urged the jury not to be influenced by Wilde's writings, saying that many great men had written indecently. The jury should exercise their own judgment as to whether Wilde's letters to Lord Alfred Douglas breathed an unnatural passion, and he also said the relations between Shel- ly and Wilde would be an interesting mat- ter for the jury’s judgment. The jury retired at 1:30 p.m. At 3 p.m. the jury requested that lunch be given them. After lunch the jury resumed their delib- erations, and afterward returned and an- nounced that there was no possibility of coming to an agreement as to a verdict. Counsel for the prisoners then made ap- plication for bail, but his request was re- fused, and a fresh jury will probably be summoned. When the news of the disagreement reached the outside of the court room there Was great excitement among the crowds in the streets, and the extra editions of the evening papers, which were issued within a few minutes after the result of the trial became known, weve bought up quickly by the throngs of people who surrounded the newsboys. When Sir Edward Clarke, coursel for Wilde, asked for bail, Justice Charles said nee! the application must be made in cham- rs. Wilde will be tried again at the next ses- sion of the central criminal court. Through- out the proceedings today he was very pale, but he did not show any signs of elation when the result of the deliberations of the jury was made known. As Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for the prisoner, left the court he was heard te remark to a friend: “Truth is mighty, and will prevail.” There was a big crowd of people outside the Old Bailey during the last stages of the famous trial today, but there was no demonstration for or against the prisoner upon the part of the populace. In spite of this, Wilde was kept in the prisoners’ room of the court for an hour after the adjourn- ment, or until the crowds had dispersed, before he was taken to Holloway jail. GROSS NEGLIGENCE SHOWN. Verdict of the Coroner's Jury on the Wreck of the Elbe. LOWESTOFT, Eng., May 1.—The cpr- oner’s jury which has been investigating the cause of the sinking of the North Ger- man Lloyd steamship Eibe after a col- Usion, which occurred early in the morning of January 30 last, returned a verdict to- day of gross negligence upon the part of the mate and lookout man of the British steamer Crathie, which ran into and sank the Elbe. The two men mentioned, as shown by the testimony of Sharp, the steward of the Crathie, were found by him in the galley of the steamer when the steward went on deck at 5 o'clock on the morning of the collision, although on the port side of the Crathie were a number of lights, which the steward then believed to be on fishing boats. The three men stayed in the galley until the collision occurred. In spite of this, owing to the absence of evidence from the survivors of the Elbe, the jury found that there was not sufficient proof that the Crathie was solely blamable for the collision, and on the question of standing by the rule of the road, the jury exonerated Capt. Gordon, the commander of the Crathie, from all blame. William Saunders, M. P., Dend. LONDON, May 1.—Mr. William Saunders, member of parliament for the Walworth division of Newington, is dead, aged seventy-four years.

He sat for East Hull in the parliament of 1885- 6, and in politics was a radical, in favor of federal home rule, the taxation of ground values, local option, the legal eight- — day, improvements by betterment, c. Marriage After Divorce. LONDON, May 1.—The Duke of New- castle, who is a prominent member of the English Church Union, has written a letter to the Times in connection with the protest made by Rev. Father Black at the wedding of Theodore Brinckman and a stepdaughter of Lord Aylesford at St. Mark's Church on Saturday last. | Mr. Brinckman’s first wife’secured a divorce from him last year. In his letter the duke says unless the bishops of the Church of England determine without delay to stand by the indissolubility of the marriage tie and the sanctity of the church offices he will be obliged to advocate the disestab- lishment of the church, as all its endow- ments cannot be weighed against ene such affair as that which brought forth the Frotests of Father Black. HIS CONDITION SERIOUS. {ness of the Duke of Orleans Causes Apprehension, LONDON, May 1.—The physician in at- tendance upon the Duke of Orleans, who fractured his leg by a fall from his horse while out hunting at Seville on Friday last, has telegraphed to the duke’s rela- tives, saying that he is suffering from a slight attack of pneumonia and that his condition is serious.
