The orgler df Second Assistant Postmaster General Shallenberger, limiting the consid- eration pf bids for carrying the mails on star routes to those received from persons living on or-contiguous to the routes on which service is to be performed, has not been in operation a sufficient length of time to show to just what extent the service will be affected by it. The order applied to those routes which would be advertised after February 3, 100, and, as each advertisement is re- aquired to be out from ten days to two weeks, no awards were made under <he new order until after March 1. For those contraéts which have been awarded, rea- sonable bids from local men have been re- ceived, and it is believed that_competiti among the local bidders will be incree s the issuance of the order becomes more generally known. There has been an impression in some quarters that the contracts for carrying the mails on star routes have been let out in that is, by count speculative bidders, and me other way, undue advanta tkat it is cure omtract refrained from biddin: ion which is being nd the order supplement come by the inforr spread by means of the press, will be included in the monthi of the Postal Guide for the current month, which gc postmaster throughout the United ‘oxition Approved.

Better Service Expected. It is conceded by the department that the cost of the service under the new order will probably be increased somewhat, but not to the extent Which has been represented by some who are’ opposed to limiting the bid- De: ding to local men, but is claimed that moderate increase will be warranted in si curing a better of equipment and more reliable and Pr carriers. in and that sed by Con- puntry, who ne performance Morel 1a s n made for r of routes, under the order utisfacto: bids having been r of what is being n instance for a route in’ miles Jong, was aw. bidder, under the I: num, who secured a Je willing to accept 849.50 fo der the recent award this same for submitted a bid and w at S68, thn: = the kervice saving $11 to the gove ung the money in th Latest Report Transmitted by General Otis, Gen, Otis has reported tional casualtie: Deaths: fever—February 28, .

The Secretary of War has issued an order for the“creation of an entirely new military ‘@ivisiin, to be known as the “di- vision of the, Pacific,” embracing all the Philippine. arghipelago. The division in turn is to: be divided Into four military de- partments: as“follows: The department of northern Luzon, commanded by Gen. Mac- Arthur; ;the @epartment of southern Lu- zon, commanded by Gen. Bates; the de- partment! of the Viscayas, commanded by Gen. Hughes,’ and the department of Min- danao and. :Jplo, commanded by Gen. Kobbe. Major General Otis will retain the supreme command over these depart- ments a4 division commander, occupying toward ‘them; a position corresponding closely to that occupied by Gen. Miles to- ward the military departments in the United States. It is sald at the War D partment that the purpose of the new or- der of things is to free Gen. Otis of the many minor details incident to the admin- istration of the island, leaving him at lib- erty to devote more time to larger ques- tions of poliey and civil administration. ——_—_—_—_-2+—__ On Daty at the Fruit Ports.

Mr. Henry E. Butters of San Francisco, who was prominently identified with the construction and exploitation of street rafl- in Cape Town, Africa, and in the city of Mexico, is now engaged in the construc- tion of an electric street railway in Geneva, iil be completed within the next few This enterprise is the result of a casual visit to Geneva by Mr. Butters about two and a half years ago. At that time he found a congested population, badly served by old-fashioned steam tramways and horse cars, and the idea at once occurred to him of obtaining control of the franchise of the principal companies and organizing them for the operation of an electric street rail- way system on the American plan. The idea met with great favor among the local capitalists, with the result that in the course of a few months Mr. Butters and his associates had secured a controlling in- terest in the principal street railway com- panies at Geneva. French and English capitalists are largely interested in the en. terprise, which is designed to own and con- trol all the street car lines in the city and canton of Geneva. The engineer, under whose direction the new lines are being con- structed, is Mr. Stephen B. Field of New York and Boston. The American overhead trolley system is being used and also the American system of conduits for under- ground cables for the first time in Europe. Mr. B. H. Ridgely, consul at Geneva, has made the enterprise the subject of a special report to the State Department. ee + Marrowstone Point Improvements. A board of officers, consisting of Capt. William W. Robinson, jr., assistant quar- termaster; Capt. Harry Taylor, corps of en- gineers, and Capt. John D. C. Hoskins, 34 Artillery, has been ordered to meet at Fort Flagler, Washington, March 30, to report as to the advisability and approximate cost of clearing timber and underbrush from a portion of the Marrowstone Point military reservation, Washington, in order to af- ford direct communication between the bat- teries constituting the armament at Fort Flagler, and also to give a field of view to the position finders. The board will also consider the advisability and approximate ccst of the construction of a road between the garrison and the batteries’ at Fort Flagler.

Secretary Hay has stated that, so far as he knew, there is no foundation for the announcement by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian premier, that the American-Can- adian commission will soon reassemble. Sec- retary Hay said that he had no communi- cation with the British government on the subject nor had any event occurred which made the gathering of the commission a matter of immediate necessity. He added that there might be some official dispatches .on the way from England which throw some light on the subject, but no intimation ae arrival or contents had reached Army Orders. Maj. Frantis L.
